tlcmen of the Commercial 'J'nivelers'
Association anil My Fellow titions:
1 bid von welcome, sinceie welcome,
to my home. Thrice welcome are yon
here. 1 urn honored very gtcu'tly,
honored by the call of tiiis ii.sscm
binge of eoiiinieiclal men icprcscnliiig
H great eotninorcial Interests and coming
from every section of onr eommon
country. Although yon are iiceus
tomcil to culling on people- for tnat,
1 believe I- chiclly jour business -lot
me assure you lli.it -ou never made a
call anywhere mori! agreeable to your
lioit than this call is to me It would
le pleasant to me personally to meet
you on any occasion, but it is peculiar
ly gratifying to meet you now, coining
hs u body to testify your united and
confident devotion to the Itcpiibllcan
principles enunciated by the national
lEcpiiblicau convention of I8'ii5.
"1 recognize your Inlluence as one
of the most potent factors in political
contests ami 1 am glad to know that
this year in a greater degree than ever
before, thu commercial men of the
country are united in the cause of the
Ilepublican party. You have not al
ways been In such close agreement
witli each other politically as now,
but then you have had experience and
. for four years or nearly so, you have
been attending tho school in'w hieh all
the rest of us have been pupils. It
has been u free sclu-ol. Tlie tuition
lias been free, but the ultimate cost
has been very great. No body of
American cili.uns of equal number
. could properly have a deeper interest
in the success wf Republican princi
ples than you; and none I am sure can
iloso much to secure llieir certain tri
umph as you.
"Vou are not only carriers of com
merce, but creators of contidence; not
only advocate; of process, but pruiuot
er.s of prosperity. I'verywhero you
inspire either conliileuce or distrust,
for you tell the truth about tlie condi
tion of the country. Vou not only
sell goods or used" to but you dis
seminate information aiming your cus
tomers. There is no more certain
barometer 'if My business of the
I'lt'tcd States lliau the sentiment o(
the men of w hicli this I oily usm mhlcd
hero tiiis morning is repri'seiitative.
You encourage tlie despondent and
quicken the lagging Into fresh activ
ity. ' You give new hope and stimu
late new effort in that great body of
business men upon whom so largely
depends the revival of business in all
parts of our country.
"What wo want tibovc all else, my
fellow'eitli'ns. is conlidence. And we
cannot get conliileuce by thre-itculng
to revolutionize, all values and repu
diate obligations, both public and
private. You know the facts of bus
i no v and can cliipcll tlie theories of
the dreamer and tlie misstatements of
the demngue, and one thing I like
about the commercial traveler is that
4. very one of them is for tlie tinted
States of America. (Oreat applause
and cries of 'And for McKinley, too.')
And always stand up for America."
Yesterday afternoon a delegation of
leaders of tlie National League of He
publican clubs vls'ted Mr. McKinley.
lie spoke to them at length, llrst
thanking them for their visit and com
plimenting tlie league and then say
ing: "We cannot overestimate the valuo
of the young incii in politics, and I
would not have believed it if Mr.
(foodnou had not told inn that they
were not practical politicians. My
experience with them has been
that they havo been poll
Wiait.s of the most practical sort known
in American politics. Oentlemcn,
you never had a worthier cause
ntrive for than you havo this year.
Thu (itiaucial honor of the country
and the prosperity of all its people
are enough to Inspire every American
heart to the best possible effort, I
have seen romewliero an Inquiry,
'Cannot tho United Stntes establish
a financial system of its own;
Is It too weal; ami impendent to
do thatV 1 answer: Tho United
Slates now has a llnaneial policy
which, in tho main, it has been pur
Milng since tlie beginning of the gov
ernment, nnd which it does not mean
.'to change until It enn find a better
ne Those who make the Inquiry are
usually against the American policy of
finance and they are insisting that wo
sh.ill adopt the lluauclul policy of
China and Mexico. I hopu it will not
bo thought an evidence or laelc or na

that we decline to adopt their propo
