'When the dinner had been concluded President Plunkett of the Home Market club introduced (low Wolcott aud Mayor Quincy, who made ,. brief addresses welcoming the president. President McKinley was then introduced, and responded as follows: THE PRKSLD SNT*S SPEECH. “Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: The years go quickly. It seems not so long, but it is in fact six years since it was my honor to be a gues of the Home Market club. Much has happened in the Interveatag time. Issues which were then onus have be. n settled or put aside forronger and mo; e absorbing ones. Do - r mestie conditions have Improved And are generailysatlsfactdry. ? “We have made progress in industry and have realized the prosperity for which we have been striving. We have had four long years of adversity which taught us some le. sons which will never be unlearned and which will be valuable lit guiding our future action. We have not only been suc< essful in our tmanciai [ and business uffai.s but have been sue i cessful in a war with a foreign power | which added gre; t glory to American i arms and a new ch apter to American his1 tory.

I co not know why, in the year 1899, this republic has unexpectedly hai.placed before it mighty problems which it must face and meet, They have come and arc here, and they could not be kept away. ! many wno were impatient for tne conflict a year ago, apparently heedless of its ! larger results, were .the first to cry ou-t | against the far-re;i.ching consequences of I their own act. Those of us who dreadei | war most and whose every effort was directed to prevent ii, had fears of new and ! grave proDlems wl ich might follow its inauguration.; The evolution of events, which no. man cou d,control, has brought these problems u ion us. Certain it U that they have not come through any fault on our own p art, but as a high obligation, and we meet them with clear con science and ur.sel ish purpose and with good heart, resolved to undertake their solution. H i THE WAK REVIEWED. ^ “War was declared in April, 1898, with practical Uuanuuay'oy the ru-iju-sj, ami once upon us, v/as sustained by like unanimity among the pieople. There had been many who Md tried to avert It, as. on the other hand there were many who would have .precipitated it at an earlier date. In its prosecution and conclusion, the great majority of our countrymen of every section belie ved they were hghtiug in a just cause, ■and at home or on sea, or in the held, they had part in the glorious triumphs. It was the war of the undivided nation. “Every great act. in its progress* from Manila to Santiago, from Guam to Porto Rico, met universal and hearty commendation. The protocol commanded the practically unanimous approval of the American people, it was welcomed by every lover of peace beneath the Hag. “The Philippines like Cuba and Porto Rico, were intrust -d to our nands by the war, and td that great trust, under the providence of God and in the name of human progress and civilisation, we ate committed. It 1b a trust we have not sought; it is not trust from wmch wo will tlinch. The American pieople Will hold up the hands of their servants at home to whom they commit its execution, while Dewey and Otis ar d the brave men whom they command will have the support of the country in upholding our flag where it nowr floats, the sypabdi and assurance of liberty and justice. "What nation w: s ever able to write an accurate programme of the war upon which it was entering, much less deer--e in advance the sc< pe of its results? Congress can declare v;ar, but a higher nowor decrees its bounds and flxetl its relations and responsibilities. The president can direct tne movem -nts of the soldiers on „ the field and fleets upon the sea; but be can not iotese- ti.e < ,bse •») »ueu -.»ovements or prescrib - their limits. He can not anticipate or . void the consequences, but he must meet ;hem. No accurate map of nations engage 1 in War can be traced until the war is ever, nor can the metis ure of rssponsibili :y be fixed till the last gun is fired and t he verdict embodied in the stipulations on! peace.

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION. “We hear no complaint of the relation's created by the w r between this government and the tela ads of Cuba and Porto Rico. There are some, however, who regard the Philippines as in a different relation; but whatever variety of views there may be on :his phase of the question there is universal agreement that the Philippines shall hot be turned back to Spain. No true A merican can consent to that. Even if ik,willing to accept them ourselves it woul<; have been a weak evasion oL manly d ty to require Spain to transfer them to some other power or powers, and thus shirk our own responsibility. Even if we had had. as we did not have, the power to compel such a transfer, it coulc not have been made Without the most serious international complications, j j “Sugh a course could not be thought of. And yet, had we refused to accept the cession of themf we should have had no power over then;, even for their own good. We could not discharge the responsibilities upc 1 us until these islands became ours, either by conquest or treaty. There was but oae alternative, and that was either Spain or the United States in the Philippines. The other suggestions first, that they saould be tossed into the arena for the stri fe of nations; or second, be lost to the a tarchy and chaos of no i protectorate at i 1. were too shameful to be considered. The treaty gave them to the United ■Stat s. Could we have required less and * >ne our duty? Could we. after freeing the Filipinos from the domination of Spain have left them without government and without power to protect life and proper!; or to perform the international obllg lions essential to an independent state? Could we have left them in a state of anarchy and justified ourselves in our o\ n 'onsciences or before j the tribunal of mankind? Could we have 1 done that in the sight of God and man? AMERICA1; PRESENT DUTY. __ , “CTur concern not for territory, or • tr.*r!“, or empire, bet for t?lft people whose interests and d* »Uny. without our willing dt, had bee i put In our hands. It was with this f- cling that from the first dav to the last n >t one word or line went from the executive in Washington to our military and naval commanders at Manila or to our peace con missioners at Paris that did ot put av the sole purpose to be keptj in mind first after the i success of our a; ms and the maintenance of our honor, ti e welfare and happiness 1 and the rights of the inhabitants of the j Philippine islanfi ?. Did we need thexr con- ■ sent to perform great ac: for humanity? i We had it in < /ery aspiration of their mind, in every l ape of tl.elr hearts. Was . it necessary to sk their consent to capj ture Manila, the capital their islands? ; Did we ask the! consent to liberate them t from Spanish so ereigoty or to enter Ma- ! ntla hay and det roy the Spanish seapowI er there? We di not ask these; we were 1 obeying a highc • mora’. obligation which rested on us. a d which did not require anybody’s eons« at: We ;vere doing our duty by them, s God gave us the lignt < to see our duty with the consent of our town conscience; and with the approval of civilisation. Svery present Obligation has been met c id fulfilled in the expul- — ' - < r

sovereignty from their fs» while the war that destroyed _ ogress we could not ask their Nor can we now ask their con- - . can any one tell me In what form It could be marshaled and ascertained until peace and order, so necessary to nltn of reason, shall be assured and established? A reign of terror Ip not the kind of rule under whjch right action and deliberate judgment are possible, ft is not' a good time for the liberator to submit important questions concerning liberty ana government to the liberated while they are engaged to shooting down their rescuers. We have now ended the war with Spain. The treaty has been ratified by more than two-thirds of the senate of the United States and by the judgment of nine-tenths of its people. No narion was ever more fortunate In war or more honorable in negotiations in pence. Spain is now eliminated from the problem. It remains to ask what we shall do now. I do not Intrude upon the duties of congress or seek: to anticipate or forestall Its action. I only' say that the treaty of peace, honorably secured, having been ratified by the UnltStates, and. as we 'confidently expect, shortly to be ratified m Spain, congress wHl have- the power, and I am sure, the purpose, to do what in good morals Is right and ju^t and humane for these peoples in distant seas. RESPONSIBILITIES MUST BE MET. it is sometimes hard to determine what is best to do, and the best thing to do is oftentimes the hardest. The prophet of evil would do nothing,becauses he flinches at sacrifice and efTort. and to do nothing is easiest and Involves the least cost. On those who have things to do there rests a responsibility which is not on those who have no obligations as doers. If the doubters were In the majority there would, it is true, be no labor, no sacrifice, no anxiety and no burden raised or carried: no contribution from our easewnd purse and comfort to the welfare of others, or even to the extension of our resources to the welfare of ourselves. There would be ease, but. alas, there would be nothing done. But grave problems come in the life of a nation, however much a man may seek to avoid them. They come without our seeking, why we do not know, and it is not always given to us to know; but the generation on which they are forced can not avoid the responsibility of honestly striving for their solution. We may not know precisely how to solve them, but we can make an-honest effort to that end. and If. made in conscience, justice and honor, it will not be in vain. The future of the Philippine islands is now in the hands of the American people. Until the treaty was ratified or rejected the executive department of this government could on'y preserve the peace and protect life and property. Thai treaty now commits the free and enfranchised Filipinos to the guiding hand and the libeializing influences, the generous sympathies, the uplifting education, not or their American masters, but of their emancipators. No one can tell to-day what is best for them or for us. I know of no one at this hour who is wise enough or sufficiently informed to determine what form of government will best subserve their interests and our interests, their and out well-being. If we knew everything by intuition— and I sometimes • think there are those who believe that if we do not they do—. , we shbuld not need Information; but unfortunately. most of us are not In that happy state.. The whole subject is now with congress, and congress is the Voice, the conscience ^nd the judgment of the American people. Upon their judgment and conscience can not we rely? I believe in them: I trust them. 1 know of no better or safer human tribunal than the people.

PROMISE TO FILIPINOS. Until congress shall direct otherwise, If will be the duty of the executive to pos sess and hold the Philippines, giving tc the people thereof peace and beneficent government, affording them every opportunity to prosecute their lawful pursuits encouraging them in thrift and industry making them feel and know we are their friends, not their enemies; thatfcheir goo«: is our aim; that their welfare is our wel fare; but that neither their aspiration; nor ours can be realized until our authority is acknowledged and unquestioned. j That the inhabitants of the Phili ,ine» j will be benefitled by this republic is my unshaken belief; that they will have a kindlier government under our guidance, and that they will be aided in every possible way to be self-respecting and self- t governing people is as true as that the American people love liberty and have ar abiding faith in their own government and their own institutions. No imperial designs lurk in the American mind. They are alien to American sentiment, thought and purpose, Our priceless principles undergo no change under a tropical sun. They are wrought in every one of Its sacred folds and are inextinguishable in their shining stars. They go with the flat; . Why read ye not the changeless truth, I The free can conquer, but to save? If we can benefit these remote peoples, { who will object? If In the years of the future they are established in government under law and liberty, who will re gret our perils and sacrifices; who will not rejoice in our heroism and humanity* We always have perils and always pass them safely. Always darkness and clouds but always shining through them the light and the sunshine; always cost and sacrifice, but always" after them the fruition of liberty, education and civilization. I have no light or knowledge not common to my countrymen. I do not prophesy The present is all-absorbing to me. but l can not bind my vision bv the bloodstained trenches around Manila, where every red drop, whether from the veins of an American soldier or a misguided Filipino, is an anguish to my heart; but by the broad range of future years, when the group of islands under the impulse of the year just-past shall have become the gems and glories of those tropical seas. & land of plenty and of increasing possibilities, a people redeemed from savage indolence and habits, devoted to the arts ot peace, in touch with the commerce and trade of all natichs, enjoving the blessings of freedom, of civil and religious liberty, of education and of homes, and whose children and children’s children shall for ages hence bless the American republic because it emancipated and re- ; deemed their fatherland and set them in the pathway of tfte world’s best civiliza- I tlon.

Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee, in an authorized interview, was asked if in his opinion the Democratic national conven|ion of uexi year would reaffirm the Chicago platform. He said: “To say that the next democratic national convention wlli reaffirm the position taken by me convention in 1SS6 is to assert what every candid man, even slightly tamihai with existing facts, knows to be true. It is as certain as anything human can be that the question of bimetallism will be the leading issue in the campaign next year. And u is reasonable to expect that the majority of the people wtU next time declare foi the party which, means what it says and will redeem its pledges, and that they wttl not again be tricked into casting their votes in favor of tne enenttes of the principles in wnicn they believe." “On what grounds do you base your hopes for success next year?” was asked. "borne of the reasons why I am strongly hopeful of the future of our couse are as follows: In the campaign of lSSo both parties declared for bimetallism; the democrats for independent action by the United States, the republicans for an international agreement, which they pledged themselves ‘to promote.* “True, this declaration on the part of the republicans was only made to catch votes, and because the party leaders did not dare to go to the polls without it. 1 think that now no one any longer doubts that the fixed purpose of those who controlled these leaders was to maintain the gold standard, and to prevent, not promote, an international agreement On being asked if he beueved that the j cause of bimetallism was improving, he said; * • ‘I “There are as many believers in bimetall ism to-day in the United States as there ever were, and all these doubtless j are now convinced that the only way to i accomplish bimetallism ii^ through the action of the democratic party. The great effort to stop the fall of prices—the ( shrinking of values—and . relieve the distress of business resulting from these ] great evils* without doing injustice or in- i jury to any class or business, is being i more and more understood, and com- j mands the respect of honest and fair men ; always when understood, and another ! campaign of ridicule and abuse, such as that of 18%—whether dictated by igno- j ranee of penalty—cannot succeed against temperate* arguments ana appeals for simple justice, when the people have time to tairly weigh the arguments and form a deliberate judgment. “There was great unrest and dissatisfaction in 1S96 throughout the country, j resulting from falling prices and shrinking values. The republican party premised that if they*" were intrusted with power all this would be changed, and that prosperity should succeed existing conditions. ’ Mr. McKinley and the gold press now assure the country that we have prosperity. There is quite a boom in stock speculations in Wall street, lut Wall street is not the country, as we believe. A great famine and a short crop of wheat all oyfbr the world except lb. :he United States naturally raised the p; ice j of wheat while these conditions lasted, and beneficent effects of this increase in the price of wheat is still widely felt. The beneficial effects of this temporary advance in- the price of a single article. which was so • marked in a short period it continued, is fikeiy to stimulate^* desire for a return to that condition permanently, and gn extension to it to all other products. This is our purpose, and was our purpose In 1S9I5, when the republican party denounced any effort to increase prices as

& crime. , » Asked how he accounted for the activity in business, he answered: “There has been necessarily an In- i creased demand for labor within the last lew months, as the result of the with- | flrawal of large numbers of American citizens from the ordinary walks of life i to be employed in the army, whose places had to he tilled. There has also been an Increased activity in and a demand for all products which were necessary to the maintenance and support of a large army. : But all these conditions are in the very nature of things temporary, and all of us know that they must pass away with the end of the conditions which brought them into life. Making due allowances for the Influence of these three causes, on the present condition of the country, there .s to-day as much dissatisfaction and as much cause for it as there was in 1896. No relief was or is to be expected under republican management, except such as comes by famine abroad and war at home. A condition of constantly falling general prices is everywhere recognised as a condition of distress and hard times, and speculative excitement in Wall street does not change this. We believe that a small volume of money forces prices down, hence we have urged-^the coinage of our silver as well as of our gold—not only to check this grinding fall in prices, but to promote steadily advancing prices.” _ •- “Then you think that the Chicago platform is gaining ground?*' , I “I most certainly do. In the elections of last year the principles of that platform were not the leading and exclusive Issues in all sections of the country. These were partially obscured in many states and districts. The question of bimetallism, the republican effort to retire the greenbacks and to confer upon the national banks the absolute control of the volume of paper money, and to surrender the country, to the trusts, were. In many sections, tm the first time being lost sight of in the excitement of the war and its resulting questions; and in others they were sidetracked by efforts to substitute local issues in their stead. The result, was a great loss of interest and a~ large falling oft in the vote, with apparently unfavorable results to the democratic party. In Colorado, where national issues were at the front and dominant, the interest in the election was intense, the vote large and our majority overwhelming. In states where it was stated, whether truly or not, that there wsts an intention on the part of the democratic managers to sidetrack- the great issue, with the purpose of ultimately bringing the party in national convention back to j the practice of shuffling and evasion, so long persisted, in by both political parties, and still kept up by the republicans, and the results were not conclusive. Then; was, howevr, one g*-eat and valuable result—ail reasonable men are now satisfied that straddling and dodging are not popular. The next democratic nations L convention will speak out again in the same clear, unequivocal terms, and In live same manner, and in the same lines that it did In 1896. Of this there is no doubt, the assertions of the republican gold press.* with whom the wish. is father to the thought, to the contrary notwrlthso.Rr.ding."
