It has become not only the strongest com- mercial organization in the west, but one that commands the respect and has the best wishes of every citizeu in the state. This fact was attested at the banquet given by the association in Lincoln on Friday even- ing, which was attended by all the state officials, the managers and stewards of the public institutions of Nobraska, the oficers of the sovernment of Lincoln and the most pr it business men and manufac- turers from all parts of the state. A report of the banquet these columns yesterday, but there were many speeches made and much said that ill bo of general interest, and for that reason a more detailea report of the remarks made by the prominent busiuess men and state ofticials is given below. Mayor Weir's Address of Welcome. In his address of welcome Mayor Weir of Lincoln exvressed his gratitude for the honor conferred upon him and ventured the opinion that the citizens of Lincoln were in move- given in hearty sym with the objects and aims of the Manufacturers and Consumers asso- ciation. Continuing, the mayor said: “If there 1s any one thing which the people of this state should foster and encourage 1t is the indu enterprises of the sta l 2 *He that careth not for those of his own Totsohold 1 worse. than_an infdel,’ say,the seriptures, and this statement is just as true of city and state matters as it is of family matters. Oneof the chief causes of the prosperity and development in any commun- ity 18 the local pride of the citizens m their affairs, and nothing builds up lc enter- ises quicker than the sympathy and en- gement of the citizens immediately in terested in local_development. The future prosperity of a city or state depends largelv on the character, push and enterprise of those who aro responsible for its well being. Many a city now dwarfed and stunted 1 its growth woull have been papulous and progressive had it not been inbabited by a lov of droues.

And, finally, I desire to congratulato your association on the excellent spread on the tables heve tonight, Mayor Bemls Ke Hon e P. Bemis, mayor of Omaha, responded 1o the toast in honor of his city ‘I'ho mayor, who has from its first weeption been u strong advocate of the Manufacturers and Consunicrs assoclation, was od with upplause. Prefacing his remarks with u fow well chosen words, the mayor said This is the third time that I have had the pleas: of addressing memvers of the Manuiacturers and Consumers association, Bosh previous times on the occasion of magnificent expositions in Omaha, when the matufactories of Neuraska made a showing f svhich any older state might be proud. The association is a grand thing for the state—a grand thiag for Omana, Lincolu and all othier cities and towns of the state. It has ocen instrumental in increasing the trade of our home institutions and establish- fng a system of reciprocity of which, by the way, we are all warm advocates when our fmmediste interests are affected. Lincoln exhibits at Omalis and Omaha exnibits here 8t the state fair. “While the financial condition of the coun- try has made it impossibie for any great in. crease to be made in the volume of trade or the number of our factories, there is no dis- puting the fact that tne infiucuce of this wovement has kept great deal of mouey at home which would otherwise have goue into the peckets of eistern manufnc- turers.

Bechitel, president of the Omal Life association, followed with a speech of some lengih, which was listened to with marked attention, and it is to be regretted that want of space will uot admit its publi cation in full, Bechtel said, in part In 1892 five companies operating in Ne- collected from the state the immense 2100578, and paid back in cred §1,050,72%, or but 502 per cent of the sum col ted, making a net loss to the state of §1,050,140-and yet we are told by the union compavies that the prem iums paid are ot commensurate with the sk, and therefore rutes must be advanced. Included in the list from which we find this aggregate are the three Nebraska fire companies, the Farmers and Merchants of Lincolu and the Omaha and Home of Omabs. Of premiums eived, we find they collected #456,122, and disbursed for losses $104,7 0, the ratio of losses to premiums being 85.1 per cent, or a ratio of losses incurred Lo premiums of 14.1 per cont less than thatof all other com- panies transacting business it the state. “This report would indicate that not only are our people sending four times as much money outside of tho state as they are payiug lowe companies for protection against los Ly fire, but they are paying their premiums 1o companies that are uot us well managed, where their interests are not as safely con- served as are the iuterests of those who look to Nebraska institutions for protection and indemuity. “The cluss of companies known as ‘old line' rveceived as vremiums from Nebraska ypolicy holders during the 1802, as thown by reports made to the auditor of state, $1.302.71L56, and paid for losses in- curred 654,23, showing that the vast sum of $1,022,058.58 was lost to the state for this oue period of twelve months. Of this total of premiums paid the mere pittauce of $80,231.70, or 6.6 per cent, was paid to our two Nebraska companies,' the Bankers and the Union Life, while to the three great New York companies, the Mutual, the New York Life and Equitable alono there was contributed $665,5%.9, for which these three giants returncd in death losses paid but §120,422.58, Percentaga of Indemnity. “When it comes to business in force in the state we find that all the companics are carryiog risks to the extent of of which $1,571,000 is carried by tho Life of Linco 037,500 by the Union enth of the indemnity on the lives of Nebraska's people is placed with Nebraska institutions.

This class of a: iations paid to u\n state during ihe year 1802 the sum of 344,000 in death losses, a sum 50 per cent in excess of that paid by the old liners at an expense of only about $600,000.

The em- ployes probably number 3,000 or 6,000, They no doubt support 25,000, so that we may count 50,000 people as the direct outgrowth of the packing inuustries of Nebraska, Weo claim that in making a market for Nebraska hogs and cattle we draw large supplies of stock from adjoining aud distant states. In consequence, we have made a market for what is known as feeders. With the growth of that character of trade there ¢ bonolimit. The farmers of Nebraska ¢ expect this growth to continue.
