You have here, my fellow citizens, the true national spirit, the spirit of enterprise, of of building the and free government on the D foundations of intelligence, vir- tue, morality and relizion. Thanks President Diaz. This is the gateway to the Mexican republic, and I want in this connection to express my great satisfaction with the cordial salutations tendered me by the great and distinguished President of our sister republic, President Diaz. (Enthusiastic applause and cries of “Bravo!") I thank his representative for the cordial words with which he has presented the feeling of respect and regard of his fllustrious President to the Government of the United States. (Ap- plause.) And I beg that he will convey to his President the warm regards and the personal esteem which I have for his chief masgistrate, which is shared by the whole American popula- tion (applause), and my wish for still further prosperity and advancement among his popu- lation. (Applause and cries of “Bravo!") 1 cannot fail to also recognize the cordial welcome that has been extended to me by the vears; development, progress, rt Governor of the neighboring State of the Mex- ican Government. I cannot go over there, but they can come here, and we bid them welcome with oven hearts. I can look over their coun- try (ladghter), but there is something in the traditions of this republic, something in its precedents that does not permit the President, to go outside the United States during his term of office. But as we do not hold office all the time (laughter) we will have an opportunity of going there in the future. My fellow citizens, if there was ever any doubt about ours being a united people, if you could have traveled with me twenty-eight hun- dred miles from the Caplcot at Washington to the city of El Paso, that doubt would have been completely dispelled. (Applause.) There never was such unity in the United States as there is at this hour. (Applause.) There never was g0 much for a nation of 75,000,000 people to be proud of as at this hour. (Applause.) We have sent our army and navy to distant lands and they have added glory to our flag. (Great applause.) They have brought no shame upon the American name. We sent them to China to rescue our beleaguered representatives, and they did the work and did it magnificently with the approval of the civilized world. (Continued applause.) Not a Warlike People. But it is not in the art of war that we take our greatest pride. We are not a warlike peo- ple. We are not a military people. We never &0 to war unless we have to make peace. (Great applause.) Our pride is in the arts of peace, in materlal and intellectual development, in the growth of our country, in the advancement of our people in civilization. In the arts, in the OLDEST FALM PHOENIX.

(Applause.) Here we are on the border line between the Unitéd States and another great republic, and on this side of the line we have thirty-five American soldiers and on that side of .the line there are less than a: hundred and fitty Mexi- can soldiers—so that we are dwelling in peace and amity, and causing ‘“peace on earth and do mot propose to ralse but good will to men.”” We want to settle ourndif- sand.
