Notable Speech at Chamber
of Commerce Banquet.
A TRIBUTE TO HIS FALLEN CHIEF.
Secretary of State n?a Onr llliilo
inntlr Inlrrponrar la Governed
ly the Monroe Iortrlne and
the Golden Itule.
NEW YOKK, Nov. 2it.-The annual
banquet of the New York chamber of
cciiinerce wa held last evening. It
was attended bf many distinguished
men, not only of Mjls city, but of state
and nation as well. Among the speak
ers were Senator ,T. L. McLnurlu ot
South Carolina, who spoke on "The
Monroe Doctrine of the Nineteenth
Century;" Governor Elect Cummins of
Iowa, who took for his theme "The
Present Prosperity of the Republic,"
and Secretary of State Hay. Mr. Hay
pnld a glowing tribute to the late Presi
dent McKinlcy. The major p.tlon ot
his address was upon the subject ot
diplomacy. Among other things he
wild:
"Let me advert but for a moment to
one aspect of our recent bereavement
which Is especially Interesting to those
engaged, as you are, in relations whose
scope Is as wide as the world. Never
since history began has there been an
event which so Immediately and so
deeply touched the sensibilities of so
vast a portion of the huniau race. The
sun which set over Lake Erie while the
surgeons were still butlliug for the
president's life had not risen on the !
Atlantic before every capital of the
civilized world was In mourning. And
It was not from the centers of civiliza
tion alone that the voices of sorrow
and sympathy reached us. They came
as wvll from the utmost limits of the
j world, from the most remote islands of
the sea; uot only from the courts of
Christendom, but from the tetanies of
strange gods and the homes of exotic
religions. Never before has the heart
of the world throbbed with a sorrow so
universal. Never before have the king
doms of the earth paid such homage
at the grave of a citizen.
"One sluiple ren-on why the millions
of this country mourned him as If they
had buried a brother and why all the
nations of the earth felt that his death
was a loss to humanity at large was
that he loved his follow men. There
were literally no bounds to his lavish
good will. In political genius. In wis
dom for government, In power of con
trolling men, he wns one of the elect of
the earth there were few like him.
But In sentiment and feeling lie wn
the most perfect democrat I ever met.
He never knew what It meant to re
gard another man as his Inferior or as
his superior. Nothing human was
alien to him. Even his death was In
thnt sense significant. He wns sluln
In the moment when, with thnt de
lightful smile we knew bo well, which
seemed like the very sunshine of the
spirit, he wns stretching forth a gen
erous hnnd to greet the lowest and
meanest unit In thnt crowd of many
thousands.
"Others will rise nnd labor and do
good service to the republic. We shall
never lack good men when the emer
gency cnlU for them. Thank God, we
do not lack thera now! Hut It may
well bo doubted if in nny century of ,
I the glorious future before us there will
j ever appear two such sincere, high
I minded, self respecting lovers of the
people as the last fifty years have
shown us lu Abraham Lincoln nnd
William .McKinlcy.
"I inn asked to say something about
our diplomacy. You want from me
ilothing but the truth, and yet If I
confine myself to the truth I cannot
help fearing I shall do my profession a
wrong In the minds of those who have
been in the habit of considering diplo
macy an occult science, as mysterious
lis alchemy und ns dangerous to the
morals as municipal politics. It must
be ndniltted thnt this conception of
the diplomatic function Is not without
a certain historical foundation.
"As to the measure of success which
our recent diplonincy has met with It
la difficult If not impossible for me to
spenk. There are two important lines
of human endeavor in which men are
forbidden even to allude to their suc
cessaffairs of the hea: t and diplo
matic affairs. In doing so one not only
commits a vulgarity which transcends
all question of taste, but makes nil fu
ture success impossible. For this ren
son the diplomatic representatives of
the government must frequently suffer
In silence the most outrageous Imputa
tions upon their patriotism, their iu
telllgeijce nnd their common honesty.
To Justify themselves before the public
they would sometimes have to place in
jeopardy the Interests of tho nation.
They must constantly ndopt for them
selves the motto of the French revolu
tionist, 'Let my name wither rather
than my country be injured.'
"lint if we are not permitted to boast
of what we have done we can nt least
say u word about what we have tried
to do and the principles which have
guuicu our action. The briefest ex
pression of our rulo of conduct is per
haps the Monroe doctrine and the gold
en rule.
"The attitude of our diplomacy may
be Indicated in a text of Scripture
which Franklin, tho llrst and greatest
of our diplomats, tells us passed
through his mind when he was pre
scnted at the court of Versailles. It
was a text his father used to quote to
blin in the old oaudle shop in Boston
when ho was a boy, 'Seest thou a man
diligent in his business he shall stand
before kings." Let us be diligent In oui
business, and we shall stand stand,
you see, not crawl nor swagger stand
as a friend and equal, asking nothing,
putting up with nothing but what ii
right and just among our peers In the
i ereut democracy of nations."
