Anniversary' Writhe Mercantile Benefieial
.Alusoeuition.
Last evening the Academy of Music was
well filled with a fashionable and intelligent
audience; on the occasion of the anniversary
of the Mercantile Beneficial Aisociation.
The stage was Pretty well filled with invited
guests, prominent members of the mercan-
tile fraternity, distinguished clergymen and
pnblie men.
An orchestra was in attendance, and for
more than half an hour treated the vast au
diencnwith excellent music. '
At half-past seven o'clock W. C. Ludwig,
Esq., introduced the Hon. Alexander G.
Cattell, as Prisident of the meeting. [Ap.
;dense.]
Cattell, upon taking, the chair, re
marked that a fortnight since, when the
committee waited upon him to obtain his
consent to act as president of the meeting,
he : excused birnsel f-on the ground ' that tits
threatened engagements seemed to require
that he would have to leave home, and thud'
be would not be able t 9 comply. He
thought also that he would not- have suffi
cient time to prepare such: remarks turthe
Occasion would require. Finally he did
consent, but it was with the understanding
that he would not be expected ..tomake a
speech. It was, therefore, not his purpose
to inflict a speech on tills occasion. He
knew that it was customary upon gentle
men taking the chair as president, of public
assemblages, to occupy considerable time
iH makingspeeches, thus taking up the
time that should be appropriated to other
and moredistinguhihed men. The custom
of presidential speech making - would
be more honorable In the breach than in
the observance. [Applause.] He did not
at all desire, on the present occasion, to
encroach, upon any of his distinguished
friends to-night. But notwithstanding this
he would beg leave to say a word or two.
He thought that he would not do any injus
tice to any other class of people or profes-.
Mon when he said that he thought the mer
cantile profession exceeded them all. The
manufactitrer may be considered the bone
and sinew of the body politic, but the mer
chant was like the heart of the system that
promoted life [applause], for it is trade and
commerce that give life to business. [Ap
plause.] The prosperity of Philadelphia is
indebted to the enterprise, energy, capital,
honor and sterling integrity of the mercan
tile community. The merchants are the
great promoters or organizers of the system
of internal improvements. This classi is
ever foremost in progressing with works of
civil" etion. Bee where the iron horse tra
vels over the iron track, as though 'chasing
the setting sun [applause] , from the Atlan
tic coast to the peaceful shores of the Pa
cific: from the frozen region of the North
to the tropics on the Gulf. [Applause.]
Our system of canals and steamers, the twin
sisters' of civilization, have built up much
of the ;prosperity of Philadelphia. It is the
enterprise, the capitaL the energy and brains
of the merchant to which we,.as a people,
/ are indebted for our procperity. It is the
province of the merchant to develop tb:
mineral wealth, the fields and forest, to fa
cilitate and cheapen traveLt and multiply
the, means of transportation. To advance
these the merchant his ever taken the initia
tory step. In whatever tends to romote
the interests, the honor and di y o the
community, the merchant has not been un-
mindful. But there is yet more work for
him. There are yet other fields for his en
terprise. He must give a fall support to
the Southern line of steamers so ably
managed by the present board of directors.
Let them have half a million or a million
of dollars. if necessary, and thus push
on the enterprise. If it be desired to re
tain what we have, and gain more of foreign
commerce, the transatlantic steamers must
be supported, or else the commerce of Phi
ladelphia will become a byword and a re
p-04phi . Besid es energy.and honorable deal
ings, the merchants are distinguished for
their benevolence and charity. In Phila
delphia we have many charitable institu
tions, asylums, hospitals, deaf snd dumb
institutions; its homeb for the poor, for the
orphans. Search the records of these orga
nizations, and you will find them all sup
ported by the benign literality of the
merchants of Philadelphia. [Applause.]
The speaker now alluded to that beautiful
pile of architecture, the Girard College, as
s monument to the enterprise and liberality
of a single ,Philadelphia merchant. [Ap
plause.] The ' merchants of Philadelphia
can certainly claim enterprise and devotion
to the country duringlhe long night of civil
war. From the time when the glorious flag
of America went down at Sumter until it
was raised again above its shattered walls,
the merchants of Philadelphia gave their
untiring and unflinching devotion to the
whole country. [Applause.] In the
darkest hours of our peril they never
failed to respond whenever a call was
made for men or money. [Applause.]
The speaker now appealed to the mercantile
community to give all the encouragement
they can to promote the interest of the asso
ciation. He alluded to the vicissitudes of
life and the novel and peculiar nature of the
life of the merchant. The association is not
organized to alter the laws of trade, but
simply to assist those of the profession who
may in the course of time meet with times of
'adversity It is an institution that obeys
the Scrip tural injunction not to let the right
hand know what theleft does. [Applause.]
Even the Board of Directors' do not know
who obtains redef; this is confided to a small
relief committee. The speaker now ad
dressed the Jellies particularly, and in some
pleasant remarks, showed how they could
assist in promoting the objects of the insti
tution.
The speaker then retired amid much ap
plause.
Mr. Love now read the annual report,
The Rev. Alfred Cookman waanow intro
duced. He was received with applause.
He said that he felt inclined to acknowledge
the deep emotion that overcame him m
using to make an address, and he would
also acknowledge that he felt a just pride ae
a citizen of Philadelphia,, bec.ause he lived
in no mean city. [Applause.] He felt
thankful to Mr. Cattell,who,in hisiemarks,
had so beautifully elucidated the syetem of
brotherhood of the Mercantile Benevolent
Association, which is so rapidly extending,
not only in this city, but throughout the
world! He was glad that his lot was cast in
the city of Brotherly Love, or city of beau
tiful residences, a city of magnificent mouu
xiaents:and memorials of the benevolence,
and the enterprise, the charity of her citi
zens. Rome had its Coliseum, Thebes her
temples, Egypt'her pyramids; and Philadel
phia has her Girard College for orphan boys,
her homes for friendless children, her asy
lums and her Mercantile BeneVolent Asso
ciation. [Applause.] The speaker now
alluded to the Roman mother who, in refer
ring to her own children said, "These are
myjewels." May bot Philadelphia exclaim,
upon beholding all these temples of virtue,
charity, liberality, refinement and Chris
tianity, that are reared everywhere in
this city, from the Delaware to the Schuyl
kill, " These are my jewels"?
'He, the speaker, felt'great grstification
upon. witnessing the spirit of • brotherhood
that seems- to be marching triumphantly
throughout' the world. May it not tend to
-aWaken the tender memories of individual
brotherhood? May it not bring , to memory
the scenes of youth after we have reached the
riper years of old age? Doe's it not seem at
thih time that the angel of brotherly: love,
with the signet of heaven on its brow, is
encircling the world with a series of broth
eihoods for wise, charitable and Christian
purposes?,, The, brotherhood of the . / mar
clients is promote friendship and lieppl
liess;.then we have other brotherhmid4 for
the jaromotion of many other good things;
we cave a great national brotherhood that
was defiantly assailed by the demon of sla
fay, demon that used every art and hell
rah design to disorganize that national coat
i act; but that demon failed, and we stand
to. night in a much better condition. than
ever. before. [Trernendous applause.] Uni
versal Rberty,impartialjustice,equalxtgbts,
now constitute the predominant principles
of our great national brotherhood.", [Great
apnl an se. ] Thus - we present a much stronger ,
and more noble compact than ever before.
[Renewed applause.l.The speaker now in;
treduced the Christian Brotherhood, and
expressed his belief that the good time was
coming where things on earth will be more
like the things in heaven. '
During these remarks he alluded perso
nally to Mr. Vincent, the great English re
former, the martyred Lincoln, Chief Jastice
Chase Gen. Howard and Judge Bond—the
able,impartial, noble, patrioticjadge whose
promptims saved the city of Baltimore
from being deluged with human blood. At
the mention of each of the above names the
audience applauded. When the name of
Judge Bond was pronounced the applause
was loud and continued.
Mr. COokman now tiddressed himself to
the object of the Mercantile Benevolent As
sociation, and he felt sure that the encon
•ragement to its managers would be only re
newed during the present.year.
The Rev. Phillips Brooks delivered an
eloquent address. In beginning, he said
that he made no claim to being a, merchant;
but, if deVotion to the principle which ac
tuates them is considered, then be felt that
his presence was not an intrusion. He
would take a . 6bmewhat different course in
his remarks .from , those enunciated by the
two distinguished gentlemen who had kire
ceded him. Re would take a hurried view
of the mercantileinterests, in a general way,
ancient and modern. He alluded to the
condition of commerce in, the fifteenth
century, when a few, creeping ships went
along the coast, bearing a few things inci
dent to the country, and contrasted it with
that of the present time. In the time of
Virgil, before the Christian era, the, poet
laureate then proclaimed against commerce
and in favor of the isolation of nations, a
prerequisite to the golden age. Virgil enter
tained this idea; but the poet laureate of
Queen' Victoria's time, Tennyson, whose
poem .on commerce was the knitting of all
nations, sending forth their ships bearing
on every sea the white-sails of commerce.
The contrast between Virgil and Tennyson,
who lived 2,000 years apart, was dascribed
in language at once eloquent and forcible.
He considered that the merchant estab
lished not only the standard Of commerce, but
that of national life. It was not thelawyer,
the scholar, or the minister, that did this;
it is the merchant alone. The merchant es
tablishes the standard of modern time; the
merchant in . India, whom you never saw
and never expect to see, trades with you
because yon have based the standard of
commercial relation on the principal of
honor and honesty. [Applause.] Withiu
the past few years the merchants estab
lished the standard of loyalty. [Applause.]
He thought the country owed a debt of
gratitude to the merchants of Philadelphia
and the merchants of the North. [Great
applause.] The merchants strike the key.
note in ail these good works of enterprise,
liberality, generosity, benevolence and
charity. Yon have not come here to-night
simply to have your ears tickled with a
mere reiteration of the good things you
have done, nor what you are yet to do. In
fact the merchant has a fearfal weight of
responsibility resting upon him. As he
establishes the social standard of society he
should be careful about extravagance, be•
cause in this he seta the standard for the go
vernment of others. The present or coming
winter promises to be a very severe one.
and - he would suggest that in place of
erecting a standard of extravagance, the
Merchant will substetute economy, and
with the wealth he possesses not forget the
suffering poor of Philadelphia, nor forget
the Mercantile Beneficial Association. Mr.
Brooks retired amid great applause.
The audience separated to the music of
the national melody, performed by the or
chestra.
