sion of Our I'arclgn Commerce Hy
New Waterway mi Enlarged Navy
a Restored ."Hcrchniit Murine and
llailior Improvements-- Oniinoii
Sense on the Tarill'.
Philadelphia, Keb. 2S. The address of
Senator-elect Penrose In Philadelphia
on Frlduy evening, ninde In recognition
of the eonii)llinentary bamiuet tendered
to him by the l'ennsylvunlu Hepubll
eun league, was admirable In both style
and substance. After u modest dis
claimer of personal claim to public
honor, the speaker dwelt at length
upon the special needs of Philadelphia,
to which lie pledged attention at Wash
ington. First anions these lie placed
the Improvement of Philadelphia har
bor ami the Delaware channel so as to
admit to wharfage the largest ocean
vessels and the biggest battleships.
He argued for a navy yard at Philadel
phia, and for such an Increase In the
navy as will materially promote the
restoration of the American met chant
marine, and dedicated his best energies
as senator to the accomplishment of
these lesults.
These special references to Philadel
phia needs be Justllled upon the ground
that In his election Philadelphia had
gained Its llrst direct senatorial repre
sentation In over sixty years. Hut,
.said lie:
I have served too long In the legislative
branch of our state government not to
feel thoroughly thut I am u Pennsylvu
nlun. When I reflect thut I shall repre
sent at Washington the greutest liulus
tvial, manufacturing ami agricultural
state In the Union, I come to a full realiz
ation of the grave responsibilities Willi
which tho people of l'ennsylvanla have
entrusted me.
"Western l'ennsylvanla also Is entitled
to certain Internal Improvements, for
which an appropriation by congress Is
rightfully demanded. Tho harbor of the
city of Erin should ba adequately pro
vided for by the government. Do you
realize what the commerce of the Great
Lukes means, and whut are Its future
possibilities? hast year there passed
through the straits of Detroit nearly too
vessels, carrying a total tonnage of sonio
200,000 tons more than the aggregate or
the total American salt-water coast-wise
trade. It surpasses tjie wildest dream to
consider that the shores of these lakes
not muny generations ago fringed by the
dark forest, Inhabited by Indians and
only penetrated after incredible hardship
and danger by tho missionary or tho
explorer, may at u not distant day be
come, by internal Improvement, connect
ed by navigation with the shores of
Ruiope, and the Ameiieaii-bllllt steamer
from the port of Erie may carry the
products of l'ennsylvanla under the
American (lag to tho most distant for
eign poits.
BROADER QUESTIONS.
Pittsburg's possibilities, as the head
of n water way system connecting the
lakes with the Gulf of Mexico also
claimed his attention, and to the real
ization of these he pledged his earn
est endeavors. In ainpllllcutlon of this
general theme he continued:
"In my opinion there is no subject of
moio vital importance lequlrlng action
by the next congress of the United
States thun the restoration of the Amer
ican merchant marine. The merchant
maiine, carrying the American (lag, at
one time had nearly surpassed the mer
chant marine of England. Certainly there
aro signs abroad that the American mer
chant marine may again acquire Its for
mer powerful position. Congress should
promote In every posslblo way the con
struction of American-built ships and
should provide by bounty, subsidy und
mall contract so that our merchant mu
rine, can compete with that of any other
nation. With a shore lino extending
from tho headlands of the Penobscot to
the Gulf and tho Hlo Giande, soon to be
extended through Nicaragua to 1'uget
Sound und thence to Sitka, this country
has all the repources to become a marl
time nation upon a colossal scale, and
yet tho American Hag Is a stranger to
the seas except as It Is carried from one
coastwise port to another a few bundled
miles apart. It seldom appears In Ger
man ports, while a thousand German ves
sels enter ours. In Oriental ports It Is
nlmoat unknown, and even the ports of
South America aro strangers to it. The
absorption of our capital and energy In
Internal Impiovements and Internal de
velopment, the Civil War and tho Inac
tion of our government huve combined
to produce this result. I believe wo are
approaching the time when our people
will once more resume a dominant posi
tion as a commercial nation upon tho
high seas. In that domination lies the ul
timate wealth of commerce, and In It lies
tho higher commercial supremacy of na
tions. Until that is obtained by us we
will not have achieved tho position
among the nations of the world for
which we are destined. With proper leg
islation by congress capital would be
ready for such Investment, labor now
ready and 100,000 and more American sea
men might be emplpyed. We have reached
a point In our Industrial development
when today the steel products of Penn
sylvania are sold In England, and the
same might bo the case with many other
American products und manufactures.
THE TARIFF.
Passing thence to what he termed
"the urgent and Immediate necessity
of, the hour" lie said with truth;
Tho American people demand tho im
mediate enactment of a fair and reason
able tariff measuio and relief from agi
tation, so that there may bo a revival of
business throughout tho land, and tho
country may resume the course of that
wonderful prosperity which they were be
ginning to enjoy under the Harrison ad
ministration. For several years we have
sutfoied from a remarkable business de
pression und lack of business conlldence,
und the American laborer, onco happy
and contented, having opportunity for
employment, and receiving good wages,
has suffered severely. I hope und believe
that the speedy enactmnt of u fair und
udequato tariff bill will revive our In
di'Btrles nnd all forms of business, and
will restore peace and contentment to
the homes of American workmen. It Is
a recognized fact that tho next president
will, soon ufter the 4th of March, call an
extra session of congress, to meet about
the middle of March. 1 hope and believe
that congress will be patriotic enough to
effect the necessary tariff legislation with
out delay. Refore June, let us hope, the
president will huve approved a tariff
measure which will restore at un early
date happiness, prosperity and business
conllilenco to our country. Such a meas
lire, if wisely nnd conservatively framed,
should bo permunent. Surely the Ameri
can people will not repeat their mistakes
of the past. Under wise leadership, the
Republican party can hope for an Indell
nlto eontlnuunco of power, and that
will mean the preservation of tariff log
Islatlon and the maintenance of business
stability und national credit,
I am deeply Impressed with tho Im
portance to the country of having the
approaching legislation framed upon
broad, patriotic and udequute lines, so
that the duration of the legislation may
bo permanent. I am earnestly deslrouB
of tecelvlng personally und directly tho
advice, suggestion and co-operation of
the manufacturers and business men of
Pennsylvania In the framing of these
schedule.
Pennsylvania, above' all other states,
Is vltnlly Interested In this mutter. Our
Btate has developed into an empire, un
der the broad, protective policy of the He
publican party. 1 shall be glad at any
time to see or hear directly from our
people us to the details or this measuie,
and 1 Intend, Industtlously and earnestly,
1o strlvo for the proper protection of tho
Industries of our gicat state.
If wo can finmc tho right kind of
bill now, It will, let us hope, be built upon
a permanent foundation. Out' great busi
ness Interests will be relloved from this
continual, annoying agitation,' nnd wo
can reasonably expect that the wish of
every business man In tho community will
bo realized, und the tariff will be taken
out of politics. Our people, relieved of
this question, will be ablo to take up the
consideration of broader and more states
manlike questions for political discussion
not less vital to their welfare.
The Impression made by the address
was most favorable, and Is believed to
have done much to reconcile to Mr.
Penrose's election many who lately
opposed his candidacy for the United
States senatorshlp.

His Father from Electric Current.

PROSPECTS FOR ROAD LAWS.
The prospects are bright for the en

ous propositions of this kind are pend
ing, but that prepared by Professor

eral approval. The state administra
tion Is back of It, and the League of
American Wheelmen Is giving It uctlve
support. There Is not likely to be

mestic concerns and exempting them
from taxation has been passed second
leading in the house, and will reach the
senate within n week.
