continue to be close and cordial. Much
more gratifying I the noble and reso
lutely favorable attitude of the presi
dent of that great republic. It is
enough to remember the , obstacles
which bis stubborn will have overcome
in negotiating the reciprocity treaty
and obtaining the ratification thereof,
and hi firm purpose to summon a spec
ial session of congress to definitely Ap
prove of it. Besides the sympathy and
respect which w inspire among the
American people by our exemplary con
duct as an independent people who re
alise the duties and responsibilities of
ritisenship, these circumstances power
fully contribute in solidifying the good
understanding between the two nation.
"It is our interest to worthily culti
vate these sentiments and we cannot do

PRESIDENT TALKS
MADE TWELVE SPEECHES IN TRIP
ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA.
Telia People of Function of Individual la
Building Up the State- An Imsaeaa
Crowd Greets Him at Every Stop
N Number ot CUUdre Were Present, te
HI Pleasure.
Aberdeen, 8. D., April 8. President
Roosevelt yesterday traversed South
Dakota and made more speeches than
on any other day during his present
trip. He began with two speeches at
Kioux Falls in the morning and ended
hi 12th speech in the evening at Aber
deen. Speeches were con Quad to the
most part to the tariff and to th gen
eral prosperity of the country. In all
hi speeches he followed closely th
line of nis former addresses on these
subjects. The president wa accorded
a cordial welcome at the different stop
ping places, and at many station
where the train did not stop crowd
gathered and cheered as the special
train sped by. One feature of the day
was the large number of children in th
various audience and the president re
ferred to them several times, aaying
that he wa glad to e that ;the stock
was not dying out.
The president bad as bis guest dur
ing the day Senators Kiitredge and
Gamble and Representatives Martin
and Burke, the South Dakotajdelegation
in congress. They left th train at
Aberdeen.
At Tulare the president departed from
bis custom and, descending, from hi
car, shook hands with the people gath
ered at th station.
.Yankton was the first top after th
train leJt Sioux Fall. To the multi
tude at Yankton, the president spoke
on the tariff and the qualities of good
citisenehip. saying in this connection:
"It has been a pleasure to see you, I
can i am up all I bave to sayto you in
a couple of phrases. You heed wie
laws. Bee that won get them. Yon
need honest administration oi th law,
t-ee that you have it. But don't make
the mistake of thinking that any law
or any administration of law; can take
the place of the fundamental qualities
that make a good individual citiien and
make a good nation, the qualities of
honesty, of courage and of good, com
mon sense."
At Mitchell the president made tl.
longest address of the day. "' Hi audi
ence wa large and hi speech wa fre
quently interrupted by applause. Here
be discussed the work of individuals
and the important part they play in
the upbuilding of the nation.
"You can lift up a man if he stum
bles, but if he' lies down yon cannot
carry him. If you try to, it will not
help him and it will not help you.
So, 'fundamentaly, it must rest up,
yourat if to win success. As I said, law
can do something, wise legislation of
the government can do something. If
yon bav law badly administered they
will stop any prosperity. It Is easy
enough to get a bad law that will stop
the whole business, but to get good '
law is not u easy. It is easy to sit
outside and say bow the man inside
Nhoold run the machine, but it is not
so easy , to go inside and run "the
machine yourself.
"This prosperity to which we bav
attained has been reached under eerie
of economic move included in sys
tem, though carrying out certain idea
in the currency and in th tariff. We
cannot afford to reverse th rystem.
Improvement can be made in it. In
ibe tariff, for instance, schedule are
not sacred, and, a the needs of th
nation change and shift, it will be nec
essary to change certain schedule to
meet those shifting needs."

at a Actual Loss.
Mexico City, April 8. Large busi
ness concerns, while hoping for a
speedy settlement of the currency ques

lower level of silver, and were the rail
road relieved: by the adoption of torn
sound money system of stabilization
ther would be no unsound spnt in the
country' growing prosperity. Th

until a measnre cf relief adequate to
