Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the National Commercial Convention: Held in Boston, February, 1868 The Commercial Convention held in Detroit, in 1865, was the first occasion on which the merchants of the nation assembled together, to consult in reference to those great industrial and financial questions in which they have a common interest. That Convention was called in the hope and belief, that the members composing it, forgetting for the moment the particular branch of enterprise with the prosperity of which they were as individuals more especially identified, and laying aside also temporarily, local considerations and preferences, would endeavor to ascertain what would best advance the interests of the country at large, as it was then situated and give definite expression to the opinions which they might reach, for the information of their fellow-citizens, and especially of the representatives of the people charged with the duty of framing the national legislation. The experiment was in a good degree successful. The attendance of delegates was large; the discussions were sustained with ability; germane and valuable statistics were supplied; and broad and comprehensive views were unfolded of the resources, the capabilities and the necessities of the nation. It was encouraging to hear commercial questions debated so thoroughly, upon their merits, by men who had a practical knowledge of what they were talking about, and entirely apart from all political and party considerations. The Detroit Convention, if it produced no other result, impressed business men with a new conviction of the important influence which, in the sphere appropriate to its exercise, they might legitimately exert upon public sentiment, by unity of purpose and of action. The activity and efficiency of the various Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, undoubtedly received from it a new impulse; but it had become apparent that something more than the agency of these as their individual and independent capacity, was necessary to the complete attainment of the desired result. It was determined therefore, not only to hold a second general Convention, but also, to use the occasion for the organization of a National Chamber of Commerce, by means of which relations of an intimate and a permanent character might be established between the bodies which would be assembled in it. The duty of calling this Convention was devolved upon the Boston Board of Trade. A Committee, who for some time had the subject under advertisement reported favorably in reference to it, on the second of December, 1867, and the Board voted to adopt their recommendations, on the sixteenth of the same month.
