tiaus. oil States all people, all classes and all
races who are interested 10 the paciGcatiOn OF
the couatry. No part Of the United States is
more interested in restoring harmony through
the Moth and South than Cincinnati. This
city was formerly boarder city, like Baltimore

Of the greatest OF the cities on the globe.
Four years since there was great crisis 10

OF wise anl prudent observers these Indications,

to market the great crops and are already earn:

Of any year since the crash Of 1913. ln our

that the wholesale merchants OF the great cities
arc hceinriag to have trade greater than at any

country IRON good crops, but my friends, it
secmlS to me that VIC may ask some approval
FROM cur fellow cltizans it We have placed
large part of our country 10 condition to give
them full attention 10 the raising OF crops.
IChclrs AS long as discomfort with tho Gov
crumcut and with their fellow citizens OF the
North existed in the Southern States, We all
know that politics would receive more atten-

thoriz:d to say to you that the whole Southern
country bccils again to think more OF industry,
Of i'm proyement, Of business. than politics.
Applause No part Of our country can lack
prosperity without affecting the prosperity of
the whole country, and the prosperity OF one
section is tho prosperity of all sections. 1t is
with ideas like these that we enter upon the
work OF pacfcation. 1t has been my good for
