CINCINNATI, August %.
At the close Of the session Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce this morning, theS ecre-
tary of the Treasury, John Sherman, was
introduced to the merchants by President
Hartwell. He was greeted with cheers,
and spoke substantially as follows:
Gentlemen It gives me great pleasure
to, meet so many Of the business men of
Cincinnati, even for a brief period. Ihave
q great deal to do with merchants, and
take this opportunity to congratulate you
that, by the bounty Of Divine Providence,
you will have to market the largest crop
we have ever gathered, since he world was
born, in this country. The only point Of
unpleasant nature affecting the material
interest is the misfortune which has be-

soon to be based upon the solid o of
the world. (Applause.) l do not wish to
talk politics to You, and do not intend to
do so, but l suppose it is the common de-
sire of all men engaged in business to have
a staple and certain standard of value; and
although you and I may differ as to the best
means OF obtaining it, and as to whether
the means that have been adopted nave
been the proper means, yet l believe it is
the desire OF the merchants OF Cincinnati
that their money should be as good
as the money of any country with
which we trade, and that, / think,
will soon be accomplished. / take a hope
full view Of our business affairs. After this
week there will be an end Of bankruptcies,
as men who believe they are not in a con-
dition to pay their debts will have taken
the benefit Of the law provided for their re-
lief After Saturday mex we will stand
upon the basis Of our property and our de-
served credit. 1t has been the habit of
one OF our able and influential journals to
charge me with all the bankruptcies of the
country. II a grocer could not sell goods
enough to pay expenses, or the saloon
keeper could not sell beer enough to get
rich, he took the short way OF paying his
debts, and this paper would nnoun the
fact that he had been Shermanized. We
have passed through q severe crisis; it has
been common in all countries; q ray Of
