add word OF encouragement which may
be acceptable. After five years of hard
times and embarrassment think we may
look for change forthe better in the re-
turn to a sound currency and q reduction
OF the public debt. With vast crops on
every hand, for which there Is Q steady
demand, we find reason to justify us In
looking for prosperity. We have touched

forecast the future, but 1t is my belief that
we have q new era OF prosperity be-
fore U.s. My friends, with these
worldly blessings OF crops and in
creasing business, with health added,
we of the North have abundant cause for

we may and should share something OF
our bounty with our deeply afflicted and
suffering brethren OF the South.
Fellow citizens, there remains to me only
to thank you for your attentive and kindly
greeting. Long continued applause.
