SHERMAN AT CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 28.-At close of the session
Of the chamber of commerce this noon the
secretary of the treasury, John T. Sherman,
was introduced to the merchants by President
HartWell He was greeted with cheers, and
spoke substantially as follows:
GENTLEMEN: 1t gives me great pleasure to
meet so many business men of Cincinnati even
for brief period. have 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
crops we have gathered since the world has
been. This country is now the scene of un-
pleasant disease, affecting industrial interests
the misfortune which has befallen large
portion of the South, where yellow fever has
spread pail of darkness among our Southern
brethren. I can congratulate you that your
currency is soon to be based upon the solid
money OF the world. Applause. 1 do not
wish to talk politics to you and do not in
tend to do SO, but l suppose it is the common
desire of all men engaged in business to have a
though you and | may differ as to the best
means of obtaining it, and as to whether the
means that have been adopted have been proper
means, yet believe it is the desire of the mer-
chants of Cincinnati that our money shall be
as good as the money of any country with
accomplished. l take hopeful view of our
business affairs. After this week there will be
an end of bankruptcies. ALI men who believe
they not in condition to pay their debts
will have taken the benefit of the law provided
for their relief. After Saturday next we will
stand on a better basis-upon basis of our
property and our deserved credit. 1t has been
a habit of one inveterate influential journal to
charge all bankruptcies of the country to
me. IL grocer could not sell goods
enough to pay expenses. or a saloon keeper
could not sell beer enough to get rich, he took
the short way of paying his debts, and this pa
per would announce the fact that he had been
we're crisis. 1t has been common in all coun-
tries ray of hope has dawned on us. Every
sign of business is hopeful. We do not owe
Europe anything of consequence. We have
gone through the debt-paying process A few
years ago we were running in debt at the rate
of 100000 900 year, but lately we have been
paying off our debt at the rate of 300, ,000, 900
year. From this time will be more pros
porous. You who live in the heart of the crest
West take heart in transacting your business,
because believe you have reached the sound
basis on which to conduct your business profit
ably-the basis of solid coin.
On descending from the stand the secretary
was greeted with general handshaking and COM
plimentary remarks.
