considerable crowd assembled. and the arrival
Of the train was greeted with cheers and firing
of artillery. stop of ten minutes was had,
and the President being introduced, made a
short speech. He spoke of the present state of
trade between this country and Great Britain.
Ht said large part of the land hitherto occu-
pied with staple crops, such as are raised
mainly in Illinois, could no longer be profit
ably employed for that purpose. Land near
into gardens, raising of vegetables, etc., called
truck in the South and garden sass in New
England, was becoming more the fashion with
all European countries. For live animals, for
meat, for bacon more and more they were COM
ing to look to us. That made US really the men
who feed the people abroad. Their markets
become emphatically our market. Whatever
may have been wise statesmanship in
the past in regard to the currency, our curren-
cy had now got up to the level with the cur
rency of the world, so that our dollar, whether
paper, silver or gold. was equal in value to the
dollar of the world, and currency should now
be let alone. If we were wise we would see
that our currency was based upon principles SO
sound and SO general that it would be upon
the same valuation with the currency of the
world. IF we were wise we would arrange it
SO that an American dollar would be a dollar
all over the globe (cheers). That was the les
son he wished to leave with them. He begged
to introduce Gen. Sherman, who was far
more entertaining talker than he on this oc-
casion. daughter and cheers.)
Gen. Sherman said: II am always glad to be
here in Illinois and see your fairs and look over
this great country in which you live. The
President is our great captain in Washington
at the capital. He can read the official reports
from every county in every State in this Union.
He speaks to you knowingly. He knows the
resources of old countries, and when he tells
you there is universal prosperity you have the
right to believe. (Cheers-) 1 find thi. country
is more prosperous to-day than it has been for
the past five years. I am sure it will be so if
you deserve and am sure you deserve it,
(Cheers.) I will introduce to you Gen. Sheri-
dan. He lives in Illinois and knows all about
it. cloud cheers.)
Gen. Sheridan said: It is very true live in
Illinois, but it seems to me that Gen. Sherman
and the President know more about the crops
of Illinois than I dc. After few witty re-
marks Gen. Sheridan introduced Mrs. Hayes,
in answer to loud calls. She was greeted with
cheers, and bowed and retired. A window was
raised, and some of the matrons of the place
shook hands with the President and wife. Mrs.
Sheridan was called out, and was warmly
cheered. After brief pause the train moved
off. At Galva there was short STOP and the
usual amount of hand shaking.
