present state OF trade between this cOun-
try and Great Britain. He said that
large part OF the land hitherto occupied
with staple crops, such as are raised
mainly i'm Illinois, could no longer be
employed for that purpose. The land
near towns was too valuable. They
were putting it into gardens, raising
vegetables, etc, called truck IN the
South and garden sass in New Eng
land. Ii was becoming more and more
the fashion with all European countries
To- buy of us. More and more tney
were coming 10 look 10 Us, the men
who feed the people abroad. Their
markets become emphatIcalIy our mar
kets. Whatever may have been the
wiSest craftsmanship in the past in re-
gard 10 the currency, our currency had
now got mp 10 the level with the cur
rpncv of the world, So that our dollar,
whether paper, silver or gold, was
uual i'm value 10 the dollar OF
the world; and the currency
should now be let alone.
Ii we were wise We would see that our
currency was based upon principles so
sound and so general that II would be
upon the same valuation with the cur
rency of the world Ii We were wise we
would arrange il so that an American
dollar would be a dollar all over the
world. Cheers That was the lesson
he wished 10 leave them. He then
bcgyed 10 introduce Gen. sherman, who
was a lar more entertaining speaker than
he was. Laughter.
Gen. Sherman said: | am always
glad 10 De here in Illinois and see your
faces and look over this grand country
i'm which YOU live. The President, in
Washington at the Capitol, can read the
official reports from every cOun-
ty i'm every State in the Union. He
speaks 10 YOU knowingly. He
knows the resources of the old countries
and when he tells YOU there is univer-
sal prosperity you have the right to be-
Hrye il. Cheers | find that this
country is more prosperous to-day than
il has been for the last fifty, years. 4
ann sure it will bc so if you deserve it
and am sure you deserve il. CHEERS

lie lives in Illinois and knows all about

me Gen. sherman and the President
know more about the crops OF Illinois
