Business men Of New York: I deem Il
an homer 10 follow senator Sherman. deem
IL an especial honor 20 follow Secretary Sher-
man. for can say that in our financial his
tory be takes rank among the really Illus
trious men who have administered the treas-
ury department Of the United States
Il was the good fortune of Mr. izmilton
10 organize that department with bis mas
teriy ability. aud tu piace the credit ~ the
Young Republic upon an eaauring basis. 10

through the embarrass ments resulting from
the war % 1872. II Was the good fortune OF
VIM. II. Crawford, after the great depression
that followed our victorious tru-sle, 20 re-
yive the natiUaal credit by ihe protective
tariff of 1924. II was the good fortune Of
Thos. living. after the great Wing victory of

larly happy in the career OF MI. sherman

permitted Ia shape the resumption act and
IN the executive department 10 administer
It's provisions and carry Il 20 successful
issue. That resumption act is a continuing
blessing and benefit TO this country. II has
placed the government finances

which Il was the fitting climax be benefit 10
the business interests Of this country, the
political influence Of the business men OF
the country should be given 10 the party
which originated and enforced that legsla-
ton. There Is no need for me before the
