There is no year in the history Of the United
States in which, through all it's borders, the
AGRICULTURAL has rejoiced as he does this year.
There are no politics in agriculture; the crop for
the democrat and for the republican is alike
good or alike bad; the need of the product ia
alike to democrat and to republican.
We meet, therefore, at this agricultural fair
ground, if nowhere else, on the broad plane of
American citizenship, which is much higher
title than democrat and republican. It is in
that capicity stand before you this morning
and it is in that capacity extend to you my
congratulations and my very hearty thanks for

country you live in and you should thank God
daily, almost as the Pharisee, that you are not
