est your many patriotic speeches during.
your recent memorable trip in the south
and west, and their desire to zee and
listen to YOU has been intensified"
President Harrison replied:
~"Governor Hill, Mr. Mayor, and Fellow-Citi-
zens:
II receive with great qualification the
very cordial expressions which have
fallen from the lips of his excel
lency, the governor of this great state,
and his honor the mayor of this great
municipality. 1t is very gratifying to
me to be thus assured that as Ameri-
can citizens, as public officers admins
tering each different functions in con-
nection with the government OF the
nation, state and municipality, we in
common with this great body of citizens
whose servants we all are, have that
common love for our institutions and
that common respect for those who by
appointed constitutional methods have
been chosen to administer them. Such
occasions obliterate all differences and
bring us together in the great and en-
during brotherhood of American citi-
zens. [Cheers.l
"You have concentrated here great
wealth and great productive capacity for
increased wealth; great financial insti-
tuti0ns that reach out in their inf1u-
ences and effects over the whole land.
The general government is charged with
certain functions in which the people
have a general interest. Among these
is the duty of providing for our people
money with which its business transac-
tions are conducted. There has some
times been, in some of the regions of
the great west thought that New York
being largely creditor state, was dis
posed to be little hard with the debtor
communities of the great west. But
narrow views ought not prevail with
them or with you, and will not in the
light of friendly discussion. The law OF
commerce may be selfishness, but the
law of craftsmanship should be broader
and more liberal. [Applause.]
IT do not intend to enter upon any
subject that can excite divisions, but |
do believe the general government is
solemnly charged with the duty of see
ing that the money issued by it is al
ways and everywhere maintained at
.par. [Applause. believe / speak
that which is the common thought OF
all, when say every dollar of paper or
coin issued or stamped by the general
government, should always and every
where be as good as any other dollar.
[Applause.] I am sure we would all
shun that condition of things into which
many people of the past, have drifted,
and of which we have had in one of the
great South American countries re-
cent example-that distressed and
hopeless condition into which
all business enterprises fall when
nation issues irredeemable or
deprecated money. The necessities of
a great war can only excuse that. l am
one of those that believe that these men
from your shops, and the farmers re-
mote from money centers, have the
largest interest of all people in having
dollar that is worth one hunered cents
every day of the year, and only such.

not so good as another, venture the
assertion that the poorer dollar will do
