80 long unused are now being found, and that
these regions, once so retired, occupied nv pas
tornl people, having difficult access to the CEN
ter or population, arc now being rapidly trans
formed into busy manufacturing and CONNER
cial ccntors. In the early settlement of this
country cmigrants poured over the Allcyhanics
ana bluc Ridge like waters over an obstruct-
Ing ledge. seeking tho fertile and attractive
farm regions of the great West They passed
unobserved these marvellous hidden stores Of
wealth which aronow being brought into use.
having Tiled those great basins of tho
West they arc now turning back to Virginia
and West Virginia and Tennessee to bring

Il am glad to-day to stand for this moment
among you and to express my sympathy with
you rs people. am glad to stand with YOU
