Empire OLate receive you Will plOiouuu
respect and greet you with the greatest
pleasure on this occasion; not only be-
cause you are the honored Chief Magis-
trate Of the Nation, but because OF
their appreciation of your high charac-
ter and eminent public ser7ice. They
are delighted that you have seen
fit to honor us with
your presence to-day. They recall
with interest your many patriotic
speeches during your recent memorable
trip in the South and West, and. their
desire to see and listen to you has been
intensified. l do not intend to longer
postpone the qualification of their
wishes, but shall content myself with
simply saying that in behalf OF the
State of New York tender you cor
dial and sincere welcome"
After thanking the Governor and
Mayor for their kindly welcome Presi-
dent Harrison said in part:
1.-The general government is charged
with certain great functions in which
the people have general interest.
Among these is the duty of providing
for our people the money with which
its business transactions are conducted.
believe that speak that which is
the common thought Of us all when l
say that every dollar, whether paper or
coin issued or stamped by the general
government, should always and every
where be as good as any other. zap
plause.) am sure that we would all
shun that condition OF things into
which many people of the past have
drlfted, and of which we
have had in one OF the
great South American countries
recent example, the distressed and
hopeless condition into which all busi-
ness enterprises fell when nation
issues q deprecated money. The sur
vivors of the recent great war can
excuse that. Now, my fellow-citizens,
we have this year most abundant
yes, extraordinary grain crop. All
of the great staples which for
our people have been yielded to
the labor of the farmer in a
larger measure than ever before. A
leading agricultural paper estimates
that the produce of our farms will be
worth one billion dollars more this year
than ever before, and it happens when
this great surplus in our barns we lind
scarcity In all the countries OF Europe.
I believe this year will spread smile Of
glaSness over the entire country.
Applause. This is our oppor-
tunity, and l cannot see how it
shall be possible but that these exports
of grain now reaching the limit OF the
capacity of our railroads and our ships
shall soon bring back to us the lost gold
we sent to Europe and more that we did
not lose. [Applause. This is only an
illustration of what is going on. As the
result Of it our people must be en-
rched.
We ought, then. this day, to be a
happy people. We ought to be CRATE
| full for these conditions and careful
everywhere to add to them the virtues
| of natience fruGalitv lnva NJ ordaS
| and devotion to the constitution and
tho law, always our rule Of conduct as
citizens" Applausc.
