dress my fellow citizens under
many diverse and some very
peculiar circumstances. but think
these that surround me this morning
are absolute unique. | understood that

arranged for day of pleasure here at
this horse fair and that more attrac-
tive entertainment was to be provided
for you and for me than Speechmaklng.

this some allowance will be made for a
heavy track, and if the horses are en-
titled to it L think l may claim an allow

reception and to express my interest in
this great industry which is represented
here-the breeding of horses.

sit is pleasant to be here to-day at the
| home of my esteemed friend and your
| fellow-tOwnsman, Hon. William Evarts.
l am glad that he has introduced into
Vermont model farming, and has shown
you What the income of large city law
practice can do in the fertilization of a
| farm. He has assured me to-day that
his farm yields net income. L
accept the statement of my
host with absolute faith, and
yet Mr.. EvartS' reputation as a
| bookkeeper is not the best in the world.
| 1t is pleasant to see him and to be for a
while in his genial presence and to
! have this journey Illuminated by visit
to his home. l hope he may dwell long
| with you in peace and honor, as he will
always dwell in the honor and esteem
of our whole people. D." Leaving the hall

portance of these manufacturing CEN
tiers, which are now, fortunately for us,
not characteristic of New England
alone, but are found west of the Ohio
and of the Mississippi and of
| the Missouri. l am one of those
who believe that in Investigation of
pursuits we make most rapid increase
in wealth and attain best social rela-
lions and development. / would not in
trOduce politics. | do not intend TO
cross any lines of division, but | think
we oil agree, though we may differ as
to the means by which it is to be done,
that the nearer together the producer
and consumer can be brought the
less waste there is in trans
portation and the greater the wealth.
We have come to time in our develop
ment as Nation when l believe that
interest on money is low enough for US
to turn some of our accumulated CAPT.
tai from the railways into steam trans
portation on the sea; that the time has
come when we shall recover full par
tIcipation in the carrying trade of the
world"
