some regions Of the great west q thought that
New York, being largely creditor state, was
disposed to be little hard with the debtor
communities Of the great west, but, my fellow
citizens, narrow views ought not to prevail
with them or with you. and will not in the

past have drifted, and of which we have had in
one OF the great South American countries an

OUR GREAT HARVEST.
"All Of the great staples have yielded to the

before, and it happens that just with this great
surplus in our barns we find scarcity in all

great surplus we shall have after our people

spread smile of gladness over the entire
agricultural population Of our country. Jap

This is our opportunity and cannot see
how 1t shall be possible but that these exports

OF our railroads and of our ships. shall soon
bring back to us the lost gold that We sent to
Europe, and more that We did not lose Jap

greatly enriched. Where there has been COM

come this year plenty, for the gardens have
loaded the table, the orchards cannot bear the
