imagine what great pleasure i. Is to run out
O. the rain and mist that have hovered about
our train for an hour or two into the sunshine
and gladness of this welcome which you have

OF historic interest. Every child must hear the
story Of sacrifice and courage Of those who
laid the foundation of this government which
has grown SO much beyond the conceptions
even of the wjsest Of our fathers. am sure
tina: under these influences you must all find
| inspiratio, for good citizenship, and 1T is
pleasant to know that what you rejoice in her has
| left its impress upon the hearts Of our people.
| Far away on the Sacramento as well as upon
| tho beautiful Hudson, men love the flag OF
! Washington. lApplausel L am glad to be
with you g moment today, in passing to the
observances in Vermont of one of those great
| events which led to the independence of our
| country. We have great common interest as
people, and while we divide in the methods by
which we form the national prosperity, l am
| sure we are all devoted in heart to the country
| that has obtained SO much for us-the country
| for which brave mon have died. and for which
brave men will yet die. if occasion should call
| for that sacrifice. In the interest of good gov
eminent We are one. divided sometimes ill the
| method by which it is to be obtaihed. We are
| ccnsecrated in the one purpose that this gov
| eminent shall be administered that all the
! people shall share it its benefits, and that no
favored class shall usurp, its benefits being for
| everybody equally, spreading sunshine in all
| homes and upon all law-abiding people. Again
expressing my pleasure at meeting you, say
/ farewell
| He spoke slowly and in q low tone, so that
! probably those who did not stand close to the
| car did not hear what he said. When he had
| finished there was rush to shake his hand.
| He leaned over the rail and shook the out
stretched hands till the train began TO move A
| lady passed up large bouquet of flowers Men
| ran after the train with hands outstretched for
| the President to grasp, and he entered into the
| spirit Of the occasion and grasped them all in
| turn. railroad man jumped on the bumper
/ of the car while the train gong at con-
| siderable speed, attracted the Presidents at
tention by touching him on the arm and then
held out his hand. Mr.. Harrison shook it
heartily and then went inside.
| THE STOP AT KINGSTON.
Kingston was reached promptly on schedule
time. Here the order of things was reversed.
Several hundred people were present and
| Handwriting began immediately. After shak-
| ing hands with the people for five minutes the
President said:
Perhaps had better spend the moment or
! two that remains In saying word TO all OF
| you than in shaking hands with the few that
can gather about the car You ask for a
| speech. 1t is not very easy to know what one
4 Can talk about Oil such an occasion as this
| Those topics that ere most familiar to me,
because | am brought III daily contact with
them. namely, public affairs. are, in some
measure prohibited to me and must speak.
therefore. only of those things upon which we
all agree, for have doubt that if we're
closely INTERCEPTED some differences would de-
velop In the views OF those assembled here.
That is one of the things that we are proud Of
and that tend to the perpetuity and purity of
our nstitutions-that we are permitted to
differ in our views. to be independent in our
opinions and to be answerable to our con-
sciences and to God only for the convictions
We entertain. l am sure, however, We all re-
joice to know that no cloud If over our horizon;
/ that We are at peace with the world and at
| peace among ourselves. l think the world has
come 10 understand that it is well to be at
peace with US [applausel, and l am sure We
| have come to understand that it is very well to
be at peace among ourselves. lApplause.l
| Our situation Is one OF great favor. We are
| pretty widely separated from those who would
| hurt us, II there are any such. We are secure
i'll our great isolation, and We are secure too,
in our great and patriotic people. Applause. |
| We do not maintain armies; we do not need to
extend the CONSUMPTION list until it takes old
| age and youth. We maintain only the merest
skeleton of an army, but We have already seen
how speedily it may develop into gigantic pro-
| portions and how, i'll few months, it may take
on the discipline that makes 1t the equal Of any
| i'll the world. We have this year u season Of
| unusual productlyeness. Tod has greatly
blessed Us, and it happens that this season Of
our abundance is noe only good for Us, but for
| the world, for again, as many times before. the
natives of Europe, by reason of crop failures,
must look to us to feed their people. We have
! II great surplus and assorted market for it.
As long men have free and equal chance,
| as long the labor of their hands may bring
| the needed supplies into the household as long
| as there are open avenues of hope and advance
ment to the children they love- men are con-
| teuted-they good, loyal American citizens
| lApplause.l And now l thank you again for
your kindness" lCheers.I
