BRIEF TALK AT BELLOWS FALLS.

rain was pouring in torrents. Instead Of
making an address from the car the President
was taken to the opera house, where being in
troduced. he said: II greatly appreciate the
value and importance Of these manufacturing
centers which are now, fortunately for us, not
characteristic of New England alone, but are
found west Of the Ohio and of the Mississippi
ard Of the Missouri. l am one Of those who
believe that in liberalization of pun suits We
make most rapid increase in wealth and attain
best social relations and developments. l
would not introduce politics. do not intend
to cross any lines OF division. but think we all
agree though we may differ as to the means by
which 1t is to be done, that the nearer together
the producer and consumer can he brought the
less waste there is in transportation and the
greater the wealth. We have come to time
In our development as a nation wher. l believe
that interest on money is low enough for us
to turn some Of our accumulated capital from
the railways into steam transportation on the
sea; that the time las come when We shall re-
cover full participation in the carrying trnde
of the world" The train left Bellows Falls
during the hardest shower of the day, but the
rain gradually ceased until just before reaching
Brattleboro, when it stopped altogether.

would lie very restful one to me. Laughter.
He has about as little appreciation OF what rest

Inauguration OF Washington in New York I
spent part of one day the bridge Of the Des-
patch bowling to the fleet in the bay We
moved down to the battery aud the balance of
the day shaking hands at the city hall, attend
ing ball at night, ten hours the next day re-
viewing procession, with a banquet at night,
many hours the next day reviewing the civic
procession, and when they released me from
the stand, about 5 o'clock in the evening. 1
hurried to the Jersey City depot to take train,
scarcely able to stand upon my feet. One OF
the gentlemen of the committee said to me-
well, Mr.. President, hope you have enjoyed
these three days of rest in New York"
