Lutte greeted the party They were driven

about the platform on which were
seated Mayor Manning, Governor Hill and
the state officers The president received
an ovotion as he approached from the
front Of the platform. Mayor Manning
| then welcomed the president on behalf of
the city after which Governor Hill well
in part: "The citizens of the Empire
state receive you with profound
respect and greet you with the
greatest pleasure on this occasion,
not only because you are the honored chief
magistrate of Tho nation, but because of
their appreciation Of your high character
and eminent public services. They are de-
lighted that you have seen fit 10 honor us
with your presence today. They recall
with interest your many patriotic speeches
during your memorable trip in the south
and west, aud their desire to listen to you
has been intensified. Y
President Harrison replied: "Gover
nor Hill, Mr. Mayor and fellow citizens
| receive with great qualification the very
| cordial expressions which have fallen
fron the lips of his exceIIency the Cover
nor of this great state, and his honor, the
mayor Of this great nun cilaIity.
1t is very gratifying to me.
| You have concentrated here great wealth
and great productive capacity for inCreas-
ed wealth, great financial institutions that
reach out in their influences and effects
over the whole land. The general gov
eminent is charged with certain functions
in which the people have general inter
est. Among these is the duty of providing
for our people money with which its
business transactions are conducted.
! There has sometimes been in some re-
gions of the great west thought that
| New York being largely n creditor state
was disposed to be little hard with the
debtor communities Of the great west
but narrow views ought not to prevail
with them or with you and will not in
the light of friendly discussion The law
of commerce may be setshu ess but the
law of craftsmanship should be broader
and more liberal, ! do not intend to
enter upon any subject that can excite
divisions, but | do believe that the gen
eral government is solemnly charged with
the duty of seeing that the money issued
by ii il always and everywhere maintained
NJ par. believe speak thai which is a
common thought to all when say that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the
general government should always and
everywhere be as good us any other dollar
ann sure we would all shun that condi
ton of things into which many peoples of
the past have drifted and of which we
have bad, in one of the great South Amer
lean countries n recent example, the dis
tressed and hopeless condition into which
ali business enterprises fall whom nation
issues irredcemable or deprecated money.
The necessities of a great war can excuse
that am one of those that believe that
these men from your shops, these farm
ers, remote from money Centers, have the
largest interest of all people in the world
in having dollar that Is worth one hun
dred cents every day in the We II and only
such If by any chance we should fall
into the condition where one
dollar was not so good AS
another, venture the assertion
that The poorer dollar would do its first
errand in paying some poor laborer for
his work. Therefore, in the conduct of
our public affairs f3e pledged for one
that all influences of government should
be ON the side giving the people only good
money and just as much of that rs we can
get. We have this year most abundant
yes, an extraordinary grain crop
President Harrison then referred to the
recent Russian ukase and he scarcity of
grain in France and England, saying that
all this couutry's surplus would find n
ready market abroad, and that not only
would the gold heretofore exported be re.
turned, hut bring with it much more of its
kind. After drawing the conclusion
that Americans should be u happy people
with such prospects in view, he urged
uDon them the necessity for exercising the
> virtue of patience, trugaIity, love Of
, order, and TO crown all great patriotism
aud devotion to the constitution and the
law.
Prolonged applause CREATED the close of
his address, which was renewed as the
