The PresideBt's Trip.
New YORK, Aug. 18.-President Har-
rison's trip to Bennington, VT, to take
part in the centennial exercises in that
city today, was a continued ovation. At
various points along the route he was
received by delegations, and Mt Ben
nington nothing has been spared to
magnify the occasion.
AT ALBAN
At Albany the president was enthusi.
astically received and an address of well
come presented by Governor Hill. The
president, in replying, said: You have
concentrated here great wealth and
great productive capacity for increased
wealth; great financial institutions that
reuch out IN their influences and affect
our whole land. The general govern
ment is charged with certain great
functions in which the people have a
general interest. Among these is the
duty of providing for our people the
money with which it's business transac-
lions are conducted. There has some
west the thought that New York, being
largely a creditor state, was disposed to
be o little hard with the debtor COM
munities of the great west, but MY
fellow citizens, narrow views ought not
to prevail with them or with you, and
will not, in the light of friendly discus.
sion. The law of commerce may be
seltisbness, but the law of statesman
ship should be broader aud more lib
eral. [Applause.] 1 do not intend to
enter upon any subject that can excite
division, but 1 do believe that the gen.
eral government is solemnly charged
with the duty of seeing that the money
issued by it Is always and everywhere
maintained. Applause. 1 believe
that l speak that which is tile common
Thought of us all when l say that every
dollar, whether paper or coin, issued or
stamped by the general government,
should always and everywhere be as
good as any other dollar. Applause,
l am sure that we would all shun that
condition OF things into which many
HAVE DR1FTED
and of which we have had in one of the
great South American countries a recent
example of the distressed and hopeless
condition into which all business enter
prises fall when the nation issues an il
redeemable or deprecated money. 1
am one Of those that believe that these
men from your shops, aud these farmers
remote from money centres, have the
largest interest Of all people IN the
world in having a dollar that is worth
one hundred cents every day IN the year
and only such. Applause. If by any
chance we should fall into u condition
where one dollar is not as good as an.
other, l venture the assertion that that
poor dollar will find it's first errand in
on~,,- ~, .ooor 1ohorar fcr hjc vorG
Therefore in the condnct Of u public
affairs
FEEL
for one, that the influence of the govern
ment should be ON the side giving to the
people only good money and just as
much of that kind as we can get.
Now, my fellow citizens,
We have this yenf a most abundant; yes,
an extraordinary grain crop. All Of 1.-THE
great staples which feed u people
have been yielded to the labor of the
farmer in larger measure than ever be-
fore. A leading agricultural paper esti-
mated that the product Of u farms
will be worth 81, 900. 600, 900 more
Just with this great surplus IN barns,

Europe. Russia has recently prohibited
tho export of rye because she needs her
crop to feed her own people. Demands
in france and England and Germany :.
WILL ABSORB EVERY BUsHEL
of the great surplus we shall have after
our people are fed; and whatever COM
plants there may have been in the past,
I believe this year will spread g1adness
over the entire country. Applause.
This is our opprtunity, and / cannot
see how it shall be possible but that
these exports of gram, now reaching
the limit of capacity of u railroads
and our ships, shall soon bring back to
us the gold We sent to Europe, and
more that we did not lose. l was told
by an officer of the West Shore road to-
oav that that road alone was carrying
1CO, 900 bushels of wheat every day into
New York, and that it scarcely stopped
an hour in the elevator, but was run
into the bottom OF the steam vessel
that was
TO CARRY IT ABROAD.
This is only an illustration of what is
going on and as q result of it u people
must be greatly enriched. Where there
has been complaint, where there has
heen poverty there comes this plenti-
full crop. Our orchards cannot bear the
burdens that hang upon the limbs, and
our g~ranaries are not equal to the pro-
duct of our fields. We ought then this
day to be . happy people. We ought to
b. grateful for these conditions, and be-
careful everywhere to add to sthem the
virtues of patience, frugality, love and
order, and to crown all with great
patriotism, and make devotion to con
stitution and law always our rule of con-
duct rs citizens. [Applause.]
