 ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 1S.-The special train bearing President Harrison and party arrived in this city at 5:50 this afternoon. After being introduced to the large gather ing in graceful speech by Governor Hill the president spoke in part as follows:
 The general government is charged with certain great general functions in which the people take a general interest. Among these is the duty of providing for our peo- pie money with which business transac- tions are conducted. There has sometimes been in some regions of the great west a thought that New York being largely a creditor state was supposed to be little hard with the creditor communities of the great west; but, my fellow citizens narrow view ought not to prevail with them or with you, and would not in the light of friendly discussion. The law of commerce may be selfshness, but the law of states manship should be broarder and more liberal. [Applause.]
 do not intend to enter upon any sub- ject that can excite division, but do be- lieve that the general government is sol emnly charged with the duty of seeing that the money issued by it is always and everywhere maintained at par. [Ap, plause.
 I believe that speak that which is the common thought of us all when 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.
 am sure that we would all shun that condition of things into which many peo ples of the past have drifted and of which we have had in one of the great Soutt American countries 8 recent example, the distressed and hopeless condition int which all enterprises fall when @ nation is sues an irredeemable or depreciated money The necessities of @ great war can excus, that. am one of those that believe tha these men from your shops, these farmer remote from money centers have the larg est interest of all people in the world il having dollar that is worth 100 cent every day in the year, and only such
 If by any chance we should fall into condition where one dollar is not so gooS as another I venture the assertion tha that poorer dollar will do its first errant in paying some poor laborer for his work Therefor in the conduct of our public af fairs, feel pledged for one that all the in huences of the government should be ol the side of giving the people only goot money and just as much of that kind a we can get. [Applausel.
 Now my fellow citizens we have this yea most abundant yes extraordinary graf, crop. All of the great staples which fo our people have been yielded to the labo of the farmer in larger measure thar ever before. A leadeng agricultural pape estimated that the produce of our farm will be worth one billion dollars more thi year than ever before and it happens ths just with this great surplus in our barn we find scarcuty in all the countries o Europe. Russia has recently prohibite the export of rye because she needs he crop to feed her own people. The demand in France and in England and German will absorb every bushel of the great su, plus and we shall have after our peopl are feed and whatever complaints the1 :! have been in the past I believe this yea will spread smile of gladness over th } entire agricultural population of our cour try. [Applause.]
 This is our opportunity, and cannc
 see how it shall be possible but that thei
 exports of grain, now reaching the limit l | the capacity of our railroads and of or z ships, shall soon bring back to us the lo a gold we sent to Europe and more that V
 did not lose. (Applause.l
 It was told by an officer of the We
 Shore road to-day that that road alone W,
 carrying 100, 900 bushels of wheat evel l day into New York and that it ecarce 8 stopped an hour in the elevator, but VI
