sending any courier In advance 20 ask whether
there were enough people here FOR him 10
speak 20. lCheCrs,
Il notice in the audience here to-day, with
great satisfaction, the presence OF many OF our
older fellow citizens. The old men are fond OF
talking OF the good old times, but the times
To which they look back with SO much delight
nre gloriaed IN the fact that the processes OF
nature and OF Providence have covered the
things that were hard ana brought out In the
memory those things that were sweet and
mind we're not good old times but very young
good times Iappausel young that only the
unweaned babes have no memory OF them.
ONLY two years ago this country was not only
the most prosperous country Ia the worldwior
that IL had been bcforc-but II stood upon the
highest pinnacle Of prosperity that u had ever
I before attained. lChccrS. This Is not the
verdict OF politicians. 10 IS the verdict OF the
commercial reporter IL Is the expressed opin-
ion or those men who make profession OF
study o. the question.
Disaster In the Last Two Years.
The last two years have been years Of dis
i tress and disaster. The losses OF them defy
the skill OF the calculator IL has been said
and think not without reason, that they ex-
! coed the cost OF the great civil war. These
| LOSSES have not been class losses they have
/ been distributed The holder of stocks and
\ bonds has found his wealth shrinking and 80
\ has the farmer. and the worldngman has
/ found his wages shrinking, There has been a
4 general participation ~ tho calamities OF the
/ past two years, as there was ngcncral partici-
patton IA the prosperity IN the preceding years

we feel that it was adequately compensated
\ for I'M the added glory that was given 20 the
