The glory of Tennessee is not alone in the
brill-Gm. II has contributed to history
or the heroic patriotism displayed BY the pee
pie in so many crises OF our National life, but
its industrial wealth, social advancement and
pOpu alton are striking aud significant in
their growth and development. Thirty-fve
thousand settlers in this State in 1890 had in
creased 10 l, l09, 900 in 1890 ana to-day it has
a population closely approxmating 2,O00-
900. Its manufactures, which in 1860 were
small and unimportant, In 1890 had reached
So, ,0O0,000 in value, while its farm products
now aggregate more than $62 900 600 annu-
ally. It's river commerce on three great inter
national waterways, its splendid railways
operating nearly 5000 miles OF road, its min
eral wealth of incalculsble value, form a
splendid augury for the future. lam sure no
better workmen could be found than the peo-
pie OF Tennessee 10 turn these confident prom
ises into grand realities.
Your exposition shows better than any
words OF mine can tell the details OF your
wealth, resources and power of production
You have done wisely in exhib ting these TO
your own people ana your sister Safes, and
no time could be more effective than now
when what the country needs more than all
else is restored conf ience IN itself. This ex-
position demonstrates directly your faith and
purpose and signifies in the widest sense your
true and unfailing belief in the irrepressible
pluck OF the American people and is a promis-
ing indication of American prosperity. The
knowledge which this beautiful exposition
gives will surely stimulate competition,
develop your trade, increase your output, en-
large your fields of employment, extend your
markets and so eventually pay for all it costs,
as well as justify local sentiment and encour-
age State PRIDE.
Men and women ! see about me from all
parts of the country, and thousands more Will
assemble here before the exposiuon is closed.
Let ourselves and let them always remember
that whatever differences about politics may
have existed or still exist We are still Ameri-
cans before we are partisans, and value the
welfare of all the people above party or sec
ton Citizens of different States, we yet love
all the States Th4 lesson of the hour then is
this: That whatever adverse conditions may
temporarily impede the pathway of our M
tlonal progress nothing can permanently de-
feat il.
At the conclusion of the Presidents
