About a week after the return from
Europe of Samuel j rnden, in Septem-
Der. 1871. he delivered an address from
tho steps OF his house at Gramercy
park. An impromptu, spontaneous
gathering OF many of those who had
voted for him for president the year
before was the occasion. Gov Tilden
did not refer to politics. His theme was
the opportunity Of the United States Tor
increasing its foreign markets. lie had
discovered in Europe, lie said, that IL
would be possible to make great mar
ket for indian corn, provided the Amer
lean farmers would only cultivate that
market. He excepted ireland, stating
that In Ireland II would be Impossible
for many years, probably TO overcome
the prejudice against American corn,
because the people Of Ireland attribute
the scourge OF cholera in ls4s to the
use of corn mead sent from the United
states to relieve those who were sun r.
Mig from famine. Gov. Tilden said that
he would not live to see the day when
the American farmers would be found
TO have raised as many as OO0,OOo.OOO
bushels of corn. but he thought that
American farming should be so devel-
oped in the course OF "a generation that
from 1900, 100000 to 1000. 000. 900 bushels
OF corn would be harvested in a single
year. Some OF those who heard Gov.
Tilden's impromptu speech were disap-
pointed. because they hoped that he
would make politics his theme. abiding
