108 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



this afternoon. Perhaps that is, however, the outgrowth of 

 the fact that we are both figuring and talking on economic 

 lines. It is the commercial stand-point that I figure on, and 

 I know he does the same, and in my opinion it is what we 

 all ought to figure on. 



I say I regard myself honored in having an opportunity to 

 speak to an audience of representative men from all parts of 

 this Commonwealth, and, without any words of apology, I 

 wish to say that I do not believe in the whole United States 

 can be gathered together at a meeting of this kind to consider 

 and consult on these subjects such bodies of men as are here. 

 I know we cannot do it in the Empire State. It is with diffi- 

 culty that we can get them together for one day, to say noth- 

 ing of two or three days.
