This was gain day for Klmira. 15 was estimated that nfty thousand people were on the fair ground. Governor Cleveland , accompanied by his private secretary and Adjutant General Fan's- worth arrived this morning. At thu govern or's special icquest thcie was no domonstra- tim at that hourasidofromataluto of twenty- line guns by the Cleveland battery. The gov 74 ernor was met at tha depot by Lieut. ( Jiv- 74i i ernor Arnold and a number ot prominent cit Governor Clorulnnd'cominenccil speaking at : it 2:15 : , and spoke from a cairlngi * in front of ManufrHinor'M hull. Ho was introduced by President Pair. Immediately after Cleve land are e , a great cheer went up from 15.000 people assoiublud. His remarks were listened t" with great attention. Ho was interrupted svith frequent cheers. Cleveland spoke as follows : "It iilfords mo great pleasure to meet you here to-day , and to havu an opportunity of in- spectiug the annual exhibition which illus trates the condition of agriculture in our state. 1 regard thohii annual fairs as Hoiuetliim ; con nected with the state government , became to some extent nt least they are foitetod and aid ed by public funds , ami 1 am sure that no good citizen is inclined to complain at the ap. propiialiou of n small pait of the people's money to cncoiirago this important Inloiosl. The fact that this i * done , furnishes distinct lecognitiou by the stale of the Valuable relation which its farmers and farms bear to the prope-ly and welfare of the coimnnuwea'.tli. Wo boast of our manufactures , exceeding as they do , largely - ly , these of auv other state , but our suprem- u-y is clearly shown when wo recall this fact , that in addition to our leading manufactures , the value of our farms nnd their products is second only among the states. There is a lix- odnoFHand reliability in agricultural pursuits which are not always found in other branchci 'f ' Industry. ThoKoil remains in its place ready to be tilled , nnd thu farmer with ruddy health and brawny arnw depends alouo upon the work of hla hands and the aid of kind Providence for his reward. Laboring thus , our farmers nio the most independent of our citizens. They produce or have within their reach all they mv need for their necesnitie.s and comfort. Their cropj may bo more abundant at one harvest I than another ; their products tuny commani higher price ? in the market at one time thai at another ; these conditions may expand o contract their ability to Indulro In luxutier and expenditures not aluoluti'ly needful ; 1m they should never be In want of the necessn rie * or comforts of life , This Is the sun rofiilt of patient nnd well regulated farming When the farmer fniU ho becomes bankrupl nnd wo mnv confidently look for shifllessnc. ! or n too ambitious desire to own nmro land 01 stock than ho can pay for or an intormodlinf , with mutter * tint bear no relation to his fp-m , or Hitch mismanagement and Ignoranca n- demonstrate that lie hns mistaken his veca tinii. Fortunes may bo quickly amassed Ir speculation nnd lott In a day , laming track and producing demoralization mid crime. The tradesman and mnnufacturcr , by the vcUI ! < tndes of trade or through the alluTmouls of n short road to wealth , may In a day bo o\or- como nnd bring disaster nnd ruin upon hun dreds of his neighbors , but in the industrious , intelligent and contented farmer the state finds n s.ifo nnd profitable citi zen , always contributing to its wealth and prosperity. The real value of the farmer to the state and nnlion is not , however , fully appreciated until we consider that he feeds millions of our people who mo engngcd In other pursuits , that the produce of his labor fills the avenues of our conrnerco nnd supplies nn Important factor in our financial relations wilh other nations. 1 have not como to attempt to plcaso you with cheap and fulsome praise , nor to magnify your worth and importuned , but I have corneas the chief executive of the state to psknowlod.io in its behalf that our farmers yield full return for the benefit they receive from the state government. I have come to remind you of the important of the Interests which you have in charge , and to HUgest ? that , not withstanding farm independence , cannot and mint not bonnmindfnlnf Hsvaluoor importance to the Interests ho holds of a just and econom ical government ; his right and his duty to do- innml that all unjust and inequitiblo bur dens upon agriculture and its products , however caused , should be removed , and that whiletZho furtherance of the interests of the str.te have duo regard : this important one should not be neglected. My his labor a * n farmer and in the full performance of his duty as a citizen ho will crcato aud secure to him self his share of the result of his toil , and save anil guard for all the people the most import' ant element in the prosperity of the state , TIDINGS.
