""State of the Union Addresses"" by Benjamin Harrison is a collection of speeches delivered by the 23rd President of the United States to Congress. The book includes all four of Harrison's State of the Union addresses, which were given between 1889 and 1892. In these speeches, Harrison discusses a wide range of topics, including the economy, foreign relations, immigration, and civil rights. He also addresses issues specific to the time period, such as the expansion of the United States into the western territories and the need for reform in the civil service.Throughout the book, readers can gain insight into Harrison's political views and priorities as president. His speeches reflect his commitment to economic growth and expansion, as well as his belief in the importance of maintaining a strong national defense.Overall, ""State of the Union Addresses"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the presidency of Benjamin Harrison. It provides a firsthand account of the issues and challenges facing the nation during this time period, as well as the strategies and policies proposed by the president to address them.There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life. It is true that the market prices of cotton and wheat have been low. It is one of the unfavorable incidents of agriculture that the farmer can not produce upon orders. He must sow and reap in ignorance of the aggregate production of the year, and is peculiarly subject to the depreciation which follows overproduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
