We are somewhat surprised that the Union
should thus speak of the distinguished Senator
and statesman of Massachusetts. AS soon would
born in Massachusetts, as blush to hear it said
that in early life he struggled with poverty.
We know he would not blush to hear it.
In 1919, at the annual meeting Of the Norfolk
County Agricultural Fair, we heard Edward
Everett at the dinner-table, in the presence Of
Webster and Mann, Adams and Winthrop, Lin
coin and Pierpont. Gov. Hill and Gov. Briggs.
Gen. Dearborn and host of others, speak of
his early life-of his struggles with poverty
OF his toiling on the old farm. where for two
hundred years his ancestors had lived aud died
of the associations of early lfe--of its pleas

speaking of all these, Edward Everett was NOV

own.
No man in all this land is more eloquent
and able defender of labor of its dignity and of
its honor, than Edward Eyerett.--Ciereland
