THE LIBERAL PEOPLE.
Many are dolAg their full duty. The

to the mind and conscience. Without such
people the cause never could have been start.

the orphan to tho full extent OF Their pro
norton, and build the credit of Iowa IN tnis

THE lbIABERALE PEoPLR.
II cannot he supposed that any who un-
tl9rstand this subject will entirely withhold
their hand But many persons give too lit
tie. Those who have reaped great advan-
tags in money making from the circum-
stances growing out of the late war, and
now give in small an,ountst q this cause are
ilffbrrafa and ungenerous. They should re
mcmber that the state OF the county which
has made them comfortable and even veal
thy, has brought sadness and poverty 10
many a household, and sorrow and mourn
ing to the hearts Of widows and Orphans
II they now. unjustly withhold from these,
'thcif gold will become corrupt and'their
riches nfotll-esicn." Ii all the people had
been like them this great and good cause
could not have been built APP, and at this
time even, they are not doing their part for
the credit and good name of Iowa in this
particular work. Besides, those who have
received direct favor and benefit from the
government, all who remained at home dur
ing the ewor and by farming or. by trade
have prospered, and are not now willing to
the extent of their ability to help the chill
dren Of the men, who have sacrificed peGnn-
iart tiin, ease and comfort, and life itself
for our country, are narrow minded and sell
fish. They cannot enjoy, with any noble
f(eltngs wlhtxver, tllisfich inher1tahco Of ,
country which has been purchased by the
blood Of the fathers Of these childreu.
