AT a meeting in aid of the Pennsylva-
MIA Branch OF the Frecdman's Union
Commission held in Philadelphia, Nov,

During his opening speech to the large
and select audience, he said:
1t has always seemed to me the part
OF true craftsmanship to connect,as tar as
practicable, the work of the government
with the voluntary action of the people,
and one of the most interesting features
OF this work is the fact is realized in it.
The people throughout the country act
voluntarily in their associations. You
have come here to night as men and wo.
mva inspired in great public work. and
you actin co>operati u W III the govern
ncat in acting in ITS sphere with energy,
efficiency, and trust with the best re-
suits. There Is then, a high "proprrty,
as it seems 10 me, that those of us who
have taken part in this great work IN the
beginning. should conlinu. to take part
in it, ard | see nothing inconsistent in
my relation which any person can hold
to the government with taking an ac-
tive part IN this work, and wish to say
here, and now, once and for all, that

with labor for the poor, the needy aud
the oppressed, that position shall not
hold me. Cheers What are we doing!
We are en,leavoring to carry forward 4
work begun by the government, and
which is not mainly under the charge of

We are endcavoring to carry the bless,

will be the result il this work goes on

Then let us 60 on with this work. Let
us hail everything which aids and ems

which now rerplex the country, The
President of the United States has offer
