kind, that cannot be produced through
out this fertile belt of country, known
as the Valley of the Mississippi In
more abundance, with greater Ger
tainty and less labor than any country
in the world, and at such remunera-
tive prices, too? Let no one, then,
think of leaving this country to hunt
a better. My word for it, he Will
never find it. Those who, with the.
vain hope of doing so, have some
times wandered away into distant
chimes, sooner or later return satisfied
that, after all, it is the very best of all.
l do not think there Is any country
like it to be found upon the habitable
globe. Let us stick to it, then,
through thick and thin. Let us all,
Young and old, double our energies to
lift it up and place it where it was In
tended By Nature and Natures God it
should stand, in the very front rank
of material greatness. The steps we
| are taking to-day are in that di-
! rection. It is by efforts indi-
vidualIy and collectively that public
spirit is awakened to develop the pro-
ductive resources of the country. We
must aggregate our strength and our
! efforts; we must throw of that spirit
of selfishness, which some how or
| other has more or less possessed all OF
us since the war; we must wake up
to the importance to ourselves and
our children of these high endeavors.
| Do all this, and we will no longer
| have to organize immigration COM
panis and labor schemes, but labor,
and capital and immigration in
abundance will foW into a land like
| this from far and near. Wealth and
pawes will take the place OF poverty
| and weakness. If the country flourish,
| cities will flourish. But none of these
| things will come about without a
practical appreciation of the dignity
and importance of LABOR. We must
4 work ourselves.
These crude thoughts to which |
have given u~tterance in this short adj
dress have, at least, the merit of sin
eerity. | can say Of a truth, that /
! have ever honOred labor, and / teach
my children to honor it. And whilst

PoLIrICs AND THE BIBLE.-In the late
election for West Abcrdecnslire, Scot
land, one of the candidates was Mr.. Nc
Combie, u famous breeder Of cattle. Ills
opponents chose two verses from the
Apocrypha, aud rlacarded them in CON
spicuous places: .-r. ..
''llow can he get wisdom that holdeth
the plow, aud that gloiicth in the gourd;
that driveth oxen and is occupied In their
labOrS, and whose talk is of bullocks
lie giveth his mind 10 make burrows, and
is dlligent To give the kline fodder.
"lle shall not be sought for iu public
counsel, nor sit high il the congregation
he shall not sit on the judges scat, nor
understand the sentence of the Judgment
and shall not be found where parables are
spoken. ."-Ecclesiastcus: xxXviii, 25, SO.
Mr.. McCombie's friends answered this
triumphautly by two verses from the
Canonica! books, and headed them "Not
from the Apocrypha .- ..'
"Scest thou a man diligcnt in his busi-
ness? he shall stand before kings; he shall
not stand before mean men."-Proyerbs

have been bought for song, have cost
