of which we give below.
ADDRESS by HON H. HENRY POWERS.
The contrast between the sentiments which
governed the ancient Greek and the American
citizen OF to-day-the former being merely
herO-wOrshlppers,a and recognizing nobility only
in some feat Of personal strength or bravery
and the latter paying tribute solely TO the idea
suggested to the speaker theme which he
announced as WORKERS AND THINKERS
There are two kinds of workers-hand work.
ers and brain workers and both are necessary
TO the great ends and aims Of society. Hand
labor has always been regarded as Of lower
order than brain labor, and the position of the
hand laborer has generally been regarded as q
degraded one, and his rights and privilege,
have been interiered with by governmental
regulations. The great upheavals and change,
which have made up the history of the past
will be found 10 be but the jostlings which the
laboring classes have made against unjust anC
discriminating barriers against their rights
The American Revolution was Of this nature
The expressions Of Great Britain, and its legis
iati0n hostile ~ the labor interests of the colo
nists, provoked resistance, and this was the frs
step in the western world toward the elevation
Of the laboring classes and the emancipation
Of labor.
The speaker deprecated all unfuunded jeal
ousy between hand workers and brain workers
The hitter is justly entitled to higher position
than the former, yet isshould lead TO no degra
dati0n in that Of the former lland-labor mus
elevate itself by educating the intellect Of tbs
n upor, , or ,ho ,ios ,a ,his 'so 'n'
obtains high position in ali places.
