and come together for thought, omit to con-
slider the lesson of the hour.
First, then, fellow citizens, let me repeat
to you that We stand on an eminence of I'M
exampled privilege and prosperity. While
Europe makes her home-born and loyal
citizens but tenants at will, and only those
to titles-born lords of the soil, here every
citizen may possess share in the public
domain. This right is not for native-born
alone, but to all nations has the message
gone offering citizenship, homesand share
in the soil. And this, too, upon no pledge
to public service no test of religious or po-
litical faith no demand, save that every
man shall lead a peaceful and industrious
life, and pledge his loyalty to the govern
ment that defends him.
The attendant privileges are also beyond
precedent. To each mans home belongs a
heritage of Improvements and facilities that
have no price in gold.
You have peace. No standing army de-
mands your personal service, or devours
your.substance while defending you. With
your parcel of ground you receive as yours
the great highways of trade, and lines OF
communication.
The great world, with all its diversity Of
nations, separated by great distances and
diverse interests, has been drawn together
by the practical humiliation of time and
distance, into one great body with parts in
terdependent, and throbbing with kin
dred, if not the same pulse. Like nerves,
the electric wire penetrates to the obscurest
hamlet, and like arteries, channels of trade
driven by wind and steam, carry and re-
turn supplies for every necessity and COM
fort. The sudden demand in Europe for
American wheat is felt at your door. And
while the products of your labor are on
their way for others, there are already re-
turning the vessel and train full-freighted
with comforts and luxuries for you, which
