REMARKS OF Mr.. WOLF.
M President, Ladies and Gentlemen: You
have bonored me by asking me to respond to this
toast for their is sentiment that so appeals to
our better Tst1rs than S country A5d know Of
DSs5 thai the ySs
NAL We express, in words that Wllf live, the ad.
mirstion, devotion, love and loyalty we rs Ameri
our adoption-our new home.
First We are not Of those who belIttle every.
thing American; see nothing but black spots,
ity Of European society. On tho Contrary, We
denounce, In words clear and decided, all 1T
tsmpn which have for tneif object the dsEroda.
Second. We protest against the acts OF those
true. We say 90 this band Of FsstI .. idoalists
we are, o. the whole, no worse, and In many os.
BETTFR THAN EUROPEANS.
Third. We are content 70 stay here and do our |
utmost In perpetuating RepublIcan. Democratic |
race, and ifthoSs who constantly carp and eriIi.
else fail 10 see any good In this country, why not
return 70 tbe land where theif Efforts for good |
less.
Fourth. Aside from all faIIingI, and those Incl.
the banner country Of the world. In no part Of
the world can you breathe 90 freely, act 80 out
spoken and do a. much for individual and col.
lective humanity as here. In no country 10
energy 80 intense, labor so we'll remunerated, n-
telligence 50 highly compensated: Our charities
and public Institutions are based on broad, lib
eral and cosmopolitan principles, and We do not
only heed our own cries Tor aid, but American

Perity OF this country cannot be limited either by
detraetion at home or Jealousy from abroad, says,
once and for all, that It's efforts are directed not
only for social pleasure, but are also based on
national patriotic grounds.
Sixth. We therefore hurl back into the teeth
of the vile sianderers, bethey savage Schadeles
that we are panoering 70 low, vile tastes, that
vate trends. We are competent 10 take care of
our own honor, and have as hne instincts as 70
what is right and honorable as those whose in.
come has been made by selling liquor and then
denounce its use, or those who, by its advertise
ment, exc cut living; and it is not Associations
countries, bur slanderers and petty msligners who
distOrt and misconstrue. This country Is safe as
long as the better elements Of our society are
blended together in harmless social epjoyments;
it nears its ruin when men set themselves up as
its defenders who see its politics
ONLY IN GLASS OF BEER
With pride we point our countrymen 10 our re.
cord, and appeal to our citizens as to our status
either as men or as a society. Yes we can bs
proud OF our past as society, as that society rs
proud Of the country in which it has such glorious
privileges. We can, as anation, challenge compar-
ison with the best. The class evolved by our polt-
ical machine are not local. They exist every
where. But the free, untrammeled institutions
our own. They are monuments that have
wthstood the fiery ordeal OF time, OF war, foreign
and domestic, and which viii outliFe not only all
tie potehtates abroad, but every croaker at home
