Washington monument, does not, nor
should not, relieve the people of the
United States from the one assumed by
themselves on the 9TH OF July, 1913,
when the cornerstone Of the present
monument was laid. that they would
tear. in the city of his name. an emblem
of the matchless virtues aud unequaied
patriotism of the Father OF his Country.
The monument then begun has reached
the height Of one hundred and seventy
four feet. at cost of two hundred and
thirty thousand dollars. The appropri.
atioi made by Congress was only in aid
OF the work Of the people; but cannot
complete it. Nor did Congress mean
by his act TO take tho work OF finishing
the monument out of the hands Of tho
people Its design was merely to and
in that patriotic purpose.
