Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-09-26

share of labor and toll, forgetting that such is
the result of Gods command, and for time
many were tempted with longings to possess
| that which. they had not earned by labor
But time and truth ultimately lay all things
bare. After all, it is shown how futile all
such schemes and experiments are, and we
find ourselves brought back to appreciation
of the first great principles OF political econ
omy, and we are more firmly impressed with
the fact that the safety of the country rests
upon the success of the honest labors Of the
holders of the plough My friend who pre-
coded me has told you of the majesty of this
great country, and pointed out to you its
many advantages over other lands. He might
have told you also how we won our progress
and gained our great numbers, wealth, and
prosperity. We think better of our country
| than all the others because we should do SO.
This comes from no narrow or selfish feeling,
for we gladly welcome men of all countries to
enjoy with US the fruits of industry to be
found upon our fertile plains. When he felt
the superiority of our country, he probably
felt as [ did when in conversation with a dis
tinguished Englishman, a peer of the relm,
who had occupied high positions, and he in
quired, Don't you think you made a mistake
when you separated from Great Britain?
| say he was serious and respectful, but
could not help replying, We'll on the whole
| think We are sorry We let you go, Laugh
ter and applause] You may be surprised at
the answer, but in the history of the world
there has been no such natural increase of
population as ours-1 100000 every year,
over 5000 every day, and more that 100
every hour. Nor is this all. We are waging
but in different way. Ours is peacable
struggle, but We are taking year after year
over 300, 900 prisoners to give US new wealth,
new life, new blood and new strength. No
other people on the globe have taken advan-
tage of machinery in all branches of labor as
we have, All our people are ingenious and
expert AS Mr.. Conkling well said, one of
the greatest questions to be solved is-can we
send across the broad Atlantic, and put down
in the docks of European ports the products
of our soil as cheaply as they can be put there
by other countries nearer by. In coming
years we will make still greater advances;
we have done much by the use of machinery,
and we have done well in agricultural pur-
suits. When 1 talk to foreigner of our
superiority, tell him to 60 to the sales
rooms at Utica, Little Falls, or Watertown,
and see how the buying and selling of butter,
cheese and other products are conducted,
based upon the rates of Gold in Europe as
marked on the blackboard. Do you ever
think of the great value Of agriculture in this
as compared with that of the other |
countriesl Go to Englrnd and consider that |
Great Britain is forced to consume all the |
products of her soil in feeding her own people. |
In England they bring crops from one country,
beef from second, and other things from
third. Here the beef we eat has made
greater journeys than many of US hope to
make before it reaches US; our -four comes
rom great distance This great country is
outstripping all the others in the world in its
product. While in Chicago 1 discovered that
IN immense business has grown from prepar-
ng calves tongues and pigs feet for
European markets. They are better able to
10 that in the West than we are on account
he greater abundance of their supply. In
xpressing my surprise at this to banker, he
aid, why, sir, I can tell you something
more strange than that. One of my custom
rs produced large draft upon certain quar- {
er, when l asked him how that happened, he
aid, That is for the blood 1 SELL The r
