"In YOUR remarks you have alluded to
the struggles of the past; l am glad they
are at an end; it never was pleasure TO
me that they had beginning. The re-
suit has left us a nation to be proud Of
strong at home and respected abroad.
Our Republic has extended beyond the
.Nf I. 20 a.
it has penetrated even the less civilized
parts of the earth, and in my travels
have noticed that foreign nations
appear to respect us more than we re-
spect ourselves. / have noticed the
grandeur at which we have been eStima-
ted by other powers. and their judgments
should give us higher estimate of our
greatness. They recognize that poverty,
as they understand il, is not known with
us, and the men of comparative atiiu
ence with them is sometimes no better
clad nor fed than our paupers. Nowhere
is there better elements of success than
on the Pacific coast. Here, those who
fought on opposite sides during the war
are now fully associated together in 9
country of winch they all have the same
right to be proud"
