This is the Fourth of July, 1879, and the
l03d anniversary of the signing of the Declaration
of Independence. The revolutionary patriots
who on this day in 1776 pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor, would be amazed
and indignant If they could see the bold and un
warranted assumptions of power on the part of
Presidents in these days. They would doubt
less conclude that their labors and sacrifices for
the sacred cause of freedom were made for a
people unworthy to enjoy the privileges of free
government
