been household words in the republic of the
New World since their ancestors gave their
blood and treasure so freely to secure its il

two republics, which shall last for all time.
Laboulaye responded as follows: The
friendship contracted hundred years ago
between France and America has undergone
no change. In all Americas trials the wishes
of France have been for the maintenance of
the union and prosperity of the great repub-
lie. The statue has been designed a. = visi-
BILE emblem of this sacred friendship. May
the next century awaken the same feeling 10
the breast of our descendants, 80 that they
may celebrate a. well as We have today. a
fraternal union which time will only
strengthen.
