No one under twenty -,ix years of az"
has any adequate memory of that pro-
longcd horror. the war 1t is the religious
duty OF tho,c who do remember il to tell it To

should pay ~ money for the slaves ~ property
and set them free The North said W. cannot
afford 10 pay Tho south said: We viii not sell
the Saves anyhow But the North did pay in war
expense, 10 purchase the slave, and The south WAS
compelled To give mp slavery. Miylt not the Norlh
better have paid the money and saved the lives uf
JOO.OOO lraV" men. and might not the South better
have sold ont slavery and saved her 300 900 brave
men IN the name Of tlrmllunsui itH victims curse
war. The nations need more of The spirit of treaty
and less of the spirit of war less OF The DiSra,an
