all here and say we are not here with

The laborer should be able to secure to
himself decent home, sufficient food,
an opportunity to secure proper recrea-

nation rich, but to maintain body OF
intelligent, respectable, honorable citi-
gems, who will love their country and
command for themselves the respect OF
the world. An honorable. high-minded
people is the proper fruitags Of Ameri-
can principles. If o nation is to be
built up on o mere foundation Of wealth
