Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1886-07-06

| The cannon's roar, the clash oi
arms, the chargers neigh, and the
shout of victory ushered in her
birth. Her name. here it ye ma.
tions; treasure it ye people of the
earth; preserve it, oh, We Americans
Liberty; precious Goddess of the
people! As this day dawned, an
Empire at the East turned to the
sun and woke strain sublime to
thee, and with the hours progress
sing that mighty pean comes, till
its echoes are heard over thous-
and leagues, and in full accord
sixty million hearts are stirred to
swell the deep acclaim!
| Around and about Thee has
grown the civilization Of the West,
having for its corner stone, "a
Government of the people" Its
principles are eclectic, its basis is
Christianity, its bulwarks are free
thought, free speech and free
schools.
This civilization Of the West is
b.iDg waited across the troubled
waters of the Atlantic until today
We find the idea upon which our
Government is founded marching
t. the front in that r-oud empire
o. whose possessions the sun never
sets There be those living with
in the hearing of my voice who
will see this new civilization doml-
nant in Great Britain. the center of
thought aud learning on the Euro
pean Continent, and may We not
indulge the Ethiopian prophecy that
from her seats of learning and
from her ports of commerce will go
forth such an influence for good
that all the civilized nations of the
Old World, while preserving their
nationality, will compose vast
Government by the people for the
people
This liberty is the fruit of asso-
ciation-the united effort of a great
people comb ned to accomplish a
mighty end. If men today are
freer than they once were, why is
this so? Not alone by our brave
heros toll or trials, or triumphs
have our liberties been won. Poets
sang to win this; artists painted to
win this; historians wrote to win
this; martyr patriots fought and
blcd to win this. Washington, the
soldier, and Payne. the author,
Grant, the soldier, and Lincoln the
statesman, yielded their sweat of
brains and heart to water the i'm
mortal seeds of the tree of liberty,
beneath whose ample shadows We
find sanctuary today. and in our
own day and generation these liber-
ties are being preserved from the
assaults of aggregated wealth aud |
capital by the association and com
bination of labor and trades unions |
made up of the bone, brains, muscle |
aud sinew of the land, and SO long
as an intelligence born of our com
mon school system, and a faith, the
product of our liberty. directs these
associations in their deliberations
and their acts no one need fear but
out of them shall spring purer
and better patriotism and great
er love for home and country.
