care and protection the government owes to the
hamblest citizen in the land makes the boast of
free institutions glittering delusion aud the
pretended boon Of American citizenship ahame-
less imposition. A Just and sensible revision of
our tartn laws should he made for the relief of
those Of our countrymen who suffer under pres

the support Of all who love that justice and
equality due to American citizenship, of all who
realize that In this justice aud equality our gov

institutions than colossal fortunes unfairly
gathered in the hands Of q few. Of all who ap-
prectate that the forbeaIance and fraternity
among our people who recognize the value Of
every American interest are the surest guaranty
OF our national progress, and of all who desire to
see the products OF American skill and ingenuity
In every market of the world with Q resulting
restoration OF American commerce.
