if they owned the EARTH and 1 replied:
They do not own the earth, but they do own
this country" The real growth OF the
United States dated from the war. OIner ma
tions were then able to place confidence IN
the government of this country. The Union
was absolutely. essential, as, if to-day the
country were divided into fifteen small
independent governments; nothing but
