THAT was the next question, and

thought of was as to the rights OF man

origin that capital should own labor, and

the war was fought out then, rs the re.

Thank God az you say. II was our
good fortune, my friends, to bear our
part and risk our lives in settling these
great questions. While We live it will
be Joy TO US that We were permitted 10
do Gods work in this matter.

thought must be Que Of gratitude to God
for that part Of our history that was con-

were the results that We then fought for
and that We then achieved, with every

WHEN EUROPE WAS MISTAKEN.
Why, before the war Enrops thought
OF us as feeble Government tina. could
not stand the test Of great trial. We
were not remarkable for wealth; we had
no prestige in that which in Europe il
regarded as the only valuable prestige,
power for war and wealth, the two
things that Europe worships. Before
the war we were not remarkable for
wealth and as for military power we had
it not at all, in their judgment, but as a
result OF the war when it ended where
stood We? With twenty or thirty
thousand millions Of property, and our
property went on until to-day We are in
doubt US to whether it is sixty thousand
million or seventy thousand million,
and We have to await the result OF the
census to know. But in any event we
do know that it is the wealthiest nation
on the globe and Europe bows down 10
our wealth and now respects us for the
almighty dollar not that we care especi-
ally for their respect, for their admir-.
alton, but it is something 10 have as a
result OF the war and the prestige OF
being in population and wealth the
leading nation OF the world. 4.

laughed and scorned the idea tha. this
weak country, unpro vided with military
resources, could put. down secession as
formidable as that was.
AN ISvISCluLE POWER NOW.
"Somo OF the people, many Of the peo
ple abroad were with us in feeling anG
sentiment, but the royalty and tho aris
tocracy and the government casses
everywhere abroad knew and hoped thai
tho bubble Republic was indeed gone
and when the war ended and the battlel
had been fought, and it was found tha
a formidable rebellion with the braves
soldiers supporting it that ever Tough
