Brothers of the National alliance:
The industries Of Il country may be con-
sidcred in two departments. Those
that consist principally OF manual labor
or that occupation which may be sue
cessfully followed with bu: little system
attic thought. and those which depend
for success chiefly on systematic and
continued mental training. 1t is true
that the best and nublcst type Of NAH
hood and wOmanhood consists III i Judi
ciouS combination Of these qualities.
And the mental giant who towers above
his fellows by his strength uI mind, his
clcarnrSs of logic or flights of genius, il
he does not turn these qualifications 10
some practicn! use. is no more To be
commended than the stupid Drained,
hard-musrled athlete who. though an
adept in the sporting arts Of his class,
has little more sens" than the brutcs
whose strength and agility he emulattS.
TIM actual worth of industry OF labor
may be measured by the actual pruduc-
tiou of the nrce>saricS or com
forts of life which it brings forth.
