ment and knowledge OF all the people OF

rates will he reduced nearly one-half sooner
or later, and it Is possible for every person
in moderate circumstances to enjoy Its
benefits aid profit by the unparalleled ad-
vantages for enlightenment. Higher civil

sacrifices for the great Exposition.

glory by rich and poor alike. Sons and
daughters of the farm can see the richness
of the tropics, nature in its grendest
beauty; the world of arts, the products OF
