barns and as you sit by the freside, that
In spite of all the hardsh1ps of the times
those firesides are the happiest and best in
the world. Put in your time thinking. We
will get right on all these public questions
Il your people will think. 1t is prejudice;
It is the fact that men do not think, but
: allow their minds to be warped by pref
adice, allow catch-phrases and denunciations
IF other men to warp them from a calm
consideration of public questions. Let us

tens now as when you were soldiers DUR

perity shall be first in our affections and
