crisis now upon us as a people, involving
as we believe, the financial liberties of
the sons of those who scaled the slopes
of Bunker Hill, and camped with WASH
ington at Valley Forge, and those whose
sacred duty 1t is to transmit to
us children and to the world the
liberties bought by the blood
of our fathers. I'VE send greeting to our
brethren in the nation, and ask them to
join US in pledging the enforcement OF
the new declaration of independence now
being tested in the arena of American
judgment, and to sound with us the final
charge upon the foes of humanity massed
against us.
