Il cannot omit here to make quota
ton from Mr.. Lincoln, written to the
young men Of Illinois on June 2, 1s4s.
Lincoln said: Now. as to the young
men. You must not wait to be brought
forward by older men. You must
together form rough and ready club,
and have regular meetings and speeches.
Take in everybody. gather up all tho
shrewd. wild boys about town, whether
just of age or little under age. Let
every one play the part he can play
best. Some speak, some sing, all holler.
(Great laughter) Older men and wom-
en- will go to hear you. 1t will not only
contribute to the election of the old
stock, but 1t will be an interesting pas
time and improving to your intellectual
faculties. Do not fail to do this (Grcat
applause.)
II commend these homely words to
young men. Such organization will not
only inspire young men, but will cheer
the hearts of the old guard of the Repub-
lican party. Great applause.)
"It is seldom given to the first voter
in this country to start in SO important
a nationa! contest, where SO much is
involved and where so many interests
are at stake. 1t Is a year, too, when old
party divisions count for little, when
men Of all parties are united in COM
mon object, to save the country from
dishonor and it's currency from degra-
dalton. 1t is always safe to range your
selves on the side of your country. Gap
] ause.) 1t is always wise to stand
against lawlessness and reputation. 1t
is always patriotic to stand against
those who oppose law and order and who
would raise artificial barriers between
classes or sections. congratulate you
upon your glorious opportunities and
your appreciation of those opportuni-
ties. 1 am sure yu will use them for the
welfare Of the people and the glory of
your country.
Il ventured to say several weeks ago
it would be better to open the mills than
to open the minis. I see some Of our adj
versaries criticise the statement, say
ing, 1t is putting the cart before the
horse" They seem to think the way to
open wooden mills, for example, is to start
a yard stick factory. (Great laughter and
applause.) They forget that you must
make cloth before you can measure it,
and that the weaver must be employed
before the yard stick is required. Gap
plause.) But they say the yard stick is
too long. / answer, If you make the
yard stick nineteen inches instead of
thirty-six inches, its present length, you
do not increase the output of cloth or its
value, or give an additional days labor
to American weavers."
Nor will 52-cent dflars increase our
Industrial enterprises, add to the ac-
tual earnings of anybody or enhance the
real value Of anything. (Applause).
1t will wrong labor, wreck values, and
has done so wherever it has been used.
More cloth might require more yard
sticks. Naughter). But more yard
sticks or shorter yardsticks, will not
create a demand for more cloth. Gre
newed laughter and cries Of "Good').
Nor will short dollars from wide open
mints free to all the world, increase our
factories. (Applause) More factories
at work will find work. Of the dollars
now In their hiding places and find
employment for men now idle at their
homes. tremendous applause). In
dustry must come first. Labor precedes
all else. 1t is the foundation Of wealth,
1t is the creator of all wealth. Gap
plause). Its active employment puts
money in circulationpand sends =, cours-
ing through every artery of trade. (Great
applause). MINIS do not distribute 1t
that way (Cries of you bet they
don't').
Start factories full blast and money
will flow from bank and vault. The
lender will seek the borrower, not as now
the borrower the lender. Great cheer
ing). Start factories, put American
machinery in operation and there will
not be an idle man in the country who
is willing and able to work; there will
not be an American home where hunger
and want do not disappear at once.
Great applause). And there will not
be farmer who will not be cheered and
benefited by his improved home mar
kets and by better, steadier prices for
his products. (Renewed applause).
Credits will take the place Of debts. The
wasted earnings of the poor will be re-
stored. A surplus will take the place
of the deficiency in the public treasury.
(Cries of That's rightly. Plenty of
prosperity will return to us again. and do
not forget, men and women of Wood
county. that you cannot coin prosper
ity. (Great cheering). You can not re-
vive industries through the mints.
Great applause and cries of That's
rightly. They come through labor, con-
fidence. skill. enterprise, honesty and
they can come no other way. (Great
applause).
