The American people have special cause for
rejoicing and thanksgiving, because of tho
prosperity which has come to them during
the current year. The American name and
American character have been better appreci-
ated by the nations of the world during 1897
than during any other year in the history of
our country. We owe 90 the Ruler of the
universe cordial Thanksgiving for His un-
faltering favor to us as nation

even though the existing limited prosperity
adverse industrial conditions in foreign lands
This country, however, is menaced by the
steady and ever aceelera1ng trend in the
trated wealth. The one is buttressed upon a
growing distrust of the capacity of the peo-
pie for self-government. The other, however
we may differ as TO causes, is remorselessly
adding TO the accumulations of those already
rich. while piiing up additional burdens upon
those already poor. Still it is well to give
thanks 1t might be worse.

The Saint Paul globe., 1897-11-21

think the people of the United States
have especial cause for giving thanks in 1897
for beautiful crops. unusual prices for all
farm products. larger demand for labor.
which constantly calls men from idleness to
industry. and fer an honest dollar with which
to transact business. J. A. T. HULL.

Governor of Mississippi

For the fruition of this year the nation has
certainly great reason for thankfulness to AL
mighty God.
To me- however there appears greater cause
for thanksgiving in the fact that the people
of our country are waking up to a sense of
their duty and responsibility in the mainte-
nance of their rights as men and citizens In
startling contrast to the benefcence of God is
the selfshness of mana sefshness which is
at the base of all civic evil Individual greed
makes national calamities. The highest duty
of citizenship today is TO fight to the finish
financial systems which increase the power
and wealth OF the few at the expense of the
many. For this day of thanksgiving the
world is waiting.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-11-21

I think we have cause for thanksgiving
every year. Gods mercies and blessings so
cons tartly attend us. and in such prOfuse
abundance as compared with our merits that
there is not a moment of our lives but that
we have great cause to thank Him.

We have. great cause to be thankful for
a bountiful harvest, good prices and a gen.
orally prosperous condition of affairs

think that the dear Lord has blessed
this republic wonderfully from the landing
Of the pilgrims to now. and that thank-offer-
ings have always been His due; but especial
ly this year should We make grateful sac

relief to agriculture, announcement to manu-

in wages, and prosperity to the peop:e.

1t seems to me that the basis for general
thanksgiving throughout this country might
he summarized as follows: Peace at home
and abroad, good health, bountiful harvesJs;
good prices, good order, respect for law and
the enjoyment of the best government yet

thanksgiving. ~ o,.-rr,n

believe the people of Iowa and of the West
generally, have reason to be thankful be-
cause of the relief afforded them by the ad-
vance in grain and the general toning up of
the business OF the country. Our railroads,
as well as our farmers and business men of
all classes. feel the stimulus caused by the
moving of our corn, which has been cribbed
for several years. We have much reason to
be thankful for the present and hopeful for
the lture. JOHN MACNICAR,
Mayor of Des Moines
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-11-21

I think we always have much to be thank
full for, if We could only appreciate Gods
purposes and our unworthiness. The past
year In Delaware. as in most of our agri-
cultural states. has brought US good crops
and foreign demand, due to small yields OF
cereals in lands usually productive; has
brought prices which are very gratifying,
and. while it would be very selfish in us to
offer thanks for the temporary prosperity
which we enjoy because of the distress of our
fellow men, yet we should be thankful that
we are spared from famine, pestilence and
want, and that our lot is cast in the midst
of peace and plenty.
EDE w. TUNNELL,
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-11-21

All classes of citizens have cause to be
thankful. not only that the agricultural por-
abundant crops, which have been sold at
remunerative prices, but that the govern

OF course it is friendly contest" We
chose the word in preference To "com-
petition" Still the idea of our friends,
the ministers, engaging in contest"
might be improved on-for it surely isn't
designed TO set up pulpit against pulpit
