But the grand merit of these bigots
was that they could both suffer for con
sciences sake and could learn the les q IL
OF experieI ce. They eyoluted into the
most liberal conditions and hospitable and
enlightened charity for the opinions of
others, not by the clash Of arms, but by
opeE-.nindedness. They were welded To
the church and state, but they separated
the church from the state when they saw

'.Whenevei there has been 4 great crisis
in our history. the actual leaders of beni-
fiCent revolution have been the ever
expanding descendants from the r Iritan
stock. II was 81 erInan, OF the ConnectiSIt
Shernians, OF whom ] am glad to be JB,,.
who Inade the brilliant march to the sea.
IL was Grant, of the Massac husetts Grants,
who was not only thegreat comma nd.r. hut
tie patriot and statesman in the hour or
victory. And il was a Lincoln, OF New
England, Who signed the erna ncipa ton
proclamation.
The rowing pecuia rity OF the Puritan
and his descendants has been the salvation
Of the United States. They have gone
into our new territories and with their
inherited talent as State-buiideTs, they
have erected conmonwealths which now
form the glory of our country. Though
always outniimhered, they have Impressed
their individuality upon the institut ions of
all these States.
The legislation Of hundred years has
been purely internal. We have built
our steauboa t. ding our canals. constr iced
our railroads, strung the wires upon uJr
telegraph poles, for American commerce
between the States, a nj for the Am ,r'Caa
factory and the American farm to sup
port and supplement each other Dur
iirnitiess fesources our exhaustless we4.th
OF coal and iron and wood, our vIst
capa city in gold and silver. and our in
yentive genius, brought about the era OF
over production and exceeding chea puesss.
Our population became restve AMI our
politicians warljke. 1t has been Ihe
device Of kings from time immemOr.aI to
allay popular discomfort and give en-
pIoyment to the Idle, by provoking wars.
That is not the way in which re-
publics should work out their dest stiny
or promote the ha ppiness of the peopIa.
We all saw, III the unrest Of the couI-ry
and in the despair of the unemployed and
OF the peopl Of sna II means and small
business, the raDidly-closing Conditions for
n Change has come almost in nig ut.
That change will make the United States
OF the twentieth century stand for peace.
The widest dreamer OF eren dec1Ge a go
would not have predicted that the products
of our factories and mills could Compete
In their own markets with the man l.
factures of the old world; but the ar
pets Of Yonkers are being sold at Kidder-

down in Liverpool, the great bridge which
IfOlla nj is TO build over one of its inland
seas as captured by an American iron
firm against all European competition as
to price. Though denied the Americans
from ps triotic motives.
The alarm has been sounded hy the
Austrian and German pariiaments by their
farsiShtcd statesmen. Its seen in the ha It Y
legislation of France. Its restil eness is
felt in tie public opinion OF Great Britain.
Or democracy produces 4 skill and arnbi-
tion by which our artisan does more rnG
better work in eight hours than his Ell
ropean coz. .pctitorin len. Our coal andi iroa
are chea per at the factory and at the fur
mace by far than the coal and iron Of tie
old world at their factories and their
furnaces.
Our inventive genius is constantly Z DIV

machine Of today is cast aside at once
by the enterprising Yankee for the better
one OF tomorrow, while his European rival
clings tc the old machine until it is worn
out. Cur cheap transportation, which is
one-quarteI that OF European countri..s.
has annlhlated space. 1t has brought cur
cheaper raw material alongside our i'm
proved methods and our more intellig mt
artisans, and il is carrying the product
to our seaboard ard the markets of the
world.
For the twentieth century the miss:n,l
OF the United States is peace: peace that
it may ca pture the markets OF the world:
peace that it may find the places where
its surplus products, not only of food but |
OF lator, can meet with a profita BILE re-
turn.
Pres itlent Mckinley has struck the |
keynote OF this expa nding policy of our |
and recognized that our mission |
has changed from internal development |
purely to external commerce. in the note |
which le has Sounded so loudly md so |
clearly for pea ce."
