t.cn their fathers are getting work
The mercantile establishments,
Wholesale and retail, are now busy;
while all the railroads hat were on
the verge of ruin are taxed to their ut
most In carrying the products of the
BARNS to market and Is carrying the
people to and from the busy marts OF
trade. The mills and factories are
summing full blast, while the murmur
al the loom an dthe shuttle, the roar
q the hot breath Of furnaces; the hum
md whir of wheels and spindles, the
muAic of ringing anvils and the Joyous
aongs of hardy sons Of toll, as they
Esther In the grain from the fields, or
no down into the earth to bring Into
Night It's hidden treasures, fill the land
with the music Of free industry.
The doctrines of the republican party
soach the young man courage-courage
% guard the flag with the young arm
and the young hearts blood-courage
Of convictions, and courage to dare and
b. do right and refuse to do wrong.
During the four decades Of it's history
IL has displayed remarkable wisdom In
framing laws, and IN administering the
government wisely. 1t has always
kept our neutrality dignifed and just.
thus involving us in no entangling al
iiances. Its victories Of peace have
been mol ess renowned than those of
war and these have brought about that
superior and truer grandeur as anation
Tat hs lifted this republic to that daz-
zling eminence towards which the eyes
OF all those who sit upon thrones
among the great powers OF the world
are turned as they realize that 1t has
taken its place among them and here
after must be considered and consulted
In their councils.
That party has taught us to demand
nothing wrong and to submit to moth
ing wrong; 1t has made III diplomacy
sagacious, wary and accomplished; it
has passed through the barriers OF
mountains and the Notifications OF har-
bcrs in the island of the two great
oceans and planted the ensign OF the
new republic upon the citadels of ty-
ranny. Truly the republican party has
added to the number OF stars in our
flag and placed them so high and so
grand that, like the stars of Heaven, no
power on earth can pull them down.
II has quickened into life the giant
waters Of all lakes and sea with a
healthy and growing commerce; it
has by its wise and systematic conduct
of domestic affairs quieted the Gle
nents Of dissention within our W
borders; 1t has given work to idle
hands, fed the hungry and educated the
youth of the poor by placing within
their grasp the blessed boon Of the
mantle public school: II has opened
our page Of lettered glory, and 1t has
stimulated American patriotism every
where; II gave to the people the home
stead, preemption and timber claim
law, until now the poorest man that
lives within III domains, with smiling |
face and grateful heart thanks his God
that he Is an American; 1t has always
gfood firm as a rock for law and order
everywhere, yet at Iii times 1t has scat
tered the seeds OF liberty broadcast,
and 1t has ever extended to weary ex-
Hes. fleeing as clouds from realms Of
tyranny and oppression, the asylum of
sur God given liberty; 1t has opened
Me honored page of the industry Of u
people; 1t has indeed dignifed and en-
nobled American labor until now in
mis- republic manhood reigns alone,
and every citizen Is king, an dthe sons
and ~aughters Of these who earn their
dailyl bread by honest toll, know full
we'll that where'so'er our detsiny send
forth
It's widening circles to the South or
North;
v'here'er our banner Hoats beneath the
skies,
Its mimic splendors and its cloud-like
bars,
There shall free labor's hardy children
stand,
The equal sovereigns of a free mans
land.
Truly the republican party has been
the best friend to this republic in the
past. It's sword has always been the
snaAg of oppression and wrong wher-
sver found. On It's bright banner are
immortal, and in its hands
justice and equality Of rights;
and under the magic wand Of these, the
republic has made marvellous progress
In the past and In the future will be the
of mankind.
