Our wealth, estimated in 1900 at $780,
100000, has advanced to $50, 900 000, 900.
Education has not been overlooked. The
mental and moral equipment of the
youth upon whom will, in the future,
resi- the responsibilities Of government,
have had the unceasing and generous
care OF the State and the nation. We
expended in 1S9T-9S in public educa-
ton, open to ALL $500, 115,54S for sec
ondary education, S23,474,6 and for
higher education for the same period
S30.307,902. The number OF pupils en-
rolled in public schools in 1862 was
1i,652,f92, or more than 20 per cent of
our population. Is this not a pillar of
strength to the Republic?
our national credit, often tried, has
been ever upheld. 1t has no superior
and no stain. The United States has
never repudiated national obligation,
either 10 its creditors or to humanity.
1t Will not now begin to do either. 1t

ton, and never struck its colorS.
a GREAT NATION.
'Thc Republic is sturdier and strong
err than ever before. Government by
dom under the flag is more universal
than when the Union was formed. Our
steps have been forward not back
ward. From Plymouth Rock to the
Philippines, the grand triumphant
march of human liberty has never
paused Fraternity and union are
deeply imbedded in the hearts Of the
American people. For half century
before the Civil war the union was the
fear of men Of all sections. That
word has gone out of the American vo>
cabulary. 1t is spoken now only as q
historical memory. North. South, East
and West were never so welded to-
gether and while they may differ about
internal politics, they are all for the
Union and the maintenance of the in
tcgrity of the flag.
Has patriotism died out in the hearts
of the people? Witness the 100000 men
springing to arms and in thirty days
organized into regiments for the Span
ish war. and q million more ready to
respond: and the more recent enlist
ment OF 10000 men, with many other
thousands anxious to enlist. but whose
services were not needed. Has Ameri-s

ovation. Welcoming addresses were
delivered by Congressman Prince and
Senator Cullom.
The president said in substance:
The time and place make this meet
ing memorable. Forty-One years ago
on this spot two mighty leaders, rep
resenting opposing ideas, contended
for mastery before the tribune of the
people. Lincoln and Douglas are in
separabiy connected in the public
mind. Their association began in
conflict and ended in cooperation.
One asserted the right of slavery un-
der certain conditions to enter the
territories, the other disputed that
right under any conditions. Bat both
agreed that the slave power should not
divide the union. Only three years
interviewed and the debate was re-
moved from the arena of peaceful
discussion to that of war and carnage.
The position of Douglas at this criti-
cal iuncture was that of a patriot.
