President Mckinley, when he speaks,

nut she'll, as it were. In his recent
speech in Chicago he said: 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. Our
territory is more than four times larg-
er than when the treaty OF peace was
signed in 1888. Our industrial growth
has been even more phenomenal than
that of population or territory Our
wealth, estimated in 1890 at S462, OOO,-
OOO has advanced to $4,000, 600, 900.
Education has not been overlooked.

the youth on whom will rest the future
responsibilities Of the government has

OF the state and the nation.

of pupils enrolled in public schools in
1862 was 4 ,652 1872, or more than 20
per cent. of our population. Is not
this 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 to the creditors or to humanity.
1t will not begin to do either. 1t never
struck blow except for civilization,
and never struck its colors."
