FOR THE NEW FAITH.
How apt to this situation are the words
OF Lincoln In October 1854. Little by lit
tie, but steadily as mans march to the
grave, we have been giving up the old
FOR the new faith. Near eighty years
ago we began by declaring that all men
are created equal; but now. from that be-
ginning, we have run down to the other
declaration that for some men to enslave
others Is sacred right of self-govern-
ment. These principles cannot stand to-
gether. They are as opposite as God and
mammon. and whoever holds to the one
must despise the other"
W., must awaken the country. my
right. God reigns and Justice lives. We
must cry out without ceasing the i'm i'm.
must relight the smouldering beacons OF
liberty We must touch the slumbering
America nism Of the people. %ttt7F
Thus may we restore the action of the
federal government to the principles OF
Washington and Jefferson of Jackson
and of Lincoln.

that is the field Of civil life. Is 1t any
less crime for a man to exercise the

The presidential election of 1896 has
proven to us that 1t requires as much
life to exercise his right of franchise as
his conscience dictates as 1t does of
soldier upon the battle field. The influ-
ences that We're brought to bear then
were far reaching and calculated to affect
every man that could be influenced by
the almighty dollar, or by the threat that
bread and butter would be taken from
the mouth of his family. But | tell you

Jefferson's convictions in the rights Of
the people and no such failure will again

of equality that caused him to want to

While serving his country in France he
studied the conditions of the people I'M

was thereby ripened into conviction
which caused him to devote life work
