THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
we are passing through a period of
great material prosperity and such a
] period, is as sure as adversely itself to
/ bring muttcrings of dlscontent At a
| time when most men prosper some what
| II always happens that a few men pros
per greatly. and II is as true now as IL
was when the Tower OF Sloan fell upon
all who were under II, that good fortune
does not come only to the just nor bad
! fortune only to the unjust. Wh,n tine
weather is good for crops it is also good
! FOR weeds. Moreover. not only do the
/ wicked flourish when the times are such
that most men flourish, but what is
worse the spirit of envy ana jealousy
and hatred springs up in the breasts Of
those who, though they may be dong
fairly well themselves. yet see others VINO
are no more deserving doing far better.
Wise laws and fearless and upright ad
ministratiou of the laws can give the on
portunity for such prosperity We SEQ
about US. hut this is all that they can
do. Wnen the conditions have been Great
ed which make prosperity possible, then
each individual man must achieve il for
himself, by his thrift. Intelligence, energy,
industry and resolute purpose. If when
people wax fat they kick, as they have
been prone to do since the days of Jes-
hurun, they will speedily destroy their
own prosperity. If they go into wild
have lost that which no Legislation can
supply, and the business world will suffer
in consequence. If in spirit 'of sullen
envy they insist upon pulling down those
who have proftcd most by the years of
fancss, they will bury themselves in the
crash of common disaster. 1t is difficult
to make our material condition better by
tn" best laws, but it is easy enough by
had laws to throw the whole nation into
an abyss of misery.
Nov, the upshot of all this is that it
is peculiarly incumbent upon us in
time of such material well-beinE, both
collectively ~ nation and individually.
each i'm his OWN account to show that
We possess the qualities of prudence, self
knowledge and solf-restraint. In our
government We need above all things
stability. hNity of economic policy, while
remembering that this tiNity must not be
inability to shape our course anew to meet
the shifting needs of the people as these
needs arise. There are real and great
evils in our social ard economic life.
There is every need of striving in all pos
siblc ways. Individually and collectively,
by combinations among ourselves in
private life and through the recognized
organs of government, for the cutting out
of these evils. Only let MS be sure that
we do not use the knife Of the ignorant
zCalOt which would make II more danger
GUS to the patient than to the disease.
