BY your valor," as our martyred
President Lincoln once said, you gave
us new birth OF freedom. @As good
citizens we must now unite in per-
petuating that freedom. The laws of
this country must be-. enforced If we
are to do this There can be no true
freedom~if any man or body of men is
permitted to try and prohibit another
man from working where he will, as
many hours as. he wants to, and for
the wages he is willing to work for.
There can be no true freedom if any
man or set of men is to be permitted
to form monopolies to deprive the
citizens of this land of the common
necessities of life. Great aggregations
of wealth and capital are necessary to
build railroads, to. carry on vast manu-

the enormous business affairs of the

payment of oppressive taxes, because of
this patriotism. The government belongs
