constitution. Then, for while, it
seemed as if all that had been
gained by the war might at last be
lost. But the danger was passed.
The constitution was adopted, and
the new nation set out upon it's ca
reer under the leadership Of Wash
ington. The other great crisis was
our Civil War. Then came the
period of Reconstruction and
threatened Reputation. But in
all the national prowess was dis
played, the national honor main.
tanned. In the Scripture promise,
the deliverance from six troubles is
the surety for deliverance from the
seventh.
History shows US the things OF
real Importance upon which we
must lay the emphasis today.
We have learned from the past
to exalt the Union above the sec.
tion. We are one-one nation and
one people. w e are one by all the
memories of the past and one by
all the hopes of the future. W.
are one by the trials and struggles
in which the foundations of our ma
tional structure were laid; one, by
the purpose of God, revealed in the
course of our great rivers anc
mountain ranges, that run north

Duquesne and Pittsburg is the
difference between two civiliza-
tions.
There is not a question before US
today that must not be considered
in the light of history. Tariff and
financial prolems are no new things.
They have been discussed from the
beginning. One policy after an
other has been tried. Experience
might wisely guide. For example:
| do not now speak of the question
Of national expansion as political
issue. l do not speak of methods,
whether by purchase or imperial
ism. | simply say that the history
of our country has been a continu-
Gus expansion from the fringe of
settlements on the edge of the At
lantic, across the continent, and far
out among the islands of the dist
ant seas. While we need all the
light of the present, and while con-
stantly changing circumstances
must always be considered, the past
has its lessons which must not be
ignored. It is not my purpose to-
day to discuss single question be-
fore us from that standpoint. 1t
is not my business so to do.

standing armies; freedom Of the
press and divorce of religion from
the state. Practically the same de-
mands have recently been made in
Belgium. The rising spirit Of de.
mocracy among the nations is large
~ due to the example of America.
In Russia the better part of the
population is in prison and exile
for asking just such privileges as
we possess. Russia has for genera
tions been sowing the wind in ty-
ranny at home and aggression
abroad; today she is reaping the
whirlwind. In the summer of
1876 three hundred political offend
ers in one of the Russian prisons

DR.. Shutter spoke as follows :

DIR. Shutter spoke as follows:
Hon. John Jay, president of the
American History Association, says:
Many of our countrymen have in
dulged the hope if not the belief
that our Republic was destined at
no distant time to rule the world
more widely than Rome in her
proudest days, not by reason of her
continental power, but by example
and far extending influence. If
that dream be destined to fulfill
ment, do not the counsels of our
wise citizens, from Washington and
Jefferson to our martyr presidents
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley, as
sure us that it will be due to the
force of the American idea, taught
to the youth Of the Republic by the
inspiring lessons of American his
tory?'
1t is to some of those lessons |
invite your attention today. Here.
for the first time, the scepter passed
from the hands of the king to the
hands of the people. From the his
tory of this great experiment we
may gather wisdom and courage.
The strains of the old bell that rang
ont the declaration of independence
are still upon the air. awakening
memories that keep the past for
ever alive.
The first lesson our history teach
IS is the debt of gratitude we owe
to the founders of the Republic.
It shows us to whom we are indebt-
ed for the circumstances in which
we live and the blessings we enjoy
today. 1t reveals the foundations
OF our prosperity and glory. We
can not sever ourselves from the
past. We have vital interest in
every page Of our history. Every
man likes to think of himself as
the architect of his own achieve
ments. In very important sense
he is so. But he is indebted to
everyone who went before, to every
statesman and patriot, for the civil
ization which has given him his
field and for the freedom with
which he has used his powers.
Every protest against despotism,
every drop Of blood shed in defense
of human rights, every vote for in
dependence, has been an element in
the grand result. 1t would make a
difference to every one of us if JEFF
ferson had not drawn up his i'm
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-07-08

have all the more abundant reason
for gratitude to the really great
men and pure patriots who shaped
our destinies.
Russia and Germany today are
asking for what we have enjoyed
for scores of years; so long that we
think no more of them than we do
of the sunlight or of the air. The
Social Democrats of Germany among
other things for which they agitate,
are today demanding an extension
Of the suffrage; system of educa-
ton by the state, free and compui-
sorry; relief from the burden of

and south to unite us, and not east
and west to divide us; one, by the
verdict of a hundred battle-felds
where the attempts at separation
lie dead and doomed forever.
North and South are inseparably
bound together. The interests of
one are the interests of both. The
destiny of one is the common des-
tiny. Divisions must be healed,
prejudices must die, fraternity
must triumph.
Necessity of education for the
whole people. Thomas jefferson
said that Ignorance and bigotry,
like other insanities, are incapable
of self-government." The ballot
in the hands of ignorance and de-
pravity is not scepter. 1t is the
torch Of an incendiary. 1t is the
hammer of Thor in the hands of
a blind and crazy giant, dealing
destruction on the right hand and
on the left. Better an absolute
despot, backed by a standing army,
than degraded, vulgar, and tester.
ing democracy or republic. Better
one tyrant than ten thousand.
The dignity Of human nature in all
conditions. Ridpath, in the clos.
ing pages of his history, tells US;
ut is the mission of the United
States to enoble toll and honor the
toiler. In other lands, to labo,
had been considered the lot of serfs
and peasants; to gather the fruits
and consume them in luxury and
war, the business of the great.
Since the medieval times European
society has been organized on the
basis of nobility and a people.
To be a nobleman was to be forever
distinguished from the people; tc
be one Of the people was to be for.
ever debarred from nobility. Thus
has been set on human industry the
stigma of perpetual disgrace.
Something of this has been trans.
mitted to the new civilization Of
the West. Let the odious distinc.
tion perish. It is the genius Of
American institutions in the full.
ness of time to wipe the last op'
probrious stain from the brow oil
toll, and to crown the toiler with
the dignity. luster, and honor of {
full and perfect manhood"
There are two ways in which W.
do this as states: First by the in
PRODUCTION of manual training int
our public schools; and second, BY
the founding Of agricultural col
leges. Thus from the beginning
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-07-08

of antecedent issues, and need to
be studied in the light of their
genealogy.
Thus are we bound up, in
thousand ways, with the past. The
better we understand it, the more
intelligently can we act today; we
have more confidence in our Ship
of State when we can exclaim with
Longfellow:
"We know what master laid thy
keel, What workman wrought thy
ribs of steel. Who made each
/ mast and sail and rope, What an
wills rang, what hammers beat, In
what forge and what a neat
We're shaped the anchors of thy
hope"
Finally, the study of history
teaches US the lesson of hope for
the future. Never to despair of
our country. It cultivates conf
dence in the stability of our ma
ton, in our ability to meet the
shocks of time. To anyone who is
beginning to despair, look back.
History shows US how evils have
been removed. From the supersti-
tions Of witchcraft to the abomina-
lions of slavery, the nation has pur-
ged them away and has not been
destroyed by them. The spoils sys-
tenn has been largely modified.
Nearly 100000 offices have been
transferred from the disgracefu]
political scramble to the basis of
merit. This is a tremendous re-
form. It is full of encouragement.
There is less corruption in the pub.
lie service. 1.-The average loss to
the public treasury during the ad-
ministration Of Van Buren, was
$11.75 on each $1,000 received and
disbursed; during that of Polk,
$4.08; during that of Buchanan,
1881; during that of Lincoln, 76
cents; during that of johnson, 81
cents; during that of Grant, "a
cents; during that Of Arthur, Is
cents; during that of Hayes, 3 Scents;
during that of Cleveland, 2 cents;
while that of the president of today
may make a showing even better
than that Of his predecessors.
There is no evil that aff1icts us to-
day that shall be perpetual. The
achievements Of yesterday are the
promises for tomorrow.
| History shows us how crises have
been passed. The real critical
period, Mr.. Fiske assures us, was
the time between the victory OF
j yorktown and the adoption Of the
