William McEniry also made an ad-

last" Those schools, crude as they
were and imperfectly equipped, edu-
Gated the men and women who have
built up our splendid civilization. The
modern school must look well to its
laurels if it is to achieve great results.
One criticism only. The modern
school is extending its course of
study, overlooking 1t, we would say.
The result is many pupils learn a
little OF dozen subjects, and none
of them perfectly. Beware the man
OF one book" says the proverb.
Finally, our religious ideals are be-

From this review we may learn
new patriotism, purer love OF

position among the nations, a more
profound sense of her responsibility,
and brighter review of her future.
Personally, we may congratulate our
selves for having lived amid these

To this period belongs the presiden-
tial campaign of 1876, which was not
decided till the last county" hac eeen
heard from 1--WE for Hayes and four for
Tilden," and the new president was
on his way to Washington, with his
inaugural address written and his
cabinet selected before the result
was officially proclaimed.
Party feeling ran high, but the re-
suit was accepted. In the same way
in 1884 a slight clerical error in com
putting the vote of a single county in
New York would have elected Blaine
in place of Cleveland. But we had
learned we'll the folly of appealing
from the ballot to the bullet and our
institutions are on a more substan-
tial foundation because OF these ex-
periences
In the Spanish-Cuban war we set
new standard of international re-
sponsibility, that We have a duty to
the oppressed through mother lands
and of an alien call. Among the nations
we are as an apostle of civil and
religious liberty and we must be
faithful to our commission. But we
also began a new policy of territorial
expansion, whose wisdom may fairly
be questioned. The development Of
our own country offers ample scope
for ali our energy, and our home prob
lens will tax all our administration
wisdom.
Next in order is what may be called
the era of Capitalization in the shad-
ow of which We today are standing.
The silver question of 1896 was only
one phase of the larger problem, and
does not require a separate para
graph. The rapid increase of wealth,
consequent on improved methods OF
production prepared the way for 81
gantic combinations of capital, and
these compelled formidable organiza-
lions of labor. For 80 years or more
these have been arranged as hostile
forces, and the end is not yet in sight.
In my judgment no settlement will
be satisfactory or enduring that es-
teens the product more highly than
the producer, or which fails to give
him an equai enjoyment of all the
good things created by the common
effort. ! have said that the war be.
tween labor and capital would end
in an alliance between these new
