HAVE REASON TO BE PROUD
Achievements Of the American Peoplc
Afford View Of Unbroken
Line Of Progress.

During the past 95 years 100000
miles Of railroads have been built,
requiring an expenditure Of not less
than $2o0,ooo,ooo for labor and
material. We are both producers
and consumers. While our popula-
ton is only a little over five per
cent. of the population of the world,
we produce 20 per cent. Of the wheat,
40 per cent. of the iron and steel, 55
per cent. of the copper, 70 per cent.
Of the cotton and so per cent. Of the
corn Of the world. Furthermore,
with inconceivable rapidity, machin-
cry has taken the place Of human
toll, and incidentally millions OF
slaves have been set free. The same
triumphant progress has unvarying-
ly characterized every phase Of hu-
man endeavor on the American con-
tinent. Civil and religious liberty
Is a natural condition as well as an
attitude Of mind. The story Of agri-
culture, of manufacturing, of min
ing, of the arts and sciences, demon
strates the unbroken progress and
uplift Of the whole people. Finally,

ing masses have become, with con,
stantly increasing earnestness of en-,

purpose Of the nation. And above
all, the democratic idea, through
good and evil report, has encour'

ter of the individual citizen. 1t ha!
always believed that competition
which encourages skill should re
