Mr.. Nash led a corps of nine buy
ers east to make purchases of stocks
for the Christmas trade. 1--WE made
immense purchases of Christmas

purchases for spring and in few in

On the whole Mr.. Nash reports
that there is no alarming shortage
Of merchandise and that for the most

Mr.. Nash was in New York during

stunned" he said, when it discovered
the west really amounted to some

Mr.. Tompkins is Woodworking

ment becomes destructive of these
ends it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute
new government, laying it's founda-
ton on such principles and organic
ing its powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to affect
their safety and happiness"
Interest in these propositions used
to be cultivated in various ways, part
ly as a pleasure, partly as duty. To-
day the words are unfamiliar, the flag
itself is infrequently seen, and Lexing-
ton, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Valley
Forge, Trenton, Savannah, Cowpens,
Kings Mountain and Yorktown are
dimly remembered.
Yet we may be sure that of the null
titudes of recent arrivals in the
United States there are many whose
steps have been guided by the ideals,
symbols and names which to US are
vague or forgotten. The valuable
things that young Europe is learning
here are acquired not from young
America, but from old America. The
landmarks of liberty which young
America fails to see or ignores are
still plain enough to the young Eu-
rope transplanted into America.
There are fading emblems in the
case of young Europe also, but they
are of crowns and coronets, thrones
and scepters, divine right and priv
ilege, shackled press and stifled
speech. To those who hunger and
thirst for liberty and opportunity the
old American emblems blaze afar. To
those who are surfeited with liberty
or unappreciative of it they fade and
die.
