nation, we must face pay day and we
must pay either in honest money or in
a lowered standard OF living for all
concerned.
The great declaration that "aIl men
are created free and equal" obviously does
not mean that all men are created equal
in health or strength or character or
ability. 1t does mean that they have
the right to equal opportunity to run
their race with resultant natural inequali-
ty at the finish 1t is the function OF
government to see that the race is fairly
run in accordance with the rules estaD-
lished by the people under their character
of freedom Should the way be closed
to this kind of competition, opportunity,
and with it progress, would cease and the
pace of the sw1ftest would be limited
to that of the slowest. There have been
times in the worlds history when, IN
certain limited areas and situations, civil
lization has been saved through the
surrender of liberty-such cannot be
the case in a country the size of ours.
No centralized power can regiment and
regulate the operations of this vast and
intricate machine. 1t could stop them
and destroy them, but it could not keep
the machinery running to feed and clothe
and educate it's people. Local self-gov-
ernment must continue in this country or
there will be no government at all. The
federal power must be a coordinating and
policing power of limited jurisdiction if
self-government, which is liberty, is to
survive.
If production (the creation OF
wealthy is to continue to maintain
and to improve our standards OF
living, politics must not be substi-
tuted for economics in the manage
ment of business. There is a great
difference between the training,
temperament and experience of the
average busines man and the aver
age politician and, consequently,
between their understanding and
points of view. One may earnestly
hope that each may speedily begin
more fully to understand the prob
lens of the other.
Coming to the immediate purpose OF
this occasion, we pay tribute to one Of
mankind's n0blest servants-the Country
Doctor The country doctor, whose
memory we are here gathered to honor,
happened to have been one who, between
his errands of mercy, and against all
odds, for nearly fifty years kept alive
vision which he finally saw realized
in the drilling of this well. The pessi-
mists try to tell us that this is a de-

NEW YORK, May lO.-Reports of
paint and varnish manufacturers for
the initial months Of 1887 show sub
stantial gains in sales, according to a
new analysis In Poor's Industry and
Investment Surveys Moreover, prices
OF paints, particularly those containing
lead, were advanced by most COM
panies May i, 1887. Thus, the in
dustry outlook is bright, with opera
tions in the three largest customer
1ields-building, automobile and rail-
road equipment-pointing higher.
1T Is reported that construction in
the first three months Of 1897 was
1872 per cent ahead Of the correspond
ing months Of 1885," the report states.
Automobile sales for the first quarter
Of 1887 were the best for that period
since 1929. On April l, class / rail-
roads had about 46,40O new freight
cars on order, the largest number
since April, 1926.
This improvement in business con-
ditions finds reflection in paint, var
nish. lacquer and filler manufacturers
sales. Sales totaled 1881 900 in the
first two months of 1887, as compared
with $43.985.000 in the corresponding
months Of 1886, an increase of more
than SO per cent.
In view of labor unrest, the paint
and varnish industry is fortunate that
labor costs represent a relatively small
percentage Of its total product value.
Increased costs Of such raw materials
as lead, while important, should be
Offset by advanced wholesale and re-
tail prices. Moreover, as the paint
and varnish industry derives q sub
stantial portion Of its business from
the normal repair and repainting of
buildings, it should continue to benefit
from increased consumer purchasing
power even though high building costs
retard greater expansion in new con-
struction"
