THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

say can you sec liy tlic dawn's early light, W'liat EO proudly WO Uailud at tho twilight's last gleaming "Wlioso broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous light, O'er the ramparts wo watched, while so gallently streaming And. the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through tho night that our flag was still there. Chorus—

Bay does that star-spangled banner yet wnvo O'er iho land ol' the l'ree and tho home of tho brave.

On tho shore dimly seen, through the mists of tho deep, Where the toe's haughty host in dread silenco reposesWhat Is that which tho breeze o'er the tower-

Hteop,

Aa it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses Now It catches the gleam of tho morning's first beam la full ginry reflected, now shines in the stream. Chorus— 'Tis tlAs star-spangled banner, O long may it wave.

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is that band, who so vauntingly sworo

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A homo and a country, shall leave us no more 'i Their blood has washed out tlielr foul footsteps' pollution, No refuge could save the hireling and slavo

Vrom the terror ot Uighl or the gloom of tho grave. Chorus— And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave.

O'er tho land of the free and the homo of tht brave.

O thus bo it ever, when freemen shall stand Itolwutm their loved home and the war's desolation. Blest wiili victory and peace, may tho heaveu rescued land, Praise tho power that has made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just.

And this be our motto, in God is our trust. Chorus— And tho star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave,

THE NATION'S .DEFENDERS.

Colonel Ingersoll's Tribute to the

Heroic Dead.

PEERLESS GEM OF ORATORY.

StatclilfSH Eloquence ICmhodicd In a Speech In I'iMisi? of tho Yutnr and I'iithetic St?lf-S n*rilic:o of Jiravo Men

Who 12ared Their Hreasts In Hattle'a Front In Defense of tho Union Forever.

"The past rises before me like a dream. Again we are in a great struggle for national life. Wo hear the sound of preparation—the music of the boisterous drums, the silver voices of heroic bugles. We see thousands of assemblages, aud hear the appeals of orators we see thepale clioeks of women, aud the flashed faces of men and in those assemblages we 6ee all the dead whose dust we have covered with flowers. We lose sight of them no more. We are with them •when they enlist in the great army of freedom. We see them part- with those they love. Some are walking for the last time in quiet, woody places with the maidens they adore. We hear the whispering aud the sweet vows of eternal love, as they lingeringly part forever. Others are bending over cradles, kissing babes that are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old men. Some aro parting with mothers, who hold them aud press them to their hearts again and again, and say nothing and some are talking with wives, and endeavoring with brave words, spoken in the old tones, to drive away tho awful fear. Wo see them part. We see tho wife standing in the door with a babe in her arms—standing in the sunlight, sobbing—at the turn of the road a hand waves—she answers by holding high in her loving hands the child. He is gone, aud forever. "Wo see them all as tliey march proudly away under the Haunting flags, keeping time to the wild music of war —marching down the streets of the great cities—through the towns and across the prairies—down to tho iields of glory, and to do, and to die, for the eternal right. "We go with them one and all. We are by their sides on all the gory fields, in all the hospitals of pain, on all the weary marches. We stand guard with them in the wild storms, and under the quiet stars. We aro with thom in ravines running with blood—in the farrows of old fields. We are with them between contending hosts, unable to move, wild with thirst, the life ebbing slowly among the withered leaves. We see them pierced with balls, and torn by shells, in the trenches of forts and in the whirlwind of charge, where men become iron with nerves of steel.

"We are with them in prisons of hatred and venom, but human speech can never tell what they endured. "We are at homo when the news comes that they are dead. We see the maiden in the shadow of her first sorrow. We see the silvered head of the fid inan bowed with the last grief. "The past rises before us, and we see 4,000,000 human beings governed by tho lash we see them bound hand and foot we hear the strokes of cruel whips we see tho hounds tracking women through the tangled swamps. We see babes sold from tho breasts of mothers. Cruelty unspeakable! O outrage infinite! "Four million bodies in chains 4,000,000 souls in letters. All tho sacied relations of wife, mother, father and Child.trampled beneath, the brutal feet of might. All this was done under our own beautiful banner of the free. "The past rises beforoTus. Wo heai tho roar and shriek of the bursting shell. The broken fetters fall. These heroes died. We look. Instead of slaves wo see men and women and children. Tito wand of progress touches tho auction block, the slave pen and tho whippingpost, and we see homes and firesides, and sclionlhonscs and books, and wliero all was want and crime, and cruelty and fear, we seo the faces of the free. "Those heroes aro dead. They died for liberty—they died for us. They aro at rest.

They

sieep in tho land they

made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under (ho solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, tho embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or storm, each in tho win-dow-less palace of rest. Earth may run red with other wars—they are at peace. In tho midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found tho serenity of death. I have one sentiment for the soldiers, living and dead—cheers for the living and tears for tho dead."

A NATION CANNOT CREATE MONEY.

"Nothing that a government can print—no matter what picture it may put upon it, no matter what words—'In God Wre Trust'—it is not money it is simply a promise to pay. And yet there aro thousands and thousands of people who believe that a nation can create money. A nation can no more create money by law than it can create corn ami wheat and barley by law. And tho promise to pay money is no nearer money than a bill of fare is a dinner."— Colonel Ingersoll at Chicago.

WORDS THAT LIVE.

Speech of Hit linmortul Abniliuin I.lucoin on the UatlleJield of tjettysbur/j«

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent anew Nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. Nov.we are engaged in a groat civil war, testing whether that Nation, or any other nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. "We are met on a great battlefield of war. Wo have come to dedicate a portion of that field is the final resting place for those who gave their lives that the Nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The bravo men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here. It is rather for us, the living, to bo dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobiy advanced. It is rather for us here to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we talce renewed devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that a government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

TWO PICTURES.

"I tuii glad I live in a country where its people can get rich. :s a stmr in the sit.e of ambition. Tho poor always have hope and if not for themselves, at least fur their children. Why should wo envy tho successful? Why should we hato them? And why should we array class against class? It is all wrong. For instance, here is a young man, and he is industrious. He is in love with it girl around tho corner. She is in his brain all day and in his heart all night, and while he is working he is thinking aud he gets a little ahead, and they get married, and he is an honest man"aud gets credit, and the first thing you know lie has a good business of his own and gets rich, educates his children, aud his old age is filled wtih content and l.-ve. His companions bask in the sunshine of idloness. They have wasted their time, wasted their wages in dissipation, aud when the winter of life comes, when the snow falls on the barren fields of the wasted days, then, shivering with cold, pinched with hunger, they curse thu man who has succeeded." Thereupon tLey all said they were going to vote for Bryan."—Colonel Ingersoll at Chicago.

LOYALTY TO PARTY.

Tom

Fitch Tells Why He Is Still

Republican,

THE PARTY OF PATRIOTISM,

He Stands on Its Splendid "Record, Tliongh lie DisitgrrecH With It on the Silver Question—Its History Is "The History of the Growth, the Greatness and tho

Freedom of This Nation."

At tho late Republican convention of Arizona, held to elect delegates to tlia St. Louis convention, Tom Fitch, one of the most noted free silver advocates in tho territory, was called upon to speak, nnd responded in a speech which for simple eloquence aud beauty of diction deserves preservation, liis reasons why he should remain in the Republican party are unanswerable and should bo read by all Republicans. Tho reading will in no way dwarf their enthusiasm for tho grand old party. Tho full test of Mr. Fitch's speech is as follows: "GENTLKMEN OF Tnn Convention—I thought that the scclusion that tho upper gallery grants, combined with other circumstances, would exempt me from any iuvitation to speak before this convention, but your repeated calls leave mono alternative consistent with courtesy but to answer.them. "The speakers who have addressed yon have spoken of the free coinage of

Eilver as a cardinal principle of tho Republican party. 1 fear thai, the St. Louis convention may compel us to retrace some of our stops in this matter, aud, as tho statesmen who control this convention have not included mo among those deemed most fit to represent Arizona at St. Louis, I feel quito at-liberty to tell the truth. "I suppose no one will question my long devotion to the cause of free silver coinage. Years ago, at the inception of tho movement, I, as vico president of tho national executive committee of the silver convention, in connection with A. J. Warner, tho president of tho committee, traveled through the south and west preaching tlic doctrine of bimetallism, and I have never sinco had occasion to change my views with respect to tho great benefits that might result to this nation from tho complete restoration of silver as a money metal and yet thero aro other circumstances quito as influential which must bo potent in determining my future action and the future action of many Republicans in this matter. "This morning a friend, who is a member of this convention, and who now honors me with his audience, said to me: 'Mr. Fitch., you have always been a pronounced advocate of tho freo coinage of silver. What will you do if tho St. Louis convention adopt a plank in their platform favoring a single gold standard and denouncing tho freo coinage of silver?' I did not answer this question then, but with your permission I will do so now. "I belong to tho Republican party because its history is the history of the growth, the greatness, and tho freedom of this nation because its purposes aio patriotic becauso it is tho friend of labor without being tho foe of thrift because it is wise, because it is just, because its restoration to complete power will rekindle tho furnace aud start the turbines and fill tho laud with the music of contented and well paid toil, and put bread into men's mouths and hope into their hearts. "I belong to the Republican party because it is the grandest political organization of freemen that the world has ever known becausc under its wise guidance star after star lias been added to our flag, ship after ship has been added to our fleets, factory after factory has been added to our resources, millions upon millions havo been added to our wealth, city after city has been developed from our villages, and tho land has been laced with a network of iron rails, and furnace fires have illuminated the night, and the grand diapason of labor has bean mado to sound throughout the continent "I belong to tho Republican party because under its inspiration these United

States, once a wrangling and discordant commonwealth these United States, once shamed with slavery and decrepit with tho disease of secession—these United States havo become a country whero no slave's presence dishonors labor, where no freeman's utterances are choked by tho hand of power, whero i:o man c-jfla l.ia lu.t to another except through tho courtesy of equals, where education is free, where manhood is respected, and whero labor is protected. "Under the patriotic rule of the Republican party these United States have bocome a nation whoso credit reigns at tho head of tho world's firances," whose flag floats proudly upon every sou, and whose armies would come at tho drambeat out of tho liivt of industry to swarm in defense of tho country on every shore.

Under tho rule of tho Republican parry theso United States have become tho greatest, freest, and most prosperous nation under tho light of tho sun. "I belong to tho ltepuhlican party because it gave land to the landless, because it gave work to tho industrious, because it gave freedom to the slave, because, when tho nation was in peril, it gave armies and treasure for her preservation. "Forty years ago, then a lad of 18, I joined the Republican ranks, and, too young to vote, I flung my blazing banner aloft for Fremont and Jessie. I 'was present as a newspaper reporter at the Chicago convention in I860, when all Illinois shouted Abraham Lincoln into the presidency. I beard the song of John Brown's soal scngin bated breath and in secret gatherings of his sympathizers, and four years later on these distant sboree I almost c&sgitt ikd epho

of its refrain when armies chanted it for their battle anthem. I enjoyed the eloquence and friendship of Baker and of Starr King, and Butler and Bingham, and Garfield aud Conkling, and that noblest Roman of them all, Jarnos G. Blaine. "Who, then, is thero in all this land that shall dare to ask me to betray theso. memories bccauso of a difference of opinion concerning tho conditions under which silver dollars shall be coined? "Who shall dare tell me it is my duty to leave the path along which my youth and my manhood marched, and whero, when the evening bugle shall sound the fiual reveille, my age shall be found still marching? Rather will I turn to the Republican goddess the samo steadfast faco th=»t I bore when my locks, now whitening, wero black as the raven's wing, and say to lior as Ruth said to Naomi, 'Whither thou goest, I will go aud where thou lodgest, I will lodge thy people shall be my people, aud thy God my God whero thou diest I will die, and there will I bo buried.'

LINCOLN'S ADVICE TO VOTERS.

In 1801 Mr. Lincoln snid:

"That some may bo rich shows that others may become rich, and lienco is just encouragement to industry and snterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself thus, by example, assuring that his own shall be sut'o from violence when built."

SPEAKER REED'S WORDS OF WISDOM.

"I havo said that it would be unwise, unjust and senseless to confound the Democratic organization with individual Democrats. I havo said, also, that that would be flouting apart of our own history, and a glorious part of our history, too. Why. it is within tho memory of a tliinl, and perhaps half of this very audience which listens to me, that when tho terrible war of tho rebellion burst forth tens of thousands of Democrats, politicians, strong party men, sprang to their foot, representing hundreds of thousands, aye, millions, and thenceforth and always wero part and parcel of tho bono and sinew of tho victorious republic. What matter if tho party had gone wrong. Tliey were right. One man among them—one man alone—by a single sentence, gave aid and succor to this government which outweighed a whole army corps of veterans, musket on shoulder. "When Stephen A. Douglass declared, after Sumter was fired on, that 'thenceforth there could be but two parties— patriots and traitors.' ho won tho respect even of foes anil an imperishablo place in history. "We shall certainly -welcome such men today, not that they are to bo Republicans, for they will not. be, but bocause they are patriots, for that they must be."

Thero are 970,000 pensioners on the honored pension roll of this government today, and the government pays out of its public treasury in pensions over $140,000,000 every year to the soldiers and sailors, their widows and their orphans.
