This latest addition to the archives of America is dedicated at a moment when the government of the people by themselves is everywhere attacked. It is, therefore, proof if any proof is needed that our confidence in the future of democracies is not diminished in this nation and will not diminish." FDH Sees U. S. Facing EVlajor Tests BOSTON.
