We do not kiss the hand that smites us; we do not love those who deepitefully use us. We are not christians chris-tians on any such predicate. We want lo dig our silver and make it into dollars, such as have served the world for six thousand years. We cannot love and eerve those who refuse to permit ' us to do this.
