Show The Old Flag WITH all the business depression; the robbing rob-bing prices for food; the political contention conten-tion and the coming meetings of so many state legislatures, it is a comfort to think that the old flag is "still full high advanced," that on the next Fourth of July two more stars will be added to its shining constellation; that the history of past triumphs and the power of the Republic behind be-hind it gives it a. sovereign dignity which all the i nations, civilized and half civilized, acknowledge, J and we are all dreaming of the day when it will again light every sea, and give notice in every - port that the Great Republic seeks peace with all the earth; but holds Itself in readiness to command com-mand that peace If need be. |
