Show Give us but the opportunity to labor, and the whole world of human life will burst into tree and flower. To the seventy-five millions of people which make up the great republic the opportunity to labor means more than to all the world besides. It means the development of resources great beyond comprehension of any mortal, and the diffusion among all of riches t which the glories of the Arabian Nights arc but the L'litter of the pawn shop, and to which the sheen of all jewels of this earth are but the gleam of the glow worm in the pallor of the dawn. Thomas H. Reed. |
