ence; that the government was endangered, its life threatened by the insidious undermining of these principles; that the government was restored to life strengthened by their vindication. He might go further and take a retrospective view, and say that the insidious power that attempted to make such history forty years ago, is at work to-day in a different form, under different auspices, but it is the same deadly enemy.

As forty years ago, the enemies made their direct attack upon the Declaration of Independence, so now the direct attack is made upon the constitutional amendments; which embody the great idea of that Declaration, and claim that the government which simply gives or aims to give, equal protection to its citizens, does not go far enough; that government must not only protect, but it must become business machine and become competitor in many respects of its citizens in business relations. It comes in the guise of paternalism, which is another name by which they desire this government to return to class. legislation. The paternalism of the people may be relied upon to again stamp out this heresy, and the great principle of equal protection of the laws for all will again come out triumphant. If it is said that we have laws which do not give equal protection to our citizens, then the remedy is not in fighting the constitution, which aims to give this equal protection; but to repeal the law that prevents it. It is a legitimate battle, legitimately made by anyone who claims that any law favors one class class as against another, to see that that law is repealed. But it is un-American to aim to do away with the great fundamental principle which aims to give equal protection to all. It is one thing to repeal unjust laws, it is another to jeopardize the great fundamental principles which make our government the best and most durable on earth.
