Lincoln predicted that the Civil War icould end with the nlfalumcnf of a
worthy object, lie expressed the hope that tchen that oar ended peace would
come to stay. Docs not that hope find daily utterance tn tho homo and tho
public placet Apply his utterances and writings on tho draft, on enforced,
service , on the soldier, his appeal to patriotism, war bonds, food conscrtatlon,
etc., fo this present war. more terrible even than that conflict which he con
sidered the most horrible in the history of the xeorld. lie even had the Got)
ernment take control of the rnllroacfj. Vxcrpts from these writlnns and
speeches, filled tetth prophecy for America nou, follow:
I.KNOTII OK WAlt
It Is a pertinent question, often
asktd in tho mind, privately and from
one to nnother, when is tho war to
end? Surely I feel n deep an Interest
In this question as any other can. but
I do not wish to name a day, a month
or n year when It Is to end.
We ncccpted thli war for an object, a
worthy object, and the war will end
when that object is attained Under
God I hope It never will end until that
tlmo. This war has taken three years,
and for the American people, ns far
as my knowledge enables mo to speak,
I say we are going through If It takes
three years more.

From a letter written Aucut 10. 1803.
on Tin: HHArr
We are contending with un enemy,
who, ns I understand, drives every
able-bodied man ho can reach Into his
ranks, very much as a butcher drives
bullocks Into a slaughtering pen. No
time Is wasted, no argument is used.
This produces an army which will soon
turn upon our own victorious soldiers,
already In tho field. If they nhall not
be sustnlned by recruits, as they
should be. It produces an army with
a rapidity not to bo matched on our
side, If wo first wasto tlmo to experi
ment with the volunteer Fystem al
ready deemed by Congress, and pal
pably, In fact, so far exhausted as to
bo Inadequate, nnd then more time
to obtain a court decision as to
whether a law Is constitutional which
requires part of those not now In the
service to go to the aid of those who
aro already In It, and still moro tlmo
to determine with nbsoluto certainty
that we get those who aro to go In
tho precise legal proportion to thoe
who aro not to go. My purpose Is to
bo In my action Just nnd constltut.
tlonal. and yet practical, In perform
ing tho Important duty with which I
am charged, of malntalng tho unity
nnd free principles of our common
country.
From letter to nnvernnr nt Vw V.-1
Auguat, 1803, retuslnc to suspend the draft
law In that State.
ON F.NFOHCKI) 8EBVICK
I do not say that all who would
avoid serving In the war are unpatri
otic; but I do think every patriot
should willingly take his chance un
der a law made with great care In
ordes to secure entire fairness. Tho
principle of the draft, which simply is
Involuntary or enforced service, is not
new It has been practiced In all
ages of , the world. It was well known
to tho framers of our Constitution as
one of the modes of raising annles at
the time they placed In that Instru
ment tho provision that "Congress
Khali have power to raise and support
nrmlcs." It had been used Just be
fore In establishing our Independence,
and it also was used under tho Con
stitution In 1812. Wherein Is tho pe
culiar hardship now? Shall wo Bhrlnk
from the necessary means to maintain
our free government which our grand
fathers etnploycd to establish It and
our own fathers havo already em
ployed onco to maintain It? Are wo
I'egenerate? Has the manhood of our
taco run out? With these views and
on these principles I feel bound to tell
you It Is my purposo to eco the draft
law faithfully executed.
From a urlttcn speech never printed.
THE SOLDIER
This extraordinary war tn which
wo nro engaged falls heavily upon all
classes of people, but most heavily
upon the soldiers. For It has been
bald nil that a man hath will ho give
for his life; and while all contrlbuto
of their substance, the soldier puts
his life at stake and often yields It
up in his country's cause. The high
est merit, then. Is due the soldier.

AN Ari'EAL TO PATRIOTISM

sink all personal considerations for
the sake of ..io country.

THE REAL SOVEREIGN
A majority tick' In restraint by
constitutional check limitation nnd
always changing easily with deliberate
changes of popular opinions and sen
timents Is the only true sovereign of
a free people.
From flrat inaucural addreis. (
WAR I10NH8
The public debt on the first day of
July last, as appears by the books of
the Treasury, amounted to $1,740,690,
489,. Probably, should tho war
continue for another year, that
amount may be Increased by not far
from 1500,000,000. Held, as It Is,
for the most part, by our own people,
It has become a substantial branch of
national, although private property.
For obvious reasons the more nearly
this property can be ' distributed
among tho people the better. To favor
huch general distribution greater In
ducements to become owners might,
perhaps with good effect and without
Injury, be presented to persons of lim
ited means. With this view I sug
gest whether It might not be both
competent and expedient for Congress
to provide that a limited amount of
some future Issue of publlo securities
might be held by any bona fide pur
chaser exempt from taxation and from
seizure for debt under such restric
tions nnd limitations as might bo nec
essary to guard against abuse of so
Important a privilege. Thli would
enable every prudent person ' to set
aside a small annuity against a possi
ble day of want. Privileges like
these would render the possession of
such securities to the amount limited
most desirable for every person of
small means who might be able to
save 'enough for the purpose. The
great advantage of citizens being
creditors as well as debtors with re
lation to the publlo debt la obvious.
Men readily perceive that they can
not be much oppressed by a debt
which they owe to. themselves.

LOYALTY
When the war began It was my
opinion that all thoso who, becauso
of knowing too little or because of
knowing too much, could not conscien
tiously approve tho conduct of the
President, should, nevertheless, ns
good citizens nnd patriots, remain
silent on tho point, at least till the war
should bo ended"
From spz-eeh on Mexlean War delivered

I go for nil sharing the privileges
of the Government who assist In bear
ing its burdens. Consequently, I go
for admitting all whites to the right
of suffrage who pay taxes or bear

FAVORITISM
Mv Dear Sir I have received nnd
read your pencil note. 1 think you do i
not know how embarrassing your re
quest Is. Few thlngit are no trouble
some to the Government ns the fierce
ness with which the profits In trading
nro sought. Tho tempta'lon Is ro
great that nearly cvcrbody wishes
to bo In It. nnd when In. the question
of profit controls all. What enn nnd

settled, nnd It seems to me I cannot

TRAITOR"
The Insurgents had been preparing
for It (the war) more than thirty
years. Their sympathizers
pervaded all departments of tho Gov
ernment and nearly all communities
of the people. l'Vom this material,
tinder cover of "liberty of speech,"
"liberty of press" and "habeas corpus"
they hoped to keep on foot among us
n most efficient oorps of spies. Inform
ers, suppliers and alders and abettors
of their eausei In a thousand ways.

WHAT WE .VRE FIGHTING FOR
It Is rather for us to be here dedi

fore us that government
of tho people, by tho people and for
tho people shall not perish from the
earth.
From th GeUytmrir Address.
THE GOVERNMENT
This Government must bo preserved
tn splto of the acts of any man or set
of men. It Is worthy of your every
effort. Nowhere In the world Is pre
sented a Qo ernment of so much lib
erty and equality. To the humblest
nnd poorest among us aro held out tho
highest prlvlltgcs and positions.
From an address to the soldiers returnlnr,

FAITH
Tho purposes of the Almighty nro
perfect, nnd must prevail, though wo j
erring mortals may fall accurately to i
perceive them In advance. Wo hoped
for a happy termination of this terri
ble war long before this; but God
knows best, and has ruled otherwise.
Surely ho Intends some great
good to follow this mighty convulsion.
which no mortal could make, and no
mortal could tttiy.
From a letter, September, 1804,
PEACE
1 am struenllng to maintain tho
Government. This Is due to the
people both on principle and under
tho Constitution. If they should
deliberately resolvo to havo Imme
diate peace, even at Iohs of their coun
try and their liberty, I know not tho
power or the right to resist them.
I behove, however, they are still
resolved to preserve their country and

The annual trlbuto to Abraham' Lin
coln was paid by students of Glrnrd
College In the college chapel this morn
ing along with the presentation of
alumni prizes to meritorious Btudents.
Tho great gathering of boys nnd oung
men listened to nti address by
Kmerson Collins, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral of l'ennsjlv.tnla. In his eulogy of
that great Frcsldent, Mr. Collins said:
"Lincoln was ready to pay nny cost
of blood or treasure soontr than sacri
fice his cause. This should bo a
guide nnd a beacon to nil In this dread
ful day of storm nnd stress. The de
fenders of liberty who have already
fallen In tho countless thousands along
tho horror-haunted b.ittlo lines of Ku
rope, the others yet to fall, must not
have died In tain.
"Lincoln hated war," said the ppeaker,
"but accepted It nnd waged It relentless
ly rather than let the Union perish. Ho
prayed for peace dally, hut ho never
once prayed for a peace without victory.
lAlthough ho had 'malice toward nono
ana charity ror nil, no netcr compro
mised a principle.
Prolonged applause followed when the
speaker said: "Lincoln said thcro could
bo no peace with half free and halt
slavery and thcie ran bo no peace; now
with half democracy and half nil
tocracy," "Thero must bo no Inconclusive pence.
Such nil end would bo the supreme trag
edy capping this tragedy of all tho ngc.
Wo nto proud and confident In tho belief
that tho spirit which sustnlned Lincoln
will possess our Fresldcnt nnd people
and our allies to light this war through
to a crownlns nnd glorified conclusion."
Thu mighty chorus of students tang
national songs, accompanied by tho Gl
rard Collego Hand.
Tho apeelal prizes In aeknowledtment of
efficiency of the atudents In tarlous branches
of the college tducatlonal sstem were
awarded lit the. conclusion of exercises.

make the above statement advisedly, vritn lull
knowledge of conditions in the furniture field.
It was because of this knowledge that we were
able to anticipate the rising cost of materials
and labor, and prepare against them; to make
early contracts that have filled our spacious
floors and enormous warehouses with splendid
merchandise. Many of the beautiful suites
and pieces we are showing could not be dupli
cated now at any price none at the former
prices yet we have marked them down for
this February Sale just as though normal con
ditions prevailed. Comparison is the most con
vincing of all tests, and careful householders
will apply it. A visit to this largest furniture
Store in America, will show how much more
complete and varied a stock we have assembled
and how much lower our prices are.
example you will find Buffets of solid oak as low as $16.50; Writ
ing Tables from $9.50 to $95.00; Library Tables from $4.50 up
to hundreds of dollars; Dining Suites in mahogany beginning at
$75.00; Bookcases from $12.00 and so on; in fact, the widest pos
sible price-rnnge in every kind of good furniture.
