which landed at last, after many sites in France
were considered, upon the shores of New York's
noble harbor by the grace and labor of Mr.
Pulitzer's New York World newspaper.
The mighty figure looms up to the Kings,
Queens, Generals and Envqys of the world, at
the portal of the Continent of the West as
The Apostle of Liberty

language telling of achievements and teaching its
lessons of civilization.
Let it never be said that America has sold
herself out for vainglory or that she is unable to
