Week Will Bring Many New Goods and Excellent Economic More Than Any Other City in the United States this city is rich in relics of the foundation of the American Republic. Let the reader put on his eyeglasses of record and tradition and visit, one by one, the camping grounds of the Indians, the former owners of the land on which the City of Brotherly Love sat down, and of that, also, which became our Revolutionary battle grounds. "Oh, say, can't you. see, by the dawn's early light," a .small vessel called "The Welcome," slowly sailing up the Delaware, in the year 1682, on which came William Penn and a company of Quakers, who got off the boat at Shackamaxon, since called Kensington. Here it was, under a great elm tree, that the man with, a broad-brimmed hat bought whatever he did not own, and also most valuable of all the, good will of the Chiefs of many tribes by gentle words and gifts of no great value. Every boy and girl and every father and mother, as well as the principals and teachers of the public schools, should picture the scene and commit to memory words something like these that William Penn must have spoken that morning: "We meet each other," said the man of peace, "in openness and freedom, with good faith and good will, without intent of either of us to do aught but treat the other fairly." It is reported that William Penn said these words: "I will not call you children, for parents sometimes chide their children too severely. Nor will I call you brothers, for brothers differ. "The friendship between you and me I will not compare to a chain, for that the rains might rust and the falling tree break." These simple words ajld the truthful spirit that prompted them impressed the Indians greatly, and one of them replied, saying: "We will live in love with William Penn and his children as long as the sun and moon shall endure." So began the founding of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and its chief city took on the name of Philadelphia, which means "Brotherly ' Love." The great Treaty Elm blew down during a storm on the night of March 3, 1810; the trunk was 24 feet in circumference. Consecutive rings proved the tree to be 218 years old. "Thou'lt find," said the Quaker, "in mc and mine But friends and brothers to thee and thine, Who abuse no power and admit no line Twixt the red man and the white." And bright was the spot where the Quaker came, To kavc his hat, his drab, and his name, That will sweetly sound from the trump of fame Till its final blast shall rise. On the monument, erected upon the site of the tree, is inscribed Unbroken Faith So may it ever be! Signed l-f JO, 1020. 9 mmafc..
