HISTORY OF MANCHESTER.
Such are a few of the instances which show how re- cent and how marvellously swift has been the march of material progress. I see no reason to believe that in the future its pace will be retarded. Rather must we look for a constant acceleration, as man's dominion over the forces of nature becomes more complete with each new discovery and achievement. And what is to be the result? Is man to be " chained to the wheel of the world, blind with the dust of its speed," or is his gaze to be more and more lifted to the sun-lit heights where dwell enlightenment, virtue and knowledge? Happy is it for man that it is not given to him to draw aside the veil of the future. We may study the past, we may observe the present, and from that study and observa- tion we may draw some general inference as to what the years that are to come may have in store.
I am not of those who find cause for discouragement or dismay. Upon each generation of men God wisely im- poses a condition of struggle and effort, but he must have a strange conception of the Divine purpose who believes that mankind is hastening to destruction. Never before were all elevating and refining influences so strong and so accessible to the masses of the people as here in America to-day. Religion is becoming broader and more Christ-like, and its hold upon the con- sciences of men is not relaxed, nor are its fervor and sacred enthusiasm dead. Education is more widely diffused than ever before in the history of the world, and nowhere is there so vast a population of eager and intelligent readers as here. Gentle charity has grown more wise in its methods and far more efficacious in its results. Social immorality is still a menace in our great cities, but is powerless to contaminate the life of the great body of self-respecting, God-fearing men and women who constitute the mass of our American popu-

lation. As never before intemperance is stamped as vice and degradation, and is no longer regarded as a humorous incident of sociability.
The easy optimism which believed that in instituting here free self-government based upon universal suffrage, our fathers had established a machine of perpetual mo- tion which would grind out its beneficent results with- out vigilance or effort on the part of later generations, has given place to a higher conception of citizenship. I know of no more encouraging sign in American poli- tics than the activity in nearly all of our great cities of organizations of men of high and honest aims, who are pledged to rescue our municipal governments from the misrule which has grown to be our chief national dis- grace. In New York and elsewhere these Good Gov- ernment Clubs have shown that honesty and intelli- gence can always win if they will. Blind Milton saw clearly when he wrote : " I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race, where that immortal garland is to be run for not without dust and heat." Least of all in a republic has such virtue place. In his recent final retirement from political life the venerable and illustrious English statesman thus wrote to his Midlothian constituents, who for so many years have loyally supported him at the polls : "It is beyond question that the century now ex- piring has exhibited since the close of its first quarter a period of unexampled activity, the changes of which taken in the mass have been in the direction of true and beneficial progress." I think that the verdict of history will hold this a just and moderate estimate. But that this progress may be continuous and not diverted from its present upward path, we of this generation must be true to the past and read aright its lessons of struggle

and achievement ; we must be faithful to the present with its mighty responsibilities and opportunities ; so shall we march full-fronted to the beckoning future, and not as cowards and poltroons with trailing banners and lowered crest.
The social and economic problems, which now con- found us with their complexity and difficulty, must find their just solution at our hands. The savage strife which through their mutual fault too often breaks out between the employer and the employed must cease. The rights of both must be more clearly defined by law, and enforced by the collective sense of the commu- nity. It is much that the appalling wastefulness of strikes is already recognized, and that through arbitra- tion or by other means just causes of complaint and motives of action are more likely than heretofore to re- ceive fair hearing. How best to reduce to their mini- mum the colossal evils of intemperance and of other vices demands the wisest legislation, carried into effec- tive operation by officers of the law whose absolute in- tegrity must be assured by whatever safeguards of or- ganization and discipline experience and vigilance can devise. Constant warfare must be waged against those influences of squalor, ignorance and vice which breed crime, and constant effort exerted to make its punish- ment such as to give opportunity for reformation. That poverty which through lack of energy and effi- ciency ever tends to produce pauperism must be so touched by the hand of charity as to be stimulated to self-respect and industry.
The standard of decency and comfort in the lives and homes of our toiling people must not be lowered. The amazing power of assimilation which American civiliza- tion has displayed must not be overtaxed. When entire families of those alien in speech, in habit and in

thought, are content to kennel within the bare walls of reeking tenement or contractor's shanty, and to live upon what our own people discard, wholly untouched by the influences which produce the American citizen, they constitute a menace to the community. The rills of immigration which, properly distributed, serve to irrigate and fructify our broad territory, must not be permitted to become a flood that shall swamp the land or sweep it bare of the accumulated soil of centuries. America will ever be hospitable to the immigrant, what- ever his nationality, who brings with him intelligence and industry, and who possesses the capacity and de- termination to become in very truth an American citi- zen. But in my opinion the time is come when such restrictions must be placed upon immigration as shall not only exclude the felon, the insane and the actual or prospective pauper, but shall limit the admission of those who show a racial inability to assimilate with our people. Our land is broad, but the stars and stripes alone must cover every foot of its limitless area, and the supremacy of that flag must be unquestioned and com- plete. Beneath its rule the anarchist, the oath-bound assassin and he who gives expression to his prejudices or passions by the violence of mobs have no place.
We must be exacting and yet just in our judgments of those who hold public office. Corruption, dishonesty and cowardice should be sternly dealt with ; but gross injustice is often wrought by embittered partisan abuse and the reckless imputation of unworthy motives for acts of which the error at most may be one of judgment only.
A living and active faith in the great truths of reli- gion is a force for righteousness in a nation, and this faith is not likely to wane in vitality so long as it con- forms itself more and more closely to the teachings and
424
HISTORY OF MANCHESTER.
life of Christ. Public education must be ever broadened in its aims and improved in its methods and results. For- ever free from sectarianism, our schools must make luminous to the eye of the young the page of American history, so that even the child of the most recent im- migrant may early learn that he has become a citizen of no mean country. If on leaving the school the child carries with him the hunger for further knowledge - and this is the true test of the success of any system of education - he should find in our colleges the way made easy for character and ability, and in our public libraries he should find rich storehouse of the best thought of all lands and all times. Art and music should bring their refining and elevating influences within the reach of all; free lectures should hold out their Inre to enter the magic realms of literature and science, and the weary worker should find rest and peace with wife and child in those great tracts where nature is at her fairest which have already been re- served for his use.
These are among the agencies which are hastening the day when shall be realized the fundamental idea of American citizenship, that all men shall enter upon the competition of life upon equal terms of social rights, obligations and opportunities. The study of history has caused Mr. Lecky to speak as follows of the prosperity of nations and the causes that contribute thereto: "Its foundation is laid in pure domestic life, in commercial integrity, in a high standard of moral worth and of pub- lic spirit, in simple habits, in courage, uprightness and a certain soundness and moderation of judgment which springs quite as much from character as from intellect. If you would form a wise judgment of the future of a nation, observe carefully whether these qualities are in- creasing or decaying. Observe especially what qualities
425

count for the most in public life. Is character becoming of greater or less importance? Are the men who obtain the highest posts in the nation, men of whom in private life and irrespective of party competent judges speak with genuine respect? Are they of sincere convictions, consistent lives, indisputable integrity? ... It is by observing this moral current that you can best cast the horoscope of a nation."
If by the test so applied we would read in that horo- scope the promise of future greatness and stability, as I think we may, the nation must not cease to produce the highest type of citizen known the world over. In this high service let there be a generous emulation among the sister states. Shall our own dear state give back- ward step from the forefront where she has ever proudly stood in all the long years since your town had its birth ? O stern and rugged cliffs that guard the shores of Massachusetts Bay and hurl back unshaken the surges of the Atlantic! O waving forests that clothe the hills and clasp in their embrace the embosomed lakes! O broad and fair domain of the Old Bay State, stretching from beautiful Berkshire, past peaceful village and prosperous city, to the glistening sands of Barnstable, and on to historie Nantucket nursed on ocean's breast -- thy breed of men has never failed thee yet. May they continue to spring from thy loins as we have known them in the past, sturdy, virtuous and heroic; so for all time may the prayer go up, not in cringing terror nor pusillani- mous supplication, but in the full, strong voice of manly self-reliance, "God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!"
