I come before you as a true, sterilized citizen, a man who is for the public and against the people, and I want to tell you, my 'steemed friends, when I look back on the early hysterics of our country, and think how our forefathers strangled to make this country voss iss is it; when you think of the lives that was loosed and the blood that was shredded, we got to feel a feeling of patriotic symptoms—we got to feel a patriotic symp—symps—you got to feel the patri—you can't help it, you got to feel it.
I tell you, our hearts must fill up with indigestion when we look out to see the Statue of Liberty, the way she stands, all alone, dressed up in nothing, with a light in her hand, showing her freedom.
And what a fine place they picked out for Liberty to stand.
With Coney Island on one side and Blackwell's Island on the other.
And when she stands there now, looking on the country the way it is and what she has to stand for, I tell you tears and tears must drop from her eyes. Well, to prove it—look at the ocean she filled up.
And no wonder she's crying. Read the nuisance papers. See what is going on.
Look what the country owes.
According to the last report of the Secretary of the Pleasury, the
United States owes five billion dollars.
Nobody knows what we owe it for;
And nobody ever sees what we have got for it; [1]
