The Improved Man will be self-poised, independent, candid and free. He will be a scientist. He will observe, investigate, experiment and demonstrate. He will use his sense and his senses. He will keep his mind open as the day to the hints and suggestions of nature. He will always be a student, a lerner and a listener—a believer in intellectual hospitality.

In the world of his brain there will be continuous summer, perpetual seed-time and harvest. Facts will be the foundation of his faith. In one hand he will carry the torch of truth, and with the other raise the fallen.

Tammany Hall bears the same relation to the penitentiary that a Sunday-school does to the church.

-I believe in protecting American labor. I want the shield of my country above every anvil, above every furnace, above every cunning head and above every deft of American labor.

From the wondrous tree of life the buds and blossoms fall with ripened fruit, and in the common bed of earth patriarchs and babes sleep side by side.

-Money has a great liking for money. A single dollar in the pocket of a poor man is lonesome; it never is satisfied until it has found its companions.

-Good character rests upon a record and not upon a prospectus. A man has a good or a bad character, by

--This same Jacob Thompson whom the Democratic party shielded—this same man hired men to burn down the city of New York. Right in this great and splendid city of New York, that sits so like a queen on the Atlantic, men rose up in mobs to burn down asylums, simply because their walls sheltered the offspring of another race. Every one who raised his hand against these institutions should have had his brains crushed to atoms. It was a disgrace to humanity itself.
