Part 5 (1/2)

Note: In the following selections, those passages that may best be delivered in a moderate pitch are printed in ordinary (roh pitch--do not h--are printed _in italics_ Those which ht well be spoken in a low pitch are printed in _CAPITALS_

These arrangeestive--we cannotso, however, it is well to practise these passages as they are marked

_Yes, all men labor RUFUS CHOATE AND DANIEL WEBSTER_ labor, say the critics But every man who reads of the labor question knows that itwith their hands; _THAT ARE EMPLOYED, AND PAID WAGES: are gathered under roofs of factories, sent out on farathered on the walls_ In popular acceptation, the working class es, so reat capitalists; that work for everybody else Why do we move for this class? ”_Why_,”

asks a critic, ”_don't you move FOR ALL WORKINGMEN?” BECAUSE, WHILE DANIEL WEBSTER GETS FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ARGUING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS, there is no need of anybody'sfor him

BECAUSE, WHILE RUFUS CHOATE GETS FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR MAKING ONE ARGUMENT TO A JURY, there is no need offor hihly disciplined and skilled labor, invent, and write books

The reason why the Labor le class is because that class of work _DOES NOT GET PAID, does not get protection MENTAL LABOR is adequately paid_, and _MORE THAN ADEQUATELY protected IT CAN shi+FT ITS CHANNELS; it can vary according to the supply and demand_

_IF A MAN FAILS AS A MINISTER, why, he becooes West, and becoovernor of a territory AND IF HE FINDS HIMSELF INCAPABLE OF EITHER OF THESE POSITIONS, he coets to be a city editor_ He varies his occupation as he pleases, and doesn't need protection _BUT THE GREAT Mass, CHAINED TO A TRADE, DOOMED TO BE GROUND UP IN THE MILL OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND, THAT WORK SO MANY HOURS A DAY, AND MUST RUN IN THE GREAT RUTS OF BUSINESS,--they are the eneral product, claims a movement in their behalf_

--WENDELL PHILLIPS

_KNOWING THE PRICE WE MUST PAY, THE SACRIFICE WE MUST MAKE, THE BURDENS WE MUST CARRY, THE assAULTS WE MUST ENDURE--KNOWING FULL WELL THE COST--yet we enlist, and we enlist for the war FOR WE KNOW THE JUSTICE OF OUR CAUSE, and we know, too, its certain triuerly_, not with _faint hearts BUT STRONG, doadvance upon the enemies of the people FOR THE CALL THAT COMES TO US is the call that came to our fathers_

As they responded so shall we

”_HE HATH SOUNDED FORTH A TRUMPET that shall never call retreat

HE IS SIFTING OUT THE HEARTS OF MEN before His judgment seat

OH, BE SWIFT OUR SOULS TO ANSWER HIM, BE JUBILANT OUR FEET, Our God ison_”

--ALBERT J BEVERIDGE

Remember that two sentences, or two parts of the saht, cannot possibly be given effectively in the saht requires a big change of pitch What the beginning student will think are big changes of pitch will be h tone--others in a _very_, _very_ low tone _DEVELOP RANGE_ It is almost impossible to use too much of it

Far to the South, Mr President, separated from this section by a line--_once defined in irrepressible difference, once traced in fratricidal blood, AND NOW, THANK God, BUT A VANIshi+NG SHADOW--lies the fairest and richest domain of this earth It is the home of a brave and hospitable people THERE IS CENTERED ALL THAT CAN PLEASE OR PROSPER HUMANKIND A PERFECT CLIMATE ABOVE a fertile soil_ yields to the husbandht _the cotton whitens beneath the stars,_ and by day _THE WHEAT LOCKS THE SUNshi+NE IN ITS BEARDED SHEAF_ In the sarance of the wind, and tobacco catches the quick aroma of the rains _THERE ARE MOUNTAINS STORED WITH EXHAUSTLESS TREASURES: forests--vast and pri, run wanton to the sea_ Of the three essential iteion has easy control _IN COTTON, a fixed monopoly--IN IRON, proven supremacy--IN TIMBER, the reserve supply of the Republic_ Froainst which artificial conditions cannotsystem of industries

This hour little needs the _LOYALTY THAT IS LOYAL TO ONE SECTION and yet holds the other in enduring suspicion and estrangement_ Give us the _broad_ and _perfect loyalty that loves and trusts GEORGIA_ alike with _Massachusetts_--that knows no _SOUTH_, no _North_, no _EAST_, no _West_, but _endears with equal and patriotic love_ every foot of our soil, every State of our Union

_A MIGHTY DUTY, SIR, AND A MIGHTY INSPIRATION iht to lose in patriotic consecration WHATEVER ESTRANGES, WHATEVER DIVIDES_
