HEN our country and, with a government and a patriot and pitchforks, it went to war be: its own necessities, England owned us at that tim business. England di onies to build so much as a horseshoe. This irritated the stern, unterrified sons of liberty to such an extent that they fought for seven years and drenched the land with patriot blood of so high a quality that p sion of the same brand to-day makes an American citizen almost unbearably proud. Our forefathers endured cold, starvation and muzzle- ded bullets as large as eggs with unflinching valor and plished more freedom on this Western hemisphere than. n before in a groaning world. One hundred and forty years’ have now elapsed sin 1775, Let us look once more at the unshackled worshipers of total independencs No nation on earth can tell us what to refrain from making nowada No nation has tried to do it for a cen- tury. Therefore we have been buying each year upward of $2,000,000,000 worth of foreign goods. We buy dress goods from England, hats from Paris, toys from Germany, old masters from Italy, dressed beef from the Argentine, California wine from Burgundy, matches from Sweden and husbands from ry land that h royal family. We would even buy foreign automo- biles if we could buy European-made roads on which to run them. Having established our heaven-born right to make whatever we please, we have folded up said right and put it away in a cool, dry place. This country should manufacture enough goods to keep its citizens busy at all times, but those great leaders who are appealing to our patriotism are not using the right hailing sign. Congress should at once pass a law forbid- ding America to purchase anything which can be made abroad. When thi done, 100,000,000 uncontrollable Americans will proceed to vindicate our independence once more by demanding the ‘* Made in U.S. A." label on every- thing, from literature to firecrackers.
