One of the best of the Lincoln day speeches made was
that delivered by Martin Y. Littleton at New York, in
which he drew vivid contrast between the achievements
for humanity id' Rockefeller and Carnegie with those of
AYashington and Lincoln, lie said:
""Washington started the foundation of the republic,
and Lincoln had to save it.
"Not very lmig ago a little man sat down amid the
Allegheny lulls and built a lire that burned for days and
years, and when the smoke went up anil the fire went out
he raked the ashes and found !( H l.l MM), Hill melted in the
heat of sweat and toil.
"His genius surely played a natural part, but the gov
ernment did the most to make him ' King of Inui.' Willi
the government's sheltering hand against the world, allied
with nature's countless wealth and the nation's boundless
power, he took his toll of everything that thrift could lend
or toil promote.
"Then at the top of this commonwealth is another man.
Sill-rendering to the silent impact of the years as they
tear down the winding way up which he trod to fortune
and to fame. He sees the w recks of his rivals ami the ruin
of his rivals and prostrate states polluted by his power.
"Mistaking the decay of nature for the grace of God,
ho (urns a trivial stipend to the church, a paltry contribu
tion to the schools, and. in return, expects ,i pulpit and
a chair.
"Thus the men stand on t iptoe to the power of what the
world is pleased to call success, luit at the price of bleaching
bones. The world could well afford to let them wither in
their dread and discontent, but feebly following a I'ter them
are untold numbers making headlong progress toward the
open ditch. Greed, insatiable greed, gr ! for vulgar
wealth, for more than need can use, normal appetites de
sire, has seized upon us.
"Against this greed for gold we have the examples
of George Washington's benign wealth and Lincoln's sim
ple poverty. Lincoln blazed his way from the cabin to
the crown, lie was the only man that could have saved
the nation. In all the ruin that fell about our country's
path, in all the wrongs that sought to wreck our country's
growth, in all the intrigues of erstwhile friends, the curses
that fell upon his humble frame from unworthy lips, there
was not enough to force upon Lincoln's lips a word of
accusation or blame.
"AVe are now being taught the strenuous life instead
of the simple life of Lincoln, and the ancient simple stand
ard of people of brains and blood is giving away to one
brought out of hard and hoarded cash."
