The association has already recovered the cabin In which Lincoln was born, Willed was taken from the property loti-' years ago hy a an ' -nlntlve showman, who put it on exhibltiou at several of the prominent fairs throughout the coun­ try. The Lincoln Farm Association be­ lieves that the work of building this farm into n national memorfal should be accomplished by the Abie,'loin people, and hy their Individual contri­ butions. and not through any appro­ priation by congress or thrnugii the subsidy of large private fortunes, it should express the democruic sym­ pathy and loyalty of the great \m«r- fcan people for and to this great pres­ ident. who has so fittingly b ten called the “first American." The Lincoln Farm AsaociaHm Is nn organization of American citizens to which every one shall be entitled to membership who contributes, through the general fund for the preservation of this historic spot, any sum not less than twenty-five cents, nor to exceed twenty-five dol­ lars. Every such subscriber shall be recorded In the membership card cat headed and great-hearted I has been left, after its ac been impoverished by careles to become a humiliation to and historian, and the butt eule of the irreverent Pigs tie have reduced the haslt beautiful spring to a mud vandal hands have carried humble cabin wherein a giant soul was born, and utter neglect s.ir rounds the first home of the g -pat Amerisan “Man of Sorrows." Realizing this neglect, en*l that this farm birthplace *as to b> treat­ ed with still greater indlgrlty l»y the exploitations of speculators, for vul­ gar and unwholesome popularity, the association secured the farm under tho austloneer's hammer, and now holds it in trust for the nation. It simply mw the opportunity, which no one else seemed desirous of tak­ ing, to protect this shrine front fur­ ther vandalism, and it desires to turn It over to the people of the I’nited States, to be forever held by them as a garden spot in the nation's his­ tory. a trysting-place where the East, West, North and South may find the inspiration of national unity and a patriotic righteousness, a growing witness that the “dark and bloody ground" is no longer, and that the "border” state has become the cen­ tral state As a patriotic park th* Lincoln farm will differ widely from our other national parks, such as Gettysburg. Chickamauga, Mission- ary Ridge, Vicksburg and others. in that it will express our national unity rather than preserve the mem­ ory of our lamentable differences. Il will continue to be a birthplace .f citizenship and patriotism. The historic ground will be owned and eared for by the Lincoln Farm Association's self-perpetuating com­ mittee of patriotic citizens. To theri will be entrusted the expenditure of the subsidy which the members of the Lincoln Farm Association shall raise. Lying, as this farm does, al­ most at the centre of our po > muon.
