Watterson On Money And Morals

The letture of Henry Watterson last fiaturday evening at University Hall, was a gnccefee, ns leetures go. The first hall of the oddress was coinmon pfoiee, quite no, and white the illusTratkm.s inay have ofton provoked a smile. the effort did not produce one lasting impresion, or do juBtice to tï)? name of Ilenry Wntterson. It aavored at t n Moe dust that arlsea wluen a dry, mouidy ciii'stnut ba opened. Towrd the latter hall more oriiiinality was appavent. and of course more interest aroused. Wheo it canic to the ploa for n better feeling and anderwtandlng between the nortli and the Koutli, the speaker eloquent. He wa.s treading close lipón pOlttlcs, in wihilch lie lia.s gainiil h;s repiïtatlori as o speaker and thinker. If all tfae people could listen to Watterson's words ; if the prejudiees wiiicli tlie fiouthern planter holds against the Yankee : and in turn the eontempt of the Yankee for the southern planter, could le eliniinatcd from the mind of eoch ; if the BOatherner would visit ilie northern Citizen, and tlie iKirtliem man return the visit, it would not take any great length of time to make the people of this nation wiiat "Watterson claims we already are, homeojjenouis. The conclusión arrived at ly the tecturer was one of an optomist. AlfhonLb he argued that it takes si.000,000 toi cobduct a preeldential tampajini, and $100,000 to secure a scat in 1'lue United Rtatee sonate, yet he belifvcd snvli thingis would ín time riü-lit iIi,iiisi]vc. and the people of tui-; picat nation fiive up their sordid iioUons, for ilicy are at béart noble and generous. It wa.s all nioney now, wltft few moráis, Imt he felt that there would be a cliange. and tliat there was suf(icient moral forcé within the people to preserve the nation, ttte grandest on Carth. -- -
