Tn our own land, the Scotch and K the Scotch-Irish have shown Hicmselves worthy descendant's of their Kaftvnliant sires. From the border wars ^r&witli the French and Indians in Colj&WjOiiial days, to the War with Spain, }lM; and the pacification of the Phillippines, the 'Scotch and the ScotcliIrish have ever borne an honorable $$? part.

Tu their native land the Scotts have carried I ho industries based on their natural resources to the highest degree of perfection. Scotch woolen <roods are unsurpassed by those of any other country, and the Scotch | and the Scotch-Trish in Ireland have | set the standard of the world in the ? manufacture of linens.

Fi'om these yards have oomo a great part of the merchant and war fleets of Britain, and, in the Lusilania. they have their crowning achievement'. In Ameriea, the Soot eh and the Scoteh-Trish have had a wider field for the development of industrial leadership.
