164. America a Glorious Land

Labor has more to eat and more to wear in the United States than in

any other land of this earth. I want America to produce everything

that Americans need. I want it so if the whole world should declare war

against us, so if we were surrounded by walls of cannon and bayonets and

swords, we could supply all human wants in and of ourselves. I want to

live to see the American woman dressed in American silk; the American

man in everything from hat to boots produced in America by the cunning

hand of the American toiler.
