But whatever style or location be adopted. let appropriate monuments be erected. The fourth section of the bill is in strict keeping with the sentiments which insilire the main idea. American citizens. native or naturalized (those who have declared their intention to be naturalized are held to be entitled to protection as citizens). should build these monuments. The expenditureshould be fbr the benefit of those who need employment. and more and more the money paid out on public works must be given to those who are ullable to command work in any other way. and thus something be done to insure wages and support to our surpltislaboring population. while the longsanctioned principle that prcfirenco shall be given to the soldier and sailor who has beeni honorably discharged fron the service is to l)e rigidly complied with so lhr as it can be consistently with the progreas and fitness of the work. One hundred thomantd dollars appropriated annually to each monument for ten years would be but a slight expenditure. while it certainly would insure unilbrinity in ambunt of employment. thoroughness of inspection. and consequent stability and perfection of the work.
