We must defend the right to work against those who would either destroy or degrade it.
That vision still remains as an ideal with the American people and still leads them to ever-higher achievements, for in all the mad changes of a frenzied hour, they have not yet lost faith in or love for the Constitution of the Fathers!

Its protection should be given to those of superior skill and diligence, who ask the due rewards of such superiority.
