Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand Book for American Citizens, or Things Every Patriot Should Know The object in issuing this manual is to place in the hands of the citizen a weapon which will arm him for the performance of his duties and the de fence of his rights. The information herein con tained has been carefully compiled from trust worthy sources. It is not specially intended for the theorist; it deals with the Republic as it has been and as it is, and with the Constitution and laws as they are, and not as this or that dreamer thinks that they ought to be. If knowledge is power, then the citizen who reads and studies this book will have power-power to do his part intel ligently in upholding the institutions whose estab lishment has cost. So much, and on whose perma nence the happiness of mankind may depend. The Old Flag appears all the dearer and more glorious the more we study the history which it represents, and the rights and privileges won for us by the men who bore it through the storms of many a battle field. The American who fails to acquaint himself with the origin and character of American institu tions, and with his own rights and obligations as a citizen and a sovereign is lacking in loyalty to his country, to his home and to himself.
