Publisher description
Excerpt from How a Dead Man Was Drawn From His Tomb and Back Again to Life Facts Presented by a Citizen of the United States, Born at Watervleit Arsenal, to the Senate and House of Representatives of the Honor of the United States, About Which, as His Own Is a Part of It, He Instructs Them, For Himself, Not to Quibble Nor Allow His Share Thereof to Be Lost. San Francisco, in response to appeals has in times of her disasters and exhibitions, had larger gifts quickly sent to her from all of the nations and states, than any other city. San Francisco representatives in the California Legislature have stood in opposition to aid being sent in one state (her own) to orange growers within the southern half of that state when one years frost (such as was there a novelty) in one night did damage that caused to be given to the book: "People (thither coming out of a region wherein disasters are met as if they were a jest) Whom You May Meet At The Fair" its title, as wide as did her own great earthquake, in recoupment for the damage of which there was poured into her (no nation in the world discriminating) wealth out of the whole of it. San Francisco legislators from all of the aliens who thus helped her have since sought to take away privileges that, within the city into which their money was poured, they desired to have reserved for themselves. From the nations whose money came in great volumes to enable them to rebuild their city many of San Francisco's citizens now desire to withhold the canals use upon those equal terms for which its word of honor for the whole country has been given. These San Franciscans invite the people whose money without discrimination they have accepted to come and under the roofs of the city dwell, and celebrate the completion of a canal the right to use which those spoken of as guests they desire not to permit to have, on the terms that the hosts reserve for themselves, yet which they invite the guests to come and help them to celebrate. Robertsons and Elders, the fashionable book dealers of the city, say that they have not, and the White House does not say whether or not it has room for this pamphlet; within which at once, by those who possess the faith or friendship, that can alone lead to the discernment of any great matter, there will be found the concluding expression of a gift, long ago made to mankind, of a value greater than all canals that have been built, and beyond that of all expositions, that signs placed high up or agents sent abroad, have invited "the world" to come to. The conduct, therefore, of San Francisco, set out above, has been to her a disaster greater than any that could be the consequence of another earthquake lasting even longer than did the great one of 1906.
