Consider
this question: is it more decent and patriotic that for the sake of the services
of men of old times, enormous as they were, nay, great beyond expression, the
services that are now being rendered to the present age should be treated with
ingratitude and vituperation, or that every man who achieves anything in a
spirit of loyalty should receive some share of the respect and consideration of
his fellow-citizens?
