archy which prevails at home and
another which Is typical of the tyran
ny and despotism over subjects who
are not participants in the Govern
ment toan appreciable extent but are
held by the sword For the purpose of
taking us away from our safe republi
can moorings and putting us under a
real or fancied obligation the British
Government assumedto protect usfroro
foreign interference when we were at
war with Spain with the certainty
that we would speedily defeat the
Spanish arms The timidity of our
Administration was played on We
did not need the protection so osten
tatiously offered by Great Britain It
was as much to the interest of Great
Britain as it was to that of the United
States to have no third party to the
war British statesmen know that a
war which would involve she Western
Hemisphere would require most elab
orate defense of British America
Lord Salisbury and his associates were
looking out for themselves as usual
Thats all right of course They ought
to be assidious in the interest nf their
own country Let us not bnwcvc
permit them to fool us
