carried away by their sympathies for
this or that country in Europe are apt
to misjudge the situation and what
should be the ditty of this country in
j this foreign war.
I They all recall what their former
respective countries have done for us
and are not careful enough in giving
their opinions of what our country
should do now.
Such people forget that the first
instinct of nations, as well as Indi
viduals, is the instinct of self-preservation,
and that when the war is
over all the belligerents in Europe
will need our country's friendship
more than they ever did before. We
are under obligations to them all;
all of them owe us something.
To begin with our country was or
iginally mostly settled by Immigrants
from Great Britain. They stamped
upon this land the English language
and all that is best in English law
and literature and the reverence for
law and the love of home which are
among the strongest attributes of
Englishmen.
By these both the Puritans in the
north and the Cavaliers in the south
though widely different in other re
spects, were united.
Eut the ideas that prevailed of the
duties of colonies toward their for
eign sovereign were much the same
that Spain clung to up to the very
hour when it became necessary to
break her hold upon all her island
colonies, because of the cruelties that
she permitted her agents to perpe
trate, until eternal justice demanded
their surcease.
So England heaped oppressions up
on her American colonies, and de
spite the warnings of Barke and Fox
and Chatham, persisted until the re
volt came and' the seven year's war.
Her attitude was that of anger and
contempt. She hired mercenaries to
come and fight her battles, on the
frontier she engaged savages to rav
age the settlements.
When the frail entrenchments
were thrown up on Breed's (Bunker)
Hill, which might have easily been
made untenable by a warship in the
harbor without loss. Lord Howe, un
der Sir Henry Clinton then in com
mand in Boston, in contempt of the
foe, formed his army in solid column
ana oraerea mem to drive the rag-
muihns out, which cost them the lives
of 1,500 soldiers and some of his
most valued officers.
That war won for this country in
dependence, but it also taught Eng
land a lesson on the treatment of col
onies which has enabled her to retain
her hold on Canada, Australia, India
and South Africa and which makes
her supreme in Egypt now.
In those years France was our
friend. Lafayette and others came
and joined our army; France sent the
fleet and loaned the money which
finally closed the war In triumbh for
us. That, surely, we never can cease
to be grateful for, even if behind the
French government's acts there was
as much hate of England as love for
the colonies.
At that time there was no United
Germany, Prussia was the ruling
kingdom and Frederick the Great
was at the zenith of his great fame.
When the great war of the revolu
tion came and an army was sum
moned, the volunteers had no more
Idea of the need of having an army
disciplined than the average cong
ressman now has. They were ready
to fight, certainly, but "their idea of
liberty was that their oliicers were
not better than themselves and had
no inherent right to command them.
Hence the army that gathered under
Washington were little better than a
mob, and never accepted the truth,
that to become efficient, armies must
accept the rules of a perfect imper
ialism and submit to orders.
In half despair Washington sent to
he great Frederick for help. A few
days after the message was received
Baron Steuben, one of the king's fav-
jnte oflicors, resigned from the Prus
sian army and with a letter from his
king sailed for America and report-
d on hiii arrival to Washington.
Steuben began at once to put the
continental army in army form. By
Ins skill, his firmness and high char
acter he was able to make the ragged
armv understand what :v needed.
In brief time it understood what was
needed to make it really effective- and
from that moment there began to be
ifts of sunlight throught the pall
Jiat had so long shadowed tho land.
So much, for early history. There
was not much change in national
bought until after the war of 1812.
Napoleon had sold Louisiana fo the
United States for a pittance but he
did is because he could not hold it
against Great Britain and his comfort
was that on that soil a power would
expand that would finally rival
Great Britain In every way.
By the way it was a German, Al
bert Gallatin, who was Jefferson's
closest advisor then and as secretary
of the treasury helped so much to
continue Hamilton's work and get
the finances of the nation in order.
In the meantime a large immigra
tion poured in from England and
Scotland and more especially Ireland
and every Irishman was at heart
an American when he embarked for I
this country.
After the Napoleon wars ceased,
the Germans began to come in great
er and greater numbers until at last
they exceeded all others.
In the Mexican war the Irish and
Germans, under our flag were es
pecially conspicuous.
Then came our great war o the
rebellion and when the life of the na
tion was hanging in the balance, the
lust for conquest seized upon Napol
eon 111 and the commercialism of
Great Britain as manifested through i armies show the distince nationallt-

and never ceased until our minister
to Great Britain, Charles Francis
Adams, informed Lord John Russell,
that if a certain ship then Hearing
completion was permitted to sail, it
would be held as an act of w ar by our
country. In the meantime most Eng
lish statesmen including Mr. Glad
stone, had declared in favor of inter
vention for the South, so had many
of her clergymen; our minister, Mr.
Adams, was treated with a rudeness
bordering on insult, and Henry Ward
Beecher, assaying to lecture in Eng
land, was assailed by hooting and
cat-calls for half an hour until by
sheer force of his intellect and mag
netism bullied the crowd into silence
and then charmed them into wild
cheering by his eloquence.
But when Lord John Russell and
Lord Palmerston decided to quit, two
things had happened. Ericsson had
built the Monitor which in Hampton
Roads served notice on both Great
Britain and France that their navies i
would be but paper ships in the event
of war. That was one thing. The
other was that when Napoleon III in
vited Russia to join with France and
Great Britain in intervention in fa
vor of the confederacy, Russia's pre
mier, Gortchakof, replied in a short
and sharp note declining and adding
that if such intervention was attemp
ted, Russia would construe it as an
act of war.
Then as soon as word could be sent
to the admirals of the Russian navy
in the Atlautic and Pacific, her At
lantic fleet swung into New York har
bor, her Pacific fleet into San Fran
cisco harbor and remained there
many weeks until all danger of in
tervention had passed. It was under
stood then and has never been au-
thoritively denied that both admirals
had instructions to report to our gov
ernmeni ror auty. After the war
closed Secretary Seward began nego
tiations for the purchase of Alaska.
It was not considered of very much
value und when the deal was closed
the people of this country who did
not know any better referred to it
as "Seward's folly." Thev have
changed their minds since and so
perhaps has Russia. There were two
singular features about that sale. One
was that Russia sold for where did
she ever before sell a great tract of
land? The other was the price paid
$7,240,000. If we believe what was
often stated at the time, that the $7,
000,000 was to reimburse Russia for
what she had done for us and that
the $240,000 was to pay her for what
she had spent for coal in serving us,
neither proposition seems out of rea
son. But really the service she per
formed for us could never be paid for
In money and our gratitude to her
should be an annuity drawing inter
est forever.
But while what the aristocracy, the
manufacturers, the great merchants
and ship companies of Great Britain
did in that war to destroy our ship
ping wnich was of greater tonnage
than that of Great Britain when the
war began, and what they did to rend
our country itself into fragments,
will always be remembered, we
should not forget that England's
great queen, her prince consort, a
few of her statesmen and the poor
employees who by tens of thousands
were made to suffer semi-starvation
because of the war; were true from
the first to last in their determina
tion that there must be no clash with
our country, no perpetuation of sla
very through their country's help.
But it was with bad grace that the
others relinquished their plan. Na
poleon III did not dare intervene
alone, but he sent an army to back
the Austrian prince who dreamed of
being sovereign of Mexico, and when
the Kearsarge ran the Alabama to
bay, and her commander, at last
forced to fight, went out from Cher
burg harbor to engage the Union ship
all the shore around Chorburg was
lined by thousands eager to see the
English-built ship, armed with Eng
lish guns and manned by volunteers
from the Britain naval reserve, sink
the Kearsarge, and when the result
was not quite as expected, an Eng
lish yacht was at hand to rescue the
American commander of the British
built ship and carry him away to
England.
In our war with Spain, all the sym
pathies of France and Germany were
with Spain, and their newspapers pic
tured with glee how Cervera's fleet
would sweep the paper warshins of
the United States from the sou. But
then Great Britain was our friend
and the service rendered Arimirnl
Dewey in Manila bay perhaps saved
our country from a war with Ger
many. At that time a distinguished
German in this country made a re
mark which was most significant.
When asked why Germany was so ur
gent In building a great navy, he re
plied: "One of these days she will
come over and poke a large hole In
your Monroe doctrine."
The foregoing only shows that na
tions are governed at least all but
our own by their own Internet
when an emergency comes. It Is
clear, too, why we cannot afford to
take sides in the present European
conflict.
In our great war our foremost
commander in the North was of
Scotch-Irish descent, the second was
Puritan descent; the foremost of
the Southern side came down from
the Cavaliers; while in Sheridan on
the North and Cleburne at the South
there was not a drop of blood in eith
er one that was not Irish. Then
there were Sigel and Schurtz and Os
terhaus and Bcores more of officers
and regiments, divisions and corps of
unmixed German soldiers.
