Reference is made to the speech of Secretary of War
Maker, for which he was viciouslv attacked bv llie whole
coterie of republican orators, from the American with the
greatest teeth down to the teniale impersonators of Jerry
.Simpson.
.Mr. iJakcr in his remarks concerning the outrages com
mitted against Americans in Mexico, said that in all revo
lutions similar outrages were perpetrated, and that during
the revolutionary war in this country churches had been
robbed and burned bv troops connected with the forces of
General Washington. Then the howl arose that Mr.
linker was defaming the nieiiiorv of the nation's heroes,
and the four thousand three hundred ami twenty-first dis
coverer of the Hiver of 'Doubt demanded that the president
remove Mr. Baker 1 rom the cabinet.
As the average person never read any history but the
boastful slush that is supplied through our so-called school
histories, the noise made by Teddy Afrieanus found a good
many wlio were ready to sit on the lencc and watch the
night-'raiders tar and feather the secretary of war.
Ihe fact remains that Mr. iiaker spoke the truth, but
not the whole truth. We have heard much about the spirit
of '7G. During the past four months the average dema
gogue who denounced Wilson for not' making war in Mex
ico burst, all the buttons off his vest 'by his swelling when
he would ask, "What's become of the spirit of 76?"
It is but the echo of the old school histovv fable of how
the revolutionary soldiers -defeated the troops of Great
Britain and won the independence of this country.
Any student ol history knows that Amcnca owes her
independence 'to the English Whig pai'ty; and the naval
and military aid we received from "France and financial aid
furnished by Spain and Holland.
Lord Howe and his brother. Admiral Howe, Ave re in
command of military and naval forces that at onv time
during two years could have crushed the patriot army, and
did not do so, for the reason that Lord Howe Avas aligned
with the whig party, which opposed the war against the
colonics from the beginning, while the tory party upheld it.
the tones urged the king into the war. H the war was
successful the tory parly Avould be entrenched for a cen
tury, and the cause of English liberty would be imperiled.
This was the view taken by the whig leaders liurke, Pitc
ami I ''ox. liurke was an Irishman by birth, but American
tit heart, who believed in eoueili'atiiig the colonics if pos
sible, and if not. in letting them to. Fox" and the Duke of
Richmond ami the Rockingham whigs were in favor of
permitting the colonies to form an independent state.
During the first debates General (Lord) Howe was a
member of parliament, and on one occasion rose and of
fered a petition from his consttucnts at Nottingham, in
which the petitioners said, ''would be ruined, unless some
means was found of conciliating the Americans." This
petition Avas followed by others of like tenor from London,
Bristol and other cities.
When Howe Avns in command in America lie was not
fighting the Americans, but the tory party of England, -ind
the surest way of defeating the tory party headed by Lord
North was to prove that the Americans could not be sub
dued. Military critics have long agreed that he could have
destroyed Washington's army at will. During the winter
Washington Avas at Yallev Forge he had about "000 ill-
clad, hungry men, while Howe, but. a few miles away, had
20,000 well-equipped and disciplined troops.
Bancroft in his " History of the United States says:
"Howe could have easily surrounded Valley Forge and
taken all the Americans bv siege, without anv loss to speak
of. for the reason that they did not have enough supplies
in the American camp to keep them alive, even on starva
tion rations, for more than a week at the longest.
Howe knew this, for by March :000 of Washington's
troops had deserted to the British. hat tooil 1hc colon
ials did get was largely obtained bv robbing the farmers
when on their way to l'hiladelphia with their produce.
iiie patriots nad a loive organized lor tins purpose
under the command of Allan MeLaiie. They would often
whip loyalist market men and brand them in the hand with
the British army letters. "(!. R..' and send them into the
British lines.
A large number of the colonists were opposed to sev
erance ot the colonies Irom Great Britain. I hese people
were the subjects of all manner of outrages at the hands of
the patriots. They were tarred and feathered and whip
ped. 'and left tieil to trees in the Woods: their hollies were
robbed and riddled with bullets.
