Permit me here to indulge the
hope that the good day is coming
when the position of the plain Ameri
can citizen will be so lofty that puny
princes of other countries will fade
in deserved insignificance by just
comparison. (Applause.) Then may
we see this reign of international
nuptial alliance, based upon a mon
grel mixture of wealth and titles of
nobility, run its course before an en
lightened, world-wide sentiment. My
duty would be unperformed if I did
not pause to here shed a tear of
sympathy with our scorned and dis
credited duchesses, countesses, and
princesses. Behold this item of news
from the public press, which meets
our gaze:
"Representative Sabath learns that
despite the millions which we send
along with our maidrniR nnd which
enrich the thin-blooded nobility of
Europe the compensation is not ade
quate. About the time they are
crowning a king we discover that
some of our heiresses who have
bought little coronets can not wear
them in the procession. Some obso
lete rule or regulation is revived,
and with gravity and solemnity they
are relegated to the stands erected
for the common people. A resolu
tion introduced by Mr. Sabath di
rects tho secretary of state to in
quire Into tho 'humiliation' that title
bearing American women are forced
to undergo; how many of these in
ternational alliances are being nego
tiated, and at what figures; whether
any of the coronets are made of
pewter or tin; and whether there
is danger of 'titleitis' becoming
chronic."
(Laughter.)
Our hearts and tears should go
out to these heiresses in their hour
of trial, as their las.t hopes fade into
the realm of cruel mockeries. But
the designs of our overambitious
plutocrats to not end there. They
now demand the great diplomatic
posts in tne cnier European capitals.
There they have placed the scale of
living so high that in some instances
our envoys have installed themselves
in viceregal magniflcance. Sumptu
ous palates and country estates have
been taken, the rentals of which are
so vast as to make the salaries paid
by this government appear utterly
contemptible and exceeding 20 times
the amount received from our treas
ury as their official emoluments.
Should not the blush of shame and
anger come to the face of every true
American wnen he realizes the dig
promised and abased in foreign
courts by envoys who maintain from
their private purses a style of living
characterizing the government send
ing them as a mere mendicant? The
time has come when thia humiliating
spectacle should be brought to a
close by" a decree coming: from: the
frear, andiminds. of the true. Ameri
can, citizens;. Perhaps the. trouble

."other governments;- havo .p.ur-,
sued! such course by thus establish
ing homes for their envoys in foreign
courts. That is the universal rule of
all the .more . important governments.
Europeans-.regard, not. so much tho
jjipu.uu.t yju ii, iujjjllluiu.hu resilience as
tho. fact Jthat it. is ,he,officiaV homo
ofr the government maintaining it.
An adequate home, in, any European,
capital" provided by this', government
for our, envoy becomes, by reason
of that fact alone, a place of. the
highest importance . and . dignity.
After such house has been provided
and equipped, by .our government, the
envoy, whether rich or poor, must
reside, in the style 'thus approved by
his country. In this manner the new
envoyr immediately, enters, upon, his
'arrival, into a w.ell-equipped .home,
the interior and exterior of which'
appear about the same, no matter
whether its occupant is an historian
or writer, like Bancroft, Motley, or
Taylor, or a multimillionaire, able
and eager to establish himself with
his own accidental riches in Water
loo palace or Devonshire house.
