bo filled with the
ignorant hatred of revolutionary days
against England. Resolutions of sym-
pnthy with the Boers are being passed
by gatherings of the people and public
bodies. They do not seem to know that
sympathy like charity begins nt home.
The Boers are a brave people , but a
foolish , selfish , narrow-minded , ignor
ant people. They wanted their whole
country to themselves , and only tolerated
others if they could make them pny
tribute. To that there is no objection
if the Boers were strong enough to do it.
They challenged fnte nnd will get it in
the neck. But the question for Ameri-
onus to decide is whether the success of
the British will not be bettor for Ameri-
onus finnncinlly than that of the Boers ?
There is no other. If British success
will enlarge our foreign markets , if
alliance with or moral support or rigid
nrntrality will bring money to us and
open more markets for our over-glutted
mnnufnctnrers then Americans should
be for British success. As for sympathy
with liberty that is all moonshine. The
liberty Americans want is a free market ,
nnd the more the better. John Bull
rnny hnve the business interest verv
aggressively developed , ( not much more
so than we have ) but every one knows
that he is the broadest kind of n fellow
nud boldest too in not fearing corupe-
tition in hin colonies. Open trade to nil
has been England's business policy. If
nil South Americn wore English colonies
is there n business ninn in the United
Stntes who does not know thnt it would
bo incomparably more ndvnutngeous to
our prosperity thnu the semi-revolution-
nry set of cut-throats thnt now control ,
or fnil to govern , South America at
present. John Bull has won the fame
and today not an American cares nu
iota nbout the future of South Africa ,
except to see John Bull extend his terri
tory. Again let it be said , in consider
ing all these questions , sympathy begins
nt homo , and the only question is what
course is most likely to increase our
export business. Nothing else.
