LORD STANLEY M.P. ON ENGLAND AND
AMERICA.
At the Liverpool banquet to the layers of as
Atlantic cable, Lord Stanley, in proposing "England
and America united" said:
What will be the effects of this sew state of things-
of this instantaneous communication between the ogl •
World and the New-s communication which will in a i
few you* extend over the whole of the civilized globe'
So far as our colonies are concerned much is obvious.
In all matter., civil or military, in which the Lorre
Government ought to interfere, it OW do so nod
infinitely more effect, because in critical times imps:-
tions founded on Informatioe • fortnight or • month o i
can be of very little practical value. So, again.
matters of trade. I suppose that the saving of Wow
will be considerable, and that some forms, at lea.: I
speculation will be in some degree checked eke
certainty is substituted for coojecatim--(hear, bar -
but to us in this country, and in the present rug, t!,
diplomatic aspect of the question is the moot important.
We are going to bring the people of England and d
the United States into • far closer connection with me
another than has ever existed before. That in in
mind, a great pin. Some one has stated the tee
opinion of foreign nations is an anticipation of it,*
judgment of prosperity; but, without adopting that
phrase absolutely, it is undoubtedly true that look"
on. not personally effected by the remits of tvhst has
being done, yet feeling in them • warm interest, are
thought to be able to judge better of what is paming
than those who are in the thick of the fray-(hear. Ms*
and cheers). I think, then, that England and Muria
are both in a position to gain mutually fair, temperer.
criticism of one another's proceedings. They have n,
opposite interest; united they are • match for tbe
world, while • quarrel between them would be s fearfe
injury not only to themselves, but to the best interests
of mankind-(cheern). The more they really hereof
one another the bettor. But there is something to hi
said on the other side, and I should not he doing my line e
here if I did not say it-there may be criticism which is not
fair, not temperate criticism, which a hasty, partial.
passionate. Perhaps on both sides of the water we bee
had • little too much of that-f" bear," and cheere.
But it does not result from hostility; on the gonteitY.
if it does not sound paradoxical to say so, I should ay
that it arises quite as much from en anxious desire
which both nations feel that the credit of those repo-
aentative institution' which are common to both should
by both be maintained-(hear). I do not suppose thst
criticism such as I have spoken of can ever wholly cos.
for I have sometimes thought that England and tis
United States are like two persona related by filmy
ties, both interested for the credit of their common
family, both of whom would be terry should eel riel
harm happen to the other; but not always aiming ‘e
ideas, and not being of • reticent disposition, homer
friendly, now and then use the privilege of relationship
to express an opinion of each other's aalra in a mance%
which, though it may be frank, is not always Odious.
and sgriembi•-(" hem, bear," and cheers). The Ir.L°
I draw from that is that now that we are going IC "
nearer neighbours we must learn to be 'permit' of ode
critici.m ourselves, and not too sensitive or imrsileri
when it is applied to us-(heae). We are bound to best
in mind that while • common language, if it bring* ce
the one hand, immense advantages, it has on the oth!'f
some responsibilites and some inconvenience,. In
private life, probably, no man speaks of his friends te
precisely the same terms he would use were they We!',

which they say of one smother is by the necessity of the

that we may use our new privileges as beets its both' 't
is in the deep conviction that on the union of the tr
nations, more than on nny other earthly thing. ILe
future of civilization depends, and it is with the e"e'''.
tion also that whoever wilfully or ignorant', egeeoS't
them one from another, is doing, on the whole , she ri„,
worst act a human being could commit-it is will, tioj
