NIGH COMPLIMENT To The oHil LD
STArEs-We cannot forbear quoting the
following great, compliment paid 70 The
United STATES by Mr.. Golden, in ate
speech on his scheme or financial reform:
He said:
"Ameriea has three time, withib thg.
S last 10 years been in collision With two OF
the greatest Powers of the woffd-twice
with England, once with France. we
had the Maine boundary and Oregon ter:
ritory TO settle with the United Statesi
and America had her guarrel; with Frances
arising out Of IA claim for compensation
of Gl,0OO,OO0. which the French govern
ment refuse 10 pay. What was the issue
of those controversies When the claim
was refused by France, General Jackson;
at the head of the American Government.
published his declaration, that if the
money was not paid forthwith he wotild
seize French ships and pay himself. At
that time-I have it from Americans them:
selves-tle French had three times the
force Of ships Of war that America had;
Admiral Mackan was in the Gulf OF Flor
ida with fleet large enough 10 ravage the
whole coast of America and lombard her
towns but did France rush into war With
America? She paid the money: Why?
Because she knew we'll if she provoked an
unjust war. with the United States, the
men of war nothing compared with the
force that would swarm out Of every Ameti-
can port when broh ght into collision wiki
another country. France know that A.
merca had the largest mercantile marihet
and though at first the battle might be 10
the stronger in an armed fleet, in the end
it would be to that country which had the
greatest amount OF mercantile ship and
sailors.
"What was the case With England III
1915 there was talk Of war with America on
account Of Oregon: Bear it id mind that
I America never spent more than f l,200.-
600 on her navy. We are spending this
year s7,0uO,OO0 or Es,000,0OO; but will
anybody tell me that America fared worse 7;
in that dispute because her resources ia:
ships Of war were Inferior to ours =? Mo-,

exclaimed Mrs. Par,ington, in tone of
virluous Indignation, as size Happened TO
