The Central Amei ican InbroSiio-Is there a
United Policy Between the Three Great
Powsrs3
The newspaper correspondents at Washington
have suddenly broken out in steady cry that
there is complete union between the Cabinets
OF the United States, England and France, in re-
gard to the course to Ike pursued in Central
American and Mexican affairs.
Such chat as this may do to catch young
birds and tyros in politics and Cabinet craft; but
whoever has continuously and Systematically
studied the political history of European cabi-
nets and their relation with the United States will
place little faith in this sudden Abandonment OF
II system which has become traditional with the
Powers Of Europe. aud which has presented
strong evidences Of life in the ministerial organs
Of London .aris within the last few months
II Is in the material and intellectual progress of
this country that the arstocraiic rulers OF
Europe see the true danger which threatens the
existence OF their privileges. 1t is our commerce.
that is building up the power of their merchants
and manufacturers, and emboldenng them to
demand share of the government. 1t is our
example that is stimulating the hopes
Of their depressed millions and pushing
them on to demand the same individual freedom
of thought and action which We enjoy, untram
melled by the cheating pretensions Of protective
theories and the relentless chains of class degra
dation. The governing few of Europe plainly
sec how rapidly we are leveling the mountains
"f arrogance from the heights Of which they as
Srt their insolent privileges; and they know we'll
enough that every American triumph in poll
ties diplomacy, war, art science aud industry
brings them nearer to their fall, and the men OF
work TO their ultimate triumph in the world.
Upon this conviction is founded the policy
which guides the cabinets of Europe in their
relations with us. They accuse US OF inordinate
territorial greed, of insatiate ambition of power
Of an impudent disrespcct for their timc-honorcd
systems in politics, and Of an utter want Of
moral principle in government and law. They
proclaim themselves as the champions Of all ex.
listing civilization, and assert that it is incum-
bent upon them To put barrier to our barbaric
Development. In pursuit Of this self-imposed
duty they have ayailcd themselves Of every vile
IN politics, and even war, to attain their object.
We have no need Of argument to prove the sill
illness of the idea Mat there can be any
real unity Of purpose between tine Cabinet

rcs and dynastic aims and the Cabinet
