Was COLUMBUS A BENEFACroR?-Ch
d. Warner, OF the Hartford Courant, hardly
knows whether Columbus did a good thing
when he discovered this country, and moraliz. s
The Indians never thanked him. for ono
party, the Africans had small grounds TO he
gratifed for the market he opened to them,
He led Spain into dance of great expectations
which ended in her gorgeous ruin. He intro.
duced tobacco into Europe, and thereby laid
the foundation for more tracts and nervous
diseases than the Romans had in a thousand
years He introduced the potato into Ireland,
indirectly, and that caused such rapid in
crease of population that the great famine was
the result, and an enormous emigration to
New York-hence Tweed and Hail and the
constituency of the Ring. Columbus is really
responsible for New York.
