Mr. Phillips then proceeded to his lecture
proper, contrasting the peoples OF this coun-
try with those of Europe. He SAID Eng
lishman is bit Of rough stone American
is paving-stonc, smooth, round and pol
ished, because almost every man here has
something to gain from those about MIN,
and SO we tone down our opinions to suit
others. In the old country it is different.
Men will not forfeit their privileges there;
they will love fortune and estate first. L
have seen a cobbler in London take two
DAYS to finish one shoe. when he was only
paid tor one day, rather TIL an have the ar
ticle leave his shop less finished. He val
ued his name. A Yankee would value his
price. We say we have 30,0OO,OOO souls
here; 'tis not so there are not more than
100000 or only about half of us have
souls. GLaughterl In the days of our
fOrefathers nearly every man had soul.
They have not got it now. So there is an
individuality in people. 1t crops out IN
trities-in dress, in manners. Here we
all dress as well as we can. In
England people generally dress ac
cOrdiDg to their station. Here economy
is a skulking virtue. Abroad it is a virtue
proyIly acknowledged. SO, too, we OF the
Angio-Saxon race think any display of emo
ton efeminate; but on the Continent this is
not so. have seen Germans kissing one
another by the dozen. Imagine Sunset Cox
and Butler kissing each other. [Great
laughter. That is one great element. 1t
reappears everywhere, but there is coun-
tervailing one. In Europe the brain takes
gerry little thought of the work. We here
ore thoughtful over our work, and we are
so because we have been forced to. We
have had to subdue nature, marry the
oceans together by railroads; wehad great
deal Of work to do and very few hands to do
1t with; we make nature work for us. The
result is that Connecticut baby six months
DID, looks over the side of his cradle, plans
a model, and gets out patent for it. There
is another reason: The man that has the
biggest pile of dollars is the biggest man
here, and here there is possibility of ac-
cumulatng money; SO the American puts
money at the top and everything else below.
1t IS not so in Europe, although we think
1T 49, There is is a superabuEdance of
labor. When Horace Greeley saw man in
France working with an ill-shaped instrn-
ment to reap with he went to him and said:
why don't you get sey the! you could do
three days work In one," and the reply had

IN the Tribune The man said: because

IS seen all over Europe; there is too much
lapor ana there is no necessity for plan
ming. The next place where | shoald call

are better educated in Europe than we are
here; they have the brain as much as we.
but the direction of the brain is different:
their manners and culture there are better

by when we have time for it: at present we
are at work on nature; at present cutting
down trees, hauling up huge masses of ore
from the mine. Mr.. Phillips continued
to draw Humorous parallels bet yeen
the people Of this country and
those OF Europe. These differences.

teAoehcy OF the present age was for men to

OF any country could be Judged by the con-

because the women were nearer the condi,
