What America Has Done fer
EurODe.ss

The voyage of Columbus in 1892 vas
in many respects the GREATEST even3
which had occurred in the world
since the birth of Christ. Politically
and socially it was the beginning OF
new chapter in human history, and
it wrought effects upon mems specu-
lati 9 thinking which, though per-
haps Less conspicuous, were not less
real or remarkable. In much more
than the mere geographical sense Was
it the discovery oil new world. 1t
was the first in q complicated series
OF events which four centuries have
not fully rounded into period; the
foundation of a new Europe in Amer
lea, in Africa, in Australia and in
the islands of the Pacific; the rise Of
the English race to political and
commercial supremacy, and the I'D
vance of the English Language to-
ward what may become universal
dominion; the Reorganization of gov
eminent upon a higher plane than
the middle ages had even been able
to ioreshadoW; the renovation OF
society in the old Europe through
countless subtle influences; the per-
manent triumph of the industrial
over the predatory spirit; the success.
full assertion of individual freedom
against the paralyzing absolutism in.
herited from the Roman empire; the
overthrow of sacerdotalism, and the
Characterization of the world. It
would probably be too mach to assert
that some OF these desirable results
might not have been attained, 80 far
as the old Europe is concerned, even
if the lands beyond the sea had never
been explored and colonized. It Is
unquestionable, however, that the
progress would have been much
slower and much more subject to in
tsrruption. The part performed by
England, for example, in the work OF
European civilization since the age OF
Elizabeth has been so immense and
so complicated that no elaborateness
of analytic description can do it JUS
tice. Yet England in Elizsbeth's tin e
was hardly q first class power, and
but for the colonization OF America in
the seventeenth century it is difficult
to see in what way she would SO
surely or go soon have gained the
commercial supremacy which gave
her in the eighteenth the dominion
of the ocean, and thus secured her
the foremost position in the world.
To those-snd there are many such
in America-Who are in the habit oil
regarding American history as a dry
and uuinteresting study. it may be a
profitable matter CT reflection that
since Che beginning of the seven
teeth century it is impossible to fol.
low intelligently the affairs of the old
Europe through a single generation
without constant reference to the New
World.-John Fske in Harper's Mag
QzIne, .
