To court Dame Fortunes tickle smile,
Assiduous wait upon her
And gather gear from every vile
That's JUSTIFIED by honor;
Not for to put it in hedge,
Nor for a train attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being Independent.
Thus did Burns clothe In verse a sen
timent which commends itself fully to
all honest minds who are content to
''live and let live," and who are not
carried away with an inordinate desire.
at any risk of principle, to possess all
they can see or hear of. no matter al
what cost of sorrow and detriment to
others. If, then, it is an object worthy
of attainment for individuals to be in
dependent, paying everyone MS dues,
giving to everyone just equivalent for
benefits received, keeping the adjust
ing hand upon the scales of
equity, dealing in all honor and
integrity - for no one can be
Independent who trespassess in any
degree beyond the bounds of honor
and integrity-ls it not, also, in much
greater degree, an object worthy OF
attainment for whole peoples to be
independent and able TO deaf honor
ably, not only amongst themselves but
also with other neigh boring and inter
commercial peoples2 But first of all
to be independent one must be as
nearly as possible self dependent and,
so far as a people is concerned, this
means self-supplying. In other words,
to take of the crude elements with
which their country is by Providence
supplied, and out of them form, create
and produce in the shape their sd-
vanced condition of civilization and re-
finement demands, the complete ar
ticles of utility required for their
subsistence. And the intelligence and
advanced civilization of a people are
determined by the crUdity or refine
ment of their surroundings even unto
luxury. For instance the crude savage
Is satisfied with a breachclout for
clothing and grasshoppers for food,
while men of advanced ciYiliza
ton need the choice viands for
lOOQ BLU RIdO6S VI up
to purple and fine linen requiring
mills and factories, the arti6cers' skill
and the nimbie fingers of countless
myriads of hands to satisfy, and the
intelligence, the brain power, by which
all these mills and factories are set in
motion. One cannot help feeling ad-
miratIon amounting to reverence, for
the intelligent power that devises and
arranges the massive yet delicate, iutrl-
cate machinery used in the manufac
lures; and that subtle combination of
fire and water, so long concealed from
the knowledge of man, which Is not
only the safety valve for industry and
morals, but the generative parent of in
TELLS ence, and the servant of
MANS REFINEMENT AND PROGRESS
Refinement and intelligence walk hand
in hand; refinement calls upon intelli-
genoe to satisfy its demands, and intel
ligence in turn requires refinement to
utilize its products, and the nearer q
people are TO the breach -ciouted savage
the farther they are from the refined
and civilized. and vice versa, the fur
Their removed from the evidences of re-
fined intelligence, the nearer they are to
the untutored savage. The first step
in the direction of the highest type OF
intelligent civilization is self-dependence
which is inder endence, and the first
step in this direction and the most dig
nified and worthy of attention is pro.
duction; next to this manufacture, next
trade. Of the various speculative bust
nesses that iced and fatten upon these
legitimate occupations, nothing much
need be written in this article; they
may have some good, they have much
evil. From among this class grow the
financial sharks and greedy monsters,
who unsettle the equi ibrium of bless
ings, cause the justice of the Almighty
to be impugned, illustrate the accursed
power that unjustly acquired riches
give, and show how mean, sordid, ar
bitrary and cruel human nature can be-
1t is conceded that to possess the
higher order of refinement it is phys
! lily impossible to be entirely indepen-
dent. In the mundane order of things,
there is a cosmopolitan principle that
makes each and every people find it
convenient, if not absolutely neces-
satv, to obtain from other peoples some
articles of necessity, which are more
readily, if not solely, produced in other
chimes in which the products are in
digenous. Thus the production of
some necessary articles is localized,
such as all tropical fruits and spices,
coffee, tea, and for long time sugar
was held to be susceptible of produc-
ton only in tropical chimes. But while
this principle Is conceded in general,
the charmed circle of these localized
productions is being narrowed, and
the industry and necessities, and in
many instances the cupidity of man
are making vast aggressive inroads
therein and diminishing to a very
notable extent the claims of certain
localities to being the sole producers Of
certain necessary articles. For instance
the hatred which Napoleon carried
against England was the prime cause Of
