Indian territory. as well as those liv-
ing outside the territory but doing
business with territory firms. are
greatly worked up over the condition

this lawlessness. that Is 10 make n

This can only properly be done by adj

Tho Economic Systems of England and tia
Emitted states Compared.


The United States and Great Brit.
ain are the chief commercial rivals of
the world. Sharing alike the world
conqucring Anglo-Saxon blood, and
advancing side by side in the great
march of progress, still they are in
many respects exact opposites In ma
tional conditions and policies. En-
Gland seated on her ''snng little isle"
reaches out with her mighty navy TO
the uLtermost ends of the earth, and
plays her hand in the greatgam OF ma
tions. There is no continent where her
flag does not float. no sea that does
not bear her commerce, and no harbor
where her drum beat is not heard.
The policy of the United States ever
since the days OF Washington has
been the opposite. A continental and
not colonial policy. While England
has spread herself over the world, the
American people has devoted itself TO
building up America.
The result has been that to-day we
may claim, without boasting, the lead
ing place among the nations-first In
natural resources, first in agriculture,
and first in domestic commerce. We
have railroads sufficient 20 girdle the
world more than seven times. We
have increased in population, in
wealth, In manufactures, and In the dis
tribution OF wealth more rapidly than
any other nation on the globe or that
ever existed 1t has not been our pol
icy TO reach out and spread ourselves
over the whole world. but rather to
make America the best and richestI
country in the world, with the most\
intelligent, most comfortable, and
most enterprising people.
