this thriving democracy, supposed Ia
Europe to be chiefly populated by money
makers, Instead Of by mere workers for
br,sd-and-batter, which We on the spot
kno~ to ie the ca.e. Americans of pure
strain are indubltsbly more capable Of
making money than the people of any
other nation, because they are more In
telllgent, more developed, mor- prscti-
cal, are better educated, and require
more con,enieDces and redundsDcies.

the future. because. perhaps, they are
