WHAT is HUMAN LIBERTY2
PART H.
Never before in the history of this world was
there grander and more inviting opportunity
to build up great and practical association of
freedom loving teings for the molding of the
character of great people, and the fitting of
them for the government OF themselves, and
of the world, than is now presented in the
United States of America.
Never was there time when the world was
more in need Of people Of great and strong
character than at the present time, to meet
the necessities of the present and the
impending future which hangs over Europe
like pail. and threatens havoc to its power
and civilization for the two extremes of Gov
eminent have met and shaken hands, and
sworn eternal enmity against and pledged mutu-
al assistance to each other in crushing their COM
mon enemies who stand in the way of their
aggrandizement; and the day Of carnage only
awaits signal from the great Northern despot
who watches for aud bides his time.
Whether it will be Germany or Great Britain
that will first feel the weight of this combina-
ton depends upon circumstances; but which
ever it is, both in turn will deeply suffer from
it, and the latter will only eventually be able
to save herself through the aid of her colo
mics.
1t will be only very narrow escape from
complete Russian supremacy in Europe for
France will only serve cats paw TO poke
Russian chestnuts out Of the fire, and when
she is found no longer useful to her great
Northern ally she will be set aside, aud eventu-
ally Muscovito cohorts will wipe her name from
| the map Of Europe.
My horoscope of the future. or my reading
of future history by the past, tells me that the
only hope of the preservation of human liberty
| lies in the formation OF great international
confederation Of the English-speaking natioual-
! ties of the world, with one common navy and
| army under the direction of an international
council for mutual protection aud defense; but
| in all things else, except currency, independent
| of each other.
This federation, or union could begin with
/ the United States and Canada without predju.
| dice to the interests the defense of Great
| Britain; the other colonies could be induced
to join il when they saw its utility, and above
all the necessity of it.
Aud eventually the mother country herself
would seek the shelter of its protecting wings,
ompleting the galaxy of Ang lo- Saxon national
| titles that would hold the seas and the COM
merce of the world in their grasp, and save the
| liberties of mankind from ambitious despots,
| OF DatlonS Lnat miRnt arise 10 assert their
| supremacy. There can be no question about
| it; the preservation of human liberty depends
| upon the amity and union of the several
branches of the Anglo. Saxon race, and the de-
velopment Of a sound Christian patriotism by
the teaching of its principles to each succeed
| ing generation.
The domination of this world will surely fall
into the hands of despotic Russia. unless the
English-speaking nationalities combine, as I
have indicated, to defeat her.
Have the people of America any choice in
this matter? Shall Russian or Apglo-Saxon in
| iuence prevailf
Who so ere talks of war between the United
States and Great Britain, set him aside for a
| mad man.
Canada will keep the peace by her independ-
ence. Canada wants neither annexation nor
! imperial federation; for either would be fatal
to her interests and the hopes of mankind.
| Here We rest the question.
