of England are subject to the same dicta-
ton, and that what is good enough Tor
Englshmen must be good enough for
their unworthy descendants. On tins
side of the Atlantic there is great promise
for a glorious future FOR the Unitcd
States in what you have already accom-
plished in securing British protection
against all foreign powers. particularly
against the powerful and hostile republics
of Mexico and South America and IN Sc
curing her maiesty's management OF our
domestic financial policy. syass
I'm times past our tariff legislation has
created quite as much injurious and un-
natural friction between the mother coun-
try and ourselves as our financial legisla-
tion did before you induced England to
resume her ancient and rightful iurisdic-
tion in that respect. May we indulge the
hope that your fidelity to the British
crown has secured you such influence as
will enable you to induce the other
country to take charge of and regulate our
commercial relations in such manner as
will rival the unpleasant and unnatural
disagreements between the two countries
with regard to tariff legislation?
why should England be more unwill-
ng to regulate customs duesIthan to Iegu-
late our foreign relations and govern our
financial policy? You have made great
progress in establishing the statu quo
which existed prior to the rash and un-
reasonable conduct of our ancestors in
1776 and in abrogating the unnatural re-
strictions found in that instrument OF IN
subordination known as the constitution
of the United States. The folly of the
provisions in that instrument inaugural
ing an independent financial policy is no
more apparent than the wicked and alb
surd provision authorizing duties on i'm
ports. Your success in eliminating from
the constitution the insolent as
sumption of an Independent financial
policy for the United States inspire a
reasonable hope that yoL may be able IN
the near future not only to render abso-
lutte that other preposterous assumption
found in the pretended authority in the
aforesaid insubordinate instrument to
raise revenues by duties on imports but
also to remove every other unnatural OBJ
struction to the legal authority of Great
Britain to manage and control our domes-
tic affairs from the same magnanimous
and disinterested motives that manages
and controls its own foreign affairs. The
people of these misguided colonies look
to you and you alone for deliverance from
all the caamties resulting from the mis-
conduct of our rebellious ancestors, re-
quiring of us only such acts of penitence
and submission as will heal the wounds,
remove the aninsosities and restore the
cordial relations which once existed be-
tween people of the same blood and
lineage.
do not be discouraged by the crazy
clamor' OF unthinking cranks' for an in
dependent financial policy or for an in
dependent foreign policy for the United
States. but continue to regard such unrea-
sonable contentious :as resulting from
narrow prejudice. engendered ny such re-
bells, fanatics an anarchists as Washing
ton, Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, jack
son, Lincoln and their deluded followers.
Cease to be astonished at the unreason-
able opposition of the senate to your ben
eficent policy and continue to treat with
contempG the vile insirnations, the impro
per motives in discounting bonds to the
Rothschilds to secure protection and
prosperity for our beloved country. Keep
an eve single to the glory ana renown
and the imperishable name you will leave
to posterity by achieving union of 1885,,
100000 OF English speaking people under
the benign and unseltisla rule of the Brit
ish crown. Yours respectfully.
