mother country are compared with
your wise and conciliatory policy the
ingratitude of the American people
will
SHOCK THE sENsIBILITIEs
| OF all loyal subjects of the British
crown, and they will fully appreciate
the wisdom and patriotismt of your
Administration. The union of inter-
ests which you have secured between
Great Britain and her once rebellious
colonies shows the folly of an expen-
sive foreign policy in dealing with the
mother country when all our material
interests can be so well protected by
her own generous imperial power
Although the policy of relying on
British statesmanship is not new, you
have enlarged. illustrated and carried
into effect that policy in such man
ner as to make the American people
realize that the sovereign power to
coin money and maintain a financial
policy of our own is inconsistent with
that brotherly love and cordial SUBJ
mission which we owe that country
that gave birth 10 our ancestors, and
to whose fostering care we are in
debted for life, with such liberty as
the mother country will generously
bestow.
Thrice your predecessors sent dele
gates to British International Confer
ences to consult and receive instruc-
tons as to what financial legislation
the United States might adopt with
out interfering with the commercial
supremacy of Great Britain, and |
thrice our delegates have been in
structed to legislate as to enhance
tie holdings Of British creditors by
the supply of money of ulti-
mate payment to gold alone. Your
bold and vigorous action in carrying
into effect the instructions which our
delegates received from the mother
country establishes beyond controver-
sY your courage and your fidelity to
our benefactors on the other side of
the Atlantic. The miserable sugges-
ton that your policy is dictated by a
London syndicate of money changers
Is fully answered by the fact that the
people of England are subject to the
same dictation, and that what is good
enough for Englishmen must be good
enough for their unworthy descend
ants on this side of the Atlantic.
There is great promise for glorious
future for the United States in what
you have already accomplished in
SECURING BRITISH PROTECTION

arly against the powerful and hostile .
Republics of Mexico and South Amer =
