pathway for civilization. With unbound
ed mineral resources and fertile acres
stretching from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, we should be able TO stand alone
without leaning upon the effete monarch
Use of Europe for financial support. The
famous English statistician, Michael G.
MulhaH, recently published in the North
American Review an article on THE
Power and Wealth of the United States
He says:
IF we take survey of mankind in an
cient or modern times, as regards the
physical, mechanical and intellectual
force Of nations, we find nothing to COM
pare with the United States in this pres
ent year 1895 and the United States pos
sesses by far the greatest productive pow
err N the world
He asserts that the effective force of
the American people is fully three times
what it was in 1860. and that the United
states possesses almost as much ener-
gy as Great Britain, Germany and
France collectively. The ratio falling to
each American is more than what two
English men or Germans have at their
disposal He points out by a careful COM
parison between the conditions in these
countries that an ordinary farmland in
as three in England, four in France. five
in Germany OF SIX in Austria. One man
in America can produce as much flour as
will feed $50. whereas in Europe one man
feeds only 80 persons Mulhall calls es-
pecial attention to the fact that the in
tellcetual power Of the great republic is
in harmony with the industrial and me-
chanical, 81 per cent Of her total popua-
ton over years of age being able to read
and write. The writer sets forth in re-
gard to the growth of wealth of the Unit
ed States that the average annual mere
ment from 1921 to 1890 was 901 milliards
of dollars, which sum is one milliard over
the total wealth Of Great Britain.
If Mr.. Cleveland will only cultivate his
new found animosity against perfidious
Albion long enough to base it upon
grounds more relevant than a hazy
squabble about the Venezuelan border he
will stand better in history. The com
ing historian Of the next century Will
show Mr.. Cleveland bonding his country
for millions to England every few months
and at the same time making a grand
stand play to tickle the ears of the
groundlings.

succeeded in manipulating our financial
system so that while we are really as
rich in productive power as England,
France and Germany combined we are
constantly recurring supplant at the
feet of English money lenders and are
not in position even under grave
provocatiOn, to quarrel with our banker
We already owe more gold many times
over than there is gold in all the world
coined or available for coinage, and yet
are every few months compelled to issue
more millions of bonds pledging the
government TO pay still more gold. Our
financial system is bullying pyramid of
credit balanced upon slender apex of
gold. Of the nearly 500 of circulation
per capita only about S. is gold, so that
each s. of real money is sustaining SIS
OF representative or credit money
While such a condition prevails panics
are sure to follow each other at shorten
ing intervals. AS showing the grasp of
English capital in this country the fol-
lowing from the Boston Herald of Dec
81 will be interesting:
1t is impossible to arrive at and exact
idea of the amount of English capital in
this country, but approximate figures can
be given for some Of the leading forms Of
busienss. Several prominent foreign
bankers estimate that the investments OF
foreigners in American railway securities
alone amount to $780, 600 O00 of which
more than one-half represents English
investment. These figures, Of course re-
fer to their par value of securities, and
the cash value is considerably less.
Here are the names of several of the
railways whose securities are largely held
in England. The list is a very long one
but in the case of the companies here
mentioned the Englishmen have large
interest and in certain cases a controlling
interest:
New York Central. bonds and stock,
S157 900; Louisville & Nashville, $780,.
600. 900: Lake Shore. $92. 600 900: Wabash
s133OOO.O 900; Chicago. Milwaukee and ST.
Paul, 5000. 600. 000 Pennsylvania, 5000. OOO.-
900; Union Pacific, $3.50 900, 900; Phiadel-
phia and Reading. S1S1 100000 Northern
Pacific. $21S. 600: Erie S63. 600 900; Chi
cago and Northwestern, $50 600 900: New
York. Ontario and Western. $4,000. 900:
Southern Pacific. s415. 900; Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe. 1891 900. 900: Illinois
Central Sill 900, 600: Baltimore and Ohio.
$104 100000; Southern Railway, s244 ,OO0,-
600.
Another line in which English capital
cuts a very important figure is the in
Surance business. Here are the names of
a score of companies, with combined as
sets of $470 900. 600. which has grown rich
out of the revenues derived from the
American public: British American, Cal
edonian. Commercial Union. Imperial.
Lancashire. Lion Fire, Liverpool London
and Globe. London and Lancashire Lon
don Assurance, Manchester Fire, North
British and Mercantile. Northern. Nor
wich Union Fire, Palatne, Phoenix. Roy

interests held by the Englishmen in New
York and all the large cities, especially by
corporations which derive a handsome
profit amounting to millions annually,
can be only approximately determined.
This item alone is said to amount to $780,
000 900
q But the most vital part of the British
investments in this country is the COM
mercial credits. in which all trade rela-
lions between the two countries are in
volved. Millions of dollars worth of goods
are bought on credit or upon the partial
payment system and if Englishmen
were to demand the immediate payment
of these debts general commerce would
be temporarily paralyzed. This item
runs up into the hundred millions
To this might be added the millions of
acres of western farm lands owned by
British capital and the immense English
syndicates that own our stockyards,
breweries and other industries
OF course all this IS perfectly legal but
does it not present a Tar more serious
menace oour Institutions than a strain
ed violation of the Monroe doctrine as
applied to a boundary of Venezuela? The
Monroe doctrine simply means that the
United States as republic considers the
encroachment of a foreign monarchial
power upon this hemisphere as detri-
mental to our interests While Grover
Cleveland is shaking his fist at John Bull
because of an attempt to gain an increase
Of power in South America, the Irish
landlord. Viscount Scully. owns 5000 900
acres of farm land in Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska, a syndicate of English earls
and dukes owns 10000 900 acres in Texas,
and many more millions of acres re sim
:larly owned. If English ownership in
Venezuela is menace to our institutions
what is this land ownership IN the best
states Of the union?
In the last 20 years the annual export
Of this country have never been less than
$5000O0,000, and they have often amount
ed to twice as much. During the same
period the imports have ranged in value
from $500 100000 to $500 600 900. Our
total foreign commerce therefore for the
last 20 years has amounted to 81 900 OOO-
900. OF this immence commerce only
mere vestige was transported in Amer
can ships. For the year ending June 80.
1895. only 81 American ships visited IS
foreign ports and 10 Of these were pleas
ure yachts The aggregate tonnage of
these ships was 10000 TONS while the
total tonnage OF the foreign vessels that
entered and cleared from American ports
during the same year was 26,OOO,OO0 Of
course it IS not necessary to explain that
the commerce of our ports is carried in
English bottoms
1t is strange, in view of all these facts,
that many of the truly patriotic Ameri-
can citizens do not encourage the prev.
alent war talk. but hold the opinion that
America needs new, wise, statemanlike
and peaceful declaration of independ-
ence? If anyone doubts the ultimate
power of the United States to shake off
English domination, he has only to ex-
anime the unlimited resources of our
country to be convinced Civilization
