Are We q Conuivtent NatlOn7

Are We Consistent NatlOnH
EDITOR ADVoCATE:-BrsVery is one
of the leading traits of American char
acter. The spirit which impelled the
fathers when they gave up home and
lifelong associations, and which sus-
tanned them In their struggle with wild
beasts and wilder men while they laid
the foundation of a free government,
has been transmitted through nearly
three centuries and Is to-day emulRted
by thousands of their descendants who
would be swift to strike were open In
suit offered to their flag and country.
Love of country has been taught to
the boys and girls whose parents have
composed the great "middle class"
(the yeomsnry) of our land. Pride Of
ancestry is common with US notw1th-
standing we look with contempt upon
thescion of "blue. bl CODED sriStocrscy,"
as the term is understood across the
seas. The typical American has a su'
preme degree Of contempt for the
family genealogy which extends back
to the Crlssdes, or to the days Of
knight errsntry, but If he knows thst
one of his ancestors faced the British
on some bloody field of the Revolution,
or eft with Jackson, " or marched with
sold Rough and Ready" or held up
the flag during the dark days of the
Rebellion, his heart sWells with pride
that is unknown to Europe's "nobil-
ity."
All of these things prove that Amer
lea, according to the conception of the
ideal American, is purely distinctive
country; that the history of her people
begins with her history and that her
citizenship is as purely distinctive Ia
peculiar, If you please people as 1t Ia
she is a distinctively separate country,
designed and set apart by an sll-wise
and oVerruling Creator for q specific
purpose, viz: to give birth to and nur'
ture q government under the shelter
and protection of which all persons
should have equal opportunities to
enjoy the rights of "life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" rights which
our forefsthers recognized as God
given, and so declared.
1t is not strange that Americans are
aggressive, positive, even dogmstic;
for their history has been one of con-
slant combat, either with human foes
or with the forces of wild nature, and
when we remember that in every con-
flict up to the present time victory has
perched upon Americas banners, we
are surprised that she does not rather
90 staggering around with q chip on
her shoulder, or invite everyone she
meets to "tresd on the tail o. me
cost," than pursue the pescesble way
In which she now travels.
Yes, her people are brave, They are

inclined to 60 forward. They really
believe that they are q free people,
therefore they are full Of confidence In
themselves, in their form of govern
ment and In the character and peEms-
nency Of their institutions.
But while we are q brave and enter
prlslng people, we are Eot q cunning
nor On svsriclou0 one, and If we may
Judge from present conditions, we
have been the dupes-the ViCtims-of
those who are both cunning and ava
riClous.
AS remarked at the beginning Of
this article, Americans are brave
physicslly-but are we cOnsiStentP We
allow ourselves to be despOiled Of what
the God of nature gives us, and be-
cause it has not cost our despOilers any
blood we quietly submit. AS an ex-
ample, notice the land question. An
area of the public lands more than four
times ss large as the State Of Kansas
gtUen to wealthy railroad corporations,
besides an amount Of money (bonds),
which, with interest guaranteed and
paid by the government, now aggre-
gates certainly more than lao million
dollars! Yet people say ''you can't
leglslste men rich"
But to return to the land question,
Had the men who engineered that vast
robbing scheme raised an srmy and in
vaded the territory where these lands
lay, how promptly would every Loyal
man have sprung to arms. There
would have been no question as to the
''braVery" of Americans then, and no
rest would have been taken until the
last invader had bitten the dust.
But cunning is more powerful than
armed forces, and by cunning was this
great despoliation to be broughtsbout'
AS q result Of the lavish giving away
Of the lands to corporations our gener-
ation-think Of it-has tamely "quit'
claimed" to sOullesS sggregations OF
wealth, "more of It's inherent rights,
more of the advantages Of progress,
more that sustains pride Of race and
national character than was ever
wrenched from any people by the
strong hand of armed power" And
what have we to show for all this9
Why, we have 10000 millionaireSl
We have million trsmpsI We have
more than princely wealth In one house,
and the most wretched squslor within
q stones throw Of it. What more can
the people wsntP Surely the cry OF
"oVerproduction' may be legitimately
raised herel
But can these evils be remedied
Yes, by reclsiming the lands as fast as
possible. AS fs- back as 1882, 100 mil
lion acres Of railroad lands were for
feited, yet Congress would not act

There are many hundreds OF old Confed-

ing and a resumption of gold exports
is announced TO begin next Tuesday by
one OF r1em. The Government also has
"A large sum of money deposited with
designated banks. and a call for por-
tlon OF this money may be made at any
time The movement In the interior has
not been. as yet. disturbing factor
but II will be seen readily Il at the out
look becomes moro complicated. IN view
OF the presence OF factors which were
absent last year. Then the rate for call
money ranged between u per cent. 1t
was never above 2ib per cent. when the
reserve was 100000 less than at pres
cnt. This. too, is in the face OF the fact
that n certain percentage or foreign
money is being loaned In the market.
The latter fact is significant, ana IL
is said IL has a bearing In delaying
call from the treasury for bank deposits.
The reserves OF many Of the New YORK
banks are already down TO The required
limit. and the outlook, despite the COM
PARSONS with last year, does not seem 10
favor easier rates at present. Inc eA-
PLANTATION OF this lies in the TACT that
tne conditions are more normal ana the
locking up OF n great deal OF money
by the bond transactions has counter
acted the initiation from which the coup-
try has been suffering since 1s9Z.
