English and American, Is the domination
and control OF the whole earth Io-oay
the English language Is more uhlVersahy
spoken than any other. Two hitas OF al
the telegraph wires in the world are
owned by Englsh-speakinS people; TWO
thirds of all the gold and silvsr gotten
from the earth in the last ten years was
dug out by English-speakins men; their
minis coined tina bulk OF it. and they
use In their trade more rnan hair Oh
tho coined specie in existence, and own
more than one third Of the worlds sur
plus wealth.
IL the United States increases in popu-
lation at the same ratio it has done for
the last 100 years, in 1880 We shall nave
a population equal TO the whole present
population Of the globe, and England
will be quite our equal. In view OF oil
these facts Is it not the highest states
manship to look forward TO and prepare
for the inevitable ultimate alliance OF the
two great Engllsh-speaking peoples in
their onward career of domination. rather
than to foment troubles and quarrels.
which, while they may delay, cannot pre-
venr the ultimate results? It has been
at least three thousand years since 1t
was written: This day / Will begin to
put the dread Of thee upon the ma
lions that are under the whole heav-
ems, who shall bear report OF thee, and
shall trembe and be in anguish because
OF thee" Does not this apply to-day.
and are not all the nations OF the earth
trembling and in anguish to-day because
OF England? Even the mighty child,
these United States? 1t is fifty years
since Victor Hugo. with prophetic pen.

rumblins wheels of the chariot OF the
hour OF England?
1T will come; 1t is coming; It has
come. The whole world, aroused as by
some mighty galyanism, suddenly raises
a Wild cry OF love and admiration. and
throws itself into the bounteous bosom
of England. Henceforth there are no ma
tons, no peoples. but one and indlvisihle

to see that she has no foes of her own
faith and lineage. The world IL entering
now upon the beginning OF the era OF the
final competition of the races. There are
no more new worlds to take up. In the
great racial unfolding the crisis Is about
TO come. The battle for the survival OF
the fittest race for which the Anglo
Saxon has been schooled Is about to be-
gin. The prophecy. "And thy seed shall
be as the dust OF the earth: and thou
shalt spread abroad 10 the west and TO
east and to the north and to the south:
and In thee and thy seed shall all the
families OF the earth be blessed" Is about
TO be fulfilled. II Is by a reunited Eng
disappearing people that II will be full
filled, and II Is our duty to strive for
such a consummation.
