THE DEcADENCE or SPAIN.


Cuba has for many years been the
mainstay Of Spain, whose decline as a
nation began long before those of the
present generation can remember. Few
now living can recollect when Spain
stood foremost among the great ma
tions OF the world with colonial pos
sessions extended in all directions.
Then why this terrible downfall? The
answer to this question is not difficult
to make. and proves that the exper-
fences OF both nations and individuals
are similar, when they depart from
rectitude and abuse the power that
they have gained through good for
tune and prosperity.
From the time of Columbus forward,
the success OF Spain in her conquests
made her the ruling power over a
great part Of the world, as well as the
wealthiest Of nations. What would
have been the result II she had used
this power and wealth for the advance
ment OF civilization? No one will ever
know, for while England was laying
the foundation OF her present great
ness, Spain, by the abuse OF her power
and extravaganza, was laying the
foundation for her present downfall
She began by slaughtering the Indians,
and ended by domineering over her
white colonies in a manner which
eventually drove them from her.
Anyone would suppose Spain's first
experience with her American colonies
would have taught her wisdom, but
this was not so. She learnt nothing
from that She was too bigoted and
conceited to learn from passing events,
and so while the whole world was
moving on, the proud Spaniards re-
mained stationary and never attempt
ed to shake of the bigotry OF the mid
die ages, which still overshadows
them, enabling them to believe that
Spain is even now among the great ma
tions Of the earth.
Pride has prevented Spain from see
ing her own downfall A more broad
minded people would have appreciated
the condition Of things long before
their last and most valuable colonial
possession was about to slip away
from them. Under the new order OF
things, England's colonial possessions
are proud of their connection with the
mother country, for England was wise
enough to take a lesson from the
American revolution and her depend.
encies with the exception of Ireland)
are allowed as much freedom as hel
own people
The people of Cuba, many of whom
are Spaniards, are to a great extent i'm
bued with Spanish ideas, OF they woulC
have obtained their freedom befor,
this AS 1t is, Spain is helpless to pre-
vent it. Bankrupt and divided in he
counsels, she cannot continue to wage
war Of determination much longer, an,
it is too late for her now to enter upoi
a more civilized policy. Cuba will b.
free, and Spain will cease to exists as
proud monarchy. She will come to al
end from the weight of pride, supersti
tion and mendacity, which she has ere
ated to bring about her own downfall.
