One Trait of American Character.

There is one trait of our national
character which foreigners can never
comprehend, and that is our unshakable
faith in our ability to "come out all
tight in the end. - We stand idly and
more or less indifferently by and allow
country to be pushed to the verge of a
financial OR political precipice under
the impulse of some kind Of popular
craze or another, entirely confident that
just before it slips over we can take
hold Of it and pull it back. We have
done this again and again, and nothing
seems to shake our faith in our ability
to repeat the operation whenever occa-
zion arises. It costs us enormously, not
only in reputation, but also in money,
and retards our growth and progress in
a thousand ways, but nothing seems
likely to cure us of the habit, unless it
be great national calamity due to our
failing in some crisis to take alarm
quickly enough. Century.
