This talk IN the press dispatches ana
IN the editorials OF leading papers
about blood being thicker than water
and other silly stun, Is all nonsense
when reference TO England Is made.
England Is a great country anc It's pee
pie are generally good citizens OF any
government under which their lot Is
east, but the United states Is not En-
glish or even one eighteenth English.
The people OF the United States hsvs
but very small percentage Of En-
gllsh blood IN their veins probably hve
10 seven per cent. The German blood
predominates next 10 the Irish Ia the
people Of this country. Then the
scandinavian element comes next, An
alliance with England simply because
both nations use the same language Is
sentimentally absurd; almost idiotic
This Anglo.maniasm should be called
down and the correspondents. writer's,
editors and people talking II up should
be Informed as 10 who and what En-.
land Is. Though England 20 day has
good laws IN most Of lts dominions, II
Is starving people 90 death 10 India and
Ireland by robbing through taxation
Through the unjust tax laws imposed
on ireland hundreds are dying this
winter of starvation While the whole
crop OF a poor farmer Is taken to pay
The rent aud himself and family are
eyicted; thrown out on the road To die,
lne English press audaciously remarks
that Spain Is q blood-thirsty nation
and should lose cuba. During the
season of li!is, just 100 years ago, u
revolution occurred in ireland. IL was
revolution against the most hldeous
injustice and oppression ever known
among civilized people. What did
England doS England sent her hired
assassins and inurderers 90 slaughter
The poor people ia their homes just to
strike terror In the popular mind. En-
gland butchered aud starved more peo'
pie then han did Spain,in the 400 years
Of rule Cuba. Spain has continual

sbutcher neople, while England has
itontinuci 10 add 10 her domain by
'murderias, starving and conquering
by MONEY. Her whole history In
Africa aud Asia has been one of blood
shed. Arl this is the nation that
wants 10 cecoy the United States into
an allianc, by soft TAX. May the all
kind Providence defend and save us
from our riends II England is counted
one. The secret OF Great Brltian's
anxiety g. orm an alliance with the
