he directed against them. The OutIand-
ers paid nine-tenths of the taxes and yet
had little or no voice in the government
All that is wanted by the Outlanders,
said Mr.. Hammond, is the establishment
of the principle that there shall be no
taxation without representation.
In Mr. Hammond's opinion, the pres
ent strife was forced upon President
Kruger by his inability to longer con-
troll the widespread conspiracy he had
built up against England Dom Paul,
said Mr.. Hammond, was waiting for a
rupture between Great Britain and
some other power when he would make
his effort to attain independence. For
many years the Beers were actively
pursuing a scheme of conspiracy for
driving the English from South Africa
and were buying guns, building fortii-
cations and hiring foreign officers in an
ticipation of a conflict.
It might be supposed that Mr.. Ham
mond was prejudiced in the matter in
favor of the English because of his
participation in movements against the
Beers, but, he claims, this view of the
matter would be wrong. He spoke as an
American, he said, and put the facts of
the case plainly before his auditors.
