Our Difficulties and Their Moral.

government to its everlasting honor and

aloof from the predatory conspiracies of
England. Germany, France, and Russia

China and have consistently befriended
her. But our own people, our own flesh
and blood, are now in dire peril. Many

Now comes the question: How are these
