Our Abilities.

"People of European nations now
have a much greater respect for the
United States than they had previous
to the last two or three years. Our UNI
precedented prosperous condition. and
our ability 10 make money and ac-
eumulate wealth have placed US high
in their esteem. In Europe money is
tight, and here the contrary is the
rule. The Spanish war, demonstrating
our resources and ability TO act and act
quickly, opened their eyes"
This statement was made by j. T..

Illinois Central railroad, upon his re-
turn from Europe.
Foreigners are buying our goods in
greater quantity than ever before
continued Mr.. Harahan. Our machin-
cry far excels theirs, and they are pur-
chasing in our market. The cornmeal
exhibit at Paris, where an old colored
aunty made corn cakes, and distributed
them free of charge. attracted the at
tention of thousands. We will benefit
from it by selling more Of our corn.

of these will soon be free again. What
we need is more steamers to carry

We had he pleasure > Of listening to an
exposition of the not new doctrine of inn
perialism lass Friday night by the Rev.
Elisha Nudge Populisic candidate for
senator from this district, to prove that we
are approaching a despo,ism like that which
ruined ancient Rome To some Of us it is
evident that the Rev Nudge is not very
conversant with Roman history. If history
proves anything i, is "a fact that empires
have been reared over the ruins of re-
publics, where so established, because the
republics became so week as TO be unable
to preserve order and enforce the law A
condition Of anarchy has always preceded a
construction Of an empire. 1t was so in
Rome a, the time julius Caesar became
invested with the royal purple. 1t was so
in France and Napoleon | did not estab-
lish an empire until the people had become
demoralized by the Reign of Terror. "
1t was 50 in England after the death of
Cromwell but if he had left the reins of
government in a grasp like his own the
restoration Of the Stewards would never
have been possible; and so if an empire is
ever established in this country there will

be few left to mourn over the ruins of the
republic
1t may be well TO call the senator
attention to the fact that il was not expan
sion that ruined ancient Rome. but con
traction 1t was when the dregs of every
mpurity and oregn iniquity poured their
ipoisons into the Tiber, il was when the old
iron discipline yielded to luxury and gilded
corruption; it was when her youth had
grown debased and false. when all regard
for mans honor and woman's purity had
fragrant impostural and religion a dishonest
sham. You know how justly in long
slow agony her dominion crumbled away
under the assaults of her enemies, There
can be no danger of an empire IN this
country when a school house is on every
crossroads and the American flag flies
on every flagstaff, and the children are
taught the principles of the Declaration OF
independence together with the multiplied
ton table as part of the common school
education. Imperialism and ignorance go
hand in hand. No, my friend, it was not
expansion that ruined Rome, but contrac-
ton; dishonesty at home and dishonor
abroad
