! United states, whose sustalnment
under the expressions Of autocratic and
monarchisl tyranny and injustice was
the hope that home in the new world
for themselves or their posterity was
waiting the hour Of their expatriation
have seen this idol shattered. The
cabins Of the European peasantry are
in darkness for the light that illumened
them has been extnguished ia the
blood Of heroes, and the great Republic
to whom by universal consent was in
trusted the torch has abetted aud per-
mitted the assassination Of Free Gov
eminent at home and abroad
Better grave in the Transvaal than
citizenship in plutocracyl
And more preferable the rock of st.
Helena, the dungeon Of Cape Town or
the fevered death of Ceylon than sub
mission to tyraLts,
The brave of every cline will sing the
requiem Of the heroic Dutch burgers
whose last great stand for Liberty has
electrified the world, but better this
requiem for the dead who fell in defense
of hearth and home than the Groom of
the coward for the living who wear the
shackles of the slave.
We are invited to join in the pean Of
rejoicing at the expanding greatness, and
the development as a world power of the
republic of Washington; its richness, It's
granduer its magniicence and its re-
sources are the marvel Of the age, but we
would rather be heir to the poverty, the
desoation and the ruin which the ruth
less hand Of England has wrought in the
land OF the liberty loving Boer, than the
slick fed sycophant, lhe gold embroidered
satrap, or the cringng senatorial degen-
crate, who fawns or licks the aims giving
hands Of the Trusts exalted agent in the
White house
We "woull sooner be dog and bay
the moon" than an American citizen who
finds cause for rejoicements in the triumph
Of the aristocracy of England over the
pure hearted God fearing and liberty
loving Boer, or who secs the exaltation
of his country in the friendship oralliance
0! the monarchical assassin of the Dutch
republics.
The consent Of the governed " the
shibbolcth OF Democracy, islow heresy
and they who raise their voices in EN-.
phasizing it as the basic principl Of es.
tablished aud righteous government are
stigmatized as Anarchists. lie who
was the secretary and biographer of the
greatest tOfcOmmOners, Abraham Lincoln,
is now the ruling spirit of an American
cabinet which will go down in history as
slavishly pro British in its foreign policy, |
and the subservient agent OF home !
plutocracy and arrogant Imperialism.
The Republic Of the Fathers has :
passed awsy aud the antique Roman
Imperialistic substitute has been .
launched on its career of colonial eX-
pansion and domestic degradation. No |
longer the refuge of the oppressed, but
the alley Of the oppressor the hopes
and aspirations of the European imi-
grant and the native citizen are alike
blasted, and the privilege of free gov
ernment is pathetically manifested in
the eapathy,with whichthe masses of the
people accept, if not endorse, the plu-
tocratic revolution.
The shroudless Boer in his native
veldt and well defended kopje sleeps
by the hand of the monarchial assas
sin, while freedom chants the dirge of
the brave defender of altar and Of fire
side.
Monarchist, aristocrat, plutocrat and
eXpansionist in the unholy alliance of
successful assassination triumphantly
dictate conditions of "life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness for the peo-
pie, and behold how these inalienable
rights are enjoyed where the flags of
England and America waive above
conquered province and betrayed com
mon wealth
The surviving burgers, whose valor
in the field and deathless love of free
dom have won the admiration of all in
whose breasts the divine spark of lib.
erty is not yet eXtinguished, are assured
of the fraternal fellowship Of millions
of Americans yet unconupted by the
ssnoils of conquest pndazzled by the
snowy splehdors Of imperialistic trap
pings and uuintimidat5d by the glare
of bayonets which surround, with the
other accessories Of kingly polnp and
magnificence theRulers sofastunned and
bewildered nation, who were until the
rise and successful revolution Of plutoc-
racy the simple servants Of a free .
people.
To the glorious dead Of Transvaal and .
Free State these millions of American
born freemen, with reverential spirit,
bow their heads in salutation of the |.
brave.
