FOR 4 UNITED WEST.

Considerable interest is taken. in The East well
in the West. in n suggestion which The Republic
made days ago that the manufacturers aud
merchants of the whole West should take systematic
steps oppose the provrciasm of cities and States
of the East. The idea based the strong truth OF
fact. has been received with general appreciation.
One Of the most earnest letters of appreciation
which have been received written by Il high Official
in Washington. is indicative of the judgment which
the West is putting upon the East's department:
The Eastern colleges are crowded with
thousands and Thousands o Young
who think that there is nothing Of
the Atlantic ssaboard. and as soon as
they get d little money. ii they haven't al
ready got it. crowd of to Europe. and You
hear them talk about anyth!n;
when they back Europe exccp;
what they have IN Europe. Not
of probably been farther
Pttsbure. They have no more idea of
what their country contains than Zulu
They talk about the grand majestic peak
Mont Blanc, without knowing that
Pixies Peak is high. and in addition has
a railroad to summit They have got
idea that the people of Mis-
sissippi of different blood and
ton2lity.
This expression contains much o. the truth. but
not the whole truth: it is merely hint of the East
crn attitude toward the West The people of the
East have their bands on Western money and their
eyes on Europe: they consider the West coed enough
for picking and protit-makng. but worthy OF
helping adn,irng. The West. the official says.
is not. from the Eastern business mans standpoint
= part of til. United States proper and the Western
citizen is not man Of The same heart and profess
sion. but an alien.
The Republics suggestion contemplated move
mcrt in the West for protecting ard advancing the
interests Of the whole West Of the bound!css terri
tory lying and beyond tic Mississippi Rive.
The proposed movement would promote business re-
atons among the manufacturers and merchants OF
the West and friendliness among the States and
cities of the West. Tie purpose would be for the
West give itself its due from itself and impress
