 '"There can be no doubt that Amer ! ica is the dumping-grOun of Flu ropes refuse; it is the scum of h. i CT lands. It has no right to be called
 a. nation. Everything in the United i States seemed unwholesome- think l the desire for gold is so deep-rooted in Yankee that if he could beat his own father he would do it. In less
 than three generations the United ! States will be unfit for a civilized lady
 Or gentleman to live in.
 From the boy who shines your | boots, to the senator, they are na- i ton of boodlers. Americans are the
 cast-offs from every land on the face | of the earth.
 T saw a good deal of the American
 woman-in fact, most alP that she l could show me without exposing her self to Yankees anger
 | ''Verily Yankees women, and some
 times unwise ones, do not believe in l hiding the light of their charms un- l the time I had been in the states a month, I began to ask myself, was
 any woman in the land to be trusted? :?
 "'I was informed that in a | Western town there was not a vir-

 l Yankee is a. deadly assassin, worse l than a rattlesnake. Yankee is awful l ly brave, especially when it is 20 to 1. | Yankee does not care to fight with i his fists The American police are no
 more fitted for police than a barre; {; | they bear a resemblance to a walrus 1 on end.
 ''The standard of fair play, even l that of good taste, is not the same as | in England.
 Yankee is vulgar and ignorant. He wears tan shoes with a dress suit. The l typical American has no intellectual | ity- He has a neither lip like mo h. l erlesS foal reared on a whisky bot
 tie. His hair is cut tslop-bowP fash
 ion. He is sallow, with pointed, mar row jaw. Of this type are made mag 1 istraites, judges, etc Young men of | America. are Of the Iadvlike tyne Men l in America are effeminate-looking g. They are a mixture of poodle dog and 1 girl --.---=s
 l Ut is quite a rarity to Sc an Amer
 ican city-bred child with legs. Their poor little apologetic pipe-stems are | simply pitifuI. Already this process I instep. His foot is as fiat as pan | cake and as marrow as the trend of
 his mind.' His legs are thin, and so
 not infrequentIy is his body. He is a l tramcar. I visited the Philadelphia l University, and had a look through | the dental school there. I inquired
 carefully for the specialist who would not take on anything but canines. l

 s9In four generations, when the az l gressive newness of the Congressional
 Library at Washington has been ton

 The Capitol is shoddy.''
 The English writers of books, and 1 those who write for the press, have attacked and calumniated every ideal of our nationi1ood for generations, but | they have left the -virture of our l women unassailed until of late years 1 Where one heard a grudging cOmpli-
 ment paid to the virture of our wom- 1 en, now we hear the most cruel and | untruthful aSpersiOns cast upon them
 individually and coI' actively. There l is no use to renonstrate: they will tell 1 you that several English writers who visited the states have written in
 their books that the American woman i is simply rotten and they ought i sheep than lions; they herd c'ose to- i gether in their opinions, which they generally do not form for themselves, | and when the leader of the flock says i t.Rahr they all Bah, Bah.'' If he fsays s'Boo.'' they all Boo together. 1 They read ''Y, Americas Pern.'' be-
 cause the King read it. They like it
 for the same reason he liked it-be- cause it slammed it to the Yankee upStarts!'
 1 This particular writer says he came | away from America with nasty l taste in his mouth He says the first | hotel he stayed at was in San Fran
 cisco. and the walters looked like "a lot of dirty brigands.'
 i He evidently bears a most venom
 ous spleen for Washington, like the ] rest of his compatriots. He says he doesn't see how Washington could have been an American if he never ! lie oF ha "a hi n ton monument at Washington, he
 waxes torpidIy eloquent He says that Washington's monument is a mere elevator, ''and like everything in America. from justice on, it is hollow and corrupt He says the Washing l ton monument is typical of American
 usages and institutions-hollow and corrupt He adds: Yankee! Han- kee, Yankee! have you anything in your land that is not hoIlow?' He calls the American boys young Amer ican dascards. Poor, plt1ful little Yankees
 It is puzzIing and singular that the l only American he admires is Theo- l d0~e Roosevelt, of whom he speaks pityingly as Roosevelt, President of the Champion SpftterS of the World.'' Like many EDglishmen, he frets be- cause on our currency we have the words ''In God we Trust He says that this should be changed. It is to be wondered if the inspiration to eliminate In God we Trust from our currency during the term of office of the only American this Englishnan admired was done to salve the par ticular sensitiVenesS of this anti American Britisher.
 He says: The dollar is dirty in the West. It is positively filthy in the East, both metaphoricaIy and actual ly''
 The inscription s'In God we Trust is a lying religious inscription
 He says that he apostrophised a dead negro thus: 'tAy! winter than you, Yankee, except for about a hum dredth of. an inch Winter than you!'
