This fear seems to be based upon

radical differences between the in
tcrests of the east and those OF the
west. | fail to recognize any dif-
ferences. Whatever may be the pro-
v;ncial ideas OF some few of the peo-
pie of either section, the great mass

one. country and one people. The
yitalizing blood of commerce must
flow with equal freedom through the

enc side of it should be vitalic and
the other side anemic at the same
timc.
"Wc are big country, and it is
a long distance from the Atlantic TO

many years have been trying to ad-
just our lenses so as to enable Us
to see and understand the eastern sit
uation. From what I have read Of
late in some OF our metropolitan
dailies of the Atlantic states, think
we may be excused if we mildly sug-
gest to some of them that they so
adjust their optics as to see not only
over the Alleghenies, but also to conf
pass in their vision that vast empire
watered by the Mississippi and its
and that further region
reaching to our Pacific coast. We
not only need in the United States
who have reasonable
acquaintance with the industries OF
each and every part of this country,
its finances and its commerce, from
Boston to Portland and from Cam
ada to the gulf--men who can sympa-
!hize with the necessities and the
aspirations of every section, but
think l can say with equal candor
that we need an American press that
will be equally broad and sympa
thetic in its views"
