THIS COUNTRY IS SUPERIOR

Cincinnati Capitalist Declares We Excel in Every Essential Respect— Make* Comparison.

Baltimore, Md.—“lf any man doubts that this country is not superior in] every essential respect to all othef lands, let him go abroad and make comparisons,” said Mr. Frank Lj Perln, a well-known Cincinnati capitalist, while in the city the other day. “Such an experience will prove of benefit, for It will open the eyes of the most confirmed American pessimist to the advantages of Yankee- 1 land.’ If nothing else will do it, the experience on French and Italian railroads, where they charge you five cents a mile for inferior transportation facilities, will make one think of the infinitely swifter, cheaper and more comfortable trains of the United States.

“While I do not sympathize with| some of the tendencies of the present day, I still maintain that we are tar in advance of the nations of Europe and that to be bora in Uncle country and to remain under his flag is the happiest human destiny.”
