A Finan. ia[?] Tryant.

The English people are a very shrewd people, says a southern exchange. For ages, when not engaged in internal dissension, they have been milking the balance of the. world. There is not a country on the globe that has not. and is not now, paying tribute to Great Britain. The less civilized the nation the more she squeezes them. Sometimes her victims turn and fight. If it is not profitable to fight she soon makes peace, for nine times out of ten she is the aggressor. But because she makes peace it does not follow she will change her coarse. It is a determined power. They cut and come again in some other way, and generally get what they are after. Her power is pernicious and always fatal when she gets the influence she seeks. Look at Egypt, Turkey, India, China, South America and Mexico. All these countries have been her patrons. She traded almost exclusively with them, advised with them and "loaned them large sums of money. They have paid the penalty. England succeeded in impressing some of our statesmen with the fact that what is good for England is good for the United States. England maintains the single gold standard. It is what her bondholders and money lending syndicates demand, and we have American statesmen who seem ever willing to play int? the hands of this financial tyrant.
