All this is simple enough when you come to think of it. The English race as a race, are lovers of freedom and they have always been so fro‘mj ‘ Who days when mtuetant King John yielded the Magna Charter at Rnnx nymede, June 15,1215. The English people knew more of national free dom then than Spain knows today And what is more, the English have been working along on that line all ese 673 years, and hence every real : fipical, true Englishman and his de-l scendants are lovers of freedom, and’ they all speak of the Revolution!I which cost the Stuart King Charles;l the First, his head 1n 1649, and that of 1688 which cost James the Second his throne as the “glorious revolu (l Alon,‘ because it secured Englishmen " their rights.

One of them, and perhaps the most important, will be the fus- ing or welding into one solid world- wide force the English speaking na- tions. races, colonies and countries of the globe. Nothing has pleased and impressed us more than the sponta- neous, sincere and whole-hearted ut- terances of the leading English states- men, preachers and press, of love and sympathy for the American people in this struggle to blot Span- ish misrule. cruelty and bloodshed 03' this western continent. English- men. that is some Englishmen, made the grievous mistake of allowing their petty prejudices to warp their judg- ment, bias their feelings, and mislead their sympathies during the war "for the Union, especially during its ear- lier stages. But thirty years have opened their eyes; and besides, there is a new generation of Englishmen who know not, only as a tradition; the race of Tory bourbons who pro- claimed their love of slavery. Eng. lishmen of today, wherever found, in Yorkshire or Cornwall, or Australia, or India, or Hong Kong, or anywhere else, sympathize with us in this last struggle with despotism and cruelty: their hearts and ours beat as one.
