When we make this comparison wo
may begin with physical advantages.
In this respect we ask in vain what
other country can surpass our own.
We have everything desirable in cli-
mate, soil, scenery, oceans, rivers,
lakes, mountains, plains, forests, quur-
mines or skies that any other na-
tion can claim—all that a continent
give. None can boast more. What
can boast as much?
hen we have liberty. Ours was tho
great nation in tho world which en-
tirely removed every vestige of mon-
hy We govern ourselves absolute-
ly just aawo wish, and there is no in-
herited sovereignty. Our liberty is
settled ami assured. France has its
imperialists and royalists, and still
fears a revolution. Hrazil is a great
republic, but it has not passed the rev-
olutionary stage. We have no royal-
ists or revolutionists. There is no gov-
ernment on tho globe which better
protects the equal rights and just lib-
erties of its citizens.
Then wo have intelligence. Nowhere
In the world is education more diffused
than it is over the larger part of our
country. Everyone reads. Schools
and colleges are every where, and as a
result every new contrivance for the
comfort of man is cither originated oi
immediately applied among us.
Then we have no fear of war. We
have no standing army to burden us.
Our taxes are light. Our earnings are
our own. Our young men are not
forced into barracks, nor are our
women left to till our fields. It is a
