Tho ability of the Republic to place and maintain 3,000,000 soldiers in line for defence or for rotributory attack makes this nation more independent on land than any other, This is not au empty phrase. Even Great Britain is aware that a war which tho two English speaking nations aro far from de siring might alter the map of this contiueut France and Germany have possessions on this side of tho ocean and in distant seas, Evon Russia, so. long called im pregnable, could bo shut out from future access to ltcific waters by a controversv with tho United States. Her power is great but that'fractiou of it which could bo moved thousands of mile by one lino of road across Siberia is not great. Threatening none of theso Powers,, anxious to preserve an ciont friendship with them all, tho republic has a peculiar inde pendence because it cannot bo successfully assailed, except so far as assault by sea can iullict injury to its ports. But behind, its coast lines tho vast area neyer touched by, hostile foot, crowded; with thriving industries and! peaceful homes, all secure against; attack and capable of command-! ing the wealth of the world,; would still remain after any iuva-i sion. r , Independence requires food,! iron and coal.

How long other na tions would continue able to obtain supplies of fooil, if en gaged in coutest with the worlds greatest food producer, and with tho ocean swept by its commerce destroyers, this nation sincerely 1dra TiATcr.iQjearn by practi- cal trial. ; i But independence on land, in dependence in industries, in resources for war and in food for peace, render this nation pecu liarly independent of foreign die tation from every quarter.

He feels miserable and "but of sorts" but tries to bluff it off until he gets flat on his back, unable to do a stroke of work.
