Show The outcry ngUnt the purchase by Btltlsh agenls of hoises, mules nnd provisions In this country, Is unreasonable. unreason-able. If the Boers were able to do the wtmo, we would sell to oach Impai-tlally. Impai-tlally. and the fact that they are not, cannot be pleaded as a bar to our light of trade, for It Is the American right even more than the British right thai Is assailed Should we deny this right nt pure hate, and war uhould break out between Germany and Trance, (sa, for example.) each would plead that we hud no light to sell to the other. Whereas our right lo fell to both Is undisputed and could not be ni.nU led Though Uteat Britain gets tho advantage Just now. that Is no tea-son tea-son why we should set up precedents to Injure our own commerce and make ttouble for ourselves hereafter. |
