You are now shooting away millions and millions, and you will have a debt that is bound to burden industry.

On our side, we have a more recently mixed race than yours; you've begun to inbreed.

We have also (and therefore) more adaptability, a greater keenness of mind in our masses; we are Old-World men set free--free of classes and traditions and all that they connote.

Your so-called democracy is far behind ours.

Your aristocracy and your privileges necessarily bring a social and economic burden.
