The Nation’s Downward Drift

To him who has loved his country and her institutions, it is a sad sight to see her drifting to certain wreck and ruin out on the rocks of imperialism and greed. It was predicted by Daniel, it was predicted by John; and those who know the prophecies were sure it would come; but it is sad nevertheless. Her increase of the army to fight those who are struggling for liberty, the adoption of the Spooner Amendment, the breaking of plighted truth to Cuba, are all unmistakable evidences of the downward drift. But it is sad, and we sadly record it.
