Abstract

The article discusses issues related to the U.S. diplomacy and Africa. If there is any channel by which the American people could he brought to a realizing sense, as the revivalists used to say, of the huge and collective wrong it is doing itself in the continuance of the fantastic system of foreign representation which it supposes to be diplomatic, but which resembles diplomacy as much as the general training of a company of New England militia in 1859 does the drill of a regiment of the German Emperor's Guard. According to another discussion traders ingratiate themselves by presents of rifles, gunpowder, lead and brandy. Devoted missionaries, promising blessings in this world and this next, are civilly received.
