RESOLUTIONS FOR THE COSMOPOLITAN LABOUR MEETING.
(Compiled with due regard to the International Idiosyncrasies.)
French.—That France contains the World, and Paris France.
Belgium.—That on the whole, the Slave Trade should be discouraged, as it cannot be made to yield more than a safe 7 per cent.
Germany.—That the best way of showing love for the Fatherland is to live in every other part of the universe.
Spain.—That it will be for the benefit of mankind to exterminate the Portuguese.
Portugal.—That the interests of civilisation will be advanced by the annihilation of the Spanish.
Russian.—That dynamite literally raises not only the mansions of the nobles, but betters the homes of those who have been serfs.
British.—That the equality of man is proved by the fact that one Englishman is worth a dozen foreigners.
American.—That everybody (except citizens of the U.S.A.) pay half a dollar to the Treasurer right off the reel slick away, and that the sum so collected be equally divided amongst those present.
