The saniswer, I believe; is something like this: The predominant mood, ithat is to say, the one which is most general in the American people, and also the strongest is the mood of conservatism, that is to say, the will to ‘hold. on to what they have, to protect and maintain their property, their position in the comthey have felt: entirely secure in these things for a sufficiently long time, they become ready to deal with the accumulated abuses which conservative governments have neglected, They turn to the innovators, and their enthusiasm grows while obvious abuses are being corrected.
