Government bond Indicate that this rate of

value of money in thi country? Or doit it
indicate merely tbe continued distrust nd
th contcqueol accumulation of idle capitil?
Tbe SprtakfUldUepubllcan believe tbe 4 per
cent. Investments Imply "a great reduction
In all . Inter!," a "great cheapening ol all
capital," with relief to all induttrlei and en
terprises. Tblt I the hopeful view of the
matter. But tbere la anotbor view not to
rose colored. Tbe New York Timet tbink
tbe cbeepnar ot money represent not lit
wholtomu abundance, but tbe abtecce of da
tlrabl opportunities for lu Investment. And
that paper cilea tbe tbat when butlnet
loan are effected the rate charged fur ac
commodation bears no proportion to tb rat
allowed on deposit ot to tb price of con
tot and United State boodt. There'll
doobUet much truth In tbe statement ol tbe
Time. We bare not yet roacbed a proiper
uut eoadilioo. - W have only. laid the foun
dation npo wnion, wi patience and care
aud painful economy, we may rear tb sub
stantial s tincture ot genuine prosperity. Tbe
change from depression to activity, trom hard
ll es to prosperity, wiil be gradual. But at
least tbe change k going on, with a fair pros
pect ol continuance.
Tbe importance ol keeping tha btltnce of
trade within the United States Is generally
conceded at condition' preceedent to tbe
restoration of prosperity. Tbore seemt to be
00 good reaion wby thit tball uot be dooe,
especially iq our business relaiiont with the
older nation of th earth. Z(ulbiog but ex
trerlgance and improvidence on our part can
turn tbe tide agaiost us. The natural resour
ce ol this country are richer and mor easily
developed than those ot Europe. In lb sm
ile article of cot! Pennsylvania has bound
let wealth. Our Consul at Geneva reports a
very succaestul result ot the experiment ol
hipping American coal to that city. Be
writes that tbe test of tbis coal made at sever
al Swiss foundries established tba fact that
Iron made with it was a u per lor In firmness
sud texture to tbat made with Die coke ordin
arily employed ia Swltseriaod. It this State
ment proves to be accurate, tbe (acts report,
ed are my Important. Ot course the bigh
freight can only be overcome by tome decid
ed superiority in the quality of the coal. Our
agricultural product cannot be equaled in
abundance in the world. Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Kantat, Wisconsin Michigan i Ne
braska tar overmatch the wheat-growing re
gions of Hungary and Central Bussia. Tennessee-
and. Missouri are richer ia Iron ore
then Sweden nod Wales. Our mountains
(urnisn a perpetual source of supply, from
wblob we may take the precious metals.
More than all, our labor-saving machinery Is
tbs best ever produoed, aod our.skllled artis
ans are not behind the workers of any coun
try. We have in effect no standing army.
We pioJuce cheap food lor ourselves and
tends large surplus to feed others. Alto
Kelber, tbere seems to be no ressoa wby we
may not keep the balance of trade with us
and grow rloh rapidly. Timss Journal.

tbey enter, bovv at they have always Bone, '
Into every publlo question. When oor fSthers.
declared their Independence, and when1 they
afterwsrds framed tbe Constitution, their
leading lda was to avoid Us oehtrtlisstion
hich characterised tbe governments ol the
old world, Irom one of which they had Just
separated, after a long and orust' war.
Every drop of patriotic blood sbsd la tbat
unequal strife, every skeleton bleached upon
its battle-fields, every hou-of cold and bus
iter and agony in th lorg, dark winter at
Valloy Forge, every prayer that Went up
from sthe ' patriot ' mother for . ber sol-
disr ion, every tesr upon the grave of tbe
patriot dead, were each and all protests '
sgatnet ceotrallssUon.
For ages the only obj wt of government
had bred to enable tbe few to enjoy tba la-
bor aod property of tbe many, and even tbe
benign religion of oar Master had been some .
times tbe handmaid of centralisation,. Our
fathers, with a courage for which we oaa
never be sufficiently grateful, declared tbat
alt just government derived its power from
tbe content of tbe governed, and thai tbe
bei goverbment Is tbat which coders tha
greatest good upon tbe ' greatest number; ;
Upon this' basis tbey established tbs only r
true and Jresl republic- which ha ever exist
ed, and for tbis, I, their descendant, standing
In (bis historic halt, upon lbs prairies ,of tbe
far West, and In tbe center of tbat vast em
pire, which has come from tbeir matcble.s
courage, avouch this, tbeir t.reat deed, and
magnify their stored names!. ' -
Tha AMtm.m- ei eentwIUUlonvbav at -sorted
tbat when the framere of the Cjnitl
tution declared tbeir object to be the forma
tion of a more porfect government; tbey in
tended to abridge tbe rights of tbe States.
It it false. A more perfect government sim
ply meant one in which tbe rights of the
people would be more thoroughly protect
ed, and to tbat end the powers vested In
the diOereot departments of the government
more distinctly defined aod limited.
Unter the monarchlal system from which
our fathers bad escaped, Government was
something alien trom and antagonistic to
the people, an aristocracy In tbe air, to be
worshipped like a star Irom afar off, bjut not
to be touched by vntgar hands. Upon this
Infsmons superstition our fathers tracppled,
as they marked tbe snow with their bleeding
feet, and in lu stead they created tbe system
of State Government, comtag from and near
to the peoele, tbe system so clearly enuool.
ated la that clause ol tb Constitution which
declare tbat "tbe power not delegated to
the United Bit es by tb Constitution, nor
prohibited bv It to tbe States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people-."
Wbst could more clost-'y establish the
great troth noon which the L-mocrttle par
ty Is based, tbat tbe Federal Government is
the agent ot tbe States scting under a power
of attorney in tb shape of a written Ooov
stltutiont Interwoven with every fibre of
the party, this doctrine has given to It the
vitality whloh has outlived so many adversa
ries, and scryiyed to many disasters.
- Centralisation meant force, a authentic
