expansion and perfection OF our own mechanic

of our own home market-n comparison with
which the markets OF all the world abroad, thai
ire open to us, SINK into insigniicance. We
contend tor the success of our own navigation.

prosperity of agriculture, and the Importance oi
rearing up for It's use large and prosperous
community OF domestic consumers of its products.
We contend Tor the g eat interests Of commerce.
i commerce that shall thrive upon the affiuence
ot our own people, and winch shall be enjoyed b.
the American merchant in preference to the mer-
chant Of any other land. We contend for the
interests of a sound national currency, as indls-
pensable to the operation OF that vast traffic ami
exchange by which the business of the nation is
.lone dItfused and rendered productive. In stand
ing forth as the advocates of these interests, we

A LIBEL ON THE PEACE OF 1915.

The Globe, in its spasrnodic efforts to keep on
the surface OF the political waves, clutches desper
atcly at every straw which presents itself! But
like the creation of Dickins's pen, the vile Quilp
in the ..Old Curiosity Shop" when Blair is sink
ing to the bottom, he sees images dire and horrid
around him! Those present themselves first,
which are the objects of his drest and most i'm
placable hatred! Thence we find that he is at
lacking the last war, as did Van Buren, at the
time of its declaration, and asserting the broad
and unmtigated LIE, that the Peace effected by
the Treaty at Client, was NOTORIOUS, AND
PURCHASED BY HUMILIATION. The cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Forum, writing
from this city, thus puts the seal of Reproduction
on the vile SANDER, and exposes tho craven CAL
jimmy Of the man, who supports Van Buren, and
Buchanan the revers Of the war and the Dem
ocratic administration of JAMES MADISON:

mallgnlty by attack on Mr.. Clay, which de-
