we could not appreciate our real strength. We
never stood, commercially, 30 well with other
nations as ne do now. We never have had so
much specie in the country as we have now, and
never before has the tide Of the precious metals
set 50 strongly in our favor. The war Is already
worth all it is likely to cost in the lessons ii has
taught. 1t has forever released us from the bout
age to cotton which for generation has hung
over us like spell, destroying all freedom OF
commercial or political action, and rendering US
laves to the most absurd deusions. The war
has proved to the world tha. cotton is no longer
needed to maintain our commercial independence;
Ms this was never SO thoroughly established as
since this article has been counted out OF the list
of our exports. We have $G5, 900. 900 in gold in
the the country more than we had on the first
lay of january last. The war has also shown
where the real strength and wealth of the country
lay. That in this country, as everywhere else,
strength and justice, and industry aud wealth 60
hand in hand. AS all prosperity is based upon
moral conditions, we establish one when we vim
dcate the other. Hence the contest for principle
in which We are engaged is only one, in another

half OF their accustomed volume, foreign nations
do not bear the same relations towards us. for
the very good reason that we are self.sustaininp

take 500, 900, 900 less from England the present
year than we did the last, without my great in
convenience, and on some accounts, with yery

which she can get from us at cheaper rates than
from my other nation. She took from US last
