1t will be the greatest deed democracy has ever
done, the one which will come most clearly home to
property holders, which will most rapidly ~dissipate
the idea that democracy is distinguished by '' an ig-
norant impatience of taxation" or by an indisposi-
zion to pay up honorable claims. No ~despotism will
be able to show such q financial account, no consti-
tutional monarchy a better one, and successful
finance tells heavily with cultivated mankind. The
tide OF immigration will set in with double %rapidity,
and the last remaining deterrent TO British North
America will have been removed. Meanwhile,
whether the dream is fulfilled OF not, America, so
long as she raises this surplus, possesses a force of
which it is difficult to estimate the extent, eau, for
example, spend without n loan as much as the whole
outlay Of Great Britain upon her army and navy,
can waste every year without increasing her taxes as
much as the loan with which Napoleon paid for his
Italian campaign.

weight Of testimony proves that that individual has
been engaged in destroying the Fenian organization.
and placing its leaders and its men in the hands Of
the British Government. using the money Of the
Order for its own destruction. and for the corruption
Of its chosen le-der. Should Stephens be successful
in this matter-successful in betraying his country
men into the hands of the English Government,
