THE ELEVATION or THIS EBsRn RACE
from slavery to the full rights Of citi,
zenship is the most important political
change we have known since the adop.
ton of the Constitution of 1857. No
thoughtful man Gao fail to appreciate
it's benefoeut effect upon our institu.
tious and people. 1t his freed us from
the perpetual danger Of war and disco
luton.
1t has added immensely to the moral
and individual forces of our people. 1t
has liberated the master as we'll as the
slave from g. relation which wronged
aud enfeebled both. 1t has surrender
cd to their own guardianship the man
hood OF more than b,000,0 900 people.
aud has opened to each one Of them a
career of freedom and usefulness. II
has given new inspiration to the power
OF self help in both races by making
labor mora honorable to the one and
more necessary 10 the other. The in
fluenoe of this force will grow greater
ard beer rich fruit with the coming
years.
No doubt the crest change has oaus-
ed serious disturbance 60 our Southern
communities. This is to b. deplored,
though it was perhaps unavoidable.
But those gho resisted tho change
should remember thai under our ia
situations there was no middle ground
for the nsgro raos between slavery and
equal oit!asnshlp. There can be no
permanently dtBfraucbised pessantry
in the Uoite1 States. Freedom can
never yield its fulness OF blessings 80
long as the Law or its administration
places the smallest obstacle in the path
way of any virtuous citizen.

By the experience OF commercial ma
tions in all ages, it has been found that
gold aud silver offered the on.y safe

fusion has recently been created by va
riations in the relative value of tn"
two metals, but l confidently believe
that arrangements can be made between
the leading commercial nations which
will secure the general use OF both
metale. Congress- should provide that
che compulsory coinage OF silver now
required sy law may not disturb our
system by driving either

such an adjustment should be made
