sAcREDNEss OF THE BALLOT.

This survey OF our condition as a nation re-
MINDS us that material prosperity is but a
mOckery If IT. does not tend to preserve the
liberty of the people. A free ballot is the
safeguard OF republican institutions. without
which no national welfare is assured. A pnp-
ular election honestly conducted. embodies
the very majesty Of true government. Ten
millions of voters desire to take part in the
pending contest. The safety of the repub-
lie rests upon the integrity of the ballot.
upon the seenrity Of suffrage to the eiti :
zen. To deposit fraudulent vote is no worse a
crime against constitutional liberty than to
obstrNct the deposit Of an honest vote, He
who cOrrupts suffrage strikes at the very root
Of free government. He il the arch enemy of
the republic. He forgets that in trampiing
upon the rights of others he fatally imperils
his own rights. 1T is good land which the
Lord our God doth give us,u but we can main
tain our heritage only By guarding with vigil
ance the source Of popular power.

AGRICULTURE AND THE TARIFF.

The agricultural interest is by far the larg-
est in the nation, and is entitled in every adj
justment of revenue laws TO the first consider
alton. Any policy hostile to the fullest de-
velopment Of agriculture in the United States
must be abandoned. Realizing this fact the
opponents of the present system of revenue
have labored very earnestly to persuade the
farmers Of the United states that they are
robbed by protective tariff, and the effort is
thus made o consolidate their vast influence
in favor of free trade. But happily the farm
ers of America are intelligent ana cannot be
misled by sOphistry when conclusive facts are
before them. They see plainly that during
the past twenty-fOur years wealth has not
been acquired in one section or by one inter-
est at the expense OF another section or an
other interest. They see that the agricultural
states nave made even more rapid progress
than the manufacturing States.
The farmers see that in 1S60 Massachusetts
and Illinois had about the same wealth-be-
tween $50, 200 and 5000, ,000, 600 each-and
that in 1880 Massachusetts, had advanced to

OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.

Among our national interests one Ianguishes
the foreign carrying trade. 1T was very
seriously crippled in our civil war, and another
blow was given to it in the general substitu-
tion of steam for sail in ocean traffic. With a
frontage on the two great oceans, with a
freightage larger than that of any other
nation, we have every inducement to restore
our navigation. Yet the government has hith-
erto refused its help. A small share of the
encouragement given by the government to
share of the capital and the zeal given bv our
citizens to those enterprises, would have car
ried our ships TO every sea and to every port
a law just enacted removes some OF the bur-
dens upon our navigation and inspires hope
that this great interest may at last receive
its due share OF attention. All efforts in
this direction should receive encouragement

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

The strength of the Republic is increased by
the multiplication Of land-holders. Our laws
81 ld ook TO the judicious encouragement of
a hl settlers on the public domain, which
sbU6ld hencefOrth be held as a sacred trust for
the benefit of those seeking homes. The tend
ency to consolidate large tracts of land in the
ownership OF individuals or corporations
should, with proper regard to vested rights. be
discouraged. One hundred thousand acres Of
land in the hands of one man is far less profit
able to the nation in every way than when its
ownership is divided among LOCO men, The
evil of permitting large tracts of the national
domain to be consolidated and controlled by
the few against the many is enhanced when
the persons controlling it are aliens. 1t is but
fair that the public land should be disposed of
only to actual settlers and to those who are
citizens of the republic, or willing to become

The paopIe of the United States, though
often urged and tempted, have never seri-
ously contemplated the recognition of any
other money than gold and silver-and cur
rency directly convertible into them. They
have not done so, they will not do so, under
any necessity less pressing than that of des-
perate war. The one special requisite for the
completion of our monetary system is the
fixing of the relative values OF silver and gold
The large use of silver as the money of account
among Asiatic nations, taken in connection
with the increasing commerce of the world
gives the weightiest reasons for an inteTna-
tional agreement in the premises. Our gov
ernment should not cease to urge this measure
until a common standard of value shall be
reached and established-a standard that shall
enable the United States to use the silver from
its mines as an auxiliary to gold in settling
the balance of commercial exchange.
