many lessons during the seven years Of
the American Revolution-lesson Of
liberty, justice, and the equality Of
men. This, too, is a victory of Amer
ica's republican institutions. The Brit
ish provinces of to-day enjoy independ-
ence in all but the name. But, the
radical asks, why not in name2 There
is proverb to the effect that the man
is but the larger child. The child is
pleased with a bauble. Magnify the
bauble, and the larger child is equally
pleased. Royalty, in these times, is
little more than gilded bauble. Its
"pomp and circumstance receive
willing homage. Tradition, too, has a
powerful hold on the people of any ma
ton. The throne of England, centuries
old, the crown of England, worn by so
many illustrious sovereigns, may no
longer be considered sacred in bills of
parliament, but among the people ira
dition invests them with love and re-
spect. These are among the reasons
why England's dependencies are loyal
to the crown, and willingly contribute
their millions to support the royal es-
tablishment. Had the American colo
MES been given the immunities and
privileges that Australia or the Domin-
ion of Canada enjoy, there might have
been no United States of America, and
Americans might be Loyalty crying,
God save the Queen"
THE democrats of Ohio have renomi-
mated Governor James E. Campbell on
a platform that favors free coinage of
silver, opposes the Mckinley tariff and
denounces the billion dollar con-
gress." The silver-coinage plank was
adopted after strenuous opposition. A
minority report in favor of "honest
money" was rejected by vote of 300
yeas to 800 nays. Advocating the mi
nority report, Mr.. German of Cincin-
natl declared that "the democratic
party cannot afford to put itself upon
any platform that advocates anything
but honest money. The democratic
party has always been in favor of an
honest dollar, worth one hundred cents
in the market of the world. If you
adopt plank favoring the free and un-
limited coinage of the present silver
dollar, you are thereby authorizing the
government to stamp upon seventy six
to eighty cents worth of silver its mark
and circulate it as one dollar. The free
and unlimited coinage of such large
amounts of silver cannot be circulated
in this country, and gold be circulated
at the same time" Nevertheless, the
democrats of Ohio did put themselves
upon a platform that favors stamp
ing from seventy-six to eighty cents
worth of silver as one dollar, thus
endorsing one of the worst of monopo
lies, and then with characteristic incon
sistency turned about and denounced
the Mckinley tariff law because il
favors capitalists and Expresses the
people. The silver-mining industry
which benefits the silver kings, is petteC
and nursed, but a policy that protect;
and encourages agricultural and manu-
featuring industries, that aids the de.
velopment of their country's resources
and contributes to the general welfare
is savagely denounced and war upor
the law that sustains that policy de
clared. Mckinley will triumph in No
vember. The democratic campaign il
one of such folly, so opposed to reason
and common-sense, that the people Of
Ohio will condemn it and bury it undeI
an old-time republican majority. A
victory as inspiring and reassuring, a
full of hope and promise as that o
1879, preceding the great campaign o
1880, awaits the republican party o
Ohio, if it does it's duty.
