AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vIo- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy. ~

WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT.
A Native Offers an Explanation-Britain
 Naval Superiority.


 Naval Superiority.
 How was it that Ealf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize, to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of suc- cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations and taught to achieve naval superior ity as necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover- eighty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a-1aatter of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions, in Europe dwindled away. The drill sergeant, who is the artificer of German fortunes, has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have Got risen from mil 1 Iitary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores, and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

snowba1ls Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint 6 Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich., recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs, some of them of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take large force of boys several days to do.

Popocratic stump speakers indulge
very freely in their cry for more money
because the bait on their hook is an at
tractive one.
What is money? Simply the medium
of exchange, and the substitute for bar.

they tell us that large amount of
money per capita is desirable, and
hence demand an indefinite and illimi-
table coinage of silver. II this is cor
rect, why not add to it copper also?
The amount of money needful is meas
urable, not by the popular cry for il,
not by population and per capita
supply proportionate thereto, but by
the demands of business in healthy
condition. This should be supplied, so
far as practicable, by the law of de.
mand and supply.
The bulk of monetary transactions
calls not for an amount of money rep

Quoted by the use of commercial bills
of exchange and bank checks repre-
senting money. Very little cash passes
from hand to hand except in rural dis
trcts where there are no bank deposits
and accounts. If farmers have sur
plus of products to exchange for gro
ceries or articles used in their families
which they do not raise, instead of ex-
changing the former for the latter the
difference in price between them is ad
justed by money, the common meas
ure of prices. The amount needed is
not determinable by the per capita
idea, but by the amounts to be ex'
changed and the prices attached to
them. If A has large surplus for ex
change he will be entitled to an amount
of cash corresponding Herewith. If B

We believe it is no exaggeration to
say that every bushel of wheat mark
eted in the Northwest this fall will sell
for from 10 to 10 cents per bushel less
than it ought to, simply because Of the
timidity of capital, owing to the free
silver agitation. This crusade for cheap
money is costing the farmer more than
anybody else. As usual, he foots the
bills for the agitator and the dema.
gogue. Perhaps this foretaste of the
