movements will not abate. Though
the methods hitherto employed may
have to be varied, the course pursued
should be the same. All systems of
money and credit must be destroyed
except that of our empire. Every dis
tinction between money and metal
must be effaced in the law: SO that the
cCins of our allies may be exported and
melted without loss, and thus employ
ed as a means to alternately contract
and expand their local measure Of
value. The supremacy of London as
the mining market Of the world must
be maintained. Whatever loss is en-
tailed by working the mines is repaid
a thousand fold by controlling, through
1t, the metal which we have made the
money Of the world.
5. The colonization Of Canada with
the outcasts OF the London prisons and
warehouses and of South Africa with
Indian riots. should not be permitted
to flag. Both of these classes of peo-
pie are British subjects owing. us
fealty. Their helplessness de-
serves protection; their poverty and
misfortunes demand redress. Canada
has nothing to fear from the intrusion
OF these un~fortunates. There will al
ways remain al uncontaminated resid-
UNI of British nobility and gentry in
her population sufficiently command
ing to govern the rest. What the
Americans, our allies, may suffer by
the spread Of the alloy into their terri
tory is at present no concern of ours.
6. 1t has been u policy to patron
lze Americans and to interest them
in the solidarity of the Anglo-Saxon
race. Our common language and re-
i1slon have afforded a happy medium
OF confidence. These are now being
supplemented by a common money.
When these elements of political union
are capped by an arbitration treaty the
imperial edifce will be almost COM
plete. Time and opportunity, the
merest accident, may suffice to replace
the royal standard of England Upon
the transatlantic eminences from
which it was rudely torn by the NAL
contents Of a revolutionary age. The
attentions shown to their recent am
bassadors aud representatives have
been received in a spirit which proves
that the Americans are not insensible
to the social distinctions which their
own system refuses, The marriage of
American heiresses to the nobility of
England and France, while it has
served to Gull the choicest flowers from
the sunless garden of democracy, has
contributed no little to the wealth of
our Kingdom, and from this point of
view it is invested with an Importance
that suggests an effort to divert the
movement altogether to our own
realms. To provide a ready market
for influential and needy American
Journals is another matter that should
not fail to engage the attention of our
administrators. The prudent invest
ment of British capital in American
industrial enterprises has of late years
faltered; but now it need no longer
be delayed: because the time is not far

sovereign. Already these Republicans
are tired of their fantastic system of
government, which, thanks to the leg
islation promoted by Barbara Villiers
and its statutory sequels, gives I'M
mistakable signs of collapse and alb
sorption into our Dominion of Canada.
In view of this great event, no pains
O expense should be begrudged to
strengthen and fortify the Dominion.
Whatever it lacks of railways, tele-
graphs, coaling stations and other
military advantages, should be pro-
vided the moment their necessity is
recognized.
