An Unparalleled Experience.

During this time an experience
which has no parallel in the history Of
the world occurred. The English peo-
pie, especially in Lancashire, were
great sufferers from the war. Up to
that time Lancashire had generally
raw cotton; consequently the blockade
which prevented Southern cotton from
going to Liverpool created an industri-
al depression the like Of which was
never known in England before or
since. 1t is known as the ''cotton pa
ME-" The people of Lancashire for
nearly two years were in q state of Sim
pie starvation, toward the latter end
even living on one meal q day. Factor
given, now and then, just to keep the
people from starving. A desperate ef-
fort was made, and encouraged by tho
government of Lord Russell and Mr..
Gladstone. to create a public sentiment
In lancashire, by in reality appealing
to the influence of empty stoms ache, In
favor of breaking the blockade. The
people were told, of course, that if the
blockade could be broken their factor
les would start and prosperity would
agaiu return. For Q time it seemed as
though this might have some little
success. There was ripple of res
pOnse. But about this time came Lin
coins Emsncj patton Proclamation, and
from that moment no argument aud no
power OF persuas On, not even Angel
Gabriel him. eff, could have Influenced
the people of Lancashire ito lend any
cOunteDance or favor to the southern
cause. From the moment emancipa-
ton of the slaves was definitely made
the motto of the North, even starvation
had no influence on the sentiment of
M

sometimes as much as twenty miles. to

Rejoice at Their Own Defeat.

Those who fought to dismember
the union now rejoice at their own
defeat. Little did our people realize,
when our country was passing
through this baptism of fire, that
they were laying the foundation of
the greatest united nation upon the face
of the earth. Little did they realize
that within the short period of one
third of century, her sons united and
fraternized, would be battling for the
same principles-liberty and freedom
in the furthermost parts of the
world.
But the dove of peace has percbed
upon our banners. The principles
which YOU fought for have been
gained; the country is again reunited,
and the palmetto and the pine are
planted side by side. Together we
stand as of yore, and reinforced by
the principles OF liberty and unity.
we carry success to the American
arms throughout the world.

you, gentlemen, we are all your
friends, The sturdy sons of Illinois
and Iowa participated in that great
struggle with you, and you will find
them always ready to welcome you,
and to sympatize and join with you
in all of your joys and sorrows. You
battled in most noble and worthy
cause. You fought and bled, and
many Of your comrades died, that

liberated 'om bondage, and that our
union of states might not he severed.
What noble sacrifice must there have
been. What great test of loyalty and
patriotism was manifested. That
success crowned your efforts is APP
parent from the fact that the stars
and stripes now float over a united
and glorious nation and proclaim lib
erty throughout the world. To you,
gentlemen, the people of our country
owe a debt of gratitude that it never
can repay. Posterity will always
hold you in loving remembrance and
admiration, and history has and will
record you as having subdued the
greatest rebellion ever attempted.
The war in which You fought for the
preservation of the union has long
since passed, but the principles for
which you contended and so ably
maintained, have been established in
the breast of every true American, Sc
cession has been stamped on,
and slavery has been abolished
America no longer presents a home
for such pernicious evils. While the
war cost thousands upon thou
sands of lives. entailed upon
many misery in measures untold,
while it bathed our people in their own
blood and caused the tears of anguish
and sorrow to flow from the heart

cient results.

The Greater capital City will be

he has not proven a good legal ad-
wiser. He has made one fatal blunder
after another. He shows In this case
that he is no lawyer at all. This liti.
CATION against THE JOURNAL has
been one failure after another.
The gang that he represents
never fight In the open. They over
reach the public when no one is look

tracks. Their agent can only prac.
tice with success when he has the
city, county or state back Of him aud
owns the jury in front OF him. No
one needs that kind of thing In an
open law fight. THE JOURNAL is
safe and has no fears. All it asks the
public Is TO suspend Judgment until
the whole matter Is before the courts.
The books of THE CAPITAL JOURNAL
are open to the public. Ii has moth
