or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
:" If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fix..-1e,
then that government will furnisi its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR 1T WILL DE.
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"
The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States Sank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
81, 500, 900, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing of our minis against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence Of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas,
ure and profit.

A STRAIGHT FORWARD QUEEN
Victoria's Loyalty to the Constitution
and Her High Position.

The queen has always sailed an alb
solutely straight course. The idea Of
intrigue, Of working for an Interior
object by unseen means, of concealed
or personal aims, is unthinkable in
connection with the queen. She has
never tried to enlarge her constitu-
tional rights, to increase her personal
power and influence, to have her own
way because it was her own way.
Again, she has never made favorites
of this or that man, OF even of this or
that policy, and then tried to press
them forward by any concealed means
or secret device. Nobody has ever
been able to say: "The queen has
taken a great liking for this OF that
statesman and means to push him
quietly" or cher majesty has set her
heart on this or that scheme or pro-
posal and means to carry it somehow
or other" or, lastly, "if that is pro-
posed the queen will insist on strik-
ing a bargain and having her favor
lite plan as to this or that put into exc
cution." The queen, that is, has
never had certain private aims in the
background which she has been in
tently pressing on while apparently
doing other things. Her aim has
been a single one---to obey the law,
custom and etiquette of the constitu-
ton, and to further in every possible
way the good of the country. She
has never, for example, as have many
monarchs, good as well as bad, been
perpetually Solicitous. about advanc-
ing dynastic interests, improving the
position of her family or Selling op-
portunities to increase the royal pow
err Instead, there has been complete
loyalty to her high position and, as we
have said, absolute singleness of aim.
