for the want Of circulating medium to
enable them to carry il on. What the ex-
tent ana amount OF those business opera
tions in this, hitherto prosperous country,
have been, when not Obstructed and pa
rally zed, some idea may be formed from
the following facts drawn from the same
sources as those above stated. The.
Treasury Report to Congress, made last
April, states the amount, in value, OS
merchandise imported in the year 1885,
to have been 1879, 9,98O,O35, (near IsO
milions) and the amount Of exports al
1913, ,633, ,O4O, (about IO7 millions Of which
was of American growth, produce. and
manufacture
But the amount Of exported merchan-
die is not probably more than tenth,
or at most an eighth part Of the whole an
nual products of American labor IN the
mechanic arts, in agriculture, manu(ac-
lures and various other ways; which,
according to official reports and accurate
statistical tables, amount to moro than
eight hundred millions Of dollars in vul-
ue. And to this immense amount Of ex-
changeable personal property, requiring
u prOpOrtionate amount Of some mO,~y
currency to give it value by faciIaatins
its transfer and exchange,is to be added
the sales and transfers Of real estates, in
lots, farms, and larger tracts made daily
in all parts Of the United States. And
If we think the iaborer is worihy Of his
hire, we ought, above all, to add the u
mount necessary to pay tho labor by
which these millions of property are an
nually created--the labor by which alone
all we eat, all we wear, and all we enjoy
is produced and supplied. The amount
of this no man can calculate, Tor tive re-
al lnborer receives no salary, Office fees
or emoluments.
We promised to make no comments,
and shall therefore leave the egoing
facts to the reflections Of the reuder, who
will make up his opinion, whether tho
immense business operations Of such
county rs this could be carried on, for
n single day, upon nothing but hard
money currency And should il be his
opinion that such project is utterly
chimerical, he will naturally reflect, ALSO,
upon the cruelty and wickedncss Of la
boring to impose upon the uniformed
portion of the people, that they are soon
TO enjoy golden age when their pockets
shall be filled with gold and silver.

by the refusal Of the Hon WIN. Sprns ne

to his credit, he steadily declined any
such intimate association with the Hon.

STEAMBOAT ACCIDENr.--The Wheeling
Gazette, of Monday, gives an account Of a.
mother steamboat explosion, on the Western
waters, attended, as usual with loss Of life
and great destruction of property. The

ed the deuth OF three persons, besides severe
ly scalding several others. The boat shortly
after sunk, and 10 supposed to be total loss.

.4dpartages of .Airertising.-T Delcvans,
hardware merchants of New York, advertise
very extensively, and,n consequence, do five
times as much business as any other similar
establishment in that city. We could, our
selves, point out the partners of more than
one house, now very extensively engaged in
business, who owe much of their success to
literally advertising their goods Phiia.
Cdz.
There is nothing like il, particularly in this
city. A man, no Ratter what his business
,nay be, never loses anything by advertising.
The more money he expends upon the news
papers, the more money he makes. A per-
ron, who has given more advertising to the
public press than any other in the city, once
told us that he commenced business with a
determination to expend in advertising, all
his receipts for the first two years, but that
he soon found it impossible to do so. The
faster h. paid it out, the more lie received
and. could he have monopofsed all the ad
ver,ising columns Of all the papers in the ci
", he would have been repaid fouriold.-

RAID RtnD BRTDGE BURNT.-The bridge
across Charles river. where tire Worcester =
rail road passes between Newton ana .Ves-
ton, was burnt yesterday about O'Clock
The fire was occasioned by sparks from the
engine, and the bridge was entirely destroyed
before it was discovered. Fortunately the
accident was noticed by the Engineer of the
train from Worcester, in time to prevent the
engine and cars running off into the river
The bridge cost 81 900. but il is thought it
may be restored for $1,000. In two hours

u temporary raft was constructed on which
passengers and the mails were safely con-
dncted.- Boston Transcript Of Wednesdcy,

with regard to Mr.. Cranston, he is
gentleman, whom we well know, and, as
such, highly esteem. AS to his talents for
legislation, If he possesses any of an order
that can grace a scat in Congress, it is woD-

was very fine one. lie left East Boston
about o'clock, ascended rapidly to great
height. and was soon lost to view by inter

the earth near "Captains Hill" in the southerly
part of Duxbury, and Mr.. Lauriat, by means
of his grappels, cndeavorcd to alight, but the
fences and -shrubbery with which it came IN
contact, gave way, but finally became sta.
tonary upon the flats in the Bay, left bare by
the tide few minutes after 6 O'Clock. A
number Of boats put off to his assistance, and
he soon after reached the shore in safety, and
without injury to his balloon. The distance
from Boston is 33 miles, and was accomplish.

loon arose is computed at 1900 feet, or a
little over three miles and n quarter.
