BITING ONES NOSE OFF,

and the az CcOmpaUyng documents.
The commissioned obeyed the summons,
and the committee, without stopping 10 read
the document, made a report, recommending
the printing Off large number of The same.
This was agreed to. Mr.. Wise, however,
knowing what was in The report. endeavoted
TO procure reconsideration of the vote; but
the committee, suspecung M. Wise to be
moved by desire to screen John Tyler, in
sisted upon The Wings adhering to the first
vote, and the reconsideration was lost. When
the document gol into hands of The printer 10

THE CONTRAST.

During several years previous 10 the cam
pagu Of 1910, the whig editors kept up
ceasele's clamor about The ruin Of trade, ruin
of commerce, and rum Of the whole people.
Low prices. stagDation of business, deprecia
tedpaper, and difficulty of etfecitng exchanges
with thousand other charges, constituted the
burhen of their song. Yet during all this pc
Rod, as can be shown from official sources,
The business Of the country steadily aud rap>
idly increased. The great ,St amount Of ruin
occurred during the most prosperous periods.
and whlggery fourshed least during those sea
sons when The greatest amount OF business
was pet(oim med.
We can only notice one proof Of this posi-
ton al The present time. The business of our
canals is an nfab,e index of the prosperity
of the people. During the last year of Will
son Shannon's administration, when "ruin"
was dog cheap, the Board of Public Works
reported as follows: Page 4.
"1he amount received for tolls,
fines, and waller rents, by the
collectors on The Ohio Canal,
