her extension in Northern Africa, where she ia

land in her Indian policy consults only the ne
cessities Of her own development and internal
SAFETY The course of Russia toward the Mon
gol Tartars has nothing in common with her
European policy. In all of these things those
countries are, in fact, obeying an impulse
which springs from their higher civilization,
and doing work which must rebound to the ad-
vantage Of each and of all.
But we have never had any policy in this
respect. Our government has hitherto confined
itself to making commercial treaties with all
foreign Powers, and pressing the claims of our
citizens against some of them, holding all alike
in its intercourse. England, well knowing that
such restricted intercourse could not always
be maintained. sought for long time to draw
US into scheme of joint Intervention in Cen
trail America; but failing in this che succeeded
in negotiating the Clayton-Bulwer folly by
which we bind ourselves to refrain from exer-
our manifest destiny, in the countries south Of
US. The result has been that what the govern
ment has agreed not to do the people have de-
termined they will do. From this springs the
spirit of filibusterism that backs up Walker and
his movement, and which will eventually Anne
ricanize Nicaragua, whether the government
is willing or not, unless the government itself
takes the lead and settles the question. In
such a movement as this the people is far ahead
of the government, rs it is on every other great
question. But the time has come for the gov
eminent 10 act.
We must abrogate the Clayton. Bulwe' treaty,
and We must authorize the President to carry out
the stipulations of the treaty with Nicaragua.
These two steps will inaugurate our southwark
movement with dignity and success If Eng
land or France protest against it, and tndeavor
practically to stop us in our national path, we
must defy them at once. We have ben hum
plugged long enough with the Elliotts Texas,
the Packenhams in Mexico, the Gatfields,
Wykes and Mannings in Central Ameica-all
intriguing against us, all belying our national
character. and all striving to injure our inte
rests and that national influence which belongs
to us there. 1t is time that we should awaken
to the truth of our position in this mater and
assume the true lead in American affairs. If
we refuse to do it through the action of Con
gress and the executive branch, the people viii
do it, and any attempt to suppress them in
their action will only lead to bitter sectional
strife and discussions.

probability. carry immigration to this country
to the figure at which 1t stood some years ago
and will people our backwoods and Western
States with harfy laborera 1t will be the
means Of filing Australia even faster than the
gold product did; anal viii likewise throw q
large population into California. That State
will be the chief recipient Of those who, having
failed here, have no heart to recommence the
struggle with the world in the same place.
This country and California and Australia are
to be congratulated upon the prospect. The
men who fail during revulsions are for the most
part enteyprising, energetic men, who break
down from excessive haste to grow rich-a very
bad set Of persons-so far rs their families
comfort is concerned-but very excellent
class Of citizens for new country.
The FAILURES FROM THE REvuI.sroN.-We see
that Mr.. D'Israeli, in speaking in Parliament on
the Bank act, stated that before the letter was
issued authorizing the Bank to overissue notes,
failed for an aggregate of over two hundred
millions of dollars. We presume that the ex-
Chancellor of the Exchequer merely referred to
the prominent firms, and did not intend to in
clude the smaller mercantile houses which have
crept silently into the Gazette at the rate of a
score OF more per week of late.
1t is very difficult to form general estimate
of aggregates in such matter as this. So many
men fail noiselessly, and are never heard Of
that such estimates are likely to fall very far
short of the fact For instance, we imagine that
ninety Of every hundred dry goods houses in
the country have practically failed; yet very
few, comparatively, have been reported as
broken.
Some time since we estimated the total
number of failures during the months of August
September and October at $50, with an indebt-
edness in round terms, of $l000O0,OOO 1t is
probable that at least five hundred houses have
failed since. Aud from the best data we can
procure, we estimate that since August last the
aggregate failures throughout the commercial
world, Europe and America, have been over
seven thousand in number, and the amount of
aggregate liability something like thousand
millions of dollars.
The average value of suspended debts is usu-
ally set down. in ordinary cases, and in the
great commercial countries, at fifty cents on
the dollar; that is to say, the bulk of the men
who fail, taking them one with another, pay
fifty per cent on the amount they owe. At this
calculation the world, or rather the commercial
world, has lost by the revulsion of 1857 five
hundred millions of dollars. In the revulsion
of 1887 in this country, the aggregate debts of
nearly 10000 persons were about $500, OOO, 900
their assets, returned under the bankrupt law,
only $4,000 ,o00-being about ten cents on the
dollar; yet the average that was realized did
not reach over five cents on the dollar. Per-
haps the bankrupt, of 1857 may pay better
than in 1887. We hope so.
