Results prove beyond question that the people
Of this country have decided talent for business.
From all the numerous speculatiOns aud enterprises
set on foot amoDg US during the last twenty or
thirty years, the profits on the whole must have
considerably exceeded the losses. This is evident
by the undeniable fact that the wealth and income
Of the country have increased at decidedly greater
rate than the increase of the population. Never
tbeless, well as We may be satisfied with the aver
oge Det product of these undertakings considered
ut whole and taking into account all the benefits,
direct aud indirect, expected and unexpected, that
result from them, and whatever admiration We
must needs feel for the sagacity that conceises
these various enterprises, the courage that under
takes them, the zeal and energy that push them
cnofttn in the face of obstacles aud those of the
most serious character, not at all anticipated when
the enterprises were cOmmenced-stil the history
If these enterprises, looked at individually, is not
calculated to lead to a very high estimate of the
sound judgment and real power of foresight and
calculation brought into play BY our business men.
In the whole course Of the history Of one of these
undertakings, whether great or small, it will be
difficult to ind any period at which the enterprise
is looked at either by the parties more imme-
d,arely Interested or BY the business public
at large in purely rational point Of
view. The clear and pure white light Of
rea.on aud sound judgment-that in which
all the rays are united and combined-is not
the sort Of light under which most Of our business
operations are carried Oh. The neutral tints Of
nature are not generally the prevailing ones in
Waii-stIeet, wbehce emanates the motive power to
20 many II our great industrial undertakings.
Things are very apt to be seen there under false
and d, ceptve lgbts. The artificial comleur dc rose
under which capitalists have been led to invest
enough reaction, often followed by q gloom beyond
that which the state of the case really justifes.
Scarcely a point OF time is ever TO be found 10

from total rum, after all, is not much any sa-
gnciy it displays in its appreciation of particular
enterprises, as the general fact that the result Of
tho.e enterprises, considered as whole, is profit

Gov. Walker has raised his siege Of Lawrence

Labor has been eubected-and sent off bis dragons
in quest Of hostile Indians on the further praires
He has accomplished not one Of the Osten ,ble OBJ
jects of his military demonstration; for the bogus
taxes remain uncollected, the homemade Charter
and Municipality are in full blast, and the People
have lst held their State Election under the TOpe-
Ia Constitution, reaffirming that instrument by .
vote in Lawrence of 652 Yeas to Nays. Yet the
real object Of this bull ing demonstration has been
effected in the carrying Of the South Western Elec
items for Buchanan. The thunders of the South
ern Conventions against Walkers Inaugural and
his repeated pledges that the People of Kansas
should be secured fair vote ON the adoption of the
bogus Constitution, were quelled by the parade Of
troops before Lawrence and the windy fuiuna-
tions of rebellion" and treason" to which the
people Of that stiff-Decbed city were subjected by
The worthy successor of Shannon and WOOdson.

A pieneer of Minnesota gives utterance in an
other column to very general complaint among
pioneers against the rapaciOus usury and kindred
evils to which poor settlers in a new and thriving
community are subjected. There is much forcible
truth with some error embodied in her statement,
to which we invite general attention; and there is
some other truth bearing on the same general sub
ject, which we shall try to embody in thi, article.
/. Let us correct, for the fftieth time, the cur
rent Western presumption that money is abundant
at the East, and seeking investment at low rates.
The fact is far otherwise But few years have
elapsed since money was freely advertised in our
city journals to be loaned city houses at seven
and even at six per cent, there being mere money
seeking this favorte and eminenty safe species OF
investment than could find borrowers at seven per
cent. Now, money is hard to find at seven per
cent. on the best City property and none is adVer.
tised for investment at any rate. We presume
Five Millions could at once be safely placed at seven
per cent On buildings worth at least double the
amount.
But. if there were millions seeking investment
on mortgage in the seaboard cities, it would be
difficult to obtain 1.-THE Of it for investment in
Minnesota, even at higher rate. The City houses
are paying good rent quarterly; their income is
not likely TO be cut of and the payment Of interest
on the mortgages postponed, by visitation Of
shoppers; and the mortgages can be collected
or sold at any time. A mortgage on Western
lands may be just as safe, but the value of the
property and the goodness Of the title are not so
easily atcertained here. There have been scores
Of bogus mortgages got up in the West for sale at
the East purportiDg to secure loans Of many times
the value Of the property on which they were a
lien. And, even where the title is good aud the
property worth considerably more than the face OF
the mortgage, it is notorious that payment even OF
interest is often slow aud the officially Of reeliz'
ing the principal on an emergency very great.
Capitalists, therefore, prefer to invest their money
near home, on property whose value they know,
held by titles they know to be good, and where
other capitalists can be found to buy them out in
case they should at any time wish to realize. II is
idle therefore, to hope that Eastern capitalists as
class will send their money to Minnesota to be loaned
at seven per cent. TLey Can do better, and they
will.

TIE results Of the August Elections in NORTH

Lesson which must not be misinterpreted All
these are decided wbig States, having voted for
Harrison in 1910, Clay in IA, and Taylor in '49.
Tennessee ard Kentucky voted for Scott in so,
and North Carolina, by Cpgmans detection, was
barely carried against him. There is no reasona-
be doubt that these States on the old party issues
would be Wing today; yet they have all been car
red BY what is termed Democracy by overwhelm-
ing mslorties. The National American party
was the only formidable opponent, and that party
has virtually ceased to exist 1t has now no State
it can call its own, Maryland excepted.
OF the eight Members Of Congress elected as
democrats" in Kentucky, at least three were

of Henry, j. w. Stevenson, and Albert G. Tai

States has gone against the National American
party" by fully ten thousand majority. Two u.

of Tenn.-bcth Wings Of old, but only Dir. Thomp-
son is now an American" Of the twenty.siX
or Elk are "Americans." A new Governor in
Tennessee and Legislature in that State and in
Kentucky are among the fruits of the triumph.
Csndor coppels us to add that we do not regard
these results, emphatic as they are, as primarily
induced by hostility to Americanism." That
they crush out the " American party" is true, but
that IS an Incident, not their main purpose. 1t is
the Slave Power dominant in those States which
recognizes tie ascendency or subordination Of
Sasery in the National councils as the great pO-
htcal issue Of the day. and distrusts not the dis
position, but the power, of the " American party"
On the other hand, it recognizes in the National
Democracy" unfailing devotion to its cause,
united with ability to uphold it so long as it can be
upheld at Ill 1t chooses to fight under the banner
Of strong party rather than that Of weak one

Elections.
