Mr.. EDIroR IL notice the city council

Mr.. EDIroR:-I notice the city council
have passed an ordinance calling an election
on the 23d of this month, to decide whether
the city will or will not borrow enough mo-
ey to cancel her outstanding debt. think
the move a good one, and believe every
merchant, mechanic, and laboring man in
the CITY should give it his cordial support.
We have but TO look ahead and we can east.
~ see that city orders will not bring, in
three months from this time, over so cents
on a dollar, and this shave will certainly
have to fall upon merchants mechanics, and
others who are compelled to take them
The interest allowed by the city is reasona-
BILE, only 10 per cent, when money COM
mands from to per cent. Il month. We
cannot believe that any person IN ti,is city
would take exceptions to this measure only
for the sake of speculation, and those per-
sons are none Others than can control every
dollar that would be likely to go into the Ct.
ty treasury, and draw out with orders. and
then invest gain in orders at a discount Of
SO per cent. III the city cannot obtain the
money, It would be very easy to give bonds
bearing interest for the orders, and thereby
make it an inducenent for the merchants TO
take them.
! have taken this view Of the matter, MIR.
Editor, and would say that | can see no
earthly reason for single individual to go
against the loan, unless it would be for the
sake Of the chances to speculate off the
poorer classes OF the community. Let eve.
ny man who has heretofore been compelled
to take city orders, and has been obliged to
stand an unmcrciful shave, consider what
will be the consequences if $4,000 are to be
floating about for the next year.
Let the merchants and mechanics think o!
this, who ar. every day taking ORDERS, with
no prospect Of getting cent for year to
come, and see whether it will not he better
for all, to have the city debt cancelled.

THE WORKS or SAMUEL DEXTER BRADFORD,
ILL., d. - 7trs

II
The author of this book is of the most Distinguish
ed merchants and astte political economists of his age
and the book which he has recently published contains
his recorded opinions public questions connected with
the history of the and the policy of the dem
ocratic party His earliest published writings ON free
trade commenced far back as the year Is43, in
which he comba the opinion then incucaed throughout
the Union by the wing party, that manufactures should
be ostered at the expense Of agriculture and
He agreed with Mr. Jefferson in the opinion that while
we have land to cultivate, labor in this country could
be best applied to agriculture. Among the alcst of his
papers his letters addressed to Hon Abbott Law
renee in reply to those written by the latter gen
teman to the Hon. William c. Rives ON the re-
sources of Virginia and the revenue question and
also his letters TO Hon. William Meredith, the Sec
tetary OF the Treasury written in 1885, the subjects
Of free trade and the protection Of domestic manufactures
in which he meets and rumphantly refutes the argu-
ments advanced by those gentlemen. Whilst such men
as Daniel Webster, William Gray, Nathan Appleton,
Abbott Lawrence and other capitalists in New England
deserted the doctrines of free trade promulgated by Them
especially by Mr.. Webster in 1920, Dr. Bradford has
never abandoned the views originally entertained by him
to tho true policy Of the government upon this ques
ton but has uniformly opposed the policy of protection
injurious to the best interests of commerce. The book
contains also series Of papers 'the right Of search
written and published in England in 1892 in vindica-
ton of the honor of the American flag. These papers
will be read with particular interest at this time the
views set forth have been substantially acqulesced In by
