The Market Question

EDrToR or LEADER In behalf of the thou
sand market goeTs, who since the repeal of the
meat monopoly have been enabled to buy beei
at five and six cents a pound, 1 return you
thanks for your decided stand against return
to the old system. The Ordinance nov before
the Council proposes to drive the meat wagons
off from Ontario street, and will of course re-
suit in a restoration of the monopoly.
Now be It understood by the Honorable mem
bers of the City Council, that the people who
buy and eat meat are satisfied with matters as
they now stand and if it be true that a peti-
ton has been presented praying for a change,
my word for 1t that the men who signed it, aside
from those pecuniarily interested, were either
ignorant Of its PurPort, signed it to get nd of
some persistent button-hOler. So too the ac-
ton Of the Workingmen must have been the re-
suit of q misunderstanding of the question, for
what man who can hardly eat meat anyhow, is
desirous of raising the price three, four, and
five cents pound
As for Ontario Street, kaOlc that there are
property holders there, and large ones too. who
do not desire that the wagons should be driven
of Give us, | say, free trade in all that we are
compelled TO eat, subject Of course to laws
against selling that which is unwholesome.
If the question were put to a vote to-day,
there would be, have no doubt, (aside from
the West Side, which really has no interest in
the question: ren to one in favor of permit
ting matters to remain as they now are We
ask the Council to have respect to the popular

cially to that large class OF our population who

That every vote cast for the Republican tick
ct to-day will be a rebuke to the Federal Ad-
ninistratiOn that pledged itself to giveKansas the
Constitution she wanted, and broke the pledge (;
that pledged itself to no interference with Sla-
very in the Territories, and offered bribe Of
five millions of acres Of land to Kansas to be-
come Slave State that pledged itself to re-
duce tho National debt, and has added sixty
millions to it; that pledged itselEto an econom-
ical use of the public money, and has spent
over one hundred millions in one year, and has
doubled expenses while receipts dwindled; that
pledged itself to be the Government of the
whole nation, aud permits the nullifers and
disunionists of the South to guide its policy
without let or hindranee. Remember this when

The Cleveland PlaindedleT seems to have felt
keenly the force of our structures upon the con-
temptible game played off by half dozen wire
workers, who, unauthorized by the people, put
up the editor of that truculent sheet as a candi-
date for Congress, and who had the audacity to
claim for their secret fraud the credit of being
an anti administration triumph, all because the
President did not think the Plaindealer man
should be constituted perpetual pensiOner up
on the Government. Private griefs cannot JUS
tily an assault upon the integrity of the Demo-
cratic party or give character 20 efforts to boast
up disaffected sOreheads. Such movements
will never find any sympathy in the cOlamns Of
the IrumbuH Democrat Devotion to principle
and faithful adherence TO the men, measures
and usages Of the Democratic party require that
we should never hesitate to expose the dupllci-
ty OF disorganizers, while we are led to regard
such faiT weather partisans, as the editor Of the
PldndealeT, only with mingled feelings of COM
misseration and contempt. The desperateness
of his particular case may be conceived, when
the fact is remembered that there were only
seven men found in the three counties of the
District, who were sufficiently reckless Oftheir

snrings Banks in Europe and AmerIea.

The number of savings banks IN France is
600 francs deposited The number Of deposi-
tors in France, compared with the population,
is as one TO thirty-eight; in the city Of Paris,
one to seven. In Prussia the proportion Is one
TO thirty-six; in Great Britain, one. TO fifteen;
in Belgium one TO eight; in SaIony, one to
four; in the prinsiPal towns of Switzerland,
one TO three.
The average amount to each depOsitor is not
given in the countries last named. In France
it is about SEQ.
So far as we have been able to examine the
statement of Savings Banks in the United States,
the average amount to each dePositOr is about
double that of France. We have no means Of
asceTtaining the number of dePositOrs in this
country compared with the population, but it
must be much less than in Europe.
The number of Savings Banks, the number
of depOsitors, and average amount to each de-
positor, are much greater in the older Eastern
States than in the new States at the West. Al
most every county in the older New England
States has its Savings Bank, and the same is
true of portions of the State of New York.
We know of only one Incorporated Savings
Bank in Northern Ohio, the Society for Savings
in this city This Society was chartered nine
years ago, has now over two thousand depcsi-
tors, and nearly Three Hundred Thousand Dol
lars in deposit. During the panic and strin-
gency of the past year its deposits were re-
dueed, from July to July, about 10 per cent,
but since April the deposits have been gradually
increasing.
