II is the common ery of surface-sceiag minds that
this present Prostration OF business s always wit
messed just before a Presidential election. They
resign themselves TO Il with fatastie corpssurcit
is unavoidable, it is always so and hey submit.
As to reasons, they are like Falstaf, who swpre
that he would give none, were they thick as black
berries. Now, whether Talstaff had reasons 10
volunteer or not, leave: but you may be sworn
that the others have none, for none have they ever
condescended TO give. They have none for the
faith that is in them. Nevertheless, there ara rea-
sons why business flags before some Presidential
elections BE- it remembered it does not stag
nate before all The year before Van Buren, came
in il was so dead that thousands were sutferingfor
bread. Eight previous years of tampering with tho
currency by Gen. Jackson was reason enough 1t
was also PROSTATE the year OF Gen. Harris0ns cleo
ton because the same destructive causes were still
actively at work. But there was no prostfation at
the end of Harrison's term, because the Tariff Of
1912 had put money in the pocket of every laborer
willing 10 work. The rule failed completely under
Protection. Polk succeeded in lSii, and two years
later the Tariff Of 1919 was emascuated. Public
distress followed but lis usual intensity was mLi-
gated by the influx of California gold. This kept
the great bubble of credit inflated up to 1851,
when it burst with an explosion So loud as
still to ring in the ears OF many OF US. Where

empty treasury. Its highest officers backened with
infamies publicly proved against them, the President
himself the blacklist of them all. Corruption thev-
ing, and connivance, ruling with high hand in
many departments. Every attention gwen TO pri-
vate ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and not an hour ~ measures
for the public good. A mean aud dirty contest for
longer hold on the public purse with record of
four years ascendency so foul that no foreign des
potsm can exceed its atrocities. The Tariff again
struck at labor shorn Of its reward men asking for
bread and receiving a stone. AT this crisis another
Presidential election is impending and the shallow
heads cry out that dull times belong to it. No
greater lie was ever uttered except the cry be quail
flied by prOvisO chat eight years of Democratic rule
have preceded il. These facts are undeniable.
They are rife before us as they were in 1882
In the ordering of Providence we have our cOmpen-
sations. Eight years of Democratic dcbauchery of
public morals and OF beggary TO the nation are GER
tain to be followed by mighty publication. If the
times be cursed with the one, are they not prophetic
of the other!
The Sham Democracy continue to have high
old time in these parts. Like breachy colt, they
have finally straddled the pole, split the whletree
kicked in the dasher, and turned the party inside
sprawDg in the road. Some of them are eating
dirt there at greater rate than ever As TO fusion
or clubbing on Electoral ticket, it is out of the
question. There viii doubtless be clubbing OF some
Kind before election, but it will not be OH paper 1t

late Breckenridge meeting and the thorough cut at

elsewhere, can touch an Electoral ticket which con
