EJ~ FoRNEY, OF the Philadelphia
Press, writing from Washington, after
drawing an appalling picture of the state
of affairs, urges the arming of the peo-
pie of the North. He says al see
but one mode Of rescue, and that is to
wake up the people, to organize them,
and put arms into their hands. To de-
lay is to die. Our only safety is in i'm
mediate action action action ! -
This sounds very inhammatory, and we
think needlessly SO, although Mr. For
NEY is not an alal mist. Still it might be
well for the North to show these South
ern gentlemen, who are seeking to sacr-
flee the Union on the altar of their am
bition, that they will be met by force If
that becomes necessary. Such dem
onstration would probably put a stop tc
their game of brag and bluster.

propositions were offered, but nothing
satisfactory was arrived at.

E0 Senator Seward recently made a
speech Ut banquet given by the sons of
New England at the Astor House, New
York. in which he said that he believed
that secession was stronger on the night
Of the 9th Of November, than at the pres.
ent time, and that every day that has
set upon mollified passions and pre-
judices. and that If time is only Civ
en-. sixty more suns will g;Ye a much
better and more cheerful atmosphere. In
speaking Of having me, Thurlow Weed
Mr.. Seward said be told the latter thai
be repudiated all compromises that Rcnn-
sylyania, New York, and New England
cannot stand upon. Mr.. Seward evil
dently declined to commit himself at
this dinner table speech. but il is clear
that while desiring to be kind and con.
c,.,a,ory in tone, he is strongly against
any sacritic. Of principle ID 'bs contest.

Ryz- The Eastern stock market h

Rs- The Eastern stock market has
had a constantly increasing feeling OF
irmness for the past week, and prices
have advanced considerably. The for
eign demand for railroad securities have
been material, and ander it prices have
gone up. The Bank Commissioners OF
Illinois have extended the time of the
call for additional securities from the de-
preciated banks, which is considered
equivalent TO total withdrawal Of the
call, and their bills will probably again
be considered good currency, There is
a plethora of gold in the bank vaults of
New York, and a consequent easier feel
ing in the discount market. Grain has
also advanced, and, much to the disap-
pointment Of the disunionsts, instead Of
ruin and desolation following in the train
of South Carolina secession, buoyant
and gratiied feeling is evident 1t is a
pity that the country won't quietly con-
sent to be ruined politically and fnan-
cialIy by the fire eaters.

The New Tariff Bill.

The new Tariff bill, which, since the
agreement of the Committee OF Conference,
in striking out the duty on lea and coffee,
may be regarded as having passed, is exs
pecled to yield ar increased revenue of
Sl9 92O, $50 on the principal Imports. At
least such is the estimate OF the Hon. VIM.
Bigler, of Pennsylvania, who, in defending
the bill in ,hs Senate, remarked in sub
stance as follows:
For the last yerr the i'm pertetion of wool
en-. amounted 1887 ,93, coo, and the duties
10 SS ,155;0G9. The estimate is that the bill
pending will increase these duties 50 279,
600. The i'm poriatiou oil silks for The last
year amounted TO $50, 767 900, and the duty

poriations las, year OF manu- iaclnres OF fax

the duty TO Sl,72S 600. THE estimated in
crease of the duly is 1913, 5ee. The impor-
talioq Of iron, and The manufactures OF ron
amounted 10 SIS. .726 900 for the last year,
and the duty 10 81 45s 600 The estimated
lincreace under the pending bills 81 ,l23, 500.

amounted to S4 49, 900, and at the present
