UNITED KINGDOM.

"Thus it appears by the census of each
nation" says Mr.. Walker, "that, each in
creasing in the same ratio respectively as
for the last decade, the wealth of the
United States in 1880 would exceed that of
the United Kingdom $23, TAB ,5l8, s4e {;
that in 1890 it would be much more than
double, and in leOOapproachipg quadruple
that of the Quilted kingdom. When we
reflect that England increases in wealth
much more rapidly than any other country
of Europe, the value of these statistics may
be estimated, as proving how readily oul
national debt can be extinguished without
oppressive taxation" ~
Let us not forget that our nation is yet
in its earliest youth; that if we take care
to establish liberty and promote intelli-
gence within al9Our boundaries, we may
expect the United States to endure as long
at least as the English nation has lasted;
that We have as yet but scratched the
ground with hoe, while in Europe it has
been already trenched and manured; that
our greatest sources of wealth are untouch.
ed; and that while We are free we shall
enjoy not. only our natural increase, but
the enormous addition of population and
wealth which comes to us from the fact
that we drain over populated Europe of its
laboriug classes.

THE FAIR.

Most all our West Virginia exchanges
have something to say in the way of good
word aud an appeal 10 behalf of our SAM.
tsry Fair. The interest in it is becoming
general aud every day it seems to extend.
We can assure our country friends that their
efforts are appreciated here, and also that
our good people are working like beavers
to make the fair success worthy of the
great national and humane end for which
it has been undertaken. 1t is no mere city
or local enterprise. Neither does it begin
and end with our State. 1t is part of a
grand progrsmme, as vide as the whole
country, to afford aid and alienation to the
patriot soldiers of every county and State
in the Union who may be wounded on the
battle field or sick in the hospitals. Such
scheme should enlist the earnest and
active sympathy of every man and woman
everywhere within a hundred mlles of
Wheeling, and farther. The fair is as
much the concern of our friends over in
Ohio and out in Pennsylvania and out in
our State, and all along the border, as far
as the news of it can reach, as it is ours
here where it is to take place.
Friends of the Union-friends of the SOL
der everywhere, do not let US appeal to
you in vain for aid. Send something to the
fair. Send even what you may consider
tribes. Send anything that will increase
it's attractions-anything that will swell
the proceeds to the small extent of one
farthing. 1t will all count to you and the
good cause. All who read this appeal have
something that will be of use. Send it
on. 1t will coat you no inconvenience and
will help the great end that we have in
view.
There remains but little time. 1t is ne
cessary to be active. Nearly all our peo-
pie here are giving literally of their means
and their time. Indeed the fair has become
the absorbing business of the city. Will
not our friends in the country join with as
and make it their business also2 Will not
every one send dollar or tWo2 At no
time have the people of all classes been 30
we'll able to help such grand charity. At
no time in their lives in all probability will
they be called upon to cooperate in SO
noble scheme of humanity. The call that
is made to each and all is the call not only
of patriotism but of common humanity.
Even the disloyal can we'll afford to give
literally to the fair, for its proceeds will go
to minister to the comfort of their wounded
partisans who may fall into our hands as
prisoners. Like the blessed rain the re.
suits of this scheme of charity will fall
upon the just and the uujust-the loyal and
the disloyal.
We appeal then to all, without any dis
tlnctious wbatever-to unite in this fair,
and to do, each one, all that can be done to
make it a perfect success. Push on the
work With an energy aud liberality that
has never yet been known in this section
of country.

The money and stock market la New
York ia experiencing violent ups and
downs. Colds worth one day ten or IF.
teen per cent. more or less than on others.
Stocks rise and fall between boards In a
way that defes all calculation. For in.
stance, the stock of our neighbor over the
riVer-the Cleveland and Pittsburgh road
is one day down to ITO and the next dav
to ll6. Somebody makes and some.
body loses on the margin certain. The road ia
reekoned, too, now in New York, not as a
fancy stock, but as security, paying reg
nlar dividends. Yet see how it vibrates.
The same, only much more so, is the case
with the purely speculative stocks.
OF course these fluctuations influence all
the markets for all sorts Of merchandise to
some extent. The expansions and con-
traditions of money are indicated by what
are called "ShRres"-that is railroad
stocks. If it is thought that money is 90
ing TO be tight, stocks tumble, and. pe,
contra if it is even only partly suspicioned
that more legal tenders are to be printed.
the bubbles at once initiate, and along with
them tall the apples in the tub" such as
cotton mess pork, and all the items of the
different markets, commence to float up on
the surface very buoyantly. Never were
such times as these. Never may they come
againI Legitimate trade is puzzled and
demoralized. Gambling and scrambline
are the order of the day.
We hope 1t is true that Mr.. Chase is 90
ing to depend on loans hereafter, and not
put out dollar more of currency. We
hope also it is true that Congress is not
going to adjourn without increasing the tax
on the vast issues of currency that are pu,
out by the banks. We published table
yesterday on our first page showing the
mischief these excessive and extravaganza
issues were doing. Let the reader turn to
that table and peruse it again. 1t is these
Issues, notify the government, but by the
banks, that are doing the damage. OF
course the government paper on the top of
these foods from the State banks helps on
the initiation. There is no remedy but
steep taxation and determined contraction
in the way of bonds. We pray Mr.. Chase
and Congress not to let this session pass
away without the Inauguration of vigorous
measures of finance. Better that the gov.
eminent bonds should sell under par rather
than an other dollar be issued. Tax the
banks-tax incomes-tax imports and sell
bonds, but print not an other dollar. This
ought to be the shout that should 20 up
from the people in every little ward or
town meeting.

THERE is no use in croaking about the
slowness of the army news these last few
days, and we hope our Union people will
not indulge in it. The President of the
United States is not man to make rash
prediction, especially as it is the only one
he has veutured during the war, and re-
member therefore, what he said at Phila-
delphia the other day, viz: that Grant
had taken step in crossing the James that
he wOuld.never retraOe until Richmond fell.
The decisive stroke is near at hand. We
are confronting the strength of the rebel
lion in a remarkably concentrated space.
end according as the difficulties shall be
go will be the magnitude of the results to

That's what's the matter with the war.
General Crooks is Brigadier General and
