financial policy Of the preceding administra-
tion, as 1t otherwise would; and thus the
stability Of commercial arrangements would
not depend upon the maintenance OF any
party. In proportion, therefore, to the GER
tainty Of justice which either side to these
controversies feels, should be its anxiety to
keep its dogmas out Of mere partisan politics.
IT. however, the managers of the Republican
party, elated with success and over-in1uenced
by special interests, should insist upon con-
formity to their financial views as a test of
party fidelity, they will certainly destroy its
supremacy. For by virtue of the very intelli-
gence, education, and morality of its members,
of which the party is so Justly proud it ne
oessarily includes within itself multitude of
conflicting opinions, deliberately formed and
oonscientiously adhered to by men who will
not suffer dictation. We suppose that party
caucus at Washington would decide in favor
of an imitation of the currency; but If it should
proceed to rule out of the party all who re-
fused to endorse that sopinion, it would lose
almost every Eastern State.
Party ties hang more loosely than they
formerly did. Twenty years ago a majority of
ten thousand was enough to determine the
political character of State for years. Now
majorities Of thirty to fifty thousand are no
guarantee of permanenoe. The defeated party
is not disheartened; the successful party can
not venture to relax its efforts. A greater
responsibility, therefore, rests upon party
managers to avoid needless tests, and to
abstain from attempts to drive men as intelli-
gent as themselves and more independent.

The Cotton Trade.

From Ule World.
OF all the nations abroad, England is the
one whose power and prosperity rests most
upon cotton; and which was most dependent
upon this country for supply of the article,
until the war here cut off her supply and COM
pelied her to cultivate the plant within the
limits of her own possessions.
The countries which are the most successful
in cultivating cotton next to the United States,
and whose growths have, for years, been
placed by the side of our own in foreign
markets-but with only small degree of sue
cess-are Brazil, Egypt, and the East Indies.
These countries having had experience in the
cultivation of the staple, and possessing
facilities for its production proPortionate to
the extent of the consumption, 1t only re-
manned for them, on the withdrawal Of their
successful American rival to extend their
operations and increase their facilities to the
highest degree within their power. .is

Mexico and the TndIaMs-TwO More
erwin Relics'' for the Next New Party.
From the Herald
There are two nuisances ON this continent
which it is time we should abate, both in
respect to our material interests, and in the
discharge of the moral obligations of civilized
people. 1t was once prescribed as a remedy
against the Indians that they should be wiped
out. 1t seems likely that this prescription
must become a policy, and it is in no way
probable that the continent will be at rest
until something very nearly like the same
rule is applied to the Mexicans, as they now
are. Mexieans and Indians not taxed are the
ogres of the hour; and the party that shall
come before the country with the abatement
of the Mexican nuisance and the Indian
nuisance as the main points of its platform;
that shall promise immunity to our prairie
railway enterprises and security to settlers,
with the show of keeping its promises, and
that shall also guarantee the good conduct
of our inongrel neighbors-suoh party will
have a better claim to the support of the
American people than had the Republican
party, with its famous and delusive fulmina-
tions against the twin relics of barbarism.
Mexico is to-day just where she was in 1858,
when, even under the presidency of the slow
and careful Buchanan, the propriety of estab-
fishing a forcible protectorate was weighed by
the country and proposed in the Executive
| message to Congress. Anarchy then, as now,
i was supreme; but even then, though of course
no interest of an American citizen was safer
than any other interest within Mexico, no such
act was committed as the recent seizure of a
| passenger from the. deck of AN American ship.
Interference In Mexican affairs was based then
