Seymour and Blair.

The republican papers are indus
trious in circulating the story that the
democracy are about to withdraw the
names of Seymour and Blair and sub
stitute' in their place. the names of
Chase and Hancock! There is no
foundation for this rumor; and it is
put in circulation with a view tie dis
tract and divide the democratic party.
1t had its origin in the brain Of the
same mischief makers that originated
the story that the democracy would
nominate S P. Chase for the Presi-
dency in July last. The democracy
will never consent to the nomination
of Salmon P. Chase upon such a plat
form as his friends brought FORWARD in
July. We have our candidates in the
field, and intend to stand by them, and
see that they are elected. This dodge
of the Treasury thieves, will not save
their whisky-bloated candidate from
the defeat he deserves. No trick. or
calumny is too mean for them to re-
sort to in this matter.
The leading members of the COM
mittee, Messrs. Tilden, Belmont and
Schell say there is no authority to
change front. All consider it totally
impracticable, and hence, cannot en-
tcrtain such an ides. The democracy
are determined to push forward their
columns till victory crowns our ban
ners. We are sure of carrying New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey,
Delaware and the balance of the
States. Since the year
1852 Jul prospects haver not been
brighter for aeeting our candidates.
All we want is a fair opportunity for
the people of the whole country to
vote their sentiments without being
menced by the military tyrants ne W
trampling down the people, and all
will be right. To this end the Presi-
dent has recently issued a proclama-
ton allowing all the Southern States
to vote for President and Vice Presi-
denf. If this proclamation is carried
out in good faith, the election of Sey-
mour and Blair is placed beyond
doubt.

viii Grant Resign.

Upon the question of the resigna-
ton of Grant, as Lieutenant General
Of the army, the Cleveland Plain
dealer very p~ertinently remarks:
at has always been customary for
Presidential candidates to resign any
position they may hold at the time. OF
their nomination, and a refusal to do so
has been deemed not only highly indie
corus, but as indicating great doubt
on their part of success in the cleo
ton. If such a rule was incumbent
on men holding civil positions, how
much more is it in q Presidential
candidate holding the highest military

The Animus of the Republican Party,

The Democratic Journals and
statesmen of this country, since the
nomination of General Grant for the
Presidency, have endeavored to con-
vince the rejecting portion of the
American people that he is destitute
of all the qualities of a great political
leader and statesman. This incapac-
ty is so apparent that some of his
strongest friends are compelled to
admit it. Wendell Philips who pos
sesses nor brains than any of the
Republican speakers and writere,
says: >fH1
'The people have been largely ed
ucated to the Nations necessity and
duty, and do not even reflect to put
off any share Of it on the shoulders of
Grant, or fancy that he can or will
lead anybody, or anything. Ihsy.see
IN him a tool, not a leader"
In. the foregoing, it is plainly de-
clared, that General Grant is of no
consequence as a leader; but that the
disunionists, such as Philips, Colfax
and Julian, intend to use him as a
teel to carry out their revenges; and
to effectually destroy the Union of
the States
Again he says:
Faulty and defective as the Re
publican party is, still it holds In its
hands our only chance of safety. 1t
il . party without principles or lead
ers. Its selfish men cannot lead it /;
and its honest men viii not follow"
The only safety of the Radical
abolition thieves consists then in
electing a man to the Presidency who
il without principles or capacity, that
he, may be used by the villains who
are moxing Heaven and Earth to
break up this Union. He repeats:
"Our latest criticism on the Repub-
lican party is that they, by sheer inea-
pacity, hare pta the nation into Rnneees-
sary peril. When the impeachment
failed it was madness to go on and
admit the rebel States to. their old
places"
The Southern States were eve
out of the Union. The raj was a +
RED on to keep them in the Union /;
and if they are out, the war was a
failure; or the abolitionists have fore
cd lhem out of the Union. If the
Southern States got out, it was through
the disun1on, abolition party for they
had evidently laiddowntheir arms, and
submitted to the laws, and are now, and
have been ready to resume their dn-
ties and places as States in the Union
as formed by our patriotic fathers.
Again:
"Grant's election melts the millions
into one indissoluble whole; calling
us to stamp on it what legend God
wills. AS in 1861, the nation now
can be saved only as a nation of JUS
tice and liberty. To his amazement
Lincoln found himself borne up and
on to be the shield ofthe negro. We
said, in november, 1860, for the first
time in our history the slave has elect
ed a President" The first day of
january, 1868 justified the assertion.

oUR FOREIGN COMMERCE..

Rear Admiral ID. ID. Porter in recent article
in The GALAXY speaks of our foreign COM
merce as on the decline. The Admiral doubt
less refers to our navigation and shipping In
terests which have in no degree recovered from
the havoc made in them by the war. Our for
eign commerce is carried on almost entirely in
foreign vessels, and our so-called importatiOns
are becoming very largely mere shipments by
foreign manufacturers and merchants to their
agents here. But if by foreign commerce is
meant the amount of foreign goods imported
and consumed by us, and of specie and bonds
shipped to pay for them, then our foreign
commerce was never so great as during the
period since 1865, when our impOrtatlons
rose to a gold value never attained before
Our foreign imports amounted for the year
ending June 80 1868, to $243, 1905 as against
about S27S 900, 900 for that ending June 30, 1867
and $685. 1000 for the year ending June 80
1866 The years ending June 30, 1866 and 1867
witnessed the largest importatlOns ever known
OF the s243,7l3,0 imported during the past
year, S77,254, 1872 were dry goods, Sl6O,67O,32O
were general merchandise consisting of metals,
hardware, wines, sugars, tea. coffee, spices, &C.,
and all other articles of general merchan-
die. Our imports are all stated in gold values
Our total exports for the same period ex-
elusive of gold were only Ss3,4l5,O4 in cur
rency values, or about $500 900 in gold values.
This leaves a balance of trade against us of
$18S, 100000 of which our export of specie has
paid $40,103, Co., leaving still unpaid the enor-
nous balance of about $l39OcO,0OO, for which
we have undoubtedly exported mainly our ma
tional bonds In short, the mortgage held by
European capitalists on American industry has
been increased during the past year by about
St39OO0,OOO in gold values, which, with our
bonds selling at ~, it would require about
$l7SOOO,OOO in bonds to carry. Can it be Won

THE RUSSIANS IN CENTRAL 1914.

The time is rapidly approaching when all the
small chieftans who still maintain nominal
rule in Central Asia must give way to either
Russia or England, and when the borders of
these two nations will meet. Both are look
ing forward to that time with great anxiety,
and are preparing for conflict which appears
TO be unavoidable. In anticipation OF such an
event, both are now making extraOrdi-
nary efforts to gain the affection of the
natives. Russia, by her recent conquests in
Central Asia, has received large additions
to her MOhammedan population, and
all the country which, still neutrality-suspicious.,
awaits absorption by either Russia or England,
is inhabited by Mohammedans. According to
Russian accounts, the Mohammedans of the new
Russian Province of Turlustan are highly elated
at their incorporation with the Russian Empire.
Now an English dispatch from Bombay an
nounces that Feroze Khan, Mussulman OF
great influence in Central Asia, has become the
ally of Russia The English evidently attrib-
ute importance to the fact, and suspect Russia
of concOcting dangerous plots with the
Mohammedan leaders of Central Asia. Few
Trustworthy facts are known concerning
this point but the one fact which is fully es-
tabished, the intimate relations which have
recently sprung up between Russia and Persia,
is well calculated to strengthen the suspicion.
Russia, while stirring up the Christians in
European Turkey against their Mohammedan
sovereign feels not the least scruple in estab-
fishing a close alliance with another Moham-
medan Prince, and will feel no scruple, If she
can, to stir up the Mobammedan fanaticism all
through Central Asia and use it for the extension
of her own influence and her power. Both England
and China have a considerable and disaflected
Mohammedan population, and Mohammedan
rebellions in China and British India may be-
come, at any time, formidable weapons IN the
hands of Russia 1t is, therefore, plain that
the alliance of Mohammedan leaders in Cen
trail Asia with Russia will awaken anything
but pleasant feelings in the minds of English
men. On the arrival of our papers from Brit
ish India and ST. Petersburg We shall probably
learn some interesting details about feroze
Khan and his alliance with the Russians

Senator Ross of Kansas has introduced
nice little bill, authorizing the President to sp-
point Commits" to consist of three per-
sons, to inyeSti y, el.,-! Of white persons
for damages C6nmit,ed by Indians in Kansas,
and all claims of Indians for spoliatiOnS COM
mitted by the whites; to assess the amount Of
the damages and report the same to Congress.
All spoliations of whites by Indians are to be
assessed against the tribes, and collected in the
only possible way, of course, by making war
on them and taking away their reservations Of
land. All spoliatiOns of Indians by whites are
to be paid for out of the United States Treas
ury. This is very nice scheme of plumber,
especially as the President would probably APP
point Ross and bis friends on the Commission.
May we suggest to Senator Ross the propriety
of so changing the rules of Congress that any
act designed to admit the forearm of private
individuals into the United States Treasury as
far as to the elbow need not be printedf The
easy perusal of such bills, printed in clear
type, on good white paper, tends TO lessen the
confidence of the people in the Roman virtue
of their Senators.
