General Grant and the Business Interests
oil the COuntry-StLet Us Have Peace.''
From, the N. T. Herald. r.t
With the announcement OF the ticket and
platform of the Democratic National Conyen-
tion, gold began to 60 up aud our national
securities began to 60 down. The Vermont
election checked this upward tendency of
gold, and since the Maine election the Wall
street gold gamblers, operating for rise,
have been reduced to very narrow margin OF
incidental fluctuations. There was some
degree of uneasiness among the holders of the
fve-twenties aud the ten fortes, but it has
ceased to exist. There were some misgivngs
among capitalists and merchants touching the
safety Of money investments, involving in
their profits or repayment the hazards of a
revolution in our financial system, as one of
the probable consequences of this years
political elections for the next Presidency and
the next Congress; but all such misgivings
since the Maine election seem to have disap-
peared. Among all our financial and business
classes sense of security appears to be felt in
the future which can only be explained upon
the basis OF a prevailing confidence in Gene
raj Grants election.
But why this confidence in General Grant
1t Is because from his proposition for peace
I" "Let US have peace"-the people believe that
with his election there will be peace. He does
not contemplate any violent collision nor any
embarrassing conflict with Congress- he has no
idea of any attempt to upset the Southern re-
construction acts of Congress according to the
policy of Johnson or the policy of Blair. On
the contrary, from General Grants letter Of
acceptance OF the Chicago nomination there is
every reason to expect that on the money
question and the reconstruction question he
will be content to wait while before disturb
ins 'he eAlstiHS Order OF IuIngs, loavius Own
gress, trade, and the political troubles of the
South, for time, to the natural laws of
gravitation. Nevertheless there is powerful
impression abroad that General Grant, from
his we'll defined conservative character and
liberal opinions will not countenance apy
further radical extravaganza or excesses in
money matters or in political matters, but
Will with firm hand hold the two houses to
an honest Interpretation of the Chicago plat
form, and to general line of policy which
will give us peace. ...
The Tammany Convention, we say, under
the acceptable banner of Chase, in satisfying
all the conservative business classes and inte.
rests that change in the Government would
bring no violent change in business affairs,
could have carried the day even against Gen.
Grant as the representative of the radicals.
But with degree of folly and stupidity
which exceeds almost any foolish thing re-
corded OF the Bourbons, the jugglers of the
Tammany Convention contemptuously cast
away the prize within their grasp. A powerful
body of the conservative Republicans stood
ready to join the Democracy under the banner
OF Chief Justice Chase, in opposition even to
oen. drant as the radical candidate, and for the
purpose OF putting an end to the corruptions,
spoliations, and usurpations of the radical
party by putting them out of power. But
the Tammany Convention would not have it
SO. They preferred, under q representative
Peace Democrat during the war, to fight over
again their disastrous campaign of 1864 on
the platform that the war was failure and
that in laying down their arms, after four
years. struggle against the Constitution, the
Rebel States, as If nothing had happened but
an election riot, were restored to all their
rights In the Union on the same footing with
the loyal States. ..9l .U. -
Upon this issue the Republicans are con-
Quoting the campaign, and we see that the
Iammany ticket and platform and the Demo-
cratic journals, leaders and stump orators,
North and South, in their belligerent threat
enipgs, have furnished the necessary political
capital for the election of General Grant.
The Democratic organization with the odium
revived against it as the peace party of the
war, has placed itself under the additional
stigma of the war party against the peace in
prooaiming all the reconstruction acts of
Congress growing out of the war funcon-
stltutiopal, revolutionary, null and void"
The Union party of the war, therefore, thus
challenged again upon the issues of 1864 and
1866 have rallied and are rallying as under
Lincoln, around the banner of Grant. This
fact being apparent on all sides, the conclu-
sion Is inevitable that Grant must be triumph
antly elected. Our financial and business
men see that such is the drift OF the popular
tide, and in the record and the character and
conservative ideas OF General Grant they feel
that under him the interests OF the people
win be safe, that this Presidential election
will be followed by nothing like financial
panic, nor by political chaos, but by better
timer, assured prosperity, and a substantial
peace. Hence there are no unusual excite
ments from day to day in Wall street, and no
apprehensions to disturb the business opera
tions or calculations of our bankers, capital
lists, merchants, manufacturers, or agricul-
tural classes.
