The Greeley definition of Com
merce is like this: term invented
and employed by political sharpers
and economic sciolists,. which "stands
between producer and consumer, and
derives all its gains by despoiling
both. How the Chinese Mandarins
would chuckle over such q definition
of their policy, of rigid exclusion, and
hasten to crown the author with do
mestic poppy leaves. The old maxim
says that exchange is no robbery ;"
but here comes a new light into the
world, sputtering its tallow into the
public face, and denouncing all men
as tssharpers," or ridiculing them as
"sciolists," who hold that production
has neither stimulus nor value with
out, consumption, and that the very
link that brings and holds them to-
gether is exchange, 70 Greeley phi
losophy, then, scouts all trade as rob-
berry. It would have factory, a coal
mine, bed of iron ore, and blast
furnace at the back side of every farm,
and a theater, with domestic actors
only, in front of every dwelling. Mer-
chants are pirates in the eye of this
superior philosophy, and the master
of the system would no doubt yield
his views adverse to capital punish
ment for the sake of hanging them
all. -

THE GIFT of making everything ap-
pear lovely, and of suspending the fl

one peculiar to latter-day Secretaries
of the Treasury. We doubt if there
could be any possible combination Of
circumstances which would prevent
the usual monthly exhibit from show
ing "a large reduction of the debit
Unfortunately, however, the figures
do not always bear out the statement.
Mr.. Boutwell, makes it appear that on
the first of May the governmental in
-debtedness was about six millions less
than on the first of April. AT such a
rate of reduction it is of course easy
to see an early liquidation and speedy
resumption. Comparing May l, 1869,
with May l, 1867, we find the follow
ing condition of affairs:
