TnE Democrat (Brick Pomcroy) has a
startler on "The Fearful Decline Of our
Commerce" }" In which he saysi
"The total decline In the foreign tonnage
OF our country has been over a million and q
quarter Of tons, which Is about 30 per cent.
less by the war and the Radical policy since
the war"
The decline In our foreign tonnage Ia
wholly the work Of Bricks confederates,
Laird, semmes, Maffit, Braine 4 Co. Pos
sibly, they may delight In "Radical policy"
but that seems to us queer name for their
doings.-N Y. Tribune.
