The Balance OF Power.


The London Times, in commenting upon
the Balance Of Power" among the nations
of the earth, says that while every effort
should be made for the maintenance Of peace,
we arc moved more by moral considerations
than by those Of traditional European policy.
We may say at once that nee care rcry MHc
for tie balance Of po,oer, which within the
last two or three years has significantly disap-
peared from the preamble to the Mutiny act
A war between France and Prussia wodld be
war for the left bank Of the Rhine, and
would no doubt be fought out until the ca-
pacity Of the one to conquer or Of the othor
to defend that debatablc land was fully de-
cided. The military result Of such a war
would affect US but little The time has
passed when it could matter to England
whether any Western power possessed few
square miles or less, or the command Of this
or that fortress. Since the last settlement Of
Europe, States have come to maturity in tn,
world which threaten to dwarf the ordinary
members of the European system. Russia
and the United States are the powers which
the next generation will look upon as tn,
most formidable. Moreover, the interests anC
attention of England are chiefly concerned
with her own growing colonists and with tn,
vast populations Of Asia. The result Of
Franco Prussian war is Of little moment t,
us politically, but we have an interest, it
common with the whole Of Europe, that tn,
two most advanced nations Of the Contiucn
should not plunge into contest, the effect o
which may be to divide them for generation
by an enduring hatred How much the rca
strength of civilization may lose by such
CONFUSION it is impossible to foretell. w
can only be certain that the Importance o
Western Europe, the principal field of huma
progress, will be diminished perhaps perma
nently, by fratricidal strife.

Union Sunday School Picnic.

Pursuant to arrangements made at the Camp

the camp ground, Thursday, Sept. sth, to the
number OF about 800. The day was one Of Ma.

pour their hearts out in thankfnlness to God. II
being a basket picnic, little groups could be
seen about the time for dinner, scattered here and
there, doing justice to the good things that had
been prepared for the occasion
Dinner over, the audience was called IN ordo,
by Mr. Joseph Could and invited to take seat.

Wool Manufactures.

The yearly value Of wool manufactures Of
the United States, and of those manufactures
in which wool is a component part, is said to
be not less than sl75,000000. OF these
goods, more than four.f1hs are made from
American woods. The coarse carpet woods,
which are not grown here at all, the worsted
combing woods, and the fine clothing woods,
which are only grown by us in limited guam
titles, go to make up the rest. The annual
consumption of goods in the United States is
estimated to equal S240,0OO,OO0. In 1868
more than slO,OOOOOO were spent by US for
imported dress goods while for imported cas-.
simeres, we paid out nearly S7,000,000 The
value of the worsted manufactures Of Eng
land probably exceeds sl00,000,00O 1t was
90,000,000 in 1857, and has since increased
largely, being in fact the great wooden manu-
iacture of the Kingdom.
Here we have an illustration Of the practi
cal operations of the Protective System upor
the manufacture Of a class Of goods in which
wool is component part Were it not ioi
judicious protection, the s240,000,000 worth
of goods we annually consume, would be man
ufactured in England and other foreign coun
tries but as it is, we consume only sos 600,
600 of wooden goods more than we manuiac
ture And if the Protective Principle SHOULD
continue to be the policy of the Government
this s65, 900 600 that we now pay for foreigl
goods, will, in all probability, 60 into the
pockets Of the manufacturers here in the

Vice President colnx,s Retirement.

Vice President Colfax in recent letter to
the Brooklyn Union, declares his intention
to retire from public life at the close Of his
present official terms as follows:
" thank you for your kind wishes in my be-
half, but intend with this term to close my pub
lie life, absolutely will then have had eigh-
teen years of continuous service at Washington
mostly on stormy seas long enough for any one,
| and my ambition is all gratiiied and satisfied.
| Gen. Grant will doubtless be re-nomlnated, ana |
| think should be.
NV articles and speeches show my faith in him
and my regard for him. but the people will want
some Eastern or Southern Vice President, and
| they should have one. | shall leave public life
voluntarily and without regret, and expect to go
into active business.
My friends here all know this determination,
and | assure you it is no pretence, but reality,
as you will see
This is the last campaign in which shall par
ticpate, and feel as happy at the prospective
release from the exaetions, cares, misrepresenta-
tons and excitements of political life as a student
who is about to graduate and go forth from the
walls in which he has been for years, free from
professor and critics. When you think it all
over, you will concede that it is wise determine
| ton
We can say in all frankness that we regret
to see that MIR. Coltax has adopted such a
resolution, for we have few men who have,
and deserve to have so strong hold upon the
public confidence. He has yet, however
about three years to remain in the high post
now occupied by him. His resolution may
be laid on the table, reconsidered, or indef'
nitely postponed.
The Brooklyn Union seizcs the occasion tC
nominate Frederick Douglass as Mr. Colfax''
successor. There is no need of immoderatC
haste in such matter. Mr. Douglass is ad
mirably well placed where he now is-thC

cally welcomed, and that under its lead a new
and vigorous effort will be made to carry OIL
the contest with Prussia. Trochu in whom
there is general confidence, has full control Of
military operations, and Paris is in condi.
ton to stand a siege Of several months.
But the new government has most diff
cult part to act, and it would not be wondered
at If it should succumb to the storms that
will assai it. Peace must be made with
Prussia at some rate, and 10 terms that arc
likely to be acceptable to Germany can be
expected which would not condemn the gov
ernment accepting them in the eyes Of tn,
French people. But it seems to be the gen
eral opinion that the other powers of Europe
will offer their good Offices and secure peace
at some rate, without much more fighting
and every American, at least, will hope tina
it will come in such form as to guarantee tn,
permanence Of the republic and new era o
peaceful prosperity to France.

The important interests Of the day are be-

The War in Europe.

As we predicted in our last issue, Repub-
lican form of government has been inaugu-
rated in France and France is ruled to-day
by those who, for the last twenty years, have
suffered the most from the intolerabc tyranny
Of the Emperor.
Our government has very properly and
very promptly recognized the new Republic,
aud our minister in Paris has received at the
hands of the enthusiastic Parisians, on this ac-
count, such ovations as we're never voluntari-
ly rendered the Emperor during his twenty
years reign.
Contrary to our hope and expectation, how,
ever, the brilliant successes Of the Prussians,
recorded by US last week, have not had the
effect Of putting stop to the war. King
William has pushed his army on to Paris, and
is already within a few miles of the entrench.

Effects OF War on Commerce.

The opinion which very extensively pre-.
walls that our country must reap great ad-
vantages from the war in Europe is clearly
erroneous AS we have before pointed out,
Western farmers may be enabled to realize
comparatively high prices for their food pro-
ducts, and ship-ownegs may obtain remuner-
alive returns from the carrying trade, while
the war continues; but the possibility of
such increased gains is likely to be more than
offset by the losses in other directions, for the
business affairs of this country are so intima.
tely interviewer with those of the two great
contending powers that what unfayorably af.
fects them must react, to some extent, upon
the United States
During the term of hostlites, the belliger-
ents will be comparative non.producers, and
hence they are not likely to be in a position
to carry on the usual exchange of products
with us. We shall lose much of the patron,
age of both nations for some of our leading
staples, such as cotton, tobacco and petroleum
as the same people in condition of peace
were wealthy and capable Of buying ioregr
articles of convenience of luxury, but must be
come so impoverished by few months o
wastefu expenditure of war, that they cal
no longer be purchasers of American com
modties to anything like the usual extent.
A prominent Western contemporary, witt
single eye to the farming interest, think
this war is just what is needed to place oui
country on its feet again. 1t is of opinion
that the United States will be called upon t
/, supply the beligerents with about all the nee
essaries Of life, in return for which we shall
get our pay in hard money. Such an argu
ment pursued to its logical result, become
simply an absurdity. If the demands O
war did not withdraw vast numbers of th
population of the nations engaged in it fror
the labors of production, and if war did no
result in great waste and losses, the cas-
would be different.
But it is impossible for two populous an
wealthy nations like France and Prussia t
virtually cease from the avocatiOns of peace
without sensibly affecting other countric
with which we have been accustomed to cal
ry on large commerce. So far from reck
oning our prospective gains by the folly Q
these rival powers, the masses of this countr
have cause to deplore the disasters that mu'
inevitably flow from this war which they hav
/ brought about and from the effects of whc
we cannot hope altogether to escape,
