onR cOMMABD OF TIE PACIFIC,

Secretary BoutEel1, in his recent speech
at Boston, satated that, to his Knowledge,
the Sandwich Islands had once been offered
to The Government Of the United States.
As the Secretary cannot be supposed to
refer to any event which became known to
him only through his position as member
Of President Grants Cabinet, We must pre-
sumo that the event occurred at some pre-
vious date. Certainly, in the light OF our
present relations to the Pacific and the
populous Oriental nations bordering upon
it, no offer Of jurisdiction over the Sand
wich Islands could be madc without e1-
citing the active interest Of our whole peo-
pie
The movement now on foot in British
Columbia for the snncxation Of that vast
Territory to the United States, and the sim
ultaueons yipdication OF their independ,
ence Of Canada by the Red River settle
ments, point forward to an early date when
the entire Pacific coast above the California
Peninsula, and the whole Of the great basin
Of the Red River, Saskatchewan, and
Maclenzie's River, through to our Alaskan
possessions and the Arctic Sea, shall be
covered by the American flag. While the
importance Of this extension to the north.
ward would be very limited, yet the e1clu-
| sive command these possessions would give
to us Of all the outlets to the Pacific Ocean
which are within the thermal lines o1
enterprise and commerce would be
Of incalculable future Importance. Il

FINANCE.

In local finances there has been no
change which our readers did not antici-
pate. Money has become closer day by
day and shows no evidence Of ease before
the cotton crop begins to arrive. We
u confess, however, that we do not be-
lieve money to be as scarce as would APP
pear on the surface of affairs, but there Is
a wan of confidence in the mture-a teel-
ing that the complications in European
political affairs may affect this country in
some way, or that the growing crops may
disappoint the expectations of our plant
ers and merchants, and money is there
fore hard TO obtain. Besides, many of
u cotton factors rave advanced already
his season as much as is prudent. Ger
tain it is tina our banks are not willing
lenders, put under peculiar circumstance
thew will discount for favored customers,
or where they want TO win over a custO-
mer they can hud the means 10 take his
paper.
The movement in Exchange is not large,
with only small amounts making. Rates
are firm at par buying; checking at &c
premium without exception.
City Scrip is duh. A round lot could
not lind a buyer at 60e, though small
pieces are taken at that figure by dealers,
who sell at goose readily. As a general
thing they are well supplied. County
Warrants are dull also-60c is offered
for available pieces. Selling at 62963c.
Tennessee money is in some demand at
70G7lc buying; selling at 72G73c.
Stocks and Bonds are nominal in price.
Some few lots which have been held as
collateral have been offered within the
week, but sales have not occurred except
in a few isolated cases. Memphis and
Charleston stock is in some demand to
fill a small order or two held here, and q
lot was reported as offered to-day at Soc,
hut we could trace il TO nothing reliable.
Gold has varied some during the week
and closes to-day in New York at Il "a
IS. Dealers buy to ship exclusively and
keep a margin of 1@lk on New York
rates. Offerings are small, rarely running
up to $1,000 in a lot.
Governments at noon to day in New
York were strong with a tendency mp
ward. The bears were carrying.

These rates apply on all freight from East
St Louis, whether nom EaStSl- Louis NILS on

Rates from local statiOuS6 cents per lou ABOVE
tnese rates.
The Democrat, in publishing the above,
remarks: As a consequence of the sud-
den PRONUNCIATION Of the above advance,
business of all kinds was stsgnated on
Change to-day. We protest against this
abrupt method of changing tariffs, and if
railroad men will not exercise more con
sideration for the profits of Others by
giving a reasonable notice of an advance
or reduction, we think combinations of
shippers against them would be perfectly
UNSUITABLE. About one million barrels
OF Hour are exported by rail from this
city per annum and could one road or
through route secure the carrying of this
large amount of freight il seems reasona-
BILE TO suppose such route could do it at a
minimum figure. Now as the railroad
men are so ready to combine against ship
pers and issue what they are pleased TO
style their "joint rates." suppose our
fOur shippers try the effect OF a combina-
ton against the railroads and give to
whatever road would make the lowest bid
the entire business for a year. Business
cannot be satisfactorily conducted upon
such an uncertain and 1uctuating basis
as east ward rail freights have proven for
the past few years, especially a business
where manufacturing is necessitated as is
the case in this four business. There is a
bottom figure somewhere at which the
railroads can afford to transport to the
East the produce of the West, and this
bottom figure should be discovered and
adhered TO. The margin for profits upon
a barrel Of flour 10 the miller is rendered
by active competition very narrow, and
while he is patiently working upon this
smallmRrgin, and may haYeupOn his hands
thousands Of barrels Of our manufactured
Just in this close to the wind fashion,
the railroad companies form a ring, and
smash his margin clear out of sight in q
twiukling by a n u-nannounced rise in
freights. Time over and time again loss
has been inflicted upon worthy men by
Just uch a selfish and unwise policy, and
it is high time there was a change for the
better. We do not know that the rate
charged by the railroad companies for the
past Two weeks has been q paying rate,
but we cannot see that even if 1t had not
it would justify SO sudden, un~announced
and material an advance.

the Bank was loaned 10 one Individual
who was the President Of the concord,
and expended the money loaned him IN
/ real estate speculation, as well IS wild
ventures in stocks. He seems to have
acted very honorably, turning over sill his
assets, even to his household furniture,
for the benefit of the Bank. But we fear
that meny other corp0rations, State as
well as National, are conducted IN the
same manner. Banks, as we understand
them, are established ostensibly for the
accommodation of poor but honest me-
chanics and small traders, and, in conside-
ration OF this, are granted special privi-
leges, either by the State or Nation.
Whenever they fail to fulfill this mission,
n permit themselves 60 be used by
spectators and gold or stock gamblers,
they ought to fail or be compelled to for
