4 STRIKING CONTRAST.

The merits of the systems which have been
tried alternately in the treatment of the State
Canals, and between which the people have
to choose at the approaching election, are
notably demonstrated by their effects respect
lively on the Canal debt. In 1889 a much
milder dose of Democratic extravaganza than
is now commended to the public diminished
the surplus revenues set apart by the Consti-
tuition for the payment OF this debt at the rate
of $SOO,OO0 per annum. In 1860, when stop
was put to further Democratic misrule, the
Republican party took charge of the Canals,
incumbered with a debt in excess of the
Sinking Funds amounting to S29,3SO,19O Co.
Nor was the Republican Canal policy Pro-
crustean in character OF inexorabe and unac-
commodating. When the interest or convent
ence of commerce would be promoted by some
rearrangement Of details, the necessary changes
were promptly made, but always with respect
for constitutional limitations, the rights of
public creditors, and the increase of public
revenue. Experiments, however promising,
were tried only with caution, and the teach
ings of experience were never defied. The
pet fallacy of the Democracy and the Ring,
Inadequate and unconstitutional tolls, with their
unvarying consequence of direct taxation to
pay the Canal debt, found no favor with the
Republican administration; as well because the
Constitution forbade them, as that every tTlal
of them had proved calamitOus. The low tolls
of the Democracy of 1853 failed entirely to re-
store the tunnage of 1853 to that of 1856, and
merely abated the surplus revenue some
$500 900 per annum. Statesmen and econo-
mists could find nothing encouraging in
such results; therefore, in 1860, when
q Republican Canal Board came into power,
among its first acts was a bold increase
of tolls. The result justified the measure.
What the low tolls of 1853 had failed to do
the enhanced rates of 1860 accomplished; the
tunnage was above that of previous years. In
1862, the toll sheet of the Constitution was
fully restored, and on certain articles the rates
were even advanced, and the aggregate OF
tunnage exceeded that of any previous year.
Not an example can be shown where reduction
of tolls has produced an increase of tunnage;
on the other hand, it has happened that every
increase of tolls has been followed by an in
crease of tunnage. The latest experience har-
monies with the earliest on this question OF
low tolls. Thus far there has been no increase
of tunnage this year; yet the toll sheet has
been emascuated beyond even Democratic
precedent.

self-sacrifcing resident of this city has
issued the prospectus of newspaper which
he proposes to start for the benefit of man
kind, the suppression of misery and crime, the
creation of peace and harmony, and the expo
sition of the true relations between capital and
labor. He declares his readiness to start this
admirable journal upon capital OF 100000,
"to be donated, by those who can well afford 1t,
"for these objects, in trust, to the subscriber,
"who. when the facts of his life so far, are
"knOwn, may be thought peculiarly fitted ana
"in training for this work" He promises that
the donors names, with address, business,
"and sum, will be published in the journal, and
"also printed, in gold letter, upon white satin,
"and suitably framed, and copy in the lat
"ter form will be presented to each donor,
"and one will decorate each Office of the
"paper.n Surely this will be considered
n glorious reward by those who may find
it in their heart to give the whole or any
part of the 100000 required for the starting
of journal from which so much good might
be expected, if all mankind would read 1t and
follow it's advice. The "subscriber" shows
his peculiar capacity for conducting the pro-
posed journal by describing the experience he
has had in every field of human endeavor, as
an agriculturist, manufacturer and trader, as
an employer and employ6, as a capitalist and
laborer as q teacher and professional man, as
a philosophic scientist and cosmopolitan hui
manitarian. 1t might be supposed that man
of such varied genius and experience ought to
have accumulated 100000 on his own account,
which he would be willing to employ in start
ing q journal for the benefit OF mankind but
if this were the case, the rich men to whom
he appeals would not enjoy the opportunity Of
aiding a noble purpose.

Americas repeated protestations OF nou'
tra6ty in the French and German war arc
virtually the same as those OF England Ten
years ago. But America, unlike England
means to keep her promises The proclama-
ton of the President issued on the Sth INST
simply reiterates in greater detail the declara-
ton made two months ago. 1t prohibits the
use of American waters as rendezvous for bel
ligerent ships, by enforcing the rule that war
vessels of either nation shall be detained
twenty-four hours after the sailing of either
war or merchant vessels of the opposing
Power. Many persons will look upon the new
proclamation as intended to perfect the ma
tional record, in view of establishing the Ala
bama claims. This is about the only reflection
that an enemy can make upon it, and that is
of no importance, since there is no difficulty
in showing that the proclamation is in conso-
nance with all our former practices.
