The Coming Revolution In
England.

Increased symptoms of uneasiness
are Displayed in Great Britain over
the rise of coal there, which means a
rise in iron, in cereals, in meats, in
transportation, In real estate, and In
nearly everything. According to the
London Pail Mall Gazette, there is
an advance, compared with the prices
of eighteen months ago, of 80 per
cent. in the cost of building; so per
cent. in machinery; So per cent. in
copper; 48 per cent. in tin plates; Al
per cent. in nickel SO per cent. in
brass; 55 per cent. in chains; III
per cent. in iron gas tubes; so per
cent. in wrought nails; So per cent.
in iron bars; 95 percent. in cut nails;
and SO on, there being an approxima-
ton to a uniformity of increase
throughout the list The supremacy
of England has been the fruit of her
eompactness of area, her activity and
thrift, and her abundance of iron,
coal, lead and tin, which are more
valuable possession than the gold and
silver of the United States.
The Financier, in alluding to the
subject, says that England's resources
have made her the worlds workshop;
she has chosen to press her greatest
natural advantage, and, therefore, al
though she could produce her own
food, and did once produce it, she
has found it more profitable to buy it
elsewhere. She must have cotton
from the United States, India having
failed to produceit in suficientabund-
ance and cheapness; but the coal and
iron she has SO long enjoyed are the
source of her imperative demand for
cotton, and the reason, together with
the cheaper labor natural to an old
country, why American cotton crosses
the Atlantic to be manufactured and
return, to be consumed. This ad-
vantage she is, in all probability,
about to lose, partly and gradually,
and the consequences will not affect
her alone. One consequence will be,
that the cost of production of manu-
factured articles of all sorts will ap-
proach in England what it is in this
country change which has been
going on slowly for several years past
prices there are moving up to our
own, and there will be less disposition
here to buy from her, and less abil
ity on her part to sell, tariff aside
than hitherto.
The cost of production of her man
ufactures increasing, if the produc
ton cost of cereals here does not In
crease, both being measured by gold
she will be unable to procure as mucl
food in the United States as hereto
fore, with given quantity of mer
chandise; the natural result viii b,
to turn the movement of gold west
ward, inasmuch as she will still bu,
breadstnffs of the United States, VI
to the time when their cost to he
shall be so great as to induce an in
crease of her own productions.

The pent-up current gathers force
and tears things to pieces generally
when it finally breaks out of its bar
riers. So when November has passed
and Horace Greeley does reach the
point when he can break away from
restraint and publicly tell what he
knows about Gratz Brown, the II
cubus, who has in the opinion ot
Horace, proved the dead weight that
caused defeat, there will be a time
worth witnessing. Gratz himself vii
doubtless also have occasion to make
a few remarks.

Washington was once at dinner
party where his host seated him with

said the hostess iocularly, Il thought
an old General like you could stand
fire better than that"
'I never could stand a fire In my
rearI" replied the General.

There is general rejoicing over the
defeat of Dan. Voorhees,. His sup
port of Greeley was SO transparently
for the purpose of securing his re-
election to Congress, that his defeat,
after such abasement, gives great sat
isfaction to the honest men of all par
ties. He richly deserves his fate, and
the people have a perfect right to
laugh at him.

Throwing ND the Sponge.

The Cincinnati Commercial, on
behalf of the Liberals, throws up the
sponge, in regard to the Presidential
contest by saying:
Taking the late elections altogether,
the conclusion is forced that the luck
of General Grant, in politics as in
war, is likely to be confirmed in his
reelection to the Presidency. The
Liberal and Democratic organization
is not SO compact that it can with
stand the repeated shocks of defeat.
