WHO PAYS AND WHO SUFFERS :?

seed circulation of gold or greenbacks.
What has commerce suffered by these
stock jobbing sharps? The tremendous
explosion Of Cooke and Ciews has at least
Jared the financial credit Of every banker
and merchant in the land. ''The wind is
down, but still the waves run high" and
it is impossible TO predic. wha: will be
the consequence 10 banks and merchants
in regular business who depend on East
ern credits. How can accommodations
OF extensions OF mercantile paper be CAL
culated upon in such financial consterna-
ton? Even New Orleans. which neither
holds no. deals in railroad stocks. is now
to have ''iock out in he, banks. We
should like 20 know why New Orleans
should be complicated with the financial
failures Of Jay Cooke or C.ews:
IN manufactures the disturbance may
be the same. Credits are suspended, or
ders countermanded and operatives dis.
Charged. In Paterson. New Jersey. 455
locomotive men have been discharged
from Rogers locomotive works. making,
with others dismissed previously. one
thousand. two-thirds Of the force,
Brown X Gray. OF Wilkesba,re, Pennsyl-
wanna. attribute their failure to Henry
Clews. The miners were large depositors.
Now, the consequences Q: morbid thirst
Of gain ;nfects all classes. Here are one
thousand men whose wages are suspended.
Perhaps one thousand families. or two OF
three thousand persons. are to SUITE. dur
ing the approaching winter.
When we turn to politics il is The same
thing. Parties originated upon the
poorest doctrines of political construction
band together masses who honestly agree
in their objects. Very soon arise men
who see in the incidental power and pa.
tronage of these parties an indueenen. to |
enter politics as profession. The supe.
nor success of the political sharp on the |
one side creates a necessity for similar |
Skill on the other. The plain men Of |
principle are put aside for the shoulder |
hitter and the ballot-stufer; for the forger
of returns, and the reducer of majorities. |
The other side is not to be outdone. and
enlists similar force Is there ANYTHING
to prevent these miscreants from turning
to profit the confidence, as they have done
the animosities, Of the respective parties
run by them?
The next step is the combination Of the

sharps from both camps to rob the cofeT
Of both parties.
A communication in tie New To:i
Tribune. headed Ring Methods and
Morals" places this corner on both par
ties in the plainest light:
| Just look at this statement OF :he case
4 is politician, and seeks nomination
for the office of tax collector or treasurer
| B, AID u are what are known as leaders
and By organization have secured the
powe! % CeC.Ce whether 4 can Or shall

slang phrase explains the bargain; Il, G and
y, and it is agreed among them tina: 4
shall receive the nomination. Being nOmi.
mated, ne must be elected. either by actua!
ballots or by returns from the several poll
| ing districts. This takes place among the
Democrats. There j. like bargain going
on among the Republicans.
There is'the b,azen league between the
two sharps.
| Now comes another scheme. which is an
understanding between the leaders Of .he
| Democratic and the Republican parties
ihat. whichever party il successful. the
| emoluments Of the offices.
The definition Of patronage is thus
given:
1t is the making Of and the giving on. Of
places to personal friends, often sinecuTes

but the drawing of salary. to be divided
between the appointee and the appointer,

into the hands of the leaders who compose

mepts.
These statements are illustrated By ex-
amples taken from New York and Brock.
lyn politics. which we need no: reproduce.
But this union Of all the sharps for the F!
sake Of the spo;ls is warranted, Ike Hull |
d Sons candles. to keep in any climate"
and so operates as we'll in Louisiana as
elsewhere. It is of this combination of |
the sharps OF all parties that our deb: is
greatly comp osed.
But the moral Of this essay is. that in
banks are made to suspend. rail
roads arrested. workshops closed and
merchants embarrassed. In politics.
great parties are led from the line Of
principle. administrations are placed on
defense or overthrown. and States OF
cities loaded with debt, all because the
party passions Of men egg them on to
place their contests in the hands Of shout.
ier-hitters and knaves, who quarrel by
lay and unite at nigh. TO despoil both
parties of their good names and money.
t may be thus readily seen who pays
nd who suffers"
