THE BALLOT BOX THE REMEDY.
A contemporary says

"a OOBgCAlpDla11 oayo'
~The men of 1T76 rose up against Eng
land rather than longer remain the wretch
ed victims of her navigation laws whose
sole object, in twenty-five separate acts,
was to monopoize the trade and commerce
Of the colonies. We suffer tenfold greater
wrongs than the colonies ever endured
from a precisely similar system of monopo-
ly; we have the remedy, by pesceable reVo-
luton at the ballot box, in our our own
hands, but we seem to lack both the intel
ligeDce and the courage to use it,"
Precisely so; as we stated in q recent ed
itorial: "Tbe real difficulty lies in the
fact that the avaricious and ambitious few
learn to govern the people and their gov
eminent much faster than the people learn
to govern themselves" This evil is inhe-
rent in mankind, and may be seen in all
nations, whether rising or falling, as partly
civilized communities. A few minds only
have risen to that eminence in science
which enables one to see that the highest
good of individuals I'D of families lies in
the Improvement of all others, as well as
that of a limited few who may form a sort
ofaristocracy. Exclusive ideas are essen
TALLY narrow minded and mean, and lead
to mean, narrow minded and exclusive
legislation.

EXPORTING SPECIE AND IMPORT
ING GsEWGAWS

4
The foreign goods imported into New
York for the week ending the 3lst Ault.
were estimated at fourteen million dollars.
Over three and half million were dry
goods and less than ten and half were
general merchandise. Merchants appear to
believe that Americans can consume and
pay for an unlimited amount of foreign
manufactures; but they win probably find
this idea unsound, an I that day of severe
reckoning is not far in the future. Since
the first of January we have exported $751;
847,3l6 in gold and silver. This Is at the
rate of s53 ,Ss9,272 a year. Beside this
there are indefinite thousands of prosper
GUS citizens of the United States in Europe,
spending American gold. There are no
statistics showing the amount of this drain
on our precious metals; but 1t is higher in
millions than even well informed man
would be likely to believe. Now that the
labor and capital of California have
gone SO largely into wheat culture
and other branches of farming, the annual
yield of gold is thought not to exceed twen-
ty-iive million dollars. OF this not little
is consumed in the manufacture of spoons
and plate for table use, watches, chains and
jewelry of all kinds. In short, our easiest
way of paying for imported goods has been
in government and railway bonds. These
are premises to pay gold or its equivalent,
but at some future time. They are bonds
for our children to pay, secured by mort
gage on every mans real estate, whether
in the town or in the country. As q ma
ton, we are one family, and joint heirs,
holding large property in common. The
public right of indefinite taxation is SUI
preme, and every man who owns foot OF
land, or ever expects to, should carefully
study the drift Of public affairs. Over
trading and running hesdlong into debt are
the besetting sins of the American people.
Exported cotton pays for q great many
gewgaws; but cotton and other planted
crops have made one hundred million
acres of turned out and impoverished
fields in our sunny South. Practically, we
sell the natural fertility of our farms, and
give in the bargain great deal of hard work
in the sun, and receive in payment gew-
gaws and luxuries, which are speedily con-
sumed and seen no more forever. To take
some three hundred million dollars a year
in crops from our soil, and make no com
pensation to the land, for foreign consump-
ton, betrays ashock;ng degree ofprofigacy,
and an utter disregard of our future wants.
Our boastful civilization is both false in
principle, and meretricious in practice.
Our very churches are built for outside
show and inside glitter. Our dwellings and
costumes carry extraeagance and folly to a
greater extreme. Is this swelling tide
never to end, nor have an ebb

NOBODY else having interfered with
Judge Sherman Of the United States Dis
tic Court of Northern Ohio, the Cleve-
land Bar Association have taken him in
hand. His testimony and letters in the
New York Stock Exchange investigation
showed him to be little else than a profess
siond lobbyist at Washington. The Bar
Association sSy as much, and add that his
conduct evinces such a want of integrity
and such moral tyupitude as to destroy all
confidence in bis administration. He is
advised to get out. The New York 7ri
b1u,e says: A hint is rs good as a kick to
some men; but Judge Sherman does not
mind hints.

Of that city says: SIT would be very IN

told, over and over again, that summer
