Elm ANcIAL AND COMMERCIAL

Business generally has hesn rather qsiet dur
ing the week. There has been considerable Sc
tivi,y in marketing of psrk and grain.
There 10 little change to note in the money
market. The closeness continues as previsusly
reported. The prospects for no easier market
during next month seems fair The amount of
produce being forwarded to eastern markets
must relieve the money market considerably.
In New York the market is reported easier
The rates of interest run from . to per cent. on
call and from to 10 per cent on time loans.
Gold has been firm during the week, and the
premium has advanced about one per cent in
New York.
Government bonds, in sympathy with gold,
rule strong, and prices have advanced during
the week from y to per cent. The offerings
to the government amounted TO 100000, at
1875 to 1870. The government advertised to
buy S1,OOO,OO0.

The following is an extract from a
private letter, written at sea, on the
voyage from San Francisco for Japan:
STEAMER JAPAN, June 3, 1873.
We have two ministers on board,
and the ship still floats We have DIR.
Newman, Chaplain of the United
States Senate, and pastor of President
Grants church. He is appointed "In-
spector of Consuls" in China and ia
pan, and to go around the world at
government expense. His arduous
duties are to visit each Consulate on
his way, eat and drink a couple of
dilys with each, and pass on-thus
saging all hotel bills. For these try
iAg services he draws $4,000 a year
and travelling expenses. His wife,
who is with him, draws from govern
ment $1,000 year and travelling ex-
penses, as his private secretary. He
has eighteen months leave of absence
from his post as Chaplain of the SEN
ate, and draws his salary all the same
and suppose he draws his salary as
pastor of the church in Washington.
Who would not be minister of the
Gospel to Ulysses I. +? How different
is all this worldly profit and pleasure
from the character and lot of the hon.
est minister of my boyhood with his
$500 a year. But suppose we must
allow something for the wear and tear
of conscience CD in a court minister
to Ulysses l. The laborer is worthy
of his hire.

ings were conducted in the best OF
spirit and harmony, and most excel

composed of gentlemen every one OF
whom is fully competent to discharge
the duties of the Office for which he is
placed in nomination, and worthy OF

He won't steal.

William Allen was Senator of the
United States in 184I. Onithe 4th OF
March Congress adjourned; on the
9Th. an extra session was called for the
purpose of confirming nominations.
The Senators decided that they
were entitled to constructive mileage.
There were two Senators who did not
believe that they were entitled to
that mileage. They were John A. Dix
and William Allen. gasi 1Ta ~
Although legally entitled TO the
money Allen believed he was not
honestly entitled to it, and he turned
itoYer 10 the q. S. Treasury.
2 William Allen, the Farmers candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, is nc
saIary.grabber, but an honest man.

THERE seems to be an almost unani-
nous condemnation of the salary
steal, yet it is doubtful whether Con-
gress wit 90 anything m the way Of
repeating the iniquitous measure at
Its coming session. The million and
over that has been paid out for back
pay cannot be recovered, nor can the
amounts which Congressman have
been drawing monthly since the bill
came in force, which will amount in
all to $1,000 for each member, before
Congress meets again. There will be
vast amount of breath wasted in
mere denunciation, but Congress will
ignore the whole subject. Watch and
wait.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1873-09-04

a good many papers afe affecting
to sccrn and ridicule the recent series
OF articles in the My. Herald upon
C9Sarism. but is noticeable that all of
these, without an exception, are either
edited by oficeholders or by violent
partisans. The idea of CesarisD is
simply an old idea under new guise.
1t is exactly the tendency which the
wisest patriots of the country have
foreseen and been predicting for three
years or more. The Cincinnati Con-
ven1ion was an outgrowth of the
popular feeling that the tendency
was towards Capitalization and finally
usurpation. The disastrous defeat of
that movement was a great stride to-
wards despotism and the people who
rent the air with shouts over their po-
litical victory were rejoicing over
their own prospective bondage.
The work of Capitalization has been
and still is steadily progressing. 1t is
but a few days since it was officially
announced that the PostmastGr-Ge en-
eral had agents abroad collecting
statements to be used in again press
ing the subject of Postal Telegraphy.
1t seems scarcely possible that so gi-
gantic step as the Government
taking hold of the telegraph lines of
the country can be accomplished, but
when we. see what has been done
there is no apparent limit to be fixed.
An Administration welding the inn
mense patronage of the country and
directing it to a single object can
force almost any object through Con-
gress.
The consolidation of wealthy and
gigantic railroad corporations, the inn
mense capital concentrated in Ma
tional banks, and the wealth of the
country generally is tending to CEN
tralization with its legitimate fruit
usurpation) upon the theory that q
more fixed form of government than
one which is liable to be changed
every four years, will give a more
stable value to property.
1t is idle to say there is no danger
from these sources. 1t was the money
of these corporations and the plunder
taken from the national treasury
which gave Grant his second term,
and which can give him third. Ii
an army of telegraph men can be
added to the army of other officials
and system of espionage established
over telegraphic matter as there now
is over the mails the people will be
well nigh bound hand and foot.
The people still have the remedy in
their hands if they will use it before
it is too late. The postmasters and
partisans cry fudge and belittle the
matter. They have thus far been re-
markably successful in hoodwinking
the public. They will leave no effort
untried to continue their success. We
are not sanguine of their defeat, and
this is the alarming feature, The in
dependent press of the country can
do much to avert Cesarism, and hav-
ing done what they can, if the people
desire to transform the Sphynx of the
White House in to Cesar the blood
win be upon their own heads.-St.
Paul Dispatch.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL telegram
from Detroit dated Aug. %, says the
night express on the Detroit and Mil
waukee Railroad, last night, consist
ing of baggage car, two coaches, one
sleeper and two emigrant cars, became
disabled in consequence of the engine
throwing driving wheel of mile
east of Muir. The express was fol-
lowed by through freight, which ran
into the rear of the train, killing four
women and one child, and injuring
ten others, all emigrants. Medical
assistance was at once procured from
Muir. None of the injured are dan

Old Age.


Has it. really come to this that old
that the sons of Ohio no longer de-
light to do honor to the bent form,
the wrinkled brow and the white
hairs of our fathers? 1t really seems
as though the Republicans of Ohio
can find no other fault with the hon
ored son of Ross except that he is
older than he was twenty years ago.
Their cry now is che is too old" "He
is not fit to fill the position of Cover
nor" Perhaps SO. Perhaps the years
he has spent in an honest and an hon.
ored public life, and in the retiraGy cf
happy home have untitled him for
the position. But how different is he
from the bloated,. diseased, dishonor-
ed, sin-polluted politician of to-day.
His years have been crowned with
honor and his frame free from pollu-
ton leaves his brain fresh and active,
ready still to do battle on the side of
right. It is wrong to compare the
honest, pure. and upright William Al
len with the generality of modern
politicians. He hsssescaped the pol
luting influences of the times and free
from disease, free from the corrupt
ing contaminations of this age of po-
itical dishonesty he is presented to
the people of the State of Ohio as a
model statesman, true patriot and
an honest man. We cannot believe
that the time has come when old age
is dishonorable.-CAtlticotlt A0OeT-
