ONE OF THE main causes of the re.
cent political revolution was the dis.
satisfaction generally prevailing be.
cause of what is popularity termed
"hard times" Men out of employ.
ment, men working at reduced wages,
men heavily in debt struggling against
! depresslons, business men with heavy
stocks on hand and trade stagnant,
idle men waiting for flush times " to
give them a chance to speculate and
make money without hard work-all
these classes were uneasy, anxious and
ready to risk "change," believing
they could not make matters worse,
/ Such revolutions as that of Tuesday,
coming amid seemingly profound apa-
thy, in the absence of popular excite
ment, could spring only from such
a cause. But those who have
persuaded themselves to vote with the
Democrats on this ground have been
unjust to the Republican party. It is
not responsible for hard times" But
the party in power is always held re-
spOusible for depression in trade aud
manufacturing and so it is now. on
this subject the New York Times says:
But if anybody supposes that we
have now done with hard times lust
because the Democrats have been cleo
ted to power, he will find himselfwoe-
fully mistaken. Already, as we deep
ly regret 10 notice, the tendency of an
prices in the financial markets is
downward We would much rather
see it the other way, for the business
of the country can not afford to be
subjected to further disturbance. But
we must record facts, and our COM
mercial readers know too well that the
tendency of the Democratic victories
on Tuesday is not favorable to trade.
There is nothing in the triumph Of
Mr.. Tilden and Tammany that can
coniure away the effects of a financial
pressure which was the direct result of
a long and exhausting war.

The President Not Desponden,.

The President gives his friends s
understand that he is not by any meal $
utterly cast down by the recent r..
verses. He believes that the Repub-..
can party has yet before it a gl6riov,
future, and that it may retrieve the e.
rors Of the past in time to march to IL g.
music Of triumph in 1876 as significar {
and as decisive as that of 1872. He b.
lieves that the Republican Congress,
which comes together in four week,
from this time, can in the three month :,
of life which is left to it so act as g.
heal all discussions within the partv
and to win back the confidence of IL
people at large. II is not improbab,
that in his message to Congress in De

can not be met With the amount Of
taxes now being collected, the next
thing to consider is, how shall we
economize so as to meet our obliga-
tons as they fall due. Our Demo-
cratic friends have said that they
favor the reduction of excessive sal>
aries and the abolition of unnecessary
offices. Where will they begin this
operation? VIII they cut down the
salaries of their own officials, or will
they look out where hey can cut off
the official heads Of few Republic
cans, as they have done in the past I?
We see the question Of abolishing the
office Of tax Collector is being dis
cussed, 1t is proposed to combine the
duties Of tax Collector and Trustee.
Will this be one way Of economiz.ng?
Or will they cut down the salaries of
Clerks Of Courts, Judges, etc? We
shall look with some interest on the

have one, for avoiding orr present

Aside from the moral and religious

they may find in the future that they

completeness of their present triumph,
but we are just as confident of the final
triumph Of the great principles upon
which the Republican party is founded
