The New York Times endorses

The New York Times endorses
the prophecies Of some Of the other
journals there that have predicted a
very active revival of trade this Fall,
and gives some good reasons why
this should be So The long strain to
raise money and the indisposition to
spend it which succeeded the panic
have left the business interests of the
country more free of debt and more
at liberty for active operations than
for a long time before. Men with I'M
employed money are looking around
for investments, and prefer those
which shall add to the general indus
try of the nation. But a more gener-
al cause for the revival Of trade is
thought to exist in the almost univcrs-
ally good crops of grain and the con-
sequent decline in price, The esti-
mate has been before stated that the
acreage in wheat had been increased
nearly 100000, with yield at least
six per cent, greater than last year,
while the product now sells for $l,2G,
against 81 "a last year. The London
Economist says that cheap corn
throughout the world is the main
cause Of diftused industrial prosperity.
When grain is cheap the masses of
mankind have y larger daily and
weekly surplus to spend than at other
times, which goes mainly to the
staple manufactures, which becomes
prosperous in turn and provide a larg-
er surplus for those employed, availa-
bic for expenditure on other manufac-
lures. There is considerable sense
and reason in this philosophy Of in
dustrial action and reaction, and when
put to the test, as it is about to be, we
may expect to see these views justified
and confirmed

The Democracy of Ohio at the
State Convention held last week, re-
adopted the theory of the Hon. Geo.
II. Pendleton, the distinguished Dem
ocrat Of said State, Of paying the Gov
eminent Bonds, legal taxes etc. ETC.,
as follows -
That the Democracy Of Ohio reiter-
ate the declaration that the fve-twen-
ty bonds, by the letter and spirit Of
the law, and the general understand
ing of the community, were payable
and legal-tender notes, and the act of
Mach, 1869, which pledges the faith
Of the nation to their payment in
coin was an unnecessary and wicked
sacrifice Of the interests of the tax
paying laborers for the benefit of the
non-taxpaying bondholders that
without equality of taxation there can
be no equality of rights, and the ex-
emption of the public bondholders
from bearing their due proportion in
supporting the Federal Government
and maintaining the laws, is unwise
and unjust.

The ever.increasing circulation of this ex
cellent monthly proves its continued adapta-
ton to popular desires and needs. Indeed,
when we think into how many homes it
penetrates every month, we must consider it
as one eff the educators as well as entertainers
of the public mind, for Its vast POPULARITY has
been won by no appeal to stupid prejudces
or depraved tastes.-Boston Globe.
The character which this Magazine poss-
esses for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth,
and literary culture that has kept pace with,
if it has not led tho times, should cause its
conductors to regard it with justifabe COM
placency. 1t also entities them to n great
claim upon the public gratitude. The Maya
zine has done good and not evil all the days
of its life.-BroOklyn Eagle.
