head, and the number could be doubled
annually if there were sufficient demand.
She imported in 1878 of bacon and hams
over $1,000 900. Our number raised is
more than %, 600. 0c0 pounds annually. OF
sheep and lambs she imported about e1,-
100000. Weraised %, 500, 900 head. Her
butter import is about s., 0O0, 900 annually.
Our supply will aggregate about COL, OOO,-
900 pounds. Imports of cereals, nearly
e40, 900, 900. Our crop of last year aggre-
gated about 1,50O, OOO, 900 bushels. ofcot-
ton, fax, &C., she imported csc. 900, 900.
The United States has raised nearly
$500, 900, 900 pounds in one year.
She imports of sugar and molasses more
than e21, 900, 900. More than 200, 900, 900
pounds of sugar and 10000, 900 gallons of
molasses have been produced in year in
the United States. Gold and silver i'm
ported into Great Britain, e35, 900, 900.
Our supply is beyond calculation, as also
that of copper, lead and iron. Her i'm
ports of tobacco were 81, $50, 900 our pro-
duction in 1870 was 263, 900, 900 pounds.
Her imports of wool were about e20, 000,-
600; we raised in 1870 100, 600, 900 pounds.
1t will be seen that every article here emu
merated is that which the commerce and
manufactures of Great Britain annually
demand, and which we not only raise
in abundance, but which we can pro.
duce ten-fold more of than we now
do by employing more labor and
capital in such productions. 1t is not
necessary to go into an argument to prove
this assertion. The millions of acres of
rich, arabic lands yet uncultivated are
prima fdcie evidence that only labor and
capital are required to increase the supply
as there may be an enlarged demand. The
richness and magnitude of our mineral de-
posts are attracting the attention of the
whole world, and are nowhere more known
and observed than in Great Britain.
To carry on her commerce she had afoat
in 1878, IS, 1856 sailing and 2,796 steam ves-
sells, in all 81, 5S1. These had capacity of
5,74S, 900 tons. 1t is well known that we
possess all the wood and metals requisite
to the building of all kinds of vessels that
float, and skilled mechanics in sufficient
numbers to build all the ships which the
commerce of our own or any foreign nation
may demand.
From the foregoing, it is clear that Mr..
Childers was correct in his estimate of the
powers, resources and prospects of the
United States. We have only to apply our
industries in the development of these re-
sources to shortly verify the predictions of
the British statesman.

Shelving the Liberals.

CFrom the New York Commercial AdVertIser.I
In all quarters the late Liberals" and act
ing Independent voters" receive the cold
shoulder from the Democrats, with whom they
have sought to make a permanent alliance.
''Take the oath of allegiance to US, or we will
have none of you," cry the original Bourbons
who now rule. The World and the Cincin-
natl Enquirer have already said that they
want no camp-followers, and now comes the
Concord Patriot, organ of the New Hampshire
Democrats, and speaks of the Liberal and In
dependent newspapers as Experimentation
prints" that do 'the dirty work of misrepre-
sentation." Isn't this pushing back the hands
on the dial plate Of political progress9 Three
short years ago the Liberals entered the Demo-
cratic camps with a shout of reform and vic
tory. Now they leave it to the highly uncem-
plimentary music OF ''The Rogues' March"
How much have they accomplished by their
treachery to old friends, and what do they
propose to do next Apparently their only
chance is to set themselves up in business as
strikers of the independent buccaneer stripe.
That is what is generally meant by a Third
Party movement.

EACH succeeding day, month and year
that the Spaniards fail in their effort to
overpower the instruction in Cuba
strengthens American sympathy for the
cause of the Patriots. Within the past
two months over fifty millions of dollars in
property has been destroyed by the latter,
and they have made great progress in the
Jurisdictions heretofore under complete
control of the Spaniards. As the rainy
season will soon begin, we may reasonably
expect partial cessation of hostilities for
about sixty days but it will be the lull
preceding the storm which cannot fail
eventually to sweep every vestige of Span
ish rule off the island. In the meantime
the Spaniards will not be idle, and, among
other things, it is believed they may at
tempt to induce the United States to aid
them in the way of an indirect protectorae,
with or without the consent of the Madrid
authorities, TO prevent further destruction
of property in the products Of which this
country has vital interests.

The Prsuidsnt and hi, Cabinet.

IParson BrOWnIoW in the Knoxville Chronicle
For specimen of genuine Inconsistency
commend us to the average Democratic editor.
Just few days ago, less than a week, their
news columns contained detailed statements
of Cabinet meeting to take into considera-
ton the subject Of filling the vacancy occa-
stoned by the resignation of Attorney General
Williams. The appointment Of Judge Pierre
pont was the result of this consultation. Now
the same papers are filed with stories about
discordant elements in the Cabinet, and pre-
dictions of trouble as a consequence. This
only goes to show that they are striking in the
dark, and they are ignorant Of that which they
discuss through their columns.
The fact is the Cabinet, as now constituted,
gives the lie direct TO all their Examinations
against the President. They represent him as
tyrant, selEwilled ignoramus, determined
to force himself upon the country, and con-
tinue himself in office indefinitely. While
they join in making these charges the more
respectable portion of the Democratic press
coDcede that most of the Cabinet is composed
of good and true men.
Secretary Bristow is a man whose reputa-
ton as a man, a statesman and a patriot will
not suffer in comparison with any of his pre-
decessors in the high office he holds. Secre-
tary Fish is a man of decided ability, and has
discharged the duties of his office to the entire
satisfaction of the country. Postmaster Gen.
eral Jewell has given evidence of the highest
capacity for the duties of his position, and
none but the. most INSCRIPTIONS, obscure and
disreputable Democratic organs have ever
urged thing against his character.
The New York World bears testimony to
the character Of Judge Pierrepont in the fol-
lowing language:
His private and social life is without stain or
TeprOach. He has been the successful legal adj
wiser Of large property interests In this commu-
nifty, and his professional honor is pure. He has
not been tested by, and has not had the benefit Of
the exercise Of executive or legislative functions
serious defect. he will 90 to Washington with
the best wishes OF all his felloW-citIzens."
We have seen no charge against Judge
Pierrepont that he wishes to subyert, or in
any way change our form of Government, or
to do anything 10 oppress the people. The
Secretary of War, General Belknap, and Mr..
Robson, Secretary of the Navy, are not
looked upon as rcvolutiouists by any means
Mr.. Delano, while be is not popular with
Democrats, is not an extremist, as we under
stand him.
Now, If the President is such bloody
minded, corrupt, ambitious man as Democratic
papers would have US believe, or If he is such
gross usurper, why has he called around
him such men as his Cabinet advisers, espe-
cially the first four mentioned who constitute
amajority? And we do not by any means con-
cede the truth of what Democratic papers say
about the others. They are equal to any men

A Stab at the Living Over the Grave of the
naad

CFrom theFS1n Antonio (Texas) EXpress.I
Advantage has been taken by certain gentle
men to give utterance to their spleen and to
falsify history over the grave of the lamented
Governor Hamilton. Eulogies have been
written for no worthier object than to falsify
history and to attempt to fasten Democratic
falsehood upon the State. We have allusion
to the assertion that Governor Davis was
counted in and Hamilton counted out by the
military commander. The last individual to
vent his spleen and make a thrust at Governor
Davis is one &c. W. P" of Washington CITY,
who prints a column article in order to say:
"Ingratitude is proverbial. Neither side
thanked him. With the weight of the Federal
Administration against him, and the modern ia
cflity Of counting, Hamilton was defeated for the
GoVernorship in iS7O. His political career here
closed. He was doomed to see the party which he
was FIRST to found in Texas sink into the minority
in that State. As historian 1 could not record
less.
As historian you have given circulation sim
ply 10 a Democratic lie that has long since lost
its force.
The result of the election was a great sur
prise to Gov. Hamilton and terrible blow to
him. The quarrel that had grown up in the
Republican ranks had thrown him and a Dor
ton of his friends to the Democratic side.
Ever ready to use, but never to reward, the
political enemies of Gov. Hamilton put him in
the lead-a piece of hypocrisy that he after
wards became fully convinced of. But Gov.
Hamilton himselfthought he had been wronged
by the military authorities, or at least he took
that view of it, as it was the view that the
Democracy industriously used before the peo-
pie to arouse discomfort and opposition To Gov.
Davis and the Republican administration. At
last the Texas Democracy was prepared to
throw off its mask, and Gov. Hamilton saw
himself ranged on the side of party with
whose policy, principles and spirit he had no
sympathy, and he did a noble thing. He took
the arm Of friend and walked to the Cover
nor's mansion and offered bis hand to Gov.
Davis, and asked his friendship and forgive
ness for the hard words and deeds of the past.
The protestations were mutual, and Davis
opened his warm, manly heart, and the two
powerful men-each great in his way-became
fast friends.
1t is only the small men walking in the
ghostly shadow of the dead giant who delight
10 strike false blow.

ABOUT this time look out for cock-and-
bull stories about quarrels between diff
ferent members of the Administration re-
garding the appointment of ex-senator
Pratt to succeed Judge Douglass as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. The in
formation of this appointment, first made
public in our news columns, astonished a
great many people, including the sub-de-
tectives of the Detective press, and the lat
ter began Immediately to explain it to their
own satisfaction, if not to that of those who
know the truth. President Grants sud-
denness is eftentimes perplexing to these
individuals.

THE recent reunion of Liberals in New
York on the occasion ofex-Senator Schurz's
departure for Europe was undisturbed by
the presence of John COchrane. The truth
is, Cochrane's old friends formally re-
solved to ignore his existence. Thereupon,
according 10 the Rochester Democrat, John
exclaims: ALAS fear me the Republic
is an egregious failure ~ Poor John I!

ACCORDING to the Press of that city the
citizens of Philadelphia have given 81, 900, :

something like earnest work, and will as

WHEN the Democrats begin to subscribe
money for the support of colored schools,

enough for them to boast of their friend

desire for the advancement of the colored
people can be furnished in substantial
demonstrations in this way.

A MANLY TONE IN THE EASTERN SHORE
PPESc

The vigorous manner in which the Democratic
newspapers of the Eastern Shore describe the
means by which their State ticket was nominated
ia an encouraging exhibition of the developing
manhood and independence of the presa. The
Elkton Democrat denounces the " we'll laid plst"
by which tho Ring succeeded, and its readers
are given an opportunity to learn for themselves
the disgraceful character Of tile proceedings al
Baltimore. The Denton Journal WAS one Of the
first to speak out in condemnation of the Job and
the Centreville Record declares it will never
give its support and endorsement to the ring
who are controlling Maryland, and who manipu-
lated the present nominations. The Chester
town Transcript says Mr.. CAROLS nomination
has been brought about by gigantic combina-
tion to parcel out the offices, State, Legislative
and county, for the present and future. The
Easton Star declares that this state Of things
cannot last. much longer mo party can stand
such strain aad hve,' while the Cambridge
Democrat and Herald aays that the politicians
have gone directly opposite to the wishes OF the
people in nominating Carroll, instead Of Hamil-
ton.
These papers represent Democratic sentiment
in Cecil Caroline. Q1een Annes, Kent, Talbot,
and Dorchester counties, and constitute, indeed,
the bulk Of the party press in those counties,
while, proceeding to Wicomico, we find the East
ern S,oremdn saying that Mr.. Carroll is in bad
company, and that it will net attempt to Justify
the means by which he was nominated.
Such expressions, we repeat testify to the
growth Of independence in the newspaper press
These seven journals speak ont boldly because
the truth within them demands utter
ance. They honor ,hemzelvo, by not
taking the oowardiy course of sup
pressing the facts or the dishonest one OF mis-
representing them. 1t is true that all the papers
quoted hoist the State ticket, and do not pro-
pose to repudiste it, but this the bulk of their
readers undoubtedly wopld demand OF them,
and, after all, the readers Of newapa-
per are entitled to hearing when it's pub
lie course ia under consideration. II the
facts are stated the truth told the case put be-
fore the people, the newspapers have at least
done large part Of their duty, and displayed
an honorable and manly quality which digniies

tells on the young and the strong. There has
been no Spring. We have dropped down into
rains of Autumn. There is no immediate fear
of the Popes death. He has gone nearly

steady Summer weather begins the evenness OF
it will sustain him, probably, but it is feared that
