HARD TINES.

A terrible cry OF suffering comes up
from the east. The streets and roads
swarm with an endless procession OF
'.tramps;' men willing to work but Tor
whom there is no work Business men
are breaking like thorns cracking under
a pot-burning up i'll the fierce flames OF
specie resumption.
Take one quotation
Hartford Times correspondence from New
York.
As vet there is no sign of actual improve
ment in business, though everybody seems to
count on a revival in the Centennial year. En-
barrassment is still the order OF the day, and
difficulty i'll meeting payments is reported III
every quarter. Some OF the oldest houses III
the city, houses long rated among the strong
est, find it decidedly up hill work to keep
matters i'll satisfactory shape.
The failure of Benedict Brothers, the we'll
known jewelers., caused great deal OF sur
| prise, which has not yet subsidized. The sur
prise probably would not have been so great
but for the reported robbery of their safe few
| days before. There Is something mysterious
! about both the failure and the robbery.
Another failure that has caused surprise is
that OF John Stephenson, the railroad car build
| er. Mr.. Stephenson has reen building rail-
! road cars for over u quarter OF century, and
| Was thought to be one OF our miilOnalreS.
But only few men possess the wealth CON-
monty credited to them.
Another writer says
| Living before me is copy of the Philadel-
phia Evening Telegraph, containing twent,
| columns OF notices Of property for sale by til,

stores, shops, lots, houses, churches, mills

Most readers will perceive the significance of
these assessments. The Brevoort house and
Burke's hotel are buildings of the same size,
furnished in about the same way. The differ
enco in the value of the personal property i'll
them can not exceed a few hundred; yet one
is assessed at $4,000, the other at only 500
valuation
The Central hotel, on Market street, is
somewhat larger building, but the value of its
personal property cannot much exceed that of
Burke's; yet it is assessed at 81 900. While the
Grand Pacific, one of the largest hotels in the
city, and one of the best furnished in all Amer
icas is assessed at only 500.
The establishment called the Tivoli is said to
contain personal property of the value of at
least 81 900; it is not assessed at all.
The two auction houses mentioned carry
about an equal amount of stock, and do Ike
business.
What is the remedy? Let US all get
into a new party-a party for reform and
retrenchment, with no history to defend
and no pedigree to explain. And, above
al, let us stop this merciless crushing
out process, known as contraction OF the
currency. for which all the fools are
bowling.

HAYES An ENnMY =" F"REIaS

The American Alliance Ia a secret or
der that has for its object the complete
humiliation OF the elective rights of for
eign born citizens.
Rutherford B. Hayes is a member OF
this order. and on the 9TH of July wrote
to Samuel j. Tyler. its secretary. &C.
knowledging the honor conferred upon
him in placing his name upon its roll of
members, calling 1t an admirable" in
stitu,ion. and saying he was "deepty IN
sympathy 'cih its ptincipies.'
One of these principles that Hayes con-
siders admirable is-"An amendment
to the naturalization laws, limiting sV-
f-aoe 10 persons horn IN THIS country or of
american parents"
Another is: "7he election of Ame1i-
can-Jo,m citizens only TO oDiciol positions
IN this country"
viii foreign born citizens support
for the highest office in the gift of the
American people man not in favor of
their enjoying rights accorded colored
citizens who have but recently stepped
from a servtude that lasted centuries?
viii they support man who says
that, with all their education, refinement
industry, courage and physical endur-
ace, they shall neither vote nor hold Of
flee in the United States?
viii they support a man whose theo-
ries Of political economy are entirely at
variance with common sense, and antag-
onstic to that lberality which has assist
ed as the defender of the nation and the
promoter of her industries?
