FROM new YORK.
The Hopes OF Trads-The Centennial
FluPry-The south and the Metrope-
lis-DemOcrstic success Essential to
Prosperity.
...-. NEW York, Sept. 80
There is an appearance of a revival In
business here, which is really due entirely
to the increasing prospects of Radical defeat.
The election of Tilden means stability to all
interests and Investments, and prosperity to
the agricultural and lsboring classes, upon
whom the taxes, whether direct or indirect,
fall most heavily, because they have less
margin over their expenses from which to
pay them. The principal Improvement has
been in Southern trade, and 1t has been more
marked since the subsistence of apprehen-
sions about disturbances In the South which
the King street, Charleston, riot had arous-
ed. Analysis of the causes of the apparent
change reduce them to two.
First the, Centennial excitement. This is
not only temporary, but Elusive, because 1t
benefits only those classes of people who
cater for the comfort or convenience of
travellers, and does not at all assist the
classes of the interior. Moreover, it will
have strong reactionary effect, because so
many people who cannot afford 1t are spend
ing beyond their means tn order to visit the
great Exposition.
On their return to their homes, thcy will
find themselves more straitened than ever,
and unless the tide of prosperity is swollen
by every possible legitimate means, the
coming Winter will not be marked by less
distress than the last one.
The second cause for the apparent revival
of prosperity is the fact that the South arc
buying heavily here and paying cash for
what is bought The South used to be the
best customer of New York, and if all
agitations are ended, permanent peace
assured, ecouomy in the Federal Govern
ment established as q rule of action, and
the carpet bag governments of the South,
which have plundered the people of their
substance, abolished, the South will be
again the best customer of New York and
other Northern cities.
This cannot be assured in any other way
than by the election of Tilden and Hen
bricks, and 1t Is precisely because Southern
merchants, planters and manufactures,
have implicit faith In Democratic success,
that they are now investing their money iu
the North.
The Charleston riot stopped all Southern
business for time, for the reason that men
will not invest in property which internal
disorders may render valueless.
The order Of attorney General Taft, and
the bayonet policy generally, had the same
effect, and 1t is only because of popular in
dignation, and the injury these things work
to the Radical cause, induced the practical
abandonment of them, that the Southern
ers again commenced to send their money
North.
Outside of the Centennial furry and ofthe
Southern trade revival, there Is no caute for
cry of the Republicans that hard times are
ended. 1t must be taken into consideration
that Just at this season of the year the Fall
trade Is at It's height and prospects are
brightest, but that the hard Winter often
renders those prospects Elusive.
There is nothing to be despaired of in our
commercial or financial future, provided We
enter upon course of real economy in gov
ernment, reduction of taxes, and stern pun
ishment of those official rascals whose vii
lanies have caused our troubles.
As the whole case was 50 summed up by
Mr.. Mari, of Louisiana, the only hope of
the country lies In peace and reform. The
adoption of a policy of peace and reform
will necessarily enhance the credit of the
country, enable us to make an immense
saving in annual interest, and real rcduc-
tion Of our public debt, which will be very
different affair from the sham Boutwell, car
rled on so long, because the country will be
paying out OF its profits, and not out of Its
capital.
The gigantic Cameron election fraud con-
spiracy appears to 20 on, undeterred py ex-
posure. The ingenuity of the conspirators
is now DEVOTED to devising some new
method of cheating the people which has
not been already described. The exposure
of their plans-to use their own slang, OF
ringing in, ringing out, and crowding the
ballot bo1-has caused much confusion
among their leaders, and they have now
taken the miserable expedient OF accusing
the Democrats of intention to perpetrate the
wrongs which 1t has been the whole effort
of the Democratic Committees to expose,
denounce and prevent. :,
Advices from Ohio and Indiana received
by the Democratic General Committee here
give full confidence that no frauds will be
allowed to be- perpetrated, because the
people there are thoroughly alive 10 the
necessity of preventing them, by the simple
means of continual vigilance, and stern
dealing with offenders.
In Philadelphia, the other day, one OF the
Ring ballot box suffers was sentenced to
State prison for three years for his opera
tions in favor of the Republicans at the last
election. Fifteen more of them are now on
trial at that city, and 1t is to be hoped that
the fate of these will be warning to their
fellows.
Every election precinct in Ohio and In
diana should organize committee Of vigi
lance, for the purpose of preventing viola
tious of law, and Furnishing those who do
violate It by bringing them immediately
before the courts under tho laws Of the
State. The remedy is simple. Allow no
man to vote whom you do not know to be An
honest voter. Watch all strangers and
