COngressmen Who are Not Popular with the RepubIi- cans.

Hon. Alexander II, Stephens ol Georgia, whose illness and ab- sencc this session has been a great relief to his opponents. HoN. John A. McMahon of Dayton, who signally defeated Matt Carpenter in the famous contest about the evidence in the Belknap trial.
 HoN. Frank II. Hurd of Ohio, whose brilliant legal ability made him one of the foremost cham pions of the Democrtic side in all points involving constitutional law.
 HoN. Wm. NJ. Springer of Hi nols, who constantly defeated the parliamentary plots of the radi- calls, and whose presence in his seat was notice that no party tricks would escape exposure.
 HoN. Carter H. Harrison of H. linois, whose eloquence and trenchant wit, always sustained by sound thought aud thorough information, made him one of the most effective of Democrat debat- CTS.
 HoN. F.. R. Meade, of New York who had the courage to attack and expose the frauds of the h. ternal Revenue service, and push measures to reform that citadel of Republican plunder.
 Hon. John K. Luttrel, of Cali fornia, who is Democrat farmer, and suspected of beng granger, and from wearing a linen duster in the House became almost as oilencive as Blue Jean Williams.
 HoN. John K. Tarbox, of Mas sachusetts, who fought Blaine so gallantly, and could not expect to be admired by the other side in his character of q Democratic member from Boston.
 HoN. Scott Lord of New York, who, as chairman of the mana gers, conducted the Belllnap case so ably, and destroyed the false pretense of Democrat sympathy with violence, by his famous res olution.
 HoN. Benj. II. Hill, of Georgia, who dared to attack Blaine, and in House and Committee labored % assidususly to defend the law fnl rights of his constituents. Mir. Hill is especially hated by the detectives and nformers, whose vile acts he exposed.

and gradually assuming a permanent
type. No doubt several causes have
contributed to this result. The war
and IT'S triumphant termination for the
government, perhaps stimulated manu-
featuring business to excess. The
abundance of money for+years after its
close also operated in tbesame direction.
So thet abetted by these special causes
and the general advance of civilization
a great developementsof the mechanical
powers has taken place. Steans with
its mighty forces has been made availa-
BILE for all kinds Of work. Labor saw
ingmaehinery has increased manifold
and is used more or less iDrall kinds of
Now what have been the
consequences of all this?s Manifestly
that manufactured goods are produced
with far greater rapidity than they ever
were before. Shops with the aid of
steam and the most III proved machinery
can. produce more by the labor of one
hundred men than iii the early part of
the century could have beens produeed
by the labor of thousand.
Now we think it is evident that the
increase of this productive power has far
wider limitations even in the United
States than the increase of the consRm-
tive powers. Any lively demand that
may spring up will be but temporary in
duration. The supply will soon over
take it and glutted market will become
chronic with us unless remedial meas
ures are devised. What these measures
of relief may be, we must leave largely
to the wiser men to determine in the
great future Meanwhile it woald
seem that we ought in some measure to
adopt the policy of England in. similar
circumstances and make an approxima
ton toward Free Trade. we ought to
gradually yet surely get our business pat
on Specie Basis and adopt aelow reven-
no tariff-then with our vast natural re
sourses, we shall be able to seek foreign
markets to advantage. There are many
countries where the great manufacturing
powers are but little known, and many
more where the people are far behind as
in the use of them. In this way we
might for time give scope to forces
now fettered and restrained, and in a
good measure equalize consumption and
production. N.

On further acquaintance though he

one particular POINT of his conclusions.
There is no othes civilized nation that so
delights to use, wear and possess pro-
auctions of foreign manufacture and art.
In fashionable circles from Mrs. Secre-

PRoDUcT1oNxAND CONSUMPTION.


AS society advances in civilization It's
affairs present new aspects. Questions
arise which our experience has not yet
qualified US to-answea, and problems, are
pressed upon ue noS easy of solution
All that we can do is to give our best
attention to such subjects and in a cam
did spirit avail ourselves Of all the light
we can get. At present and for several
years past many Of the people who de-
pend on the manufacturing business for
employment have been in very depressed
circumstances. Many of the manuiac-
turing establishments of the country are
kept running but part of the ti1ae, and
many OF them arei closed, whilst the
rate of wages is now such that constant
employment is necessary. Now why
does depression prevail in this impor-
tant department. of businesss. why in
this country SO rich in land--so rich in
lumber--so rich in iron, In coal and all
mineral wealth, are there so many peo-
pie partially or permanently unemploy-
ed? The cause does certainly not lie in
! the habits of society. AS people we
are not given to boarding, but spend
money freely for necessary and desirable
objects. On clothing and drese. far
more is spent than was twenty years ago.
So on wagons carriages and all kinds
of vehicles for use and show. VASTLY
more on houses and furniture, On extern
al and internal decoration and generally
on all the concomitants of civilized life
In most if not in all the States Of tho
Union, people live well up to their
means, and spend all the money thew
ought to spend. How strange it seems
that amidst all this liberal expenditure
! for objects of use and pleasure G.
many artisans, mechanics aud la5erers
should be short of employment. And
this we think is evidently net a local o,
! temporary depression, but wide spread

THE NEW COMMON COUNCIL,

The Common Council of the City
ofKenosha is composed ofthe Mayor
and twelve Aldermen-three alder
men from each ward.
Politically the mayor and seven OF
the twelve aldermen are Republicans.
OF the seven Republican aldermen
three were elected on Democratic
tick ets.
On the license question two of the
aldermen have heretofore been, and
probably viii be now, opposed to
granting licenses, and if any are
granted in favor of limiting them to
the smallest possible number. All
the other aldermen, with the excep-
ton of Williams and Davidson,
we think may be set down in favor
of granting licenses, though they
NAV perhaps differ as to the number
to be granted. How Williams and
Davidson will stand as to granting
licenses or the number to be granted
we are not informed.
IF the Common Council decides.
as it probably will, to grant licenses.
it will have to decide the amount
required for the licenses. Some o.
the Councils have heretofore beer
and will be now in favor of placing
the license at $3.50, the highest sum
allowed by law while others have
heretofore been and will be now II
favor of placing the licenses at {
very low amount, and granting
license to every one who can pay thu
license money and give the required
bond. Just how the Council vii
stand in this respect we are no
prepared to say.
And, on the question of enforcin|
the Sunday Laws, the present Coun
Gil, like preceding Councils, will b
divided, but just how it will divld
