ness arising from them, are no less impor
tant to our mercantile classes than the
tropical staples of the other sections.
Steady business is essential in both, and
disturbance of the labor of the colored
people in South Carolina, Mississippi or
Louisiana, to an extent to interfere with
the tropical harvest there, is no less det-
rimental to the interests of New York,
Philadelphia or Baltimore, than failure
of the harvest of cereals in the West.
Unless period of prosperity and peace
be speedily restored, we must face general
bankruptcy. We cannot endure an in
crease Of present commercial disasters
Another year showing fifty per cent more
failures among merchants, would bring
upon us worse panic than any experienced
since 1857.
This campaign is not campaign of elo-
quence or spread. eagle oratory; but cam
paign of hard facts and of practical ques-
tions. If the election of the Democratic
ticket really means the Inauguration of
an era of retrenchment in public expendi-
lures, reform in public administration, and
reunion of allsections Of the United States
with due regard to the common interests
of all, and full development to the separate
interests of each section, the merchants of
the United States will support with might
and main the candidacy of the Democratic
nominees. If the election of Hayes and
Wheeler means continuance of ill-feeling
between sections, and the extravagant
schemes of taxation, and loose administra-
ton in public affairs which has recently
prevailed, the mercantile classes will as a
unit vote to rebuke the perpetuation of
the evils which have reduced them to al
most a general bankruptcy.

Philadelphia, October s1, 1876.
Harmony Between the Sections Essential
to National Prosperity.


The policy of the Republican party is
in seeking to fan the dying embers of Sec
tional prejudice.
The products of the Southern soil are
more abundant and intrinsically more val.
uable than those Of any other section of
the Union, and hence agriculture is more
remunerative than at the North or West.
The cotton, sugar and tobacco growing
regions of the South, therefore become the
best markets for the sale Of Northern pro-
ducts, the home production Of which is
either impossible or Improbable. With
the South prosperous, the demand for the
product of Northern labor and Northern
ingenuity is increased in direct proportion.
But if, through misrule, oppressive taxa
tion and social disorder, the Industrial in
terests of the South are prostrated, the
consumption Of Northern products is de-
creased, and the effect is felt in the COM
mercial centres as well as in the grain
growing regions Of the North and West.
1t must be remembered that the bulk of
the Southern products exported were grown
in States which the Democratic party has
had control Of, and this result is at once
an argument in favor Of the ascendency
of that party, and proof positive of the
falseness of the ''outrage stories" which
the Radical press and orators so industri-
ously circulate. If the Southern people
in the cotton States habitually maltreat
and oppress the negroes, how comes it that
so much cotton is grown? 1t cannot be
grown without the labor of the negroes
and, as rule, it is grown on ''the shares
the owner of the plantation supplying the
land and the capital, while the negroes
supply the labor and divide the product.
That this system results in the decided
benefit Of the negroes, is evidenced by the
fact that the official statistics Of the State
of Georgia show that the amount of taxa.
Bile property owned by negroes in that
State averages 500 per each head Of
family-an exhibit that cannot be made
by any other laboring population in the
world.
Is it wisdom or folly to pursue policy
which must stimulate the people Of that
section to develop and build up their coun-
try as rival to the North? 1t is the
habit Of many intelligent Northern men
to sneer at Southern industry, Southern
energy and Southern perseverance,. They
talk about the South having been demor.
allied by the system of slave labor about
the energies of the Southern people being
paralyIed BY that curse, and point with

just the re'y means TO bring about such a
ioar. AT the head of the negroes are the
great thieves that rule the South, and rely
on Grant for support. The support is
given to them freely, and every possible
means has been taken to make them blind
instruments of the powers that be. The
Republican party is responsible for The

VOL. XI.-NO. 81:

The gold, or its equivalent, requisite to
pay the interest on our national debt, and
to pay for our foreign impofsations has
been drained of, and here we are cursed
with an irredeemable currency. Wheney-
er our exports largely exceed, in gold value,
the interest on our public debt and the
importations of foreign products, then we
will be on the high road to national pros

social disorder and excessive taxation,

One of the chief reasons why the Radi-
Gals struggle so desperately to retain power
is that their. corrupt rings have become
the owners of nearly all the outstanding
claims against the Treasury of the United
States, aud that their only hope of collect
ing them is in continuing the Republican
party in power. The election of Tildcn
and Hendricks on platform Of Reunion,
Retrenchment and Reform, would be fatal
to their chances Of securing Ne plunder.
The Forty-third Congress, Republican,
passed bills awarding over s5,900,O0O to
the holders of these Radical ring claims
while the Democratic, Forty-fourth House
only awarded $4,000 in all, and that Il
