The ShylOcks of the East.

Anti-resumptiOnist orators and writer's
are fond Of calling the unfortunate people
who have lent money To the United States
and other debtors, and now cannot get it
back again, 1.-The SHYLoCKs OF the East"
They have a vague idea that this is an
epithet of Intense reproach but We doubt
whether they have examined SHAKEsPEAREs
play carefully enough TO learn it's appro-
pirate meaning. OLIVER GOLDSMITH once
innocently remarked to Lord SHELBURNR,
the friend of the American colonies and, in
consequence, u man bitterly disliked by the
Tory party 81 don't see why they should
call you MALAGRIDA, for MALAGRIDA was a
very good sort Of man" Now. SHYLocK, as
a mere money lender, was good enough
man. He took interest for the use Of his
money, TO be sure, and in SHAKEsPEAREs
day that was accounted a crime; but we
have long ago got over that prejudice and
only call men usurers who exact excessive
interest. 1t was for seeking to take AN
ToSIo's life that SHYLoCK il Justly detesta-
BILE, and not for lending him money. In fact,
he refused TO receive back his money when
II was offered him, and insisted on plunging
the knife into ANToNIo's heart. Do the anti
resumptionists pretend that the capitalists
OF the East, who would only be too glad to
get their money, are SHYLoCKs IN the sense
Of wanting only the lives Of those who owe
II to thcmf II not, there is no ground for
applying the eDithct TO them.
The fact seems to be that the real offence
OF the people Of this section is that they are
bent, not on being paid and still loss on
numbering their debtors, but simply on not
lending them more money with which to
continue their gambling operations. The
champion paper money advocate in Con
gress, Mr.. WILLIAM ID. KELLEY, discou.s ed
on Thursday last after this fashion:
ON what could men borrow money! Gould they Dor.
row money in Philadelphia on Reading Railroad stock

The Decline In British Exports.

British manufacturers are losing their
hold on foreign markets. We wait in vain

peat with grave face the favorite apho-
rism of tho lato Admiral RoUs that tho
melioratlon OF bloodcd stock was tho
sole aim Of horse racing, we find, on the
other hand, the number Of professional bet
tors much increased.
Thirty years ago there were scarcely two
hundred persons who followed tho calling
OF bookmakcrs;" now there are at least
two Thousand, each Of whom seems to be
doing what would be termed, in his par
lance, roaring business" And here we
cannot overlook a significant circumstance,
namely, tho comparative rehabilitation OF
this vocation In public opinion OF late years.
IL is notorious that those wishing to rogs-
tor n considerable wager have learned to
prefer the name OF professional book
maker to that Of the average noble lord
or gallant gentleman. 1t was OBJ
served, for instance, on the settling
day Of the last Derby that large number
of persons representing very distinguished
county families forgot to appear ut latter
sails, but the bookmakcrs were all ON hand.
