One of the things that has aston
ished us. in the discussion of the
financial question, is the apathy of
the mercantile claases. They are, of
all men. most sensible to the breath
of popular prosperity or adversely;
they are the creatures of credit,
standing between those whom they
owe and those who owe them; if the
country is misgoverned they are the
first to suffer. And yet they have
gone on suffering, failing, dropping
into poverty, without any attempt to
Investigate the causes of their mis-
fortunes; and satisfied with some of
the barren platitudes about hard-mon-
ey or rag-babies. If the mercantile
classes, would look little deeper into
these great issues, they would see that
their prosperity is a mere consequence
of the prosperity of the mass of the
people.
These thoughts are suggested to us
by the following from that excellent
Greenback journal, the New Haven
(Conn.) Union:
yesterday we published the com
ments of a prominent Chapel street
merchant on the Workingmen's move.
ment. He declared that the legisla.
tion of the Republican party for the
past four years had cost him twenty
thousand dollars, because it had SC
oppressed the laboring classes that
they were unable to trade with him,
and were generally in miserable con

were with the Workingmen, and
therefore he proposed to support here

is seeking to improve the condition OF
the masses. He could not enter the

We would call attention to the
important address of the Greenback
party of Dakota county which appears
elsewhere. 1t exhibits the right Splr-
it. There is no reason why Minnesota
should not poll next year as large a
greenback vote as Wisconsin polled
this year to wit, $4,000. The men
who have led off in the movement
in Minnesota are however few in
number and generally poor in pocket
If committees would take hold in the
spirit manifested by the Dakota coun-
ty address we would soon sweep the

with the committee as suggested, and
not only furnish them points for the
address but also give them the names
of parties to whom to send copies.

the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of q
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it.. In fact, he distrusts

lives at the hands of the rife clubs of

rufians OF Gen. Nichols, do not approve
Of the policy which has taken the gov

Of the majoriucs, and turned them over to
the representatives eff tie white league
murderers, and that they are inclined to
hold the president, as we'll as those upon
whose advice he has acted, responsible
for the results, They feel this matter the
more keeuly because they already suffer
from the surrender, being the first victims
Of the new policy. The letter from which
