Cling for power. it parts at once with itt
own identity. and all the weight it will
bring to such leader and party will do
the working man bat little good. Class
power and policy is tyranny, and that
the people viii not long submit to,
whether it is possessed and welded by
one or the other of the classes compos,
ing the population.
The power of the working men may
be surely. legitimately and effectively
exercised inside of present political
organizations. II may be made to
have powerful influence in shaping
public policy with regard to that
class. and its varied interests, by
stamping its legitimate views upon
party policies, but whenever il with
draws and hoists its own independent
banner. it, by that act alone, declares
war upon other classes, and stands or
falls by its own strength, either of
numbers or intelligence. Rather let it
speak through existing political organ
iSations as a part of each, and calmly,
temperately. but determinedly urge
the reformation of abuses, the restora,
tion of that consideration which was
enjoyed by working men before the
baleful bondholding aristocracy grew
up to power sufficient to stamp itself
upon the national policy.
While the world stands the poor
must labor. 1t remains for them to say
if they will do SO like dumb driven
cattle" or as intelligent. patriotic and
worthy citizens, who love the country,
its various interests and people, and
who unselfshly bear part of the pub
lie burden uncomplainingly. But if it
seeks, as party. only to pull down an
other class merely to mount to the
empty place, perhaps the substitution
would add but little to the sum total of
human happiness, and the security and
peace of the world.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

MONTREAL, Aug. 2l.-At two o'clock
this morning, a fire broke out in the
upper story of James Mepcsgall q

flour mills, on the canal bank at Wei.

elevator and the whole of the two up
per floors OF the storehouse, where a
large quantity of wheat was stored,
were in flames. The fire burned from
the top OF the elevator down to the
lower floor. Notwithstanding the ef-
forts of the firemen, the fire spread
rapidly. and the neighborhood being
covered with mills and factories, the
flames caught the extensive flour mills
of Ira Gould & Sons, known as the
city mills, which, with q heavy stock
Of grain were reduced to ashes. VIII

A GENERAL feeling Of confidence in the

ly unfolding itself at the great business
centres, notably New York, CHICAGO

to these points indicating the confidence
OF dealers in the interior in the imme-

dealer is only one remove from bedrock,
so far as trade is concerned, and when
he prepares for an increase, it surely IN
dicstes that his patrons have confidence
in their ability to pay for the goods
needed. Part of this reviving conf
dence is unquestionably founded upon
the fact that people have come to the
conclusion that congress will repeal the
resumption act, and inaugurate other
policies looking TO better supply of
money to accommodate business. /. is

In the grain trade there Is great
hope of good time coming with the
immense crops from the west, and
there is q steady, healthful growth In
the produce and grocery trades, which
encourage men who are satisfied with
small profits. The volume OF business
done by groceries is larger up to this
time than il WAS to . corresponding
date last year. The clothing manufsc-
turers are feeling small but good in.

and is animation among the boot and

of from thirty to fifty per cent In lead

There is not as much of DISPOSE
ton as there was last August to make
sanguine predictions, but the convic-
tion Is strong upon business men that
they will keep the ground they have
recovered, and continue to do business
with moderate returns.
