HARD a. are the times, they were harder
in the Years following the financial panic OF
lSS7. The official documents Of Congress
forty years ago show that the depression Of
business then not only touched every private
interest. bat utterly Frustrated the credit OF
many States and injuriously affected the
credit Of the national government. In 1915,
the government sen: an agent TO Europe to
negotiate nited States six per cent. bonds,
but he was Obliged to return without having
received a single offer for any portion OF a
loan to our government at six per cent al
though, as he reported, nations without a
1.-THE of our resources, and with large public
debts. were able to effect loans at three per
cent per annum" 1t is doubtless true that
the aggregate of private losses since 1873 has
been greater than during the period follow
ing the crisis Of 1857, but compared with the
amount of capital in the country, they are
less than then and have oecasiOned far less
distress. The substantial sOundness of the
country is shown by its high credit abroad.
For the first time in our nations history,
four per cent. bonds have been sold at the
money centres abroad at par in gold, in
competition with the securities of European
nations, which have hitherto enjoyed a
higher degree of credit than this country.

recently cited as a marked instance

people who are industrious and frugal,

consols, while the United States bonds are
eagerly taken. The signs of recovery from
the late depression are Frightening. Our
harvests exceed in abundance any ever
known before. On Saturday last five steam
ers heavily laden with breadstuffs, provisions
and dairy products, including 100000 bush
els of gram and 10000 cases of canned
meat. sailed from New York to various
European ports. This is but the beginning
oil heavy explorations Whlch must continue
through the Winter. Mr.. Jennings. the
London correspondent OF the New York
World, says it pains him to admit that Eng
land as a grain-prOducing country is going
to decay and that the crop there this year
is complete failure. The United States
will in the main be called on to make good
this deficiency in Great Britain's prOduc-
tons. The consequent impulse to commerce
is already affecting many trades; and, though
the "hush times following the war cannot
be expected to return, there is every reason
to expect that labor, capital aud enterprise
will soon be reaping fair returns.

Tue Republicans have done quite as well
in Maine as they could have been expected
to, and much better than in the last 90 of
year" In 1875, the Democrats carried five
counties, now they carry but two. Gov
Common will have over double the majority
that he had two years ago, and the Repub-
lican majority in the Legislature will be
larger than then. Plainly no material num-
Der of the Maine Republicans are thinking
of exchanging the party for a worse one.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 1871.
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times.
The destruction of lale's piano factory
cannot be ranked among the great fires, for
it was Onl y one square that was burned.
But so far as the destruction of life goes, 1t
will be remembered for years. This loss OF
life was entirely unnecessary. Here was
a great six story building, full of conbusti-
bles, and crowded with working people, and
the only means of escape in case OF fire was
ladder at each end and a chair escape.
So long was the building that it was impos-
sible for those in the centre to get to the
ladders. Around the narrow, small windows
that opened to the ladders there was the
same Jam that blocked the doors of the
Brooklyn theatre, and scores persisted with
in Jew feet of the place of escape. A
thousand dollars in iron ladders at proper
intervals from each story would have en-
abled every person in the building to escape.
There ought to be law in every State COM
polling manufacturers who mass large NUM-
bers Of people to make such provision, and
and in a very liberal manner. Only yea
ago, the same tragedy occurred in fac
tory in Massachusetts, and in the city of
New York there are thousand build
ings liable to 20 at any time. But 1t won {
he done There will be great deal said,
the IIales when they rebuild will probably
put on their building more ladders, but no
one else will, and in week or two there
will he another wholesale destruction of

POLITICAL.
We of New York are looking auxiously to
the Western States that hold elections this
Fall. 1t would be shame if the Republic
cans allowed themselves. by apathy or any
feeling Of discomfort, to be beaten. presi-
dent Hayes is the first man occupying the
chair, who ever attempted anything like
genuine reform in the management of the
Government, and if the people desire re-
form, it is due themselves as well as him,
that they endorse him Ohio, and Pennsyl-
vania. ought both to be carried by the Re
publicans. by decided majorities. If the Re
publicans of the country could be here and
know how gigantic were the evils he attack
ed, and how thoroughly he rooted them out,
they would be as enthusiastic for him as we
are. And if they could realize how desper-
ately the Democracy are fighting to get con-
troll four years from now, they would take
off their coats and see to it that this, the
preliminary skirmish, is not lost. Let them
emember that he has reduced the expenses
of the Government, millions, that he is purg-
ing the civil service, and that he is doing all
that man can do to purify and reform the
Government, and say by their votes that
they approve of it.
