sHERMAN IND BANKRUPrc1Es.

Mr.. Sherman has very grandiose style,
and we presume that for the sake
of euphony he sometimes makes
use OF expressions without thinking of how
they will sound when reduced to writing.
In addressing the Cincinnati chamber of
commerce on Wednesday he was evidently
anxious to make good impression; to con-
vince the business men of that city that his
administration of the finances had been
eminently successful. With great flourish
of trumpets he declared that our money will
soon be as good as the money of any coun-
try with which we trade, and then grandilo-
quently announced that
After this week there will be an end of
bankruptcies. All men who believe that they
are not in condition to pay their debts will
have taken the benefit of the law provided for
their relief. After Saturday next we will
stand on better basis-upon basis of our
property and our deserved credit.
After reading such assertions one is sorely
tempted to say that Sherman is fool. After
this week there will not be an end of bank
ruptcies. Business men will not be affected
IN their relations with other merchants by
the repeal of the bankrupt law. Men will
be bankrupt just as often as they were here
tofore. They are simply deprived of the
ability to get rid of their debts with facility
through the bankrupt act. Men will run
into debt for goods just the same as before,
and if they fail to dispose of their goods at
profit they will become bankrupt just as
they have done in the past. Nor have all
men not in condition to pay their debts
taken advantage of the bankrupt law. There
are thousands of good competent business
men who have been unable to obtain release
from the courts simply because of their ina
bility to pay the enormous fees demanded
by the registers in bankruptcy and the
courts. They have scorned to use dishonesty
as some do to obtain release. and will con-
tinue to be hampered by their obligations
just the same as ever, and the pirate secretary
of the treasury ought to know the fact. Nor
is it a matter of course that after Saturday
next we will stand upon better basis-on
the basis of our property and deserved credit.

whom they trust, the repeal of the bank
rupt law will have tendency to make them
more careless. It is not reasonable
to expect that credits will be any
more restricted than heretofore, and unless
there shall be an improvement in the bust
ness of the country, bankruptcies will be as
common as ever, even though they may not
figure in the bankrupt courts. The chief adj
vantage of the repeal is to be found in the
removal of the inducement to dishonest
commercial transactions, but this is not re-
ferred to by Mr.. Sherman. His assumption,
implied though not expressed, that he is en-
titled to the credit of whatever benefit may
arise from the repeal of the bankrupt act is
a sample Of un paralleled cheek. He was one
of the chief originators of the act, and is
probably responsible for many of its imper-
fections. To his Ell orts as secretary of the

The only way to prevent SO many elections is
for the States to change the time of holding
their local elections to Observation-Disclosures
Times.
The Times is in error. Such law as it
refers to was passed, but it was afterwards
found that it would be impossible to amend
the constitutions of several of the States in
time to make it generally operative. The
law was, therefore, modified in 1876 as fol-
lows:
That Sec. rs of the Revised Statutes, prescrib-
ing the time for holding elections for Represen-
not to apply to any State that has not vet
changed its day of election, and whose Consti-
tuition must be amended in order to effect
change in the day of election of State officers
in said State.
This amendment embraces the States of
Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa, and there can,
therefore, be no doubt but the election of
Congressman in those States, held in October,
will be perfectly legal.

Times.
Mr.. John M. Langston, minister resident and
consul general at Port au Prince, Hayti, ar
rived here from his post of duty on Saturday.
He came home on official business, and will re-
turn. taking his family with him, on the first
steamer leaving the United States for Port au
Prince after the LIST of October. He visited the
President and secretary of state to-day. The
visit was purely official and formal, at which
the condition of affairs in Hoyti was generally
and fully discussed. Mr.. Langston expressed
himself as delighted with that country, and
says that if he were asked what place
outside of the country he would rather live in
he would say without hesitation, Port au
Prince. To quote his language: ''The
country, the people, the government, general
society, and all those enterprises that tend to
intellectual and moral as well as material de-
velopment and advancement of the people, are
growing, and afford subjects of interest to any
one who takes pleasure in thinking about
things of that character. The finest specimens
of the negro race that / have ever seen are
Haytians. Manly in form and demeanor,
without any cringing in disposition, or any
seryility in conduct. always polite, respectful,
brave and daring, the Haytian seems to con-
cede to you what he asks, and never fails to de-
mand everything that belongs to him. You
never Haytian whether rich poor an
ordinary laboring man or Senator, that he
does not impress you with that idea. Mr.
Langston expresses himself very hopeful of
the Haytian government. He says that very
special emphasis is laid by the people upon
education, and that it is an Interesting fact
that the youth of the country are being now
especially well provided with educational OPP
portunities. He observes that the foremost
people of the republic in point of education
and their condition generally compare favor
ably with those of any other country in the
civilized world. AS to the government he
says it is matter of qualification to phil
anthropists and friends of national progress the
world over that there is being brought about
in the republic condition of things that prom
ises a more lasting peace than that country
has enjoyed for many years.

that the yield of wheat per acre is better than

that the amount of wheat produced in Wright

bushels. This is not a bad showing for a wood

The young Republicans of Massachusetts,

trine that the issues dividing the parties

DEM0cRATIc ECONOMY.

The New York World has INDUCED in a
somewhat novel but perfectly legitimate COM
putation of the appropriations for the last
SIX years-three when the Republicans had
absolute control of both houses of Congress
and three when the Democrats had control
of the House. It shows that a saving has
been effected under semi Democratic re-
gime of $88,27O,236.47. Computing the
voting population at 100000 citizens, this
gives saving of $10.38 per voter, sum
equal to an average weeks wages of the adult
male population of the whole country. The
benefit of this reduction in expenses accrues
directly to the voter, but unfortunately there
is no means of separating the just from the
unjust the Democrats from the Republi-
cans-those who favor extravaganza from
those who favor economy, and, therefore, the
Republicans receive the same benefits that
the Democrats do. The fact, however, is
worthy of consideration by all citizens. If
the Democratic party has succeeded in saw
ing S1O.3s to every voter in three years while
it has had but partial control of the govern
ment and has been hampered by party
controlling the Senate and the executive de-
partments of the government, bent on the
most extravagant and useless expenditures
what might be expected from the party if it
had full control? Some idea may be formed
from table prepal ed by the World, as fol-
lows:

CALIFORNIA WHEAT.
Il Big CrOp--TNe Yield this Year Com
pared ,cith 1876.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The comparative failure of the wheat crop in
California last season renders any comparison
between the business of this and last year in
this particular trade of little value. 1t is with
1861 that the present season may best be
compared, because the circumstances are more
nearly similar. In ls76-77 California sent
abroad the largest quantity of grain known in
the history of the State, the exports of wheat
and four-the latter reduced to its equivalent
In wheat-amounting in round numbers to
100000 tons. or Il, 000, 900 centals This sea-
son the estimate of the available surplus. is.
in the opinion of the best informed
dealers, about the same, although there are not
wanting many persons who believe that the
unprecedented surplus of that year will be ex-
ceeded. owing to the wonderful yield in the
San Joaquin valley. So far the movement of
wheat closely approXimates that of 1876 the
quantity which has come to tide-water during
the first six weeks of the season being almost
Identical. The exports also nearly correspond
Up to August, 1876 1,140,61O centals, valued
at 81, 773,957. were sent away. This year, to
like date. /, l91, 269 centals, valued at So 022,-
400, have been dispatched. Preparations for
moving the crop are, however, on more extern
sive scale this season. 68,445 tons of shipping
being under engagement to load against a., 675
tons in 1876, and the quantity Of disengaged
69,356 tons against only SO, 900 tons two years
ago.
1t is not only in a bountiful yield that our
farmers are blessed this season. Prices and
rates of foreign freights are also greatly in
their favor In the middle Of August 1876.
California wheat in Liverpool was qoted at
9s 1d@9s Id per Genital for average, and SIS 5dM
l0d per Genital for club. To-day the value is
los 3d@10s I'd per GENITAL for average, and los
6d@lOs lOd for club, and wooden ships are
procurable for Cork for orders, at f2 Is Sd per
ton, while in August, 1876, they were worth
e2 los per ton. The result is that good ship
ping grades of wheat bring in this market
Sl.75@l.SO per GENITAL against $l.50M1.5 215
per Genital at this time in 1876, and the 6xed
charges, such as harvesting labor,
sacks, and transportation to market,
being lower than they were, even
more than this increase of twenty-f to thirty
cents per Genital goes directly into the pockets
OF farmers. Practically, the crop is realizing
quite 20 per cent. more to producers, and the
outlook is favorable, as the English markets
have strong tendency. In only one respect
Is this market likely to have a setback. The
rates of freights now ruling are quite unre-
muneratiye to ship-owners, and the decline
which has occurred from f3 per ton, at which
the season opened. to 92 2s Sd to 92 IS per ton,
the best now obtainabIe, has checked the in
fiux of ships, and the number on the way
shows marked decline. The tonnage under
engagement is larger; the disengaged tonnage
in port is larger, but the tonnage on the way
makes a poor showing. Summed up the visi-
BILE supply is:

In homely phrase Blue Jeans Williams
addresses the National party. Says he:
AS we demand exactly the same financial re-
form that they do, claim them as kinsmen.
In fact, they bear the same relation to the
Democratic party that I do to the Methodist
church. My wife is a Methodist, and I am
brother-in-law to the church. I want the
Nationals to come up and help their brother-in-
law out. There amt enough of me to keep
house alone, and there is not enough of you to
make party alone.
Unpalatable though the fact may be, it is
true that there is not enough of the Nationals
to make party alone. It would be the
part of wisdom, therefore, as they desire the
same reforms as are demanded by the Demo-
cratic party, that they join with the Demo-
Gratis to bring the reforms about.
