RUSSIA AND THE Markets OF THE
MORLD.

Russia is forever asking the privilege of
free commerce, and England is as persist
emily demanding that she shall be hedged in
and shut out from her manifest destiny
England without free communication with
the food producing markets of the world
would starve to death in six months. In
this regard she is the weakest power on
earth. To destroy England's merchant ma
rine is to destroy England, and hence her

The New York Bulletin in a recent article
discusses the Black sea grain movement,
which is a matter of special interest to
American grain merchants. 1t says:
Very little information has yet been received
in this country relating to the extent of the
Black sea grain movement subsequently to
the cessa. ion of hostilities, and what we get by
the latest mail is very fragmentary and incom-
plete. Apparently the stocks conferred at the
South Russian ports have been less than was
generally supposed here; but there appears TO
have been an Immediate rush OF steamers to
Odessa and Nicolaien upon the completion OF
the armistice, which quickly exhausted what
supplies were on hand. By tracing the records
of steam vessels leaving the ports of Odessa,

February and the 2lst of March, we find that

STAND BY TIE PARTY.

TIE democrat who leaves the party at this
time, when victory is within our grasp,
very much mistakes his true interests. This
is no time for democrats to think of taking
part in the organization of third party.
The democratic party is largely in the ma
jOrity both in the state and in the Union,
and no human power can prevent the sue
cess of the democratic ticket in Indiana this
fall and great national victory in 1880, if
every member of the party Will bat do his
duty. There could be no worse time inn
aginable for democrats to think of encour-
aging the building up of third party. To
do so can have no other effect than to in
crease the chances of inflicting upon the
country continuation of republican mis-
rule.
No, democrats, every man of you, stand
by the colors of the old party, and 1t will
lift the people out of the mire and carry
them to prosperity and happiness. 1t is the
only party that ever has ruled this country
in the interest of the masses.

is one step out of the well, and this was
forced on the government by the democratic
party, and it remains for the same party to
relieve the people by enforcing the repeal of
the resumption act, check the contration of
the general currency of the country, repeal
the national banking system, substitute the
popular greenback currency and bring it up
to an equality with coin, and then once
more ali classes Of American citizens will
be on level, and the country can move on
on solid bases of justice and equality.

THE ISSUES OF ISIS.

To strike line of distinction between the
two leading parties of the country is certain
ly an easy task with all those who have
taken any pains to post themselves. The
difference Is tangible and visible, and
the contrast is as marked and definite as
that between day and night. No one need
ask what republicans now advocate, for the
true status Of that party may be more FULLY
gathered from what it has done from the
record il has made. For seventeen years
they had the rule Of the federal government,
and the results of that policy are every
where seen in the corruption of the public
morals-in the paralyzation of all bust
ness enterprises, and In the cold mock
ing poverty that is crowdIng to the
death almost every family of the land.
The studied collision with the hordes of gov
eminent speculators-the iron willed des-
potism that has chrushed out the rights of
the common mass of our people-the total
disregard OF all property interests, and of all
the manufacturing prosperity of the country
which they have persistently eyInced in all
their legislation, have ultimated in brighting
the financial and industrial hopes of the
entire republic All to make the dollar of
the bondholder worth two dollars, the inter-
est of which is to be paid in gold, while the
crippled and manned soldier, who poured
out his blood in defense of the Union, has
always had to take his pension stipend in
the floating currency of the country.
The republican party, in violation of JUS
tice, changed the original agreement with
the bondholders so as to pay gold interest
instead Of currency. They demonetized
silver in order that the bond interest should
be paid only in gold, and they passed the
resumption act with the purpose of contract
ing the volume of the currency of the coun-
try, which they have done. The result fol-
lowed; property has deprecisked; business
has become stagnant; once prosperous bust
nessmen have gone into bankruptcy by
thousands, until the bankrupt debts of these
wrecked citizens have Appropriated the vast
amount of the national-deb of the country
multitudes of industrious workmen have
been driven to want and poverty, and most
of the honorable avenues OF making a living
have been closed in the faces of the best
artisans of the land. The rich are twice as
rich as they were, while the poor find them
selves beggars and hopeless pensioners on
the miserable policy of the government.
This is the public status inaugurated by
the policy and legislation of the republican
rsrty, and there is no hope for the people in
the coming future. save in the undoing Of

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND ITS
EARNINGS.

Measures are pending in congress to COM
pei the Pacific railroads TO reimburse the
government for its vast expenditures. The
movement is in all regards just and honest.
The methods proposed are such in their
operation as are not burdensome, nor will
they in the slightest degree embarrass the
management OF the road. Under such cir
cumstaDces it Is not a little surprising that
the Pacific roads at once combine their forces
to defeat wise legislation, and are doing
what they can to stave off the payment of
honest debts long over due. The indica-
tions are however that the Thurman bill
will pass, and that the roads will be COM
PEELED to make paymentsin accordance with
its provisions. Senator Morrill,, of Vermont,
in his speech gave the senate to understand
what these roads have thus far had from the
government, and said:
/. We have given to them, as estimated at
differe mt times by the general land Office, from
2OO000OU TO $1,000 O0O acres of public lands, not
wholly of much present value, but with abund-
ant coal fields OF priceless value, exceeding
even the inexhausttble anthracite coal fields
Of Pennsylvania, and affording cheap and
marketable product as well as a supreme ele-
ment in the cheap operation of the road.

BEN BUTLER's TRICK.
The Massachusetts Statesman Failed nm
His Purpose.
baltimore Gazette.l


After one of the fiercest debates of the SEES
elected General Field, of Georgia as its door
keeper. This result is intensely gratifying,
first, because of the character of the man him
self, and in the second place because of the
principle involved in the struggle and vindi-
Gated in the issue. General Field is gentle
man of unblemished reputation, fine abil-
tiles and resolute will, and he may be relied
upon to discharge the duties of his office
with sound judgment and umcompromising
integrity. 81 am under no obligations"
said he TO Washington reDorter after his
nomination in caucus, ''have made no
pledges or promises to anybody for my elec
ton, and if the place is given to me IlI try
my best to administer it properly. / shall
attend TO the business myself and see what
is going on all around me-" This modest but
frank declaration of his intentions is char
acteristic of the man. He will never give
the democratic party any reason to regret
its choice.
But it is not on this account alone that we
rejoice in the result of yesterdays contest
With the malign cunning for which be has
become notorious, General Butler sought to
divert the real question before the house into
a sectional conflict, repugnant to every true
patriot and totally without apology or justi-
ticatiOn, and for q time it seemed as if he
would succeed ininfaming the passions that
had long been laid by the soothing flow of
fraternal feeling, and rend again the wounds
that were on the point of healing forever.
But the democratic majority, with cheering
unanimity, refused to be provoked by
his taunts or enraged by his jeers, but
repelling his insinuations with scorn
and contempt, fearlessly carried out their
purpose and elected their own candidate
They had chosen General Field solely on
account of his fitness for the place; recon-
Citation having been made plank in the
national republican party and pacification
declared the policy of republican president
they did not make his military record a test
of his qualification, and so between two
soldiers they selected the one most compe-
tent for the place. To have yielded the right
thus exercised to General Butler, would have
been practically to perpetuate the issue of
the war and affirm the essential principle OF
the radical policy OF hate. Their victory is
an assurance that however potent the spell
the ghost of the past can never again be
successfully materialized in this reunited
country, while it has forced from the repub-
icans measure of justice to gallant dem
ocratic general that they otherwise would
have resisted to the last.

some Republican Advice.

Before it is too late we would again suggest
that the state convention, ar least OF Penn
sylvania, act sensibly and not like a collec-
ton of spoiled children. They know, apart
from the quarrel with the senators and
patronage hunters, that President Hayes has
given in the main an efficient straightfor-
ward and clean administration. When the
wheels OF government under his predecessor
were being run by Belknap, Delano Robson
and Williams, republican conventions found
something to praise. Occasionally it was
hard work to discover material for Mandatory
resolutions, but nevertheless It was inyari-
ably found somewhere. How ridiculous will
it not seem to affect sudden blindness now,
merely because Senators Cameron, COnkling
and Blame have been disappointed in their
personal ambitions

DON'T want Examining Grannies.

Civil service reform is not lathe work. The
man who passes the best examination may
be the most worthless in the class. The best
accountant may be the most tricky pecula-
tor. The best penman may be the most
skillful forger, and the honestest of the lot
may be e good-for- nothing at the desk or in
the general work. The true plan is to exact
a severe responsibility from the appointing
power and not to transfer it to jury of five

It thus appears that about 2,SOOOOO bushels
of ggain-twO -thirds wheat-was sent out of
the Russian Black sea ports during the first
three weeks following the cOnclus ion OF the
armiStice by steam vessels acne; what was
shipped by sail we had no means of ascertain
ing; but as very high rates of Il eight were ex-
acted by the steamers, IL is quite probable the
81 shipments may have been I'm portant. In
addit on 10 this actual moYem mt, there were
on the I'D of March 80 steamers in the same
ports, with total capacity of % 900 quarters,
loading or waiting for cargOes. Probably these
vessels would have TO wait some time 10 COM
plete their cargoes fol an Odessa grain circular,
covering oates from the lst to the 18th of
March, says that more than three-fourths of
the local stocks had been shipped, "leaving
only small remnant to worR upon for the
present" The circular also says tn 4 'as the
rivers were unimpeded by ics, important sup
plies were likely soon to come forward by way
ant statement that "only about twenty
per cent. of the whole harvest has yet
arrived, and there is n large quantity still I'M
thrashed over and above the quantlty awaiting
beginning to appear at market" 1t would
thus appear that there is very large surplus
OF the Russian crop awaiting opportunities OF
shipment; and as steamers are awaiting to
receive it Immediately on arrival at the ports
il may be expected TO make early large contri-
buttons to the English and continental mar
kets. What may be the capacity of the Rus
sian railroads 10 carry grain, under the Cir
cumstances of an extensive military service
having to be rendered by them, il is not easy
to sey. AS, however, the movement of the
army is now towards the interior of Russia
rather than towards the ports, il would seem
probable that trains employed III carrying
troops home should be able to bring "a certain
amount of grain freight on the return trips.
In any event, the fact remains that Russia has
still very large stock of grain available for
