EFFECT HARD TIMES AND ExTRAvAGANcE
Merchants affirm that all this Is due solely to the
hard times which all industries have experienced
They say that whercas in 1870 1874 burres We're i'm
ported. and in 1877 726s4 barrels ii has forced the
price from $2l to $40 and what other business Is
there that can show reduction of nifty five per cent
on the produce of their business and yet live and
100 cents on the dollar? They argue that hard times
and over production the causes. Up To 1871 the
Americans produced just about what the country
would consume, with fair amount to be exported
to the West Indies The taking off of the duty let in
Hoods of fish from the Provinces which had to be
marketed here i'll this country, and the result was
that ii threw all the business into the channel which
had been spoken for and occupied by our fishermen.
That is why the business has gone down.
The New England fishermen it is estimated, num-
Der probably forty thousand people. They draw
their living from the and nothing else. and the
merchants say that the difference is going to be felt
by them and them alone.
HAVE CHEAP
Again. the plea for cheap fish is made be-
cause Boston is a large sugar mart, and it
requires cheap fish to do business successfully
with the West Indies. In other words. the
can furnish sugar vessels with outward cargo,
the idea being to fill hogsheads and other sugar and
molasses receptacles with fish Ii the British fisher
men catch fish cheaper than Americans of
it is for the interest of Boston mart to have the
fish come from the Provinces. When the fish is
worth S3 per quintal i'll Halifax and S3 90 in Boston
Boston cannot ship any to the West Indies. But II
the price is the III both cities then Boston
do the West India business, because 1t has got
many vessels outward bound which go there with
comparatively no freight We conld get the India
trade instead Of Halifax. because the distance is
not great. The merchants further state
that up to 1871 our fishermen could not catch fish
cheapy the British for it cost forty per cent more
to build fishing vessel under the American flag than
it did under the Brtsh but with the general shrink
age Of values the difference is now almost impercep
tible
OUR FISHERMEN MUST REDUCE EXPENSES.
Our fishermen have been educated by the extraya-
gances of the war. with all other classes and they
cannot go on board vessels without luxures The
Canadians have had no such education but
tent to live on corned beef and hardtack; the
suit is that the British board bill is to the American
board bill as one is to five
1t will be how the fishing fraternity regard
the business. If the Americans had the duty the
increased import from the Provinces there would be
no dissension exhibition OF feeling about the
award The merchants satisfied generally, and
consider that the sales good be expected
in view Of the general depressed condition of things
As it is, the Provncials certainly compete with
the Americans until the expiration of the treaty in
1888 Until then many vessel owners think that the
prices will be low and meagre profits If any, will be
realized.

Tue Detroit Tribune OF July &c, says: The
Republicans Of the Fourth District yesterday
selected as their Congressional candidate the
Hon. julius C. Burrows Of Kalamazoo. Mr..
Burrows is one OF the best known Of the Re-
publicans OF The State. and one OF the most
effective political speakers in the Northwest,
has had public experience, and will make a
useful AID industrious representative. The
circumstances attending his nomination will
undoubtedly occasion some disappointment,
but wo feel convinced that the Republicans of
the Fourth District will soon forget merely
personal and local considerations and unite in
the cordial support Q! a candidate who has
rendered such constant and valuable service to
the Republican cause through a long series of
years as has Capt. Burrows.

Resumption OF specie payments would add
over $20O,OOO,OOO Of coin to the circulating
medium Of the country. Those who favor in

The Chicago Tribune says that Vanderbilt,
who has been gobbling up western roads in
such profuson, has been outwitted and cir
cumvented by his rival Jay Gould, and that
his pct scheme OF controlling the railroad sys-
tenn between the east and the west has probab-
ly been, so to speak, knocked into a cooked
hat Jay Gould so says the Tribune, has been
purchasing Lake Shore stock for the past 10
days, aud has bought enough to control the
road IL this is the case Vanderbilt's idea OF
making the Erie mere local line will fail in
execution, for the Erie will have direct through
communication With Chicago via the Lake
Shore, and with Omaha and Kansas City via
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, which is
controlled BY Gould and makes close con-
nectious with both the great overland roads at

From the Seneca Falls Co. IN. " Courier.
1t is stated as fact that the large proportion
OF the new 4 per cent. bonds are now called
for IN small denominations-s50 and 800
showing that the people Of moderate means
are utilizing them as a source for applying
their savings. The more Of this class Of bond
holders" We have among us, the better for the
people. fact parallel to this was what made
the French loan SO successful in restoring
monetary prosperity to that country.
The purchasing power OF the dollar is what
controls Its value. The Republican system has
brought the greenback dollar and the national
bank note up to the value Of the coin dollar
1t was the only honest thing to do, and it has
been done.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAN in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
Dry, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning.
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several OF the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

THE Democracy are hot happy. Even
at Washington, with majority in the
House and grand opportunities OF prob
able majority in the Senate; with board
ing houses OF such hash as not otherwise
found. these and more, and yet not hap
Ply. The Washington post grieves over
the fact that the Democrats have no lead
er; that Randall is unable to hold the
reins or crack the whip about the with
ers of the fellows who kick in the traces
and fail to pull; that he is too weak and
vascillating; that Cox is too funny tor So
Der business; that Ewing is offensive to
the gold-bug Democrats of New England.
Proctor Knott is too eloquent. Hewitt
knows good deal about corn bread and
bat little about honest leadership. Wood
has all the qualities of leader. has the
brains and dignity and the experience,
but be is not allowed the privilege. This
is a sad condition for the great Demo
cratic party. The Republicans have been
thought somewhat torn up. but, aside
from the difference between the Presi-
dent and the party, there is harmony in
comparison. Ewing would cut loose
from the east, and Pendleton would flood
the country with greenbacks.
