The financial and business aspects graphic

Record of Saturday last:
seWe are entering upon an era of improved
business. or, at all events, of anticipated i'm
proven ent, based on the solid foundation of the
enormo GUS crops that are growing and being
harvested under such favorable circum-
stances. Everything points In one direc-
tion-that Of prosperity and wealth The
past twelve months has enabled US to pay our
debts, In consequence of the large trade bal
ance due to the United States. This country
United States government bonds, being not
only the accumulation of that much wealth
but the saving Of $9,000,000 in annual inter-
est. which would otherwise have been sent
abroad for the benefit Of foreign capital
The total Of these bonds held In Europe in 1869
was about 5000 900 000 whereas the most au-
thentic calculations of the present date fix the
amount at only $3.50, 100000. The coin balance
in the treasury on July TWAS $197, 415O00 of
which $4,370,0 900 were represented by coin
notes. However, the amount Of coin In the
treasury may be considered equal to AZ per
cent of all the coin and greenback circulation
outstanding against it,. 1t does not need an
Adam Smith to tellus that If plenty of money
investment will flourish, nor that when these
results are arrived at times will be good, be-
cause we know that without the telling. The
fact is the prospect is very bright, Large
crops mean money in the hands of farmers
merchants and tradesmen, circulation Of
cash generally in the community, and we be-
Ijeye that we are Justified in saying that be-
fore long the cry nf hard times will be for
gotten expression"

friend of her husbands. Six weeks after he
became q widower he married this SYM

EIis creditors that he hadn't any resources
wherewith to discharge his obligations to

applauding his kindness, they seek to rob his

The wheat, rye and hay crops of 1873, says
ahe st. Louis Republican, are mostly secured,
especially in the great grain growing States
THE oats are beginning to turn, and will soon
be ready for the reaper. The intense heat Of
the past fortnight has brought forward the
corn, and the apprehensions that the crop
w'puld be a partial failure are diminished.
Vegetables of all kinds are exceptionally
abundant and of good quality, and the fruit
yield, especially of peaches and apples, prom
sses to be above the average of fair years. All
in all, the year 1878 will be remembered as one
ri exceeding abundance throughout the
kngth and breadth of the land. The surplus
of farm commodities will be immensely larger
$han that of any year of the last decade.
Prices will rule sensibly lower than they have

The New York journal OF commerce mas
this to say concerning the dry goods trade:
As usual to the season, and more particu-
larly the period of the season, the volume OF
trade has been light. The result is neither
unexpected nor disappointing. Buyers have
been present in considerable numbers, but in
dependence day and hot weather have made
their personal presence in the market exceed
ingly irregular, as no influences have been
sufficiently strong to compel transactions
other than for legitimate wants. The close
of the week shows the tone of the market as
fairly steady, with the tendency on the part
of buyers quite general to go to work in the
completion Of stocks.
There is an improved feeling expressed by
buyers as to the future OF prices, the general
steadiness on the part OF agents and owners
| of leading styles and qualities throughout
| the last two months having fav0rably i'm
pressed them as to the true condition of
| things. The Misrepresentation Of the cost Of
| production of late years is more largely re-
| sponsible for the want OF confidence on the
| part of buyers than manufacturers have any
| idea Of but now that cotton and WOODEN mills
are stopped because of the impossibility of
realizing new dollar for an old one, dis
| tributers of all classes are having their eyes
open to the fact; hence operations OF a legl-
innate character in the preparation OF autumn
| stocks will soon be in order.
| A year ago all such staple fabrics as brown,
| bleached, blue and dyed cottons, blankets,
flannels, Kentucky jeans, heavy woolens and
many other styles of cottOns and wooens
were handled to large extent in consequence
OF the increased freight rates that went into
operation July 1, 1877. The market has been
without such influence this year, as 1t was
not possible, with the canal and other routes
Offering strong competition in the way OF
transportation at low rates, that merchants
would be forced into q repetition of the speCu-
lative action of last year. There has been
some endeavor on the part Of manipulators
of the market for raw materials to intimidate
BUYERS by the announcement of higher prices
in consequence of the decreased supply visi,
BILE, but with the goods markets of the world
showing such an overstock or reduced con.
sumption, whichever will suit our readers
better, such efforts have been without effect
and were as imperative as they were incor
rect.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

At the Territorial Democratic Con.
vention at Vancouver the following
resolutions were adopted as the plat.
form on which that party will make
their campaign stand:
l. That we are unalterab!y opp sd
to the dismemberment of the Terri, =
and are in favor of State govrs...
at the earliest moment our popul ; :.
and wealth will justify the same.
2. That we are unqaallfiedly 10 favor
OF the extension OF time for the compile
ton Of the main line and branch of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. and we
recognize as enemies of the prosperity
of our people all who oppose such
extension.
3. That the improvement of the Co,
lumbis. Snake aud other great rivers
of our Territory are national works.
which should be prosecuted to an early
completion.
4. That We recognize the mutual de.
tendency of labor and capital, and
deprecate all attempts to antaeonize
them in the combination of capital to
control. and the strikes of labor to resist
this control, IS destructive to the true
interests Of both.
5. That the present business depres-
SIGN and wide spread distress through
ont the Union is chiefly attributable to
uuwise measures of finance for which
the Republican party is wholly respon
sibie.
8. That the policy of the Government
in relation to the Indian tribes on this
coast. the experience of the past DEM
onstrates to be . failure. and change
therein is imperatively demanded; such
an abandonment of the reservation
system as will insure the breaking up
of the tribal relations Of the Indian. or
the consolidation of all the reservations
into one with military control, IN order
that the annual raids of the hostile
bands and the murder of our citizens
may be effectually checked. the peace
and prosperity Of the Territory re-
quires.
!. That the liberties of our nation
