The news by cable tells a dismal tale OF
English trade depression. From the IRON
workers OF Wales and the jute and flax
workers of Scotland; from the poiters OF
North Staffordshire, the golfers of North
cumberland, the Lancashire cotton-weav-
ers, and the Sheffield cutters from the
mutiform industries Of Birmingham and
the seli-contained circles of trade in the
Scottish metropolis. come the same mo-
notonous tale of distress. Contracted
credits, decreasing foreign trade, and a
glut of all the markets on which Great
Britain relies for her manufacturing pros
perity are bearing their fruit in thousands
of starving artisans. and Il sudden shift
ing backward OF the narrow line which
divides the English workmen from pau
perism. What is called the liquidation of
the bad business of the last lew years is
in active progress. but no one ventures to
guess when the process will be complete.
The gentle and law-abiding spirit. which
it Is claimed by the Senatorial opponents
of Mr.. Blaine's resolution, fills the breasts
at white citizens in Louisiana and South
Carolina, is well illustrated by the follow
ing extract from recent number of The
Natchitoches indicator, paper which
has monopoly OF State advertising for
its vicinity and is the recognized organ of
the democracy:
We understand that United States Marshal,
with batch Of sffidavits and warrants, arrived
Wednesday evening, and not liking the looks of
things befeahouts, called hack and departed be-
fore night. When the arrest of any citizen of
tn s parish is attempted under a law which the
Supreme Court pronounced unconstitutional and
which is null and void, we desire to state, in the
language Of Gov rnor Jackson, of Missouri, to
General Lyon, They will have d lively time
doing it, The sovereign people of these States
sre to make stand somewhere and at some time.
This We conceive to be as favorable an oppottunl-
ty as i'll probably ever occur.
Our state is to be ruled iu but two wavs
either the people must do it or the sword. We
acknowledge that Mr.. Hayes and his crowd Of
mt rcenaries and tyrants are pursuing most In
sidious policy to destroy all civil liberty this
country. They are cloakiog their efforts beneath
"forms Of law" We have warned our people
against this from the very hour we first had the
honor Of representing their views. Let them be
ware OF such an ,ffort. Charles J., Charles III
George Ill and Napoleon Borspalte are examples
OF those who built, or attempted TO build, their
own greatness on their countiy's ruin through
forms OF law" And let II be remembered that
the great legal luminsries of those days, Coke
Blackstone, and Mansfield, sustained with all
the il power the t,rsnts in their efforts to over
throw popular hb,r ty.
We make the assertion that now, as a precedent
has been iui nished so marked and hsgrant as the
usurpaton of Hayes in the Presidential contest.
all danger to our liberties as p,ope lies in the
stretch of the legal prerogaiive. Beware, Amer
cans, of the "fo ms Of law"

Wbat Democracy has Done.

With majority only in the lower
house of Congress, and with the Sen
ate against them, the Democrats have
compelled the reconciliation of sill
yer; stopped the further destruction
of Greenbacks; passed n bill in the
House requiring the Government tc
receive greenbacks the same as gold
in the payment of duties; diminish
ed n large standing army, and there
by saved seven millions of money;re.
duced enormous salaries, and cut of
extravaganza perquisitics of high ar
my officers, and thus saved millions
moro.
They have economical all appro.
priations by govornment-and have
thus broken up innumerable thiev.
ing "rings" which fattened upon the
government and the distresses Of the
pcople-thus saving millions more,
They have taken the sword and the
bayonet from the Threats of the
Southern people, and thus permitted
them again TO assume self-government
and reinstate prosperity-thus restor'
ing a trade by which tho Northern
people in times of Democratic gov
eminent and in the future will again
make hundreds Of millions Of profits
for the people Of the North.
The Democratic party in Congress
has proposed and endeavored to pass
every possible measure of economy
and reform, and has been defeated in
its full purposes by the opposition
and obstinancy Of the Republican
Senate and President.
There is not q just and proper
measure Of reform that the Democrat
ic.G reonbacker favors that has not in
the past been and will in the future
be supported by the old Democratic
party. Why then should any man,
and particularly q workingman,
abandon itP Every vote given by a
Democrat to the National party, gives
the Republicans Just that much bet
Ter chance TO continue the very poll
cy by which the country has been
