the purchase of securities that are held to be alb
lutely safe. 1t is a noticeable and gratifying
fact that in spite of the murmurings of malcon-
tents and dismal forebodings of reputation
among the disciples of communism the bonds
OF the Government continue to be negotiated in
large quantities at four per cent. per annum,
That is remarkably significant commentary
on the omincus threatenings of the disturbers
OF the public peace who go about haranguing
mobs and melting the spoliation of the frugal
and industrious who have succeeded in amass.
ing more or less wealth.
There is no doubt whatever but that the CAP
italists, who are proverbially timid and ready
to take alarm at the slightest symptom of pop
nlar tumult, have been made uneasy by the rant
,ngs of set of creatures who have been travel
ing around considerably of late, under the pre-
tense of championiRg labor and endeavoring to
stir up the hearts of those who have little or
nothing, with envy and malice towards those
who have something or much, and yet it does
not appear that these peripatetic vagabonds have
made proselytes, or that their brutal teachings
have obtained any considerable following. Now
and then we see that some decaying politician
who has in turn professed allegiance to every part
ty, without ever having been true to any, CRAWL
tates towards and floats with this scum. But
your thorough paced demagogue is generally
wretchedly short sighted animal, and in his
anxiety to jump on the winning side of the
fence very often leaps before he looks and
drops into the losing crowd. Present appear
ances indicate that piece of good luck of this
kind has recently befallen the Republicans of
Massachusetts,, and if such should turn out to
be the fact, they will take some consolation for
the i'll wind that blew to their shores a ranter
whose gable is alike defiant of the laws of God
and the rules of grammar.
