four in Missouri, one in Florida, one in Lou
isiana, one in South Carolina, two in Ten
nessee and one in Kansas; total, sixteen.
The radicals have gained four members of
congress in New York, one in Maryland, one
in Michigan, one In Illinois, two in Connec-
ticut, two in New Jersey and one in New
Hampshire; total, twelve; showing demo-
cratic gain in congressman of four members.
Besides this, the radical party has lost two
members of congress in Maine and two in
Iowa. Now, then, we ask, what in thunder
it is that makes the radical party
jubilant? The democratic party in
the next house of representatives will
have majority of about twenty-five MEM
bers, large enough for all practical purposes
The senate will be democratic and this
places the legislative branch Of the govern
ment under democratic control. If the rad
ical party feels like rejoicing over such a
State of facts, we do not care to object; but it
must be the grimest sort of fun.

Morocco Leather.

Morocco leather is made from goatskins
tanned In sumacb, dyed in the ordinary way,
having been previously immersed in a solu-
ton of sulphuric acid; and the grain or
stamping upon it is done either by hand or
machinery, similar to that for the purpose of
dicing or granting. Very fine small skins
for gloves are often prepared by immersion
tannin, -four and the yoke of eggs being ap-
piled to soften and whiten. Buff leather,
not now quite SO much in request as In for
mer days, was at first made from
the skin of an animal called the
buffe or urus, which was then COM
mon in western EUROPE. When new, the
leather was a tawny yellow, and the skins
gave the name to the color. Cordova leather
was first made at Coroovs, in Spain, from
hides dressed to be used with the grain side
outward 1t was from this leather that the
title of cordwainer came. Russia leather is
tanned in an infusion of willow or birch
bark, and derives its peculiar and long-en-
during ordor from the birch oil with which
it is dressed. Leyant leather is first "struck
OUT in warm water on a mahogany table,
"blscked" with logwood and iron liquor,
and ''grained up'' by the workman
with "corking board on table. The
grain is set into the leather on hot stove,
and after this it is oiled with cod oil. In
finished japanned leather the jspanning
mixture is worked by the hand alons. This
mixture consists simply of linseed oil and
Prusslan blue, the last coat being Of linseed
oil and lamp black, put evenly over the sur
face as it lies spread out on table. No
machine has vet been made to supersede
the hand in this part of the work. In the
backing OF skins mixture of OK blood and
acetate of iron is now very often used.

THE ELECTION.

The smoke of the battle is clearing away
and already enough is known to determine
results with such approximate accuracy as to
leave little doubt as to final figures. Ia the
outset il may be well to remark that the po-
litical complexion of the next house of rep
resentstives has not been changed, and when
the votes are counted it will be seen that the
radical party has not added to its strength in
congress. The most ii can claim is the trans
fer Of two states from the democratic Col
umn in the event that the choice of presi-
dent in 1880 devolves upon the house OF rep
resentatives, and these states were gained by
pluralities and not by msjor1ties These
facts should not be lost sight of In estimat-
Ing the future of political parties. The YER
dict of the American people is that radical
ism, upon every issue that has been brought
to their attention during the campaign, is
wrong. The difficulty has been to unite
opposing forces. The national, or greenback,
party owes its origin to the vicious financial
legislation Of the radical party. Not content
with the remedies proposed by the demo-
cratic party, which were certain to work out
tens OF thousands of the people in almost
every state in the Union demanded such ex-
treme legislation upon financial questions
that third party became inevitable-snd
the consequences are set forth by the cleo
ton on Tuesday in states where, had all the
opponents of radicalism combined upon
democratic platforms, a sweeping victory
would have been achieved of the greatest
importance. 1t is we'll worth while just here
to review the position Of the democratic
party upon current issues. From the mo-
nent ii obtained control OF the national
house of representatives policy of retrench-
ment and economy was introduced and de
family maintained. This policy was in con-
sonance With the declared wishes OF the
nationals. The democratic majority in the
house of representatives, knowing full we'll
that thieves were in Office plundering the
revenues Of the country, Immediately set to
work to arrest such piratical proceedings
and bring the guilty to justice. This course
the nationals professed to believe was emil
nently patriotic. The democratic party in
congress, regarding the course of the radical
party in the south, where sovereign states
were prcstrate beneath the heel OF the mill
tary power, demanded the removal of the
troops preliminary to appropriations for
the maintenance of the army, and
in obedience to its fiat the troops were re-
moved. Nationals we're in full accord with
this demand. The democratic party saw
that the policy OF contracting the currency
was filing the land with bankruptcy, power
ty and idleness, and sought by every means
in its power to arrest the work Of devastation
and ruin. This effort on the part of the
democratic party was enthusiastically in
dorsei by the national party. The demo.
cratic party regarded the demonstration Of

Grant Ordered Back.
Washington Post.


The announcement made by General
Hickenlooper at the late reunion Of the Army
of the Tennessee, to the effect that Grant had
decided to abandon the residue of his con-
templated tour aroundthe world and return
home in a few weeks, possesses considerable
political significance 1t is the first step In
the radical programme of 1880
In short, every remaining partisan energy
and resource of radicalism will be concen-
trated upon the name and fortunes of Grant,
and, so far as the awkward restraints of a
congress democratic in both branches will
permit, the radical managers intend to &C
complIsh the gigantic task of packing the
country to either elect Grant in 1880 or bring
about state of affairs that Will enable him
at their head to seize the government by a
coup d'etat upon the expiration of Hayes
term, irrespective OF the result of the cleo
ton We shall be able to give further and
more explicit details of this plot about the
time the conference meets here.

silver as great wrong committed IN the in.
terests OF bondholders and Shylocks, and as
a result the silver dollar was restored to the
standard coins of the country. This measure
the nationals Endorsed to a man. The demo-
cratic party In congress maintained that the
law fixing the date of resumption
on the first day of January, 1879, was pre-
mature, and fraught with incalculable in
jury to business, and demanded its repeal,
and when this could not be accomplished a
law was passed for the reissue Of greenbacks
rs fast as they were redeemed. This move
ment was strictly in consonance with the
demands of the national party. The demo
cratic party, fully persuaded that green.
backs are a cheaper and better cur
rency than bank bills, is pledged 10
the change when 1t has the power
and this measure one of special promi-
nence in the platform of the nationals. Here,
then, are a number of vital issues to which
the democratic party is irrevocabiy
pledged, every one OF which the
nationals indorse, and every of
them is in direct antagonism to
the radical programme NOIWlLnSIanOlDS
these facts, the nationals insisted upon o
separate political organization, and as q
result of this division of the opponents Of
.radicslism the radical party is able to make
a show of strength which it does not possess,
and elect few members of congress, when
the triumph rightfully belonged TO its oppo-
nents. Tnis division of the foes of radical
ism and the friends Of honest government
accounts for almost every success obtained
by the radical party on Tues
day, and such will be the exhibit
when the count is fully made up and the
official returns are given to the public.
With this view of the case what becomes OF
the radical party provided its opponents
combine to defeat it2 The question is easily
answered, and the probabilities are that,
from the lesson of Tuesdays election, the
friends of honest government will learn
wisdom, and when the next battle is fought
the foes of rsdicalism will fight shoulder to
shoulder and make an end of the oountry's
greatest curse.

FACTS AND FORECASTS.

For some time to come politicians and
those who take special interest IN govern
mental affairs will be engaged in group
ing established facts to ascertain their I'M
mediate influence, and for the further par
pose of estimating their bearing upon future
events as they relate to the ascendency OF
political parties The facts of commanding
importance and eminently significant OF the
real demands of the people relate to the
ascendency of the democratic party
in the legislative department
of the government They record with abso-
lutte certainty the revolution that has been
going on for years IN public sentiment, show
ing an incorporating hostility to radical
rule, and they evidence purpose on the
part of the people to adhere to their convic-
tons until radicalism is exiled from power.
The recent elections in no wise evidence any
disposition on the part the people to re-
enthrone the radical party. In looking
over the field it will be observed that the
opponents OF radicalism were divided
upon nonessential issues, and yet, In spite
Of this division, the democratic party has

The foregoing figures relate simply to the
agricultural products, and though they fur
nish the most reliable data at hand, they dc
not in all probability, upon a liberal esti-
mate, give more than go per cent of the act
ual products for the year named. Be this as
it may, it does not affect the fact that Indi-
annapolis is in the very center Of this vast
agricultural wealth, with all the required
facilities to control the lions share
of the large trade of which 1t is
the substantial basis. These agricul-
tural products will steadily increase
in amount and value, and as steadily add
to the volume of the trade Of this city. Here
will concentrate more and more the grain
products to be distributed to other markets,
and here will concentrate the cattle and

AS TRADE CEN
TER.

We have IN former articles referred to the
railway facilities which enable the mer
chants and manufacturers OF Indianapolis to
concentrate in their warehouses and shops
the raw materials Of commerce, and to dis
tribute to the people In the shortest time
practicable such wares aud merchandise as
enter into general use and consumption. 1t
would be difficult to exaggerate these facili-
ties, or over estimate the advantages they
secure. With reference to the state of Indi-
ana, as also to the group of central empire
states, the geographical position of Indian
apolis can not fail to attract attention II
location has any commercial signif
canoe at all, and it is universally con-
coded to be of the highest importance,
than indianapolis can boast of exceptional
advantages in this regard. Indianapolis is
near the geographical center OF the state,
and with capital constantly concentrating
here she must in the nature OF things exert
a controlling influence, in its commercial
and financial affairs. Indiana is state of
large wealth, which is constantly increasing,
and it is for the purpose of grouping a GER
tain class OF statistics bearing directly upon
trade affairs that we write this article.
The annual report of the auditor OF
state gives tabulated statements of the COM
mercial products or Indiana facts that
ought to be popularized by wide distribu-
ton among the people. The statistics re-
ferred to are compiled for the year 1876, and
we assume that for the year 1878 decided
gains will appear when the facts are pub
lished. In the following statements "show-
ing the amount and number of agricultural
products of Indiana" we give estimated
values for purposes which will appear:
