American Horses for England.

The Anchor line steamer Devonia, which sailed
yesterday, took out ninety three horses for Eso.

The expectation from this country of horses for.
English tramways began two years ago. The
English cart horse is too heavy and slow for ,ree,
railway service. and as English horse breeders
have generally given all their attention TO cart
horses OF blooded saddle and coach horses there
were no animals to meet the want. The supplv
Of light-built and enduring horses had for yesrs
been drawn chiefly from Ireland, but latterly this
source has been almost exhausted. Canada and
those parts Of the United States near the Cano.
dian border have now been called upon. The
horses from these sections are low in stature I'm,
long and strong bodied with heavy sweenino
names aud talls, and are endowed with power. Of
spirit and endurance that know no exhaustion
Another prime qualification of these animals !.

upon which an English horse would starye will
keep hall dozen Canadian ponies in health and
spirit.
These American horses, which were uscd a, f,o,
only on street railways, are now become general
favortes ia England. They are used for family
purposes, many coaches and carriages of the no
bihty being drawn by The shapely and nnti,inv
strangers During the first two years il is estimat
tu tudt J,Voo noTses Vi the Canadian and Morgan
breeds have been taken to England The Anchor
and the National lines have so far had almost a
monopoly OF the transportation from the ports of
the United States. and thousands have been
shipped from Quebec. These animals do not stand
an ocean voyage very well. They are, therefore
seldom carried excepting 10 the spring and sum
mer months. They are placed on deck in bor
stalls with padded sides and back and each hoy is
30 small that the animal cannot lie down. So soon
as morse shows signs OF leg WEAKNESS he is placed
IN slng Tor day or two to rest. Sometimes the
animals die, but the percentage of mortality j.
very small.
The cost of horses delivered on the other side
would astound an American buyer. An animal
for which he would not give over 5000 easily
brings tlOO in England, and it is thought cheaner
at that price than an English horse at half ii Al
amount. The difference in price, however, i, not
all profit for the exporter. The first cost Of each
horse is from Sl5e to $500. The transportation
to the seabord adds S25, and the steamship com.
panies charge S75 for passage. The Anglo Rus.
sian complications have increased the demand for
American horses this year, and an expectation il
expected larger by many thousands than those of
previous years. .Nec York Times.

Assumptions.

From the New York Tribune.
We do Secretary Sherman the credit OF
presuming that he has not overlooked the
financial difficulties still to be overcome
Some Of these, indeed it is evident, from
his recent statements, he sees. The critics
who fancy that he does not know the
difference between actual resumption and
mere equalization in market value OF
gold and greenbacks will be entirely un-
deceived. we take it for granted, in due
time. Evidently, it was necessary first to
secure that equalization, and to maintain
it sufficiently long to make free circula-
ton OF gold practicable. In proportion
as the business world becomes familiar
with the practical equalization, and conf
dent in its permanence, gold will cease TO
be boarded or held on special deposit. aud
will flow more freely into use as part of
the circulation and of bank reserves. and
in this respect it is an important success
that the price of gold has been held for
two full weeks within fluctuations of 3 3
OF one per cent, the premium at no time
exceeding very common rate of ex-
change between this and other cities. With
every week OF such prices of gold. the
position of Mr., Sherman is greatly
strengthened.
1t will become necessary for him. at
some time prior TO the lst OF January, to
make room in some way for the gold
which will cease to be merchandise and
will become currency with resumption.
The coin liz circulation In the Pacific
States will not be disturbed, of course
the boards in the Treasury and the bank.
will naturally increase as resumption
draws near; and the more active bushes.

may be expected to bring il the fall, vii

naturally draw into use an increased
amount OF currency without any unnat
ural initiation of prices. Nevertheless,
that increase cannot be expected to be,
and ought not to be, very large, and, in
order to safely add to the currency the
gold now held as merchandise, there must
of necessity be some corresponding with
lrawal of legal-tenders from immediate
use. Secretary Sherman has at command
several methods by which this withdraw
al may be effected. His suggestion that
leqal-tenders should be received for Gus
toms duties would meet that need, unless
Congress should so unreasonably swell the
expenditures of the Government, by other
measures like the River and liarbor Bill.
as to prevent the accumulation OF any
surplus. Sales of bonds for legal-tenders
would reach the same end. 1t is very
remarkable thing that one of the ablest
hard-money journals conceives that it
would be quite unfortunate if, in his tran
sactions with the Syndicate. the Secretary
should virtually receive and hold until the
list of January, in place of coin, the
greenbacks which are then to be redeem
able in coin. As the withdrawal OF legal
tenders, by this or any other process. will
tend to make room for the necessary adj
dition of coin to the currency. it can hard
ly be considered good sense for him to
miss opportunities OF eflecting such
change in part before the day of resump-
ton comes. But ii is enough to point out
a few of many methods by which, with
out further Legislation, the Secretary can
overcome this difficulty. The fact that
the existing volume of paper now floats
so nearly at par in coin indicates that no
great change in its volume will be neces-
Sary, excepting to make room for such
gold coin AS may gradually flow from
vaults and hiding-places, and come into
full use as currency.

has come to the conclusion that the South is too

opposed TO doing the South justice in public en-.

for the people Of that section TO begin asking
themselves what would be the effect If five or six
Southern States should take it into their heads TO
cast their Presidential Electoral votes in 1880
where they would do the most good.
That the Socialists of Chicago are arniug and
drilling, one of their leaders, A. h. Parsons,
frankly admits. He informs a reporter of The
Tribune that they intend to try the merit Of the
constitutional provision of the United States
which guarantees to every citizen the right to keep
and bear arms. AT our mass meetings this sum
mer, he says, 1--WE shall carry our arms with US,
and if the armed assas,ins and paid murderers
employed by the cspitalistic class undertake to
disperse and break up our meetings as they-did
in such an outrageous manner last summer, they
will meet foes worthy of their steel" "In other
words, you don't propose to use the arms until the
other side become the aggressors !" 1--WE don't
propose to use AIMS unless they intefe with us
and Try to break up our meetings. But as to their
being the aggressors, why that's what the CAPT
tsists always are. They are always treating the
working classes with violence. Isn't starvation
wages violencei Isn't trampism violence Isn't
depiiving men by the hundred thousand Of the
right to live and support their families violence,
and violence of the most infamous character We
simply resist. We protect ourselves That's all. /"
