the discoveries, the most wonderful Is
that made by Hot Box. He has dis

democrat, for I am not one Of those
whose policy has been to leave the par
ty and assist in disorganizing it, and
defeating its regularly nominated can
didates when they or their friends are
to be benefited by it, and then after
having accomplished their purpose,
rush back and call themselves better
democrats for having done so.
There are some democrats so-called
in this county, prominent among whom
is Hot Box, who are extremely SEN
sitlve upon the subject Of that portion
Of their political life beginning in the
year 1871 and ending a year or two
ago. and anything that has the slightest
connection with their course during
that time touches them TO the quick.
II is standing sore, thorn that is con-
tinually gouging them, of which they
are unable 10 rid themselves. A few
Of them are more ashamed of IL in con-
sequence OF having failed TO accomplish
the object tor which they broke loose
from the democratic organization. In
their efforts TO cast off the odium rest
ing upon them, they render themselves
ridiculusly officious and conspicuous,
and sometimes offensive, and instead Of
being contented TO remain for while
in the party on probation, as true peni-
tents should, they attempt TO assume
the role OF leadership. thereby render
ing themselves more obnoxious.

cries Of ignorant demagogues and to be
Intervening Witnesses Of thought and
ability. Prof. Sumner. Horace White
and Charles Francis Adams have been
put upon the witness stand, boz we
have oaly space at present for The views
Of the former. Prof. Sumner argues
that "dispropOrtionase production" and
not "overproductiOn" is the proper term
to be employed. He thinks that pro-
iectiye legislation. which forces indus

is one esuse of the trouble. He con-
siders a gIat OF goods in trade as only a
temporary evil, and calls attention TO
the fact that when the Suez canal was
completed Il was thought to be fall
ure, because the immense stock Of
goods, which was Immediately accum-
ulated, caused glut, this glut crisis,
and then a reaction set in naturally,
which checked business through the
canal. But as soon as the accumulated
goods were worked of, things adjusted
themselves and the Suez canal business
at once recovered. The increased
movement reproductions, brought about
by the opening Of the canal. must result
in great improvement and great devel-
opmeat Of The well being Of ell classes.
The difference between the immediate
and the ultimate effects Of the introduce
ton Of machinery are pointed out. Pro-
fessor Sumner discovers the local causes
Of the present depression in The late
war. What was then destroyed must
be reproduced, and reaction from the
fictitious prosperity Of war times is in
evitable. Self-denial and hard work
must bring us through this period Of de-
preston which follows logically and
cannot be avoided. Legislation can do
little good and may do great deal of
mischief.
