What II Means.

The enormous subscriptions for Govern
ment four per cents, last week, indicated, as
many of our contemporaries suggest, that
the capitalists take no stock in the polIti-
clans predictions Of another rebellion and
civil war There is another INFER
ence to be drawn from it, hardly less dis
tinct That is thai the capitalists have lit
tie or no fear that the Democrats will carry
the next National election. That prospect
of the turning over of the Government in all
its branches u the Democracy, controlled as
it is by the most reckless and dangerous
elements il the Nation, would be
viewed with great alarm by the capital
ISIS of the country, and would cause
great hesitation in investing IN Govern
ment securities, is certain. Everything
shows that the Inauguration of Democratic
administration, hacked by Democratic
Congress, ruled by solid South, would be
the signal for series of raids on the public
treasury and onsaughts on the public credit
which could only end in reputation and
virtual national bankruptcy. The moneyed
men of all parties see this, of course. They
are shrewd calculators and rarely make
mistakes in their forecasts of political con-
tests which affect directly the interests Of
capital and commerce and when they say
that they are ready to take all the Govern
ment bonds the Government has to sell, they
-ay that they arc confident that the party
which has been the great bulwark of the
public credit, the friend of resumption. and
the supporter of honest money, is to control
the Government for at least one term more.
