favor of the importers of steel blooms,

that the decision would render $50 ,ooo>

100, 1000 men out of employment in this

A NUMBER Of New York banks have
been brought up standing by the Bank
Examiner, for certifying the checks of
stock brokers and others on the street,
engaged in speculation for often double
and treble the amount of their deposits,
The craze for speculation in stocks, that
come up so suddenly, appears to have
caught the banks, as well as the men
who are regularly in the business. The
next chapter in the story will be panic
and suspension Of all the banks.-Cin.

WHAT THE GRANT BOOM MEANS.

To The Editor of The Sun!
SIR-Permit an independent Republi.
can to Corroborate an implied prophecy
in Richard 0'Gorman's remarks at
Brooklyn. He intimated that third
nomination of Grant would be equiva.
lent TO an avowal by the Republican
party of the United States, that they
were for limited monarchy, an empire
anything meaning strong govern
ment, and Offices with fat salaries for the
men who in State, Congressional dist.
riots, city and borough, run the machine.
This is absolutely correct. If Grant be
nominated, and chosen President in 1880
there is not the shadow of doubt the
life Of the Republic would be in danger

THE Pittsburgh Gazette admits this
Republican administration is giving aid
land comfort to the free traders, who
"are busily preparing for the overthrow
cor modification of our tariff laws. ="
Now, this is not Fernando Wood or the

this, or the "solid South" but the Re.

WHILE the Republicans are growing 80
loudly over their success in Ohio and
Iowa, they seem to have quite forgotten
that Connecticut also held an election on
the 14th day Of October. The complete
returns in that State show that the Re-
publicans carried twenty towns, the
Democrats afCy-six towns, and that thir.
ty-nine towns chose officers divided be-.
tween the Two parties. Last year the
Republicans carried eighty towns. But
then this result doesn't count-the fig
ures are in the Democratic column.

They are beginning to doubt in the
East whether resumption will be perma-
nent, and the proposition from Secretary
Sherman to sell 100000 of gold out of
the Treasury and put it in the Sinking
Fund gives rise to considerable objection.
This criticism from his own party must
be gall and wormwood for John Sher-
man, the author and finisher of the re-
sumption scheme Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE Chronicle announces the impor-
tation of 500 tons of pig iron from
England for one or two of our iron works,
and says "this is the heaviest importa-
"ton ever made to the city, and others
twill follow" The Chronicle does not
state that this importation is made pos
sible by the reduction on the duties on
iron, steel, glass, coal, etc, by the Re"
publicans under Grants administration.
But for this "free trade blow at our stag.
gering industries" all this pig iron could
have been produced in this country, afN
fording employment to American labor
and capital, as against the "pauper com
petion of foreign lands"
That's about the jargon. We can.
not see how the Chronicle will
make out a clear case in this mat
ter against Tilden, especially as it
says he has exhausted the little vi
tality he has left" in massacreing Thur

"CHARLRs be a good boy" said the late

Charles few minutes before he died,
the last words the able man uttered.
That boy Charles was elected to the Leg

the largest majority of any man on the
Democratic ticket in that county.

THE Bessemer steel monopoly gets an
exposure from a steel manufacturer
through the Gazette, which lets in lit
tie sunlight upon the howlers for pro-
hibitory tariff. When it suits Mr.. Nor.
rill, or the Edgar Thomson steel works
to buy raw material abroad, how quick
the question of home industry is shut
out. 1t is this Bessemer monopoly that
prevents the full development of our re-
sources in that direction. Whilst the
few who own the patents are making
fortunes, they refuse to permit even for
a royalty, any use of the patterns in the
manufacture of steel.-Pitt8. Post.
