IT is A little curious to observe now
surely the great laws Of trade work out
the ''eternal fitness of things" Now, it is
flashed across the ocean that the stand
which the Democrats and few Repub-
licans took in Congress against the con-
tinued demonetization of silver and in
favor of b-metallic currency of gold
and silver is about to make the United
States the "Findncidi Dictator Of the
World" We should not be at all sur
prised if this dispatch shall be realized
within the next two years. Should our
export trade continue and England con-
tinue to adhere to single gold standard,
and Germany fall i'll with the United
States and France, this must be the re-
suit, aud New York become the money
centre of all the the natious that use a
bi-metallic currency. Every patriot,
citizen must feel glowing pride at thi,
prospect. 1t will certainly hasten Mr.
Evarts in his work of sending out com
mission. He will not need to spend tn
$4,000 Oh his party favorites if he doe
not act soon. The dollar of 4125 gra N
may be acknowledged as worth ole hun
dred cents ia all the bi-melall nation
before he gets his men selected, if h.
does not act soon.

OUR correspondent CITIZEN" in
another column presents valuable
statement of the financial affairs of the
city, taken from the records, which we
recommend our readers to peruse. He
states facts, and they prove that the
management of the affairs of the city by
the present Democratic Council has been
wise and judicious and that the affairs oI
the city are now infinitely better thar
they were this time last year when the
Republican Council had been in power
the previous year.

RADICAL RHODE ISLAND is being
shown up in most unenviable light 10y
her own people as witnesses under oath
before the Congressional Investigating
Committee.
The purchase of votes is there carried |
on under a sy stem that would scarcely be !
thought of by honest pc pie. Even
property holders are known to sell their
votes at rate ranging from $40 to so
head. The payments are made in very
many ways. A general device is to let
crowd into barn and send envelopes
down through trap doo- to The voters
below sometimes however these ell
velopes are sent by pa rites who are in
the secret, and know just whom to give
them to. 1t will be amusing to the
honest voters of Delaware to read these
revelations. They remind us of the
counterfeit receipts the Delaware Radi-
cal politicians used in voting the negroes
so long, and We have no doubt that the y
got their dishonest election ideas from
Rhode Island or some other Eastern
Radical State.
But the worst feature is the exclusion
of the poor man from the right of suf
frage. No matter how honest, how re
ligious, how faithful, how many children
he is rearing and educating to be mel
and women, if he does not own pro
perty, he is not allowed to vote. He i
reduced to the condition of disinter
ested serf on election days. An Ameri
can serf is now nowhere found but in
New England Radical State.
There is still another class added t
these. The Irshman, the German an
the Frenchman, the Englishman and til
ScoJchman, and all other men who haT
pen to have been born abroad are pro
hiblted from voting in this Republica
State. Not one of them are allowed I
vote.
There is but one exception to all thes
classes and that is the beloved African
The foreign born negro is the idol Q
this republican State o-called). II
may vote without hindrance. The
know his vote is against an Irishmap {
q German /; and what is a little odd
does not matter if he happens to be Dor
in Germany or England, the color of I'll
skin is sure passport to the Republica
ballot, and the blacker the better. He
class that they do not expect to buy
they drive or starve him into their trace
they know he was chattle and they sti
use him as such. Even the poor wounde
Irishman who fought for the negro
freedom may see him enjoying the rigl
of suffrage on any election day in Rhot
Island, while the white man who riske
his life in the war is excluded frol
voting because he is poor.

IKE POTATO CRoP.-The acreage in
potatoes on the Sound this year was
larger than ever before. Blight and
other causes tended to reduce the yield,
which, however. by reason Of the in.
creased area sown, must have been
considerably larger than in any pre-
vious year. What the surplus product
will amount to we are unable to state.
but it cannot be less than three or four
hundred thousand bushels. Some rath-
or wild estimates have been made. -

owing to increased acreage alone.
What will be done with all these sur
