Reports from official sources showt at the

earthenware and China brought into this
country during the past decade has been
$45. 667, GIL. The importations for 1877
we're, in value, $3,74l, 720; those of 1878,

showing an increase in accord with the
growing demand for ornamental pot
terry in this country. This four
or five millions of dollars per year which
now goes out of the country should be
gathered in by the manufacturers of this
land.-The retirement of all the $346 000,-
900 and upward of greenbacks is the Re-
publican programme, and if that party sue
ceeds next year the plan will be carried
out. This $346, 100000 draws no interest,
circulates as money and commands small
premium over gold. Funded in four per
cent bonds it would draw about $14 4,300,-
600 interest per annum, payable quarterly.
What need is there OF thus increasing the
burden of our large public debt? The only
true answer is, the National Banks demand
it. and the Republican party is the party
OF the National Banks.
The Gazette says: Mayor Jacob tells q
plain story about the lewd shows which
disgrace our city and defy its laws. He has
either revoked their licenses or refused to
license them, and they are now open in
plain violation of law. He has notified the
police authorities that the Vines rect
Opera House, and six other vile places OF
so-called amusement are unlicensed. 1t is
we'll to place the responsibility where it be-
longs. The men who can close these shows
if they wish, and who should if they would
do their duty, are Messrs. Sutton. Dorsch,
Won Martels Eph. Morgan, Hal. Young
and Chief of Police Wappenstein.-The
proposition to heat the city by steam is an
the City Council should hastily propose to
years without investigating the matter, or
If it is practicable, then the city should
using the Streets and there ought to be
reasonable restrictions in regard to the
charge for the use of steam.-The canal
can be converted to uses which would
greatly promote the growth of the city,
and greatly raise the value of property
along its line and on the streets which cross
it, and of the district beyond. 1t can give
a complete circuit to belt railroad for the
transfer of freight 1t can give
an entrance to railroads, both
east and west, to the heart of the
city, which are now compelled to set down
their passengers at far distant stations 1t
would make saving III the cost of hauling
local freight to and from railroads, which
would amount to more than the business
of the whole canal. 1t would probably
provide way for a central union passen-
ger station IN the very center of population.
1t would shorten by as much as twenty
minutes the time required for suburban
residents to reach their business.--I is tol-
erably safe to say Congress will not sus-
pend the coinage of the silver
dollar, withdraw greenbacks, or repeal
the legal tender act. It il also tolerably
sale to say it will let the finances alone.
Mr. Howard Carroll, correspondent of the
New York Times writing from Louisiana
before the election, said that "the Repub-
lican candidates will be elected by a hand
some majority" but that 1t is none the
less certain that they will never be permit
ted to take their seats; they will be counted
out in the most barefaced and shameless
fashion," Our own correspondent in
Louisiana, Hanson, described the same
state of thin.s, and showed that the Demo-
cratic party have the machinery so COM
plete for counting and returning the vote
to suit their party, that the Ku Kluxing of
voters has become unnecessary. 1t is easier
to stuff ballot boxes. to count Republican
votes Democratic, and to forge poll-books
than to ride about in red-shirted troops or
by night in black masks, to whip and kill
colored men to teach them not to vote
And this fraud seems to suit the Southern
chivalry quite as we'll.

The Volksfreund says: The Democrats
were victorious in Louisiana. The State
ticket was elected by twenty thousand ma
iority. The city of New Orleans alone gave
six thousand majority for the Democratic
candidates. The new constitution was also
adopted by big majority.
The Volksblatt saws: In a few weeks, it is
said, the Southern Railroad will be opened.
Then we will all become millionaires. Un-
til then, have patience.-If we are ever to
get rid of greenbacks now is the time. A
more favorable opportunity will hardly
again present itself-The managers of the

The Freie Presse says The Volksfreund

right.-There is little foot-race between
