The Revival of Business.

The indications of substantial and per-
manent improvement in business of all kinds
are sufficient to induce the belief that the
present year will be the most prosperous one
The country has seen since 1878. The same
hopes, it is true, have been held out every
spring since the financial panic set in, hut
this time the prospect of II return Of better
times rest upon more enduring basis. Val
ues of all kinds have declined until the very
bottom has,been reached, and there must in
evitably be reaction The vast surplus of
manufactured articles has nearly all been
consumed, and it will be necessary to set man
ufactores of various kinds in motion again to
supply the wants of the people. Every bust
ness mans credit has been severely tested, and
the weaker have gone down. Legitimate, I'M
safe and speculative enterprisesin every depart
ment of business have been clearly marked
and business is now conducted in more prll-
dent manner than at any time since the be-
ginning ofthe war. This healthy reaction and
revival of business will be felt among farmers
as well as at the great centres of trade, but ii
will not be perceived here quite so soon. AS
the volume of trade increases and the now idle
work shops once more give forth sounds of
industry, the benefit will be felt in the coun-
try. The prices of the farmers products will
advance, and the better times so long expect
ed will prove to be reality The Philadel-
phia Times, in hopeful article on this sub
ject, says
ION every side there are the most conchl-
sive evidences of the revival of business
Capital that has been compelled to withdraw
from nearly all legitimate productive chan
nels has again ventured into them, and there
is a degree of trust pervading all business cir
cles that has never been known since the re-
vulsion came. 1t comes too, when business
men have been severely schooled by multi
piled misfortunes, and have been fitted to
profit by the altered circumstances of the
present. They understand that fortunes are
not to be made in day or in a year, and
that the deceitful fortunes of a tidal wave of
fictitious values are not to be acquired at all ;
but they understand also, that wisely directed
effort will now bring certain remuneration;
that legitimate industry will certainly he re-
Quilted, and that the business of 1879 starts
on the first solid foundation that we have
known since 1878. All classes have been suf-
ticiently sobered by the trials and disappoint
ments of the last five years, to accept things
as they are, and all can contribute largely to
hasten high degree ofgeneral business thrift,
by renewing their faith in government and
people and promoting every channel ofindus-
try that is prepared to meet any public want.
Business circles can do much to help or him
der the growth of prosperity, and now, forthe
first time since the surges of disaster came
npon the country, there is a sure foundation
for general prosperity

1t seems very evident that Il large majority
of the Democratic party desire the re-nomina-
lion of Tilden and Hendricks as their candi-
dates for President and Vice President in 1880.
The politicians, however, do not manifest any
very great amount of enthusiasm in Mr.. Til
denis behalf They doubtless fear, and with
good cause, perhaps, that Mr.. Tilden may in
troduce new method of managing the pub
lie business, and that party services, however
jealous may not secure appointment to office
unless accompanied by qualifications in the
way of fitness, good character, &c 1t will be
remembered that in 1S755..and &c also, the ma
chine politicians were not very enthusiastic
over the prospect of Mr.. Tilden's nomination,
bmt the people were greater and wiser than
the politicians and not only nominated him, but
elected him. The same thing will in all prob
ability happen this time. The tail will not be
allowed to wag the dog and Mr. Tilden will
again be the standard bearer ofthe Democrat
ic party and once more lead it to victory
Every argument that was used in favor of
Mr. Tilden's candidacy in 1876 will apply with
greater force now. Reforms are needed in the
federal government, and Mr., Tiiden has shown
his ability to institute and successfully carry
them out. He has been abused without
measure, for his supposed want of nerve in
not boldly asserting and maintaining his
rights, after the people of the United States
elected him President This charge, it has
been conclusively shown, has no foundation
in truth. Mr.. Tilden's advice was not needed,
The Electoral Commission was carried
through against his remonstrance, aud the
Presidency was lost to the Democrats. He
was charged with having endeayored to buy
electoral votes This charge has also been
efectually disposed of, by the results of the
investigation Of the cipher kilograms That
investigation showed that he had it in his
power topurchase way to the office to which
the people had elected him, but he scorned
the proposition. Amidst all the abuse and
reproach heaped upon him he preserved Il
dignified silence, and no complaint has ever
been made by him against those whose want
of political sagaciiy and tirmness cost him the
Presidency. The American people are not
ungrateiul. They have not lost confidence in
MIR. Tilden's ability to give them an honest
and economical government, and there conse-
quently seems to be determination to elect
him again, and by such majority that there
need be no resort to unconstitutional methods
