THE very able and venerable Worcester
Spy-the most influential Republican jour
nal in the State of Massachusetts, thus lee
lures the element IN the late congress. The
rebuke administered is singing one; but
where is the honest man who will not say
that it is deserved The Spy says;
Like superanuated warriors, the Repub-
licans in congress are determined to live on
the recollection of their past services; they
| demand authority, power, the confidence,
and support of the voters, as WORKOUT sol
diers demand pension, not for what they
can do or will do, but for what they have
done in the past.
And yet it is doubtful whether any party
leaders ever had greater opportunity to
benefit at the same time themselves and
their country than the Republicans in con-
gress have had and flung away since last
December. Before them stood the Demo
cratic party, divided on vital points of pol
icy and ready 10 split apart if only the dis
senting members could find somewhere else
10 rest Nearly third OF the Southern
districts were either lost 10 the Democrats
or held 10y so slight tenure that change
of five hundred votes would have
defeated the Democratic candidates.
There was no longer solid
South. for aside from the slender ma
jorities and pluralities half the Southern
members, and the ablest and most lnfuen-
tial half, came TO Washington deeply dis
satisfied with the Democratic programme.
There was no longer Solid South-but
congress had no sooner assembled than the
Republicans in congress undertook to make
it once more solidly Democratic, and 10
that end they have devoted literally almost
every day of the protracted session. To
this purely mischievous result, in order
that that they might keep the country in
alarm with the spectre of solid South,
they have increasingly appealed TO the
worst passions and used the basest arts"

TIE New York Herald has, uniformly,
been staunch supporter Of Republican
measures; but the conduct of that party's
representatives during the session of Con.
gress that has just adjourned, raises its
gorge. /. says; I'm the last six months
the Republicans in congress have pertinac-
iously struggled to put the country back
four years. This has been the single and
clearly conceived object Of series of op-
erations which they have carried on with
remarkable industry, audacity and inge-
nuity. No party in this country, not even the
Democratic party in 1859, was ever more
contemptuous toward its opponents, or
more skiltul in attacking their weak points
ana covering its own. No party ever
showed keener alarm at any proposition
Tor reform, or presented more solid and
audacious front against everything which
looked to wholesome legislation for the
legitimate interests Of the country. No
party in its decadence, enervated and cor.
rupted by too long possession Of power
ever more vigorously fought back new
issues and real questions, Or more enerret
ically or persistently brought back deba,,
to old and dead issues" And this is unde
niable. In oil the speeches mad

PlayinC Cards.

1t is difficult to determine precisely how
many packs of playing cards are manufactured
in the United States per annum. The govern
ment puts an internal revenue tax of five cents
per pack on all playing cards exposed for sale
whether they are of foreign or domestic manu-
facture, and regardless of price or value but
the stamps are purchased in all sorts of quanti-
ties, and there is no occasion for keeping the
precise records of manufactures and sales that
are necessary in the case of articles upon which
the internal revenue tax is levied directly
without the Intervention of stamps But the
number Of packs of playing cards sold in the
United States per annum is estimated at not
less than 100000, valued at about $500 OOO
A single firm here in Boston get rid of over
5000 packs per annum, their aggregate yearly
sales in this line amounting to about $1,000.
Formerly nearly all the playing cards used
IN this country were imported, and their man.
ufacture was quite an important little industry
in England. The British government encour-
ages it by remitting the internal revenue tax
on all cards destined for export. The ace Of
spades is known as the duty card" and is
furnished by the government; and pack
which has been relieved from the tax cannot
be used either in Great Britain or Ireland un-
der penalty of go.
But the importation of playing cards into the
United States has now dwindled into insignif-
cance, and American manufacturers are pro-
ducing "paSteboards' which are marvels of
cheapness, accuracy and beauty. The largest
manufacturer is located in New York, and his
imprint probably adorns more than half of all
the packs that are shuffied in the country in
the cor~se of the year. The other makers are
some half dozen in number, and located in
New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and other
cities.
Merry advanced and economical labor-saving
machinery is now emplo, cd in the manufac-
ture of cards, and the prices at which they are
produced and sold are marvelously low. Very
common packs are those known as the "steam-
boats" with plain star or calico backs and
which retail for 25 cents per pack. This grade
indicates better than any other, perhaps the
low point to which the manufacturers have re-
duced the cost of production. Its list price at
wholesale is but SIG per gross, and
its actual selling price at first hands
but $12, or 81 for adozen packs AS
the government gets 60 cents out of the
dollar as an internal revenue tax, the balance
to the manufacturer is but 40 cents, or 81 cents
per pack. These cheap cards, however are
only employed in the friendliest and most un-
important contests. They are usually those
which remain after the manufacturers have
sorted out the most accurately printed PASTE
boards. A large proportion of the cards made
are much higher-priced, some retailing at
dollar and half pack and upwards. The
"Great Moguls" with illuminated backs in
gold and fancy colors are billed by the manu-
facturers at sos per gross; and the Double
Eagle" convex corners, at S06 per gross

CAMPAIGN PRESS.
To the Rescue,

The aspersions of the military record of
Daniel F. Davis, which had their origin in
that blackguardly sheet the Maine STANDARD,
and have been eagerly copied by the Demo-
cratic press throughout the State, provoke
the profound Indignation of those who knew
him best. His old comrades in arms, the
men who stood by his side when he con-
fronted rebel bullets, are fastening to con-
denim the n alicious mendacity of his assail-
ants, and to bear testimony to his noble and
soldierly qualities. Yesterday we published
letters from some of the members of his reg
iment and company. To-day we publish
more. They effectually do away with the
gross charge made by the Standard and re-
peated by the papers in sympathy with it.
The spectacle that has been presented is
an edifying one and the voters of Maine will
profit by it. They have seen the hero of an
anti-draft riot impugning the record of a
Union soldier and sneering at him because
he contracted grave disease in the service
of his country, and was compelled
to seek the shelter of the hospital
They have seen other papers which
have been engaged for years in
ridiculing or r,arguing against the cause for
which our volunteers fought, taking up the
sneer and gleefully repeating it. And these
are the men, the manufacturers and retail
ers of SANDER, who come before the people
of this State, and ask to be entrusted with
its government. The voters of Maine will
never mark their approval of the authors of
malicious charges against our Union soldiers
by putting them into power. The charges
will recoil upon the heads of those who
made them, and he against whom they were
falsely preferred be placed in the highest of
flee in the gift Of the State.
If the Somerset Reporter should suggest
anything, it says, to make up and round out
the qualifications of Candidate Smith into a
perfect rotundity, it would recommend an
annex for the expansion of his memory. If
he had such a memory and was great and
good in proportion, he would never have
said in his letter of acceptance that the con-
traction policy caused the prostration of
business. The panic came when specie re-
sumption was the last thing thought Of
when the volume of paper money was as
great as it had been for six years. The
thing burst up; and although Secretary
Richardson poured into circulation 5,000,-
900 of greenbacks and the bank circulation
was increased $15,000,0O0, prices went
down, down, down. Wild speculation,
crazy investments, and financial kiting gen.
orally with borrowed money caused the
panic and the depression which followed.
Two years ago, before he got angry about a
little office, Candidate Smith would have
said as much.''

Our Candidate.

The result of the Convention is so satisfactory
to the Somerset Republicans that they do not
hesitate to express their pleasure. That man
should be selected outside of the rings"
man of the people and from the people, one
who has filled places of trust, and in a manner
satisfactory to all, is gratifying, and will help
greatly to swell the vote in September
The harmony which existed, in spite of the
crowd, is another indication of the earnestness
of the coming contest, and speaks volumes for
the success of the Republican party.
We have candidate against whom nothing
can be said except that he has never been
ring politician" has never forced himself up
ON the people, but has done his duty faithfully
wherever placed and so is more worthy OF our
cordial support. If the several counties in their
nominations make as judicious selections
the State will be redeemed in September and
good will result to all our people.
So say the Republicans Of Somerset County.
