IT is impossible to resist the SuppOsi-
tiOn that the victims of the inilatiOnist
craze wilfully shut their eyes and STOP
their ears to all the facts when they
prate of the ''languishing business of the
nation" and demand limitless expan.
sion of the currency as the sole panacea
for condition of things which they
falsely pretend does exist. Certainly, if
they would read the newspapers, or even
ask for information from the tradesmen
and manufacturers around them, they
could not have the brazen impudence to
stand up in Congress or conventions
and talk as the do. Any well-infOrmed
man knows that the material interests
of the country are steadily reviving, and
that they have recently taken an up.
ward turn more decidedly marked than
was expected even by those who had
faith that there would he a sure but
slow revival under the influences of
specie resumption. We have heretofore
pointed out the large increase of eX-
changes through the clearing houses,
than which there can be no more posi-
tive indication of the activity of bust.
ness, and this increase has continued
throughout the month of June as COM
pared with the same period of 1878
Trade for the past two weeks has been
larger at the distributing points for this
season of the year. There has been a
decided advance in certain raw materi-
ais, and wholesale dealers have eagerly
relieved manufacturers of their surplus
stock. The latest advices from the iron
trade are encouraging. AS a rule, the
rail mills and other factories
where iron is the base of production
have all that they can attend to, with
orders ahead. The exports of grain are
heavy beyond precedent, the totals for
the past eight weeks being some four
millions more than for the corresponding
period of last season. The crop pros
pects-cotton, corn, wheat, &c.-are
known to be excellent. In the face of
solid testimony that comes from the
financial and commercial centres, as well
as from the factory, the mill and the
field, there is childish obstnacy in the
silly wall of the rag-baby factions that
things are going to the dogs They
know better-Or they could know better
if they chose-but their perversity passes
all the bounds of reason. StOlidly we'd
ded to fanaticism, they are like the old
woman of whom Tom Hood said she was
$50 very deaf
She might have worn a percussion cap
And been knocked on the head without
hearing it snap"

THE Democracy make much ado about
"old jim Steedman," as "the boys" used
to call him. Will the Gazette or some
other of his admirers tell us why they
call him "Chickamauga Steedman ?"
What did he do at that battle-Or any
other for that matter-to give him any
enviable notoriety? We well remember
him as a Post COmmandant at Chatta-

earned, he got his reputation, any one
might well pray to be delivered from a
like inheritance. But, let us hear about
