MERIG1 IN THE EAST

A little paragraph in THE TRIBUNE's Gen
"eral Notes " of Friday last announced that a
Schenectady firm was shipping brush and
broom making machines to the Holy Land
where American colOnists. at the foot of Mt.
Carmel-doubtless near by the Brook of Kishon
and the Cave of the Prophet Elijah-were
Using them to advantage. short time ago
the cable announced that an American now
ing machine had taken first prize in a trial
on the fields of Bulgaria. simultaneously
from Australia came the announcement
that an American watch had been
awarded the highest premium at the
fair in Melbourne. Europe and the East
does its weighing on American-madc scales.
A correspondent in Paris gave lately an ac-
count of the introduction of American eleva-
tors in hotels there. American hotel palace
cars have been introduced in England in spite
of English prejudice, and will soon overcome
the opposition to their introduction in France
which the parsimony Of French corporations
maintains. Our breadstuffs are sold in every
market Of the hemisphere ; and special fleets
of steamers convey live American beef to En-
plish markets. Every variety of canned goods
finds favor there. These are only few

H4LF-COCK.

Some rreverent persons are applying to the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency the
sobriquet of General IIalfcOck" on account OF
his maIadrot telegram to Nj. Plaisted the day
after the Maine election. The poor man was
not enough of seasoned veteran in politics to
wait for a good aim; he went off at half
cock, on the first false Democratic
dispatches The General now seems to
be partially aroused to the impIudence
Of his behavior, for his later telegram to The
81. Louis Post Dispatch is more cautious. The
Grcenbackers complain of HancOck's impuience
in claiming the result in Maine as a Democratic
victory, when the candidate and five-seyen'hs
of The voters, and the two Congressman who
represent the only fruits of the so-called "yic-
story" were straight Out-and-out inflationsts
and regulators. and the platform was one OF
the boldest declarations of the GIecnback
theories ever adopted in a State Convention.
The Democrats made no platform and named
no candidates, but simply enrolled themselves
under the standard of the baby, cOntrbut-
ing only little more than 10000 votes to the
Joint muster of 10000. Here is the formal
statement of the issue of the Maine campaign:
Rsolrod That ali currency. whether metallic paper
necessary for the and convenience Of the people,
should be issued and its volume controlled by the Gov
ernment and not BIZ or through he banking corporations
of The country, and when issued should be fKH
legal tender in payment of all debts. p6iic and Iri
rate.
Resolred That that portion Of the Understanding
debt OF the United States which shall become redeem
able In the year 1881 prior thereto being In amount
1882 600 should be refunded beyond the power

them at any time but should be paid rapidly posi-
BILE and according contract. To enable the Govern
ent 10 meet these obligations me 7fnts OF The United
Sta les should be operotcd TO their fuH capacity IN The COIN
age slrcr dollars and such other coinage
as the interests of the country may require
And when General Hancock thought the party
making these outrageous professions had been
successful he sent their candidate the following
dispatch
GOVERNORS ISLAND. y. Y. Sept II, 1850.
To The Hon. HARRIS NJ PLAIsTED. Bangor Ne.
Accept my congratulations the glorious result OF
your campaign. II will inspire friends with conh
dence and strengthen them In the preliminary battles
which be fought elsewhere and hic need all
Of our forces. W. s. HANCOCK.
General Hancock may be fairly supposed to
know what the contest was about in Maine.
His political experience is limited, but he can
not be absolutely ignorant of public affairs
and If he SAID he considered the election of
Ladd and Murch to Congress and the ratifica-
ton Of the platform we lave cited "a glorious
"resul;," it was probably because he thought so.

THE SHEEP AND WOOL CONTENTION.

Commissioner lie Due, as our readers know,
has issued call to all persons In the country
concerned in strengthening, wool -grOwing
or Mountaineering to attend the Inter-
national Exhibition of Sheep, Wool and Wool
Products, which is to be held in Philadelphia
during this month. This exhibition will be
given in the main building on the Centennial
grounds during the progress of the Pennsyl-
yania State Fair, and is one of the most wise
and practical movements made by our agri-
culturlsts and manufacturers for many
years. Even the sheep-growers and wOol-man-
ufacturers themselves have an inadequate
knowledge of the extent to which their busi-
ness has developed since the close of the
war throughout the country, and the general
public has no conception of it. Every trade
and profession is benefited by "taking stock
now and then, as we may call it, of its con-
dition as whole by comparing individual
experiences, and most of all by bringing an
abstract of its aims, resources and sue
cesses before the public market.
The account of the condition of the wool
manufacturing industry in this country which
we published some time ago, and of its rapid
growth in prosperity, doubtless surprised most
of our readers. No industry among us, prob
ably, has made more steady advance in the
quality of its work than this. Twenty years
ago no wise householder would buy American
dress goods, cloths OF carpets. Now, if he is
wise, he buys them avowedly as American
make, at first cost for the chances are that
he will buy the same goods, at any rate at an
additional price, as French, Scotch or Eng
lish. In the durability of his goods the Amer
lean Northumberland is now usually able
to core with his French or Scotch rival. Bat
there are certain secrets of cOloring and soft
ness Of texture which he has yet to learn
The same remark is true of our silk manu-
facturers. 1t is proposed to invite foreign
competition TO this exhibition. The lesson
will bs q useful one, we hope, to our makers
of mcrinos and cheviots. International exhi-
billions have q twO-edged value they are as
useful in teaching us what we cannot do as
in showing other nations what we can.
1t Is the purpose of Mr.. lie Due and his
colleagues in this convention to introduce to
the notice of the mass Of American sheep
breeders the finer breeds of sheep, b. of
those profitable for tho market and for wool
There Is absolutely no reason why the mar
ket In New-York and Philadelphia should not
be supplied with as good home grown mutton

cay is unprecedented III movement and vol
ume, il is because home industries have been
protected, the National obligations largely re-
duced and funded at lower rates, the legal
tenders brought to a level with gold
the National banks established, and the
finances wisely and economically administered.
This has been the work of the Republican
party. Every one of these tendencies and
achievements has been resisted and fought
inch by inch by Democrats in and out of Con-
gress Every business man knows that if the
Administration remains Republican all the con-
ditions of financial stability and commercial
prosperity Will be unchanged. Every bust
ness man knows, also, that polit-
ical revolution which will bring into power
the Democratic party will be disastrous to the
mercantile interests of the country. Every
business man knows that an Administration
and Congress that will unite in breaking
down the tariff, cheapening the currency,
making war on the banks, draining the rev.
enues and regulating the National debt will
bring the country to the verge of ruin.
The record of the party has been made
hand over hand, and business men know
precisely what they will have to dread if a
Democratic President be elected. These are
busy days. but the busiest citizen should
find time to take an active interest in politics.

Children. 1t seems. are imported directly
from Italy and sent into the streets of New

are blind, lame and deformed children. One
enterprising manager has sent several beggars

Incidents illustrate the folly of indiscriminate
charity.
