THAT the business and commercial
prosperity of the country can more safe
ly he intrusted to the Republican than
the Democratic party is a powerful ar
gument in this campaign. 1t is not ad-
vanced solely by the Republican orators
and writers. If it had been uttered by
none but them, it would be fairly open
to dispute. But it becomes automatic
when we find it laid down by journals
that do not deal in politics at all, and
that are simply the representatives Of
various departments of business. The
New York organ of the dry goods trade
recently announced that it would sup
port Garfield and Arthur because "they
were pledged to sustain the policy which
has secured the present development of
American industry" and that it opposed
Hancock and English for the reason
that they represented the party that
might, by single congressional
enactment, injure, enfeeble or de-
stroy our present prosperity" No
body will accuse Mr.. Grosvenor, the
editor of the New York Public, of any
especial affection for the Republican
party during the past eight years; but
Mr.. Grosvenor has also been logically
compelled to say that the election of
Hancock would probably do harm to the
greatest business enterprises. The point
upon which all this discussion hinges is
that any Republican administration will
maintain specie payments, and that no
such confidence can be placed in Demo-
cratic rule. The Bullion presses the idea
in saying that "Gen. Garfield, in his let
ter of acceptance, by simply standing
upon his finanaial record, made the most
positive and definite declaration as to
what his policy would be, for his record
is public and unbroken for fifteen years
and it Is synonymous with Republican
administration" The fact is that the
Democratic capitalist, financier, or ira
der cannot afford to run the risks OF
Democratic power in Congress and al
the White House.-Balt. American.

ing brows, and deep, cavernous eyes,
from which now a black flame is fash
ing. 1t is Granger. He points with his
sword TO the men on the hill, and cries,
Where Will you place u.s." Thomas
stretches his hand toward the three
hundred-feet gap, in the direction of
which Longstreet is coming, and simply
says, THERE Back, up the bullet
swept hill, Granger gallops, and in a mo-
ment his thirty-seven hundred men, led
on by Steadman, are rushing down to
the break i'll the lines, like bristling
avalanche. They are not moment too
soon, for LOngStreet'S heavy column is
ut the breach, and-now comes the col
liSiOn. II is like two immense railway
trains meeting in full career-the for
ward columns shivering to atoms, and
going down as they came together
Steadman's horse is shot on the full gall
lop, and his rider is hurled fifteen feet
forward by the momentum but, turning
Il complete somerset, he lights on his
feet, and waves his sword for his men
to come on as if nothing had happened.
For forty minues the onset lasted, and
then a CHASTITY breastwork of three thou
sand mingled blue coats and gray fills
the narrow gap, and the Army of the
Cumberland is saved from destruction.
And this is the result of Garfeld's zig
gag ride over the bullet-swept cotton
field. 1t gave Thomas the information
which saved the army.
Now, beaten and baffled, Longstreet
withdrawS his reeling columns, but along
the rest of the line the conflict still
RACES. At its close, bleeding and dying
and dead, twenty thousand men lie
about that smoking horseshoe; but then
the COnfederates ale in full retreat, and
Garfield, shotting battery of Napoleon
guns, gives them parting salutation.
Begrimed with smoke and powder,
Garfield had been everywhere during
the battle, animating and encouraging
the men; but toward the close of the
fight, sheltered by a dead tree, he sat
down on the ground and indited dis
patch to ROsecranS, detailing the situa-
ton. AS he sat there, during the heaVi-
est OF the firing, white dove, after
lowering above his head for few mo
ments, settled on the tOpmost branch of
the tree which sheltered him. 1t re-
manned there in all the leaden storm,
nor flew away till he had finished his
writing. ut is an omen of peace" said
Gen. Wood, who stood beside him. Gar
field said nothing, but went on with his
dispatch. Then the dove flew away to
the North. Garfield went again into the
battle, and the flash of his Napolean
guns was the last light that shone upon
the bloody field of Chickamauga. Ineed
not tell the rest, for it is already history.

This was the order for the Northern
wing of this motley cohort of emaeiated
rag and tatters Democrats. A similar
order was quietly transmitted through
the Southern ranks of then party which
enjoined great care that the praise of the
war record of the candidate be moi
spread before the Southern people.
The Democratic party was deaf when
the first call to arms was made to save
the Union. 1t was deaf when the Sec
Ond second call was made, it was deaf
when every call was made. 1t was deaf
to-day to the pleadings Of liberty, equal
ity, and fraternity. 1t is deaf to every
adjuratiOn that seeks the National veal.
1t is still the foe of the cause it OPP
posed with the sword, the pesti-
lence, and the dirk. Deaf thus, silent
thus, it "organizes in support of Han
cock" it organizes for spoils; it organi-
yes to foist the rebel debt and rebel
claims on the loyal people of the North
it organizes to perpetuate the methods
of the Solid South in National affairs
it organizes in lsague with political evil,
and plots with unrepentant traitors for
the blood af the Nation.
No; it is no news that these deaf
mutes are organizing in support of Han
cock"

THE papers that assert that Garfield
ever drew his back pay under the salary
grab law are guilty of hearing false wit
ness. He never idrew it, or handled it,
but at the proper time covered the
amount accredited to him under the law
into the Treasury. He voted against the
measure in all its phases, and opposed its
passage, and only when it was tackled on
to an appropriation bill, the defeat of
which would have involved an extra
session of Congress, did he, us Il member
of the conference committee, assent to
its passage. But he never profted by
it, and never intended to. He took
counsel of his friends, and all advised
him to the course he finally adopted, be-
lieving an extra session would involve
a larger expense TO the country than the
total of the extra pay. 1t is useless to
twist the facts concerning the salary
grab to make it appear that Garfield took
any part in forcing it through Congress.
His record on that subject is clear and
satisfactory.-[Cin. Com.

EASTERN wool adyices do not im-
prove as the wool-growing interest could
wish-indeed, the feeling seems to be as
much depressed in the great wholesale
centers as at any time for several weeks.
Prices in Boston and New York are not
as high as the popular figure demanded
on the farm. Still the game is not yet
played to the end, and our opinion as to
the outcome is unchanged. AS the 40
cent wool gives out, as it eventually
must unless some 50-cent wool men
give out first, a close struggle must en-
sue; but as the manufacturers get out
of something to operate with, buyers
must in some way get at the remaining
clip. There is but one way to do this.
There must at least be concessions by
the party that wants the wool, which
will be met probably but not necessarily
by concessions from the party holding it.

THE New York Tribune says that
John Kelly held out an olive branch,
and the Tildenites kicked it. Now he
holds out shillalah, and they don't
know whether to kick it or run away.
The fact is that the two factions of the
Democratic party in New York are in
bad shape, notwithstanding the preten-
ded reconciliation at Cincinnati. John
Kelly seems to have been anxious to
"fx up" things in that State, but he has
been "snubbed" at every turn by Tilden
and his faction. 1t is also well under
stood that Gen. Hancock is enterely in
sympathy with, and under the control of
the I,ilden crowd, and that JOHN Kelly
and his friends are completely ignored.

4 Mammoth Apple TrC

Hartford Conn Courant
On lot in Main street is an apple
tree of unusual size, the trunk measur-
ing near the ground ten feet and four
inches in circumference. Three of its
branches measure, near the parent trunk,
four feet in circumference, and extend
in length about forty feet. The circum-
ference of the top is nearly two hun
dred feet. Quite number of its branch
es have broken off by reason of their
great length, age, and weight. Previous
to these losses the tree produced seven
different varieties of apples, by different
graftings, beside the natural fruit, max
ing eight varieties in all The trunk OF
the tree appears to be perfectly sound,
and the tree is in full bearing.

Tree Planting.

Tribune.
Farmers living in the treelcss dis
tricts of western Minnesota must
plant out trees. They must come to
it. They cannot depend on railroads
for fuel, because the roads have not
now, nor never will have facilities for
furnishing to them; and if they had,
timber can be raised cheaper than it
cav, under such circumstance, be pur-
chased. The wall that comes from
out on the Hastings & Dakota rail-
road, in regard to scarcity Of fuel at
this time, shows very plainly the ne
cessity of planting out trees just as
soon as the grcunl thaws out next
spring. tits justas easy to raise forty
or eighty acres o: timber us it is to
raise SO mach corn. All that is re-
auircd is to plant the forest ON mel
low ground that has ha | deep blowing.
md the soil thoroughly pu.veiizcd;
then, after planting, cultivate the
same us corn, and continue to do SO
for three or four seasons; also Danish
al the weeds, grass or vines from the
trees, and there is no danger but that
they will grow. In u very few years
any farmer can have all the fuel, and
for that matter all the timber, he will
want on the farm. This is the only
safe way for our friends to pursue.
They Will be astonished ut the rapid.

advisedly on his matter, bccau e We

IMPROVING the Stock Cbcaply.

Many farmers suppose that because
they cannot buy Il herd or flock that
thereafter they must be content with
growing scrub stock. o. this subject
The Live Stock Journal itera,es what
we have frequently urged, i'll the fol
lowing: 1t doesn't require section
of land, nor big bank account, to
make a b ginning. You need no, go
to England, nor even to 4 sister State,
t. get the ''blood'' VIII CHI is sure to
''tell." Good, reliable breeders of
Short-horns, HcrefordS, II lstcius,
Jerseys, etc, are scattered u through
the states, and will supply ut reason
able cost, a young bull or Il few cows,
or whatever may be desired. a pure
blooded bull calf can be bought all
the way from $50 upwards, and bred
to native cows, will give half-blooded
animals which, when grown, will sell
readily at hih figures, when the
"scrubS" are not wanted ut any price.
II any farmer says he ha mt $50 to
spare, let HIM join his neighbor, and
own the animal in common. From
this point of view the stcan't afford it,
Plea disappears, for if necessary a
pool o. IS each can be formed. In
just that way the breeders OF Madison,
Clinton and other counties IN Ohio,
in ca " davs formed the. r. associations
for importing Short-horns from Eng
land, and the great results accom-
plished point the way for the com
mon farmers of to-day.
