THE New Orleans Democrat calls attention
to the fact thai Asia is a terrible consumer of
silver. Every year millions of dollars find
their way to the East, never to return TO the
civilized world. This Eastern demand for sill
yer seems to be on the increase, as S46,OoU,OOO
was thus swallowed up this year, as against
$4,000, 600 in 1873. What becomes of this bull
lion is more than the greatest political ecOno.
mist can tell.
THE New Orleans Democrat is authority for
the statement that in 1851 two-thirds of the
tonnage entering American ports was OF
American vessels, while last year IL amounted
TO less than one-fourth. We have actually
only 90 per cent. as many vessels a. we had
two decades ago, although the country has al
most doubled I'm population. such is the fruit
of Radical rule, and its so-caled protection of
American ship builders.

plies, which are difficult to obtain, and actu-

yards OF cloth at an advance of 70 per cent. on
the original price,

Gould, the great Wall street gambler, must be
suffering from softening of the. brain. 1t is
claimed that he is actually engaged in organ
izing a telegraph company In opposition TO
the Western Union, that is not intended for
Matchmaking purposes, but to give the people
cheap biography. If his is a fact, we may ex
pect ere long to hear of Jay Gould's incarcera-
ton i'm an asylum for l~unatics, and shortly
after, his demise. Jay Gould a public benefac-

GENERAL JACKSON truly and fOrcibly said:
''Nor is our Government TO be maintained or
our Union preserved by invasions of the rights
and powers of the several States. In thus at
tempting to make our general Government
strong, We make il weak. It's true strength
consists in leaving individuals and States as
much as possible TO themselves; in making
itself felt, not in its power, but in its bene-
~hcence; not In its control, but in its protec-
ton; not in binding the states more closely TO
it's center, but leaving each to move unob-
structed in its proper orbit
THE Peoria Democrat says: Judge Batch
ford, of New York, did an act that is 20 be
commended, though no more than his bonn
den duty to do He refused to sit in judg-
ment on a case I'm which the Illinois Central
Railroad company was a party, because he
was the owner OF stock in that road. This II

OF Maine, who were swift TO decide a case on

politial party was a sutton. A statement of
these cases and their circumstances is alone

The BrookviIle Qnd.) Valley SentineI says:
Hon. W. Fl. English is looming up all over the
country as the man who can heal all of the
dissensions existing between the Democracy
of the East and West, and also receive the cor
dial support of the South. II we had had such
a man as English at the head of the Democracy
in 1876, we would not now have a fraud occu-
plying the presidential chair. He would have
had the backbone to stand up for his and the
rights of the people who elected him, and to
take the place which of right belonged 10 him.
If the Democracy is wise IL will nominate a
ticket with English at the head, and a good
man like Potter or Garcelon for second place.
With a ticket like that they will be beyond
the reach of all returning boards.
THE New Orleans Times says: When 1t is
recollected that there are now in session some
