The Hon. James P. Root was
solemnly pacing off and seriously CON
templating the pavement of State
street, on yesterday afternoon, when a
fragment of the Times Office OBJ
structed his way and asked why his
voice had not been heard praising the
republican candidate in public places.
THE 'hollering time has not yet
arrived" answered he. I'll be more
or less ready when it comes"
Going to make any speeches?"
well" said Mr.. Root, "I'm saving
up slips from the Times, and when !
get enough to make a speech, I'm 60
ing into the woods to learn it."
did you ever hear of a speech
changing any votes?"
20, yes; when a mans a candidate
for being convinced a speech is liable
to convince him"
but, generally, are campaign
speeches any good?"
They're good to get the fellers
out ard warm EN- up anyway"
Don't you think a good many o.
them are thrown away?"
"That depends on who make then
and what they are made of. If mos
OF the orators would just take cuttings
from the newspapers to make a hal
hours talk, and then commit them t
memory, we'd have some good speech
es-with brains in 'em. All that
necessary would be for a man, il

and not get pieces that contradicr

PROSPERITY.
The Business of the Country for
the Past Six Months.

The New York Public Of July 9,
prints the following review Of the
half years business:
THE business of the first half year
Of 1850 was nearly one-half larger than
that Of the first halfo of 1879. Putting
aside the transactions at New York,
which maybe differently interpreted,
the exchanges at all the other clear
ing houses show an increase of nearly
One-third in comparison with those
Of the corresponding months
last year. The fact is, the business
Of New York has been exceptionally
enlarged during the past year by the
unprecedented increase of imports
from foreign lands by circumstances
which have caused an extraordinary
shipment Of grain by lake and canal,
and by a remarkable extension of ter
minal facilities here; hence not more
than 10 per cent represents the in
crease Of exchange at New York,
which is due to the greater activity
in stock speculation, while nearly 40
per cent represents the increase at
New York due to other causes.
st. Louis and Chicago have been
doing better during the month than
during the half year, but it may be
supposed hat this is because of the
extraordinary movements of the crops
since June. Boston and Philadelphia
have been doing worse, and this may
also be attributed to a larger move
ment Of grain toward New York. San
Francisco is the only city which shows
a decline in business. The increase
at all other cities has been greater
than the increase in average prices
since the first half Of 1879, and this
indicates, as all accessible trade sta
tistics do, that the movement Of pro-
ducts by quantities has been of unsur-
passed magnitude during the six
months ending June 30.
People have sold enormously, es-
pecially of exportable products Of
American factories, or the proportion
Of increase at manufacturing cities
would not have been so large as it is.
The transactions for the half year
in short, show a very encouraging in
crerse and a remarkable activity Of
business, and the exchanges for the
month of June cast but little shadow
over the picture. The movement
during the last month has been rela.
lively smaller than for the halt year
and yet it has been so large, the de.
cline in prices considered, as to justify
the most encouraging anticipatiOns fol
the future.

PennsylvanIa's Debt to Hancock

phia; John Fulton Reynolds, of Ian

The Legislative Electoral Dodge
Proposed by Dishonest Re-
publican Leaders an
ImpOssibiIiiy.
ON. CON. 1nterrieM via Frank H.l

Gin. Com. Interview with Frank H.
II have seer the proposition in
several papers hat the republican
legislatures in the states where there
are republican governors might be
convened to choose electors. This
could have been done before the
adoption of the Fourteenth amend
ment; but those who maintain this
proposition now have strangely over
looked the provisions of that article.
The second section evidently requires
that the presidential electors shall be
chosen at an election at which all
male citizens, being twenty-one years
of age and citizens Of the United
States, aud not disqualified for par
ticipation in rebellion or other cause,
should have the opportunity Of voting.
If the right to vote at such election
be denied to any of the said citizens
described in that section, the penalty
is the reduction Of the basis Of repre-
sentation in the proportion which the
number of said male citizens shall
bear to the whole number Of male cit
liens twenty.one years Of age in such
state; in other words, if half of the
male citizens twenty-one years of age
are denied the right to vote for presi-
dental electors by the legislature Of a
state the representation Of that state
in the electoral college will be dimin-
ished one-half. If the legislature
chooses the electors itself, the right
to vote for presidential electors is
thereby denied to every male citizen
twenty-one years Of age. Consequently
the state will deprive itself of all rep
resentation in the electoral college,
If the republican governors and legis-
1atures should thus attempt to dis
franchise the people Of the states
they will do so with their eyes open Il
the result, which will inevitably b.
the loss by their state Of their cleo
toral vote in the coming presidential
election.
II have no doubt that the senat,
and house of representatives will re
fuse to count the votes of any cleo
tors who have been chosen by tn
legislature of the state. The result
will, therefore, be an easy victory 70
the democratic party, a victory whic
will be the more distasteful to tn
republicans because of their resort I
unconstitutional methods to preyer
it."
He said. Remember, l do not 50
that the legislatures Of the stat
have not power by law 10 provide fC
the election of electors by congrel
sional districts, but New York is II

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
An Independent Judgment that
sit is an Honest Document"
MY. Herald, Ind.l

N. Y. Herald, Ind.l
Whatever may be said against the
democratic platform, it cannot be
denied that it is an honest and bust
ness-like document, and in this re-
spect it is very unlike the Dragging
and clustering republican platform.
There are, undoubtedly, a great many
voters to whom the democratic pro-
positions will be unwelcome; voters
who do not like free ships; voters who
are opposed to a tariff for revenue;
voters who want more subsidies, and
who will, therefore. dislike the demo.
cratic declaration that the taxes shall
be spent only for public and not for
private objects. But it is the great
merit Of the democratic platform that
it says something; that it proposes re-
forms to which those who have bene-
flied by old abuses will of course OBJ
iect, but which will relieve and bene-
fit the people; that it courageously
strikes at monopolists, subsidy mong-
ers and jobbers. Naturally monopo-
lists, iobbers and subsidy mongers do
not like it; but then it was scarcely to
be expected that they would. These
classes, who wish to live on the tax
payers; as they have long done, prefer
the republican platform, and they are
right. That platform has nothing in
it distasteful to them. Where the
republican leaders did not think it
prudent to encourage monopoly, they
cautiously said nothing, aud their
platform leaves the door open to all
the abuses, the extravaganza and reck-
less waste OF the taxes which char
acterized republican legislation be.
fore the people put the democrats in
| control ofthe house Representatives
Finally, it must be admitted that
there is a little brag also in the dem.
ocratic platform. but it is on a point
where The party has a right to boast
of itself. 1t has reduced the public
expenditures $40, 1000, 900 a year" say
the democrats, and they might have
added that it did this against the
sneers and open and covert opposi.
ton of the republicans in congress
This democratic boast is we'll founded
They had the courage to be unfash'
ionable. From the day they regained
control Of the house of representatives
they have fought for rigid economy
sometimes with poor judgment, but
c%Ourageously and regardless Of the
outcries and resistance Of
the republicans. The lobby
has disappeared from Washington
since the democrats came in !" that
lobby which was once so powerful.
that in the last house which was un.
der republican rule the speaker was
publicly presented with a piece o.
silver as a testimonial from the king
Of the lobby"
1t was said by one ofthe shrewdest
men in the democratic party some
years ago. 81 don't believe we dem
ocrats will ever win until we dare tC
be democrats" Well, the platform
this year is a genuinely democratic
platform the party seems at last tC
have turned democratic. 1t has re-
gained its old time boldness and di
rectness it dares once more to say
what it means. Who knows2 perhaps
it will win. 1t looks a little that way
just now.
