Business Statement.

The New York Pablic, of yester-
day, contains a review of the business
OF the first balf-year Of 1880. 1t
seems that the aggregate of transac-
ton during that period are nearly
onc-half larger than they were for n
corresponding period last year.
Putting aside the transactions at
New York, which may be Indifferent
ly interpreted, the exchanges at all
the other clearinghouse show an
increase of nearly one-third in COM
parison with those of the correspond
ing months of last year. The fact
is, that the business of New York
has been exceptionally enlarged dur
ing the past year by the unprece-
dented increase of imports from
fo,eisn lands, by the circumstances
which have caused exit ordinary
shifts of grain by lake and canal -,
and by a remarkable extension of
terminal facilities. Hence not more
than 10 per cent. represents that in
crease of exchanges in New York
which is due to 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 dur
ing the half year, but it may be sup
posed that this is the cause of ex-
traordinary Improvement in crops,
since June LIST. Boston and Phila-
delphia have been doing worse, and
this may also be attributed to large
movement of grain toward New
York. San Francisco is the only
city which shows decline in bust
ness, and the Democrats who have
just abolished Kearney, seem to
know why. The increase at all 9TH
er cities has been greater than the
increase in the average prices since
the first half of 1879. People have
sold enormously, especially of ex-
portable products, but people have
bought enormously. especially OF
products of American factories, OF
the proportion of increase at the
manufacturing cities would not have
been as large as it is. The transac-
tons for the half year, in short, show
very encouraging increase and re-
markable activity of business, and
exchanges for the month of June
cast but little shadow over the pic
ture. The movement during the
last month has been relatively small.
Ter them for the half year, and yet il
has been SO large, the decline in
prices considered, as to justify mos,
encouraging anticipations for the
future.

The plank in the Republican
platform in which the people Of the
Pacific coast are more interested
than all others, is that relating to
Chinese immigration. Here it is:
We welcome to the benefits and privi-
leges Of our free institutions all those who
seek their enjoyment. and are willing to
assume the obligations, while they partic-
ipate in the benefits of American citizen
ship; the influx to our shores of boards
of people, who are unwilling to perform
the duties of the citizen or to recognize
the binding force of our laws and customs,
Is not to he encouraged, ard believing
that respectful attention should be paid
the evils complained .. by our brethren
on the Pacific Coast, we urge the renewed
attention of Congress to this important
question, and suggest such a change of
our treaty obligations as will remedy
these evils.
If this language means anything
at all, it is that Cinnamon be al
mitted to full citizenship and thus
allowed unrestricted opportunity for
competing with and demoralizing
free American labor. eve well
come to the benefits and privileges
OF our free institutions, all who seek
their enjoyment" and we suggest
Il change of our treaty obligations"
to facilitate this change" Can any
other construction be placed upon
the language? If SO, we would be
pleased to know it.
