PENNsYIvAN1A,s POSITION.


of Hor People and tho Idol OF
her Soldiers.
II. Milton Speer, says to a New York
Herald reporter: Hancock, first. carries,
not the solid South, but every Southern
state, New York, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Indiana and California, with Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois and Oregon, to say the very
least, debatable. But with the tide run
ming as it now is debate as to
Pennsylvania will soon end: Her
people have great state pride. Her SOL
diers, as we'll as the soldiers OF the Union,
love the very name of Hancock. The Re
publicans of Pennsylvania could have but
two issues-first, the bloody shirt. and
second, the tariff. The first issue is elm
mated from the canvass by the nomination
Of Hancock. He wore the bloody shirt
when it cost ones life to wear it, and it
cannot be used now by men who
never heard the roar of cannon or
saw the flash of powder. As to the
second, General Garfield has declared re-
peatediy that he is for protection for the
purpose of securing free trade, and so dis
tinguished have been his services in public
life for free trade that he has received the
unusual honor, for an American, of being
elected member of the Golden free trade
club, of England. Hence Hancock is ag
gressively strong in Pennsylvania with the
soldiers and in his appeal to our state
pride. He knew when to fight and fought

publicans of Pennsylvania were for Grant
The independent Republicans were fo
Blaine. Prior to his nomination there were
not dozen Republicans in Pennsylvani;
wbo ever dreamed Of Garfield becoming
their candidate. Party drill may ant

to Garfeld's support. But predict tha
in this contest the Republicans will los
every doubtful legislative and congressional
district in the state. Hancock is TIN
pride of our people and the idol of ou
soldiers. He is stronger than the party
and with the many declarations of promi
nent Republicans of their earnest and ell
thusiastic support 1 cannot and do MOI
doubt that the electoral vote of Pennsylva
MIA will be cast for him by decided ma

A Dead Hero.

The colored man who was drowned at
Atlantic City, on the morning of the 18th
instant, while endeavOring to rescue the
boy Joseph Wyndoop, of 1926 Columbia
avenue, Philadelphia, from drowning, has
been identified as George White, and by
papers upon him it appears that he is from
Washington, D. c., and was at one time
servant to Mr.. E. p. Gleason, of 1882 @
street, N. w., from whom he had a rec
ommendation giving him an excellent
character. He was in this city in search
of employment. His funeral took place to-
day.

THURMAN TO THE FRONT.

He COunsels the Democratic Editors OF Ohio
tOGet to Work.
At a meeting of the editors of the Demo-
cratic weekly papers at Columbus, yester-
day afternoon, Senator Thurman spoke at
great length Of the bright prospects, all OF
which fOrshadowed brilliant victory for
the Democracy this fall. In referring to
the nominations made at Cincinnati, he
said: "The ticket is strong one, and
will he elected" He regarded General
Hancock as not only an able military chief
tain, but man who had shown, by
orders and letters, that he was a states
man as well. lie was we'll entitled to be
called the hero statesman, and he would
give the country an administration that
would stand out in the history Of the
country as one of the sOundest
and most brilliant in all its
annals. The senator said the Democrats
should work during the campaign, not for
the purpose of reducing the Republican ma
jority merely. but with 4 view of carrying
the state. He believed it could be car
ried, and was not in favor of giving up the
battle before it was begun. 1t had been
carried by the Democrats more times
than by Republicans. He said General
Garfield had shown by his election to
the Senate and his nomination at Chi
cagO that he was popular with the
politicians, but that lie was popular
with the people, the speaker did not
believe. Hancock, he said, was popular
with the people everywhere, and would
give prestige to the Democratic campaign
in this state. The senator was especially
earnest in deprecating the consequences OF
sweeping Republican majorities in Ohio.
He said Republican victory in Ohio and
Indiana would mean, perhaps, the loss Of
New York to the Democracy. He, there
fore, urged the utmost effort on the part
of the editors, remarking that the press
was more powerful than the stump in the
campaign.

Last night some joker changed the signs

base their claim that he is statesman.
We do not see that this is a point of the
least importance. He signed it at all
events.

The Burial of Miss Dtller,


The body of Miss Elizabeth Lydia Diller
eldest daughter of the Rev. DR.. ]. W. Dill
ler, who died from injuries received at the
burning of the Seawanllaka, was buried
yesterday afternoon from st. Luke's Epis-
copal church, in Brooklyn, Of which
her father, who perished upon the burn
ing boat, was for over thirty years pastor.
Miss Diller was 40 years old and for nl.Iny
years was her fathers constant ccmpan-
ion. She gave up everything to devote
herself to her father. She assisted him in
his correspondence and pastoral duties.
Many years ago her mother became ill and
feeble, and Miss Diller assumed the charge
of the family. Her selfsacrifice for her
fathers sake was known in St. Luke's par
ish before her heroic conduct in her efforts
to save him at the time of the disaster.
The church yesterday afternoon was filled
with friends of the dead lady. Tho ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. Geo. r.
Van De Water, rector of st. Luke's
church, and by the Rev. Dr. S. C. Thrall,
of St. Paurs Protestant Episcopal church,
Baltimore. After the usual services, the
body was removed to Mount Olivet ceme-
terry and inferred beside the remains of her
father.

On the 10th ult.: Mr., Frost introduced
into the House of Representatives, reso.
luton calling on the Secretary Of State
for information as to whether any official
notification Or circular letter was adopted
by the department to foreign powers or
American Ministers, Consuls or Consular
agents, for presentation to foreign Gov
ernments upon the occasion of the recent
visit Of General U. S. Grant, or immedi-
lately prior thereto, in relation to
such visit, and If 80, the nature and char
actcrof such notification, and Ill cores
pondenee Herewith connected.
IL is more than suspected that revela-
tons called out by this resolution will be
rather flnmiliating TO our National pride,
inasnuch rs it will be made manifest that
those ilattering ovations and roval rcceD
siols that We're 30 profusely accorded To-
tile Ex-President were the results Of 4
programme issued from the State Depart
ment to United States officers abroad
that they were not only commanded to do
their utmost individually to make the Jour
neN grand but were required III their official
capacity to influence the respective
governments to whom they we're accreditz
ed, TO give the Generals visitall the pomp
and grandeur Of i royal progress. If the
gIamor of spontancity should be taken
from tlesc ovations and it be made 10 ap-
pear that they We're theres.llt Of diplomat
y egotiations or official influences, it will
be ratlaefsoE a wet blanket upon our Ma
tional pride. for every American took untol
some small share of the honors
Conferred by crowned heads t1pon the
great American General, and the G.. A. G.,
4 his modest way, that ii honoring him
hese foreign powers and potcntates were
'nly indirectly doing honor to Ills coun-
fymei1. There il nothing mean about

OUR B.iL4i.NCE CT fP44DE.


At.tllis time last year sssld al
into this country at tha rate of from
$4,000, 900 to 5,000,c00 per e1atfl, andan
aggregate Of between 5alg0, 1000 and
$80,000,000 in coin was received during
the year IN adjustment Of the large foreign
balance due us for our exports to other
countries. For the fiscal year, 1879, the
excess Of our exports Of merchandise over
imports WAS some $275, 200. For the
nine months Of the present fiscal year.
that II from July to April, or exports
have been $500, ,000, 900 and our imports
$3.50, ,O00, 900, leaving the trade balancc in
our favor 4 LA 1000, ,000g ora heavy falling
ofisin that of the preceding years. OF late,
the increase in our importation of articles
ofl,rxury from abroad isgsuch that tic week
before last'in New York the balance Of
trade was reversed and show an excess of
imports over exports Of near s., 500, 900.
iAt this rttc with decreased exports of
.breadstutfs, as is likely during the current
year, We shall soon arrive at q point where
We will bic called OH to settle adverse for
balances, iot.in the products OF the coun-
try but ngold. When that point arrives
and it seems to be looming up in the no
distant flture-our resumption policy will
be,ssdjeeted to a stain that it is not pleas
ant to consider.
&hThe way to prevent this result is simple
enough and that is TO check extravaganza
and by using less foreign luxGries; but
whose wife or daughter is t, abstain from
the silk dress and exquisite laces and Jewell,
ry? Whotis to forego the foreign pictures
and bronzes and wines of rare Old vintage?
81 Another way-and this would cure the
evil effectualy-is to cultivate more init
mate relations with those foreign nations
that require to purchase abroad such arUi-
cles as the people OF the United States are
prepared to manufacture and supply. We
ought to export our cotton in manufactured
goods instead of the raw material. We
should with our vast Territory be an cx-
porter Of wool and of WOODEN goods as well.
We might readily produce at home silk
fibre enough not only to make our own
silks, but we ought to export for the usa
of foreign looms. With our iron and
valuable woods we ought to furnish all
the neishboring nations with railroad iron
and steel, and tools and implements, if not
with furniture. When the United States
learns the vast capacity she possesses for
producing ~2such manufactured articles
as the restof the world requires, and sets
about supplying them with these, then,
and then only, will she see dawn upon her
the greatness that inevitably awaits her in
the future 5a-@
