Views of Business Men.
Some Who Thiak That Hancock's Flee.
ton Will Increase Our Prosperity.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-The Times
Tomorrow will print interviews with
business men upon the effect of the
election on business.

not believe that the business inter-
ests OF the country have anything to
fear from the election of either can.
didate. The more they can be sep-
arated from politics the safer and
more prosperous they will be.
George Bullock, of the Consho-
hocken Woolen Mills believes that
Hancock's election will secure on q
frmer basis what has been estab-
lished by the way. People will see
that no party shall destroy the couu-
try's prosperity.
William Massey, head of the brew
ing firm, says: I think the election
OF Hancock will have good effect
upon the country, aud will unite the
North and South stronger than be.
fore.
Thomas G.. Hood, of the whole
sale dry goods firm Of Hood, Bon
bright & Co., says: As long as we
have good crops, business will pros
per, without regard to which party
is successful.
Franklin. B. Gowan, of the Read.
ing Railroad, says: I think the
business prosperity of this country
depends upon natural causes, en-
tirely unconnected with party poll
tics; and it is very unfair for p0liti-
clans to attempt to frighten tinid
people by representing that the cleo
ton of their opponents candidate
will affect the business interests of
the country.
B. X. Jameson, the banker, says
that the election will have no mate
rial effect upon the business interests
of the country.
Henry d. Welch, of the Wholesale
dry goods firm of James Santee g.
Co.. and President of the American
Steamship Company, says: Busi.
ness is not disturbed by politics, and
we shall continue prosperous, who
ever is elected. l think, however.
that Gen. Hancock's election will
give greater stability to, business,
because the Democratic party il
more conservative and prosperous
than the Republican party.
A long list of business men talk in
this strain. On the other hand,
several think that the election of
Hancock would be disastrous. OF
this number are President Hinckley,
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, and Fred
erick Fraley, President of the West
ern Saving Fund Society.

Decline of Wheat in Russia.

A short time ago two American
steamers laden with wheat entered
the Russian port of Revel, circum-
stance hitherto without precedent in
the annals of Russian commerce.
That Russia would never need to
import cereals from foreign countries
has heretofore been firmly estab-
lished article of popular faith
throughout the Cars dominions.
So rapid, however, has Of late years
been the falling off in productiveness
exhibited in the agricultural districts
of the empire, that the seemingly
impossible has at length come to
pass, and Northern Russia is import
ing wheat from the United States.
There are many causes for this fall
ing off in Russian agriculture, the
principal ones being the persistence
in the old fashioned and exploded
systems of cultivation, a reluctance
to invest capital in modern agricul-
tural improvements, absenteeism
and other laches which have practic-
ally disqualified Russian grain grow
ers from competing for foreign Gus
tom with the United States. But
Russian farmers seem to be immut-
ably possessed by the conviction
that their country was predestined
to be the granary of Europe, and
they calmly ignored any pretentions
of the United States to supplant her.
They are now stricken with amaze.
ment and CONSERVATION by proof
positive, such as is afforded by the
importation of American grain into
Revel, that the cereal yields OF
Northern and Central Russia will no
longer suffice to meet the require
ments of the native population.
Germany, too, is giving to America
the preference over Russia for what
grain she finds it necessary to i'm
| port from abroad, on the reasonable
grounds that American wheat is at
once cheaper and of better quality
than the Russian. On the whole,
Russian agriculture is just now at
an extremely low ebb, and its future
promises to prove even gloomiei
| than at present.

LincOln's Opinion of Hancock.

A correspondent of the Lancas-
ter, pa Miel'Vnc'r gives the fol-
lowing anecdotc, as told by Mr..
James McDougal, Il prominent Re-
publican of Baltimora:
When My. Lincoln issued his
Emancipation Proclamation-l be
lieve that was the cccasion--a depu-
tation of citizens from Baltimore
went on to Washington to congratu-
late him. Mr.. McDougal was one
of the number. They speedily got
through with their address at the
White House, and were about to
leave, with the declaration that they
would not further trespass upon the
Presidents valuable time.
"Take seats, boys, take seats!'
exclaimed Mr.. Lincoln, as he rang
for chairs to be brought in. "It
would be strange if | could not spare
q half hour or an hour for conversa-
tow with friends who come from
Baltimore to see me"
The visitors sat down and spent
nearly an hour in conversation.
Presently the subject OF Generals
came up, and various opinions were
expressed as to who was the nblest
officer on our side. When u great
many opinions had been given Mr..
Lincoln said
Gentlemen, i'll my judgment
you have not struck the right man
yet"
And Of course all were anxious to
hear him name the man, and asked
him to do so. He said:
a. II Is Gen. Hancock.
The countenance of his visitors
expressed surprise, and one of them
ventured to say that he feared Han
cock was too rash.
eyes," said Mr. Lincoln, so
some of the older Generals have said
to me, and have said to them, that
l have watched Gen. Hancocks s con-
duct very carefully, and l have found
that when he goes into action he
achieves his purpose and comes out
with u smaller list of casualties than
any Of them. Bold lie is, but not
rash. Why, gentlemen, do you
know what his record was at West
Point?
And Mr.. Lincoln went to his book
shelf, and taking down an army reg
lister showed the position in which
Hancock had graduated, and that,
furthermore, in class that was one
of the most distinguished that had
congratulated at the Military Acad-
envy Continuing to speak of him III
the highest terms, he further said:
" l tell you, gentlemen, that if his
iife and strength are spared, l be-
ileve that Gen. Hancock is destined
to be one of the most distinguished
men of the ago. Why, when | go

ElOping by Proxy.
Detroit Free Press.

A passenger tralu which left Lans-
ing, coming east, last Monday, had
among its passengers u plain faced, :,
sensible looking girl about twenty
years of age, and thin wasted
sickly-looking man a year or two
older. No one would have mistrust-
ed that they were elopins had not
the young man asked the conductor
if there was a Clergyman on the
train. There was none, and the
young man explained to the passen-
gers around him that he was in a
bad fix. He had come down from
Bath township in a buggy, and he
was quite sure that the girls father
would take the other road down to
Chicago Junction, and there board
the Lansing train and raise a row.
He was not much on the row, but
yet lie loved the girl, and they were
bound to marry. If the old man
came along he thought he could bluff
him off, if his two big sons came
along the scale would be turned.
He, therefore, wanted to know of a
man wearing a red wooden shirt and
coouskin cap if he would stand by
him.
You bet will" was the hearty
response. "I got my old gal by
running away with her, and I'll see
you through this, if I never do any
more good! You wouldn't be worth
a cent in free fight, and now you
60 into the baggage car and let me
run this affair alone. I want TO be
seated beside the gal when the old
man comes in"
When the whistle blew for the
Junction, Coonskin changed places,
and as the cars halted he put his arm
around Mary and took one of her
hands in his. The old man and his
two sons were on hand, and they
piled into the car pell-mell.
Here sho isl" called the father,
as he caught sight of the girl, and
the three made rush.
Run away with MY" began
the old man, but when he saw the
stranger beside her he checked him.

Coonskin, AS he looked up. Y -
"Who are you, sir ?"
/" I'm going to be your son-in-law
in less than an hour-eh! darling ?"
He gave Mary a squeeze and she
looked happy.
"Come along, Mary-come right
along home with me % ordered the
father.
Let's mash the villain!' added
one of the sons.
Put head on him-let NE get
at him!' shouted the other.
The father seized Mary and the
sons seized Coonskin. The red
shirt lowered aloft, q pair of big
fists began working with "pop!
pop! and as fast as the trio got up
they made for the door. Coonskin
followed bis arms and feet working
like trip-hammer, and when the
train moved on the father sat on a
box with a big woolen mitten held
to his nose, one of the sons was pull
ing loose teeth from his jaw, and
the other was cropping his way to a
snow-bank.
"Now, then" said Coonskin, as
the exultant lover returned, "re-
sumo Yer seat, take her little hand
in yours, and don't calkerlate you
owe me anything"
Say, Tom," said the girl, "I'm
going to kiss him for that!'
=" All right, SIS"
Well, just as you feel" said
Coonskin, as he returned the smack.

lows:
Per cent. Per Cent.

Many interesting facts may be
drawn from these tables. The pop
ulation of all the northern States in
1850 is 81 ,023 ,544, against popu-
latlon in the Southern States of
only 1S,75S,947. This difference
would seem to settle the question as
to which section of the Union is
likely to retain the preference of po-
litical power. But if we ascertain
the percentage Of increase in popu-
lation in the North and in the South
in the decade of 1S70-S0, we shall
be surprised to find that while the
populous north, which includes every
State in the Union which has IT.
ceived any perceptible accession
from foreign emigration, except
Texas, has increased - per cent. =,
the South has increased 26 per cent.
1t will be noted that no State or
Territory in the Union has declined
in population in the past ten years.
Between 1860 and 1870 one State,
New Hampshire, fell off somewhat
in population, but in the decade just
closed it gained all it had lost. and
more too. Vermont, which many
supposed had lost on account of the
steady removal of asriculturalists
has made an encouraging gain.
The newer Western States have ta-
ken tremendous strides in growth,
while the older Western States show
the natural growth of settled and
prosperous communities.
