THE New york Commercial Bulletin.

THE New York Commercial Bulletin,
paper whose sympathies are with the doc
trines of free trade, has lost all patience
with the Democratic party, and condemns
its shutting and contemplate course in re-
gard to the tariff i vigorous and animated
language. 1t says the Democracy have turned
"ther backs on their principles by pretend
ing that they have not made free trade an
issue in the election. Such a shameless
recreancy to party principles has never been
exhibited in the whole history of our politi-
cal contests. 1t is rot merely that Sena-
tor deemed worthy of nomination for the
Presidency has spoken mi cling words to
propitate protectionists, nor that promi ent
party organs and party leaders have shirked
the issue and skunk away from their STAN
dard, but their candidate for the Presidency
has belied his party's platform and its i'm
memorial policy by declaring, in response to
a local clamor, that he virtually favors pro-
lection as much as the rival candidate. A
party whose spokesmen can thus adjure its
fundamental principles, in the face of a
contest that boldly challenges those princi-
pies, has sunk to the last stage of demorali-
zation and declared itself unfit to be in
trusted with the representation of any great
issue in national politics. 1t is the last
overt act needed to demonstrate how utter
ly that party has lost respect for its most
cherished traditions and how imperative
the necessity is that public opinion should
be represented by reconstruction of
parties.''

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
OF NEW YORK.
The Business View of a Change.

The Business View of Change.
Did space permit the remarkable article
in the North American Review from which
copious excerpts are printed in this issue of
the PRESS, would be republished in its en-
tirety in these columns. The gravity of
the subject with which it deals, the great
interests concerned in the discussion to
which it is so valuable contribution, its
weighty and logical reasoning, sobriety of
statement and moderation of tone, and the
names OF the experienced business men who
are its authors and sponsors, all combine to
give it weight, and to attract to it the most
attentive consideration. 1t is an authorita-
tive exto osition of the political situation
from business point of view, a frank state
ment of the dangers to which the commerce
and industries and finances of the country
would be subjected by that abrupt and
sweeping change in administration and eco
nomic policy which must follow Democrat
ic restoratio,.
The entire article in the North American
oIght to be in the hands of every voter
who sincerely desires to promote the well
fare of the country, and who is willing to give
intellige t and candid study to the questions
in discussion, and to defend righteous in
terests that are seriously imperilled. If the
extracts which We make from it-extracts
which give taste of its quality, indicate its
reasoning and summarize its conclusions
lead to a reading of the article our suppose
will be accomplished. The considerations
it presents are of great and immediate con-
cern to all men engaged in the expenditure
or accumulation of capital, to the capitalist
and the laboring man, to the employers and
the employed. As the paper says we
have entered upon period of hopeful activ-
ity in commerce and industry. Trade null
vigor; labor rejoices in fair wages and full
employment. Yet we have but just emerged
from long period of disaster, in which the
resources of all were greatly strained and
the reserves of capital greatly exhausted. A
year or two of rebuilding, restoration, and
large outlays for the adjustment of business
to new needs, became necessary after long
prostration. There has not been time as yet,
for business and industry in their various
branches to get fully into condition for
profitable work; much less has there been
time for the accumulation of new reserves.
Business interests are not prepared to bear
another period of strain and disaster. They
have just begun to thrive. A reaction now,
like relapse from fever, would be more
dangerous than the original disorder. In
1889, after one year of partial recovery from
he comparatively brief prostration of 1887
the country suffered such a relapse, and the
terrible consequences will not be forgotten.
The business of this country is not in the
condition to endure the enormous strain,
the grave anxiety, and the prolonged un-
certainty of complete change of financial
policy

Phelps. In the following extracts we repro
duce the most important facts and conclusions
which it presents:
Twenty years ago, when the debt of the
United States was only S1.91 per capita the
$1,5O0,OO0 at II per cent interest. Last year.
though the debt of the United States was
$4O.42 per capita, in single day $194, 100000
was offered to the Government at per cent,
when it needed and accepted only S12l 600 900.
Under the latest Democratic administrator
the public debt was more than doubled during
four years of peace, and United States 3 per
cents sold at 96 in December 1860. Within
the last four years the public debt has been re-
duced $1S3 ,S45, ,162, or nearly six times the en-
bonds have sold at 11Os Yet, notwithstand-
ing this marvellous change for the better, some
partisans insist that "a change" is necessary,
and that another Democratic Administration
should now be intrusted with power. A trans
fe- of power from the party which has SO com.
pletely restored the public credit to the par
by which it was left so completely wrecked
would naturally cause serious alarm. The
public credit has become so linked with all
financial commercial, and industrial interests
that it cannot be impaired or seriously threat
ened without the gravest consequences. The
time has long passed-if, indeed, it ever ex-
sted-when only few wealthy men would
have suffered from blow at the public credit
The "bloated bondholder'' has become the
average American voter. A great number OF
persons are now affected dir city, and much
greater number indirectly, but personally, by
every rise or fall in the value of Government
securities, while any considerable change
would affect every branch of industry and
trade, and nearly every lender or borrower,
laborer Or employer, in the whole land.

The Protective Tariff Agitation
The movement for a tariff meeting in
Gardiner, as set forth in our telegraphic col
umns. springs from the business men of that
thriving city on the Kennebec. Undoubted-
ly similar meetings will be called in differ
ent parts of the State. The movement is
taking deep hold on the farmers as well as
the manufacturers. No class of men in
Maine would feel the prostl9 ing effects of
a British free trade policy niore disastrously
than the farmers. There is widespread
awakening on the subject throughout the
length and breadth of the State. Let the
business men in every town take the lead.
1t is not a partisan movement. 1t is the in
stinct of self-preservation among the people
that prompts it.

THE Argus is as innocent as Hancock
and wants to know what the tariff question
is, anyhow. 1t is the question between the
Democratic and the Republican doctrine.
The Democrats declared in their national
platform in favor of tariff for revenue on
ly. The Republicans in their platform de-
clared that ''the duties levied for the pur-
pose of revenue should so discriminate as to
favor American labor" That is the issue,
made by the Democrats themselves. They
read the Republican platform and deliber-
ately antagonized it. We hold them to the
issue they have themselves advanced.

and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is

and yet the cause Of it may easily be 70

it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.

bartered each other with bets.
BIG JOB.
| When the clerks contemplated the job be
fore them they inwardly wished that the
election had never taken place or that they
| had never been born. The head Of the ticket
was counted first, Garfield's majority an
nounced and the real business began. The
; tickets were sorted in files of 100 each. and

the names We're slowly checked off The work
soon became 50 mechanical and monotonous

count was ell that kept the clerks and in
spectors from falling asleep over the tally
At midnight fresh shift went on, who were
in turn relieved at 0 clock in the morning,

and counting. The meals were spread on the
counting tables. Each hour general sum-

spectators had large sums staked on the re-

or fifteen votes, or fell behind as many more.
the excitement grew more than interesting.
