MANUFACTURES AND COMMERCE.

Our manufactures are rapidly making us
industrially independent, and are opening to
capital and labor new and profitable fields
of employment. This steady and healthy
growth should sii! he maintained. Our IA
cilities for transportation should be promot-
cd by the continued improvement of our har-
bors and great interior waterways and by the
increase of our tonnage on the ocean.

"a THuaDERIgG PRICE FOR BEANS.

Tom Watrous, commercial traveller,
stopped off at the Marshall, Michigan, eat.
ing house several years ago.
He was not very hungry, and called for
plate of beans, which he received. He
inquired the price, and was informed that
it was IS cents.
"That's laundering price for beans,
said Tom.
That's the price," said the proprietor.
The train was just starting. Tom paid
the bill, and the coaches carried him and
his indignation on towards Detroit. This
was ON Saturday. On Monday Gilmore,
the eating-house man, received telegram,
collect on delivery 81 %, which he paid,
and upon opening it ne read, "a thunder
ing price for beans"
Thirty days from that date neat eX-
press package was handed in ta Mr.. Gill
more, Q. o. D., who paid 90 cents for the
privilege of opening it, to discover lot of
sawdust, on top of which lay slip of
paper with the cabalistic words : ga thun-
dering price for beans.
Two months from this Mr.. Gilmore was
summoned to Chicago to meet former
business partner, and the hotel clerk
handed him letter conveying the pleas.
ant information, ga laundering price for
beans !"
During Glmore's absence his son paid
for two kilograms and one express pack
age, all bearing on the subject of 70 cents
being ga laundering price for beans. !"
Cost of these articles, So so.
A genuine telegram from Gilmore's min
ing share broker, advising him to sell, was
refused and the loss of it entailed an actual
damage to Gilmore of 81, 800.
A year rolled away. Gilmore ordered q
case of Mackinaw trout from Detroit.
They came G. 0. D., Sl3 So; when opened
he found that every fish had been removed
from the ice and sawdust, and shingle
met his eyes, marked with a blue lead pen.
Gil, ''A laundering price for beans ="
Trouble arose between Gilmore and the
Detroit fish house, and they went to law,
Gilmore winning the suit, S25 damages,
and all at a cost for the attorneys services
of $50 90.
Gilmore grew detected. Life looked
gloomy. Letters poured in on every one
of his family at regular intervals, from all
parts of the world, bearing the unpleasant
information that 1t was laundering
price for beans !"
At last Gilmore sold the Marshall eating
hoase and moved to Chicago. He carried
his deep affection along with him, gnawing
like cancer at his vitals. The persecu-
tion never ceased. Gilmore dropped, faded,
and finally died. The terribly afflicted
family followed him to his last resting
place, and the widow, with what little
money she had saved from the bogus tele-
grams and express packages, erected plain
marble slab to the memory of the tortured
Gilmore.
The following Sabbath the mourning
family went to the cemetery to plant some
violets on Gilmore's grave. Arriving or
the ground, they observed in silent horror
that another legend appeared above the
name of Gilmore, on the tombstone. 1t
was chalked on small blackboard aud
read ga laundering Price for Beans. %

outside the Mint, which exchanged impaired
bullion for refined metal.

THE sKIsMIsHING THEORY,

The latest theory in explanation of the
recent shipment of internal machines from
Boston to Liverpool is that they were not
seriously intended to be employed for
destructive purposes, but that they were
sent over in the interest of the Fenian
skirmishing fund, and chiefly for the pur-
pose of inducing the credulous to believe
that daring deeds were being undertaken,
to the end that they might contribute of
their means more cheerfully. We doubt
whether those who advance this theory
have soberly reflected upon its implication.
If it means anything, it means that there
are a great many people in the United
States who can be induced to pay money
to fund which they believe is to be EN-.
ployed in furnishing internal machines
wherewith to blow up public buildings in
England. When, therefore, it is said in
the same breath that the Fenians condemn
this kind Of skirmishing, it is obvious
that the responsibility for its support is
merely shifted on to the shoulders of the
subscribers to the fund. For nothing
can be palmer than the fact that if these
subscribers are induced to subscribe by the
expectation that internal machines are to be
used, they themselves approve of the
employment of such machines. The
case, therefore, resolves itself into
this dilemma. Either the infer.
nal machines were sent, with the
serious purpose of using them, or they
were sent to satisfy the sentiment of those
who desire that such things should be en-
ployed. We do not see that it matters
very much which horn of this dilemma is
taken, for in either case the conclusion is
inevitable that there exists somewhere a
pronounced sentiment in favor of Internal
machines. The circumstance that these
machines were charged with dynamite,
however, must be regarded as telling
strongly against the theory of q sham
movement. Had it only been sought to
create an impression upon the subscribers
to the skirmishing fund, it is evident that
unchanged machines would have answered
equally well, while they would have been
perfectly harmless. In this case, however,
the shippers deliberately took the risk of
blowing up the steamer that carried their
dangerous consignment, and it seems
highly improbable that anyone would have
done this unless there had been desperate
purposes impelling them. On the whole,
therefore, the new theory cannot be &C.
cepted as plausible. It is an explanation
which does not explain.

BrsMARcEs ELrcr1oNEgR1Na TACTICS

II we may Judge from the specimen given
in the dispatches recently of the anti-free.
trade articles of the German government
press, Bismarck's ideas OF journalism do
not rise much above the level of the
famous Eatanswill Gazette. The definition
of free-trade given by the North German
GG-ette Is about as accurate as the sketches
of the Corsican Ogre which appeared in
the English journals at the beginning of
the century. Its chief significance, how.
ever, is that it implies very remarkable
confidence in the ignorance of the voters.
The idea that education in Germany has
progressed far beyond our own experience
is certainly not borne out by these grotesque
and extravagant burlesques upon political
economy. 1t is possible, however, that
Bismarck is too impatient of oppos ton to
calculate sufficiently upon the effects of
patent misrepresentation, and that in his
attempts to travesty the principles Of free
trade he has made another of his historical
mistakes. It is true that Germany has
produced many famous economists, and
that the works of these men are really
studied in the universities and colleges.
But the opposition offered to the German
protective system has not been so strong
as to justify the conclusion that the people
as whole are much better grounded in
these matters than American citizens. We
cannot indeed believe that they are so
stupid as to accept the absurdities of the
North German Gazette for truth, but con-
troversy which begins in this way is very
unlikely to terminate soberly.

THE sEcRsrAEYsB1p OF TIE SENATE.

The office of Secretary of the United
States Senate is vacant, the incumbent,
Mr.. Burch, having died yesterday of heart
disease, suddenly. At present it is by no
means certain which party will FIJI the
office, Conkling's resignation having pro-
duced situation which may enable the
Democrats to contest the seats of his and
Platt's successors, Messrs. Miller and lap
ham. II, however, the Republicans secure
the control OF the Senate, there will neces-
sarly be sharp rivalry for the place. We
think we may take it for granted that
George c. Gorham is out of the question
as a candidate, though it is by no means
certain that he will take that view of the
situation. He is, however, if President
Garfield lives, an impossible candidate,
and yet he may perhaps perform an in
voluntary and unconscious service to this
coast by giving some support to its claims
to the succession. California has, in the
person of Marcus D. Boruck, candidate
ioA VIC oiiOS VI oeCieSaiJ Vi Inc ShIteu
States Senate who possesses special and
unquestioned qualifications for the posi-
ton, Mr.. Boruck's long experience as
Secretary of the State Senate has demon
strated his fitness for analogous Offices in
the most conclusive manner, while his
jealous and continued services in the adj
ministrative posts of the Republican State
organization speak to the reality of his
party loyalty and usefulness. Mr. Boruck
would carry into the office a thorough
knowledge of its routine duties, and an
energy and ability which would doubtless
be appreciated and recognized by the
Senate without distinction of party.

separated parts of the country, and to sat-
isfy the most various and discordant re-
quirements. He must select from great
mass OF intelligence of all kinds that which
is adapted to the different markets he sup
plies. At the same time he must send ey-
erything of Importance, and above all he
must keep well up with the news Of the
hour. But it is often by no means easy to
ascertain what news is considered specially
important in many quarters. OF course
there is no difficulty in regard to great
events like the assassination of the Presi-
dent, but it frequently occurs that matters
which are regarded as of considerable con-
sequence on the Atlantic coast are looked
upon in the Far West as trivial. Then as
regards politics, it is almost impossible for
the General Agent to hold the scales SO
evenly as to escape criticism. Ii his news
is Republican he is abused by the Demo-
Gratis if Democratic he is denounced by
the Republicans. Most people judge from
the tenor of the news the politics of the
man who sends it. This is no doubt ridic-
ulous, but it is human nature Mr.. Simon
ton stroye hard to be impartial, but
for all that he did not escape
calumny. In fact it may be said
that the Office he has filed is one
which is from the very nature of the case
impossible for any merely human being to
occupy with complete and constant salts
faction to everybody. He, however, has
certainly filed it with ability, zeal and en-.
ergy. He has watched over the interests
Of his clients unremittingly. He has been
equal to every emergency in the prepare
ton and transmission of news. He has
earned the rest which he will probably
find it impossible to take. Most men en-
gagged in absorbing and 'exacting occupa-
tons look forward to a time when they will
be released from work, and when, their
creature comforts being well assured, it
will be possible for them to repose. But
when at last they are relieved from toll
they discover that the habit of work which
they have acquired is imperious and not to
be broken, and they usually discover
also that they have lost the capacity OF
forming entirely new habits of life, and
even of extracting pleasure from unfamiliar
occupations. They then realize that the
work of their life had been its recreation
also, and that their hard-earned leisure of.
fers no amusements half so satisfying as
the daily tasks whose final REIMBURSEMENT
they had anticipated so hopefully.
