Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1881-08-20

THE past week has been one of
feverish excitement in regard to the
reports of the Presidents condition.
His life has been hanging by q
thread, as it were, and the attending
physicians, while expressing hope,
have shown in their bulletins that
they were almost hoping against
hope.
His condition yesterday was a lit
tie more hopeful than for several
days previous, but by no means en-
couraging. 1t is now generally con-
ceded that the President has a bare
possible chance of pulling through.
The country would not be greatly
surprised to hear of his death at any
moment. If he RECEIVERS it will be
almost a miracle.

THE platform adopted by the
straightout Republican Convention
of Virginia, contains in one of its
sections the following sentence:
"And we in the most solemn form,
pledge the Republican party of the
State to the full payment of the
whole debt of the State, less the one
third set aside as justly falling on
West Virginia"
That sounds very pretty on paper,
but we rise to say that, in our opin-
ion, the learned trainers of that sem
tence are "little too previous" in
their assertion as to what amount of
the debt "justly falls on West Viz
ginia. That is about the same kind Of
"hedging" on the debt question prac-
ticed by the Democrats in their plat
form, and is not as squarely honest,
in declaration, as that of the Read
busters. The Democrats declare for
the payment of the entire debt, but
win oppose any increase of taxation
to do it. The Republicans pledge
themselves to pay two-thirds of it,
and dispose of the other third by
cody assigning it to West Virginia.
And they do this in the 'most SOL
emn form" The "Solemnity" OF
this proceeding is where the laugh
comes in.
The truth of the matter is, there
doesn't seem to be among the lead
ers of either of the three parties in
Virginia, any considerable surplus
of the real, genuine old DR.. Jacob
Thompson debt payers. There are
not many of them who set up Of
nights, worrying about it.

A REMARKABLE REVOLUTION.

The success of the Literary Rev
olution in producing Cyclopadia,
the largest ever published in this
country, well printed and bound, at
the nominal cost of SIS, seemed to
the majority of book-buyers so re-
markable, that the second Literary
Revolution, which reduces the cost
of this most excellent work to $40,
seems almost incredible. The facts
of the case are, however, made so
evident and so reasonable, that there
can be no questioning them. We
have in this office some of the vol
umes which demonstrate their SUI
perior character in every way, and
the facts and figures which are pub
lished in detail elsewhere in this
paper, under the title of ga Second
Literary Revolution" show very
clearly, though very surprisingly,
how it is possible to make such an
extremely valuable and costly Cyclic
p@dia accessible to the masses at
such trifling cost.
To remove any possible incredulity
which might exist in the minds of
some that this is only a plausible
scheme for getting a large amount
of money in small sums from great
many individuals, in return for
books which might never be deliv-
cred, the publishers do not require
any payment whatever in advance.
You may, if you please, simply send
your order by postal card, and make
no payment except upon the deliv-
cry of the goods themselves, and
after you have examined them and
found them satisfactory. Orders
should be sent TO the publishers at
once, in order to secure the special
terms given during the month Of
August.

IT is SAID in Washington that the
document signed last week by Pres
ident Garfield, and reported to have
been an Of order extradition, was in
reality a proclamation converting
Congress in extra session in the event
Of the Presidents death. The Senate
having failed to elect a Vice-Presi-
dent pro TEN, this rumor has every
appearance of truth shat would be
the only way to guard against posi-
BILE contingencies.

THE past week has been an eXcit-
ing one in the grain market through
out the country. Prices have stead
lily advanced from day to day, with
but one or two exceptions, and the
price is still upward. 1t is more
than likely there will be break in
prices by the first of September, es-
pecially if the receipts at the Allan
tic ports should be liberal by the end
of the month. But it would doubt
less prove only temporary, as it is
now almost certain that tie general
run of prices during the year will be
considerably higher than last year.
The threshing of the crops in Eng
land and France indicates that the
yield will be much less than was ex-
pected. In Russia the crop is good,
and on the total yield in that coun-
try will depend the future course of
the market.

THE wheat crop in this country
will be short. The Agricultural De-
partment figures out shortage in
the yield for this year of 125,O00,O00
bushels compai ed with last year.
This deficiency would naturally lead
to the conclusion that the price
would be largely in advance of last
year. This, however, will depend
largely on the demand from Europe.
Our expectation last year reached
nearly 100000, 900 bushels. The same
demand this year would undoubt-
edly run the price up, as the supply
is so much shorter. But the crops
in Europe, as a general thing, are
much better than last year, and the
prices may not go up as high as the
present rise would seem to indicate.
Still it is yet too early to predict
with certainty.

THERE is an effort being made on
the part of the syndicate to get up
panic similar to that Of 1878. These
men, who control millions Of money,
make their fortunes out of the wreck
and ruin Of honest people. But they
will find this bad time to start
panic. The times are not propitious
An exchange forcibly remarks:
"When both England and France
are regretting the necessity Of send
ing us more gold in exchange for
breadstuffs, when all our crops are
al least good and values are rising,
when profits are satisfactory and
wages high, when all labor is in de-
mand, when imports are decreasing
and immigration outrunning all
previous records when an industri-
GUS people not forgetting the lessons
of the panic are putting their earn
ings in the savings banks ard other
places of deposit and investment,
when the New York savings banks
alone hold $20,000,000 more than
they did one year ago-when such
things arc occurring among q people
that now numbers over $4,000, 600.
it is not good time to cry panic. :"

TIE Agricultural Department
reports for August estimates the
wheat crop at $50, 900, 900 bushels, or
100000 bushels short of 1880.
The outlook in the corn crop also
indicates much smaller yield,
which would naturally result in af-
fecting the price Of wheat, as we'll as
corn.
Wheat is now quoted in the Balti-
more market, cash and August at
$1.32(01.35 for Fultz, and $1.34(G
1.39 for Longberry, with an active
and firm market. November fu-
lures quoted at $1,42(01.429 The
prices offered for futures show that
in the judgment of dealers, there is
no immediate prospect of decline.

To put then, the business outlook
into nutshell, just now the popu-
lation of MaZatlan is well supplied
with very intelligent class of
mercantile men, who control an
immense trade just as their fathers
have before them. Their hold up
on this trade is very firm, and un-
til the locomotive shows it's head
light in the place, competition in
general trade will be an almost
hopeless task. After the locomo-
tive? All! that is another ques.
tion that will no doubt settle Itself
with all regard to the laws of sup
ply and demand. One thing might
be made a profitable business in
Mazatlan. 1 refer to the shipment
of fine woods for veneerfng pur-
poses. The back country is heavi-
ly wooded with timber admirably
adapted for such purposes, but
some considerable capital would be
required to prosecute it to advapt-
age. The MeXicans welcome
workers of all kinds, men who can
do something and help develop
their country. The manufacture
of vegetable oils by the slow and
laborious methods of the natives is
still profitable business aud might
be made a mint of on large scale
