YANKEE CORNERS.r

Between Great Britain and the United States
there are some commercial differences OF
method which neither tariffs nor institutions
can cause or cure. When Great Britain catches
any OF our industries at disadvantage, vlgOT-
Gus efforts are instantly made, and large sacri-
fees are willingly borne by British producers
and dealers, to grasp and hold the market for
themselves. When the United States catches
any British industry at a disadvantage, at once
we 90 oft into prolonged gambling debauch,
and push prices up so far us to XIII the busl-
ness. Legitimate dealers and spectators vie
with each other in trying to corner" the
world and make foreigners pay an unnatural
and excessive instead of a natural price III the
"corner" succeeds, the spectators make
money. and kill the business for the future. If
it fails they lose money, and kill the business
all the same. Nobody thinks it worth his while
to do anything or to leave anything undone for
the sake of establishing the trade upon per-
mancnt basis. The rule is AFTER us, the
deluge."
During the past year we have been trying to
corner" the universe, and particularly Great
Britain, on wheat. There was not much sense
in the undertaking. Crops in other countries
were not especially small. OF ourlarge crop of
1880 fully 50,000,000 bushels had remained
unsold. Though the Atlantic States held less
than usual they held more than there was any
need for here, while the Pacific States held
more than ever before. But the cliques pro-
ceeded to put up the price so high that exports
were nearly stopped, and foreign purchasers
began, early in the season, to look elsewhere
for supplies, taking just as little as possible
from this country. The results are altogether
more instructive than agreeable.
From September l to May Great Britain
imported more wheat than in the correspond
ing months of the previous year. The
quantity imported was 40,150,126 cwt.,
against 35,911,996 in 19S0-'S1. But
although our chief customer bought largely,
she did not buy largely from u.s. Of
the trade which this country had secured
in the previous year, 4,17O,OOO cwt.
100000 cwt. to Germany. The corner
makers, moreover, could not control all the
markets even in this country, and the Pacific
States promptly and sensbly marketed their
grain, while the producers of Atlantic States
were waiting for England to come to us on
Bonded knee and beg for wheat at any price.
The shipments to Great Britain from the Pacific
States doubled, while those from the Atlantic
States decreased nearly One-half. During the
eight months ending May the imports of
wheat into Great Britain were by countries as
follows:

TIE JEFFERSON REMAINS.

The remains of Mr.. Thomas Jefferson are the
subject matter of a local dispute in Virginia.
In accordance with his own directions they
were buried at Monticello, where they at pres
cnt repose, somewhat neglected it is true, but
a. least in peace There was much quarreing
all around him during his continuance In the
flesh, and there has been no lack of turbulent
disputation about him, and about what he did,
and said, and thought, over since he fled out of
that frail integument. But through all these
years his bones ut least have rested in peace
profounder than he ever knew while living, or
than his opinions gave his own or succeeding
generations. 1t has been very quiet at Month
cello since the founder of the Democracy A"
was laid at rest there. Much talk has flowed
and flown over what he did really believe, in
matters of politics or religion, and his great
spirit wandering about in the beyond must
have been seriously disturbed at one time and
another by the buffetings it has experienced at
the hands of the beer-pushers and tumbler-
rnsers who have taken his name and fame
under their special guardianship and have made
themselves his chosen representatives. Had he
all tho goodness and greatness which these
strange persons who have apotheosizeG him
attributed to him, he must look down from the
serene heights he occupies with great contempt
upon the degeneracy of his self-anointed fol-
lowers and disciples. Had lie all the badness
and littleness with which his contemporary op-
ponents credited him, he could not help feeling
that in both directions his successors and disci-
pies have SO far outrun him as to leave him not
so much the fame OF a great exempar as the
glory of a small but infinitely prolific seed.
For nearly a hundred years there has been
more or less disturbance about his opinions.
For a considerable portion of that time his
bones have disturbed no one and been undis-
turbed themselves.
Year after year the grass has sprung up and
the flowers have blossomed over the grave at
Monticello the leaves have futtered down
upon it and the SHOWS .enwrapped it; the
seasons have walked over it in their long pro-
cession moss and mould have covered it, and
all around it have been the signs of neglect
and the proverbial ingrahtude of republics.

England than Russia, moro than our Pacific
States ever have sent until this year, and
nearly two-thirds rs much as the Atlantic
States. 1t has become the most important
competitor of the United States. though
producing in all only about 32O,OOo,Ooo
bushels, India has the more to spare because IL
produces a vast quantity oil rice and vege-
tables, upon which the population is manly
sustained. The yield of grain can be lndch-
nitely increased, and the extreme cheapness Oh
labor gives the Indian wheat-grower great
advantage. An expenditure of many millions
by the Government of Great Britain has given
the country many railroads, so that Its products
can now be transported to the sea very cheaply.
The British millers have not liked the dry
wheat of India, but under pressure OF hlgh
prices in this country have learned to mix 1t
adyantageously with the softer wheat of Eng
land. while the Indian Government is taking
great pains to improve the supply of seed.
One year ago, this country seemed to nave
British agriculture almost at its mercy. But

not cry ont with one voice when that splendid
monument fell to the ground.
In good time have the heroes OF that age
been gathered to their rest. Cavour, Liberal
of llustrious birth and of the most progressive
tyne. who advocated the liberty of a parliament
tary State and solved the complex problem OF
the free Church in the free State, died before
his work was done, but not too soon for his
fame for while he knew how to govern he had
n conscientious regard for parliamentary
opinion, and would have exhausted the pa
thence of the country before the end could have
been reached. Ricasoli, the patrcian Liberal
who undertook to perpetuate the system Ct
Cavour, received ample recognition OF his IN
tcgrty of character. Even the democratic
Rattazzi, who had been supported in his IN
trigues by incompatible factions, and whose
HELPLESS dupe Garibaldi was when after Aspro-
monte he was carried captive to Piedmont with
n bullet in his foot got credit before he died for
his practical talent by which he had kept him
self in Office and made himself indispensable to
successive Administrations. Victor Emanuel,
the soldier king, died in the fulness of time,
when his eminent public services had sane
toned the constitutional monarchy. Finally
the soldier patriot has passed away in the
maturity of age, when he is exempted from
criticism fer premature action and headstrong
daring to which he would once have been OK

But there was peace at last. At Monticello
there were no signs of the great unquiet which
the Virginia sage left as his legacy to pOsterity.
The party to which he did not give but which as
sumed his Dame,-with the same cool assurance
with which it seized upon everything within
its Teach,-tossed his fame and his achieve
ments upon the horns of their controversies as
their own exclusive legacy and possession, but
never stirred hand toward adjoining his grave
or even removing from it the evidences OF their
ingratitude and neglect. The self-probated
legatees of his great name and fame cOntented
themselves with turning into present political
cash whatever they might lay hands on CT his
effects. They never gave thought to any
thing relating to sentiment; never wasted
cent upon his monument or gave moments
time to planting a flower upon his grave.
Through two or three generations, forgetting
everything else, they have thrust their utter
most upon making the executors sale of his
effects profitable to the legatees. We have seen
more of it in the last five or six years than
heretofore, for the simple reason that antiques
have risen in value. And especially-withiQ
the last three-in bar-rOoms and saloons.
Jeffersonianism has had a newer life and
higher value put into it because of its age, just
as the old mahogany has advanced in price and
come into demand in the aesthetic places Of
public resort.
The love and admiration of jefferson in the
abstract have been the working capital of the
Democratic party for a great many years.
They have not succeeded in distracting public
attention from current issues, and In cOnse-
quence Democracy has gone to the wall. SO
now the purpose is to make it concrete. A little
more than year ago there was burst of patrl-
Otic fervOr in Tammany Hall in favor OF erect
ing a monument to jefferson as the founder OF
the Democratic party. 1t went off in cele-
bratiOn and the appointment Of committee.
Nothing has been heard of it since. Far be it
from us to doubt the sincerity of this demon
stration but we take leave to make this sug-
gestOn: Jefferson in the concrete lies at Mon
tcellO why not-since the natural heirs refuse
to permit the remains to be rem0ved-why
not have the Tammany Society proceed down
there in a body, with such natural accretiOns
as would come from other JetlersOnian Clubs
in the country, and after making the burying-
place presentable, decorate it with flowers
Why not, in short, give it IA Decoration Day of
its own Having used bis name through all
these years "for all 1t is WORTH" why not dec
crate his grave and leave his bones at peaceY

The opening of new and wonderfully pro-
ductiye oil wells in Pennsylvania will hardly
seem an unmixed blessing to some holders.
The new wells are in Warren County, on the
northern border of the State. Two of them,
opened prior to Saturday, were said to be
yielding over 1000 barrels daily each, and
now another is reported to be discharging
2, 400 barrels per day. In April the average
daily product was SO.093 barrels, so that an
addition of only or 6 per cent would not
cause much disturbance if the yield had not
previously been far in excess of present con-
sumption. AT the beginning of 1o79-about
three wears ago-the stock of oil on hand III
the producing regions was 4,615,299 barrels /;
in January, 1850, it was 8,SO0O0O barrels /;
in January, 1881, it was 20, 100000 barrels (;
at the beginning of this year 1t was 26, 100000
barrels; and at the end of April 1T was
IS, ,4s1 barrels This vast accumulation
has occurred in spite of a wonderful increase
in consumption, especially i'll foreign lands.
Exports during the first five months of 1878
were 91,O00,OOO gallons; in 1879,
1I4,OOO,O0O gallons in 1850, 124,000,0OO
