Back to the Fold.

As wasannounced in our dispatch
es on Saturday, the Lewisburg
Chronicle, the oldest paper in Union
county, which has heretofore encour-
aged the Independent movement,
came out on Saturday morning in an
enlarged form and in support oI TIE
regular Republican ticket. In its
leader announcing It's change OF
heart it says: "All hope of the union
of the two wings OF The Republican
party seems to have passed by. and
the time for campaign work is limit
ed To about two months. 1t appears
necessary, therefore, if the Demo

the country once and would do it
again if an opportunity was offered

strength in quarreling with each olii-
er is folly. We know it is impossi-
BILE to elect two Republican tickets /;
in fact, if under the existing circum-
stances we can elect one of these We
may think ourselves fortunate. The
Republican party is a party OF good

A Russian View of American Pros
perity.

The persual of the annual budget
of the Emitted States gives Us great
pleasure. We find that its income
is increasing, its expenses are de-
creasing, and its debts are constant
lv sinking. As regards financial
and economical affairs liz general,
America is the opposite of Europe.
In Europe, and particularly in Rus
sia, an abnormal financial condi-
ton has become a matter of course (;
so much so that we cannot help look
ing on the healthy state of finances
in the Uuited States as Il miracle in
State husbandry. The Americans
have reached tins happy state OF at
fairs through a stringent control OF
publican affairs, freedom OF private
initiative, and protective taFiA.
The annual expenses OF the United
States OF late years have been from
Sl6G.00U.00Oto Sl70,000,000. In 1881
the income was s360,000,000, and
1882, S403, 10000. Thus they had
over s200,000,000 available for d.
minishing the public debt. From
the European point of view this looks
like an impossible thing, and yet i
is a fact. The American army and
navy do not consume third OF the
whole income, as is the case in Eu-
rope, but only a small portion of it.
The civil war impoverished the Uni
ted States, but since then they have
had profound peace. The States
recovered. improved their husband
~. encouraged industry, and became
rich. A high tariff on imported
goods largely increased the income
al the Uuited Stales and served to
encourage national industry. After
while a financial crisis came. and
European economists propEesied
that on aecoGpt ,of the high tariff
the United States you'd suffer stag
nation of trade and INDUSTRY, and
general financial ruis. But the
Americans did not mind the Euro
pean false prophets, and deciinsd to
receive cheap European goods Offer
ed oa the condition of free trade.
l The result is that now the Amer
leans get s22sAl00o0in customs du-
ties. and besides are able to compete
in trade and industry 9Th the lore
most c; European cauntrloa.
An immense surplus Of inscme
expenses enable the United States T.
lower the public debs progressively.
In Europe public debts grew Is rap
idiv as mushrooms, while ia America
ssley melt like snow. According TO
the calculations OF the Secretary of
the Treasury, the United States will
pay its public debt in nine years,
if the present prospesl.r continues.
What salutary exa,si,b,e the
country Of the Yankees gives 10 AZ
Osd World countries ! All of this is
the result OF the work of the Repub-
hcan party.

now might live to see that day and
they might not. That abuses have
crept into the Republican party by
reason of corrupt men rising to the
top like flies in beer, we cannot de-
ny. That, however, is not the fault
OF the party. The people eompos-
ing it passively permit it and the
party gets the blame. These abuses
should be weeded out, the men
causing them given the grand bounce
and their place occupied by their
hetters.

to get the plant into some form different to

Fuchsias or any soft wooded plants there
are generally two shoots start from every
point that is stopped, and if one wants to
get a plant to assume pyramidal form,

cultivator must check the upward tendency
