A CURE FOR CORNERS.

The practices of cornering products and
holding them for higher prices is one that is
very injurious to commerce. The transac-
tions being purely specula tive, and all sorts
of contingencies possible, no one, in ordinary
cases, can tell what will be the figure of the
selling price, EoT, what is perhaps worse,
when the cornered merchandise will come
into the market. 1t is obvious that all this
uncertainty about price, and the impossi-
bility OF foreseeing when the market will be
deluged by the cornered article coming into
it, greatly deranges commerce, makes it diff
cult TO buy with any approach toward conf
dence, and creates hesitation about the
amount of stock to b. held. Attempts there
fore have been made to check the practice of
"corneriag" by creating obstacles in the way
OF the monopolizing buyer, but those attempts
have always failed, which lsads the New
York Tribune to suggest another course. 1t
asserts that while every man has right TO
buy all the wheat in the country If he can,
no man has a right to sell what does not
belong to him; to di-pose of wheat or cotton
that is in other hands than his own. This
points out the direction legislation, if it can
do anything, should take; man should be
held accountable for the fraud of selling
what belongs TO other people.

vuLGAR LABoa.

Before the war slavery Eas opposed be-
cause it made sristocrats OF the Southern
people, and impressed the rising generation
with the belief that mental labor was dis
graceful and should only be performed BY a
serviIe race. But the same fanatics who op-
posed slavery because it degraded labor, are
now sustaining President Arthur's veto of the
Chinese bill upon the ground that we need
mental laborers such "a was found during the
days of slavery. A leading Northern Re
publican. one who did much to IRE the
Northern heart against slavery and the
Southern people, now insists that We are sadly
in need of an inferior class, like the Chinese,
to do avulgar work" What confession for
an original abolitionistl The sudden ex-
tinction of slavery and the loss OF fortune
by the ravages of war, reduced the Southern
people to penury, and to prevent starvation
they gladly accepted any kind Of work OIL

that there is DO such thing as vulgar work,
aud that Tor poor man not to work and not

should advocate the immigration of slaves

women have exchanged their pianos for the
sewing machine, their carriages for the
wash-tub, and they know no such
thing as vulgar labor. The women
of the South are no longer afraid of frost,
rain. sunshine and freckles. They are ro-
bust, athletic and hearty. The men have
become horny handed laborers and no longer
regard work as vulgar. The rising genera
ton has drifted away from the sentimental
and lakadaisical customs which their ances-
try learned during the days of slavery when
they lived on smbrosia and the wings OF
humming-birds. The men and women of
the South accepted the situation forced upon
them by the abolition of slavery, and they
will oppose the new slavery which it is pro-
poeed to create for the purpose of relieving
the patricians OF vulgar work. African
slavery was bad enough, but Chinese slavery
would be much worse.

TRADE FACrs AND INDIcATIoN,


In its resume of the business week the New
York Public gives the total exchanges for the
week at 81 SOC, l52, against 81 ,246, 175 s15
the previous week, and 81 ,064 ,9l0,265 the
corresponding week the year before. The
increase of the week was 81 in New York
and 14.6 out of it, over the same time last
year. The returns show that business is de-
eidedly irregular, though generally still quite
large. The export returns of the last five
weeks indicate a large decline in value
during March, but reports of Pacific wheat
ports are not included. Stocks that had been
srii6cially advanced have suffered during
the week. The Chicago grain market ha,
been in Suspicious condition, with a de-
cline of ak cents or more in options for fu-
so great that every decline is suspected to be
q trick to induce people to sell what they
have not got to deliver. The corn market APP
pears to be very strong, scarcely declining at
all when wheat becomes weak and receipts are
remarkably light. The Milwaukee specula-
tor buys when people are willing to sell who
have nothing to deliver; if that helps to &C.
cure corner that is all he cares. The whole
cJrner business lies in this, and the question
for legislation to consider is whether il is
proper or lawful for any man to sell what he
does not own, and what is the properly OF
somebody else. The actual owner has a
right to sell for delivery next week or year,
or in fifty years, and purchaser may law
fully buy all be dares to sell and corner him
if he can, and bleed him of mis- last dollar,
but has he who owns nothing the same right?
In an average transaction the buyer and
seller each part with what they hold for
something they desire more than what they
have, and each is benefited by the transac.
ton; but when what one OF the parties gains
the other necessarily loses, then the trans.
action is gambling, not business. Labor
strikes are beginning and may prove serious
and lasting. Some people suspect there il
secret planning behind many apparently
independent movements. The general con-
nection with the organization of the Knights
of Labor may have something to do with it,
but there is no proof OF it apparent. The
main fact lies in the increase in the price OF
living in the past year, an increase which
for ordinary households amounts probably
TO twenty per cent. They feel this, and at
the same time they see that the product OF
their labor brings higher prices, and ask
why that labor should not be paid higher
also. They do not see that the expense OF
production to the en- ployer is higher. Both
employer and employed have lived mere
the last three good years, and
are not disposed TO cease doing so. There
are sufficient causes, therefore, for strikes
without the existence of secre: influences,
among them the fact that there are EN-
ployers who are very willing to stop prsduc-
tion until they have reduced stocks. The
effects of the droutb of last summer have
produced privations which deserve sym
pathy, and which should promote efforts to
allsy the tendency Of trades unions to pre-
mote strife and intensity resistance.

10 nearly every town, city and neighsor
hood there resides large family that are

The grandfathers and grandmOthers, the
cousins, step-brothers and sisters, are so nu-
merous that the scandal mongers engage in
their favorite pastine with great caution,
Tor fear Of defaming some one Of the numer-
Gus kin. Among this large family OF rela-
lions there is always found solid old bell
wether, to whom all others look up, and
whose advice il az sacred as all the ten COM
maudments. This leader is a good citizen,
has made competency by honest industry,
Is a descon in the church, has much influence
in the county, and when any Of the family
get into trouble they by 10 him for aid and
they are sure to get il. The Front street mer-
chants occupy the same position as this good
man. They have a large family of rela-
lions residing in the radius of country
tributary 70 Memphis, and they never weary
aiding their unfortunate relations. The
Front street merchants never fail 10 respond
10 legitimate appeals tor help. They have
contributed largely to the building Of many
OF the country churches, and in times OF
overflow or other calamities they are always
first and foremost in ministering to the
" ints of the unfortunate. The Iiberality of
these merchants has recently been illustr ated
in the amount they have subscribed TO the
Nash library. Front street merchants have
furnished nearly all the money that has yet
been subscribed to this important enterprise.
The literary nfes-ei Memphis often comment
on the want of literary taste among Front
street merchants, but the amount subscribed
to the Nah library shows who are the
substantial friends to everything that pro-
NOTES the public interest. The merchants of
Front street have performed their whole duty
in this nobls effort to create public library.
If others will show the same liberality $780,
coo can be raised in behalf Of this land able
enterprise 1t Is hoped by every good citizen
that the Nash library will not be failure.
Influenced by that large current Of love and
charity, which are the electric principles
that moves men to the best and most con-
genial impulses in them, and which softens
the heart, expands the brain, and broadens
the current OF mems thoughts, Mr.. Nash has
made princely donation to the people OF
Memphis. As steam is generated by warmth,
10 should the hearts of our people be
liberalized by the generosity of this warm
hearted stranger. The sum offered to Mem
phis by Mr.. Nash, upon the terms proposed
by him, would be gladly accepted by other
cities, and it is hoped that the money re-
quired to insure the construction of the
Nash library will be raised at once.

THE DEc.,sv OF uoxopoL,

The opponents of monopoly are making
vast progress. 1t will be remembered that,
last year, when the monopolist meeting was
held in Chicago, the prOtectionists manifested
a strong aggressive feeling. An assertion
that what is wanted is not a tariff for reve-
nue. with incidental protection, but tariff
for protection with incidental revenue, was
warmly received there. Monopolists were
warned that their opponents would strive to
carry their objects by detail; that they would
select first one article, then another, out OF
the tariff list, and agitate until the duty
upou that article was reduced. No quarter,
il was urged, must be given by the monopo-
list in such cases, but every attempt Of
the kind was to be bitterly opposed. Where
such action Of those opposing monopoly
had been successful, as in the case of qui-
nine in Congress and iron ties in the courts,
measures were 10 be taken to bring
both back to their original tariff rates. Now
all this has changed. The monopolists are re-
duced to defensive and apologize attitude.
The opposition to their exaction of tribute
from the people is resisted more strongly
month by month. Many of their own peo-
PIE acknowledge to-day that revision OF
the details of the tariff is necessary, and
even plead that there shall be no delay In
establishing just tariff. Many men OF en-
inence are declaring that it is unconstitu-
tionaI for Congress TO use the authority
givea them to tax for the payment OF the
debts, and the maintenance OF its
welfare, into system of protection for
special industries at the expense of people
engaged in other industries. This misuse of
