FINAsCE AND TRADE.

The New York Public reports exchanges
as being on very large scsle last week.
Nineteen cities reported larger exchanges
than those of the corresponding week last
year, against fourteen on November 11t6,
aud there is much less indication of wild and
dangerous speculation in products. In New
York, however, speculation was rampant,
and nearly a third of the exchanges are due
to that cause, but the other exchanges
amount TO twelve per cent. more than those
of the corresponding week last year. The
total exchanges amounted to 1870, O9O, $50
against S1,2l0,164,4l2 the preceding year,
and 81 1868, 6S7,3S6 the preceding week.
The reports from Chicsgo, Cincinnati, Louis
vile and Milwaukee are more favorable
this week, as we'll as those from Peoria and
Springfield, but Philadelphia makes a less
favorable statement. New York, outside of
speculation, Is doing better than any
other of the large cities. At nearly all
the minor towns, the returns give
evidence of large and speedy trade, ex-
cseding that of any previous year. But
there is irregularity; last week eight of he
twelve chief cities fell behind, and it can
hardly be inferred that business is in an en-.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

There is something in the observance of
Thanksgiving Day that should sroase the
best feelings within US. Our country, the
locality in which we dwell, the occupations
with which We are connected, and our own
personal circumstances, have all been affected
during the past year by the providence OF
Him who made all, and whose unceasing
protection governs and guides all. Whether
We regard that providence as having arranged
laws az "the beginning" which work out in
orderly effect the mission for which they
were intended, or whether we consider such
providence special act for the especial 90
cSsion, in either case the blessings we have
enjoyed have come from the benevoIence Of
Him whose word declares that "God is Love-
Our country has been SO prosperous that not
only have our own people enjoyed safety and
prosperity, but thousands, have come among
us from foreign lands, eager to participate in
our welfare and share in our liberties. Each
State and Territory, each city town and village
has had Its share of heavens mercies. Each
citizen, whatever of the sorrows co mmon 10
our race he may have had to endure, has
not had to bear the additional burdens that
arbitrary government, general Ignorance, abb
ject superstition, inhospitable climate, epi-
denies, floods, earthquakes, war and vio-
ience have dealt out in other portions of the
inhabited world. Personally, in our indi-
vidual experience, in our family ties, in our
business pursuits, have we nothing this
Thanksgiving morning for which TO be CRATE
full? Should we not recall to-day the re-
membrance of the national blessings in which
We share, and the blessings which we have
individually enjoyed? Faiths differ, people
differ in cast of mind as in complexion and
other physical qualities, but we have The
same hope, aud can each be thankful in the
mode we cherish. Shall we not all be
one in thanksgiving to-day? Our
funess. The sour visage, the harsh
word, the uncharitable thought are
not consonant with the Joy, the graft
tude, with which we receive the good things
that have come to US during the past year.
Let our tables be filled with good cheer, let
our hearts rejoice, let glad accents mount
from our lips; and while we joy let us spread
Joy. There is some empty table we can fill,
some quiveriug lip upon which we can bring
a smile, some aching heart that we can re-
lieve OF its burden. It is Thanksgiving Day.
Let these things be done; let the fortunate
aid the unfortunate to forget their SORROWS
this day, so that with cheerfulness they, too,
may find solid grounds for fervent thanks
giving.

THE FAITH CUBE.

TITLES AND KEPUnL1oASs1u.

There is one singular anomaly in the
French republic. While it proclaims equal.
lily 1t practices aristocrscy, and has its duk.s
and counts and lords. These titles have no
support in law, but custom, foolishly enough,
supports them, as custom no less foolishly
supports "Your Homer" and "Your Excel
lency" among ourselves. There is one happy
thing that may end in making these titles
ridiculous, and 80 bsnishing them from de-
cent use, that as any OF US in this country
may become majors, colonies, honorables
and excellencies, so any Frenchman can be-
come seigneur, count or marquis. The dit
ference is that, with us, titles are usually
conferred upon a man by his acquaintance
and fellow-townsmen, aud are left off when
the donors please; in France distinguished
aristocratic appellations are usually assumed
by individuals or families whose conceit
or impudence delights in decking them
selves in such false distinctions. In
the Paris Figaro a keen writer, under
the nom de plume of "Toison dor" is busiiy
at work exposing many OF these assumptions
which goes to the length of printing the
self assumed title on the cards of those who
steal an aristocratic designation, and without
coats-of-arms unsanctioned by any college
of heraldry. The more Wholesale this prac-
tice becomes, the greater the number OF
these sham mobiles, the sooner we may expect
the spurious aristocracy that apes the airs
and exhibits the graces of greatness and no.
bility will perish in the mud whence it was
drawn. Those who were real aristocrats |
under monarchical government are intensely /
disguised at seeing their cherished jewel OF |
rank treated as a common repository from
which any foo, with impudence enough, may
draw at his will. But in vain do the 9ronde |
5lobLeSse shake their aristocratic skirts with |
indignation. When any Tom, Dick or Harry,
who has got rich at the mill or the counter,
can haunt title with the best Of them and
paint his coat-of-arms on the panel of his
carriage, duke, count or marquis will end in
being of no more value than the plain citizen
title of Monsieur. GAIL the blood of all the
Howards" will not suffice to attach honor 10
an aIistocratic title that any retired soap
boiler or snuff manufacturer can assume at
will. Public ridicule and a nations scorn-
full laughter will, in the end, probably do

a CURIOUS RESULT OF PROrECTI

a CURIOUS RESULT OF PROTECTION.
One OF the curious results of protection
ls to make various articles, produced in our
own country, dearer than they would be if
We had to import them altogether from
abroad, and consequently higher in price
than they are in countries where they are
not produced. One OF these is sugar, an
article produced within very restricted
area Of the United States, aud in quantity
6esring but small proportion to the whole
amount OF sugar we consume. 1t is true
that we have reciprocal treaty with Tahiti
by which portion OF untaxed sugar reaches
our Pacific coast, but that does not change
the principle OF The system. On account of
this fraction of our sugar receipts a heavy
protective tax is placed upon every pound of
sugar we consume. The system of protecting
infant industries was introduced on the pre-
tense that we should aid these industries
to support themselves by their own strength
but how can this plea be urged for sugar,
and for other things circumstanced as sugar
Is. Sugar, as We have said, can be grown
upon only narrow acreage of our national
domain. Protection will neither soften the
rigor of climate nor increase the adaptation
of soil to sugar cultivation. The tax, there
fore, cannot convert this infant industry into
q full-grown industry able tie supply the
consumptive wants of the country, and 10
stand at some future day successful COM
petitor against sugar grown within the
tropics. Why, then, should every man,
woman and child in the United States be
compelled to aid in supporting an infant
industry that can never rise above the in
fantile condition? Why should we be COM
PEELED 10 pay more for an article of which
we can produce little tha an those countries
pay that cannot produce pound of ?
There are two interests-that OF the con-
sumers and that of the growers. The grow
ers are few and the consumers are many,
and why, finally, must the interest of the
many be sacrificed to those of the few? A
sense reply to these questions will
not be in favor of a system that robe the
many to favor the few.
