The Business Depression.
Toledo Blade.

Toledo Blade.
The business and Industrial outlook
is gloomy for the coming winter. The
last two weeks have shown large in
crease in the number of failures. great
majority Of which were in the south aud
west. The past week has been marked
ny large reductions in wages, and by re-
auctions in the hours Of labor, in iron
mills and coal mines, and in a great va
riety of our most important Manufac-
turing industries. True, there were
some establishments which had been
idle that resumed work; but the balance
was on the other side.
The business arrangements that have
troubled us, in common with other
countries, for oyer year past, are now
affecting more particularly the working
people. Wages are coming down all
along the line, or the equivalent is Oc-
curing-the hours of labor are dimin-
ished, and the amount the wOrkmen re-
ceive lessen in the same ratio.
This depression of trade and manufac-
lures is not confined to the United States
We are suffering less than they are in
England, or even in France. But the
noticeable fact that things have been
worse for the past two weeks-that the
number of failures has increased largely
that the paralysis Of the labor market
has become greater-can be attributed
to but one cause.-the election of DEM
Ocratic President. Capital is cOnserva-
tive and timid:' it breads the unknown,
the untried. The past record of the
Democratic party as the uphOlder of
Free Trade, the opponent of the National
banking system, the antagonist of the
entire economic policy of the Republi.
can party. has led to lack of confidence
on the part of the business men of the
country. They distrast it. Hence every
one is trying to take in sail. to reduce
the chances of loss to minimum, if the
expected storm does come.
This is the very state Of things that
tends to bring on panic. Caution is
wise, bnt to be over cautious may precip-
itate the very trouble that is dreaded.
So far as the signs of the times are to be
diseerned, they mark the close of an era
of liquidation. Things will speedily
improve If business moves quietly along
in its accustomed channels, and no pre-
cipitate rush of all to secure themselves
brings on panic. True, there is wide
spread distrust of the Incoming Demo-
cratic administration; but its hands are
tied by the Republican Senate. There
can be NO reduction of the tariff with the
Republican Upper House blocking the
way. Then the new house of Represen-
tatives that comes In on March 4th has
the number of Free Trade fanatics in 1t
considerably reduced-and Republican
Senate still to hold it in check. And in
1886, the elections for Congress are safe
TO eliminate Free Traders pretty thor
Oughly from the House. The tariff is
one of the issues ever which the battle
is still going on. and the lesson of 1884
is, that where the people understood the
question they favored Protection. The
Free Traders must go. And the finan-
cial policy Of the Government can I'M
dergo no great change while the Senate
is Republican-as it will be through
administration.

What The South Lost.

General William Preston, Of Kentucky
ex-Unitsd States Minister to Spain, and
afterward chief Of staff to General Al
bert s. Johnson, was asked by Sir Garnet
WoIseley, present commander of the
English army, at dinner party at Mon
treal, il the Southern States In the civil
war in America could not have held out
longer. General Preston replied; "As a
mere matter of physical endurance, yes;
but do you know, sir. that in the four
years of war through which we passed,
the South alone, with its few millions OF
people, lost more men in battle than
England did in all its wars from VIII
liam the Conqueror to Queen Victorian"

An English Opinion Of Blame.

LONDON, June 9.-Under the heading
"a Beaconsfield Beyond the Seas" the
Pail Mall Gazette says: Blaine's nomi-
nation is the most notable event for En-
gland since Lincoln was assassinated.
Wherever Blaine can GUST the British
from the position they hold over the
American continent he will use his in
f1uence to push the trade of America.
His menacing intimation that he disre-
garded the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is an
evil augury for the future relations of
England and America. His intima-
tions in Peru were most ominous. He
disliked England to win commercial
triumphs in the fields belonging to
America. England will watch with ex-
treme solicitude the progress of the CAM
paign.
The Times says: Blaine's nomina-
ton will be received with satisfaction.
Not only has he been the most popular
but the most conspicuous and respected
politician in the republican party, which
has done itself honor by nominating SO
we'll known and distinguished man.
IF the democrats should make up their
minds to definite and reasonable free
trade policy they certainly will be more
in sympathy with this side of the At
lantic than hitherto. In the meantime
we congratulate the country on the
choice of a candidate SO eminently suit
ed as Blaine to represent and uphold the
dignity of the United States.

Frlghtful Accident.

HELENA, June 9.-From two gentle
men who arrived in Helena this morn
ing direct from Thompson Falls, the
particulars of frightful accident have
been learned. Mr.. Ionan says he was
present watching the ferry boat across
the Clark's Fork of the Columbia at
Thompson Falls, which was loaded
with eleven men, who were going into
the mines, and thirteen pack animals,
each packed with 800 pounds Of supplies
for Eagle City and Murray. When they
reached about the middle of the power
full current, the wire rope broke, and
the boat with its living freight rushed
down to the mad rapids and over the
Falls some three hundred yards below,
where the passengers found themselves
at the mercy of the waves. They cast
themselves from the boat into the water
and tried to save their lives in that way,
but only two out of the whole number
are known to have been saved, and they
stayed on the boat, climbing up on the
outrigs. When the boat struck the
Belknap bridge the pack animals were
lost, with the exception of two, that
managed to swim ashore. Two boys
secured skiff and started off to rescue
the unfortunates, but the boat was also
swamped and they were drowned. Mr..
Hugh Kirkendall, of Helena, crossed
on the boat about half an hour before
the accident.

The Helena left Bismarck for this
city on Tuesday, June Sd. Among her
passengers were the wife and daughter
of Superintendent Graham of the Nor
thern Pacific.
A telegram states that the Benton left
Bismarck Monday with the largest
load of the season and full of passengers,
which does not look as if navigation has
slackened any on the upper N Missouri.
The steamer Bachelor, of the Power
line, tied up at the levee early Monday
morning, III days out from Bismarck,
which is a quick trip considering her
load of about 800 tons. Capt. Paul had
on board SO recruits for Fort Assinaboine
but one of them got left behind at one OF
the wood yards and has not been heard
of since

Was He a Road Agente

GLENDIvE, Mont, May 31.-In the
case Of the murdered man discovered in
the river below here, the coroner found
an ak wound over the left eye, reaching
from the bridge of the nose to the tenn
pie, and another cash over the left ear.
His throat was cut, and there was a
bullet hole in the region of the heart !:
besides, there were two holes on each
side, just forware of the arms. Both legs
were cut off at the junction of the up
per and middle third of thigh bone. He
had been dead about three weeks. The
body was nude. The deceased was
about fifty years old, had dark hair,
somewhat silvered; supposed to be the
body of Jim Smith. a pal of McArthur's,
presumed to have been fatally shot by
Sergeant Conrad at the attempt to rob
Paymaster Whipple. The body was
mutilated to prevent Identification.
Color is given to this theory from the
fact of his death about that time. The
highwaymen burned his clothing at
their first camp after the flight.

away by the musicians, who received
enormous pay for their rservices. He be-
lieved it was wrong. as Chicagoan, to
patronize such AN entertainment But
what does he think of this convention
business? There are at least 10000
strangers in the city, brought there di-
rectly or indirectly by the convention.
They will each average at least a week
in the time spent here, nd will spend
on an average at least 81 day. That is
they will leave considerably more than
half million dollars behind them just
for hotel and necessary expenses. We
would suggest the propriety of the city
of Fort Benton inviting the republicans
to hold their next national convention
in the river metropolis. 1t would be
fine thing to have convention that
would leave half million dollars among
our merchants, and then if we could get
the democratic convention also, why
there is a million more. The profits
that could be figured out would leave
those of the chicken business, the bee
business and sheep raising away in the
shade. Think of it; 10000 visitors, and
no railroad yet. L. w. 2.

From the Battlefield of Victory to the
Irap-holes Of Wall Street.

| There is not in America another cIti
/ that OF Gen. Grant.
| He was honored by the whole WORLD
as the illustrious compeer of Napoleon
for his great military achievements in
our civil rebellion. AS a general, the
lustre OF his name remains as brilliant
as ever; it has passed into history, and
it will be handed down to honor for ages
to come. Civic honors were crowded
upon his military fame by his election
to the presidency for two terms. His
first term as the executive head of the
| United States would have added fresh
laurels to his name had he then retired
from the public service; but the tide of
political favor carried him again to the
White House, and the second four years
OF his presidency are we'll remembered
as creating much criticism in his own
party ranks. And yet, when General
| Grant was succeeded by Hayes, his
his tour around the world, in which the
| crowned heads of empires and king
doms did homage to his greatness, he
| returned to his native country, and the
famous struggle for third nomination
for the presidency, in which ''306n dele
gates at Chicago, led by Roscoe Conk-
ling, proved their faith in Grant, is and
ever will be the prominent episode in
political annals that command adnli ra-
ton, even from the then anti Grant fac
ton.
Having attained the pinnacle of honor
in public life, the illustrious general
and ex-president turned his steps into
Wall street.-the Mecca of sharks and
spectators, expecting to score brilliant
victories in the financial world. Clus-
terlng around his name were those Of
James D. Fish. Ferdinand Ward and
others whose checks were good for mil
lions when the firm of Grant ..& Ward
first swung its sign to the gates of Wall
street, and the business of the concern
grew into a magnitude Of immense pro-
portions.
Not until the late crash IN Wall street
was it ever surmised, even by General
Grant himself, what the character of
the operations of the firm were. The
general was at no time active in the
management Of the affairs of the bank,
trusting the details to his young partner
Ward. We need not repeat the scandal
Gus developments that have become
pablo since the suspension of the firm,
and the incarceration in Jail of Ferdin-
and Ward; and it is to be regretted that
after SO long an honorable career, Gen.
Grant should thus find himself founder
ing in the midst of financial wreck,
though his name and character are as
unsullied as ever.
General Grant is aging very rapidly.
Our illustration, which is an accurate
likeness as he appears to-day, lacks the
vitality that characterized his portraits
only few years ago. He has surrend-
cred all his property and assets to the
creditors of the firm. These are trying
hours to General Grant, but the SYM
pathy of the whole nation is with him,
regardless of political bias.
