did himself Injustice, in representing the COM
mcrca men of one locality. The business men
of the whole country have one interest in this
matter, and one feeling, and MIR. llcwitts pro-
found disgust and keen regret are shared by
conservative and practical business men in
every part of the country, who are Democrats,
but who know that it involves terrible risk to
ntrust the affairs of the Nation to party so ig-
norant, so wrong headed, and so prone to do
mischief.
Mr.. Phelps, on the other hand is able to make
n stronger and a holder speech against unwlse
legislation, without once referring to the con-
duct of his own party. Twcnty-four years that
party has had power to interfere with domestic
commerce in the hope of regulating" it and
removing real or supposed abuses. 1t has
wisely refrained, believing with Mr. Phelps that
incomparably better results must surely be at
tanned by the free operation of natural laws and
individual interests. Thus Mr.. Phelps is able
TO point To the fact that the rates charged for
transportation are lower here than anywhere
else in the world, and lower now in this country
than ever before, that the people are better and
more faithfully served in every respect, and
that the irresistible tendency is toward con-
slant improvement. Greater improvement has
been realized, without Governmental re-
strictiOn, than the advocates of that policy ten
years ago, twenty years ago, thought 1t
possible ever to realize by means of any restric-
tons. Public opinion, constantly advancing,
demands each year more and more from the
transporting companies, and as MIR. Phelps
shows, that opinion is exceedingly powerful
with the men who are the real managers of
great corporations.
These gentlemen, Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Phelps,
both faithfully express the feelings and opinions
of the conservative and practical business men
of the whole country. Such men profoundly dis
trust the Democratic party, precisely because it
Is perpetually playing the demagogue, and
pandcrng to ignorant prejudice at the cost of
peril to great public interests. Mr.. Hewitt
knows that his action in the last campaign eX-
posed the country to terrible peril. Mr.. Phelps
is sustained in defeat by the Consciousness that
he did all that he could to save the country from

encouraging, even though 1t may deepen the
contrast with many self-indulgcnt tendencies
of modern society.
Few who live warmly and well can at all duly
realize what it is that both rescuers and rescued
have to endure at such a season. The seamen OF
the wrecked vessel have very likely been
exposed for two or three days to fierce gales
and whelmrg seas. They have probably been
wet through with icc-cod water all that time.
They have been able to snatch only some
coarse cold food at long intervals. They have
worked until only the excitement of danger
could keep them up. And after all this pri-
walton, exposure, and exhausting labor comes
the catastrophe. The vessel goes ashore or
on a reef rock or shoal. In either case the peril
of being washed overheard is one OF the first
encountered. Then probably the crew lash
themselves in the rigging if the masts hold,
aud there they hang, often through raging
winter nights, the mercury perhaps below zero,
the wind fierce enough to pierce through the
thckest clothing, with the spray drenching
them. bowling backncss all around them and
death at their feet.
To their rescue, springing from warm beds
out into the wild night, go the lfe-saving crew.
Often their deadly peril begins in the launch
ing of the ife-boat. Sometimes they are
spilled into the surf. Sometimes they clear it,
And then through mountainous waves they
make their logged way, frequently to find that

employ current slang phrase, "no money In

THO SPEECHES CONrRISTED.


The opinion held of the Democratic party by
the business men not only of Ncw-York but of
all other commercial, manufacturing and iinan-
cal centres, was singually illustrated by the
two speeches of Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Phelps on
Friday. The two gentlemen are sharply OPP
posed TO each other as parlisans. Both have
large means ; both have inuestcd largely in
undertakings which the policy of the Govern
mcnt may affect, and both have also still
larger personal and pecuniary interest in the
general prosperity OF the country; but M,.

The attempt to turn the Stock Exchange
into variety show on the day before Christmas
was less successful yesterday than usual. This
may have been due to the fact that the per-
