RISE AND ANS e

If the Suns persistency in urging the
nomination Of Mr.. Tilden rests upon the
conviction that he would accept, not.
withstanding his repeated declarations to
the contrary, it is quite ineligible; but
if our esteemed contemporary has nc
such conviction, it is asking of practical
men too great a sacrifice of sense to senti.
ment. brooklyn Eagle.
Upon this statement we ask the Sun
to rise and make answer. - Albany
Times.
This has the seeming of a proper de-
mand. If Mr.. Tilden, AZ the Sun moi
long ago gave reason to believe, will &C.
cept the Democratic nomination he
should give some token of his disposition
in the premises.
We doubt if the following paragraph
from the Sun of the 10th inst. will be
considered satisfactory by the Demo
cratic party
There is nothing in what Mr.. Tilden
has said that affects the considerations
now impelling the Democratic party to
offer to him the great testimonial of q
nomination to the Presidency without
conditions or qualifications, this being
the only way Of adequately manifesting
the confidence and affection of the party
toward its most illustrious member and
leader.
The continued equivocal silence Of Mr..
Tilden at present induces a great many
Democrats to believe that he will make
good his previous utterances and persist
in u additionally declining the nomina-
tion. This seems to be very much the
case now in New York, which is BOOM
ing for Flower.

A NEW TERROR.

A new and dire peril threatens the Re-
pnblic. In the very heat Of a Presiden-
tial campaign, Hon. James G. Blaine, a
man of whom every n has believed
under all circumstances that he loved his
country even when he was writing let
tiers to Mulligan-Mr. Blaine intends to
launch upon the country a hundred
thousand book agents. The political
book agent is a climax Of calamity to
which the country has never yet been
subjected. Even amid the evils of civil
war and the yellow fever and Eliza
Pinckston and the Western floods and
Tom Ochiltree and the life insurance
agent, this new terror has been spared
us.
The manifold terrors which will be
Forthcoming in the Blaine book agent
can be easily understood. The ordinary
life insurance or sewing machine man
can be easily disposed Of with a club or a
shotgun, and sometimes with a dog, but
the Blaine man will be exactly of a
character to pound the reluctant victim
senseless with a copy of his book If
necessary to bring him to terms. With
every copy of the book the unfortunate
buyer will also be requested to register
as a Blaine voter. If he resists he will
have a dismal chapter read to him, and
when he is very contumacious he will be
promptly read out of the party. Dis.
trict delegates on the regular Republican
plan will have to be kept in hiding, If
they are to represent their constituents
at all. and delegates at large from each
State will find themselves a~ssailed in
every direction by the book agents until
they swear for Blaine, or as a terrible
alternative, subscribe for the book. As
to dogs, one chapter will be enough, and
as for shotguns, the regular Krupp pat
tern could never penetrate a copy OF

BETTER DAYS FOR IRELAND.

Consul Piatt, at Cork, has again called
the attention Of American shippers to the
promising opening for American trade
now offered in Ireland. Less profitable
fields in far more distant parts of the
world are diligently canvassed by the
agents of American manufacturers, while
the nearest ports across the Atlantic are
almost entirely neglected. We send,
indeed, to England cargoes Of goods
which are reshipped to Ireland and sold
at a large profit. Our imports from Ire
land last year were but 5000, 900 in
value, while those from Scotland were
nearly $40, 0O0. 900. The exports to Ire
land were S43, 900, 900, exceeding those to
Scotland by 49, OO, 900. Consul Piatt, in
his report. says:
I believe a large trade could be estab-
lished in Ireland in most of the goods
exported from the United States. Great
quantities Of American goods find their
way into Ireland. under great disadvan-
tages, through English factors. What is
wanted in this country is a wide sys 6em
of local depots, where samples can be
permanently exhibited and orders taken.
Should any of our manufacturers of goods
suitable to this country wish to open an
Irish trade, l will be glad to give them
every information and assistance, and, il
necessary, to secure them local agents Of
established position and trustworthy
character. There are, it is thought, bet
ter times dawning upon this country; and
under the reform land laws there are mil.
lions Of pounds now being spent on the
necessaries of life in Ireland which were
formerly spent by aristocratic absentee
landlords resident in London and Paris;
SO that the field for American commerce
will be improving every year.

American Manufactures for ExDOrta.
ton.


PROVISIONS OF SENATOR BLAIR's DRAWBACK BrIr
Senator Blair has introduced bill providing that
on all articles wholly or partially manufactured OF
materials imported, on which customs duties have
been paid drawback OF ninety-nine per cent of
such duties shall be allowed when such manufac-
tured articles are exported. The object OF this pro-
posed legislation is to Increase the sale In foreign
markets OF our manufactured articles by cheapen-
ing the production OF the latter Under existing
law a drawback is allowed on many manufactured
articles which are half composed OF imported ma.
teral, when those articles are exported Mr.
Balrs plan 1s 10 extend this system SO that it will
include all articles made for export and containing
any proportion OF imported material For illustra-
t1on: locomotive Is partly made OF imported pro-
ducts but not nifty per cent OF the material enter
Ing into It's composition comes through the CUSTOM
house. Hence. when exported no drawback is al
lowed. perhaps not over fifteen per cent, Of the
material in locomotive is imported. The other
eighty-five per cent Is OF domestic products. Mr..
Blars proposition Is that when locomotive is ex-
ported drawback OF ninety nine per cent OF the
customs duties PAID upon the foreign material used
In It's construction Shall be allowed. The one per
cent retained is to cover the expense OF collecting
the duty when the raw material enters, and paying
IT back when the manufactured article Is exported
Senator Blair has received numerous letters CON-
mendlng his bill. He claims that the plan viii
enable our manufacturers 10 build up a foreign
trade as 1t will so reduce the cost of their prOduc-
tions to give them facilities for competing with
the cheaper labor OF old world countries and as the
law only allows drawback, when manufactured
goods are exported 1t will not it contended, inter-
!ere with domestic trade. Under the proposed
law manufacturers OF wOOlenS would get draWb back
their exported fabrics OF thirty OF the
cost OF production when these products were made
OF fine grades Of imported wools. Nail makers,
when making nails out OF imported pig iron for ex-
port could get drawback OF seven dollars per ton.
1t might be contended that this would put pr-
mium on the use OF foreign pig iron, and SO It
have any bearing upon articles made for domestic
use 1t would not anect nome trade.
