Six copies of the weekly sentiuel for So
RIVER AND HARBoR MATTERS.

\ new proposition has been formulated in
reference TO the coming River and HarbOr
Appropriation Bill. 1t is contemplated to
work for appropriations in single lump
sufficient to complete whatever work may
be undertaken, instead of as heretofore, with
an amount Just sufficient to begin work
leaving il to dribble along in certain slowneSS
and uncertain amount from year to year.
II is surprising that the enormous losses
which have resulted from such loose methods
had not caused q revision of method before.
In many cases we know OF, work has been
begun, costly machinery and appurtenances
employed, or built, part of the material de-
livered and the work opened, when matters
would get into a tangie at Washington,
either from fOrgetfulness or through the
instrumentality OF the railroad lobby and
the whole plant, labor and materials left to
go to rack and ruin. But this does not
represent all the loss entailed, for the
work when prosecuted in such a spiritless
way proceeds slowly, half of a season being
required to gather up the ends of the pre-
ceding year before work can proceed regu-
larly. The supervising force remains nearly
constant, and the assistants, where they are
employed on a basis of short apPropria-
ton, being engaged principally in cleaning
up machinery or in otherwise preserving
such work as may be finished from com
plete ruin. A great deal OF unjust criticism
has been heaped upon these appropriations
through the fundamentally of railroad in
terests and others whose private interests
were interfered with by contemplated inn
provements. There has also been some crit
icism that was not unjust, because appro-
priations have occasionally been given for
wild or unworthy projects. But as a whole
the Improvements are demanded for The
public benefit, both on the seaboard and
lakes, and on our noble river system. That
a river like the Wabash should 'how I'M
vexed to the sea" by not even a flatbOat,

THE RECENT CITY CANVASS.

Good citizens everywhere will rejoice that
the city elections are over Never to such a
degree had iatulent hypocrisy assumed SO
high an air of virtue and fidelity as during
the past campaign. Under the cloak of pub
lie morals, in which restriction upon saloons
was blazoned as the rallying cry, was hidden
the most despotic unjust and undemocratic
scheme of taxation ever DEVISED scheme
of taxation that would throw all its burdens
upon the poor; that would compel the small
trader to pay the same money for the privi-
lege OF doing business as the most prosperous
rival. The mate iunkeyism OF society was
gathered under the Republican banner-a
banner with heroic traditions obscured with
the cOrruptions of long lease OF power
until the air teemed with stories of lawless
ness and disorder, and the most orderly
OF cities was reduced to a condition OF an
archy and riot.
1t is the habit OF the newspapers which
have helped on this wave OF insincerity to
berate those unlucky business men and
honest Republicans who are so fortunate as
to reside in the North End" because they
did not turn out ca HGsse and support
their favorite romance OF riot. 1t bespeaks
bat little for the judgment of such papers
that their watery pretenses should be ex7
pected to obtain credence, or that business
men should he endowed with so little sense
as to fail to puncture its thin disguise of
cant that clotted their utterances.
That the Democratic ticket was in all re-
spects the best that could have been pro-
yided, may be a matter of doubt that the
Republican ticket contained some good ma
teria!, is beyond question. We would have
Jared worse had our opponents conducted
the campaign with less blind, ill-judged and
dishonest pretenses; had not many Republi-
cans become disguised with the hypocrisy
OF the issue raised, and the insidiousness
with which its real purposes were concealed.
The result should teach two things-that
honesty is the best policy in politics as in
other things; and that attempts TO divide
our population into bureaus and working
men. the ono the saviors of society the
other menacing its foundations, are both
dangerous and futile. That the result was
not more favorable is a curious commentary
on the power of sophistry over the weak
minded and fearful few, who see the COM
mune in every street corner conversation and
are every ready to raise the standard of Op-
preston 10

tenance IS about the same ia any event, and
draws just that much from the general store.
If . railroad does its business below paw
ing rate, il must either discharge its help or
reduce the income it will receive. In the
one case the help must consume the capital
it has saved, or depend upon public support
IN the other, all mercantil transactions are
reduced by the total amount of the income
so cut of, and in the end this Will be no
saving whatever, but a direct loss owing to
equilibrium between supply and demand
having been disturbed.
In all the arguments of means for the
stimulation of business activity we have
noticed, this action on the part of railroad
managers is the first sign that way has
been found, and that the example will be
largely followed is certain if the scheme is
persevered in. So much of American CAPT

The depression i'll the price of wheat Is the
only tangible reason that business should
lag, and that wheat speculation has taken
up 50 much of the imagination of the bust
ness world may be due this continued timid-
ity. But wheat really makes up but little
of this country's wealth, and has really but
little TO do.with the present stagnation in
trade if we except the one of conservatism
induced BY the popular misapprehensiOn
that American prosperity was bound up in
that production. We believe if this policy
OF the railroads were generally initiated, an
era of prosperity would soon follow. Pros
perity is more sure with equitable dealing
than cheapness.

FALsE ECONOMY nm BUSINESS.

IL is the habit of pseudo political econO-
mists to preach the doctrine of eheapness as
the ultima Hulc of human perfection in Gov
eminent and social life. Theories of the
coming millennium have been made Synon-
ymous with the good time coming when as
much would be purchased with cent as
could have been had for a dollar i'm the bar
barous days in which we unfortunately find
ourselves. This sentiment would be harm
less enough if it were merely the idle dream
of Preside story. But unfortunately il has
been preached from pulpit and press-im-
pressed in the first reading book placed into
the young cnild's hands, and continued
through the wIangles of university
seniors until it has gained a hold
on the popular mind that time and
hard times only can eradicate. Anent
the above, many of our railroad mana
gers have united to restore paying rates for
every class OF their business. Low rates
have not benefited the general business of
the GENTRY so much as they have injured
the best interests contained in the railroads.
IL may be taken as an axiom that anv pro-
ducton whatever, il sold below its costs,
will injure the party buying as much as the
party selling. The rules of economy that
govern private life can only be accepted in a
political sense when applied to a nation as n
whole, or, for that matter, to any number OF
nations if their commercial relations are
close and complicated. First, in the modest
sense, labor must live, and there is
no national economy in reducing
its share in the general product,
by reductions OF wages or dispensing with it
by labor-saving machinery. If the man is
denied his share through any possible
means, he becomes tramp, or, perhaps, he
goes to Jail; but in any event he is main.
