Trade Fairly Active for the UnfavorabIe Con-
dition Under Which the New Year Opens.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. A.
In most departments merchants reported trade
fairly active, when the wretched condition OF
the country roads and the still unfayor-
able weather is considered. What is now
wanted is genuine winter weather All
admit that the new year opens with
with the highest attainment in business safety
that has been known for a quarter of century,
and that is one most important element in
measuring the business of the future. The
tendency of all business has been to limit credit
both as to time and amount, and it has logically
produced healthy condition OF trade. Large
dealers now regard as a fair profit the percentage
that they once lost by the loose credit SYSTEM
/ and limitations upon credit in the business CEN
ters has, OF necessity, brought the whole country
nearer to the cash basis that is the only safe
foundation of business enterprise. This de-
parture from the reckless speculation of inflated
war times has worked incalculable good.
ness on surer basis. but it has
cheapened all the necessities of life and enlarged
consumption; and with our better business
methods, the general solvency OF the people. and
the universal confidence that prevails, the bust
ness outlook for 1886 is vastly better than the
record OF the year just closed. Grocers report
sugars as maintaining the strong position of
some days past The Cuba crop is again de-
layed by unfavorable weather. Cable advices
from Cienfuegos report general heavy rains delay
the crop again. and estimates of it's size being
somewhat modified. In the Sagua district it is
said the crop will be smaller than last year M.
Lchts's latest estimate Of the beet crop gives
All, 900 tons deficiency as compared with last
year. From the Philippine Islands cable advices
to Dec. 81 show $50, 900 tons had sailed for the
United States since JAM l, against 68. 086 tons
for the United States for the same time last
year; 81, 436 tons are now af1oat for the United
States, against 49, 438 tons at the same time last
year The stock in New York is, 1868 TONS
against 20, 1872 tons last year. The coffee market
is sluggish, with prices unchanged. Teas are
moving firmly. Oolongs are held with great
confidence, and there is some talk of speculative
movement Japans and other kinds are quiet.
The produce markets are still under a cloud.
Eggs drop to l6 cents, and poultry is weak at
quotations.
The local market was in much the same posi-
ton to-day as on Saturday. Bidding on Change
was quite spirited for spot stuff or early delivery.
The Board of Trade Price Current says OF
wheat: Local markets continue steady at quo
tations, with higher prices offered for Mediter-
ranean grades. RECEIPTS light. Futures dull
Markets both at seaboard and Western points
show sharp decline. Wequote:

BOURBON ANGUISH.

Because Mr.. Cleveland makes en-
actly the kind of President that al
honest men who voted for him ought
to have expected he would make, EN-
Uttered partizans turn on him and
rend him in pieces. Notice this from
a prominent Democratic journal:
When Henry Ward Beecher talks
politics he is apt to talk nonsense
The other day he expressed his po-
litical mind to reporter of the New
York Times. The Democratic
party" he said, "is double cared ass.
After being out tor twenty four years,
the Democratic party got back, and
now they fall on the man who helped
them ana try to tear him to pieces tol
honestly believing what they all pro
fessed.
This refers, of course, TO competi.
tive civil service examinations and &c
non-partisan appointments to Office
and it is nonsense. The Democracy
never was in favor of either the one OF
the other. All that it professed was a
wish to bring about an honest reform
Of the civil service by turning out Re-
publican office holders and appointing
honest and capable Democ. ats. There
is nothing either new or true in what
Beecher says on that subject.
Equally groundlcss in his assertion
that in 1884 Mr.. Cleveland was "the
man who helped them" On the con-
trary, he was the man who weakened
and divided them, and who, but fol
Burchard, would have beaten then
outright. 1t is now evident to every
person of common sense that in 1885,
Mr.. Cleveland was the weakest Candi
date the Democrats could have nomi
mated. They put him up to please the
Mugwumps, without rejecting tina
those interesting politicians could no
refuse to support any candidate, pleas
ing or displeasing, whose success would
CRAFTY their passionate desire to smash
Blaine. Had the Democracy nomi
mated Mr.. Hendricks, MIR. Mcdonald
Mr.. Bayard, Mr.. Trumbull, Mr.. Payne
Mr.. McLane, Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Car
Isle, or any other known Democratic
leader, he would have got all the Dem
ocratic votes that MIR. Cleveland lost
and all the Mugwump anti Blaine vote
as well, and would have carried tn,
State of New York not by a beggarl,
plurality Of thousand, but by rous
ing old-fashioned majority of fift,
thousand or seventy thousand.
In 1884 the Democrats were barrel,
saved IN spite OF their candidates weak
ness, and this gush about his havin.
helped them is balderdash.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-04-24

An incident recently occurred in tit
City of New York which very forclbly
Illustrates the existence Of the prejl-
dice, which persons of culture and re-
finement unconsciously cherish against
people OF color. The colonial secre-
tary of one of the British West India
Colonies was living in that city tempo
rarily in fashionable boarding house.
One day he met gentleman whom he
had known in the West Indies, and
took him and his wife home with him
to dinner. AS the guests of distin-
guished official they were treated by
the other boarders with great consid-
Grafton at the table and afterward in
the parlor. When they had gone, their
entertainer asked the people to guess
to what nationality they belonged
Some thought they were Spaniards, on
account of their dark color Others that
they were Italians all agreed that they
were elegant and accomplished. "I'll
tell you," said the officials, throwing
himself back in his chair in high en-
joyment of the situation; ''they are
just what you people here call nothing
but niggers."
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-04-24

THEY say that the friends of Frank
Hurd, the recently defeated Ohio
champion of free trade, vent their dis.
appointment in angry and profane GU
denunCiations IF Democrats who basel,
deserted their party by voting against !
Democratic contestant for 4 seat ir
Congress. Free trade hadn't all to dc
with iurd's defeat. The claim To his
seat was as weak as his free trade ar
guments are fallacious. If he had had
claim worth defending the Democrats
would have recognized it. You may
be sure of that. 1t is a cold day fol
a Democrat when a Democratic ma.
jority shuts a brother out, yet fifty
Democrats voted against him.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-04-24

WE have always believed that the
path of wisdom for the leaders of pro
hibition sentiment lies in the direction
of non partnership in their campaigns
and organization. 1t was eminently
proper therefore, that the convention
OF the Maryland State Temperance
Alliance which has just closed SITS
thirteenth annual session at Baltimore,
should re-afirm its adherence to non
sectarian and non-partizan methods, in
prosecuting its important work." The
recent gratifying success OF the friends
of prohibition in Rhode Island is largely
attributable to the non-partizan charac-
ter Of the prohibition campaign. The
leaders were wise enough to sink all
pretence of a third-party movement.
Neither Republicans nor Democrats
were solicited to transfer their allegi-
ance. Every argument was founded
on social and moral considerations
every appeal was to the reason and
conscience of the voter, not to his po-
litical CONNECTIONS. The Rhode Is
land press conCurs in asserting that it
was the absence of partnership which
carried the amendment. The question
was prudently kept altogether apart
from politics, and the Women's Chris
tan Temperance Union contributed
powerfully to impress upon the voters
the non-partizan character Of the cam
paign. Prohibition, as the title of a
party, did not figure IN the contest, and
there can be no doubt that the success
of the movement against the saloons is
due to this.

WE failed to see the sense of Re,
p Iblican senators fighting MIR. Cleve-
llnd's nominations. The only result
O. it was to strengthen the Democrats
b :hind the President. He is not max,
