United States amounted in value tC
D. 500 0l2, s3l against $l3s, 5l5,93S during

IS One is the gambling in the Chicago wheat
e pool, which has abnormally raised prices

= NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.-The
= National Board of Trade in its Conven-
ton at Chicago last week again adopted
resolution urging upon Congress The
necessity OF passing laws against the adul-
teration of commodities This is 4 subject
that lies so completely within the police
power of the several States that Con.
gress would only make middle by
legislaiing upon it, The Government
might as well be asked TO set up police
establishment for the detection Of burg.

sons and property.-Phila. Record.
THE BIC TRADE.-U nder its new
management the ST. Louis Reyuj!ic, form /
erly the Ropuj!naa, Is one o; the ablest |
and most enlightened newspapers OF |
either party in the country. In its issue
OF November TO- the Republic says:
apparently Governor Hill and his
friends imagine that The Democrats OF
the country are too stupid 10 understand
what has occurred in New York, or that
they will speedily forget it, We are in a
position ID assure him that he is mistaken.
The Democrats of the country at large
understand perfectly that their national
ticket was traded of to defeat In New
York city and Brooklyn, In order that
Governor Hill, as The pet and candidate
of the saloon, might be placed in I. e
Governors chair This is the damned
spot in Governor Hills record, which
he will feel no inclination to jublate over
four years hence, when he comes for
ward as the candidate of the New York ,
machine for the Presidential nomination
1892 Thus, according TO our sanguine
editorial brethren, the people may be
educated" up TO the point of choosing !
a Democratic President and majority of
Congress in 1892, and thus reforming the
tariff to the top of their bent This is a ,,
very hopeful view. Ii speaks well for
the courage and tenacity Of those who

il is the natural recourse OF those Jour :
mails that have entirely surrendered their !,
columns to tariff reform for the past four !,
months. They may have built up a cam ~

whatever il is, will be lost, unless the n
tariff reform clubs stand by them now d
