A recent writer In current review, IN
speaking OF the elements, Y6nal and
vile, that have controlled Ameflcal pol
itica Tor the past decade, well says:
"This period has marked the growth
Of special privileges, OF certain inter
eats moulding our legislation 10 that
they will be enabled 10 fatten upon The
masses OF tho community, This Ia most
conspicuous Ia our whole tarllf inlquity,
This 10 the era OF enormous and mon
strous fortunes, always traceable 10
some form OF monopoly or special
privilege. IL will be memorable as the
period Of the advent Of that anomaly,
the American tramp" IL iB marked
by the Developments Of n lavish, osten'
tatious luxury, that makes European
aristocraoy marvel aud reach out its
tender clutch for the marriageable,
well lowered daughters. Yet we have
the development OF an abject, miaer
Oble pauptrism that puts the poor,
down trOdden European, anxious TO Inn
migrate, between the devil and the
deep sea-
The laboring masses are In q contin'
ual terment and swirl Of discomfort;
business is more aud more uncertain
under the relentless severity OF the
severe competition that Is crowding 80
many TO the wall. The farming classes
are becoming rack.renled ana mort
gage burdened TO q degree only com
parable 10 that transition period Of
three centuries ago, when the sturdy
English yoemen, the independent free
holders, were being transformed into
tenants aud seria, The professions are
"Oyerorowded" business pursuits are
"overcrowded;" the shops are "oyer-
crowded. The only industry that
seems always active and progressive Is
that of building new court houses, new
jails, hospitala, Insane asylums, more
lnllrmarles aud wider charities"
There is u deep conviction now per
yading The popular mind thatit Is time
TO cry u halt. The masses are dissatlS-
fled with the political gourmands like
Quay, Dudley aud Wanamaker,
aud with malignants like ingalls,, For
aker and Chandler. II these forces,
now so all pervading, are controlled and
directed into forcelul channels, we
shall soon see the end Of both the
scoundrels and the scalawags, and q
better day will dawn upon this country,
