Manufacturing STATISTICS.

We concur in the suggestion that the
Chamber Of Commerce and our business
men generally give some attention TO the
gathering Of manufacturing statistics for
the census.
1t is the expectation of the Government
that their special agents will have help
from commercial bodies and trade organi-
cations. and those of this city We know
will be prompt to do their part.
We limited some weeks ago and say again
that it would be better for US TO profer aid
than to wait 70 be asked for it.
Richmond's importance as manuiac-
turing city should appear in the census
reports. The facts when fully brought
out Will secure us this recognition, but the
census officer assigned to this particular
work cannot collect them 10y his own I'M
aided efforts. He needs considerable
clerical force, which the census bureau
seems 10th 10 give him.
Our duty in the premises seems clear and
urgent.

The Speaker. and Maine.

From all we hear from Mr. REEDS dis
,rict the wonder is not that he was re-
elected by "a great majority, but that he
did not get all the votes cast.
Democrats. while discouraged and dis
pusted bv discord and suplneness in their
own ranks. were entreated as measure OF
state pride to give their support to the
Speaker. Ingenious appeals, public aud
private. were made to them. No doubt II
was said that some day Mr.. REED would be
President II his home-folks would only
stand by him at this critical moment.
Some Democrats yielded 10 these persua-
.ions so far as TO vote Tor HIM; others so
far as 10 remain away from the polls
Where pleadings were useless sordid
means were used. Great sums of money
were sent out from Washington, and the
most of 1t was spent IN REEDS district.
The purchasable element fattened greatly
on the contributions OF the Federal Office
holders. Bribery was practiced 80 reck-
lessly that II VIII probably be easy TO prove
IT, This il thing the Democratic House
will have to look into.
After securing all the Democratic aid
possible REEDS people resolved that the
Republican vote should be brought out as
never before in recent years. They organ
ized well. worked diligently. and sue
ceeded fairly,
We say fairly because it appears that
there were many Republican stay-at-
homes.
A strange outcome Of the contest IL that
the Democrats have made considerable
legislative gains.
The a3roit way in which it was repre-
scented that tho men IN the House who
oppose Mr. REED's tyranny are chiefly old
rebels helped 10 move wayering men to his
eide.
The fattery heaped upon Mr.. REED by
the numerous orators sent TO Maine TO
sound his praises during the canvass will
make HIN more consequential than ever.
lie certainly now feels himself az big a
man as old BLAINE. and will no doubt set
his triggers TO divide with the plumed
knight III is92t She Maine delegation 10 the
national convention.
Unless there comes a sudden collapse
kEED viii prove TO be thorn in the side
of HAREIsoS and BLAINE each.

The Tariff Commission.

The amendment engraited upon the
tariff bill Oh tuesday, upon motion OF Mr.
HUM. provides for the appointment by
the President. 10y and with the consent OF
tie Senate. of " five acknowledgements. .
They are 10 hold Office for six years, and
he maid ~. 900 each and travelling expenses,
and have liberty 10 appoint clerks, DC.
The range # their inquiries IS 20 be ex-
fonsiye. In a word, it is to secure and col
late All manner of information from all
countries with respect 10 the operations
Of this KcKN1EY bill and other such laws
as have been in operation since the close OF
the war.
The ayowed object Of this scheme is to
constitute a commission of able men 10
mike. carefully and leisurely, such inqui-
ries into and reports upon tariff laws as
viii suggest to Congress remedies and re-
forms.
The question is one of such magnitude
That CONGRESS in the midst OF other eX-
citing business cannot givett that research
and attention 1t deserves. The board, 1t IL
expected, will gather facts, analyze and
idbAlhit lhtuls anu k'i'NN WV 'NN'
fore the President and the two houses.
This IS a pretty plan and 1t could be
made a very advantageous oneto the coun-
try: but who Will be 1.-The dlsinterested
persons appointed to the board? we
can only Judge the Presidents purposes
by what he has done. He has been the
friend Of the great monopohes. lie mas
shown no consideration for the South.
Virginia, which was the home OF those oil
his ancestry who give renown to his name
Dc Las treated slightingly, He has con
sorted with our worst enemies, and we fear
that If the board Is authorized 1t Will he
a partisan and sectional organization.
II so II will fasten old abuses upon us
and ingeniously contrive to fashion ne"
ones for adoption by Congress.
The theory NAV be promising, but We
fear the practical effects.

Dual Site for the Fair,

Az announced in this paper yesterday
the directors Of the Columbian fair have
reaiiirned their choice OF some months
ago, and selected the dual site of the Lake
Front and jackson Park.
The two places are FIVE miles apart, but
il is proposed 10 make extraordinarily
cheap, rapid, and convenient means Of
