it would not bs far batter to let politics
alone until they understand the true use

MENACE TO TRADE AND COMMERCE,
A sword over the market is worse in
most Gases than a pronounced panaity.
This power in hands that arc wholly un-
restrained, save by the will OF their
owner, would be perpetual meuaos TO

damage la its appeal TO human fears

actual exercise. II is reasonable GER
tainty Of peace, and Iest from constant
apprehension, that is demanded by COM
meroe before she will spread her white
wings over the seas. Congress has
already done enough to sxcite alarm and
to disturb the market in the bill it hss
passed. We certainly hope that this new
terror will not be adted to thu impend-

olAvE POPULAR UPRISING.
We csnuot safety add mach more to

referring to the National Election bill.
INFAMOUS PARTISAN LEG1sLATIoN.
Tho House having passed the Federal
Election bill the only chance Of staying
this infamous pieoe Of partisan legisla-

But there should be enough Republican
statesmen there to act for tue country
instead Of for the party and call halt on
suoh reckless and dangerous legislation" "

| IT Is SIGN OF DANGER.
The passage of the Federal Election
bill is more than an outrage. 1t ia sign
of danger. 1t is forerunner Of national

There are numerous other quotations
at hand showing that Senator Gray's
