During the debate on the shipping
bill in Congress last week. Congressman
Grosvenor, of Ohio, concluded strong
speech in is favor, and said, 'the rea-
son that the Democrats would be 10 a
majority in the next House was that
there had been misrepresentation and
misunderstanding of the Mckinley bill.
To-day in the markets of this country
the commodities that entered into the
daily life Of the people, without a single
exception. were cheaper than they were
on the LIST of September, 1890, and
cheaper than they hal ever before b zen
in the history of the country At the
same time the agricultural products
brought better prices than they did at
the close of the Fiftieth Congress. The
Congress should take advantage Of the
Mckinley bill and send American YES
sells, covered by the American flag, car
rying American products, to seek fol
the markets of the world "
Not a Democrat opened his mouth tc
reply. They could not. Every word
he uttered was a truth, and fell with
astounding effect upon the public ear
Everything the farmer has to sell to-day
brings better prices than six months ago
and every article he has to purchase is
cheaper from the hat that covers hi,
head, to the shoes upon his feet.

At a banquet held in New York a
few days since, Hon. John S. Wise
made patriotic speech in behalf of the
Union aud concluded. by referring to
Secretary Blaine as the man who leads
thus on to prosperity. lie said:
81 am not alone among the people Of
that section of the country in the scnti-
mcnt that the nation, its flags, the pre-
servation Of the rights, the liberty of
every man and its property is the dear
est on cath. Its federal union is ahead
in the attachments and affections Of our
hearts. When ] say this | mean no
disloyslty to the past of my life, for at
the age of eighteen | was soldier in
the Confederate army, and nov bear
Federal bullet in my body. | look back
to the events of tina. day with loyalty,
but it is with the affection that is due to
the dead III their grave, and IS the loyalty
that We give to a corpse long since
buried.
The man who to-day in this great
and happy nation cannot find anything
in love of country, the han who can find
nothing in thought or speech but to cast
up events of the past as a constant re-
minder of section llism, that man i. eth
er one or two things. He is either the
victim Of provincial ignorance and pride
or worse. That spirit is the Source of
all the trouble tina; nearly wrecked the
happiness of the greatest nation on earth.
| know tue name Of the candid
who will redeem the country Cheers
for Blaine If | be right, | predict
there will be such an uprising as has not
been known in this country since sum
ter. 1t will arouse the old spirit, and
sweep the country Then wrongs will
be righted."

The Monopoly Continued.

The decision OF tie Court Of Appeal,
delivered last week sustaining the opin
Jon of Judge Alvey previously rend'r
cd. permitting another attempt to b
made to run the Chesapeake aud Ohic
Canal as a water way, is greatly to bC
regretted In the judgment of wei
thinking minds the days Of such slow
mode Of transit have passed, the pro.
grcssive idea prevails Steam has taken
the place of the mule, aud rapid transit
is wanted in every branch Of industry.
The alive aud moving thing is what is
needed in this age, and not the creeping
reptile, dragging its slow length
along" The gist Of the decision OIL
the Court Of Appeals goes to the rights
of the hondholders Of 1874. without APP
parent due regard for the interest of the
people at large: 1t permits the bond
holders to attempt to do what has been
tempted, time aud again. and proved a
failure; j, permits them to go on and at
tempt to run the canal as water way
upon their mere idle say so. against the
intelligent opinion of the general public
and committee especially appointed by
the court to make an examination into
its condition md the possibility of its
successful operation again. As the
canal was intended as public improve
ment, should not in equity and justice
the rights Of all parties be consideredi
The bondholders Of 1914, are none OH
ers, than the b. & o. r. r; and the
latter having pur chased a controlling
number Of the bonds, the decision Of
the Court of Appeals amounts to moth
ing more nor less than permit to the
b. & o. X. Il. to control the canal in.
terests for four years, if not longer, fol
its own interest, and to the injury of the
people. The b. & o. r. Il X. has al.
ways feared railroad competition. =
While the canal vas lying worthless
ditch and the railroad had almost a mo.
nopoly Of the coal carrying trade such 1
proposition as reconstruction was never
heard of from that source; but so soor
as the Legislature attempted to put al
end to the monopoly by granting a char
ter, and attempting to sell the cana
franchises to a new road the b. x D
with its wonderful suggestive resources
presented the bold scheme of again run
ming Me canal as a water way. 1t il
manifest that it cannot be done Blu
for four years the Court of Appeals, IL
effect, has said that the b. & O. X. X
may try it, and in the meanwhile 1T
monopoly will continue 1t is rumoreC
that the Washington aud Chesapeak,
Railroad which the Legislature inten lee
should have the canal will take lega
proceedings to nullify the action of tbs
court, ana 1t is to be hoped, that such
will be done. There is nothing in the
canal for she State, but a competing
railway line direct from the coal field.
via be one great benefit to coal consum
crs, and they should have that benefit
at least, after the money the State wa:
spent upon it, the greed Of conscience
less corporation to The contrary notwith-
standing.
