MONEY IND BUSINESS.

Undeniably there is much disappointment il
Eastern and some Southern cities regarding the
state of trade. Great activity was anticipated as
the fruit of bountiful harvests, but the outcome
does not answer expectations, and, as one journal
says the buying power of the people appears to be
somehow exhausted before it is felt at the great
commercial centres. Yet the month of October
last year surpassed all preceding months in the
history of the country for activity and magnitude
Of trade and the actual business of the country
is now in the aggregate very close to that of o
year ago, the decrease shown in bank clearings
outside New-York being about per cent for
half of October, $685., 100000 this year. against
81 025 900 900 for the same weeks last year
When the returns are analysed, it appears that
there are heavy losses at Eastern cities, II l-2
per cent at New-YOrk, nearly III per cent at
Boston, Is 1-2 per cent at Philadelphia l-2 per
cent at Providence, each at Baltimore and Pitts
burg. and 01-2 at Cleveland. But the chief
centres of Western trade show gains, Chicago
nearly > per cent, ST. Louis nearly per cent,
Cincinnati half Of one per cent, Kansas City nearly
per cent, Minneapolis s 1-2 per cent, and St
Paul IL l." per cent. Southern cities generally
renort losses New Orleans IL per cent, Louisville
nearly pa per cent Nashville 90, Norfolk "a, Bir-
minrham PC. Chattanooga 81, Fort Worth 80, and
Galveston / per cent There has been q complete
reversal of the balance; last year the West was
depressed by short crops and the South rejoicing
in the greatest cotton crop ever grown, but now
the VEST has the greatest crops ever grown, and
the South has sustained seine loss, with a severe
decline in price Cotton sold year ago at 1921
cents and now sells at $50, but wheat is about as
high as year ago and corn a little higher As
to the Eastern cities, it is a fact Of some i'm
portance that nearly all manufactured products
ara lower than year ago, print cloths nearly a
third OF a cent, shirtings 1-2 cents. pig iron %
cents per ton, bar iron 30 cents per 100 b, nails
* cents. and plate and structural iron have sold
the last week at the lowest prices ever recorded
while cotton hosiery. sheetings, and knit goods
ara much lower, blankets are lower by 40 cents
ner pair. carpets by cents per yard, fannels by
q cents. and boots and shoes have lost the small
advance effected about a year ago.
This decline in prices much more than accounts
for the small decrease in the volume Of aggregate
clearings, and explains much Of the complaint
heard at Eastern cities, but not the whole of it.
Probably the Fast is selling less at this time be-
caus, Western and Southern merchants and
taders have taken in the past larger stocks than
they were able 10 distribute, and are now working
them of But the low prices ore directly trace
abe TO enormous production in most eases. Thus,
the consumption of cotton In manufacture dur
ing the past year has been greater than ever be-
fore. and yet the quantity taken by spnners
North and South thus far this month has been

FRANCOIS EXAMPLE FOR THE GAR

FRANCES EXAMPLE FOR THE CAR.
While the Jews in Russia are being subjected
to persecution of such unparalleled barbarty
that it has aroused the indignation of the entire
civilized world, the members of their race in
France have just been celebrating the centennial
anniversary of the date Of their admission to
the full rights of citizenship. The decree which
endowed them with the same political privileges
as are possessed by every other French patriot
bears the signature of King Louis XVI; but
enlightened craftsmanship responsible for its
enactment belongs not to that Inflated monarch,
but to Mirabeau, the most eloquent exponent
of the "Rights of Man" and the principal
factor in the great French Revolution. Nor
has France ever had any occasion to regret the
concession which she then made. For her mar
veouS industrial, commercial and financial pros
perity dates from the time Of the emancipation
of the Jews
Although it is impossible to determine the
precise extent to which the French Hebrews are
responsible for the present advantageous con-
dition of their adopted country, yet fair in
dcation thereof may be obtained from the fact
that members OF the Hebrew race are to be
found at the head Of every industrial financial
and commercial enterprise. They control more
or less directly the entire railroad system, as
well as the marts of finance and exchange. The
great steamship lines owe to them their develop
ment if not their origin and the world is in
debted for its finest wines to the Hebrew pro-
plietOrs of the famous vineyards of the Bor-
deaux and Burgundy districts. Moreover, the
press and the stage are subject to Jewish d.
lection while the most exquisite creations of
feminine fashion owe their origin to the artistic
taste of the great faiseurs who nearly all be-
long to the Semitic race.
Nor has the energy or activity OF the Hebrew
element been confined to trade and industry.
1t has likewise extended into the political field,
and Jews are to be found holding the rank of
general in the army and the most important
Offices in the civil service of the Government.
Some Of the leading French statesmen of the
last century have had Israeitish blood in their
veins, and the man whose name will live in
the history of France as one OF her most patriotic
and bri liant sens, n--nely, Gambetta, was of
Jewish birth. According TO the latest official
records the Jews in France number only 6S, 600.
When one considers the results which they have
achieved 30 their own advantage, as we'll as to
that of their adopted country, the question natu-
raj y arises as to the benefits which might accrue
to Russia were Emperor Alexander to abandon
his crIlei persecution Of the Jews, and to adopt

AR BLAINE AND THE TARIFF.

Mr.. Blaine has had larger experience first
and last in the pursuit of liars and detamerS
than has fallen to the lot of any OF his asSo-
ciates in American public life. He has found IL
necessary to extinguiSh standing Democratic
libel which has been employed against MAJOR
Mckinley in Ohio. This was the citation OF
his famous wheat-and-porlI sentence respecting
the Tariff bill as originally reported from the
Committee of Ways and Means. Like many
another malicious libel this was garbled half
truth told in such way as to be whole-cloth
lie. The dishonesty OF Democratic journals In
quoting his declaration that there is not
section or line in the entire bill that will open
2 market for another bushel of wheat or another
pound Of pork as an arraignment OF the Tariff
act now in force, has been repeatedly exposed
bv the Republican press The Democratic edi-
tors have kept the libel standing in their columns
regardless Of consequences, until Mr.. Blame
himself has interviewed TO convict them of Want0n
Misrepresentation.
The quotation, which has been widely used
by the Democratic press, was garbled one,
sine it involved suppression Of Mr.. Blalnes
deliberate Judgment that the Mckinley bill as
it passed the House was just measure, and
that most of its provisions were " in accordance
with the wise policy OF Protection" His main
ground of criticism was the absence OF a
reciprocity clause, and when that was supplied
during the debates in the Senate his objections
were removed. He has cordially supported the
Mckinley act, he now declares, ever since 1t
was perfected by the insertion OF the reciprocity
clause. 1t was his criticism which enabled
Republican legislators to convert wholesome
and invigorating measure for the protection OF
home industries into a. practical policy for the
enlargement Of the export trade. When the
Aldrich amendment was added, the weight OF
the protected home market was brought to bear
mon international exchanges in such way as
TO force an entrance for American wheat, pork
and manufactures abroad.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Blaine ever wrote more
effective sentence than the one which the Demo
cratic press delights in garbling and miSlnter-
preting 1t involved the immediate adoption OF
the reciprocity amendment, and that has LED
already to a great enlargement of the Ameri-
can expOr. trade through the negotiation OF
commercial agreements with Brazil, Spain, San
Domingo and Germany. AS dishonesty re-
heated by the Democratic press it has served
the excellent purpose of calling out from him
lucid exposition of the homogeneous Republi-
can policy embodied in the Mckinley act now
in operation. 1t is often said that the truth
never succeeds in overtaking lie. That de-
pends upon how the truth is told This partiu-
lar lie. we think, has been oyertaken and killed
off. The whole country now knows that Mr..
Blaine supports the Mckinley act not only
because It is a wise measure of protection, but
also because it opens markets for American
wheat and pork.

Whatever is to be said of our Police Depart
ment, it is not often that one can accuse New
York policemen of oowardice. John Whit
worth, an officer, while making an arrest on
Saturday night was attacked by dozen des-
perate ruffians of the lowest type. Although
thrown to the sidewalk brutally kicked and
numerically beaten, he still fought the men.
Even when they had stripped him of his revolver
and club he managed notwithstanding the ter
rible assault, to keep firm hold on one of the
assailantr. Every one honors the man who is
vaorous in the discharge of his duty, and Whit
worth's plucky fight deserves cordial words Of
compliment and praise

The announcement that the Italian Govern
ment has decided to abolish the discrimination
against American pork will be hailed with
genuine satisfaction by all patriotic citizens Of
both countries. 1t is an act of friendship and
of justice which Americans will not be slow to
appreciate. The manner of its accomplishment
has necessarily differed somewhat from that
pursued in other countries, but the end attained
is the same. 1t is notable fact, that must be
memorable in history, that under the present
Republican Administration the most efficient
protection has been secured at home to Ameri-
can industry and al the same time the frees.
market has been secured for American COM
merce abroad.
