In very careful and conservative edi-
porter of last week, remarked that notwith-
standing the oft quoted phase that business
is aIw avs dull in presidential year, the
closest research has vet failed to discover
the astute tradesman or manufacturer " no
Gun show any existing necessary relation
betw cen the course of trade in this month
of October, for example, and the election
that will occur on the eighth prox. never
theless the assertion is made with the same
confidence with which the old lady declared
that tallow would either float or sink if it
were dropped into water, she knew not
which.
Now, instead of seeking to find the rela-
ton between the course of business IN any
week and prospective election, which
act in itself involves an assumption of
the truth of the proposition that business
in the current season is duh because it is
a presidential year, suppose one examine
If this assumption is correct il 1t fails
to be true in its application TO business
in any one of the great staples, or in
the finished articles wrought from il, a
doubt will be fairly raised rs 10 its general
truth. Indeed, unless it can be shown that
the increased volume of traffic IN these two
fields il the result of any other cause than
the ordinary operation of the law of supply
and demand, if one believes there il any
necessary relation between "A national
election and the ordinary course of business
in largo commercial centres, lie may per
haps conclude that the fact that the univer-
to occur in the fall has acted as a stimulus
to trade this would be hasty and per-
haps gruuniless inference. but quite as rea-
souabe as to attribute the guietness of any
one or two of our various markets to the
same cause. According to the adage in
question. the volume of business in the prin-
cipai American wool markets for the por-
ton of s92 which has passed ought to
have considerably diminished, as compared
with the same period in 1871 The facts
are, however, as follows oct. 20, 1892
the sales of foreign anil domestic wool in
New York since Jan | had amounted tn
-. Isl 200 pounds, AS against 81 l59, 700 in
the same period, nearly million pounds
more having been sold in that market this
year to date.
In Philadelphia during the same period
of 1892, 1919 $50 pounds of foreign and
domestic wool, against 1915 ,526 during
the same period of 81. In Boston the
sales amounted to iil SOS SO against 49,
972 200 for the corresponding time in 81.
SO that in the aggregate the wool sales in
the three principal American markets since
Jan. |, in the present year up to Oct. 20,
have exceeded the amount sold in the same
period of 1891 by about % SCI 500 pounds.

The Hour and. the Cause.
New York Tribune.


Republicans have special reasons for en-
terins upon the final week of the campaign.
not only with hope and determination, but
with profound satisfaction. Wherever they
look they see their party fighting on the side
Of political morality and good government.
On the broad national field it is defending
great polic,es which have brought honor
prosperity and contentment 10 the country.
and sustaining President who has served
all the people with extraordinary wis
dom and fidelity. Within mar
rover lines, at various points. it is ala
fighting against gross wrongs and abuses OF
power, and in the interest of every citizen.
whether he recognizes that fact or not. In
some western states Republicans are en-
deayoring to put the final seal of condem-
nation upon foolish and mischievous theo-
ries of government, upon Democratic
conspiracy which is seeking to make these
fallacies the means OF cheating the country,
and upon demagogues who defame the
communities in which they live by attributing
to them conditions of material wretehedness
which do not exist and which could be the
consequence only of disgraceful ignorance
and Incidence. In the South the Republi-
can party is fighting for lawful liberty of
speech and action, for the release of that
fair land from the control of a tyrannical
and selfish minority. and its full enjoyment
of splendid birthright. In and around
New York, the centre of the battlefield, the
Republican cause is the cause of funda-
mental honesty. In Connecticut the Demo-
cratic party is the party which has been
steadily defying for two wears the Constiiu
ton of the state, and maligning those who
have upheld it and whom it has triumphant
ly upheld. In New jersey the party which
is irving to elect Mr.. Cleveland is the party
which has Systematically stolen the control
of that state in many elections, which has
shamelessly swindled and numerically OPP
pressed the people, and some scores of
whose most valued members are now in
Jail because of their crimes against the
suffrage.
And in New York, where the struggle is
fiercest and the stake greatest, the party of
Cleveland is the party which stands con-
victed by public opinion and by the courts
of justice of a monumental theft of power,
by means of which alone it hopes 10 main
tain its supremacy in the state and dominate
the Nation. Against the corrupt and au-
dacious combination which conceived and
carried out this plot, and which is now pre-
tending a docie allegiance to a discredited
leader whom it intends to own and use, the
Republicans of New York are compactly
and confidently arrayed. Their appeal is
to the honest instincts and Judgment of
every good citizen. 1t will not he made in
vain.

The last official action upon the new
commercial treaty between the Spanish
government and the United States has been
taken, and the treaty is now ready to go
into operation. This result WAS attained
only after much labor by the officers Of the
Department of State and a great deal of
correspondence with the Spanish represen-
tatives. The treaty was duly promulgated
and was announced to take effect July
last. But there were come practical diff
culties in the way. The tariff schedules
of the treaty were III the usual form and
we're general in their terms. For instance
it was debaiahle question whether the gen

articles as sewing machines. Therefore q
