DUN'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, March 17.-R. G. Dun 81
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
"The distribution Of goods continues
very large for the season, in spite Of extra
ordinary weather, some failures and
higher money market. Europe Is not
shipping products from the country as US
ual, nor lending money as much as usual
10 carry products here until they were
needed. The accumulated stocks at COM
mercial centers, with slow collections in
the country, make the demand for money
Unusually large. Then. the natural results
of the great Reading collapse are seen in
some failures at Philadelphia and more
cautious spirit among lenders. Money Is
not. as usual, tight only on call or for
speculation, but there has been greater
difficulty here than for many years past in
effecting commercial loans. In spite OF all
these things, confidence is unabated and,
business is remarkably large, Win soihe
signs of improvement.

visions, cattle and oil in February were
but $40, O,OS2 331, against s66, ,304, 112 last

THE iron industry shows an improve

low, with less pressure to realizs and sell.
More demand is seen for bar and plate
iron and steel, while the structural works
are well employed. though not at better
prices Copper is steady. Lead is firm at
80 cents, and tin is cent lower. Cattle
receipts at the west are smaller, and bad
weather and strikes, or fears of strikes,
affect oil railway movements to some
extent.

A FINE BUSINESS.

We now have the privilege Of
viewing the extraordinary spectacle
of a republic, under a democratic
administration, trying to re.estab'
lish deposed monarch on her
throne. This is a peculiar exhibi.
ton of the moral tendency of re-
publics-a novel business for the
Government of the United States
to be engaged in. Secretary
GRESHAM seems to have become
extremely punctilious if not actu-
allv gallant in respect to Hawaiian
affairs. He fears that the amiable
Queen LILIuoKALANI was intimated
by the appearance of United States
troops and in evidence adduces the
fact that the good queen abdicated
under protest. The Secretary is
evidently laboring under the i'm
preston that princes and potentates
step down and out cheerfnlly,
whenever their subjects intimate
that such proceeding is desirable.
Ii it should be true that the author.
ity ofthe United States was abused
in the overthrow of LILIuoKALANI.
1t might be proper to reprimand
the officers who committed the
otfense, hut surely, it does not fnr-
nish any Justification for re.estab-
fishing the monarchy. Would not
the Kingdom of Hawaii be grace
full monument to the Republic of
the United States? If this govern
ment replaces Queen LrLIuoKALANI
on the throne, it will be the duty
of this government to maintain her
there. And we have the beautiful
spectacle of a great. magnanimous,
independent, liberty loving people
protecting and perpetuating a
greasy barbarous tyrant. The
Revolutionary fathers will please
take their seats on the beck row.

TARIFF.

The recent elections are as Gig.
nificant of general dissatisfaction
as anything else. People feel that
something is going wrong in tie
country and for lack Of anything
better blame it to the adninistra-
ton. No doubt the threat OF
tariff reform has contributed large
~ to bring about the depression
which afflicts the country, but it is
remarkable that in brief year the
country should, even under stress,
repudiate itself In connection
with the tariff question, it is unfor-
tunate that the people should take
such sudden turn. After such a
rebuke, it is hardly possible that
any radical changes will be made
in the present tariff laws, and an
opportunity to witness the practi-
cal operation Of Democratic free
trade will necessarily be deferred
Indefinitely. OF course. there was
not much hope before. but it is
melancholy to see the last glimmer
diffed. But it is not necessary to
utterly despend. The tariff ques-
ton is perennial. 1t will always
be a candidate for settlement but
never settled. Men may come and
men may 60 but the tariff abideth
still.

cation from Mr.. j. B. Wright OF
this city. We can not help but
think that the gentleman is labor.
ing under serious misapprehen-
sion and we earnestly desire to
place him right. if in our power so
to do. In his communication he
quotes short article from the
TRIBUNE of Sept. End which is as
follows:
IF some of those ecreeching
philanthropists, who go up and
down the county, execrating land
monopoly, would only set an hon.
est example, they might accomp-
lish something. The man who
holds thousand acres of land for
speculation, makes sorry exhibit
ton preaching equal distribution.
When a man has stolen every BART
of an engine he coul carry away,
it doesn't sound very we'll in him to
roar at the fellow who logged off
the boiler. Mems honesty is not
measured by their capacity to steal,
but by their ability to refrain"
The mistakes that Mr.. Wright
makes is in constituting the fore
going to be an attack upon himself.
Now, nothing is farther from the
truth. At the time it was written
we had no idea that he was a land
owner. We knew nothing of the
gentleman except as a physician
and druggist, and more than that,
we might have supposed that
the main idea conveyed in
the article would meet his
hearty support and sympathy,
because he seemed to be honestly
and zealously engaged in devising
some method of land distribution
that would be more equitable.
We truly expected to find in Mr..
Wright an ardent supporter of our
theory that good doctrine de-
serves practice. All that we can
say is that the article was not
aimed at Mr.. Wright, nor indeed.
was it directed at any particular
individual 1t was a shot fred at

not a little surprised that any |
gentleman should take the charge

little further. Mr.. Wright com.

agement. We might say further:
It was limited that Assessor Horn
wrote one of the articles. That is
also a mistake. Mr.. Horn is inno-
cent. These facts are stated in
order that no i'll feelings may be
engendered against those gentlemen
on account of false accusations.
We may say that we do not 90 TO
this length solely that Mr.. Wright
may be satisfied, however desirable
his good will, but rather to correct
erroneous ideas concerning the pur-
poses and management of the TRIB-
uNE, which seem to have gained
some currency. Being stranger,
we may be excused for desiring to
place ourself correctly before the
community, and having no friends
whose business or interest it may
be to explain our position, we are
compelled, against our own ideas
of propriety, to use such agencies
as are at hand. All that we ask is
judgment on the facts and not con-
viction on surmises. Men may say
that we are here to further the cause
of some individual, clique or party,
or oppose the interests of some
other combination. We can not
regulate meddlesome tongues dut
we challenge the proof. Since

TRIBUNE. It opens thus. Editor
TkIBUNE:-Some two or three
weeks ago in response to an invita-
ton of yours, l offered a few
thoughts on the question of land
ownership and avoided any parti-
san ideas. No sooner had the
article appeared in the TRIBUNE
than one ]. H. whom for the sake
Of brevity and euphony we will call
Tom Walker, bounced upon me
like duck upon a June bug, ridi-
culing my suggestions and offering
his own in lieu thereof We here
desire to examine point or two.
The letter now quoted is signed

question are signed J. B. Wright,
but wv" says, IL offered a few
thoughts, ETC." Does not "W,"
openly and plainly declare himself
to be u. B." Wright; yet he COM
plains because his name was
revealed. Further, "W." says that
u H." ridiculed his land sugges-
tiOns. That is not true. 81. H."
may have offered his own views in
lieu Of those advanced by Mr..
Wright but we can not see wherein
there was any offense in that. We
desire to call attention to another
point. IT,. language employed by
"W.' in reply to 81. H." does
not show that degree of COM
p|acency and refinement which
might be expected. For instance
"W" refers to -. H." az an
"obsecrated flap doodle editor"
Those are not elegant terms. But
We do not wish to criticise. In
r'p|y to this communication BY
Nv '" u. H." responds in the
TRIBUNE of September 23rd, and
in the same issue the editor of the
TRIBUNE calls attention to the fact
that the tenor Of correspondence
is unbecoming. We have ex.
planned at length, because we de-
sired 10 place this matter correctly
before the public and because we
thought that possibly MIR. Wright
was laboring under a misun-
derstanding of the facts. We were
quite as sorry as he that ANYTHING
of a personal character should be
introduced into those articles, but
in view of the fact that he haG
made an unprovoked attack on the
TRIBUNE through the columns of
the Sentinel, we did not feel that it
was any part of our duty to go out
Of the way to protect him from
attack. 1t seems to US that these
facts clearly establish to any un-
prejudiced mind, (First) that Mr..
Wright was not subjected to abuse
Or ridicule on account of his land
views; (Second) that the alterca-
ion between himself and ~. H."
lid not grow out of discussion of
he land question; (Third) that
Mr.. Wright was the agressor from
irst to last; (Fourth) that the
TRIBUNE, in 80 far as relates to Mr.. |
Wright, has been on the defensive
I'll the time; (Fifth) that Mr..
Wright, for reasons and purposes
'est known to himself and by his
pen declaration abandoned discus.
ion of the land question and en-
aged in criticism of the integrity
nd intelligence of the TRIBUNE.
We suspect that Mr.. Wright has
made mistake which is too COM
non where a paper opens its col
INNS to unrestricted discussion
