rorolcn and Domestic Hay Crop.


The New York Journal of Commerce SAYS
that the hay crop Of Canada il very large
this year. aud is being shipped abroad in
great quantities. The Canadian shippers
arc supplying the three principal European
countries. and are sending their stock
through tho bonded warehouses at New
York. with the result of lowering prices
on the other side of the ocean.
Our old crop of last season has been
cleaned up. and the market is waiting Tor
the new CROP, but owing to the holding
back for hign prices the market is liable 10
be bare of any large amount OF stock.
During July the exports OF hay were
10000 bales. Ocean freights to foreign
ports are, Liverpool. Glasgow, huii'
Newcastle, and Antwerp. from $3.50 70
Ss. 10 per ton of forty cubic feet; to Lon
don. Bristol. Leith, Hamburg, or Oopen-
hagen, from $40 to S11.25 per ton, ana 20
Hsvre or Narseilles, from $3.50 70 slo'f'
per ton. Reports from abroad advise a
weaker market, aud rates for Inspection
grading, carriage, ETC., unchanged.
The Journal further says that reports
from twenty-five of the leading hay mar
kets of the United States find hay valued at
from S21 80 ut Philadelphia for timothy IN
large bales, from good TO fancy, down to
- 50 at Duluth. Mlnn. The eastern mar
tets are firm and fairly active. whilo the
western markets complain of dull trade
and low prices. Now hay in some sections
ia not n to bale. and st. Louis dispatch
saws that the market is glutted with OIL
color and inferior prairie has, for which no
bid has been made"

Tohacco-Stamps Needed.

OF the few things which certifed-checks
will not buy in Richmond two are reve-
nue. and postage-stamps. 1t. however,
does not so much matter about postage
stamps, as most persons can manage &c
scrape together enough currency for
that purpose. But the sale OF to-
bacco.stamps here amounts to many
thousands of dollars per day. With
ont them manufactured tobacco can
not be put upon the market. If tobac-
co cannot be marketed there is no sense in
manufacturing 1t, and for our tobacco
factories to close their doors would be to
throw thousands of the most helpless peo-
pie in the world upon the charity of the
public.
The government can save the tobacco
manufacturing communities of the coun-
try from great distress by directing its
collectors Of internal revenue to receive
certi6ed-checks of national banks in pay
1ent of stamps.
The matter is a difficult one TO deal with,
we know, but these are troublous times
and our ingenuity should rise equal to the
emergency.
Surely some device can be adopted by
the government for the protection of the
humble people, who earn their daily bread
by labor in cigarette, plug, and cigar
factories.
An appeal made to the authorities in
Washington yesterday by a Richmond
committee was denied. but We hope for a
reconsideration of that denial or re-
versal OF it by higher officers of the gov
eminent.
Let the authorities fashion some plan to
grant the relief asked. Doubtless 1t can
be done without subiecting the govern
ment to dollars loss, and if SO it should
be done-and done at once.

Ar1ntornotional Ratio Of Coinage.


The caucus of congressional silverites
who voted for the resolution we repro
duced Thursday promised, we fear. more
than they are willing TO perform. They
dld not weigh well their words If 1T be
true that they. or some of them. are not
willing 20 authorize the coinage OF silver
OF q rate of say 20 to l.
An international conference must agree
upon the ratio of coinage. One nation
cannot make law binding upon other ma
tions. On this subject Mr.. BAIToUR, the
leader of the Conservatives in the British
House of Commons. said recently in a
speech

whose minds arc not yet made up on this ques-
ton 70 reflect whether, OF all subjects In tho
world which deserve international treatment,

-! urge them to consider whether we can af-
ford to lose out OF circulation in the world the
whole OF that vast mass OF silver which now docs
duty In oiling the wheels OF commerce3 whether
we can contemplate without absolute terror the
substitution OF a gold standard throughout the
world for the silver standard which now covers

al ask whether they do not think that the
great, preponderating opinion OF the city OF
London ought to be thrown into the scale OF
those who desire TO see come International

talism, for that, believe unnecessary-but OF

HOW 70 Clear James-River Water.

Ohio-AQain.

Some OF the shrewdest Republicans Of
OHIO declare that brushing aside all
claims, propositions, and explanations. it
may be stated without the fear of contra
diction that the ticket nominated by the
Cincinnati Democratic Convention is
INSTRUMENTATION
They add that if there had been any
prospect of elect;ng a Democratic Gov
ernor in Ono next fall Mr.. NEAL would
not and could not have been nominated.
Ono voted for HARRISON last year and no
body would be surprised If she were to
vote for MCKINLEY this year. But nobody
can ever forecast the result of On election
In the Buckeye State. The voters seem
to be am Dug the most independent in the
Union. They surprise their leaders when
ever they feel as il they would like once
more to vote the opposition ticket.
1t is said that Mr.. CLEVELAND was
friendly to the nomination of Governor
CAMPBELL. We preferred CAMPBELL to
NEAL. because we supposed he would
prove to DO more available candidate. 1t
is singular report which tells us that Mr..
CLEVELAND has but little sympathy with
the free-trade faction in Ohio.

The President and the Tariff:

Mr.. HALsTEAp, like good many other
Republicans. is greatly pleased with Mr..
CLEvrLANp's declaration that the SHERMAN
silver law was truce" Whilst lauding
the President for this admission, Mr. HAL
STEAD defends him for another reason,
saying:
1.-The President has been blamed for referring
TO the tariff. /. was indispensable thEt he
should speak Of it. II he had ignored II tho in.
ciden. would have been groiesque, ana the invi-
tation TO comment upoa I, conspicuous and
irresistible Hts treatment Of the matter was
iudiclous. He said as little as he could; saying
nothing would have boen violence"
Recollect that few years ago MT.
CLEVELAND devoted the whole Of an an
nual message 10 discussion OF the tarilf
question:. He argued the question which
was uppermost in his mind. He has said
ali that be had to say on that subject. SO
now be argues tho financial problem as
the uppermost in his mind. aud touches
the tariff only to dismiss IT as q question
that will come up in due time. Mr.. cLEvE-
LAND believes in and practices Napoleonic
tactics.
