Political abn«e hardly ever ac complishes its object, particnlar* ly, when private character is its subject. People quickly discern the motive of attack and the hard er the blows fall, the closer they stick to their man. In fact people pie, generally, view this mode of electioneering as a k<nd of Pick wickian war which has its sole end and purpose in satisfying the present demands of ambition and is regarded aa a last resort. The balance of opinion remains very much as it was before. A man must be very exalted in character to bs able to cast a political stone now. We devoutly wish that in our office seeking methods, we could rid onrselves of the wild western methods of nvar a century ago and rest our claims on the safe foundations of merit and leave to the churches and the courts the dissection of private character. them into States. Territories ac quired by the United States most remain as territories governed by Congress and the administration, in the way and manner best suited to their conditions, until Congress is satisfied that they are fit to be come States. Instead of being un fitted by our constitution to ac quire territory, no nation since the world began, was ever better pre pared for the acquisition of new territory of whatever character or condition. Ill “There is a Providence that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will.” The time had come that imperatively demanded water passage between the two Americas for the commerce of the world. This passage naturally had; to be constructed by the United States, and to her would beloug its protection, its preserva tion and its chief benefit.

The Press North and South for soifre time haw had a great deal hr>nt tfa.UsMA increase jqCflfltog 1 our export trade during the past two years. This has been sounded as a note of hope and encourage ment to the people and has been made to look upon its face as if we had at home enough of the com forts of life and to spare. The Textile Record, Phil, says “It might be difficult to deter mine just how much real warraut there is for the exultation with which in some quarters is regarded the recent extraordinary increase of exports of American manufac tures. There is significance in the fact that this gain was largest in the very period in which Anveri. can manufacturers suffered most from low and insufficient prices for* their products. Appearances indicate that we sold much of this material abroad solely because the home market was too poor to take it, and because the manufac turers were unable to get, either at home or abroad, a price with a profit in it. Prices fell so low that we were able to meet foreign competitors in foreign markets; and the glory of that achievement was its sole reward. These gentlemen tell us, how ever, that we must thrust our pro ducts into foreign markets because we produce in excess of home re quirements. No! Did the farm ers of the United States obtain for their materials reasonably good prices there is no doubt whatever that, excepting in the cases of a few industries, the demands of the domestic markets could hardly be met by running every bit of manu- fictunng machinery full time all the year round. The home popU' lation will take the stuff if it b2 provided that price« shall advance so that the producer of ag ricultural material may gain a fair return for his labor. At this very moment the strongest impulse felt by business is given by the wonder- of tJ ) e price of wheat. With that price-enlargement con tinued all along the line, includ- cotton, the manufacturers of the United Stales, as a rule, could have afforded to regard with indif- ference all the markets of the out- side world.” To amend the rulea of the Boarc of Health of the City of Flor ence.
