NsW Yi.rk, July U.—For the pn*t week, the chief influence acting upon Wall Street interests hes h<*en the dts- organisatiop of inwiness urisittg. out of I he great Western strike'. The rHm.irk- tihle fa* t* is that-AVltb so many thous and* -if the work ini; «'..i**vi in open h<*- rjUty not only to capital hpt to the «rf ! oiiic<l Stntcs GoverntUfUt, nnd wiilf tijc rhi.-;i,ts of jalMir leiulcis to eatery this dis- oriRfr to the utsuost extent that the nmn- of "riwnr fiHiirwerx 'tnndF' «lte financial centre of the country ha* remained calm and value* have been comparatively un'iffo<’tcil. European holili r* of <ntr Inv'Mttnents have shown stmie uacaslmws at this fqtecfacle of or* aaiiizcl revolt against '-ajiital and the Inwh that nrotect it—w'vich Is only what ioiVhf he ex|R‘'-t»*<i from tile distance separating the event from the observers; -and there ha* been some consequent yelling liy the London market, !hough hait-b siiffi.»-k*»a. tu. visibly, affect quoiar tion-i heft*. , r The can*e of this confidence lu the financial iinarkets has tH*eii the convic tion, 'lit' r’iilno-1 from the first, that the .listtirimnce could be OfitJ" Teiuiktfafy,-- *o biie.f indeetl as hiUiely-to affi.rl a chatve for iiiakinig a *aif** "bear" at tack on the market;* Wall Street has lii-come,so fainillar with iiis.r distnrh- in«*es a* to know pretty writ how to vain# them. It understand* the intrinsic wcak- iic*y -if the strike pritsnliric, wh'*n fah'.y put to the teat, ami ha* burnt that such contests are most apt to end in some form of relief from the restraints (>r ex- ariloMH that have be*n aridtrarity enforc ed by the unions. In this ease, it has been stun that the arraying of the ut most force of organised labor could only end In a defeat that would widely dis credit the union principle and emanci pate industry from the disturbing rule of the unions, The Interruption of travel and transportation has been regarded as more n temporary postponement of rail road hnslneas than ns so much itcrmanent loss; and the destruction of property has been viewed a* a charge upon the local governments which have failed to pre vent violence, rather than upon the cor porations that have been raided. More over. whatever minor forms of actual and uncompensated loss have fallen upon the ratlrpad Interest, It Is felt to be s small matter In; comparison with the off set accruing from the signal-failure of the strike principle and the consequent future limitation of ‘he union's power of disturbance. The firm attitude as sumed by the Government In, for- the first time, affirming that these violent method* of strike are fundamentally op posed not only to the rights of the citi zen but also to the laws of the United States. Is an Invaluable contribution tq- ward* '-onfideiiee In the future Immunity of our railroads nnd other large corpora tions as against the lawless interruptions of labor from which the country has suffered so much nnd by which the use of capital has lK*en surrounded with very serious risks. In. brief; Walk street re gards the struggle as the crowning battle between the employing class and the employed das*. In which the former has regained its right to un distruct freedom of contract In the employment of labor. The result of this victory is of no small value to tbs' futuri* stability of our. In dustries; and the estimate Put upon it is signlhcnntly expressed in the steadi ness of the financial markets amid so much confusion. v Another result of much value to the railroads has come out of the strike. Un der the past depression of business, and the general fall in prices, the roads have felt the necessity-bf a general reduction in wages, nnd yet they have hesitated to enforce it lest It should produce a labor disturbance. They have now an oppor tunity of r< placing their past employes, and are doing so upon a generally re duced scale of wages. A valuable op portunity has thus be:»n afforded for the railroads conforming their scale of ex penses to the general, and probably per-, maneut, reduction in prices. Thus what has been dreaded as . a possible great Nation il (alaunty turns out to be a valu able contribution towards completing the Pr.T‘>ss of n adjustment which our ma terial Interest* nre now undergoing. Congress Is now within a few days of completing the enactment rtf the new tariff, and so far nothing has arisen In the conference of the two houses suggest ing the possibility of a disagreement. In business circle* however, there Is no disposition to fake anything for granted in this matter, -and the nffecTs of ihe adoption of the fit!!, therefore; errnTiot he measured until the agreement hetwertn the Senate and House has bpen ifinally completed.- At present, the feeling Is very common that a general revival ot confidence and of businoes will then set In, from which a sternly development may he expected. Accounts from Europ ean eentres indicate that the enactment if the tariff will he the signal for re vival of interest In American Invest ments. Takin# all the conditions and probabilities as tfiey stand today, Owe not he surprisM that, within the next one or two months, the situation Is construed as favoring the settlng-in of a general process of pronounced im provement In the industrial, commercial and -financial iiiter^gfct^f the nation.

Ttepresentlng nothing on God's earth now, And naught In tne waters below it; As the pledge of a Nation Hull's dead ami gone, , Keep It, dear friend, and show it; Shpw It to those who will lend an ear, ‘ To the tale that thja trifle can tell.. Of a liberty born of the patriot's dream, , Of a storm-criuUed Nation that fell. \ Too poor to posses,* the precious o'fres, - And too much of a stranger to borrow, We issued today our promise .to pay, And hoped to redeem on the morrow. 1, The days roiled by anil weeks became .> years, But our coffers were wupty still; „ Gout wAf so rare that the^treaanry'd qiwke IT a Bidlar sltouhl drop" in the till. But the faith that was in ns was^ strong. Indeed. * And our poverty well we discerned, And this tittle check represented the pity Trias, our Buffering veterans earned- We knew It had hardly a value in gojjt, Yet as gold each soldier received it. It gazed In our eyes with a promise to pay, And each Sbuthern patriot believed It. But our boys thought littje of price or pay Or of hills.that were overdue;. * / We knew If It bought us our bread today, 'Twas the be*t our poor country could do. Keep It; It tells all our history over. From U>e birth of the dream to Ws last; Modest, and born of the angel Hope, , Like our hope of success, "it passed."
