Saturday Morning, September 4,1875.
The Business Outlook—What the Or
gans Say.
As no man can possibly tell what de
velopments are about to take place,
what unexpected smashes and unlook
ed for complications, so it is a
matter of mere conjecture whether or
not this Fall and Winter will bring the
couutry considerable prosperity. The
general opinion is, that, so far as the
South is is concerned, matters can be
no worse, and, in view of the cotton
crop now coming to market, every
branch of trade must be bettered. The
New York Herald gives the following
opinion:
As to the immediate business of the
Autumn the prospect is fair, but not ex
hilarating. Agriculture, the greatest of
our interests and the chief piilar of the
national wealth, is not suffering like manu
factures and mining. As much labor has
boon employed in agriculture as in any
preceediug year, and the crops are gener
ally good, especially products which we
raise for exportation, foreign demand is
sufficient to insure reasonable prices, and
as soon as the crops of the country begin
to move to their markets there will be a re
vival of activity which will make quite a
contrast to the recent torpor and stagna
tion. But all our groat resources of varied
production will not be called into full ac
tivity until the Government shall have wis
dom aud energy to lay a bold reforming
hand on affairs and give us a sound cur
rency, moderate taxes, and an example of
that honest economy which must be prac
ticed by the people.
There is much reason and sound
sense in the above paragraph. The
United States have all of elements
of wealth-production, but bad laws and
wicked State-craft have paralyzed the
very sources of money-making as well
as social tranquillity. If the Republi
can programme has been proven so
disastrous, the people should drive
from power the architects of ruin and,
as far as possible, reverse their blighting
administration of affairs.
The September book of the Mercan
tile Agency of Dun, Barlow & Cos., of
New York, descanting on the immedi
ate business future, has the following:
Whether the expectations which have
been entertained of an improved condition
of trade for the present year are to be re
alized or not, the next ninety days will de
termine. That these hopes of revival have
not been sanguine is true, but tho disap
pointment which may follow their non
fulfillment will be none the less serious.
The same authority, reviewing the
crop movement as one of the prime
agencies for the recovery of business,
thus speaks:
Though it may take many months to re
alize this wealth, tho operation by which
that realization will be carried forward
ought soon to be manifest, and the proba
ble result pretty definitely anticipated. It
is undeniablo that there exists now a very
uncertain aud feverish condition of things
that business in first hands is almost at a
stand still, and that to induce purchases
something is needed more tangible than
bright prospects, which have too often
proved delusive. We are, therefore. on the
eve of a most important and critical sea
son io the commercial history of tho coun
try, and closo observers will watch with
some anxity the indications which the next
few weeks will afford.
The true case seems to be this: If
Eastern and Western dealers are com
pelled to sacrifice their stocks in trade
nothing can save them from financial
ruin. If Southern planters realize very
low prices for their cotton, they will
not be on the high tide to fortune, es
pecially such of them as have made
their cotton by borrowing money at
usurious rates. If the planters have
an unsatisfactory market they will not
buy largely from the city merchants,
and those, in turn, will cut their ex
penses down to a minimum. We must
hope for the best patiently. The
chances are that, in any event, the
South will go through this Fall and
Winter with much more satisfaction
than many portions of the East or
W e st.
A Humorous Yiew a Serious Matter.
An attempt has been made on the
part of the hard money men to prove
the fallacy of their opponents’ argu
ment by a bar-keeper’s story of “in
flated cock-tails.” It was a capital
hit and much more readable than most
of the lumbering speeches on the same
subject; but the Detroit Free Press, in a
much smaller compass, and with su
perior wit, thus turns the tables:
“Well, bub,” replied Bijah, as he finished
hanging up the broom, “this currency ques
tion bothers many besides you, though it’s
® clear enough to me. You see that twenty
live cent scrip, don’t you?”
The boy remarked that lie did, and Bijah
placed it on the window sill, weighed it
down with a peach stone, and continued:
"That bit of paper is marked *25 cents,’
but is it twenty-flvo cents? Is it anything
more than a piece of paper?”
“I dunno,” solemnly replied the boy.
“Has that bit of paper any real value be
yond its being a promise to pay?” demand
ed Bijah.
“W 7 hat paper?”
“That ’ere twenty-five ”
He stopped there. Someone had sneaked
up the alley and slyly stolen both scrip and
peach stone.
“Never mind,” condoled the boy, “ It
hadn’t any intrinsic value.”
“It hadn’t, eh?” growled the old janitor;
“I just want to catch the wolf who ab
sorbed it!”
Volumes could hardly say more, and
the crowning argument of all is this :
If greenbacks are “rags,” so are bonds.
Both are backed by the “credit of the
nation.” If the “nation” has precious
little credit —as some folks contend—
the time is not very remote when a
common fate will befall the national
securities, bond or greenback. In the
language of Mother Goose, adapted to
the occasion, it is :
Kockaby, Sam, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the “nation” will
rock; .
When the bough breaks the “nation” will
fall,
And down will come bonds, greenbacks and
all!
Enterprise.— Decoying hundreds of
young men into a city by newspaper
puffing is very questionable enterprise.
It i3 better to tell the truth and let the
man who is doing moderately well in
the country remain where he is. A
farmer boy who has ambition and
pluck will, if needs be, find his way to
town without any trouble. All others
had better cultivate the paternal acres
and thank God for their lot.
The New Radical Change of Base.
In Ohio and Maryland the ne w Know
Nothing movement has grown most
vociferous. So far as the currency
question is concerned, it has become,
with the Republicans, only a secondary
consideration in the former State,
everything of that character having
been subordinated to an attack upon
the religion of a large number of Dem
ocrats. In Maryland a Know Nothing
party, called “Potato Bugs,’ : makes
quite a loud display, and it is a notice
able fact that the chief organ is a Rad
ical newspaper and the prime movers
are Radical politicians and religious bi
gots. All of the paraphernalia of Know
Nothingism has been brought out for
service. The head fuglemen call them
selves “reformers” and “friends of
the people”—just as Robespierre
and Marat did in France —
and their deliberations and nomina
tions are all in secret conclaves, lit by
dark lanterns and hedged about with
mystery. The Baltimore Gazette, which
is waging fierce war against th s cabal,
truthfully says : “ Beneath the surface
of all this hidden movement the work
of Radicalism is plainly visible. It is
only part and parcel of the plot of Rad
icals in tho last ditch. In Ohio the
same hidden movement is at work.
Ail over tho State the Know-Nothing
organizations have been reviv ed, and,
as if by a preconcerted signal, tho dis
cussion of the currency issue has been
dropped, and the campaign turned to
a discussion of Know-Nothing princi
ples. In other States the drift of Rad
icalism is the same, and it shows itself
in hideous Know-Nothing guise here,
as elsewhere. The fact cannot be dis
guised, no matter how plausible the
surface appearance. The ass is plain
ly outlined beneath the lion’s skin ; in
nine cases in ten underneath the re
form cloak you will find a Radical.”
Senator Thurman, in a recent speech,
before thousands of the people of his
State, closed with these eloquent and
memorable words:
I stand here to defend the rights of every
church, and to maintain that every man,
be lie Christian or Jew, Protestant and
Catholic, priest or layman, believer or un
believer, shall enjoy, to the fullest extent,
his rights as a citizen; that he shall have
the rights guaranteed by our Constitutions
—Federal and State—the right of free
speech, the right to petition the law-mak
ing power, the right to vote as he sees fit,
the right to hold office, and, most sacred of
ail, the light to worship Almighty God
j according to the dictates of his own con
science. I stand here to maintain that he
shall not be traduced and proscribed be
cause he exercises them; that he shall be,
to all intents and purposes, what the Con
stitution makes him—a freeman. I stand
here to denounce the agitators who would
practically deprive any man of these rights; to
denounce the Know Nothing spirit that seeks
to reduce Catholics aid foreign-born citizens
to the status of a degraded class in the com
munity; to denounce the hypocrisy ihat pre
tends that our schools, are in danger, or that
our legislation is controlled bg any priesthood
whatever; and I stand hero to appeal to you,
wha Lever may be your religious belief or
disbelief, whatever are or may have been
your political affiiliation-, whatever may
be your calling or occupation, whatever
may be the land in which your eyes first
beheld the sun, to set the seal of your con
demnation upon the most heartless, insin
cere, illiberal, anti-American and danger
ous attack upon freedom of conscience, the
rights of the citizen, the peace of society
and the welfare of your Government, ever
made in America since the Know Nothing
banner, twenty years ago, went down in
the dust!
Wise and brave words, fearlessly ut
tered ! It is characteristic of partisans
like Morton, and his rule-or-ruiu follow
ing, to abandon a legitimate subject of
discussion, such as the currency,and then
perfidiously, and with diabolical intent,
shift the ground in order to arouse the
passions and prejudices of men, iioping
thereby, like cuttle-fish, to escape
destruction by blackening the waters
in which they move. When the Balti
more Gazette expressed a hopes that
William Allen and the Democracy
of Ohio should bo defeated, and
did what it could to accomplish
that purpose, little did the conductors
of that journal dream how mischiev
ous such a policy wa?. In its anxiety
about hard money, the fact seemed to
escape the Gazette that anything like
such an issue should be made second
ary to an overthrow of the Democracy
and William Allen. Doubtless the
Gazette, confronted with Know-Noth
ingistn at home and abroad, perceives
at last that good men everywhere
should either place no barrier in the
way of Allen’s overwhelming triumph,
or else work day and night, with un
flagging efforts, to make his victory
secure beyond a peradventure.
Well Pot. —The New York Bulletin
notes that “for years the whole conmer
and financial life of San Francisco has
been in a state of high fever, and the
Inflation of values baa cernainly
equalled if not exceeded that which
prevailed on this side the Rocky Moun
tains before September, 1873. And all
under a gold system of currency the
most rigid that can be found In almost
any part of the world, the paper circu
lation being in the proportion of only
about 1 in 5 to the metallic. What,
then, shall be said of the potency of a
gold currency to avert the evils of
speculation ? There are few or no evils
for which the greenback currency is
held responsible which are not found to
have existed undor the hard money
system of California, and in an equal
if not a larger degree. What, then, is
the inference ? Not that the character
of a currency has no sort of connection
with the character of the business for
which it is employed ; but that the in
fluence of the currency is much less vi
tal than is commonly supposed; and
that the abnormal Inflation of values,
under speculation, general extrava
gance of expenditures and unsound
banking—evils which culminated in the
panics alike of New York and San
Francisco—may exist independently of
either a paper or a specie currency.”
Washington.— A Granger writing to
the Cincinnati Gazette thinks the city
of Washington is a failure in point of
material splendor. We cannot agree
with this Patron. It is true that mil
lions of money have been squandered
there and millions stolen; but,
whatever may be the turpitude of Boss
Sheppard and his gang, they have
made the Federal Capital one of the
grandest cities in the world.
“Plantation Manners.”
In the halls of Congress, the co
ordinate departments of Government,
and in social life at Washington, the
people of the North used to make
great boasts of how they would reform
matters, when power departed from
the South. They styled the high-toned
customs of sixteen years ago “planta
tion manners.” Well, time passed, the
South went to the wall and the North
has had her chance. In what way has
the Government been improved? Are
the army and navy better off in point of
manners? Has social-life at Wash
ington grown more refined and moral ?
Very great, indeed, is the hardihood
that would answer affirmatively We
have talked with men in all branches
of the service, and the newspapers re
cord what fashionable circles in Wash
ington are. And in every part of the
country, in all the ramifications of its
religious, professional and mercantile
existence, what infamy has not been
developed by tho withdrawal of the
true Southern element! The powerful
and brilliant declaration of Elihu Bur
ritt that the supplantiug of Southern
influence by shoddy shams had worked
infinite harm to the whole land remains
uncontradicted to this day, and can
never be controverted. We very much
fear that the time has gone forever
when the South could restore the hon
esty and genuine chivalry of former
years, but it may be that enough of
her ancient spirit remains to check
the wholesale depravity now existing,
if a full restoration of wholesome life
be impossible. Bitterly i3 the North
reaping her ruin of our institutions
and an attempted degradation of our
manhood. Just as the trade journals
are admitting that a recuperation of
Southern industry is necessary for the
reestablishment of their dwindling
prosperity, so the people of this sec
tion may yet be called upon to purify
the public and private morals in the
States beyond the Border, and restore
the Kepublic of our Fathers by reform
ing the .Rmgbpubiic of the Radicals.
Ralston Apotheosized.— When Don
Jose took his life rather than go before
a divorce court—preferring death to
Doctors’ Commons—he must have been
actuated with the same pride that
hounded Ralston to his final leap into
the dark. The Chicago Tribune sup
plements its reasons for the poor man’s
suicide with a broadside at tho “eulo
gistic” discourses of tho San Francisco
clergymen, thus:
What was there in his life, character, or
exploits which justified his being held up
by the clergy as an example to young men,
or to old men, or to bank rs, merchants, or
politicians, or any other class of society?
That he was popular in one sense is true;
all prodigals are while tne money holds
out. That he was generous with other peo
ple’s money is unquestionable; neverthe
less, there is little in that kind of popu
larity, ability, or generosity that is either
honorable, commendable, or exemplary, or
of which a man might be proud. Neverthe
less, the clergy of San Francisco seem to
have found in his career someth ng to exalt
and hold up to the admiration and respect
of their congregations.
Perhaps they were more charitable
than the Chicago editor; aud perhaps,
unlike the generality of mankind, they
were grateful for favors bestowed.
Louisiana.— The new census of Lou
isiana makes the entire population of
the State 851,000, an increase over 1870
of 125,005. The whites number 401,901
and the blacks 450,029, giving the lat
ter an excess of 45,008. The increase
of whites since 1870 is 42,896, and that
of the blacks 95,819. New Orleans has
203,308 inhabitants, of whom 145,721
are whites, an increase of 4,798, and
57,047 blacks, an iucrcaso of 7,191. A
Louisiana census is generally taken
when many white people have tem
porarily deserted the State ; that is, in
the hot summer season. The excess of
blacks in the State is, if a true exhibit,
largely attributed to the absenteeism of
the whites, and because large numbers
of the negro population of other States
are drifting toward the tropicoid re
gion.
Truth. — Even in old days it was hard
to get ut the truth ; much more so is
it the case In these times of steam and
electricity. The latest phase of this
matter comes from the Memphis Ava
lanche, which thus speaks:
“Counting every acre of corn and cotton
lately inundated by water in the country
bordering the river between this city and
Hale’s over one hundred miles
above, and It will not sum up three thou
sand acres altogether. The clo-er the
subject is scanned the more insignificant
the late overflow bugaboo becomes.”
Perhaps the Herzegovinian revolt
is a “barren ideality” after all.—
The wires may be moved by a European
Jay Gould, who is only “cornering” on
Turkish bonds. But wo shall know a
thing or two by the Ist of October,
when the “original Jacobs” controls the
telegraph and the Press.
Plain “ Dave.” —And now comes Col.
Carey W. Styles and thus ventilates
one of the topics of the day :
The Telegraph and Messenger, in one short
article, referring to David E. Butler,
dubs him “Colonol” three times and
“Dr.” twice. Others apply the “Rev.”
handle, and others a gain the “ Hon.” Wifi
someby toll us what his real entitlement
is? “ Dave Butler, ’ plain and simple is
what he answers to among the Masons,
and as we learned to call him so, its hard
to catch the new symphony.
No man in America who has so many
irons in the fire as David E. Butler
(we omit the titles for the present) can
ever hope to be “ plain.”
New Novels.— Through Quinn &
Pendleton we are in receipt of three
new novels, all of them quite interest
ing, from the publishing house of Estes
& Lauriat, of Boston. These works of
fiction are gotten up in very handsome
style. The paper covering is exquisite
and the letter-press a GoD-send to
weak eyes. Among these books we
specially note “Counterparts,” written
by a lady whose literary career ended
all to soon, and whose promising
flower of life was nipped by tho un
timely frost of death.
“ Jess So.” —The Chicago Tribune
says It was not specie, but the lack of
it, that swamped the Bank of Califor
nia. Just so. When the breath is gone
