The Condition of New York—Hard
Money Growls—Free Trade.
Mr. Edwin D. Mansfield, the phil
osopher of the Cincinnati Gazette, has
taken a trip to New York, and re
cords his observations there in a
most vigorous manner. He notes, first
of all, that the hard money men have
suffered a prodigious reaction and are
not at all confident of a speedy return to
specie payments, in spite of the defeat
of Gov. Allen. The elections have not
satisfied them, and the result of the
elections has, if anything, plunged them
into greater commercial embarrass
ment. Mr. Mansfield, in view of
these extraordinary mdtiifestations of
lately rabid resumptionists, says:
“The only solid ground to stand upon,
at present at least, is to let things
alone. The country won’t stand con
traction upon any terms. There
begins to be a perception of this
truth in New York, and I suspect that
the bankers and merchants who were
so anxious for hard money will be will
ing to let things alone. They begin to
find out what the commercial history
of the world has shown, that commerce
lias its own laws, and that it will not
submit to mere theory, although sup
ported by the whole power of Congress.
But what is the matter with New
York ? And what is to be done for it ?
That New York is relatively depressed
in its business and growth, there is no
question. There may be found new
houses building, and there will be
found a grand array of vessels and
commerce; but, relatively, either to
its former growth or to some other
cities, it is depressed. For example, I
noticed some large real estate sales,
which indicated the general fact. One
of the large insurance companies,
which has been loaning a great deal of
money, is foreclosing a number of them.
A large piece of property sold for a
small fraction —one-half the appraise
ment—and thousands of dollars less
than it had cost; two other pieces sold
under two-thirds the estimated value.”
Our sagacious Cincinnati philosopher
shows that the New York of forty
years ago and the New York of to-day
are very differently circumstanced.
The American Babylon is paying the
penalty of overgrowth, and is at last
being compelled to yield to Philadel
phia, Baltimore and the great Western
cities much of the trade she formerly
monopolized. Her day of exclusive
commercial supremacy has gone never
to return. Mr. Mansfield also tells a
a great truth when he declares that
New York also suffers from a reaction
against extravagance. His words are
these : “No city can continue to live
aud flourish in the hot-bed existence
New York has had the last twenty
years. Well, New York says, what is the
matter? What istobe.done? Why, we
; oust get back to “honest money;” we
must have specie payments. That is
the remedy. Then comes the millen
nium. Well, suppose you look over to
Germany and France, and compare
their financial condition. Germany
robbed France of thousands of millions
of dollars in gold. France had to ac
cept paper money. What is the result?
Germany is in distress, and France is
prosperous. I am uot arguing the
subject at all. I am endeavoring to
show what New York is trusting to
just now. The difficulty with New
York is the difficulty of the whole com
mercial world—in Europe, as well as
America. It is simply that commercial
business is overdone. All the world is
trying to live by trading, or live by
their wits. The greenest and most
sanguine young man can see at once
that the world cannot live upon trade,
or upon their wits only. New York
and Berlin have been trying to do that,
and I hazard nothing in saying they
will fail in it.”
Mb. Mansfield does not touch upon
one serious cause of New York’s de
cline—the devastation of the South
and abolition and slavery. It seems to
be a righteous retribution that the
city which had fattened upon the
South, and then furnished the material
for her overthrow, should pay the pen
alty.
There is one thing that may regain
for this great metropolis a consider
able part for her fading renown, and
that is free trade. The wonderful and
enormous growth of English, and
French commerce may be said to date
principally from the time when the
manacles were taken from commerce.
Whether New York shall gain or lose
by such a policy, it is the duty of the
South and West to unite on free trade,
if not for the good of New York, at least
for the benefit of the whole country.
Tax on Bank Checks. —The United
States Economist, learning that the
leading bankers and business men of
New York and other cities are taking
measures to induce Congress to repeal
that portion of the revenue laws re
quiring a two cent stamp to be fixed
on all bank checks, says: “The tax in
the first place is equally invidious and
vexatious. It invests Government
officials with an authority to search
the books or a firm according to their
caprice or cupidity. No merchant has
any guarantee that the news thus ob
tained may not be used against him.
The tax is also vexatious because it
Interposes constant obstacles to the
transaction of business at the very
busiest time of day. It is also capable
of demonstration that the last Con
gress never intended to assess this tax.
It was placed on the statute book by
nobody knows whom, and ,it was not
till ten or twelve days after the ad
journment of the House that it was
fished out by Commissioner Douglass,
to the utter dismay of the financial
community.”
A Hint.—The Cincinnati Gazette says
The new way to pay election bets is to
charge that the election was carried by
illegal votes—illegal if you lose; legal
if vou win. It is called Shaddingering.
It enables you to borrow money to
stake with entire confidence. It is to
be the game of heads I win, tails you
lose.
Liberia—A Sorry Failure—Remarka
ble Theology.
Our readers must have been re
minded, by recent telegraphic dis
patches, that the Liberian Republic
was in a very bad way, and, being una
ble to convert the native negroes or to
whip them, has yelled out for more pro
tection from this country and England.
Not only this, but the melancholy fact
has been stated that the theological
students, pining for their naked rela
tions and ancestral barbarism, have
actually conspired to bring woe upon
the people who had warmed them into
Christian life, and by whose aid Wil
son, Garrison, Sumner, Phillips, Wil
berforce and Ciarkson dreamed that
Western Africa should be what
neither the Persian, .the Egyp
tian, the Greek nor Roman civil
ization had ever been able to ac
complish. The fact is never was there
a greater or bloodier farce than the
whole abolition programme of England
and the United States, and to their cost
these countries are every day learning
the folly and crime of legislating and
agitating against Nature and Nature’s
God.
A writer in the New York Times, who
is wise and witty, despite his pro
nounced Republican tendencies, breaks
out into what may be called an edito
rial guffaw over the Liberian drama,
and says : “One would naturally sup
pose that the Liberians, armed
with civilized shot-guns, and drilled
in accordance with the tactics in
vented by those two eminent gens
darmes, the late Messrs. Dan Bryant
and Nelse Seymour, would be easily
able to repel the invaders. But it must
be remembered that the Liberians are
few in numbers, while Africa is crowded
with native Kings. Then, too, the lat
ter are familiar with the country, and
understand the art of lurking in am
bush behind convenient gollybosh
trees, and hurling their spears into
heedless groups of Liberian soldiers
while the latter are playing policy.
Bravery and skill can avail little
against overwhelming numbers, and
the most accomplished Liberian Gen
eral at the head of a small army, in
cumbered with baggage-wagons laden
with whitewash brushes and unslacked
lime, can easily be overwhelmed and
defeated by the suddenj attack of a
thousand warlike Kings. Moreover,
there is treachery in the Liberian
camp. It is openly asserted that
among the students at the Cape Palmas
Theological Seminary there are
several who have only recently been
converted to trousers, and whose sym
pathies are actively enlisted on
the side of their barbaric brethren. As
a rule, the theological student in this
I country is not a bloodthirsty or a dan
‘ gerous individual. It should, how
ever, be remembered that he has been
born in a land of trousers and educated
amid the restraining and emollient in
fluences of silk hats and paper collars.
The African theological student, who
has only just renounced the fetich and
all his works, and is still tormented by
doubts as to whether trousers should
be worn on the legs or the arms, is a
very different sort of person. It is not
unreasonable to suppose that at times
he hankers for the uneonfiaed legs of
his savage youth, and is inclined to
throw aside the ‘lnstitutes of Calvin,’
and to resume the study of the ‘Slave
Hunters’ Manual’ and the ‘Cannibal’s
Complete Cook Book.’ At any rate,
the invasion of Liberia has rendered
the native African theological students
restless, and brought them under the
suspicion of conveying treasonable in
formation to the hostile Kings.”
In view of the coast fever, wild Afri
cans, semi-barbaric settlers, theological
students “ unconverted to trousers,”
and the stealthy march of the interior
savages against the ramshackle settle
ments that fringe the coast, we do
most heartily congratulate an amiable,
pious and universally respected clergy
man of this city upon his determintion
to remain a simple pastor in Augusta
rather than assume the dubious honors
and prospective martyrdom, or death
in life at any rate, of a Liberian bish
opric.
The Speakership.— The foremost
candidates for the Speakership of the
House of Representatives are Randall
and Kerb. A special to the Cincinnati
Commercial says the friends of Mr.
Randall are using the argument
against Mr. Kerr that he is Tilden’s
candidate for Speaker, and that the
plan is to make him a candidate for
Vice-President next year on a hard
money platform. Some of Kerr’s
friends think that he will make quite
as much headway, and be quite as
strong a candidate for the Vice-Presi
dency if he gets the position of Chair
man of the Committee on Appropria
tions, which will give him the leader
ship of the House. A gentleman who
arrived from the southwest re
ports that three Democrats from Ar
kansas and three more from Texas are
for Randall. Lamar, of Mississippi, and
Senator Gordon are throwing their in
fluence for Randall, and this will have
a very considerable effect. It is said
that Ohio Democrats are all opposed
to Mr. Kerb, while Illinois Democrats
are all for him. The New York Herald
makes the following points: “When
it is argued against Mr. Randall that
he accepted the back pay voted by the
last Congress, it should not be for
gotten that Mr. Kerr, his competitor,
also accepted back pay when voted by
a Congress of a few years ago. The
difference between Mr. Randall’s posi
tion and that of Mr. Kerr is the dif
ference between cant and sincerity, and
every sincere Democrat will rejoice in
the opportunity to show his respect for
courage and manliness of opinion by
welcoming Mr. Randall to the office of
Speaker.”
Stanley. —The Herald explorer has
turned missionary on the banks of
Lake Niyanza and is reported to have
made a half-convert or some trouser
less king. Having called for mission
aries in that region, a wealthy English
man has given §50,000 to supply the
necessary raw material which will be
well-cooked before the other half of
that black king is turned to Christi
anity.
The Baptists— ln 1776 there were
only 25,000 or 30,000 Baptist communi
cants. They are now said to number
about 2,000,000.
Whiskey Slang. —The crooked whis
key trials have developed some rich
specimens of the American language.
One of the slang expressions is “daddy
under the hay,” and another is “the
goose hangs altitudelum.”
Schurz.— Hon. Carl Schorz believes
that the third-term project is so dead
that a ton of newspaper articles couid
not resuscitate it. And yet a hundred
and eighty-five pounds of Grant are
very apt to accomplish what the news
paper articles fail to bring about.
Gov. Smith. —The Atlanta Herald
says emphatically that Gov. Smith will
not be a candidate for re-election, and
that resolve, the editor says, he had
from his own lips, and in such positive
and sincere terms that it cannot be
doubted for an instant. One sensation
spoiled. Next!
H. G.—We learn from several of our
exchanges that the effort to build a
monument to Horace Greeley has
proved an utter failure, and there is
talk of returning the money contribu
ted. Wo are very soon forgotten when
we are dead, especially if the contribu
tion box be passed around among the
mourners.
An Editorial Used as a Sermon. —
The Philadelphia Press says that on
Thanksgiving Day Rev. A. J. Cather,
of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal
Church, in West Philadelphia, after
prayer, singing, and the reading of a
psalm, read from a newspaper a
Thanksgiving editorial, which, he said,
he regarded as a good substitute for a
sermon. Several times he paused in
reading, aud commented upon the
views expressed in the article. This is
a valuable hint to ministers. Editors
may return the compliment by using a
good sermon occasionally.
Fox Hunting. —The Brooklyn Eagle
takes great pleasure in stating that
during the fox-hunt in New Jersey the
other day, when the whole party came
to a sudden halt before a picket fence,
the kind-hearted fox paused in its
career, trotted back, beckoned the bold
riders to follow it, conducted them to a
place where some slats had been broken
out, and did not resume its flight until
the last man had crawled through. If
foxes in New Jersey behave in that
way, Mr. Bergh need not concern him
self greatly about them.
Last Words.— The admirers of Henry
Wilson having attempted to put into
his mouth a sonorous dying utterance,
the Washington Chronicle declares that
the Vice-President had no idea that
his end was near, and on the morning
of his death, a few moments before life
was extinct, he said to his attendant,
“ I guess I will take some more of that
bitter xvater.” Let us hope that,
awakening in another world, he found
the waters of eternal life sweet and
wholesome.
Tit for Tat.— During the obsequies
of the Vice-President at the Baltimore
City Hall on Friday last, Major Harry
Gilmor, a well-known and conspicuous
Confederate cavalry officer during the
late war, was introduced to Fred.
Douglass, and a morning paper says
the following occurred: The Major
said, “Mr. Douglass, let us shake hands
across tfle bloody chasm.” Mr. Doug
lass replied, “No, Major Gilmor, there
is no bloody chasm; let us shake hands
across a free country.” The colored
man had the best of the twaddle.
Harry Gilmor has beenja rabid ward
politician since the close of the war.
