THE IXDIAXA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MOIiNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1878.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 13. GtNEJUL Bui BCTLES got bottled Up again. Tut Indiana idea of gold and silver and greenbacks, and enough to transact the business of the country, will now be accepted aa the true doctrine. The probabilities now are that the government will add cheese to army rations. Should this be done, and the article should be issued in the amount of four ounces per diem to the rark and file, some 2,190,000 pounds of it would be required annually. Tus radicals, in the battle on Tuesday, had an immense corruption fund to aid them. They had all the government emplcyes, and all the assistance that the national banks and the money power could Rive. To those chiefly they owe their sacceaa. Wi set it stated that property has depreciated sadly within a few years. This is evidenced by an advertisement in a SpriogSeld (Mass ) paper of a farm two miles from the railroad station, containing thirty-seven acres of good land, with buildings which cost $7,000 when they weie erected in 1873. An offer of $12,000 was then refused lor the property, which now will be told lor $3,500, "a pcod part" of the purchase money remaining on mortgage. Hcmbolst, the great explorer, records that he saw somewhere in his travels shirt trees fifty feet high, from which the native procured their shirts. It might be well for the government to appropriate $50,000, to be expended in finding that shirt tree forest; for it is mora Hutu likely that in the same neighborhood would be discovered trees prodtuo ing other articles of apparel quite aa important as shirts. The north pole is nothing to be compared to those shirt trees.

Altogether there are (Cecities in which it exist, the whole number of carriers being 2.275. The pieces letters, newspapers, postal cards, par icages, etc. delivered by them were 715,TS,,1"jO, malting ?H,6Jtf for each carrier. The total cost of the system was Sl,82i,lt.(K,- but against this .is credited the postage received on local buslnw. matter received lor delivery in the same city where It was mailed which amounted to no less a sum that n,io2'lM, paying all tb expense M free delivery and leaving an actual net revenue of t2H,uxi.bo. Railroad officials are likely to be cn tho alert to guard against accidents, since disaster that maim and kill are expensive items. It is stated that the Ashtabula disaster cost the Lake Shore Company about $700,000, and that at Itevere, Massachusetts, six years ago, mulcted the Eastern Railroad in the sum of $500,000. The management of the Old Colony Company is now rettling damages with those injured and the heirs of the killed in the Wollaston accident, and it is estimated that $325,000 will be required to pay the bills. Massachusetts has a law fixing the value of a man killed by a railroad accident at $5,000. Cheap enough. THE ELECTION. The smoke of the battle is clearing awayt and already enough is known to determine results with such approximate accuracy as to leave little doubt as to final figures. Ia the outset it may be well to remark that the political complexion of the next house of representatives has not been changed, and when the votes are counted it will be seen that the radical party has not added to Its strength in congress. The most It can claim is the transfer of two states from the democratic column in the event that the choice of president in 1880 devolves upon the bouse of representatives, and these states were gained by pluralities and not by majorities. These facts should not be lest sight of in estimating the future of political parties. The ver'diet of the American people Is that radicalism, npon every issue that has been brought to their attention during the campaign, is wrong. The difficulty has been to unite opposing forces. The national, or greenback, party owes its origin to the vicious financial legislation of the radical party. Not content with the remedies proposed by the democratic party, which were certain to work oat the salvation of the country, thousands aod tens of thousands of the people in almost every state in the Union demanded such extreme legislation upon financial questions that a third party became inevitable and the consequences are set forth by the election on Tuesday in states where, had all the opponents of radicalism conio'ned upon democratic platforms, a sweeping victory would have been achieved of the greatest importance. It is well worth while just here to review the position of the democratic party upon current issues. From the moment it obtained control of the national house of representatives a policy of retrenchment and economy vas introduced and de fiantly maintained. This policy was in consonance with the declared wishes of the nationals. The democratic majority in the bouse of representatives, knowing full well that thieves were in office plundering the revenues of the country, immediately sat to work to arrest such piratical proceedings and bring the guilty to justice. This course the nationals professed to believe was eminently patriotic. The democratic party In cougres?, regarding the course of the radical party in the south, where sovereign states were prostrate beneath the beel of. the military power, demanded the removal of tbe troops preliminary to appropriations for the maintenance of the army, and in obedience to its fiat the troops were removed1. Nationals were In full accord with this demand. The democratic party saw that the policy of contracting the currency was filling the land with bankruptcy, poverty and idleness, and sought by every means in its power to arrest the work of devastation and rain. This effort . on the part of the democratic party was enthusiastically in dorse 1 by the national party. The demo critic party regarded the demonetization of

silver as a great wrong committed in the Interests of bondholders and Sbylocks, and as result the silver dollar was restored to tbe standard coins of the country. This measuro the nationals indorsed to a man. The democratic party ia congress maintained that the law fixing the date of resumption on the first day of January, 1379, was premature, and fraught with incalculable injury to business, and .demanded its repeal, and when this could not be accomplished a law was passed for the reissue of greenbacks as fast as they were redeemed. This movement was strictly in consonance with tbe demands of the national party. The democratic party, fully persuaded that greenbacks are a cheaper and better currency than bank bills, is pledged to the change when it has the power and this measure is one of special prominence in the platform of the nationals. Ilere, then, are a number of vital issues to which the democratic party Is irrevocably pledged, every one of which the nationals indorse, aod every one of them is in direct antagonism to the radical programme. Notwithstanding these facts, the ' nationals insisted upon a separate political organization, and as a result of this division of tha opponents of .radicalism the radical party is able to make a show of strength which it does not posses , and elect a few members of congress, when the triumph rightfully belonged to Its opponents. Tois . division of the foes of radical ism and the friends of honest government accounts for almost every success obtained by the radical party . on Tuesday, and such will be the exhibit when the count is fully made up and the official returns are given to the public ""lth this view of the case what becomes of the radical party provided its opponents combine to defeat it? The question is easily answered, and the probabilities are that, from the lesson of Tuesday's election, the friends cf honest government will learn wisdom, and when the next battle is fought the foes of radicalism will fight shoulder to shoulder and make an end of the country's greatest curse. THE GOVER.VnE.VT. We are constantly treated to serious discourses upon" the subject of government, its duties, and the scope of its powers. With a great many, and specially with the leaders of the radical party, the government is something entirely separate and distinct from the people, forgetting that in this country the government is by the people, of tbe people, and for the people, and that the exercise of any power, or the inforcement of any policy that antagonizes the people, that does not consult the welfare of all the people, is in direct and criminal conflict with the advancement, glory and prosperity of the country. Under radical rule legislation has, to an extent, never heard or dreamed of before, disregarded the welfare of tbe great body of the people, while a favored few have been permitted to increase their fortunes. The gov ernment has played despot and tyrant. It has inaugurated a policy of profligacy and plunder which, has produced widespread ruin. It has created a moneyed aristocracy and exalted it to almost supreme power, while the great mass of the people have been subjected to privations and reduced to a condition of vassalage. The government, controlled by radicals, has made contracts with bondholders and then annulled them tbat other contracts might be made better calculated to enrich the capitalists and rob the people. The currency has been contracted tbat the purchasing power of a dollar might be increased, and while the problem was being worked out the people were deprived of the mesns of earning a dollar, and were forced into idleness and crime. The government, in this way, has been a curse instead of a blessing, a tyrant instead of a friend and protector. Instead of fostering enterprises by which the millions could obtain an honorable livelihood, it has, with more than aavago cruelty, bludgeoned business to death, closed the avenues to employment, hushed the hum of machinery, and arrested the prosperity of the country. The servants. of tbe people under radical rule became their cruel masters, and when the people protested and demanded a policy in consonance with their welfare, they have been subjected to another tarn of tbe governmental screw, by which they were forced to still lower depths of poverty. In contemplating the changes, that have occurred during the past few years In diminishing the power of the radical party and of transferring it to the democratic party, it will . be seen that the people have determined to have a governmett more in accord with their lights and welfare. They have concluded to exert their sovereign power and submit to the tyranny of radicalism no longer. They will in future have legislation that considers their interests; that embraces all classes and that contemplates the greatest good to the greatest number. There will be economy instead of profligacy, and honesty Instead of knavery. The government will foster enterprises calculated to enrich instead of impoverish tbe people, and the halcyon- days of the "long 'ago" will dawn again. It will be more tban a aemi-millenniun when the thousands of forced idlers, the victims of radical rule, again find employment; when the army of tramps disappear from the highways of the land ; when work and wages change desolate hovels into comfortable and cheerful homes, and rner dicants become producers. Already tbe national pulse beats more beftltbful. Radicalism, tbat has been a continuous curse, is disappearing. The democratic party is coming grandly into power, and the country is to be blessed again with a government for the people, of the people and by t'ae people. K tltilAL CROWINti. It occurs to us that the radical organs have commenced cackling and crowing prematurely, and that when the exact count, of the fell election is made, the democratic party will have abundant occhsion to burn gun powder and fling its banners to the breeze in testimony of a victory over the foes of honest government. Tbe returns show that the fall elections have resulted favorably to the democracy. Let us see. Ths democratic party has gained three memben of congress In Indiana, tinea in Ohio,

four in Missouri, one in Florida, one in Louisiana, one in 6outh Carolina, two in Tennessee and one in Kansas; total, sixteen. The radicals have gained four members of congress in New York, one in Maryland, one in Michigan, one in 'Illinois, two In Connecticut, two in New Jersey and one in New Hampshire; total, twelve; showing a democratic gain in congressmen of four members. Besides this, the radical party has lest two members of congress in Maine and two in Iowa. Now, then, we ask, what in thunder it is that makes the radical party jubilant? The democratic party in the next house of representatives will have a majority of about twenty-five members, large enough for all practical purposes. Tbe senate will be democratic, and this places the legislative branch ef the government under democratic control. If tbe -radical party feels like rejoicing over such a slate of facts, we do not care to object; but it mast be the grimect sort of fun.

IMDIANAPWLI9 AS A TRADE CENTER. We have in former articles referred to the railway facilities which enable the merchants and manufacturers of Indianapolis to concentrate in their warehouses and chops the raw materials of commerce, and to dis tribute to the people in the shortest time practicable such wares and merchandise aa enter into general use and consumption. It would bs difficult to exaggerate tbee facilities, or over estimate the advantages they secure. With reference to the state of Indiana, as also to the group of central empire states, the geographical position of Indianapolis can not fail to attract attention. If location has any commercial signifi caoce at all, and it is universally con ceded to be of the highest importance, than Indianapolis can boast of exceptional advantages in this regard. Indianapolis is near the geographical center of the state, and with capital constantly concentrating here she must in the nature ot things exert a controlling influence- in its commercial and financial affairs. Indiana is a state of large wealth, which is constantly increaaitg, and it ia for the purpose of grouping a certain class of statistics bearing directly upon trade affairs tbat we write this article. The annual report of the auditor of state gives tabulated statements of the commercial products of Indiana facts that ought to be popularized by a wide distribution among the people. The statistics referred to are compiled for the year 1376, and we assumexthat for the year 1373 decided gains will appear when the facts are published. In the following statements "show'ing the amount and number of agricultural 'products of Indiana," we giye estimated values for purposes which will appear: Number of horses 531,361, value-.....! 21,254,410 Number of mules 61,189, value 3,0,4 jO Number of cattle 1 008,821, value 10,58S,210 Number of sheep 93,177, value .... 903,177 Number of hogs 2,4."5,534t value..... 12,277,670 Bushels of wheat 15,432,129, value....... 10.701.4UO Bushels of corn 85,210,306, value..... 31,092,1-' Bushels of rye 312,061, value 106,010 Bushels of oU 6,47801, valu 1 296,780 Bushels ol patatoes 2,678,0(3, value 535,613 Bushels of barley 142,703, value 8o,65 Bushels of ?rasa and clover seed 80,793, value..... 93,795 Bushels of flax seed 301.3U7, value 123,517 Bushels or fruit 5,243,282, value 524,328 Tons of hay 9S3,797, value.........-. 9,837,970 Tors of hem p 639, value 63,900 Tot a of coal 602,477, value 1,607,431 Bushels of lime 985,707, valae-.. . 197,111 Pounds of beef 5,611,502, value 208,575 Pounds of bacon 24,574,531, value- 1,474,711 Pounds of bulk pork 4,056,091, value.- 202,804 Pouoda of lard 8,611,010, value 680,84 Pounds of wool 1,718,48, value . 615.537 Pounds of tobAcco 12,378,731, valu A- 880,51 1 Pounds of hops 29,473, value..... 12,736 Pounds of maple sugar 224,880, value. 22,880 Bah els of beef 6,815, value . 68,150 Barrels of pork 73,892, value . 110,888 Gallons of cider 3,755,135, value 375,573 Gallons of vinegar 930,918, value 139,648 Gallons of wine 43,159, value 43,159 Gallons of sorghnm 906,786, value . 362,314 Gallons of maple molasses 152,207, value. .. 76,103 1112,410,142 The foregoing figures relate simply to the agricultural products, and though they furnish the most reliable data at hand, they do not in all probability, npon a liberal estimate, give more than 60 per cent, of tbe actual products for the year named. Be this as it may, it does not affect tbe fact tbat Indi anapolis Is in the very center of this vast agricultural wealth, with all the required facilities to control the lion's share of the large trade of which it is the substantial basis. These agricultural products will steadily incre.je in amount and valne, and as steadily add to the volume of the trade of this city. Here will concentrate more and more the grain products to be distributed to other markets, and here will concentrate the cattle and hogs to be slaughtered or sent forward to the seaboard and as these great enterprises in. crease in magnitude, Indianapolis will expand her commerce and manufactures. The subject, viewed from any standpoint, will force the conclusion that Indianapolis has a territory within a radius of easy grasp. whicb,to say nothing of territory beyond, insures commercial transaction of such commanding Importance as to jlace the city in the first rank of the trade centers of the country. FACTS AMD FORECASTS. For some time to come politicians and those who take special interest in governmental affairs will be engaged in grouping established facts to ascertain their immediate influence, and for the further parpose of estimating their bearing npon future events as tbey relate to tbe ascendency of political parties.' The facts of commanding Importance and eminently significant of the real demands of the people relate to the ascendency of the democratic party In the legislative department of the government. They record with absolute ct rtainty the revolution that has been going on for years in public sentiment, showing au uncompromising hostility to radical rule, and they evidence a purpose on the part ef the people to adhere to their convictions until radicalism is exiled from power. The recent elections in no wiss evidence any disposition on the part of the pyple to reenthrone the radical party. In looking pver the field it will be observed that the opponents of radicalism were divided upon nonessential Issues, and yet. In spite of this division, the democratic party has

more than held yts own, and is to-day stronger in the citadel of power than it was before the elections took place. Ten years ago the radical party was saperenie in every department of tbe government. Its word was law, and its will there were none to withstand. It was in possession of both houses of congress. After the 4th of March next it will be powerless in both houses. Then It had the executive branch of the the government s by ' popular and electoral majorities that Indicated Its firm grasp npon the regards of the people; now it has a president forced into power in defiance of the will of the people, by methods so essentially iniquitous that their turpitude can not be exaggerated. With these facts in view, the people may forecast the immediate future with some degree of assurance. With regard to the senate of the Forty-sixth congress, the New York Herald remarks that "the United 'States senate now consists of thirty-nine republicans, thirty six democrats and one independent David Davis, of Illinois. This 'makes a total of seventy six senators. Three 'republicans Senators Sargent, Mitchell and 'Matthews have already seen democratic 'successors elected. Senators Dorsey, 8pen'cer, Connover and Patterson will also cer'tainly be succeeded by democrats; and 'these changes, if none others occurred, would leave the next senate with thirty-two 'republicans, forty three democrats and one 'independent. Connecticut has elected a re'publican legislature, which givesa republican 'in place of Senator Barnum; Pennsylvania 'has gone republican, which means that Sen'ator Don Cameron will be re-elected. No 'other changes are probable, and the next 'senate should therefore stand democrats '42, republicans 33, and indpendent 1." . The house of representatives is largely democratic without counting the national vote. As a result of all this, the democratic party will, after the 4th of March, 1879, control and shape legislation, havicg nothing between them arifl tbe welfare of the people except the veto of a presidential fraud the most notorious miscreant whose breath pollutes the air of heaven. But the radical party, during the late campaigns, sought by every meaas in its power to gam a majority of states, so that if in 1880 the election of president should devolve upon the house of representatives, the radical candidate would secure that exalted office. But in this the radical party is defeated. The democratic party now has 19 states, and if California has a fair election it will M added to the number, giving a democratic majority of one. If, on the other hand, California should be captured by the radicals, the vote would be a tie, and the election, in that event, would devolve upon the senate, and that body beiog democratic a democratic president would take the helm of government. But any intelligent forecast does not warrant the conclusion tbat the election cf the next president will devolve npon the houso of representatives or the senate. The facts show that the American people, by a vast majority, are opposed to the radical party, and the probabilities are that before 1880 divisions will disappear, and that the opponents of radicalism will unite their forces and fight under one leader and one banner.

Isaac Bell, who married Miss Bennett, is an ingenious man.

' The staple articles of food are getting down to bottom prices. Wheat hay not been as low before in twenty-seven years as it was last week. Cotton has not been as low in twentythree years, nor corn since 1845, except in 1861, nor mess pork since 1844. Trices generally are 13 per cent, lower than in May last and 13 per cent lower than before the war. Everything bnt tbe mind of the fiatista seems to be getting ready to do a cash business on the basis of specie payments. A certain bishop had a Biscayan man servant, whom he ordered, one festival, to go to a butcher, who was called David, for a piece of meat, and tben come to church where the bishop was to preach. Tbe bishop in his sermon bringing authorities from the Scriptures in this manner, "Isaiah eaya thus," "Jeremiah says thus," at last happening to turn toward the door as his servant came in, went on "And what says David?" upon which the Biscayan roared out: "He said that if you do not pay your old bill, you need never send to his shop again!" Not long ago, as an elderly couple were out walking, a lady on the opposite side of the street tripped and fell down. Tbe old gentleman rushed across the street, raised his hat and offered to assist her in any possible way. His wife folio ved him across at a slow pace, and witness! ng his devotion to the stranger, she got mad and shook her fist at him. "It's all right-it's all right," he whispered. "Yes, I know it is," she hotly exclaimed; "here an unknown woman stubs her toe, and you plow across the street to eat her up with kindness. The other day when I fell down stairs you stood and laughed and chuckled and tickled your ribs, and wanted to know if I was practicing for a circus." Morocco Leather. Morocco leather is made from goatskins, tanned in sumach, dyed in the ordinary way, having been previously immersed in a solution of sulphuric acid; and the grain or stamping upon it is done either by hand or machinery, similar to that for the purpose of dicing or graining. Very fine small skins for gloves are of ten prepared by immersion in a solution of alum and salt, instead of tannin, flour and the yoke of eggs being applied to soften and whiten. Buff leather, not now -quite so much in request as in former days, was at first made from the skin of an animal called the buffs or urus, which was then common in western Jkurope. When new, the leather was a tawny yellow, and the skins gave the name to tbe co'or. Cordova leather was first made at Cordova, in Spain, from hides dressed to be used with tbe grain side outward. It was from this leather that the title of cordwainer came. Russia leather is tanned in an infusion of willow or birch bark, and derives its peculiar and long-enduring ordor from the birch oil with which it is dressed. Levant leather is first "struck out" in warm water on a mahogany table, "blacked" with logwood and iron liquor, then polished by revolving rollers, and "grained up by the workman with a "corking board" on a table. The grain is set into the leather on a hot stove, and after this it is oiled with cod oil. In finished japanned leather the japanning mixture is worked by the hand alone. This mixture consists simply of linseed oil and Prussian blue, the last coat being of linseed oil and lamp black, put evenly over the surface as it lies spread out on a table. No machine has yet been made to supersede the band in this part of the work. In tbe blacking of skins a mixture of ox blood and acetate of iron i now vory often used.

Grant Ordered Back. Washington Post. The announcement made by General Hickenlooperat the late reunion of the Army of the Tennessee, to the effect that Grant had decided to abandon tbe residue of his contemplated tour aroundtbe world and return home in a few weeks, poroses considerable political significance. It is the first step in the radical programme of 1380 In short, every remaining partisan energy and resource of radicalism will be concentrated upon the name and fortunes of Grant, and, so far as the awkward restraints of a congress ' democratic in both branches will permit, the radical managers intend to accomplish the gigantic task of packing the country to either elect Grant in 1880 or bring about a state of affairs that will enable him at their head to seize the government by a coup d'etat upon the ' expiration of Hayes' term, irrespective of the result of the election. We shall be able to give further and more explicit details of this plot about the time the conference meets here. Advertising mmA Drumming;. St. Louis Journal of Commerce. OA. Chicago wholesale grocery house, which few years ago carried 16 drummers at an expense of $40,000 per annum, and did an almost profitless business, has abandoned tbe drummer system, spends one-fourth their cost annually in newspaper advertising, dividing the bajance among customers. As a natural result, their trade has increased ten-fold, and the net profits to the honse in 1877 were $140,000. This year they will do still better. Woman's Work In STever Done. Augusta (M .) Journal. A little Portland girl recently testified innocently to the life of drudgery experienced by the average "queun of the household" who dof 8 her own housework. Somebody asked tbe child if h r mother's hair was grsy. "I don't know," she said, "she is too tall for me to see the top of her head, and she never pits down." In this moist and variable climate colds are the rule rather than the exception. Dr. Bull' Cong1!

RADWAY'S REMEDIEQ

FROM THE Hon. THUELOW WEED ndorslnr Dr. Kad way's R. R. R. Remedies alter using Them for Beveral Years. Niw Yorx, January 4, 1877.
