^iir Lost Imericnn Enterprise.

Our Centennial celebration invites retrospection. It is not altogether a pleasant task. Abundant evidences exist that in certain important branches of human industry our pros gress bas been a retrogression instead of an advance. Once our national name of Yankee was a synonym for

enterprise and ingenuity. No longer does any such signification attach to it. Once we bid fair to compete in the markets of the world with all races and the most skilled mechanic?. To-day we are quarreling among ourselves over the exact provisions of a beggarly policy of trying to keep foreigners from underselling us in our own markets. It is not a pleasant prospect we have prepared for ourselves.

With the exception of Pullman cars, which have been recently ins trodaced abroad, there is hardly any evidence through all Europe that American enterprise has any exist* encs. There was a time when our capitalists and engineers were sought after to build the railroads themselves. We built the fastest ships and the cheapest we were first inunknown land? we raised the sunken treasures of tempest and of war, aud all "over trie -»rorij

were

known as the shrewdest, keen'SSt quickest, bravest of the pioneers in the march of civilization. One would think that a great convulsion like the war with its calls for sacrifice and the opportunities for daring, would have developed this side of our character more stronly, but if it did so, some evil influ enc9 has since paralyzed u$, and de stroyed the strength .which once bore us on, untiring and undaunted

We watch the steamers which go and come in our ocean harbors, and we find scarce one which floats the American flag. Wc look at the workmanship, and from keelsoon to maintop no American brain lias planned a line, no American band has hammered a rivet or touched the slightest joint in her vast symmetry. The hulls are foreign, the engines are

which was the first yacht on the

turn, and was told it was the America. "If the America is first, whose yacht is second?" was the next question, and the answer was, "The America is first, and there is BO second?" Now England is first, and America is nowhere. The tables are turned completely, and we are as far out of sight behind the English as the English yachts were behind the triumph of our American ship builder, Steers and as wide as is the inter* val, we are dropping farther behind every day.

If there are any who believe that such changes happen without cause, we can compare them only to the Stolid Turk, whosays, "It is destiny and smokes his pipe. But, if enough of energy yet svrvives to render us curious as to the courses, and causes of so strange a transformation, we have a very unpleasant and humiliating lesson to learn, and a very trying remedy to apply« We have been our own masters wo have had our owu govcfDfliiflt cntiwiy' in hands, and we have willfully and persistently shut ourselves out from

t._-

our old field of enterprise and prosperity. We have enforced among ourselves the circulation of a currency which no other natipn on earth wbuld touch, and.we have taxed ourselves in order to procure at a high price 'and of inferior quality, those articles which we absolutely needed, and which we once got at the lowest Drices and of the be9t quality.

We have denied the existence of political economy and of finance as established sciences, and they have taken their revenge ON us. We have taxed the consumers of iron in order to make the production of iron profitabi'e^ud to-day hundreds of furnaces are standing idle, and the workmen who depended on them for a living are wondering why they cannot get work. We have taxed, in turn, the wool grower, the importer, the manufacture, and the consumer of wool and of woolen, until product

ion has fallen to a minimum, and consumption^ the test of prosperity, lags behind production. We will no.t let our traders buy vessels, and we will not let them make them at home the tariff has left nothing untouched, and touched nothing which it did not spoil and the destructive work of a vicious tariff has been ably supplemented by the blight of a vicious currency.

The tariff has laid down the rule that national prosperity depends on preventing workmen from engaging in remunerative employment, and compelling them to engage in those which were unremunerative, and the currency has declared that a promise to pay mears a promise r.nt to pay and with these two beautiful systems to hold us back and to cripple us, we need not wonder that we have been left behind ia the race. We built the first railroad Russia ever saw, but to-day there is not a single American renewing ths golden experience of WinHi.d. We built ships that England could not hope to rival, and to day our foreign commerce is carried almost entirely in English ships. We planned the ocean cable, and though now Neptuue's bed is crossed in every direction by cables, we own none of them. In is hard to say which id the, more humiliating, the contemplation of the facts, or the contemplation of the causes which have led to them, but oue point is patent. There is no way of changing the facts save by removing the causes, aud if we mourn over the decay of Americau enterprise,we ought to be able to do something to remedy it.

ITTS FILMOST SMRTAMG-TO°-MWTW—-^••»« comments ol a large number of papers of the life and labors of the late A. T. Stewart. Running, through their screed3 is a vein of illy conceal ed contempt for the great merchant as if money getting was a mean employment, and a man who had baen preeminently successful in it, had pursued an ignoble or a useless aim. Moreover it i$ noticeable in these slighting remarks that the writers regard money making as an easy matter, which they could hav6 compased if they had only chosen to have set themselves abou^it.

A further fancy indulged in by them is that he must have been an ungenerous monster, grinding down his employers and crushing them under an iron heel. Much of this su

percilious writing we conceive to be rank hyprocrisy, and as for the rest mixed in with a few grains of truth here and there, we find it to be a miserable compound of misrepresena tation and malice. There is a sicken* ing amount of hiypocrisy in our poor, frail human nature, Nothing is more popular with us than to sit up and talk .about noble aims and lofty asperations, and of treasures in Heaven where moth and rust do not corrupt, and poor frauds that we are, we are breaking our bacte trying to get ahead in tlie world, and dying with envy of our successful contemporaries whom we affect to look down upon and dispis.e We call Stewart a shop keeper. What is wrong about that? It is a useful, a necessary, and therefore an honorable and proper employment. It is moreover a difficult business to sucoeed in, with its sharp compe titions and keen rivalries. Sometimes we have thought it harder to do, than to write flippantly dolorous articles,inveighing against money making. We dare affirm that the organization of a vast dry goods business, requiring a shrewd judgment of the variations of hum an tastes to compe success, displays as deep and intimate a knowledge ot human natureas one will find in a library of novels by the masters of that trade. We marvel at and admire careful and judicious management of national finances in times of war and great distress, and yet we do not count it as wonderful an exhibition of flnanceering as that, displayed in the career of this dead merchant, who safely steered the greatest mercantile house in the world through a dozen wars and a score of panio3 without evading a debt, violating a contract, or failibg to pay every dollar of his obligations.

lafiLZ

We find in this marvellous management of dozens of establishments and scores of agendes and thousands of employees, as briliiant displays of organizing abilities of colossal proportions, as that exhibited by any general in the marshalling of armies in this century.

He was not an idolatom worshipper of the almighty dollar,either. He was a scholarly man and in bis youth received a liberal education and for a time thought of devoting himself to literiature.

It is popular to speak of him as a hard master. He was always a just one. He demanded strict compliance with bis commands, and he always kept his contracts. The generosity of so styled liberal business men is not unfrequently purchased at the price of violating contracts, and compromising with creditors. Our own estimate of Mr. Stewert is that Le was one of the really great men of the century,—a man whoso example might be imitated with profit by the youth of the land:

Will Pahmeyer will take charge of the saloon ou west Main street now operated jointly by his father and himself, on the first of May. His father will engage id business in Bowling green.

THE report in yesterday's GAZETTE that Dr. Parcell had beaten Mr. Martin Grace at a game of checkers, blindfolded, bas caused a good deal excitement among checker players. Tbat way of conducting a game had never beta attempted here before. 3(r. L. Rosenberg, formerly at the Cekt store, has accepted a position at Frank A Rothschild's great clothing house of the west. Mr. Rosenberg is a pcpular young man, not alone with thepurcbasing public, but with his employers in whose interest he con* stadtly labors.

Treasurer Paddock yesterday oan celed $7,000 more of the City's bonded indebtedness. Of this, $5,000 was C. T. H. A C. bonds, and $2,000 E. T. H.&C. bonds. The whole amount cancelled during the year bas been $60,30.

letter has been received from Mr. W. S- Ryce who is now in the east buying goods. A day or two ago there was a heavy crash in certain lines of domestics which he was happily able to take advantage of. In a private letter he states that he n%ver bought goods so cheap before. He is in excellent health and spirits.

Fred. Cook, the popular North Fourth street butcher, received a pair of enow white Pekin ducks the other day, from Connecticut. These b:tds are Datives of Pekin, Chida,and are very rarely found in this country. They are valued at from $15 to $20. and their egirs sell at from $5 to $6 per dozen.—fJournal.

Tbe weary traveler never finds a more comfortable haven of rest than the National Hotel of this city. This establishment is presided over by three gentlemen who thoroughly "understand the secret of conductiug'a hotel, and of makins: their puests comfortable. The table is always supplied with an infinite variety of choicest viands, and the wants of guests are attended to by a corpse of polite and efficient waiters. Messrs. GarviD, Heinley & McCoskey executed a line stroke when they moved the office of the hotel to the ground floor, and their business, which was always large, has precsptably increassd since this improvement was made.

Painters have been at work during the past week on the building occupied bv R. W. Rippetoe, ou South Fourth street. The front has been painted white, in order to correspond in

outward

farewell letter to

appearance, as it does in

internal conduct, with it3 famous phototype on Main street. Rippetoe is always up with the times. He watches the market, and keeps his stores filled with tho commodities which tho public taste call for. As the Easter season is now upon us, Rippetoe has laid in an extra supply of eggs, which he is selling to his customers at a treineudious rate. Notwithstanding the extraordinary demand, he sells at the lowest market price. He receives daily, a supply of butter fresh, sweet, and of the best quality, which he deals out to his moriad of patrons, at the lowest rate. He keeps a most complete assortment of vegetables and fruits, received daily from tropical markets.

Everybody will want a good dinner to-morrow. The fast ends to-day, the feast begins to-morrow, and everybody must bo supplied with something extra in the way of eatables. At Rippetoe's you can find all the essential ingredients of a fiast class dinner. And you need not be told that much tiuit» and trouDle is saved where you are enabled to purchase all you want at one establishment.

Coofare Bros., tbn'new firm of undertakers, whose establishment is located on Main street, near Eighth, are making an elegant display of barial cases of all patterns, from tbe most costly to the cheapest. These gentlemen thoroughly understand the business, having been engaged in it for a number of years, and all who favor them with orders will be furnished with the best goods thH undertaker's art can construct. Their new hearse, which cost over $2,000. is attracting a great deal of attention. Call and see them,

THERE is something that tbe medical faculty should not Ipse sight of and that is that good'buniored doctors seldom loose their practice!

And there is something that business men, clerks, and others should not lose sight of and that is that Bruning's is tbe place to* get a good square meal. He sets before his patrons, everything which tbe most comprehensive appetite could crave.

The season for driving and riding bas fairly opened, and1 the large stock of horses and*carriages in the splendid establishment of Burgan & Milligau is almost constantly employed. It you wish to take a drive to-morrow, you will do well to call and engage your turnout to-day, as you will tcarcely be able to find one disengaged, when tbe morrow's sun goeth down. Go to Burgan & Milligan, Third street, between Ohio and Walnut.

It would do your soul good lo soe tbe elegant carriage wbich Phil Sheridan has purchased for that blessed baby. But as it will cost yon a great deal of time and trouble to visit Chicago, you can console yourself by visiting tbe establishment of W. H. Scudder and feasting your eyes on the elegant array of beautiful infantile equipages to be seen there. Remember Scuader is anxious to Bell these carriages, and you crfn buy them now for a very small price. We were about to say that Scudder keeps one of the finest assortments of confectionary in the St ate, but everybody knows that, hence, argument is superfluous.

Buntin A Armstrong are refitting their elegant soda fountain, and in a few days it will be ready for use. They will keep on draught a supply of foreign and domestic mineral waters, such as Congress, Blue Lick, Kissengen,

Ac.

The soda water from this

fountain has always enjoyed the highest reputation for purity and excellent flavor. Flavoring syrups in infinite variety are to be found here every syrup yon ever beard of, in fact. The cigar case at Buntin A Armstrong's contains some of tbe best and cheapest cigars in the city.

The GAZETTEER yesterday afternoon in his diurnal perambulations over town, happened in on F. J. Hess, the South Fourth street agricultural man. Hess bas a natural knack for understanding (he peculiarities of machinery* He knows exactly what tbe farmers want, having once been a tiller of the soil himself. He attends all of the large faris and peraonolly inspects the improvements in machines. He never hinds himself to sell one maebine for a long period, but in keeping with the spirit of tbe times, be takes advantage of every improvement, after having first satisfied himself, as his experience in such matters enables him to do, that the improvement is a useful one and that it is the latest and the best.

He has acorn planter this season, ."the Climrfx," which is a marvel of nice workmanship, and for easy accomplishment of the marvel designed. It is simple in construction, aud yet can
