AMERICA HEDimA.
(Concluded.) J
The export of meat is still in its in
fancy. The State of Texas alone is
capable of producing sufficient for all
the consumption of Great Britain,
and hundreds of emigrants are pour
ing into that great State every day.
The difficulties ot carriage are almost
certain to be surmounted by science.
I have mentioned the production of
Only three great staples of export;
but the money value ot the hay crop
in the Lfnited States is really greater
than that of the cotton crop. There
are almost as many quarters of oats
produced as of wheat ; there is rye,
petrollum, arid fruits in abundance
we can scarcely realize. Surely it is
a land teeming" with corn, and wine,
and oil, and cotton; with every kind
rtf animal, vegetable, and mineral
itealth, and anything may be predict
ed of it. "Among all forms of mis
take," says George Elliott, " prophe
cy is the most gratuitous." " Man
must1 always carry a threatening
shadow underthe full sunshine." Ami
there are, and are always to be, plen
ty of shadows hanging over tire ml
man element in America. The wide
spread political corruption, though
probably not so deep seated as in Rus
sia to-d;iy, or more noxious than in
England one hundred and fifty years
ago, is a malignant disease that may
easily have a fatal termination unless
it is arrested in time. Its causes are
multitudinous enough and subtle
enough, I imagine, to elude the ob
servation of those quick-witted, I ut
perhaps not always deep-witted, crit
ics who wish to found thereon a de
structive charge against the republi
can form of government. The charge,
as we see, may be equally well leveled
against an autocracy or against a
monarchy with such very limited
popular representation as exist d in
VValepole's time. And eviden are
not wanting of great improvement in
the United States compared with t In
state of things existing five or six
years ago. But the reform must be
determined, and a new departure
people spend. Their general extrav
agance under the influence of the war
fever and irredeemable paper, was,J
am inclined to think and hope, a para
sitic growth that has been lopped off.
It is a countiy where no man is, from
the necessity of his position, hope
lessly cut off from his chance of the
best. It is emphatically a land ol
"equality of conditions." Behind all
is the wide West, with any quantil
of excellent unimproved land still to
be bought at three and a half dollars
(15s.) per acre. This suits all pockets.
The man with Capital can do well by
breaking the lands up and renting
them; the laborer, with any energy
and wflfk in him, can soon lease a
farm of one hundred and sixty acres
for himself, and finally own it.
In these Western States there
seems an issue for the agricultural
labor difficulties of other commits.
A bright future can scarcely be hoped
for farmers.or laborers, either 6ft the
continent of Europe, so long as the
great standing armies are maintained,
or in England whilst our very limited
quantity of laud is kept at an alto
gether artificial price by the action of
laws which induce the plutocracy to
invest in it, regardless of return of
interest, lor the sake ol social import
ance and enjoyment of sport, and
where none of the workers on the
soil farmers or laborers can look
forward to its ownership. The ex
traordinary productiveness and fa
cilities for com rtiu ideal ion with mar
kets give the agriculturist far better
chances in America than anywhere
else. Throughout all tin; recent hard
times, no man able and willing to
work on a farm has ever been
bailly oil. inert has always been a
demand for such laborers in excess of
the siim.lv. and at no diminution of
wages looking at wages in the only
true sense of their purchasing power.
Of course they will have their dif
ficulties in the United Slates in ibt
future aA bey have had them in the
pa.-t. We shall no donbl. very soon be

safer ground. "Things won are j maud, and cause a decline in prices ;
done." The prosaic fact remains and Great Britain takes nearly two
that the exports from America for thirds of the total American exports,
the year ending 30th Juno last, j so that she is a large factor in all cal
mnimti.,1 tn u.ifinn finn or nmr cubuions of future prosperity. With
than double the amount of any year
rest of the world, so, now that she
has been through the unpleasant pro
cess of liquidatiotn, it is likely that
her good time will Again start the
ball in the opposite direction. We
h.lve probably a good deal of liqui
dation to get through in England be
fore we are purged of our troubles ;
but if the American tariff be speedi
ly altered, we may, perhaps, be found
with our loins girt, and in a better
frame of mind for solid work and
real business than we have been in
for years. We, too, have had our
period of demoralization. After the
Foreign Loans Committee and the
City of Glasgow Bank, we shall nev
er more be able to throw stones' at
oar commercial neighbors, but we
may do something much more useful.
We may make our work more perfect.
There i an anciont proverb (Russian,
I believe) "If every man wouldonly
keep his own door step swept, how
cU an the town would be!'' Instead
of those on ihe "upper plane" always
falling foul of the workingmen s
shortcomings, let litem1 the business
men among them especially consider
a little what example they set. Let
them consider that almost all the
worst kinds of shame have their roots
in extravagance, whether of employ
er or of workman of man or of
woman. There is something too
much of this in the latest develop
meuts of our commercial life. But
this may be a passing phase. We
may reform it altogether. One thing
is certain, namely, that all gaiir' of
real wealth in America must be of
id vantage to England, and it will
mrely be the first sign of impending
lecader.ee if the business men of this
country, instead of putting their
shoulders to the wheel to carry their'
charriot over all Obstructions, con
tent themselves with Cherishing vin
dictive feeling to rivals
before the war, while the increase in
exports of grain alone amounted lo
22,000,000., and of provisions to 19,
000,000., compared with 1868.
Our exports from Great Britain
have incieased at times with marvel
ous rapidity, but I do not think that
' we ever accomplished the -feat ol
doubling them in so short a period as
sixteen years. - In America's case it
has no doubt partly been a conse
quence of excessive' borrow ins; but
looking to the fact that four ot those
years were occupied with an interue
ctnecivil war, and the liberation of four
or five million slaves, on whose labor
the production of cotton the most
valuable article of export mainly de-
f ended, It is an astonishing result. If
Vof. Ca irnes had lived, he would have
seen during the last three years the
exports from America exceeding the
imports by 100,000,000. The effect
on the exchanges has been to "enable
the country to keep all its own pro
duction of gold, and the government
ought on this 1st January to have an
ample ;oiu reserve for the resumpt ion
of specie payments. Another effect
has been that a large mass of securi
ties has' been taken back, so that
President Hayes was recently able to
say, "A tew years ago the 'govern
ment bonds were larrjeh' held in for
eign countries. It is estimated thatl tie
in 1871 from One hundred ana sixty
to two hundred million pounds were
lield abioad, and there was then pad
from ten to twelve million pounds
annually to Europe for interest alone.
Now it is estimated that five sixths
of thetn are held in the United Stales,
and only one-sixth abroad. Instead
of paying to foreigners 10,000,000.
we now pay them only about 2,400,-000.-,
or 3,000,000. a year, and the
interest on our debt is mainly paid to
our own citizens." The principal of
the debt has been reduced by 160.
000,000. and the annual interest by
about 10,000.000. a year, owing to
the reduction of capital ami refund
ing at reduced rates of interest.
It is probable that the accumula
tion of capital will now proceed at
an unprecedented rate in America.
The savings bankV returns are verv
remarkable. In the New England
States-alone, out of a population of
3,500,000 persons, there were, in 1876,
lj223,00O deposit accounts open,
with 64,000,000. deposited. It is true
that these institutions' are used by
others lhan the poorer classes. A
capitalist, by putting $1,000 in- each
ot half a dozen names, mav have
$6,000 in one bank for the sake of
the fite or six per cent, interest paid.
But making allowance for this, the
statement is still marvelous, for the
great mass of the savings really be
longs to the workers, not to the capi
talists as a class.
Three things are necessary to ma
terial progress and prosperity in such
a country as America and we may
frankly include a country nearer
home capital, labor, and thrift. The
experience of the past five years has
taught men there to labor more and
spend less on luxuries. The gambling;
element has been very much weeded
out of business. The characteristic
attributes, of the real American
masses are thrift and "invention ever
neW." I use "thrift" in the sense
that they are not wastrels. They live
more comfoitably and generously
than- any other people in the world,
but they spend nothing like the
amonnt in drink that the English
dissatisfaction in llie West and South
there will be a much louder demand
for lice trade, and if I were lo depart
from the golden rule of not prophe
sying, it would be to hazard a guess
thai the next great agitation will be
for tree trad? ; and the next great
difficulty will be the silver question.
And America's action on these two
questions will have a bearing, difli
cult to exaggerate in the potency of
its effects on our future here in Eng
land. Under the exisiing protective
tariff the import ot railroad bars, for
instance, amounted to only 100. this
year, against 4.000,000. in 1873': this
may be accounted for, however, to
some extent by the growing use of
steil. In 1872 the production in the
United Slates of Bessemer steel rails
was ninety-four thousand tons. In
1877 it had increased to tour hundred
ami thirty-two thousand ions. The
import ot cotton manufactures was
3,000,000. against 6,000,000. in the
same period. On the other hand, the
exports from America of iron, steel,
and the manufactures' of these metals,
was 1,100,000 greater this year than
in 1808; the exports of cotton maiiu
fact ires have more than doubled dur
ing the past five years, ami the U. S.
now consume 22.6 per cent, of
the world's total production of cot
ton, instead ot 19.1 per cent, before
war. But considering all the

outcry that has recently been made
about the export of American manu
tactures, I confess I am surprised to
find that this year they only amount
after all lo five per cent, of the total
exports of merchandise 7,000,000.
out of 145,000,000. Without enter
ing the tempting field of controversy
between free trade ami protection, it
may be surmised that the protection
ists in America will shortly be draw
ing a striking parallel between their
own regained prosperity (if it lasts!)
and the existing state of things in
Great Britain under free trade", thai)
which nothing could well be more de
.plorabie. But t hese selected parallels
t re not very useful. Incon ventetit facts
so often com immediately to refute
all the conclusions arrived at. There
can be lii le doubt that if the con
sumers choose to pay more for in
ferior ;oods of native manufacture.
America is capable of producing al
most all that her inhabitants require.
And this is especially true of iron and
cottofl goods. Mow long will the
West and South consent to this ? In
the existing conditions of the world
a bad state of trade in one great
connt ry immediately affects all orher
countries, and if things go from bad
to worse here, the continuity of im
provement in America may be very
rudely interrupted. It is very cer
tain that if we are kept out of mar
kets for our manufactures, we cannot
spend the same amount of money on
raw products. For the last five years
we have had not only the old protec
tive, or prohibitive, dirties against us,
but also'lhat economy in censiimp
lion Which we have seen to follow
the picking of the frnancbd balloon.
It may, I think, be safely predicteu
that America will not go on forever
wearing her old shoes. There is still
almost infinite capacity for railroad
extension ; and nev: roads, built with
decent honest y, a'0 the present exces
sively low prir.es of iron, steel, and
materials generally, are almost cer
tain to pay ianuso"meIy in time. Cap
i al is yr-t timid naturally, poor
thing, af'.er recent experiences ? but
the go-' ahead nature is certain to pre
vail i-a the end. And just as Ameri
caV, bad time started the ball for the
party. The power that holds them
there will force them tobetravaL
The lines are being drawn. The
recent election for speaker has de
monstrated the fact that no man can
be depended upon who is not of us,
by us, and enrolled among us. The
Democracy should cease lo mock the
farmer, the laborer and mechanic
with its fahe and hypocritical profes
sions of currency reform. We re
peat the warning. The country can
never be relieved from the bankrupt
ins hard money pressure, it can neves
regain its prosperity, it enn never
beat back the advancing hordes of
Shylock, it can never slay the rank
monster, through the machinery of
any party except one created and
constructed especially for the work.
Greenback men will hereafter vote
with the Greenback party. There
will be no more flirting with political
prostitutes. He who is not of us is
against us. There is no half way
ground, and no more bogus Greei -back
stock can be sold by the Demo
cratic Board of Trade. Every Dem
ocrat in congress has sworn allegiance
to the Money Power and given the
lie to every Greenback speech made
by the Democracy last fall.
"Henceforth the Democracy must
seek some other issue than the cur
rency question. The only members
of congress who proved themselves
true to their constituency and their
pledges were the fifteen Nationals
elected as such. To the ranks of this
party alone can the country look
with safety fir loyalty and unflinch
ing fidelity to the people's cause.

But I have left myself no space for
the silver question. Indeed 1 should
not have made so bold as to refer lo

keeping in mind in regard to Ameri

monetization ot silver in Europe has
essentially been :n immense measure
of contraction of the former circulat
ing medium, with the consequent
great inconvenience of a general tall
in prices, as measured in gold (the
result of which may, perhaps, go a
long way to account for the exisiing
wretched state of trade throughout
the world), it is open to question
whether, after all, Europe may not
have eventually, to seek an umlcstaml

a relation between the value of gold
and silver coins all the world over.

Ecijsoeru( ic Iteii-ujul.
Every Greenback man, whether he
trains in the ranks of ihe Nationals,
Democrats or Republicans, ought to
be satisfied by this lime, that lliere is
but one Greenback party. More lhan
one-half the votes cast for congress
men last fall, were cast by men favor
able to the Greeyuaek principles, and
voted for the caHlidalcs of '.heir oid
parties, because loose hypocritical as
pirants for office pledged iheuiselves
lo represent those principles, and lo
exert their official influence to carry
them out if elected. They ought lo
have known belter, but experience,
although a dear school, is the only
one in which sonic people can learn
wisdom. Thousands and thousands
of Democrats and li' publioans threw
away their votes lasl lull in all the
western states, especially in Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and
Kansas, in aiding the election of the
nominees of their own party, pledged
lo the greenback principles and poli
cy, believing that such pledges were
made in good faith and sincerity.
They were warned that the green
back professions and pledges of no
man cotld be depended upon whose,'
attachment to party was stronger
than his love of principle. Tlnre
was a party thoroughly organized
with Ihe greenback cause as its foun
dation, and he who professed that
cause but refused to worship in its
house would betray it it intrusted to
his keeping. These warniiigs were
not heeded. JVIcii did nt believe
there was so much hypocrisy and
generality in the average politician.
The result was, that through the
division of the Greenback strength,
the Republicans vm successful in
many siates by plurality votes, and
in every instance vhere the old pur
lies elected their candidate, on the
greenback issu es, that candidate be
trayed his co nstituency, in I he recent
election for peaker of the house ot
representavives.
How r.iany Democrats of Indiana
voted ibr present members or con
gress because they were professed
Greenback men ?
Hot many Democratic members
oi' congress owe their election lo their
pledges of fidelity lo the Greenback
cause, and lo votes that would ' not
have been cast for them hut for their
professed oppositions to the haru
money theory ? Had the test beeu
made on election morning between
H. B. Wright, greenback Democrat,
and Samuel J. Randall, hard-money
Democrat, not a Democrat from the
slate of Indiana would have been
elected who declared for the latter in
preference to the former. So yotir
members have sold you out, betrayed
you and they will continue to do
so, as long as they remain in the old j

After practicing medicine many years in this city,
during which time 1 have had an extensive experience
in the application of all kinds of 'trusses, I can and
do recommend yours as the best in every respect, for
it is as near perfection as modem science can make it.
It has many advantages over the torturing steel-hoop
Trusses, which inflict great injury on the hips and
spine, bringing on other distressing ailments, such as
lumbago, morbid affections of the kidneys and numb
ness in the lower limbs, all of which are avoided by
wearing the California Klastic Truss. It is not only a
perfect retainer, combining ease and comfort, but the
pressure can be changed to any degree. It also re
mains in its proper place at all times', regardless of the
motions of tiie body, and is worn night and day with
perfect ease. It is superior to any of the Llastie
Trusses now in the market, while it combines the
merits of all. 1st It- is easily adjusted on and off
with snaps, doing away with straps and buckles.
2d The universal spring between the plate and pad
prevents all irritation, which is a god-send to the suf
ferer. 3d. The pad is adjusted on and off in an in
stant, and can be changed for any other size and form
most suitable to the case. In fact it combines every
quality essential to comfort and durability, and is un
equaled in lightness, elasticity, natural action, and
artistic finish. Many of my patients who are afflicted
with hernia are wearing them, and all shall in the fu
ture, for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are .r.ade efficacious, is
trulv remarkable. You can refer any parties to me
on the subject of their merits. I remain truly yours, '
