FAtmSLAXD THE tiKoWTM OF THE XAT TIOXAICAPITAL CARL M'HL'RZ ' BKTROTHKD. Washington, D. C, Sept. 11, 1880. The bu m mary statement of the imports and exports of the United State for the lineal year ended June 30, 1880, as made up ty the bureau of statistics, is emphat ically the record of n great business year, of the gmcrnl revival of industries, and of the resumption ofjiralthy proportions in our exvluui'gpft of commodities and inerchamli.se with foreign countries. J his will ajijif-ar plainly enough from the iigurc-s, as compared with those for 1879. ThesK figures which are presented in de tail kIiuw a positive increase in our abil ity to buy increased quantities, not only of articles of food, fine wear and luxury, but also of cchmodities for use in our manufactures in a still larger proportion. This, the increase of the importation; of woolen goods, silk goods, tin plates and leather, though large, is not near so great in proportion as the increase in the im ports of raw , hides,- crud india-rubber, block and pig tin, ray silk and raw wocl. So, likewise, the comparison between the increase in imports of manufactures of wood and iinHrts of wood to be used in our domestic manufpetures slums that the latter must, be inert '.".sing in a more rapid projiorti'jii thau tl.- foreign impor tations which are brought into competi tiii with llu-iii. While no doubts are euiortaiijpil at the State depni-tm'Ut;is to the truthfulness of the a'tlidnvits tiled there, sotting t'rth outrages committed by vessels Wari'i" the Spanish il.iig upon American wiliuou rs, yet it is Uiheveu tliat any indignities or insults otWfed to Aniorictsu ships could be explained by the fact that sensational stories reached Madrid to the effect that privateers were being fitted out in the United States to assist the Cubans in their insurrection against Spain. These rumors naturally gave rise to extreme caution n the part of f panish captains sent to watL suspicious looking vessels, and this perhaps is the reason no explana tion has been made by Spain. Although the Secretary at State has not expressed these view, fie has said "that he believes a thorough and satisfactory explanation will be rendered." His view is support ed by the fact that a communication has been forwarded to the Spanish minister from Ws home government containing a system of commercial exchange between this country and Cuba, by which the most important products of Cuba can be shipped to this .country. This proposal is regarded as an expression bn the part of the SpmiL.h Government to remain on friondly terms' with the United States. Numerous complaints are being receiv ed here in relation to the bad tiektment of German naturalized citizens by the Government of their own nativity on their visits to the Fatherland. From this it appears that the German Govern ment no longer makes any pretense of complying with the terms of thfvJBancroft treaty, which was made for the protection of German naturalized' citizens. Many of them have been ordered to leave the country almost immediately on landing, the question first being put to .them whether they are willing to serve in the German army, which f course they an swer m the negative. Prof. White, of VrnplI University, who is now the American Minister at Berlin, has uttered the same lament as Mr. James Russell Lowell at Madrid, that he could find nothing to do. But if he would look after the protection of .these American citizens it would give him plenty of occu pation. The census shows that during the past trn years Washington has increased 38, 304, Georgetown, l,19t, .and Washing ton county 6,06, the percentage of in being 35 percent tar Washington, 59 per cent for tlve county and 16 per cent for Georgetown. The white of the District have increased 29,958 ajod tffce colored people 1 .os. The nles have increased 21,40i and U' females ;24,536. The larger prsportioiiate increase of females is accounted fer by the number of women who have come to the District to seek clerkships and otjjer situations. The rumored engagement of tl.e Secre tary of the Interior to Miss Anna Fish, a clerk in the Department of which the former presides is strongly confirmed. This will perhaps explain the steading conundrum among the Goyerptoeatclerks of how, in view of the Civil gets ice doc trine, the father of the bride can hold a Government position worth $3,000 and his daughter, another worth $J,800. G. NATIONAL PLATFORM, ADOPTER BV THE CIXCIXXATI CONVENTION. The Democratic party of the United States in convention assembled, declare: First We pledge oursehes anew to tie constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party n illustrated by the teach ing and examples of a long line of Democrat ic statesmen and patriots, and embodied in the last national eeaveotiou of the party. Second Opposition j to centralization and that dangerous spirit of encroachment which tends to consolidate the powers of all the de partuients in one, and thus to create, what ever be the forms of government, a real dep otism; uo sumptuary law; separation of church and State for the good of each; com mon schools to be fostered and protected. Third Horn e rule, ionest money, th strict maintenance of public faith, consisting" at gold, silver and jwper convertible to coin on demand; the strict maintenance of the public faith, State and national, and a tariff for revenue only. Fourth the subordination of the military to the civil power, and ageueral and thor ough reform of the civil service. Fifth Right to a free ballot as the right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be maintained in every part of the United States. Sixth The existing adimnistraton is repre sentative ot conspiracy only, and its claims of right to surround the imllot lx.e with troois and deputy marshals, to intimidate and olwtruct the elections, and by unprece dented use of the vote to maintain its cor rupt and despotic wer, insults the people, and imperils their institutions. Seventh The great fraud of 1876, by which, upon a false count of the electoral vote of two States, the candidate defeated at the polls, was dectarud to be l'residont, and for the first time iu American history, the will of the people was set aside under the threat of miliary violence, stnlck a deadly blow at ous system of representative govern ment. The Democratic party, to preserve the country from the horrors of. a civil war, submitted for the time, in the Arm and pat riotic faith that the people woul 1 punish this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and dwarfs every other. It imposes more sacred duty upon the people of I lie Union than was ever addressed to the conscience of a nation of freed men. Eighth We execrate the course of thisad ministrtttion in making places for liolitical criminals, aud demand a reform by statute which shall make it forever impossible for a defeated candidate to bribe his wnv to the seat of a usurjier by villainies upon ihe peo ple. Ninth The resolution of Samuel J. Tilden not again to lie a caudidate for election, the exalted plaoe to which he was elected by a majority of hfs countrymen, and from which he was' excluded by the leaders of the Re publican party, is received by the Democrats of the United States with sensibility, aud they declare their confidence in his wisdom and patriotism and integrity, unsullied by the assault of the common enemy, and they further declare to him that he is followed into the retirement he has chosen for himself by the sympathy and respect of his fellow-cit izens, who regard him as one who, by ele vating the standard of public morality and adorning and purifying the puhlic service, merits the lasting gratitude of his country and his party. Tenth Free ships and a living chance for American commerce on the sea and on the land, no discrimination in favor of transpor tation lines, corporations or monopolies. Eleventh Amendment of the Bitrlingamr Treaty; no more Chinese immigration, rxeep for travel, education and foreign commerce, ana therein carefully guarded. Twelfth Public money and public credit for public purposes solely, aud public lands for actual settlers, Thirteenth The Democratic pnrty is the friend of labor and the laboring man, and pledges itself to protect him alike against the cormorants aud the commune. Fourteenth We congratulate the country upon the honesty and drift of the Democrat ie Congress which has reduced the public ex penditures to $40,000,000 a year; upon the continuation of prosperity at home aud the national honor arboad, aud above all, upon the promise of such a change in the adminis tration of this government as shall insure its genuine lasting reform in every department of the puhlic service. .
