Tue Thinvsr. stated expressly that tho site wnson a binff, which would necessitate the expenditnre of rome $30,000 for leveling bofore the fonvdation conld bo put in, but the character of tho Iand nronnd it was bot- tom Iand, which wo still believe is true. Tho Journal says that Chester ix twenty-five instead of fifteen miles above Grand Lower, which wo do not think important, and which still leaves itin an extreme southern pocket of the Sinte and ont of the rango of the greater part of the sonthorn district which in to supply the new Penitentiary with pris- oners. ‘Tho simple fact is that the Commis- sioners seom determined to locate this Pon- itentinry at some remot point where it will reqnire yenrs to bnild it, nnd to enable the expenditure ef threa or fonr times as mach money ns ought tobe spent upon it, Gov. Cunrom, in his own interest and the intorest of the Stato, shonld bring them up with a round turn whon vetoing their latest selce- tion, The intorests of tho State require (1) that the new Venitentinry should bo built ox soon ns possible, in order to givo Jolict the relief it needs fo badly; (2) that it shonld be provided at as small an exponss as possible 5 (8) that it should bo located ns near tha cen- tro of the district ronth of the Hine running north of McLeqn County as is feasible; and (® that it should heve the quickest and cheapest communication attainable with St. Louis, the natural base of supplics and t.o bert market for the prodnet of the convict Inbor, Chester fulfills nono of those re- quirements, Groat pofita and advantages that would have followed tho auncxation of Ban Domingo, Uecanse of the absolute commorcial freedom that would have been established ho- tweon that island and this country. It did not occnr to the President, as it ns not ocenrred to thousands of others, that annexa- tion waa in no wise essential to the utmost freedom of coimmorcini exchangen be. tween nations, During the oxistence of our frenty with the British provinces Canadian lumber was imported into the United Btater, and a large business was ostablished in New England for the manufacture of doors, win- dow-snahes, and other matorials of that kind, which ‘oro oxported. ‘Cho repenl of the treaty added 20 por cont to the cost of the materin}, and the American manufacture for oxport dropped off. But tho British provinces, which had dono nothing of this kind before, picked up the trade just whoro the Americana left off, and are now carrying it on extensively. Chili, in Bonth America, imported in 1876 from Grent Britain 55,000,000 yards of cot- ton cloth, and from the United States 5,000,- 000 yards, Why did the United States ex- port no little to Chili? It is notorious that the New England mills can and do export their cotton cloths to Bugland, whera they aro sold at a profit. The American manu- facturors have many advantages, ‘The cost af Inbor in the cotton mills fs the same, and the cost of manufacturing cotton cloth is less in New England than jn Great Britain, The ronson why Chili buys her cotton of England instead of tho United Stntes ie that the British take their pay in barter, Tho Amer- ican refnses to do ro Lacausa the Jaw docs not pormit bin to tako his pay, diroctly, in Chilinn producta, Chili produces copper and. wool, ‘She British vessel takes out a cargo of British goods to Valparnigo, sells them for 8 cargo of Chilian products, earning tho profit of carrying both ways. The Chihan copper is taken to England, is converted into coppor and brass manufactures, and sold to all parta of the world, While wo export $1,000,000 of, oppor nnd brass aunnally, Groat Hritain-axports 425,000,000 worth, We hnd several ostablishments for the manufacture of copper which, because of the prohibitory tax on Chilian copper, have been closed np. Mr. Write further Some obvious typographical errors were made inan article in Te Tainune yesterdny, reprodneing Mr. Conrax’s estimates of tho various obligations in this country which the monometalista propose shall be paid off in gold alono. Of coure, it should have reid $1,600,000,000 of national bonds, $1,000,- 090,000 of municipal bonds, $2,000,000,000 of railroad binds, and go on, instead of drop- ping the last threo ciphers of theso figures, But the most glaring error was that which anid that it would bo absurd to attempt to poy off these thonsands of millions of indebt- edness * on $2,000,000" of gold. That would certainly be truco; but it wonld bo almost equally absurd to mako the attempt on $200,- 000,000 of gold, to which the people would be limited by resumption on an exclusive gold basis, and which was tho figure meant to be atated. HOW SHALL 1HE NATION REGAIN PROS- PERITY 3 In the Jnly-August number of the North American Review appeared an article by Davin A. Writs, undor the title of “ How Bhall the Nation Regain Prosperity?” In that article ho arguzd that the United States, for the production of o large class of com- modities, had peculiar and exceptional nd- vantages, but thero was a deficiency in the demand for these productions which ought not to exist, Whilo it was natural that the world should buy largely of onr manufactured pro- ductions, tho world does not buy of us, but does buy of others. A consequence of -all this fs, that Inbor fs Jargely unemployed, fixed capital is unproductive, poverty in- creased, immigration diminished, omigration Degnn, and all the conditions leading to crime mado greater. Tho inqniry raised by these cirenmatances is, How can we crente a demand and markets for those productions? In the Soptember-October number of the samo review Mr. Wents publishes his seo- ond article, in which ho undertakes to show, in part, by what agencies the demand and a market for American productions have been checked and reduced; how the channels of trade have beon uecdlessly obstructed; and how these checks and obstructions can be removed, As preliminary to this, he ex- plains the character of human wants, No man in civilized lifo ever produces all he wants. ‘To gratify his wants ho draws upon all parts of the world, even to supply a very ordinary brenkfast. ‘To the’ extent that he ean trade feuly, he can gtatify his wants and increaso his happiness, Even tha anvage, when bronght into contact with civilized man, wants to exchango what ho has for that which he has not, Ono of the first acta of a new settlement is to open roads of communication with other settlements, Wo all rejoice at every invention or discovery which facilitates tho transportation of prod- nets and their exchanges; we look upon anything which offers the meana of rapid aud incressed exchange as public bonefac- tions,—as the means of securing new wonts and new satisfactions, This is why we trode, How wo trado is explainod with equal clearness of illustra- tion, Money is not an essential but a con- venienos iu trado, and for the exchange of productions and exchange of labor, The man who pays $5 for o pair of shoes ex. changes the labor which produced the 86 for the labor of tho shoemaker. It was the exchange of Inbor, the money serving mere- ly ag 9 conventence in the transaction, Tho office of money ia the samo in all transac. tions. All trade, o# a matter of fact, is barter, and in order to sell wo must buy; ho who won't buy can’t sell, and he who won't sell can't buy. Notwithstanding the recog. nized.truth of this proposition, the United States havo said to the American producers and Jaborers, ‘‘Yon shall not sell tho products of your labor to other countrics”"; and in thus shutting others ou2 wo havo shut ourselves én, This is Trouble No.1, The honze is, however, too amall for tho pro- ducing capacity, and Remedy No, 1 is to re- move tho holts, take off the locky, open tho doors, and, getting out, cloar off all the ob- stacles and obstructions to the froeat inter- course with the outer world, Ag on illustration of tho practical opera- tions of the unobstructed exchange of com. modlities, compared with a condition where such exchanges s.0 hampored and bound by logal restraints and prohibitions, he points to the commercial relations botween the United States and the British American provinces, Prior to the treaty of reciprocity tho value of the exchanges betwoon the provinces and this country was about $20,000,000 a year, Under that treaty the value of the exchanges fiually reached $84,000,000 8 year. During 1878 the freight, or commodities transported on the railroads in tho United States, amount- ed to 200,000,000 tons, which, valued at $50 per ton, would give as the value of the prod- ucts of labor agchanged by -means of the railroads alone at $10,000,000,000, Estimating the population of tho United States to be 44,000,000, this exchange of product was equal to $1,000,000,000 for evezy 4,400,000 inhsbitauta, The population of the British provinces was 4,000,000, These provinces are separated by an iinaginary boundary line from the United States, but closely connect- ed territorially, Tho total exchauges between the United States and the 4,000,000 of peo- ple in these provinces amounted only to $8,000,000, Such intercourse was prohibit. ed, obstructed, and checked by law, while the value of the exchanges between the peo- ple of tho soveral States of the Union, being free and unrestrained, amounted for each 4,400,000 of people to $1,000,000,000, ‘The difference betwoen these sums iudicated to some extent the effect of restrict ive snd prohibitory Jaws upon the exchange of commiodities,—the trade and barter between communities, Hemove these barriers to trade with the British provinces, and our exchanges with them will, as be- tween ourown people and States, increase, giving to both countries the benefit certain to attend free commercial intercourse. Mr. Werxts describes very fully the condition of the States of the Dominion, and the matual benefits of freo intercourse. He points out tho fallacy of suuexation of States as a neces- sity for commercial reciprocity, He cites the caso of Sau Domingo, the annexation of which was so earnestly alvocated by Presi. dent Gaawz, In the last measago of that of- ficer he pointed out in glowing terms the It was the gentleman in plush who dis- turbed the equanimity of the ‘‘swarry” by informing Bir. Bam Wettzn that he had re- signed the position of footman because ho had once been asked to carry coal up stairs, and on two occasions, when there was sick- nossin the house, had been required to eat cold meat, and perhaps itis tho result of somo similar suffering tunt has indneed the formation of n Chicago Cooks’ Pro- tective Sociaty. Tho certificate of or- ganization waa filed ot Springfield yesterday, and shows that tha Society 4s formed of hotel cooks, whose object is the elevation and protection of cooks in gon- ernt and to act as a safeguard of their rights and interests.” ‘To what othor base uses tho hotel proprictors have ondenvored to reduce their cooks, that this step shonld become necessary, is not apparent, but if the order should succeed in the “ elevation” of its components above warming over old hash and dishing-np nnshavon and nncombed but- ter, the ‘ nghts ond interests ” to which thoy propose to be ‘‘ safeguard” will not be lim- ited to thoss of the members, Chilinn products which we exclude, but which our rivals take in oxchango for their monufactures,—extending his references to the trade with the Argentine Ropublic, Ans- tralia, New Zealand, and other States. -'The grand reason why thesn countries buy elne- where instead of in this country is, that Amoricans wou't taka pay for thoir mannfno- tures in the productions of other countrica; they aro not permitted to do so; and whore they won't buy, thoy caunot acll. We have contented ourselves with a mero abstract of Mr. Wents’ article, which is ably written. Ho has not, however, oxhausted the subject, and will continue it in futuro numbers of the Review. 7 — — = & ‘SA policeman” (number not registered in our dispatches) has informed 3 New York World correspondent that Sirrixo Btu, is an alumnus of St. John’s Collego,—a fact ox- torted by the policeman from the alumnas himself. Corroborative of this aro state- ments of several ‘traders, who remamber Srmrtixo Bows at Fort Garry, and who assev- erated that he iss half-breed} and that his name is Coantrs Jacons, Further ovidonce of his studious habits is furnished in tho statement that he is a master of English and French (accomplishments, \ by the way, which pro-eminontly qualify him for resi. dence in Canada), and that ho is a brilliant conversationalist on all subjects “excopt his future nection, which might make him a val- nable acquisition to the United States army in the evont of another Indian war, As to the graduation of Srrtxa Bur, B. A., it will be remombored that the law is inclined to look suspiciously mpon confessions to policemen, but as to the coguomeal ‘attrib- utea of tho wily ‘Chief, it will bo gratifying to our renlers to learn that he was originally Jacons, THE "TRAMP" PROBLEM. Prof, Fnancis Warnanp, of Yale, chose a timely and practical topic for discussion be- fore tho American Social Scionca Associn- tion whon ho sclected the Tramp.” The species now universally known under this designation is a peoulinr mixture of pauper- ism and crime, with tho Jattor clement pre- ponderating, and has increased so rapidly of Inte years on to require attention not merely as neocinl nuisance, but a political and na- tional danger. It came over to ‘ns from Groat Britnin, where it has been recognized a4 a social oxcrescence for many years, and treated with varying snccosy and failure, But, as most things develop more fully in American soil, eo tho tramp has become more oggreasive, and his othor name is legion, in the United States. Ho has almost pro- greased into a condition of organization, where be can count upon. the co- operation and assistanco of ao follow in any part of the country, and he enjoya peculiar advantages for his criminal practices in hig nomadic lifo and bis uniform Appearance,—one tramp looking as much like anothor tramp os one Southern negro looks liko another. He infosts cities, towns, villages, farming districts, railroads, the highways, and country roads, Ho is pro. {ossedly an itinerant beggar, but in fact o predatory thief and scoundrel,—rookloss by +A letter from Joliet, printed in another column, makes a most startling exhibit of ex-Goy. Bzvenror's misusaof the pardon- ing power, This statement, mado up from tho records of the Joliet Penitentiary, shows that, in the dying days of hia torm, the ro- tiring Governor commuted the sentences of n largo number of conviots which ox- tendod yeara boyond DBevenror's tart. Of thoso, no less than serenteen wore mar- dorora, so that the ox-Governor seoms to have been opposed capecially to pnoishment for tho crimo that ranks as tho most heinous in the calender. Was this pardoning of mur- derora a species of insanity? ‘That theory is certainly the inost charitable that can be advanced. If it was not this, perhaps ox- Goy. Bevenwvor will explain what induced him to make #0 flogrant an infringement upon the prerogative of hia succcasors, and virtually exerciso the pardoning power long after his rotirement from office? It will be woll, also, for Gov. Cuio0M to ascertain from the legal advisers of the State whother his predecessor did not exceed his authority in this matter; if ho did, and there is any way of revoking his wholcsale commutation of sontences for murdor, stepa should be taken in that direction, ‘Tho New York Z'imes, in drawing ntten- tion to tho recent article in Tux ‘Immune which made some valuable estimates on tho wheat supply aud the probable forcign do- mand for this year, makes some modifica- tions of its own, which are worthy of con- sideration, Mfr, Jasra Cain ostimated that the amount of wheat that will probably be required by Groat Britain will be 88,000,000 bushels, but other authorities have placed the British requirements as high ag 90,000,000, and indeed this amount was imported by Great Britain last year in addition to tho home product. Tux Tamunr’s estimate was also based on tho assumption that the foreign demand from other quarters would be equal, and the supply from the Black Sea countrics would fall off ono-balf; but the Z¥mes very justly points out that the foreign demand from countries other than Great Britain will be likely to incroaso; thatthe deficiency from the Black Sea is likely tobe more thon one-bolf, and that probably the supply of other gountries will fall uhort of the avorage, Tux Tarnune esti. mates wero certainly within bounds, and these possible modifications will only be the more favorable to American interesta, 1f the crop shall prove to be as much ax 325,- 000,000 bushels, and there be a surplus of 111,000,000 (thongh this :may be cut down somewhat by an increased consumption at home), there is no doubt that, with the qon- tinuance of the ‘Turko-Russian war, Great Britain will take all the wheat we can supply at fair prices, ‘The Springfield (UL) Journa} makes the serious charge that ‘tux Tnipune has been guilty of exaggeration in saying éhat Chester (the site which the Commissioners want ac- cepted for the Southern Penitentiary) is only fifteen miles north of Grand Tower, and that detection and arrest, and brutal in his pas. sions by reason of being cut off from tho restraints of civilized associations, The try agree that ninety-nino out of evory 100 tramps are thicves; some of them may rofrain from stealing, if they can beg what they want, but, as a rule, all will steal rather than work, ‘Their inatinots aro not those of solf-presorvation alone, but destructive, and on this account they aro ready to become allica of tho trades-uniona and the Cofmmunists in any demonstration against capital; this was abundantly demon. strated in the July riota that grew out of tho railroad strike, It ia in this respectthat they aro the most dangerous, sinos they are dis- tributed in large numbers throughont the entire country, fomenting the Commuuistio sentiment ond ready to join in riot, incen- diarism, plunder, vandhuiim, or political ter- rorism st tho elightest provocation, What is to be done with them? Social ‘and religious influonces cannot be counted on for doing much moro than they have dono while the evil has beea growing, and these influonces become lesu ofticiont, of course, with the incresso of the evil, The most that can be done in this respect. is to iscournge as far as possible the pernicious practice of giving alms to beggars, but this will always be governed mainly by impulse and the ciroum- stances under which alms ore asked, A general rosumption of business prosperity and increased demands for labor mey check the growth of the tramp-system in the way of redneing the numbor of its recrnita, but it will scarcely regain any of those who have already relapsed into confirmed habits of idleness and the free indulgence of inclina- tions and passions. ‘The law and the police are the only agents that can deal successfully with the tramps, and there is great difforonce of opinion and necessary uncertainty a3 to the best methods that may be adopted. The Winois Legislature last winter passed a law which, it was hoped, would restrain some- what the tramps of the country and the vagrants of the city; but its principal defect is that it rests the responuibility of enforcing the ponalties and supporting the penal institations on the local authorities of city or county, which Prof. Warnawp con- dens. Experience seems to have taught that, in leaving lnwa against tramps to be carried out by local authorities, there isa constant effort to shift tramps fromone town to another, or from one county to another, iu order to get rid of the expepse, and they still go marching on. ‘The Now York sye- tem, adopted by the Logislature of that State last winter, is commended as the beat by illustrates his argument by reforonce to other | reason of his superior chances for escaping®| police authorities in Englond and this coun.. Prof. Warraxp, Tt mnkes the Btate assume tho charge of the tramps, and nppoints Btate Commissioners for the differont judicial dis- fricts, who aro required to hire houses for tho detention of tramps (men nnd women being kept separate), provide them with on- forced labor during the torm for which they arecommitted, allow thom afair compensation for tholr Inbor, ohargo them for their board, and give them any surplus at tho ondof thelr term which they may have earned by indus- try and spplication. Magistrates are ro- quired to sentonao convicted tramps for not Yeas than ninety daya nor more than six months on the first charge, and not Joss than six months nor moro than ono yenr on Anil. seqnent arrests and conviction, to tho State houses of detention. As these houses are only rented, theron isno permanont invont- ment on tho part of the State; exponres can be regulated acconling to the numbor of tramps; and any deficit in running there inatitutions {a more thon countorbalancod by tho relief thus fnrnishod to tho county jails and city armori “TRE BAYAZID MASSACRE, ‘Tho correspondent of the London Times with the Turkish army in Asia Minor sends that paper, under dato of Aug. 5, an recount of tho Baynzid maasncto Inst duno, the de- tails of which were furnished him by Sir Anyonp Keapaut, the English attache with tho Turkish army. From this nacconnt, which is fu the nature of ou offlcial report, wo select the following statoment of tho horrors that followed the Russinn surrender: At the appointed time tho gates were thrown open, and the garrison, unarmed, flod ont.
