If they aro not, then thore ig all tho moro neod of tho Inw and its rigld onforce- ment, Tho Roston Adcvertivwr, as a spokesman for the Now, England gold clique, delivers ~ Uself of the following taunt; ‘Thera wilt not only be no silver legislation during tha pre: ‘easlon, but no bill chang- ing the colnage laws will be sont to the President tube vetoed, The only sorry hearte that love Iver too well, but vainly, on the Republican side, aro now inclosed {a the office of ‘Tne Citicano ‘Sumune, Deaorted in its ferocious campaign * for wore white dollare by ite former leader, the Cincinnatl Commercial, tt has been beating the alr ~-and ouly the air—with itv loud complaints for the past three weeks, All to no purpose, ‘Tho vroducts of the valuaule mines in Leadvilte, owned by Chicago capitalists, must go upon tho market fora year tocumo at bulllon rates, It ts sad, but tt cannot he helped," We advise the Boston Advertiver and the people whom it ropresents in this businoss to laugh whilo they can, If there is to be uo “uilvor legislation” at the present ses- sion, at ix simply because thore haa been no Prcper opportunity for any legislation ex. cept the Democratio partisan schemes for which the extra seusion was called.

Tho joint caucus has déeided upon tho pas- sage of two bills,—flrat n bill providing for, all judicial exponsos except those of thu Mar- shals, whose componsntion is to be provided for in, second, a bill appropriating $600,000 for tho pay of Marshals, with the condition that thoso officinls shall take no part in elec- tions under penalty of fn fino of $5,000 for overy violation of this act, Thnt is to say, tho courts will be allowed to go on, but there shallebo no officers to servo §niicial processos or execute judicial deorocs untess there officors rofrain from executing a law of the United States rolnting to elections, It is n mattor of courgo that tho Prosident will veto the Inttor bill, and in the ovent of tho refusal of the Domocrats to provide for the Marshals before adjourning ho will direct their attention to the omission, and when they Lave gono hotne it wil! be with tho proud conaciousness of having paralyzed ono finger on one hand of an arm of.the Govern- mont, whereas they threatened to annihilate the whole body. : ens MR, THURMAN AS “THE ARTFUL DODGER.” Mr, Taunway hos been the pivotal point of the oxtra eession of Congress, His tho main considerations for tho partisan action of tho Inst Congrosa which necosnitnted tho calling of tho oxtra session. It was in. tended that the orgnnization of both tho Honse and Sonate should bo favorable to hin ambition. The House programme failed in tha defont of Buacxnunn for Sponker and the election of Ranpazz, who is a Trupey man, But Tuvnstan wos moro successful in tho Senate, whore he made himself President pro tem., ond carried out tho old-time spoils doctrine in a fashion to antisfy the most ada. mantine of the rock-rooted and mountain. buttrossod Dorgocrncy. Itwas Truman, also, that devisod and inaugurated the starvation and “‘Inat-ditch” programme which was so engorly adopted by the extromists like Bracxnvuny, Cuaritens, MoManox, Sparxorn, nnd the like, and obedience to which was The success of this programme was based upon an as. sumed Inck of backbone in the Presidout, whom it was erroneously supposed the threat of starvation, with a monaco of attack- ing his title in the background, would bring fo terms, Dut thé vortobrm discovered in White Ifouso nocessltated a back-dlown, and Mr, Tuumfay os beon put tu his metal to invont expodionis for retreating from the original revolutionary purpoac, Tor the past alx weoks ho has boon making spoo ches with the double design of gotting ontof tho scrapo for which he was chicfly responsible, and at tho samo tite rotaining the good will and confidetice of the Confederate Brigadiers and the wholo line of “ Inst-ditchers,” Mr, Tuvnman’s double-barrelnd efforta in the esucns and jn the Sonate Chamber havo been tho moat morvelous specimens of contra. dictory, incoherent, and meaningluss ha. rangues on record. If ho has not disgnated both the extromists aud the consorvatives of his party, thon the Domocrats nro either the most amiablo or tho most obtusd crontures in politics, The crowning effort in Mr. Tnunsan's trimming careor, however, is tho Proposition to sopnrate the appropriations for tho’ pay of United Statea Marshals from tho remainder of tho judicial expensos, and, after provid. ing for tho imnintenanco of the United Btotes Courts without restriction, pags a bill containing the allowanco for Marshals along with tho restrictions as to the Election Inw which callod ont the President's voto, There is only ono moro ridiculous proposition that it would have beon possible for Mr. Tnunstan to auggeat, viz: ‘Lo appropriate in a separate bill for the pay of United Statos Court Janitors, and mako such approprintion . condititional tipon anullification of tho Election Jaw. hero would bon cortain anblimity of fally about that which Mr, Tnuawan'a half-hearted schemo about the Marshals docs not attain ; the janitors might then appeal to tho coun- try agatuat the discrimination and injustice of the Demouratic party, and an iusuo would Lea made ontirely worthy of ‘Vnonsan aud his following, Aw it fx, Tuunsan wante tho alna of tho President visited upon the United States Marshals, ocnuas Marea would not Approve any of the Democratic monsurea for repealing or nullifying tho Election Jaws, tho Morshals of the United States Courts must work without pay or tho mandatos of those courts must go unoxeented, Asan illustra. tion of a non sequitur, this project is richly absurd, and could ouly have bowen improvod by tho selection of the Janitors, instead of the Marshals, as iho objocts of Democratic rovengo, . By this now suggestion Mr, Tnunatan bas fairly earnod the title of “The Artful Dodger,” if thero was any previous doubt ag to hia claim to that distinction, ‘The Demo- crate were afraid to carry out the starvation policy, aud well thoy might bo; indeed, Mr, ‘Tnonaan, who is oredited with tho invention of that policy, was ono of the first tondvise that it bo abandonod, Yet this deuigning but timorous old domagogna wants to main. tain the somblanoo of couraga by starving out a fow subordinates becanso the Prosldont will not accede to the Domooratio’ demand for tha doatruction of the Eleotion law. Was there ever auything more ridiculous and puorilo in the conduot of National Jogisla. tion? From the dizzy hight of Btate Sov- oreignty, where the Democrats proclaimed in stontorian tones tho alternative of aban. doning National authority over National clec. tions or sturving out the Government, these Scheming politicians, under tho loadoruhip of Mr, ‘Tuuwwan, havo crawlod down to terra Jirma ond there pipe out that thoy will mako tho Maruhals of tho’ Courta suffer y way! A contest involving ‘an casontial principle of Govornmont hag dwindled down tothe dimensions of Paltry annoyance, ‘Tho latest proclamation of tho Democratic caucus boars about the same relatien to tho boaat at tho beginning of the seezion which the sound ofa ponny whistle docs to that of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: A tuba or trombono; Mr, ‘Inunaran fa still a blower, but ho toota go tility that ovon his own party must remark the loss of wind, ‘Tho trimming nnd pettifoyging of the Democratic managets i Washington can nearcoly fail to oxcite tho disgust of the en- tire country. Hnd the Domocrats proceeded wich their original design, they contd at least havo claimed tho courage of thelr convictions tnd exacted suck respect as is tstally ex- tended to auch att exbibition, howdrer tik. guided. Whon thoy discovored that thoy wore running conuter to public sentiment, the principles of a froo and roprosontative Gov. ; ornmont demanded that they should complote- ly abandon their scheme and aubmit the ixsno ton voteof tho people, ‘The purposo fs to expunge thé Election law from tho atatnto- books, ‘The Democrats have not naw, aud. hava not had at any timo, the constitutional majority to accomplish this in spite of tho Excautivo veto on bohalt of tha people, who do not want the National Election law expunged or nullified, ‘Te Domeorats nro apparently afraid to go to tho people uquarely on this issue, which would be the propor eourse for them to purse, and huve resorted to n num- ber of weak expedionts to evade the fiual test. But tho pettifogging has now been carried so far that the American pooplo havo become nalinmed of the intollectual woakt en, aa well assuspiolous of the partisnn purposos, of the Domocrate under Mr. 'Tnunsan’s lead. orship, rete THE BENEFIOENCE OF OUR EXPORT TRADE. Even at tho risk of offending tho Socialists, and especially tho cight-hour philosophers, who protest agniust tho exportation of Amor- ian surping productions to Europe, wo must call nttontion to a now branch of business whichis foreed to yield to Amerivan competl- ton. Tho English millers aro fluding that they can no longer cotumand their flour markol. ‘They aro the purchasers of American wheat, which they mannfacturo into flour tlireat, or use it mixed with British wheat, Now it fs found that American flour cau bo sold in En- gland at ratos which ronder British milling of American grain no longer profitable, ‘Cha cost of tranaportation of flour to England is 10 per cont less than that of whent. Tho Proportion of wheat to the flour produced from it ia nearly as four to threo,—tho large difference being advergo to tho foroign millor, As it is cheaper, theroforc, to grind the wheat in this country and aend tho flour instend of the grain, tho American ground flour can be sold so much less than the four made of it in England, Thora aro two or three items of expense which load up to the succoss of this compe. tition, Thero have bean recently introducad into the flour trado bags which weigh but one-half pound, with tho eapnalty of 100 pounds of flour, this being a handsome sny- ing m freight. Anothor item {s that thero 1s a stron demand in Western Europo for brau and other mill offal, for fooding cattle. This commodity has been commanding relatively high prices, which have been enjoyed by the British millors, tho bulkiness of the bran and the consequent high cost of transportation provonting itsimportation into England from this country. ho British millers havo, thorefore, beon making aprofit on the bran, which helped ont tho business of make ing flour from American wheat, But ovon this advantage of the British millor in now overcome. Atmericnn millora hava adopted n. process—now~in operation in Chieago—by which bran fa:compressed into enkes, ocoupying not more:than one-sixth the spnea oceuplod hy the orlginal bulk, aud ean thereforo he shipped: at the samo rata na corn, weight for weight,’ 16 is not sup. posed that this process of compression in. volves any sorious coat; ‘ani tho probability is, thereforo, that bron wilt honceforth bo addod to tho lit of our gxporte, If these circumstances be ng stated, and they shall bo maintained, thera will bo a serious revolution in ont trade of grain ox- ports. Soscon as American-made flour can bo sold chonpor in England than British flour mado from American wheat, then, in- stead of exporting wheat in bulk, whoat will bo sent forward in tho form of flour; and, in addition, wo will forward the bran, for which thore will of nocossity bo n Jorge markot, Should thia revolution in the grain trade take place os anticipated, and as nll the ciroumstances seem to indiente, then the milling industry in this country will receive a large addition to its bualness, as will also some other trades, Ta tho eight-hour platform published in this paper on Sunday lost tho export trade of the United States was denounced os a wrong ngainst Iabor, It was Toprosonted that very dollar's worth of Amorican prod- uote exported to Europo was that much taken from tho earnings of European Inborors, and was therefore an wnjustifiable asenult upon the European family of labor, Tu order to pro. vent this supposod interforance with Inbor In other countries the redugtion of production in this country was demanded, and asa pre. liminary step tho productive Inbor must be reduced from ton to elght hours por day, ‘Tho argumont is that wa are too happy; that wo havo tuo much broad and moxt to ‘ont, anil too many clothes to woar; and if wo only produced enongh to moat ont actual wants, and nover bata bushel of wheat or of corn to well, nor a box of sboos, or a aida of loath. er, ora balo of cotton, or gallon of Potro.

That wos tho argu. mont of the alght-Lour platforin, which, as wo havo said, donounced our export trade og an act of inhumanity. In what wo havo anid concorning the probable dostrnotion of so much of the Britivh tnilling business as consists of grinding Atnorican wheats by the export of American-made flour, it lu pos. siblo that the Eight-Hour Loaguo will dig- cover another crimo ogainat humanity and another blow at Britlal Inbor, ‘Tha annual importation into Groat Britain of articles of food increases largely, ‘This is duo to tho faot that, without broad from with- out, the native supply would bo so far dofl- cient that tho price of bread would place that article beyond the roach of tho majority of the peoplo, ‘Tho result has beon that the United States is now supplying Grent Britain with food at wuch prices that (he consump tion of broad has not only increased in tho aggregate, but also per capitis ; which moans that moro poople now oat broad than for- merly, and that each man eats mora broad than he did before bread bocaine chionp, Wo'export to Europe cotton to the value of $200,000,000 annually, ‘This, instead of boing an interferénce with the labor of Great Britain or of any other country, has furnished the labor of various countries with employment, and furnished those countries with uot only cheap cloths for woar, but tho materia! on which to carry their largest industry.
