It is apparont now that if tho rogularly- chosen delegntes from nll parts of the Stute are atmitted the antl-Tilden element will bo in a declded majority, but 1t will be the poltey of tha Tilden managers to soize the organization of tho Convention and control its preliminary action to tho oxtent of excluding all but thoir own machine delegations. Undoubtedly their plans nro well and carcfully Ind. Tile den js oan adopt nt this sort of chicnnery, and fs not going to loosen his grip nt this critical Junoture, Ho is desperately doter- mined on bossing New York tn Cineinnati, for without the’ support of his own State bo would ‘be out of tho race elthor nga candidate himeclf or tho dictator of tho nomination. His ex- preaeei deslro for harmony at Syrictiso to-mor- row rathor than for his own porsonal success deceives nobody, for he knows porfcotly well that to secure harmony he bas only to distinotly withdraw oan Presidential candidate, But he has no {doa of withdrawing; he was nover more Intensely desirous of the nomination thin he {s now, and there! no longer any hope for hare mony at the Convention to-morrow. TILDEN AND THE DEMOORATS, Mr. Titden’s affairs seem to be approaching nerisis. It would appear to be almost inev- itnble that Tilden’s status og o Presidential candidate will be determined after tho Now York State Convention, which mectsat Syra- ctse to-morrow, nud that some approximate estimate can be made of his chances to'se- cure the Cinehnatl nomination if he remain in the fielt, Meanwhile, all is chaos, No grent party was ever so beset with fnetions as the Democratic party !n Now York State. Dissenstons are so rife that not merely two but actually three Conventions are among the possiblities at Syracuse, Jolin Kelly may or may not endeavor to get Into the regular Convention with his Tammany following; If he make the attempt it fs Wkely that he wil fatl, so that in any caso Tammany will prob- ably have n Convention of its own, But there igalso a strong anti-filden faction which does not afiliate with the Taminany organt- zation, which 1s nm peentiar Institutlon of New York Clty polities, It is rep resented that the anti-Tilden sentiment “throughout the State has elected a large ma- jority of the delegates fo the Syracuse Con- yention; the number {3 estimated In some cases ns high as two-thirds of the whole, If this be correct and the regular delegates bo permitted to exercise theii rights, Tilden’s fate will be settled adversely to his “elatm without counting the ‘Tammany faction. Dut, on the other hand, it ts sald that the ‘Tilden managers propose to imakd up “ paper delegations” ant contest the rights of the regular anti-Tilden delegates. ‘Mlden will not go into this sort of business without sate Isfying himself that he can carry ft through. In thut ease it seems to be Ikely that the anti-Tilden men will withdraw, and set up an Independent Convention of their own, elaimiug to be “ regular” both ag against the Tilden ond the Kelly Conventions, ‘Che situation Is certainly very complicated. ‘Thera seems to bo as greatban uneertainty about Mr. Tilden’s personal Intentions as thore Is nbout the vuteome of the Democratic disseusions which his presence In the fight hus developed. On the one hand, there isn report, based upon whut Js represented as “the most authentic information,” that TH- den has het a consultation with his lending adherents, und that it was then decided that he would not’ be n candidate. On tho other hand, “0 confidential friend? of Tilden's Is reported ns saying most emphatically that Tilden wilt not withdraw, but is making the most earnest political contest ot his fife. 'This, we are assured, nny be secepted as “absolutely correct.” A. third version of Tilden's personal position 1s that hs designs to hold on long enough to secure for Ulmsell ® preponderating influence in determining who the Democratle candidate shall be. ‘Ti+ den's real status may probably be found somewhere between thesu conflicting state- nents. Heo must be dismayed himself at the many-stded dissonsions In the party; and, while he fs acandidate and will not spare any effort or expense to carry the day in his own State, he is probably prepared to with- draw If it shall become evident that his ean- didacy will be hopeless, and If he shall bo able to make conditions that will give him an Important {ntlueneo In the choice of a candl- date, ahand inthe campalgn, and a dicta- torin] position in cnsa of success. Even If tho result of the Syracuse Conven- thon or Conventions shall be favorable to ‘Tilden, so faras securing tho regular New York delegation goes, that will not end his contest for the Cincinnat! quemiluation, but only determine whether or not he will con- tinueta make the fight. Theirreconellableop- positlon of the ‘Tammany factlon will remain, and It will have Its influence at Cluchinatl in splte of a solld Tilden delegution, ‘John Kelly fs reported to have declared that ho will not support Tildon aven if New York shall send an unpledged delegntion to Cin- elngatiand ff the Natlonat Convention shall noMfinate Tilden under ‘that econditten, ‘Tile den ‘will also encounter at Cincinnati tho de- termined antagouisin which his candidacy has Arousedt tn other sections of the country, and partleularly in the Southern States. It would sev to be almost hinposslble for him to se cure two-thirds of the Cliclanatl Convention asimutters now stand. ‘There is ono event whieh will almost assuro ‘Tltden's rejection, If Gen. Grant he nominated by the Chicago Convention, Tilden will bo dropped by the Democrats, ‘the Southerners have already propared the way for this by threatenIng that certain of thelr States will vote for Grant ag agalust ‘Tilden, though they promise a Solid South for any other Democratic candidate whether the Republicans nominito Grant or not, On the whole, the Republicans cannot safely count upon dissensions among the Democrats whieh depend upon ‘Lllden's can- dldacy. THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE, ‘There has been another meeting of sugar: denlors In New York to appeal to Congress fn tho name of honesty and justiee against tho swindilng and rebbory now perpetrated under the sugar tariff Sceretary Shorman olticlally Informed Congress n yenr ago of the frauds practiced under the Sugar law, and appealed for legislation to break up the system, but the Demoeratic Committes of Ways and Means did not dare to give the subject even a respectful consideration, ‘The Chairman of the meeting, Judge Me-, Adam, stated tha object ofthe meeting was to urge on Congress tho necessity of legisin- tlon to break up the present monopoly. ‘Tho romedy was shmple and direet, and that was to fix Wepeelfio duty on sugar,—so0 much per pound,—leaving nothing to be determined at the Custom-Houxes but the welxht of each hoguhead, Watson W. Moore, an expert, atated that the loss of revenue through Traud was $15,000 a day, of $5,000,000 a year, und this fraudulent system had been In suce cessful operation during ten years. ‘The cone trot of this business of sugar (nportatton ‘was tu the hands of o fow men, havlug a cop- ital of $10,000,000 at thelr command, ‘I’holr sugars were delivered at private ducks and were graded privately by customs oflicers, ‘They had driven thirty prosperous business dirms out of business or {nto baukruptey, A Mr. Knowlton, who had been fn the business since 183, gave an Interesting but technical explanation of the operation of frauds under the existing law. Mr. Lawson F, Fuller had been fn the sugar trade for twenty-five years, The present Inw had sinco 1870 driven $25,000,000 of invested cay {tal out of the business, and had reduced tho nunibor of refineries from fifty to twenty: one. A trifling one-sixteenth of a cent pound on sitgars made n difference of $1,000 aday, or $300,000 a year, to soma of those re finers, After discussing the subject fully and explaining tho failures to get any atten- tion at Washington, he ls reported to have thus reforred to the Chairman of tho prasent Ways aud Means Comnilttce: Ho thought it was a burning disgracn to tho Nation that such amin ns Fermindo Wood should be nt the hoad of the must important committee In Congress, and ho would aay to the Democratic party, that su long as thoy kept such ton at the top the party would be'iikely: to remain at tho bettam. Fancy thut man coming to Now York na be did to inquire Into tho frauds at the White Iousol Fernando Wood looking at fraud! (Laughter) Why. Just Fo soon as he struck fraud he shut i uiokor thin Ughtning,—ho was a fraud himself, and avery man in tho country know itl In con= clusion, Mr. Fultor denounced the frauds of tho Sugar, {ting as vustor by far thin those of tho ‘Tweed Ring. The present tarlff imposes duties on sugar according to thelr “color,” following In this Instance an old standard adopted by Totland acentury ago but. not followed In any other part of the clvillzed world, The discoveries, the prosecutions, and convictions in some of the Courts, where it was proven that linporters had thelr sugars artificially colored in order to have them entered at low rates of duty, ought to have been suffielent to satisfy Con- gress that that test’ of sugar was only in- tended to give Heense to fraud, ‘The polarl- scope wns then intruduced into the Custom- Mouse to deteet the saccharine quality of the sugars, bit, as this requires an expert and a muchine, importers have only to mako It profitable to tho expert, who examines thelr sugar at thelr awn premises, to practice greater frauds even than wore perpetrated under the artificial-coloring practice. One of these. speakers Hlustrated his description of the sigur frauds by stating thatthe sugar was imported tn hogshends, and during the voyage these Hogsheads wero kept lylng on thelr sides, the molasses in the sugur all settling to the under side. At tho Custom-louse the quality and color of the sugar was graded by tho saturated sample tuken from this part of the hogshend. The dliference in the grading was equal to half a eent per pound, or $7 in the duty on each hogshead. 4 The general fact, however, disclosed by tho proceedings of the mecting was that all these frauds in the matter of sugar finporta- tlon: nre’ notorious; that thelr existence has been thne aud again established at Washing- ton; thatthe Department has reams of re- ports ‘by its own agents as to the existence and as to the enornity of these frauds, and the great loss of revenue; that all this testl- mony hag been presented overand overagain to the Committee of Ways and Means, and that that Committee peremptorily refuses to report any bill or In any way pernilt the subject tu vome before thy House for action, ‘The fact Is, the Sugar Ring is the malnstay of all the monopolies, [tls the cashier ant the payinaster, Orit of its $20,000,000 annual profits it can afford to run iw committee, or even & whole Congress, If neces sary. It coerees the representatives of all theother monopolies by threatening them with destruction if they permit the sugar mondp- oly to be broken, Spenker Randall’s Demo- eratle Committee of Ways and Means have niade themselves the spectal protectors of the sugar frauds und ull the other monopolies, and they are able to protect all theso by re- fusing to nllow any bill proposing a change of Jaw on any of these questions to get before tho House where a yote may be taken. ANOTHER IMPERTINENT CLAIM, There fy reason to fear that the present Congress, under the cover of silence aud with a pretense of conservatism, conten | plates making serious raids upon thy Public Treasury, ‘Lhe Democratic cauens has its party voto well Ju hand. ‘The practice has been successfully inaugurated, in the ensue of the Army bill, of shutting off debate by stubbornly refuslug to answer the attacks or arguments of the opposition, and then pass- Ing the Dill in question by w strict party ma- jority, ‘This policy fs peculiarly favorable to jobs of all kinds. It Is cuteulated to sup- press all exposition of tho real character of any subslly or clatm, and then rush It through without reference to tts merits, There are numerous Jobs-before Congress of both public and private nature whereby the public may bo swindled out of millions of dollars, It may be that the Democratic ma- Jority will not dare to pass them at the pres- ent session, just preceding a Prestdentlat élection, but they will all beina shape for hurried uctlon atthe closing session of tho present Congress next whiter, Reference was made the other day to an impertinent proposition to issue new patents tovne Morsu for Improved brevch-loading firearms and ammunition which he had trans- ferred to the Southern Confederacy when tho War of the Rebellion opened, and which were employed for the more. effective slaughter of Union soldiers during the entire period of tho War. . But the fraudulent elahuants upon public bounty are not con- fined to the Sonth, ‘Lhera must be Northorn, clans with which combinations can bu made that will secure Congressional votes from both sections. A conspleuous sumple of these aay be found in the Impudent claim of the “San Franciseo Land Company, of Plitla- delphia,” so called, which asks Congress to relmburse it for nn alleged tuvestinent in a fraudulent claim, ‘Lo understand the exact nature of this “elulm,” it should be pre- tixed that the United States guarunteed the validity of the private land grants which had been madoby the Spanish and Mexfean Gov- ernments when the present State of Call- fornia was acquired, ‘This guarantee opened up an oportunity for fraudulent grants, whish was abundantly improved, and the Government has expended large aniounts of money In defending them in tho United States Courts, The cnse represented by the “San Franelsco Land Company, of Philadelphia,” is described as follows by the New York Dhnea: ‘One of thoso fraudulent California claims was tint of Santillan, ‘Chia man was Padre Pruduns clo, & purish pricst of the Sisaion of Sian Fran elsco. | The chim was never heard of util 1860, aftur the udtisdion of California to the Unlon.

It 1s unreasonable to sup- poso that any person or any corporation, Ine vested tho sin of $1,900,000 In a land-elatin which had been flnalty adjudteated ns yold and fraudulent. Itts htzhly probable that not ono dollar has been put Inte the Job, ox- cept possibly for the employmont of lobby- Ists; there mny also have been some condl- tional division of the proceeds In ease tho Publlo Treasury should ever bo reached, But, oven if the ehutm was bought up by tn- nocent and verdant partes, and no inotter If the sum paid for it was large or small, there is not the remotest obligution on the part of the United States Government to retm- burse the Investors, A fool and his money are soon parted, and the resources of the Government would not hold out very long If it shoul undertake te assume all thé bad investments’ into which foollsh people are betrayed or which confidence operators de- vise. ‘Tho “innocent parties” fu the Phila. delphin Company are not so Innocent as the ‘men who have bpught and improved San Franelsco fots in goo faith. It ts notat all probable that the Supreme Court will ever countenanes this fraudutent claim; but, if Congress shatlsauthorize the reopening of the case, the men whu have the Job in hand will haveachleved their purpose, for the new litigation will puta cloud upon certain San Francisco titles which will enable the Jobbers to tevy blackmall upon the bone side owners. It is astunishing and disgraceful that such» scheine as this should gain so much usa hearing from the National Legislature. ‘Tho Committee whieh reported this bi is com- posed of Messrs.

PARNELL'S RECENT OAMPAIGN IN IRE- . LAND. Tho recent clectoral campaign in Ireland developed many phases in the political senti- ments of the people of that country, the most remarkable boing the completo and over- whelming repudiation of the clergy and of tho publicans os political guldes and prophets, and tho striking advance of the electorate in’ radical and modern idens, Previous to the pnssage of the Ballot act an Trish olecton--and for that matter an English election—was little better than u faction fight, ‘The unfortunate voter was threntened with eviction by the landlord If he voted for the Whig candidate, agd if he voted for tho ‘Tory the priest field fddh no pleasant prospects: for him In Kingdom Come. ‘The ‘Tory enn didates in those «ays were usually rich jen,—landlords,—aul the purchasabie non- voting clemont was always on thelr side, being well paid for their sweet volces. Another and more independent element of the non- electors was ranged on the slite ofthe Whi, who always, before election, was a great patriot. Lf the unfortunate tenant voted fora Whig, 0 ‘Tory brick was sure to descend on his sealp, and a bluckthorn descended on the head of lim who voted for the ‘ory, (Rotten egys were not known in those days, — they are a reeont Saxon Innovation and not artall Sikely to be popular as weapons of of- fense.) During electlons then, the country was ina stuteof slege. ler Majesty's red- conts were constantly marching from county to county; the police fores hid their hands full, and reinforcements were called in from Matta, Gibraltar, and other places to preserve the pence between the splrituously und spiritually Inspired factions. ‘The hiuuguration of secret voting under the Ballot net completely. destroyed. the political power of the Inudlords, and {t looked for a time as though the. Catholic clurgy would have [tall their own way fn the rural constit- ueneles, and that in the boroughs they would share polltieal power with the rumscllers, ‘Tho iirst elections under the act occurred In 1874, und resulted in the return of a set of politienl immbugs, professing TMome-Rulers. and Land-Roformers, who previous to clec- tion were most ardent patriots, quoting Moore by tho yard, appealing ty the past glories of Erin, and flercely indignant at the spolintion of the Holy Miuther, and so on ad neuseam, <A few men of guod abllitics were elected; but the general character of the representatives was not much better than that of the Tories they displaced. In somo Indtanees the elorleal candidates were op- posed by the furmers, and notably in Limerick County, where the elerical cand!- date, an aristocratic Catholle, was utterly routed by a tenant-farmer who served his Apprenticeship to patriotism fu the County Jatt for his connection with Fenianism, At several of the by-elections which occurred between the Inst general election and tho previous ono tho clerical candidates have Deen beaten by mon more in consu- neneo with popular feeling, But it was not until Parnell appeared on the scene that the utter powerlesness of the clerical vlement to control the peoplo’s choles was fully demonstrated. Tho first trial of strength occurred at Ennis, in Clare, The eandidute was a Catholic Inwyur, well con- nected and wealthy, Mr. Parnell mtted agaloat hima young journalist of National proclivities, but, ike most members of his professton, without much money. ‘The battle was flerce but brief, and Parnetl’s candidate was triuinphuntly elected. A fow . similar contests took plice subsequently, resulting generally In the. defeat of the clurical nominee, ‘The clerical purty, however, refused to constter themselves beaten, and, when the general election of 1880 was announced, they set themselves to selecting candidates, with- out consulting the lay electors, except such fg they could control, Parnell arrived on the scenu from Armorles almost at the eleventh hour. and serlously deranged the reverend gentlemen's plans: Lininedintely the ery of dictation was ralacd; denunciations of Parnell were loud and frequent, but he was not snoved from his purpose, ‘Tha farmers, having full confidence In his judgment and integrity, requested him to ald thom In selecting suitable candidates, “His pros ence,” says the hostile correspondent of the London fimes, “ Inspired his friends with fresh courage and determination, His activity was remarkable, Io traveled from place to place with a rapidity which made iim seem almost ublquitous, und wherever there was a ditticulty he was on the spot to solve it." ‘The clericals in many Instances gave free yent to thelr rage, and at the now culobrated Enniscorthy meeting a mob was orgunized to provent Parnell from speaking, unt, although the accounts of the affair have been grossly exngyorated, they effectually prevented him from dolng so. ‘he Woxtord farmers had not the least sympathy with the mob, however, ag the result of the ulection proved, O'Clery, the clerical candidate, who {gn fulr sample of his class, and who an- nounced himself as “a Nationalist and 9 soldier of the Pope,’—he might have added asoldler of Jett Dayla, for he fought in tho Jebel ariny,—was left at the fout of the poll, receiving only.457 votes, agalnst 3,075 cust for Barry and 3870 for Byrne, the Purnellite candidates, In Ennlg, where he had for- morly, beaten the priest’s eandidate, und where, according to the local paper, “Pare nell’s candidate was denounced at all the masses,” his nonihee was elected by alargely Increased majority, In Gulway City the Cath olle Bishopand thopublicans (saloon-keeners) mate common cause agalust O'Connor, author of the “Life of Lord -Neaconsteld,” and notwithstanding tho ery of Atheist’? raised against hint he was elected, In Kil- tare County the representation since 1820 hns been fn the hands of two local aristocratic Catholic families, but the Land-Leagno nom- tnees, one of whom fs a tenant-farmer, swept. tho fletdl this timo despite the opposition of tho great mnjority of thoelergy. Nor have those Irish peasints any more regard for the traditions of the past than for the polltico-re- Ngions intlnences of the present, and they scem to be quite free from the anetent-glory- Evin nonsense, The O'Connor Von, de- seentant of ever so many Irish Kings, 8 very able gentleman, a great favorit with all classes, aud one who liad been marked out hy Mr. Gladstone fora Cabinet position, wits merellosly slaughtered at the polls in favor of Dr. Cummins, 8 free-thinker, but an ad- herent pf Parnell, ‘The churches of Hoscom- mon were rapidly vaeated by the male men- bers of the congregations when the clergy be- gan thelr polltical harangues In denunelation of Dr. Cumming’ loose notlons on dogma; not that thoso peasants cared Ittle for religion— for they aro Intensely devout Cathollcs— but they efred much for the politieal prine ciples advocated by thadenounced, Parnell's grentest trlumph, howover, was gained In Cork borough, where ho wags opposed by the Cath- olle Bishop and his clergy, and denounced on the Sunday preceding the Monday of elec- tion as “a firebrand,” “a selt-lectec dice tator,” “an American carpetbagger,” ete, ete, The publieans opposed him, and they area numerous body In Cork; the psoudo- nristocrats opposed him, and they are an in- fluenttal and an arrogant tribe In Cork; and the whole Murphy family—and every fourth man in the city by.tho Leo is 1 Murphy—op- posed him 3 yethe got nenrly five votes to every three east for hits opponent, Tho popular voleo was unmistakably in his favor, and with falr franchise his victory would have been overwhelming. As It was, the National- Ist element consider that Cork lns once more established its right to be ealled “Cork’s own town, and God's own city.” ‘The narrow ma- jority of 160 by which the clorleal party de fented an obscure and unknown candidate with an unfortunate name in Cork County, only goes to show how slender fs thelr hold even In that place, Parnell’s triumph fs unprecedented in Tre- lond.. The only chance the elerieals have of regaining their lost power Is to joln his party and go with them the whole length of the pro- gram. This they will searcely «do. ‘They ave naturally Tories, and wero It not that the Orangemen, whoso hostility to the Catholle Chureh Is so unstinted and bilter, belong to the Irish ‘Tory factlon, many of the clergy would have long since Joined that party. In England the Bishops, priests, and tho native Catholic element, with the exception perliaps of Cardinal Manning and the Marquis of Ripon, fought on the side of the Tories, ho archbishop of Dublin favored one ‘Vory and ono Liberal for that eity, and in a letter published on the eve of the election he docs not make as much as a singto referency to the Irish land question, or to the other poptlar issues on which the contest was be- ing fought. . His whole letter was about edu vation, and he favored the Liberal enndidate only beeause he pledged himself te vote for the denoninational system, Another {feature of the election, as well of tho ngitation which preeeded it, has been pointed out by Mr. James Itedpath, of the New York Trihune. He suys he was struck with the total absence of ull reference in the specehes of Mr. Parnell, My. Dillon, and their adherents to the past“ gloriesof Erin.’ ‘They allow the dead past to bury its dead, and’ speak about living Issues, Instend of quotations. from Moore, and the gushhig apostrophes to Erin so common in Patrick’s- Day utterances in thls country, thede young men—and it Isa hopeful sign that they are young inen—quote Lecky, and Jolin Stuart MUL, and Kaye, and Cobden, and other pollt- Teal veonomists; they deal In the hard logic of ‘facts and éschuw blarney and bosh, ‘Those farmers who attend the mectings are told that they have much to achieve before they become “the finest peasantry of the world,” Mr. Redpath, though an English- man, cannot but have respect for such agi- tators. He has been through the school in this country. Io reported Phillips and Gur- rison, and they talked no nonsense, but hard, stubborn common sense, and the doctrine of humanity. As he points out, there is hope fora people so educated as the Irish people now are, and: who march to the mectlag- ground singling songs to the alr of “Tramp, ‘Tramp, the Boys Are Marching,” or keeping stop to * Marching through Georgia.” WHAT BISMARCK 18 DOING FOR AMER. 10A. It is scarcely possible to estimate the ad- vantages whieh the United States wil! derive from Bismurck’s clforts to increase Ger- many's greatness, ‘The natural result of his work has beon to produce a state of aifalrs iu Europe by which our people cannot fail to bu benefited. ‘Those results aro nat likely to diiinish In the future. On the contrary, it may safely be predicted that tho polley of which Bisinarck { the author, and by which these results are caused, will long survive him, and that, lacking his muster-mind In its applicntion, tho effect of his policy must ba even muro beneficial to our interests than during his lifetime, Bismarek’s plans to aggrandiza Germany will tne evitubly, In tho near future, maka it inpossible for Europe to compete with us ag a rival in industrial pursulta, It le probable that this state of affairs would witinutely oeeur tn tho natural order of events, Hisschumes, however, have notonly roudered it certain, but they will probubly bring It ubout within a few years, AS a preliminary to the proper understand: Ing of this subject, tis necessary to refer to tho present public debt of Murope and to the .| Monstrous and constantly increasing ex- ponditures made by European Governments for the development and maintenance of thelr warlike power, Vifteen years ago the debt of Europe nuguuted to ¢4,000,000,000 francs, ‘It Is now 108,000;000,000 francs, Ju 1865 the expenditure for European armies and navies was 2,700,000,000 francs, In 1869 this expenditure reached the sum of 4,100,- 0W0,000 francs. ‘This debt lias Increased dur- ing tho Inst fifteen years at least 70 per cont, While the expenditure for warllke prrposes is now nenrly two tines greater than In 1865, Butthis Increaso of debt und swollen oxpenditura in proparation for war cover by no means all the burdens which Eu- ropean people ary foreed to benr, and whieh have thelr orlgin in Bismarek’s schemes, It ig necessary, also, to take inte consideration the iniliions of young men withdrawn for years from civic pursuits, and actually em- ployed In tha urmiea and navies of Europe, ‘To these should bo added the large and Ine creasing number of Europeans who emigrate + to avoid the conscription, and among whom 4s to be found some of the best skilled labor which Europe contains, « Itisnot at all probable that the debt of Europo will In futura be decreased to any, appreciable extent, 1f England by excepted, there Is not a European country which gives o moment's thought to the payment of Its debt, ‘fle English haves frou thie to time, been able to reduce theirs by sinall amounts, but in the present atdte of the Uritish Emptre, and particularly, df the fact Baconsidernd that the development of En- glish tndustry lina probably reaehed It maximum, stil sinallor reductions may be expecta. Asa whole, the debt of Europo isjfar more likely to be Inerensed as the necessitics arisa which Bismnarck’s policy issureto cause, Neltheroun ndecrense of army and nayy expenditure be expected. ‘The military system: of Gormany, for the adoption of which, in tts present form, he none ts responsible, 1s auch as to render neeessary every cight or ten yeara a lnrge {nerense of the perinanent army in order to furnish skeleton organtzations for the mobilization, when necessary, of her Increasing population. An inerease of the Gernian military foree, combined with Ulsmorek’s aggressive plans, make nveessary aeorresponding Increnacon the part of other nations, It may therefore be expected that the armies and navies of Europe will con- stautly by enlarged and tho expenditures for thelr maintenance swollen far beyond their present limits, ‘Shese causes will constantly and largely increrse the amount of. emigra- tlon from Europe to the United States, by which our producing power is so greatly augmented and that of Europe diminished. It J3 not an oxaggeration to say that Bls- marck atono is responsible for this condition of affairs. “It 1s solely due to, him that Ger- many.hag enlarged her armament to so enormous and ruinous an extent. His schemes for tha juerenso of German power, and the overwhelming force he lias prepared to carry out theso schemes, have driven other European nations to take measures for thelr own protection by every military developinent within their power. It has been necessary for them to incur this costly extravagance, or to submit them selves to his dictation without the power to resist. As In accordance with his wishes tho German iillitary and naval forces are aug: mented, so their warlike expenditures must become correspondingly greater, ‘T'lese con- tinued and costly preparations for war, with the unsettled and feverish condition of pub- Ue opinion to which ‘they give rise, must, of course, proportionately reduce the Industrial capacity of Europe, and thelr natural result eannot bo othor than to increas to ruinous extent the taxation to which overy material interest will be subjected. In tho United States we are subjected to no such drawbacks, Nothing but ourown imisinanagement or unwise legislation on the part of our Government can prevent the fullest development of our vartons tn- dustries, hero Is searcely un article, whether of growth or manufneture, ant which {s required In Europe, that we have not unrivaled factlitles for produging. Our breadstuffs have become o necessity to European people. Theagrieultural resources of Enropo cannot itt future be, enlarged to any great extent. Its ever-lnereasing popu- Intion must therefore seck elsewhere addl- tional sources of food, and In the supply of this necessity no other country ean for a mo- went compete with us. Our imines of gold wid silver, which have already contributed so largely to the monetary resources of tho work, lave by ne means reached’ their full- estdevelopment, Our manufacturing inter- ests have progressed to an extent which not only proves our ability ag’ producers, ‘but whieh will witinately ‘enable us to compete successfully In the markets of the world, Our Governmental expenses are compara- tively smull, Taxatfon has been reduced to the lowest Hmit. We are rapidly paying of, and reduclug the interest upon, our public debt. In faet, our enpacity as producers In every branch of Industry fs inereasing each year in fur greater ratlo than the in- ereuscof our population; and so unlimited are our resources, so great the Intelligence aud enterprise of our people, ‘that, no one pre- tents to foresce when this rato will be dhainished, | ‘The greater tho success of Bismarck’s schemes, the more thoy must reduces the producing power of our European rivals, «As theso schemes are enrricd ont, the Jarger must be the European demand for our sur- nus products. ‘The continued application of DBismarck’s plans wiil certalniy fulfill the prophecy of M. de Girardin, in the Issue of La France, Oct. 15, that. “it wit be neces- sary to be deprived of all pofitleal foresight not to dnierstand tint Ina few years the United States of Amerlea will absolutely hnpose, wider pain of iimposstble-rivalry, In- dustrial ruin, and social revolution, upon the disunited States of Europe tho obligation todisband thelr armies, and to maintain a small force, suficient only to compel theeex- ecution of and respect for the Inws,’” .
