REPUBLICAN CHANCES IN INDIANA. The decision of tho Supreme Court of ln- diana, declaring that tho constitutional amendments recently voted on and carried In. thatState were not legully adopted, ts clearly a partisan trick to secure, under tho loose laws and cheating-made-cnsy method, a State election in October, Ono of these amend- ments abolished the October election and postponed the vote for the State ticket and Congressmen to the same day In November on which the Presidential election aceurs, ‘This teft Ohto as the only State holding a preliinjuary election In October, and Gur- field’s nomination assured that lection to the Repubticans, ‘fhe Demoerats have ever since felt the necessity for a possible offset to the Ohto election, and hence this decision. ‘The constitutional amendment whieh has been set aside received an undisputed mae Jorlty of all'tho votes cast upon that question. Hut thero were township suneiay at which a larger vote was cast than the aggregate vote on the ninendments, ‘This has furnished n partisan Bouch with an ex- cuse for nullifying the wil! of the people and playing into the bands of their party. The amendments dhl not recelve a mafority of the votes cast at the township elections, which had nothing in common with tho vote on the muendments, and this timsy pretext is used to restore the October election and eseape the Impediments thrown in the way of colontza- tion and repeating by ono, of those amend ments, But this partisan decision may react, and the result bo very diferent from what was Intended to be effected by it. Indiana is generally reckoned among the “doubtful” States, The control of the State Legislature and the State offices has vacli- Jated of late yexrs between the two contend: ing parties, ‘Che State is close on a full voto, und sticeess for one party or tho other is usu- ally determined by the pecultar condi tions attending each campalgn, All tha cireum- stances this year svem to favor the Itspub- leans, > ‘The nomination by the Republicans of Judge A. G, Porter is a guarantee that tho Republican party will be thoroughly united in the approaching struggle. ‘Lhe Republic- un State Convention was not unlike the re- cent Natloual Convention In some respects, Gen. Streight huld relatively tho same position at Indianapolis which Gen, Grant held at Chicago, Ue had a large following and strong friends, but there was also bitter op- positionto him. He came within sixty-tive votes of receiving thonomination, butstopped at that polnt, Thora were several othor candidates, all willing and some anxious to make the run, but the varlous factions finul- lycombined upon Judge Porter, who was seareely regarded as belng in the race, Who had) =omads no effort = tase cura tho nomlnation, and to whom the result was a gonuine surprise. Like Garfeld on the National tieket, Porter is not a “dark horso” in Indiana in the.usual sig- nificance of that term. He was born In the State, and has beon successfully identified with Its potitles for many years. He was a Promifient member of tho Indianapolis Bar, oncen partner of Judge MeDunnld, and at another thine associated with Gon, Harrison, Ilo was olected to Congress for tio terms, and has been the First Controller of the Treasury during President Hayes’ Adininise tration, He ts untversatly respected by po- Iitien! friends and foes ayn man of ability and unimpeachable integrity. When the Democrats lected Williams Governor four yenrs ago, all the advantages were on thoir side, Mr. Orth lad been forced, to withdraw from the Republican ticket, and Gen, Harrison was substituted at tho lust moment. ‘Ths change brought out consid- erable resentment among the Germans, and on tho whole weakened tho Republicans, ‘There was also n strong disatfoctlon among the Republicans on necount of the resnmp- tion policy. ‘The Greanback voto In the State nmouuted to 18,000, and It 1s entirely within bounds to say that 10,000 of this numbor camo froin the Republicans, ‘Tho Demoerats with Greenback proclivities voted the regular party ticket, for both tho Democratic plat- form and tho Democratic candldate (Bina Jonns Williams) wero entirely satisfactory to them, But Williams reecived only only 5,000 majority, and would have boon defeated by about that number had the Republicans with Cirecnback proclivitics voted thetr own party tleket, as did the Vemoerats who were simi larly inelined, ‘This year tharos no Isauo between the two princlpal parties on fluanee, She Democratic platform professes converslon to the Repub- lean policy of resumption and hard money, Democrats who are still Infected with ‘the Jat delusion can no longer reconcile ‘thelr notions with voting the Domocratia ticket. ‘The Republicans who went astray on this question have generally become convinced by,tho practical operation of resumption that tho policy of thelr party was cor- rect, and they will roturn to act with it, on goneral principles, Hence the Repub- Neans count upon a gain of 10,000 votes over tholr strength of 1876, white: the Democrats inust look forward ta u loss of several thou sand ou the greenback question nlone, This single change will be enough to put success within cosy reach of the Republicans in In- diana, . One of tha constitutional amendmonts that have beon set aside by the Supreme Court would have aided the Repubileans in sup- presslng tho Demoerntle practica of Import- lng voters from Kentueky, Ilnols, and Mich- {gun for tho October election, as it provided that voters, upon challenge, should prove a cortain residence in the State, county, and voting procluct. Stnee the Republicans are to be deprived of this protection, they must Incrense thelr vigilance, They will also gain a large accession of votes from falr-minded Democrats who will take this means of con- demning the debasement of the Supreme Court to mere partisnn purposes, The result may bo that tho decision, on this account, will do the Democrats more harm than good, ‘These various clreumstances afford moro encouragemont to the Republicans of Indiana than thoy have had at any general election. durlng the past elght years, ‘There Is every promise of hearty and effective work, Judge Porter, tu aecupting the nomination, outlined the true plan for the campalgn—viz: fro quent township and sehvot-house meetings, instead of big conventions aud mass-mect ings, ‘There is a business-like and confident alr about the Republican campaign in In- diana this year which {3 almost sure to carry the State for Garilold and Porter, and may bring out o Republicay augority thay will ‘astonish tho country. Af Indiana shall go Republican in Ovtobor, as wall as Ohio, the Democrats of tho coun- try will wish that the Supreme Court had boen Republican, in which case there would have been no partisan decision affecting aweniimnents that were all in! tho ne of po- Itical honesty and hud received the approval ofa imnjority of ult the citizens who cared to vote thorepw, If it shull go Demoratle, yw tage froma success achloved through such questionable methods, THE FOOD PROBLEM IN ENGLAND. We print an editorial from the London Times of dune S commenting upon two artl- cles from the pens of experts recently pul Ushed tn Englant upon the future of wheat prodiiction in that country, ‘The first of these articles was written by Dr. Lyon Piayfatr, nud tho other by Mr, Caird, both eminent as practieat actentifid men, Tho two gentle- jnen wrote at the same time on tho same sub- Ject, but neither aware that tho other was vonsidering the subject, and both reached tho sano conclusion: that, so far as growing wheat to be sold ata profit, that bustness fs practically at ‘an’ end fn England, The ar- ticle In the Times concurs In the optnions ex- pressed by the two English writers, and is of sore than ordinary interest in this country, The fact of a succession of bad crops In Great Britain ts not considered as the solo cause of the salo of Aimerican wheat In Ene gland; that was an Inetlent of the great change In trade that was to take place, Tho shortecrops of England Iustened, of course, the shipment of Amerlean breadstutls, but ft has also familiarized the British con- sumers with cheap bread,—with bread cheaper than {t ean bo produced and soltl for by British furmers,. The promise of better tines to English farmers, with a return of better seasons and fair crops, 1s not accepted by these writers as affording muelt comfort to English wheat-growers, Tho fact will remaln unchanged that American wheat and Amerlean flour will continue to be sold in unlimited quantities in Englund for less than they can be profitably produced there, and consequently renders wheat culture, as nimatter of profit, wholly out of the ques- tion, ‘ho rond from the Amerlean wheat- fields to the British market once being traveled, that it will be traveled continu- ously is beyond all question, no matter what the weathor or the erops in England may happen to be. ‘The Inability of England to produce food suMcicnt for home con- sumption {s not an accident; it has existed fora tong time. The chenper the feod can be furnished the greater will bo the demand and the consumption; so, without reference tothe home supply, there will be o demand for American, breadstuils, and tho price of English wheat must be governed by that of tho supply from America, this rendering the growth of English wheat unprofitable even with a faircrop, Notone-third of the arable Jand adapted to cultivation in tho United States Is yet under the plow; even that devoted to wheat fs pernitted to produce {ts mere thirteen bushels to the acre, when, so soon oy tho ocension may require ft, the yield per aero enn be increased largely. Nur can the British farmer hope that the United States will in tine so Increase their populution as to need the whole wheat prgduction, Dr. Playfair states that when the Amerleans shall number a hundred millions, even that population will make no sertous Impresslon on the stores possible to be produced from the svil of America, Outside, and tn addition tu the ‘United States, isthe Dominion of Canada, with its almost unexplored wheat-flelits In the Valley of Lake Winnipeg, aud so any hope of the British wheat-farmer of any falluro of the American competition is en- rely too remote. Small consolation for tho | Beltish farmer ls afforded by the prospect in which “wherever the eyo lnoks to the west and northwest of tho Amerlean Continent, It beholds a sea of golden wheat ripening for tho food of hungry Englishmen.” The permanency of Amerlea: as the coun- try for producing food for the British Islanis ani for other Stutes in Europe ts alded by tho , constantly recurring progress:in other mat- tera. ‘The wheat-fields of Iilnots, Minneso- ta, Nebraska, Iowa, Dakota, and of the Val- Jey of the Red River are within a few hours’ travel of the Atlantic ports, The cost of transportation no longer. prohitbits the re- moval of gruin across onc-hulf the continent, Wheat put on cars at the Missouri River, In Dakota, {s included within a few hours among tho reeeipts at Chicago, and sold henee wnder transportation con- tract for doilvery ut any port In Europe. ‘Tho cost of ocenn transportation has diminished under the great) demand for it, and under the finproved means for handing grain as well as all othor deseriptions of mer- chandlse, Vessels have reformed their con- struction and beon adapted for tho currings off all manner of freight. Livo beoves, sheep, and hogs are now transported ns safe- ly, expeditiously, and comfortably from the plains of Kunsas -to Europe as human pas- sungors were thirty years ago. With. the de- inand for speedy, safe, and appropriate ocean transportation, self-interest las been prompt Sn furnishing these, Mresh beet is shippod now by the earenss from one to the other continent as readily as it was thirty yours ago from one city in this country to another, ‘The economy of steam-nayigation has also advanced greatly of lute years. Tho im- provement In bollers and engines and all machinery used fr stenm-navigation his: been‘very grent, especially in tho way of economy, Forty tons of cont per day now necomplisies the sume work on on occan stenmor that some years ago required 100 tons, Machinery has now been invented whoreby it 13 expected that even greater re- duetions in the amount of fuel can be made, An ordinary fast passengor stenmer burns 500 tons of coal on 8 voyage, and tho freight steamer 300 tons, If this consumption can bo reducad one-half, ng it is expucted will be dono, the saving In room, in the cost of fuol, and In that of Inbor, will pormlt a ilberal ro- «tuction [nthe cost of ocean transportation, Wheat, however, Is not tho only food product with whieh tho United States must hereafter supply Great Britain and other States of Europe, Our corn has not until within a few years been appreciated ns is vow. dono In Europe, English and Irlah breeders of cattle haye learned that t' Is the cheaper mode to keep their cattle on tho pasture and then fatten them on American cori. That {s the only hope these men hava of compoting with American beeves sent from this country, So with the hog market, OC course the supply of packed bevf, and pork, Jard, and out meats, must go from this country, because upon the supply of choap meat from America millions of people in Huroy must depend for having any meat at all American butter and Amertcan chocso have already taken possession of tha British snurket, and as tue progresses the supply of other provistons from America must go on to mevt a demand foreyer Inerensing, and’ which cannot ba auswered frou any othor quarter of the globe, ‘To this must be soon actded, besides the supply of every descrip. tlon of canned vegetables, a regular trade in apples, pears, peaches, and tho suftaller frults, ‘The menus for transporting theso cheaply and without injury will doubtless bo found, and that very soon, E Tn short, Great Britain abandons the at- tempt to compete with the United States In the matter of supplying the British peoply with breadstuffs, It is conceded that they can buy both bread and meat from America chenper than these articles can be produced at home. ‘This state of thingy Is portons tous of 6 soviat revolution in the British Istands. The value of tand and tho rent of Jand, no longer able to produce the food uoo- eseary to support those who live upon {, must undergo o alsinkage which threatens the gland witha loss of reventte of the most alarming magnitude, ‘Tenants cannot and wilt no longer undertake to pay rent which consumes tho valno of all they can produce. "Tho Tand ean no longer he used with profit to ralso brendstuffs or cattle, ‘Cho rent must bo so reduced that tho Iminense revenue de- rived fram it must bo diminished propor: tonately, ‘Che rental of the and falling, tt must pass from the hands of Inudlords to tenant proprietors, and the Incoming genera tion of farming proprietors must largely take the place as tho ruling pomtation now occu pled by the aristucrney, whose wealth cott- slsts in the Income from rented Innds. 5. es anon FREE TRADE WITH GANADA. J. 1 Perrauit, the editor of the Canadian Emanetpation Review, ty keeplng up his discussion with the ‘Loronte Globe on. the great benefits which would accrue to the Dominion from a commercial union with the United States, and, Int communtention in that paper, which we print elsewhere, nukes a strong statement of these benefits, from an agricultural standpoint, as the most fm- portantof all the advantages which Canada woull derive from such a unton, Ho shows that Canada, tho fimmediate nelghbor of the Now England States, Is in the best possible position to supply them with agricult- ural products st the highest market price, hinving fn her favor tho differ- enes of freight from tha Far West. Unuler the old Reciprocity ‘Treaty all Cana- disn ngricultural and forest: products found arendy market in the Untted States at the highest prices, and no ocean fretghts, insur- anes, or duties were dedtcted from the profits, Atono thine Canada exported 11,- 000,000 bushels of barley nlone tu the Untted States at $1 and $1.60 por bushel, and oats, hay, enttle, and poultry were exported In the same proportion. . Every fariner,” says Mr. Perrault, “knows that with the repeal of tho Reciprocity Treaty we have been prac- tleally oxcluded from our best market. In Jooking over our exportations to ‘the United States In 1879, they amounted to over $31,- 000,000, outof whichan average duty of 25 por cent has been paid, which isa dead loss to our farming community,” Itis incomprehensible that thera Is any one in Canad who ennnot feel the force of Mr. Perrault’s statements, espectally with the results of excessive tariffs all about them In the shape of ruined farms and emigrating farmers, All Canada {s suffering from agri- enltural depression, the surest proof of which fs tobe found in the rapid and con- stant ‘exalts of the farming population to thixcountry, Cattle, horses, sheep, wheat, barley, votutoes, vegetables, everything that grows, Is heavily taxed before It can enter this country, which taxescomeout of profits, Ifthe Canadinn fariners had the run of our markets they woul) get Amertean prices, or an advange equal to the whole duty, Mr. Perrawlt Is right when he snys that their comparatively sinall exportations cannot affect our Iumense agricultural production. ‘Tho amount they can ship here can have no effect upon our markets. ‘The products of fourimiliions of people cannot. be expected to influence the products of fifty millions of people. Under tho ott Reelprocity ‘reaty Canada ald nog Injure us, and we helped her., They had Just ag free a run of our markets as our Western States lave Ine the Eastern States, ‘Tho treaty was materially helping them and thoy were prosperous, but they 're- fused to renew It on torms that would in elude our manufactutes, ‘Thoy tusisted on a one-sided reciprocity. Woe insisted on eom- plete free trade forseverything, But the Canadians replied that thoy would not tax British manufactures aud tet in ours free of duty. We replied, Very well, neither shall we admit your produets free of duty and tax those of England. ‘Their sentimental attach- ment to the “mothor country” was made to outweigh thoir own interests, and what hay been the result? Ever since the termination of that treaty, Canada, as Mr. Perrault says, has boon steadily losing ground, aud a erlsis lings now been reached so dangerous: that thousands of Canadians are fleeing across tho border to save thomselyes from actual rub, at the same time ft is fmportant that Canadians should took at this matter in its propor Iaht, There can be no commercial union with tltls country that fs not based on complete free trade, If thoy are’ to bring all thelr agricultural, forest, and fishery products here, womnust be allowed to send al kIndsof Amorlean manufactures and every othor préilict Into the Dominion free of tax or impediment, and the samo rate of dutles must bo levied on British exports by both countries. Sentimentallty for the “mother country” must be subordinated to business Interests and siinpilelty of arrangements. ‘There must be no exceptions or discrimina- tons. No treaty wilt be made that does nob cover the entiro field, Mr. Porrault ts right in hls stateinenta of tho cnurimons advantages of a commercial union ta Cauats, and demonstrates thon satisfactorily; but he should be aware of tho terms which Amerleans will impose, ono of the most positive of which is that wo must have as complete o run of their mar- Kats ns ono of our States does of the markets of the othor ‘States. Everything that the United States produces must go Inty Can- ada ng frovly and unexceptionally as New England and tho West exchange products, And, again, it would bo well for Gana- dinns to understand that it will hardly bo worth while to “talk business’ until they aro propared to glye up thelr sentimental, and stupid, and, disastrous polfoy ofedupend- Ing on wv ttle tsland 3,000 miles away, In- stuml of upon their neighbor, the great Ree bublic. So long as the Domlnton Tories opposes this commercial union beenuse ft may tead to political union or annexation, no headway can bo made, ‘That ts the Amer- {ean idea. We want a commercial union, and we want a political unfon to follow It In due time, Woe want to draw the Dominion in, and have control forever of both sides of the St. Lawrence and the Inkes, und as far north as tho Polo; not by force, but by free consent, and we can walt for it. Indeod, if Americans thought that a Zollyerein would not Iead to annexation at some future day, the sooner the bettur for Canada, thoy would bo very slow to consent to a commorelal unton, and wo betleve that Canada would not enjoy such aunion with its consequent Prosperity for ten years before she would bo found wanting a political connection with us, The immediate results of such a com- mercial unton to Canada would be larger and freer markets and higher prices, She would get far more fur hor own produettonas, and our products much cheaper than she now tocs, In other words, sho would buy cheaper and sell dearer, We are free to say that we want the six Dominion States that naturally bolong to ue, and will eventually come into the great Republic through the operation of mautfest destiny, We can af- ford to wait for thom, but how much longer van Canada afford to delay the inevitable with ruin and bankruptoy already staring her in tha face? 5 Cexsus-Cosmmasionen Waiaur thinks, from the returns recelved, that the enumera- tlon of Chicago will show 475,000 Inhabitants, ‘The work will be finished this ovening, Al- ready we hear of many complaints of omls slong, In some casos hale a block has been skipped, and in unothor soveral houses on a block, In one case the euumerator called at and asked for the nun ages of the keeper's family, and omitted elgliteen bourders.

OF SEYMOUR’S STRENGTH, Miny Democrats In this State, and perhaps asiuilar proportion In othor sections, have recently worked thomselves up to an exag- gerated estinnte of Seymour's strength as 0 Prestiential candidate, Some of thom go so far as to mulntain thatthe only chance for the Democratic party, since the Republicans havo nominated Garfield, rests upon tho se- lection of Seymour at Cinelnnati, If this theory bo correct, it is certainly a sorry out- Jook for the Democrats, since It is easily shown that the recent estimate of Seymour's ‘personal strength fs a misconception. The notion of Seymour's peculiar avaliabil- ity at this time must be based on the fact that he carried theStateof New York against Grant in 1868. ‘The Demoerats, In referring to this, scem to leave entirely out of consid- eration the clreumstance that New York was carried for Seymour in 1863 by the ald of 80,000 forged naturalization papers. ‘These fraudulent votes eaunot be cast ngain under: the present system of National: supervision, which the Democrats haye male desper- ate but. futile efforts tu ‘repeal or nul- ify, Tho fact is also ignéred by Denio- erats generally, though not. by Seymour himself, that he cannot make the run without encountering the opposition, elther avowed or concealed, of the Tilden faction in New York, which would reiuee bis vole helow that which an outsider would be Atkely to receive, ‘This ts the reason why Mr. Seymour urges that the candidate be se- lected from some other State, But the election of 1863 in New York dem- onstrated Seymour’s porsonal. weakness rathor than his porsonal strength, sluco hoe ran Jargely behind his ticket. All tho. Dem- ovrats were elected by means of the fraudu- lent votes that were east, but Seymour re- ceived nearly 18,000 less of the honest Demo- eratic yotes than were glyen to the State ticket, offman’s inajority for. Governor was 37,940, and the other ‘candidates on the State ticket nd majorities ranglog from 4,377, the lowest, to 27,657, Seymour's mn- Jority was only 10,000, If this be not an evi- deneo of Seymour’s weakness In his own State, then it would bo dificult to namon test. i oe In 1868 Seymour enrifed only two small States In the North outside of Naw York— viz: New Jersey by 2,890 yates and Oregon by 168 votes, Both these States are now Re- publican. Ho was defeated in Connecticut by 3,000, In Pennsylvanian by 20,000, in- Maing by 23,000, In Massachusetts by 77,000, In Now Tumpshire by 7,000, In Rhode Island by 7,000, In Ohio by 41,000, in Indiana by 9,500, tn TIN nols by 51,000, and go on. Seymour would be no stronger to-day in the States named than hoe, was In 1883, white New Jorsey and Oregon would go xguinst hin, and he would have elements of opposition in his own Stato which woro not developed tn 1883, IE Seymour thon ran 18,000 belifad his State licket, the Tilden Domocrats this year would seo to it that he should fall bohind still moro, after crowding thelr favorit off the track.
