Garfield is a Nationalist. representing: a party which insists that the American people aren Nation; that the United States Navo n distinct nationality as clearly deflned ns ig that of France, Germany, or any other people In tho world; that tho American people are not ntemporary zollvorein or com- Lination of distinct and independent nation- allties, but are a unit, 9 solidified, homo- goneous people, having but one Constitution, ane country, ono fing, ono destiny; a com- plete totniity, an indivisible union, and nt home and to all the world are ono Nation. Tho objects, aims, and purposes of that party are.to protect, preserve, and malntaln that nationality against foreign nseult and domestic underminiug or insurrection, The Demoeratie party, of which Gen. Tnn- cock {s tho standurd-bearer and reptesenta- tive, onthe contrary fs foundod upon the doctrine that onrs Isa mero confederation of Soverelgn States, and not National Union; that oach State is of itsclf a distinct and In- depondent power; that there fs no American Natlonallty; that ench man tsa citizen of a confedernoy by virtue of being primarily cltizon of one of theso Sovereign States, and not ncitizon of covery State ‘because he isa citizen of tho United States of Amorten”; that tho political organization .known as the Government of the United States {sa mero agency ‘of the several supremo States, de- riving its powers from those almighty su- pruino States, and existing by thelr sov- ereign ‘consent ' and at their suffer- anca; that there {s mo- such cn- tity as. the American people of the United States, but each man is of neces alty n cltizen of one of the local subdivisions called “ States’; and:to that “ State” Is duo his primary allogiance and loyal obedience, and through that “State” alono {fs tho athor- {ty of tho General Government binding on him. ‘Tho Natonallty of the Union fs do- ied, disavowed, and repudinted. This radical difference between tho two parties lies at tho very foundation of tho Union, Outof tt grow tho Inte Democratic Rebellion, fifteen Democratic States claiming tho right to assert and exercise thelr Inde- pendence, and to dissolve the confederation which thoy’ claimed existed only by thelr consent; the- rest of the country, on the contrary, asserting and defending the Na- tlonality of the Union, and the subordination of the subdivisions called “States”. to tho superior National authority. On that issue the War was fought, and, despite Its results, the Democratic party to-day assert the doc- trine of State supremacy as broadly and distinctly as they did on the eve of tho Re- bellion in 1860, In tho platforms of tho respective partics of 1880 this distinction in tho, fundamental theory ns to the character of tho Government of the United States Is clearly scot forth, as may .be secon by a comparison of the two declarations. ‘Thus: The Repulliean or Na-|The Demoeratio or Antt- tonal Declaration.

Atwoxlay convention has been held at Springfletd In the namo of tho colored yotars of this State. How many of tho negro voters woro consulted about It, and how largo a pro- portion of that race approve of separate con- sultation on political nffatre, aro matters that’ do not appear in tho record of proceadings. Tho purpose of the Convention, plainly stated, was to urge upon the Republican pare ty tho claims of blacks to office. The Ian- guage of the nddress declares that tho Ito- publican party will not havo accomplished its mission “until it places the negro in this State—in all tho States allke—in a higher aphere of useful and honored citizenship.” ‘This expression must be - regarded ‘as o euphomism fora demdnd on the offices, It rests with the individuals of tho black race, ns woll ns of tha white rnces, to attain “useful and honored eltizonship.” Thot is a distinction which every man may attain In this: country by Ils own acts, and which no party can confer except: upon individual merit. Indeed, all that o party can. bestow upon citizens 1s ofilcin! position either in the organization of the party or in some part of the Government which the party controls. Tho inference seoms to be porfectly warranted, therefore, that a cortain uumbor of negrocs aro dia- pused to demand a certain number of offices from the party which onfranchlsod and emancipated thalr race ns 8 matter of right! In putting forward their claim, tha blacks who- met at Springfleld under the general direction of Mr. Bird, of Cairo, wore misled. in regard to the number of votes which their raco polls in this State, and they ignored en- tirely the distribution thereof, ‘The colored ‘vote was estimated all the way from 28,000 to 90,000! Either figure ludicrously overshoots tho mark, ‘Ihe census of 1870 showed the colored population of this State—men, wom- en, and children—to bo only £8,702; the pres- ent censua will not, In all probability, show more than 36,000 colored porsong in Iltlnols. ‘Tho general rule for estimating a vote by population, where the people are all natives, is to count upon one voter In:every five In- habltants. On this basis HiHnols has about 7,40 colored- voferd;out of the 620,000 votera In ‘tha, Stato,,.or something more than one: por cent of the whole numbor, The colored voters are distributed throughout tho State in such manner that they aro not tho controlling political elemont In any ono county or city, so far as we oro Informed, unless ft bo in Calro. .A lnrger mumbar live in Cook County than in any other -political division of the State. Tho census of 1870 placed the colored’ residents of Cook County nt 3,858; the present census, It is understood, shots about 5,500. The full colored vote in the county may amount to 1,200, but probably not more than that. The white vote is fully 80,000, The colored vote hasalready had a rep- yoseittation on the County Board and jn the State Legislature, and colored men have had positions In the Post-Oftice, Cuatom-Iouse, and varlous departments of the Local Gov- ernment.

It was signud two years ago, and Its provisions were to go into effect tin- mediately, ‘and yot to-day tho relations of ‘Turkoy.to her provinces and to the Powers thomselves are In utter confusion. Sho has not carried out her obligations, and the Pow-' ers have allowed her to dolay and haggle with hardly so much asa protest, and, en- cournged by. thelr indifference and hoping: “that thetr Interests will clash, she has coolly declined to exccute tho decision of the Con- ference with reference to the Greek frontior and the provision of the treaty bearing upon the Montenegrin claims, Sho has paid no attention whatavor to the reforms demanded. of her in Rounelia, Bulgaria, and Asia Mi- nor, but, on tho other hand,.in tho lat- ter province has -inorensed hor rapac- ity ond brutallty until {ts people aro reduced to starvation and its political adininistration {fs in anarchy, ‘Turkey has disregarded her obligations, and the Powors have disregarded theirs. Tho Lon- don Times, at the time Lord Beaconsfield re~ turned from Berlin, pompously announcing that the Congress, under his influences, had obtained peaco with honor, congratulated ‘Itself ond the Engilsh people that at lust the ‘Enstern question had been placed In abey- Anco for at least another gonerntion; but in two little years {¢ again looms up and presses Itself forward upon the Powers for solution, ‘ng grave and as portentous as when Russin marched her armies across tho Pruth on their way to the Danube and the Balkans. It Is, evident that Bismarck at last Is tired of Turkish duplicity and decelt, aud has put on his iron helmet. Having setticd affairs at home to his. satisfaction, he is iow bent upon putting an end to the chronic disturbance of European politics by. ‘Turkish {atorference, Ho has sentn Coni-. mission to Constantinople to examine into affairs without waiting for the other Powers, and by virtue of tho recent ullisnce of Austria and Germany he uses the former as the mouthpiece of his demands.

It will bo hniled with delight by the persecuted and suffering victims of Turkish barbarity, and any action of the Powors that obliterates Turkey as an inde- pendent State in Europe will be welcom by the wholo elyilized world. . ALLEGED OVERPRODUCTION OF FOOD; Tho fucts cited in Tare ‘Trinunx of Wednes- day relative to the movement of wheat back from Chicago to the country show that the crop of 1870 Is pretty woll used up, ‘There Is undoubtedly someold wheat yot in the hands of fariners, in isolated lota, but the greatima- jority of them have swept their bing bare in advance of the current harvest. Tho offor- ing of higher prices for dellvory in this city during last Sfay induced extraordinary activ- ity in shipment, and what then remalned In firat hands was nearly all mussed into the elty olevators, As a consequence, the un- consuinod surplus of last year hna boon “in alght,” and graln-buyors on the other aide of tho Atlantic have been unnecessarily worried ubout the“ lorgo quantities of. old wheat to bo offered from America.” Tho quantity turns ‘out to bo not ncarly so largo ua thoy imagined. : ‘This fact is very Interesting tn Itself, as directly bearlng upon the question of prices, But i¢ ls doubly interesting in the wider economic sense, as tonding to throw Nght upon tho much-vexed problem of overpro- duction. A year ago we wore assured by moat of thoso who undortook to speak or write upon’ the subject that the United States had raised como 450,000,000 tiushels of wheat, and would linve gt’ the “closo ‘of thé cerca} year oyer so many Million bushels loft over, which: out peaplo'could not eat nor find cus- tomiops for, ' Fow lave since had the hardll- hood ta dispute-the aceuracy of the state- ment of prodictlon, and yet,all but about 10,000,000 bushels of it appears to have been got rid ‘of before the new wheat Is‘ ready to, market, “More than a month «must elapse yet before the new spring wheat of the Northweat fs fit to ba ground, and if the winter wheat. were nok marketed. before it lina gono through the Inevitable sweat, our markets would bo bare of that for suine thme longor. We mny aay, then, roughly, that be- fore tho legitlate tine for begluning to usa the now wheat we shall have absolutely none loft. Tho whole of the big crop will have. disappeared into consumption, and with ft soveral million bushels of tho crop of 1878, which waa leftover atthe boglnning of the coreal yenr now closing. ‘Thoro is little room to doubt that the samo remarks will apply to corn a Jittle later in, the year. At tho rate at which It fa now moving out, tho farmera’ hands will bo clear and the cloyators of tho clttes practivally omptied of old corn by the tino the new crop ig rendy to pinco upon the market. Tho magnificent total of 1,540,000,000 bushels, or thereabouts, which was going to swamp tho world, is melting away like snow under a June sun. Tho vast Increase in mantfactur-’ ing uses to which Indian corn Is applied in this country and a much greater European demand for the article have taken the corn and put ft out of sight ag rapldly ag It could bo sont forward. We might bu nblo to write in a similar way with regard to hogs and hog products but for the artificial conditions which have ruled the Iattor market for some time and partially checked consumption, In view of all this tt becomes pertinent to ask, Of how much value are tho opinions of those who are now repeating the predictions of a year ago In regard to‘our curront whent crop? Tho papers of tho Atlantic seaboard are, many of them, loaded down with state- inents of “ how the case stands,” and the ma- forlty seem to agree that our wheat crop fs so blg we will not know what to do with “It. They do not alt say that, inso many words; but the writers ovidently think it, Choy are Dorrowing trouble, They might with advan- tage read the story of the old clock and tha consolation afforded to the pandulum by the assurance that {t had time enough In which to perform the work expected of it. ‘There are not good rensons to think that the food production of this part of the world, or of the world as a whole, has yet reached the point of plethora, There are not good reasons for believing that the production is at present increasing in more rapid ratio than the world’s ability to consume. We must rilso at least twice as much food ns now be- fore every mouth ond stomach will be filled ad nauseam with wholesome bread ‘and meat. In fact, it Is oper to grave doubt if thero can be, in this nage of the workl’s history, any such thing as over- production'of the necessaries of human ox-; istence, They may be produced in so much grenter profusion as to be materially chenp- er thon now; but oven that bicssing to the consumer will take time to bring !t about. Itis tho glut of non-essentinis to a comfort- able existence that Is really to be feared by a community. ‘Tho overproduction of whote- soine food is a thing rther to bo dreamed of than rgalized as on actuality, THE PARTY OF FRAUD. The continuation of the testimony of Mr. John I. Davenport as to the trauda practiced by tho Democrats in New York develops still more gfartling disclosures than those to which oditbriat reference has already beon madoin Tur Tripone, Ills investigntions mado in 1863 show that 70,000 fraudulent naturalization papers were Issued inthat year by Judges Barnard and MeCunn. The out-: rage commenced In Judge Cardozo’s Court in: 1866, but was finally stopped by the honest Clerk of the Court, who, though a Democrat, refused any longer to-bo a party to such an outrageous fraud, Tho mill was then trans- ferred to the courts of McCunnand Barnard, and although ft was-vell known that oven with the utmost dispatch but ten men could be, naturalized in on hour, these two Democrats Judges turned thom out at the rnte of 500 por hour, ; In October of that yonr these two con- spirators, working for the Tammany Ring, naturalized 37,000 men, or purported to do Bo, tho papers, of course, being bogus. Mr. Davenport further testified that these bogus papers wore fssuedas If to persons exempt from declaration of intention on account of thetr age on arrival, and he hinwelf obtained the affidavits of one thousand men between tho ages of-40 and 60 who acknowledged that they had beon naturalized as minors. At Teast 20,000 naturalization papers were Issued in blank, of which no record was ever mado in Court, and for which no. application wos over made. In the Issuing of thoso papers tha Ring mude ne seruple in the mattor of tho witnesses re- quired by the law. They had paid profea- slonal witnesses, Sometimes tho papers were signed with the names of Witnesses who could not write, and often tho numes of such men as Belmont, Hoffman, Lweed, Sweeny, and Vanderbilt appear upon them, signed with a mark!’ The certitlentes were obtained by these professtonal’ witnesses, ten of them having obtained papers for over 8,000 persons, but the applicants noyer saw elther Judge or courtroom, ‘Thora is no question of. those frauds prac- ticed in 1808, and there {s no question that these allens, armed with these bogus papers, have been voting the Democratic ticket ever since, And yot this party which porpetrated these infamous outrages, and which sought to continue them by Interfer- ence with tha operations of the Courts, by at- tempting to stop the supplics of the Govern- ment, and by foroing an extra sesslun of Con- Rress upon the country, is the party that is clamoring for honest. cloctions.
