To those who aro conversant with the trades and dickers that are constantly taking place in New York pol- itics the fact that Folgor had 7,200 votes more than Garfletd dlt—all of them gained in Now York Clty and Brooklyn—Is rather an evidence of au inderstanding with the Dom- ocrats than of the contrary, So much has been sald of Folgow’s running ahend of his teket that « few words of explanation may not be amiss.

About 2,000 men Itave been outof employinent since Jast May. ‘Thoy have exhausted nll thelr re- sources, ‘Thoy drow upon the union” In other eltles for several weeks, jint!l that sup- ply was exhausted. ‘They then used up all thelr savings, and lived as long as they cont upon thelr credit at the stores, bakurid¢s,.atct Brocerles, ‘They would not go back to work at tho market rate of wages until they could no longer borrow money to lve on or obtain credit from the butcher, baker, and grocer, Meanwhite thoy had been nt the expense of buying off workmen who came from other citles and paylog their fare back honte. Other oxpenses naflralty Incldent to a life of ldteness and intemperance have been In- volved in the strike, and It will probably take two years to place Indlyidual workmen upon as good a footing ns thoy were at the tine they undertoolt to bulldoze thalr employers into paying higher wages than could be nf forded, Whether consttered from tho prinelplo in- volved or the practival results, ft Is evident that the workingmen must always bo tho chief sufferers In such a strike against. tho murket rates, and in the enc must sustatn defeat, Asn practical -proposition It Is clear that tho enpitalists, whatever thelr loss may ‘be, are better prepared to endure a auspen- sion of production than are tho laborers, The lutter tive upon thelr weekly wages; tho others have various resources to fall back on. With tho capitalists the question 15 sliuuply one of Joss or gain, It is for them to determing whether they enn better afford to meet the demands of the employés or to close: thar business, In tho Intter case they lose the interest on thelr investment and tho taxes they pay. If thoy find that their losses by continuing busjness at an increased rate of wages excecil the losses froma susputision of business, it follows as a matter of course ‘Unnt they close thelr works, A acasonof'idle- ness will in such enso be less costly to them than n season of work, and they spnro them. selves the natural risks, worry, and anxiety that are Insepnrable from business, If such susperfston threatens to outlast thelr patience or resources they seok to convert their capl- tal into other usos; ordinarily, they. awalt the timo when tho workinen slinll ‘conclude to restume operations, With the laborers tho ense presents 2 very different aspect. ‘the employs plilled tn tronwork, or any spectat trade, hasasa ruleno other means of earulag his living, and he depends upon hia earnings for the support of his famlly, If he has saved a little monoy, It is only a question of a fow weoks or a fow months at most when this surplus shall be exhausted by a life of idleness, Uf he hag Invested ils sayings In a, home or other property, ho must look for- ward 10 u sacrifice thereof by his fallure to nrovide current support.

Prince Bismarck las widtertaken through the mediinn of A Congress of German Agri culturists ” to prove that American compett- tloutn brendstufts and beot products threatens the destruction of German agriculture; and what fs more, lie hassucccoded alarmingly well, Of course the congress was instigated by isimarets, and equally, of course, It re- solves that the remedy Mes In Governmental Interference, for if there is a grievance In Germany that the Government cannot redress tho way Is oponed for u suggestion looking to the reform of the Government flself, and in that reform who knows what would -be- come of William and tho Prince? In the Government of the old régime tho first consideration, of course, is the safety of the State, and the State isn man. In the caso of Germany, Emperor Witla blesses his subjects, Prince Bismarck poverns them, and Von Moltke Jeads thom against tholr onemtes (tho enemies of tho Emperor, tho Prince, and the General) fn battle, It does not seem to have occurred to tho Congress of German Agriculturists that such a Government as they live under costs agreat deal of monoy. But suppose it had occurred to thom, would they Ike tomention tho fact to Prince Bismarck? Probably not. * Kor the first speeltication on thts head would be nsuggestion for the disbandment of tho army—s00,000 strong ona peace footing, and 1,250,000 on a war foutlng, to say nothing of a navy of 2 hundred ships or so aid 500 or G00 guns, And of what use would be the fat old Emperor, and the ertisty Prime Mintster, and the stern old General, without an army and a navy? I6 Is singular that some member of the congress: cof oppressed agrieulturists did notremark that Germany would stand on a hetter footing to compete with the American gratn-growors and eattle-raisers if the tax for the support of the German army and navy were removed. ‘Thoarmy exiinusts lhe re- sonrees of Germany In two ways—by taxation and by the twelvg years’ service I requires {nthe lino and tho landwehr of ity ablo- bodied young men, ‘Lhe soldier ralses nelthor whent nor cattle, and he has to be supported by the producers. ‘Lho'producer’s boys are * grabbed” by.the Government and forced Into tho army, and the producer him- ‘self taxed to support them in idleness, Either the German agriculturists are dull not to lave thonght of all this, or they are so de- voted to Wiillain that they havé not the heart to deprive him of the pleasure of reviewing half a million troops, or they are too thald to spetk up on the subject. ‘hoy como very*near to letting the eat out of tha bag though when they re- mark that, notwithstandlu the Americans ralso searcely half the wheat per acre of tho English yleld, still they have ruined the Ene glish agriculturigt. and are sure to ruin the German agriculturist too, wiless the Hinper- or and the Prince shall come to his help with a mensure of “tax-reform,” which means.o prohibitory duty on American wheat and beef, Thoy deeinre that American cheap wheat and beef help the German con- stuner, but crugh the German producer, and demand that the consnmer shall now bo erushed and the producer helped. Ina word, they demand that wheat anda beof shall be made dear, hot suillelently reflecting that the consumers of brendstufls are producers of otbor thugs, and that these other Hines will necessarily be made dear te an extent re quired to cover the Incrensed cost of prodte: ton, Another effect of Bismarck’s proposed tax: reform measure to save German agriculture from collapse will he tu drive more Germans away from the Fatierlaud, Mgh-priced pra- visions will renot upon all manufacturiag in terests, making high-priced products, snd go Umitlng the market for them, visions are absolutely essential to cheap man- ufactured gouds.

The Liberals will make a desperate éfort to accomplish this, forthe agricultural aborers, once onfranchised, will yote with thom, while the aristocrats aud Iandowners, and perhaps evén tho farmers, will ag bitterly contest ft, and contest of | forml- dable dimensions will ensue In whieh an infirm old man might well shrink from taking the position of Jeader, ‘Nhe svc ond great mensure which must inevitably come up for settloment before tong Is that of tond reform in England and Scotland, ‘The agitation for a land law similarto that passed for treland has commenced, and the tenants of Great Britaln gro already beginning to demand tenure, fidity of rent, tho right to thelr improvements, an interest in tholr tands, and ail the general mensures of rellee which have been granted to their Irish brothren, Coincident with these -reforms, thoy will demand the gbolltion of the laws of primogentture and ental! and‘ the sane free system of diviston and sala of lands that obtsing in France and tho United States. ‘This will meet with aven.n more bitter opposition from the nristoerney than the attempt to cufranchise the rural districts, Mr. Gladstone Ig amem- ber of the aristocracy, and he inust either cut foose from it or head hig party In an as- sault upon some of its dearest rights.
