A presidential year is almost always.one of snspense and uncertainty. Investors andbapital ists become cautious as campaign time draws near, and all branches of business becomes more or less de- pressed. The principle of the referenduin has been practically introduced into American politics; and great eco- nomic. questions, usually in jother countries left to the government .v decide, are very often submittted te the people in advance of decisive ac- tion by congress, not by a resolution of congress, but by the wording of nations party platforms. Hence every congressional and presidential election possesses important issues having to do directly with the finances of the government. Until! this country adopts free trade, or as long as revenue tariffs are laid with any view at all to protection, just so long will the material prosperity of this country be affected by tanifi legislation, The tariff and other ab- struse questions are and by every two years and every four year the battle is bitterly fought along the to represent Jaxvary ninth, Jackson day, will be the date of many important itical gatherings.
