I have been an observer of public men and events for the last twenty-l ive year?, and my ideas of st i \ tesmausli ip; foriyed by oloie observation of leading charac­ ters in Our national legislat ion, have resulted in this ooncHisioti that the statesman of this day i« the man who takes an aotivo part in al l legislat ive matters in Congrys.*, and the man who succeeds, not only in bavin; laws or bil ls passed, hut in the good results coming therefrom. Rlaine, Edmunds and others have "been there" for the century. To some they loals of s tatesman- much better off are the t of the people, of these United States far their being Kepreseii tat ive* and Senators in Cou- <jre*s? They ;1M not shape or mold the old anti-?Uvery ideas. Older men did that; and when the war of the Rebel* l ion Came, i t is t rue they were 3n t /on- gress and gave a hearty, earnest sup­ port to all war measures; others, \vl io are obscure men now, did the same ti l ing, and if we had no other means to bring peace to a distracted Nation ami people than their statesmanship,-what weuld have been the result ? In Congressional , matters, In a legis­ lat ive and poli t ical history for twenty years, in which he has taken at al l t imes a prominent part , including,his earnest anil determined efforts to keep trai tors in the background, has our man General . lohn A. I .ogat . ever fai lec '? As A s tatesman of to-day, who is there his superior?- ' And in the days of our Na­ t ion's great trouble, when I t required more than the donjihty statesmanship of Edmunds ami eloipience of Blaine to .subdue armed treason, where was our !*ogan then? Not in Oonsrress, voting supplied, men, money, drafts , etc. . but in the Held, where i t required men to save the Nation and make i t a y Presidential FijfnriNS. r i .AIN FACT3L Now that al l the delegates to the Joseph Medil l , editor of the Chi e*g« Republican National 'Joi .veii t i t tn have \ Tribune test if ied before the serial* been chosen, every poli t ical expert is I committee in New York, lafely. npon busily engaged in f iguring out the probabil i t ies of the result . The fr iends of Blaine and Arthur are submerged head and ears In masses of stat ist ics of States, distr icts , candidates and figures and each makes out a result f lat tering to his own side, " the wi«h" being gen­ eral ly " '"ather f<* the thought." We have before us three tables of al l the delegates, s tudiously compiled by the poli t ical s tat ist icians of different ways of thinking. One ot thenl puts Arthur so far in the lead t l iat his nomination by the convention -is an A b s o l u t e ' cer­ tainty ; .another puts Blaine faral iead of Arthur, and indicates t l ie former 's noir ination as a foregone conclusion ; and t l ie thin?, by one who is a fr iend of neither of these candidates, shows very plainly, to his own-satisfaction *t lea»t , that bo' .h Arthur and Blaine wil l lack t l ie , necessary* number of votes and that the dar); horse wil l probably be t l ie winner.

A free trader who i* not afraid to speak his mind is Mr. Henry Clews, t l je New.York banker. In a recent inter­ view on the iubjci ' t he said bluntly that i t would not b« surprising i t a reduction of the tralf l would necessi­ tate a reduction in t l ie wages of work- i i igtnen. He t lK.ught workingmen sl iouli l be equally up to- the point of seeing this , anil that manufacturers should explain the si tuation to their employes. Tbe isame gentlemaij says in substance that free trade will bring free labor rrom Europe, and that we must have as cheap wages as foreign countries or our industr ial Interests wil l sutler . This i t very frank, indeed, but what do workingmen think ol i t , and what do they think of the democratic party, which is now, by i ts representat ives i .n congress, seek­ ing to press this isMie of the free trade and free labor upon the people? A single instance of the results of free trade is shown by facts brought out in the str ike in the jute industry at Dundee, Scotland. ' The wages paid t l ie men engaged in the manufacture of jute in that--ci ty ranged, for 58, ho urs work per week, from §2.52 to $4, 40 to each per«ou for an entire week's service. The manufacturers made a demand on their half-paid employes for a reduct ion of l ive per cent , from ' the above miserable pit tance. Thia demand led to the str ike now ex­ ist ing. the men declaring, they might as well s tarve to death at once- as by degrees. The Dundee manufacturers as­ sert . that they were compelled to make the reduction by the competi t ion thel­ met from India. Tliev point out that wages of jute workers iu Calcutta range only from (ii) cents to 82 1(5 for a week's work ot r>2 hours! Free trade has per­ mitted the prod dot of this pauper labor (which' is cheaper than prison labor iu I l l inois) to enter into competi t ion with that of the Dundee manufacturers aud i t threatens to ruin the lat ter . What do American work- i t igmpn think of wages ranging from Gfl c nts to §2.Hi per week in Calcutta? And yet . if free trade prevails . iu«t such competi t ion wi th the pauper labor, not only of Europe hut also of Asia, insist be expected. Is i t any wonder that the woiking classes are being (ir iven out of the democratic party in a body by i ts sensele.ss Tree Wade theorists and advocates?

The 37 doubtful men have the balance or power, he thinks, and they will use I t foi^the dark horse. A careful and intel l igent scrutiny of these l is ts of delegates wil l , we think, result in the conclusion that that of the dark- liorse maii Is the nearest correct--at al l events, vast ly more correct than that ol the Arthur tnau, whose f igures are ridiculously wild. In this connection, the opinion of United States Marshal A. M. Jones, the Chairman of the I l l inois Republican State Central Committee, who is en­ thusiast ic for Logan, may be worth something. He declare*, af ter a careful examination of the returns of delegates that neither Arthur nor Blaine will* hare 300 votes oil t t ie f irst ballot , and he says that he is wil l ing to r isk his reputat ion for poli t ical judgment on t i ie fol lowing statements: ' •That on "the first ballot Logan would lead Ed- "inutids; (hat . the Republican nominee' "for President wouid be a soldier and "from west of New York; that the Re- "publican nominee for Vice President "be fro.n Jlew York, anil that the "Democratic nominee for President "would be from New York."--ChicuQQ Journal. GRANT ON LOGAN. A New York reporter has been Inter­ viewing (Jen. Grant on the pending Campagin, wish the following result : "Now, General , I would l ike your view* on the pending Presidential , campaign, and the claims of the vari­ ous gentlemen whose names are men­ t ioned in connection with the Repub­ lican t icket .*, General Grant here paused, took a few deep pulls , held his cigar aloft , and aft*u* a moment 's thought replied "Well , I don' t care to say 'much on that subject . If the Republicans make a wise, selection, they will carry the next election. 1 think our prospects better than they were four or eight years ago." "May I ask your opinion ot Presi­ dent Arthur 's Administrat ion?" * "1 prefer not to cri t icize i t ." ' -May 1 ask, then, wjiat your prefer­ ences may be?" - "I decidedly favor Logan. These Is great prejudice against him at the present t ime because of his vote on the-Inflat ion bil l , but i f he nomi­ nated I think l i ia record on the .f inan­ cial question, clear through from tl ie beginning, can be shown entirely sat is­ factory to those Republicans .vho op­ pose him now. l ie is a man of abil i ty and a man of courage- to maln-ta, iu l»le .convictions, and one who Is not swajTV^ about in every passing breeze." tlie relations existing between capital J and labor and kindred social topics. He |1 said in part * folUws, and it only r»* quires a moment's thought to realize lUl ^ truth: | "1 believe that the chief catis* of th# * .J impecunious condition of the wagtfl *•%, ^ classes of this country Is their own prOudness and lack of thrift, To» many people are trying to get along A without work. Those who do toll | squander the greater part of thelrgr- §< wag'!s in drink and tobacco. On »rea)I y? wages a man can still save something. . I The wisest political thinker on social «,t quesrtons the United States has yet | produced once said that *a peii'iy saved ^ is a p"nny earned.' It was to the work- lug class that Dr. Franklin was speak^ iug, and I must say that 1 have nevef seen a workman, no matter what his earnings were. If he spent Ills money for smoke and drink, ever accumulated anything. Thosw who have closely est* amined the subject have stated that working men spend at least 9400,000,* 000 per annum for liquor and 'nearly 9200,000,000 for cigars and tobacco The money thus thrown away during the hut ten' years would have beet* sufficient to piovitle a comfortable Inmt for every family in this counter. Placed at interest this amount would to-day have reached the high figure of $5,000,000,000. Drink. I a 11.rin, is the progenitor of nearly all the ills to vvhi JII the poor men of the United Stales are subjected. No trades uniena or other combination can ever bring relief to them in the absence of tern per* mice and econom}-. High license-.-tlM higher the bettor--will reduce tlie II umber of grogge ilea-and the irtclin«. atiou on the part of the people to visit tli§m. I have very little faith in poli­ tical prohibition or schemes of that sort. <» The evil, next to drink, which d*t stroys the life of wage-workers, is tli« ' <f< existence of wretched tenement houses. It is a sjgyitlcant fact that, in thl» great'eity of New York, the number of deaths exceeded the number of births I by lO.OOt, annually. Premature -deatijSV among the laboring classes of this awT other cities are <li:e partly to tliecrinir- ; nal neglect of public officials, and part­ ly to the greedy avarice of grasping , landlords. The rtMJEIU ~ " i unions t h a t a r e d u c t i o n in the hour* of labor would eventually prove/a remedy for all the ills to which the laboring classes are now subjected. They seeut to overlook tho fact that, were thia plan adopted, the country would soon , be flooded with foreigu artisans, and J wages would, as a natural result, fall so low that it would become almost liu- | possible te earn a living. Education might be nindo to remove some of tho <littilulties. but not with our present - systems. The high sclipols and coilegea do not teach a pupil how to do double the value of his labor. They bring ' hundreds and thousands of our youth to get their living by their wits. Every institution should teach such practical studies as will be of use to \lie stud^ft in after life." - f Everything in farming implements from a Swill Cart to a McCorinlck Twine Binder, can be found at tht warehouse of It.
