WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4. 1801. •I. VAN «LTKB. Editor. TlieSM about -j . -*?y j t be nan! at GBO. AdTtrtillU . MnrtlilBg YORK- •; ISTButter was dull on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday. Sates were 7,290 grands, at 28 conts igtinrt 32 csete last ||e6k and 27 cents one year ago. 'In a recent speech in Ohio, Senator Sherman gave utterance to the fol lowing truism: "Under Republican policy jjpV> :fomrtiihes embarrassed, but never y -, Ranged, our country has become free, f] Without a slave; strong without stand- t v hcarmies or navies; rich with wealth • / \ % better distributed, labor better paid, and , equality of rights better secured than || 1 . einy country if the world." ' 1ST The average "reformer" is having i.ju ' H hard time of it. A year ago he was •ff! ware that the low price of farm products f e f j ^ a s a l l o w i n g t o t h e M c K i n l e y b i l l ^ . Prices are higher and the tariff bill is ^ v * Still unrepealed. Last years' arguments ^5 ,•* ^ Cannot be used, and his ingenuity is f j aeverely taxed in the attempt to devise I*>*•; new ones that will not be too gau«y for belief, even by those who read but little , , and think still lass. MT Postmaster General Wanamaker ^loes not thmk the time has come to rec- Atnmend one cent letter postage. Cer­ tainly it has not. The people do not de­ mand it. They want better and better service as Postmaster General Wana- maker is trying to give them. Congress should be generous in its appropriations for this department. There is no place Where the people get their money's worth 40 quickly or where they appreciate every Improvement made more than in the .postal service. 1^" Before 1860 no plate-glass worth speaking of was made in America, and ' Americans had to pay the Englishman and Frenchman f 2.50 a square foot for it The tariff encouraged Americana to begin its manufacture, and now it is «nly about $1 .00 a ̂ tuare foot for large Store fronts, and 25 to 75 cents a foot flor smaller sizes. And the mem who make plate glass in this country receive dkrable tfce wages of the men in the same fine of work abroad, *:•; iSTSinee Mr. Williams was troubled by pie authorities at Independence, Iowa, the leading turfmen of Aurora have tak­ en advantage of his displeasure and Offered him a bonus to bring Allerton and his entire stable of fast horses to Ipuae county. He has taken the propo­ sition under advisement and it is proba­ ble that he will accept, as he has an­ nounced that he prefers this locality to amy other on account of its proximity to Chicago. If Mr. Williams concludes to he will build a kite shaped track Aurora. from the Bloom- iBfftot Paattgnpk, and believe it to be the--Ua--to!all old soldtan, and hot f&et *mf patriotic citizen: "Ths lata Irish-Republican convention paid to Governor flier a neat and de­ served compliment in the following words; "The State that gave to the nation Grant, the genius of its regular army, and Logan, the foremost of volunteer generals, does itself honor by placing in ns executive chair a private soldier, j os. W. Fifer, whose prudent and able admin­ istration shows that in a true Democracy the simple citisen may be depended upon alike to maintain its integrity in war and to enforce its laws in peace. "Since Mr. Fifer has been governor of this State the Pantagraph has not been fulsome in its praises of his official con­ duct. We know a public man mast make his own reputation. This cannot be done for him by puffing in the columns of a newspaper, any more than a great and deserved reputation can be destroyed by the same means. We are, however, pleased to note that in the three years of lite service Governor Fifer has taken the same exalted place in the confidence of the people of the great State of Illinois that he had formerly held in the estima­ tion of the i>eople ol McLean county, where he had been known from boyhood. This confidence he ka& secured because he deserves it, because by vigilant, dignified and thoroughly honest attention to the business of his office he has served the people who elected him in a manner not surpassed by any one of his predecessors. The time has come when the people may form a judgment independent equally of the criticisms of wounded office seekers, and the extravagant praises of partial and enthusiastic friends. The work of two regular sessions of the Legislature and one Bpecial session has now passed under the eye of Governor Fifer, and while he has respected the legislative wis­ dom within its proper domain, he has not hesitated to defeat by his veto such dishonest jobs as were concocted in fraud of the rights of the people. The people know Gov. Fifer is Incorruptible; they know he is intelligent; they know he rep­ resents them with credit and dignity wherever he goes, and, knowing this, they have reposed in him a confidence which is not overstated in the resolution we quote above. Mr. Fifer was a private in war, but he is a major-general in the high political duties of peace. He won his stars by merit and he wears them modestly and worthily. So may honora­ ble merit ever prosper. OHIO IK LINl!

He says: "I ran against line man who offered about as bur an ex­ ample of the sorehead as I haveever met. % year ago he was discouraged, and he Offered his splendidly improved farm for •ale. Well, he, could not get his price tpnd he held on to the farm. This year his harvest was so abundant that it brought more than he could have had lor the land--improvements, stock and all--a year ago. 'You surely ought to be satisfied now,' I suggested. Tour farm has paid yon out of debt, and a man ought to feel considerable satisfac­ tion in producing such a crop.' 'Yes,' he moaned, (I probably ought to be thank , but just think of the awful strain on the land.' " ^ iWThe old war schooner Detroit, of j • tabs British navy, which was sunk in Lake . fSrie on the 10th of September, 1813, I*; - when Commodore Perry won his famous f Victory, is to be raised by Capt. Michael |̂ i ' ^ Carr, of Buffalo, one of the best known ^ jrilots on the lake and an experienced ff diver and raiser of sunken vessels. This « tbistoric war vessel is to be cleaned up, patched up, and floated around to Chica- ^ go, there to be one of the attractions of r,the World's Fair. The Detroit was built £'f' lor the United States navy, but was soon I K after captured by Barclay, the British |{v- admiral of the Lake Erk squadron, and p/ then was sunk by the American sailors px, i and gunners under Perry. She was pierced for 18 guns and measured 805 S]\sf> tons, and In the great battle she was pitted against the strongest of Perky's •hips--the Lawrence--and went down af­ ter a long and desperate cannonade. * teTThe government of the United States, although the beet, the simplest t'and least expensive of any of the great /^governments in theworld, requires a con- |i:siderabie revenue we derive mainly from a tariff levied upqn foreign imports. Re­ move that tariff and there must still be •an income derived from some source. What shall that source be? Aw increase ;«rf the internal revenue? A direct tax upon the lands and chattels of the peo­ ple? An income tax? A system of li­ censes? All of these plans are possessed ^JBore objectionable features than the at system. Even the average re- who has given any serious it to the subject would not assent . a change, or to any change •xeitpt as to the articles upon whfeh the tariS is to be imposed.

Enough is received, however, to show that the gal lant McKinley is elected by full 20,000 majority, while Fasset is probably de­ feated in New York by 25,000. Iowa is still in doubt, being claimed by both parties, with the chances in favor of Wheeler, the Republican candidate. Chicago elects the full Republican ticket by about 10,000 majority.

Henry Clewe & Co. in their financial re­ view for the week, say: The foreign demand for our wheat con­ tinues upon a very large scale, and the S'eld in the price of that cereal is calcu-ted to stimulated its export. The return of gold from Europe shows no riptom of abatement; and at London loss of gold has so far produced no effect upon the Bank of England rate, nor upon the rat® in the open market, while in the stock market the preference for American securities is causing a steady stream of buying orders to be cabled to New York. This is certainly a better condition of foreign finances *h«m has been anticipated. The uneasiness caused by the new Russian loan and by reports of fresh trouble in the Argentine Republic seem to have the effect of stimu­ lating the London demand for our in­ vestments. So far as respects our local money market, the imports of gold and the moderation of the shipments of cur­ rency to the interior leave no doubt that for the remainder of the year and prob­ ably until early next spring, there will be no difficulty in procuring money for stock exchange purposes. This is from a business circular, issued for business purposes and so may be taken as a fair statement of financial conditions. . It shows a conditions which may well cause congratulations. While much of this prosperity is due to hard­ ships abroad over which it would be mean to exult, yet not being responsible for those hardship, we can surely con­ gratulate ourselves that we are in shape to gain the advantages which such a condition offers. The fiochester Herald reviewing the condition from the same standpoint says: "As a whole our people are prosperous and our finances are in splendid shape. The credit of the government is such that it has been enabled to extend gome of its bonds at two per cent., and all that are due it can pay the moment they are presented. But how are other countries situated? Canada has an enormous debt which she can make no pretense of reducing, but is on the contrary adding to; Mexico averted bankruptcy only by compromise with her foreign creditors. The Argentine Republic is hopelessly in­ volved; Brazil is struggling; Venezuela is going down under a flood of paper money; Peru is in poverty, and Chili has been torn to pieces by a revolution. On the other side of the great ocean Great Britain is still staggering from the causes that brought about the Baring failure and the decline of manufacturing; Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia are drained of their best producers and their money by mighty standing armies and constantly threatened war alarms their people, while the bounties of nature are far less than the most economical de mands, and in all these countries the poorer people are already suffering greatly. The thrift of the French is well known, but that country has an expen­ sive standing army and its crops are also short. In France, Germany, Austria and the little republic of Switzerland the manufacturing industries which have heretofore found a large market in the United States are stagnant and hun­ dreds are out of work." Our country is full of critics and grum­ blers, but a review of the condition of affairs in all countries shows this country as exceptionally favored in trade, in manufacturing, in products of the soil and mines, and in social and stability^ SBSBa=s5=====^ JUST ARRIVE® i Another supply of the celebrated Abbott buggies m any style yon want.
