In persuing the daily press of the country we find the astonishing news of about two-hundred business failures per week occuring throughout the United States. In examining market reports we see that grain is down to a lower figure than it was for many years. Besides the country is flooded with people who are out of employ ment with no bright prospects before them, while money is so scarce that it is with extreme difficulty for the av erage business man to make his most necessary payments. What does it all mean and where is it all to end ? are questions which are asked by the more observing class of people. Ex-Senator Wallace in his great spetch in West Yirginia recently gives the causes of this alarming busi ness stagnation in a very truthful way, when he says: "We charge upon the Republican par ty that their policy of large grants of public lands to railroad corporations, and their high taxation of the people to maintain an enormous surplus of money In the Federal Treasury are the leading causes of our present business distress, and especially are they the causes of the glut of production,the glut of labor and the misery and distress ot the min er, the artisan and the agriculturist. We charge, too, that under Republican rule and as a result of Republican poli cy our commerce has been swept from the seas, that our flag is scarcely seen upon the ocean, thai the carrying of our own productions out of our own poits, by which our merchants and sea men could have earned $100,000,000 an nually, has gone to British and German shippers, that our ports of Baltimore and Philadelphia',can scarce give decent support to their pilot force, and that "thousands of tons of American vessels lie idle at the wharves of our great sea ports, while the sea is white with the sails and the sky is dark with the smoke of the great merchant fleets of other nations, which swarm to our shores and transact the great carrying trade that our own vessels do not seem able to take a busy part in." Then policy affecting taxation, their statutes granting public lands and their stolidi ty as to our shipping and commercial interests have shrunken our trade, whilst our inventive genius and the vast tide of immigration have yielded capacity for production in a largeW in creased ratio. The result is business depression and over production, glut and misery. The policy that produces and main tains in the Federal Treasury a surplus of over $400,000,000 is an unnecessary burden and destroys our industries. To it more than all else is attributable the business paralysis of the present hour This money comes from the earnings of the people and if it were back in the channels of trade and the policy that produced it reversed, every artery of commercial, liuaneial, mining and manufacturing life would throb with renewed energy. It would stimulate enterprise and give employment to la bor. A redundant revenue, an over flowing treasury, new vaults required to hold the surplus moneys, continued taxation, thousands of workingmen idle, strikes and lockouts, depression iti business, how storage the contrast,how fatuitous the policy that produces it. Lord Bacon compares money to man ure. If gathered 111 heaps it does no good but becomes offensive. Being spread though ever so thinly oyer the surface of the earth it enriches the whole country." THE Ohio canvass is warming up and judging from some remarks drop ped by Blaine organs the Republicans are not near as certain of victory as they were in other campaigns. The fact is, Blaine will not receive the German vote in that state since lie pledged himself a prohibitionist and there are hardly as many votes "for sale" in Ohio as in Maine. JAMES G. BLAINE'S "aggressive" campaign is all taken up by defenses of his crooked official doings and by explanations of the nasty Mulligan letters. When he is done with that work the campaign will be over and he'll be out in the cold. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22, 1884. The political situation grows more and more interesting, from a Washing ton standpoint, .as the campaign ad vances, and the office holding class of politicians here grow more nervous and pxcitabJe. The new installment of Mulligan letters, or rather "Dear Fish er" letters, have been the leading topic of discussion,and the prevailing opinion is that they close the case for Mr. Blaine. Some of those whose interests tie them to Republican success, and others of the class who stood by Dor seyand Brady, who believe in buying an election and wink at all sorts of offi cial rascality, pretend to see nothing at them. But these do not constitute the majority of the people here, any more than in other parts of the country. Al though we have in politics a great many men who live by it and do not care how i they succeed so their side can keep in, still the great majority of people are honest and appreciate the importance of electing honest men to office. From every quarter intelligence reaches here of the increasing number of Republi cans who are convinced that James G. Blaine is a scoundrel who took adyan tage of his high position to blackmail railroad enterprises and other schemes, whereby he has without a dollar of capi tal or without even being honestly en gaged in any business, accumulated more than a million dollars. These men are quietly deciding to cast their votes against such a candidate, and they are so numerous that he will be overwhelmingly defeated. ous effort is to be made by Elkins and his crowd to buy Ohio as Indiana was bought in 1880, and as Maine was bought a few days ago, but even should this desperate game succeed, it will not come anywhere near saving Blaine. So far as is known here it is still an open question who will succeed poor Folger as Secretary of the Treasury. A good deal of speculation has beeu in dulged in by the politicians and news paper correspondents, but the Presi dent has not yet spoken. It is to lie hoped that Mi\ Arthur will not make it the vehicle for conferring further re wards upon his old New York city ward chums, like .Bliss, Sharp and O'- Brien. Mr. Coon, the Assistant Secre tary, how acting, is such an excellent officer that most people would be very well satisfied to have him continued at the head of the department. Strolling through the various offices of the build ing yesterday, I noticed the usual num ber of visitors—the stream of tourists, bridal couples, etc., that may be seen there every week day in the year. Near ly eyery bridal couple that comes to Washington—Washington is the Na tional biidal Mecca—visits the Treas ury yaults. The young and invariably interesting couple want to closely in spect lJucle Sam's plentiful sheke's. When they enter the vault the man in charge of it, after a few preliminary words of explanation, hands down a package of notes from a shelf and tells the bride to take it in her hands. He then explains that this package con tains $20,000,000 in U. S. Treasury notes. The young lady is delighted to be'able to go away and say that she has held so much money in her two hands. She is just too utterly plqased. The groom also wants to handle the pack- age. They are further told that the notes ore all of the denomination of SIO,OOO. They constitute what is known as the "bridal package." Young mar ried tourists have heard of this package, often ask to handle it just as soon as they enter the vaults. This is all very pretty. Tint it is a fraud on the young people. The Treasury hero does not hold that amount of money. The bulk of the money is in the Sub-Treasury at New York. That "bridal package" is a gay deceiver. It does contain,however, notes of the denomination of SIO,OOO, which would,in the aggregate represent $20,000,000 if they were only signed. But they are worth no more in reality than the paper on which they are print ed, being minus the neccessary signa tures. Although it is three months since Congress adjourned, and throe more be fore it meets again, the city is infested with thieves,sniall and large,vagabonds, courteous and audacious, swindlers, official and otherwise, to say nothing of ten murderers, black and white, who have made way with their victims since February last. Neither Sodom or Chi cago could ever boast of such vileuess as exists in the Capital of the United States to-day, yet the schools are cram med infinitely beyond their capacity, and the white element at least affects the very highest stages of civilization. Crime is indeed so rampant that the Chief of Police in his recent report an nounces the utter incapacity of our police court to attend to the business, although'St.*Louis with a population three times larger,and Chicago with its cosmopolitan populace four times larg er, require but The police force here is inefficient both in numbers and discipline, facts so well known by the thieving gentry that their raids upon the Capital occur at periods as regular ly as the phases of the lunar system. PHONO. A democratic mass meeting was held at Lock Haven on Tuesday night, which was addressed by Gen. \V. 11. 11. Davis, candidate for congressman at-large, Harry A. Hall, of the demo cratic state committee and Chairman Hensel. Ex. Gov. Curtin arrived late in the evening and made a short speech. Violent Shock of Earthquake la Western States. CINCINNATI, Sept. 19. A few minutes before 3 o'clock this afternoon the telegraph operator at the Bee Line depot in Cincinnati received dispatches from the operators all along that road, from Cincinnati to Lafay ette, Ind., inquiring if the earthquake shock had been felt in Cincinnati and stating that it had been preceptible at the offices from which the inquiries were sent. About 3 o'clock, Cincin nati time, the operator perceived a slight tremor in the building. The same thing was noticed in various offi ces in the city, but was not attributed to the earthquake until telegraphic dis patches from the West had come in. It was quite different in sotne of the su burbs in Cincinnati. In Clifton the agitation was violent enough to ring hells on tables and in some instances on doors. The time of the earthquake, as re ported by those who noticed it, varies from half-past 2 to a few minutes after 3, and the duration of the'shock is var iously reported at from ten to twenty seconds. Advices from Indiana report that the shock was felt at Seymour a few min utes before 3, and that it was also felt with great severity in Lawreuceburg, Intl., about the same time. THROUGH OHIO. At Toledo the noise resembled that of a distant blast. Reports from various points in that vicinity show that the shock was quite general throughout Northwestern Ohio and Southwestern Michigan. The duration of the shock was from ten to thirty seconds and the course apparently from southwest to northeast. It was most violent at De fiance, Ohio,where the swaying of build ings created much consternation. The people hastily abandoned their houses and the Methodist Conference, in sess ion at onelof the churches, immediately adjourned'and some of the people rush ed to the street. IN INDIANA. Reports have been received from the following towns in Indiana : At Port land the shock was slight. At lied Key there was a slight shock. Several business men ran into the street to see if their buildings were falling and to as certain the cause. u Great excitement prevailed for a few moments. At Al banyjlarge brick buildings were shaken. Many other places report about the same results, namSly, buildings shaken, glass breaking,furniture moving, dishes and tinware falling from tables and shelves and people running into the streets from fright. IN ONTARIO. WlNDSOß, Ont.,September 19.— Quite a heavy shock of earthquake was ex perienced here at 2.45 p. m. to-day. LONDON, Out., September 19.—A quite perceptable shcck of earthquake was felt in this city about 3.25 this af ternoon. DRESDEN, Out., September 19.— At 11.20 p. in. to-day a distant shock of earthquake or distant explosion was felt here. It seemed to follow the riv er and vary in force, in some instances causing quite a rattling of dishes and tossing of furniture. IN MICHIGAN. DKTUPIT, September 19. —An earth quake shock was felt here at 2.45 o'- clock this afternoon. No damage was done, but the shock frightened many persons. In some localities, particular ly in high buildings, ii was more no ticeable than in others. All along (Iriswold street the shock was felt very distinctly and men rushed into the street, looking about anxiously as if expecting the buildings to fall upon them. The shock lasted from ten to twenty seconds and there was a sway ing motion that rattled windows and shook chandeliers. Unveiling tlio Bronze Statue ofGon John P. Reynolds in Phila delphia. This festive occasion took place last Thursday in front of City Ilall, Phila delphia. The statue was erected by a memorial association at an expense of $25,000, mostly furnished by Joseph E. Temple, and stands on a granite pedes ta* fifteen feet high, paid foi by State appropriation. Including the pedestal the top of the statue is twenty-seven feet above the pavdment. It was un veiled in the presence of several thous and people, with soldiers in uniform, veterans with their flags and bands in gay attire grouped about the statue. As the striking visage of Ex-Govern or Curtin, the president of the associa tion, came into view when he arose to call the meet ing to order, a great cheer went up that showed there was some m the crowd who recognized him and in dentilled him with the stirring times called up by the occasion. "As a great Christian people, under a great govern ment,maintained by strife, here to ren der homage to a great soldier who died that liberty might live," ho called the assemblage to order. In a prayer the Rev. J. ilavvey lleale, who was in Reynold's corps, "thanked God for Plymouth Rock.Yorktown and Gettys burg,and for the deeds and results that made them stepping-stones in the na tion's progressive life.'' With a few words Ex-Governor Cur tin formally turned the statue over to Mayor Smith, who made a little speech in response. Then followed the oration of the day, bv Colonel Roberts.
