THE WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY.
iVoro the X. Y. Time.
Tlio l.n. Mem most dillin.lt. of solution 1y
foreign at tho vloso of our K.v,.t war was
tbo disposition Hint wns to In- liui'lo of 1,.'00,
(too nu n tlu n under nrms. Rrasomii" from
their own im'rcd.-nls, tlio instruments l.y
which success was achieved, in licnif,' tunicd
loose upon society. (hre.Uciied to nontmlio
nil tlio advnntaf!es ruined. In the disbanded
armies they saw a most dangerous element,
to pence and order, and speculated Ion;.; and
earnestly, nndwith conclusions by no means
jlatterin'g to ourselves, ns to the result.
Tho war ended by a jrniul '"""' iinii.
llnrdlvn day interposed between the most
formidable show of resistance, and nono at
nil The insiire'nt forces disajipearca as by
iim'"ic ttir own, disbanded with almost
equal promptness, returned to tho places,
tho industries from which they bad been
drawn. The normal condition of things was
almost instantly restored: and the only evi
dences remaining of the mighty sti-nlo
were tho memories of great achievements,
nnd the vast political and social revolutions it
wrouelit.
We have loin; no converted the distrust ot
the forei"tier to confidence nnd admiration.
The onlAhiii'; that nations respect in each
cither is''"'r'-' History lias no example com
parable with that put forth by ourselves. Yet
this display, which has advanced ns to the
front rank of great States, does ns small
credit, nnd is n feeble illustration of our true
character, compared with our achievements
.since the war. The work of destruction is
nlwavs easy: that of restoration is the dilli
cult one. It is here the. real genius of our
people lies. At no former period have they
uindo such strides us within tho past four
years. At no period have they spread them
selves so rapidly over the continent, re
claiming its vast wastes and planting them
with communitiespossessing every method and
npplianee which science nnd skill have con
trived for the abridgment and utilization
of labor. No sooner was the war ended than
the whole force and capital of the nation were
turned to repair the destruction that had been
made. All wars, domestic ones particularly,
jtt once overshadow nil tho ordinary operal ions
of society. They draw the able-bodied from
labor, nnd put the burden of sustaining them,
ns well ns of supplying them with tho instru
ments of destruction," upon the feeble nnd
weak. Everything is sacrificed to what is
esteemed the' supreme necessity. Production
in n grent measure ceasing, society is forced
to subsist upon the accumulations of the past;
and if the war lie of long continuance, fabu
lous prices, cither from a real or apprehended
necessity, come to be demanded for all the
necessities of life.
Such was our condition nt the close of the
Rebellion. Consumption had far outrun pro
duction; nnd as the surplus produced for any
one year exceeds, by an insignificant fraction
only, the nmmnl expenditure or consumption,
years of tho most unremitting toil were re
quired to restore tho waste that had been suf
fered. It was not till the harvest of ImIS that
production fairly overtook consumption, nnd
the great reservoirs from which the nation
draws its supplies of food tilled to overllowing.
Prices for the first time since the war began
to show a marked and permanent decline,
which bids fair to continue till they roach
quotations which prevailed for long nnd pros
perous periods previous to it.
Tho rapid distribution of our surplus popu
lation over agricultural districts for tho past
live years, nnd the consequent, cheapening of
all articles of food, is one of the most inte
resting subjects that can attract attention. In
such districts labor is always well employed.
In crowded communities a very considerable
proportion of tho whole population is always
unemployed. To give tho opportunity to
labor, therefore, is to create labor. England
is all the richer for tho countless millions she
has sent forth to other lands. Useless till
they emigrated, they are the great consumers
of the products of those they left behind. In
social economy the great problems are distri
bution nnd consumption (of manufactured
articles), not production, which far outruns
the capacity to consume.
Within the past four years tho population
of tho nine Northwestern States, from which
we draw our supplies of food, has increased
at tho rate of r.oii,(H)( annually. To show the
rate of tho increase from lsilf to lMis, wo
have prepared a tabular statement of tho
number of votes enst in each State at tho
Presidential elections in three years, and
have estimated tho population to bo fivefold
greater than such vote. One to live may be
regarded as the average ratio of votes to
population in the agricultural States in gene
ral and excited elections:

The increased vote, in tho period of four
years, was 4;!s,,"i'.)();Jtho increase of population,
:,L".:.',!'.-.(. In 18118 there were nearly half a
million of able-bodied men at work in those
States more than in 18(11. Their productive
capacity, from the increased facilities for
transportation, in more skilfully directed
labor, and in tho more extensive use of labor
saving implements, has probably increased in
twofold ratio to that of their numbers.
There are still more striking illustrations of
the rapid progress of tho new States in mate
rial prosperity nnd wealth. There were
opened within those named, within tho past
four years, fidOO miles of railroads. These
roads transport annually L'(M)t) tons of freight
to each mile of line, or 10,000,000 tons in the
aggregate. Tho greater portion of this ton
nage consists of the products of tho soil food
and is a most satisfactory evidence of tho
vastly augmented supply. Tho increase of
tonnage of tho roads in operation in these
States previous to 1801 will equal tho total of
the new linos. Tho aggregate increase of
all since 1801 cannot be less than 1.1, 000, 000
tons, bavins' anat's'rei'nto value of L',000,000,
It is usually estimated that a farmer living
within fifteen miles of a lino of railroad can
avail himself of it in sending his crops to mar
ket. Every 1000 milos of lino constructed,
consequently, opens up liO.OOO suunro miles
of new territory nn area equal to a good
sized State. Hut during tho present yenr fully
0000. mi'cs 01 new lino will lie const ructotl,
opening up .riO,(HM) Biiuaro milos. tho creator
portion of which was Inst year wholly beyond
the reach ot commerce anil of markets. Tho
B'lditiou to tho wealth of the country which
is Uuo to sucti an increase 0f the means of
transportation can hurdly be estimated. In
tlie WCttutiuie, tho iucreafio of our population,
which follows fast in the train of tho now I
works, is nt. thn rate of 1,1; .10, 000, all of whom '
become efficient co-operators in a common
ennsp.
Such nu increase of population nnd wealth
secures to us advantages possessed by no
other nation. If trade or mnuufneturos bo
overdone or slack, the passngo of n single
venr brings l,L'V,nii() additional, consumers.
With a slight pauso in our industries con
sumption overtakes production. Each day
Kino ndditioind persons shar.! in tho burdens
of taxation. N hat is tolerable to-day becomes
less onerous to-morrow, nnd with tho cer
tainty of their steady reduction nnd of a full
release from them at no distant day.
PUZZLED PROVINCIALS.
I'rum the X. Y. World.
Provincial papers and by provincial papers
we mean papers published in Philadelphia.
Chicago, Hartford, Sangcriies, Podunk, nnd
other small places which content themselves
with, nnd confine themselves to, tho daily or
weekly chronicling of local occurrences, varied
with nn occasional 'sensation, ' such as that
Deacon lewbrrry has ''laid'' an extraordina
rily large egg on the editor's table, utterly
fi.il to comprehend how a great metropolitan
journal like the M '( can record every
day not only all the doings worth noting
in New York, full lay before its renders
everything of importance from all quarters
of the globe. Still accustomed to pretty
much tLe snnio method of news-gathering
that obtained twenty years ago, these country
join nals cannot conceive how the II'"', by
means of steam, the telegraph, special cor
respondents, and wide-nwako reporters, man
ages every twenty-four hours to collect, sift,
nnd present all the news in tin; world worth
knowing from day to day. 'What used to be
considered extraordinary enterprise is now
merely necessary routine. The readers of the
Wei!'' demand the whole world's news every
morning, and the supply is always equal to
the demand.
Put this mere doing of the day's duty ab
solutely dazes some1 of the provincial editors.
Hero conies the Hartford 7W, for instance,
with nn editorial showing that the writer is
utterly dumbfounded by iho amount of news
and matter presented in a single issue of the
World. Spreading tlio sheet before him, ho
finds it, indeed,
" a map of imsv life,
Its lliictuations aii'l its vast concerns"
nnd, recovering from his first bewilderment,
lie attempts to epitomize the contents. Ho
discovers in one day's doings, as recorded by
tho W"iid, that '"the Senate is a nuisance and
deserves to bo abolished:" that there is a dif
ference, worth noting, between the stroke of
the Harvard nnd Yale oarsmen: that the move
ments of ( 1 rant and Sherman at Long .1! ranch
are minutely reported: what is going on in
the Ohio campaign: "then to England and
Prance, only to come bounding back on to
the Pacific coast;" how soda water is made,
supplied, and sold in Now York: ''it snatches
up the English grammar and revises it, show
ing us how to make new words;" it "reforms
fashions:" it '"rattles plastering' down on the
head of Fisk, junior:" and it does all these
things, nnd many more, with the samo vigor
with which, "a low months ago, it entered
the tea chests and sugar barrels of every
groceryman, and tho fusel-oil bottles of every
barkeeper.'' This maze nnd multiplicity of
nintter in a simple issue prompts the Hart
ford 1'n.st to exclaim that "'the most myste
rious nnd wonderful newspaper extant is tho
New York World."
In tho same mail with the Hartford Fust,
comes another puzzled, almost petrified, pro
vincial the Houston (Texas; Tlun which
is also overwhelmed nt the greatness, good
ness, energy, and enterprise of the World.
Extremes meet, and the near-by East and the
remote Southwest seem to have come simul
taneously to tlio conclusion that tho World is
not only .the leading paper in New York, but.
as the Hartford iW phrases it, the '"most
wonderful newspaper extant. Put if tho
Hartford editor was dazed, tho Houston jou
ni'list is almost swamped in surf and breakers
of surprise, nnd when ho catches breath he talks
111 this wise:
"The Wi.rhi is oar favorite. It is tlio orjjan of tlio
ivc, progressive U.-mocracy of tlie I'nited Slates, in
conlriKlistuiction to the ilelunct Democracy. Tlio
11 ('( .s history is a short 0110. but it lias an immense
one before it. It is about eijrlit years old. but in that
time it has trrown into a powerful position. It is
jroiiiR to become the most miiiiential orphan in the
1 lined states; that is to snv, in the world. It is the
ablest, sauciest, smartest, wisest paper in the United
.i.kcm. Tin: iiiost splendid edllorlal-writUKr ill
America is to be found in its columns. Tho H'uWif
is very oiien Kicking uiramst party traces, and sus
C' Stinsr something new and startlinjr. Thus it often
brings down upon itself storms of attack from other
ornans of the party ; but who can say, after all, that
the ld has ever proposed anvthinjr which it would
not have proved best to do V We have watched its
course closely, and this (iiestion forces Itself upon
us strongly. The IfwW is very ambitions, and it
MiowH now to achieve its ambition. It will

Alms do two papers at two extremities nf
the country unito in declaring the superiority
of tho 0H1l over nil other metropolitan
journals, nnd this verdict may bo taken ns the
opinion 01 mo entire sensible "betwoenitv

C . UulVf T' ''V4 reiuct tha disfranchising
allegiance to tho Union with their popula
tes not disgraced by political death or
inferiority What has happened since was
the natural consequence of this now policy
It was favored by a large number of re
publicans everywhere, and m the three Stutef
which were yel to be reeonst met oil candi
dates for tho Governorship were to bo nomi
nated by both wings of the Itepublieau parly
who represented both sides of tlie question at
issue between republicans. Put whilst tho
incstion among the liopuhlieuns more nnd
more assumed the character of n mere family
ninrrel, tho citizens of Virginia took the thing
up in good earnest., and, using tho opportu
nity so generously olVered to them, free 1
themselves of tin ir oppressors together with
the proposed oppressive rest net ions, ibis is
tho simple history of the "attempts to divi hi
the radical parly." It was evidi ie'.y inlcnde 1
by the President himself, nnd he and some of
bis most devoted friends biix:l Iho whole
lory of bis admiuisf ration upon this split
nnd upon the subsequent establishment and
predominance of n conservative republican
party. W hen he was nearer to success th in
ho probably knew himsell. some radical parti
san bullies in his own Cabinet fris'htene.l
lim, nnd now he disowns what he him
self oritrinallv inaugurated. There is
not the least doubt that tho watchword of
'General Grant's conciliatory policy" was
;iven to all the munagors nnd fabricators of
the radical public opinion. Not onlv did we
liscover the signs of this in the whole radical
press of the I moil, but tlie same conciliatory
views were nlso communicated bv reirtilar radi-
al correspondents to foreign newspapers. We
w ill translate an extract from a letter written
to tho ( '''''.I Hi', of Cologne, by its regular cor
respondent, which bears on its face the in
junction of preparing the way in Germany,
which so far was only accessible to ultra radi
cal views on American politics, for the new
conservative policy of (he present administra
tion. Tho radical letter-writer says:
The election in Virginia Is over, and It has re
sulted in hir;;c iimjorit ics for the so-called conserva
tives. ( ( '. ii'.kcr. a merchant, horn in the Si at
f New York, was elected bv foriv thousand ma
jority niniihsl Wells, the candidate of (lie radio. (Is,
and the consei'viil lves will have n majority of from
forty to lift.v in the Assembly, and the (.'(institution.
exclusive of the disfrancliisiiuf clauses, was ad iptod
by ;i majority of upwards of f;o,ooo. This is nu Im
mense and important triumph of the conciliatory
policy ol the present administration.''
ud then tho correspondent goes on de
nouncing the carpet-baggers as a baud of ad
venturers nnd reckless office hunters: con-
ratulatitig Virginia upon being delivered
from them and predicting the return of the
Old Dominion to its former glory and rank
among tho States of the I'nion.
Every word of this panegyric of the present
administration, nnd tho effect of its policy in
Virginia undeniably true as it was for n short
while, still very creditable to the President
nlso is now disowned bv him: nnd what was
called n triumph of his conciliatory policy is
now treated ns nn attempt to split tho repub
lican party, and as an attempt which its ori
ginator himself denounces and deprecates.
It required tullv eighteen years to show tho
impossibility of establishing n so-called just
medium between right nnd wrong in France.
The common sense of General Lafayette, ns
early ns ls.'io, discovered that "between two
times two are four nnd two times two are
five'' there could be no just medium, but that
everything between tho two must constantly
be w rong. France had either to be ruled
despotically, or in accordance with a liberal
constitution; nnd. whilst he was for liberty,
Louis Philippo expected to rule tho French
with a whip in his hand nnd the Jacobin bon
net on his head. It is exactly the same thin'
in regard to a conciliatory policy here. If it
is really intended to reconcile, the administra
tion must do right throughout, nnd not talk
conciliation and act disfranchisement, and
thereby please nobody. A reconciliation, by
which it meant that Southern men should
elect Northern carpet-baggers, or send to the
I nitod States Senate politicians who would
trample the rights of those who elected them
in the dust, is no reconciliation nt all. It is a
phantom created in tho imagination of per
haps a well-meaning man, but evidently not of
a man ot clear understanding.
11EVIVAL OF COPPEPJIEADISil.
VY'iu the St. Ltiiii.s Democrat (Republican).
The nomination of Pendleton by the Demo
cratic State Committee of Ohio was n shrewd
strategic operation. Not so much because Mr.
Pendleton is their strongest candidate, though
that may lie true, but because by any other
course tho committee would have been forced
to called together a convention composed
argely of men hostile to Pendleton, and de
termined to daiimgo his chances for future
preferment. The fact is, these Ohio Demo
crats still imagine that their party is alive,
and that the main question is, who shall bo
run for President in 17:.'. W lth a thim-
blefull of brains they would see that the first
thing to lie done must be to create such a party
and give it such strength that a nomination
in lis, -J may possibly bo worth some
thing. The old Democracy on its present
obsolete platform cannot nominate anybody
with reasonable hope of success. Its only
chance is to get rid of tho men and the ideas
which have so long crushed it into tho dust,
liather more conspicuously than most Demo
cratic politicians, Mr. Pendleton represents
day before yesterday the very ideas and
methods which have mado Democracy odious
and powerless. The nomination of such a
man, on u new and progrsssivo platform,
would have been ridiculous, certainly, and it
would have severely taxed tho credulity of
men to believe in tho sincerity of such a con
version. Put still it would have been
some improvement. With some littlo
excuse, the party might have claimed
that it had abandoned dead issues, and
addressed itself to the living questions
of tho future. Put the nomination of Pen
dleton on a regular, old-style, Copperhead,
anti-negro, anti-bonds platform, such as the
convention litted up to balance the nomina
tion of Poseerans, nnd make it more palata
ble to Copperhead tastes, is as complete a de
feat of tho progressive elements iu the party
as can bo imagined. Under liosecraus, thty
could have claimed thnt the platform meant
nothing, and pointed for the true interpreta
tion of the purpose of tho party to the Gene
ral's brass buttons and shoulder-straps. Put
with a Copperhead platform and a Copper
head candidate, there is no room for decep
tion. It is the old party, not even disguised
in a clenu shirt.
We are told that tho anti-Pendleton men
were in a majority in tho convention; that
they had a compact with those Now York
j schemers who snuffed out "Gentleman
George" at the national convention, anil
that tho plan was to kill off Pendleton in
Ohio, so that he should never come up again
as Presidential candidate, by moving the
party forward to liosecraus. Tho very nomi
nation of such a man, the schemers reasoned,
would be so emphatic a repudiation of Cop
perhendism that Pendleton Mould bo perma
nently extinguished. Prick Pomeroy and
sundry others of tho "red hot" variety so re
garded it, and denounced the nomination as a
betrayal of tho party.
When Ilosecrnns came to their relief by de
cliningand it would take very littlo to make
us believe that tho Pendleton clique worked
tooth nnd nail to force him to doclino the
State Committee had the power in its hands.
It could either Belect a candidate, or recall
tho convention.. Dut tho convention was
hostile to Pendleton. The committee wns 1
controlled by bis friends. Hence, tho c m-
inittee proceeded to nominate him, and be, I
realizing how great a mistake he had made in
sniveling the convention to put some oilier I
man over his head ns the choice of th Ohio !
Democrats, accepted. Very likely ll will lie i

To permit it to prevail now, villi the old (

wrong. Put by giving tho Democrats another ,
