WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1809. rENDLETOira SPEECH AT CLIFTON. Tax repudiationists of the United States have keen bo terribly defeated in their efforts to Imbue the American people with the spirit of dishonesty, that their loaders are deeply im pressed with the necessity of concealing or disguising their ultra views. A remarkable instance of this feeling is afforded by the late speech of George II. Pendleton, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, at Clifton. lie is the ostensible head of the repudiation ring of tho Democratic party. Ilia supporters at the Tammany Convention, in 18G8, gloried in calling him "young green backs," and in urging his claims to Presiden tial honors on the ground that he would wipe away the debt by an unlimited issue of legal tenders. He was zealously eulogized by iSriek Pomeroy in the same columns which ieenied with denunciations of bondholders and avowals of a determination to make the )i itional bonds as worthless as autumn leaves. . ven now his leading Ohio organ, the Cin- innati Enquirer, openly advocates repudia tion, if the Pendleton plan of paying the debt does not prevail. And yet gentleman George, in addressing a party of his friends at his own residence, in a speech which was evidently intended as a campaign document, carefully abstains from giving prominence to the theories with which he is so thoroughly identified. While he bids his irresponsible journals to win votes from those who are lost to all sense of honor by vain promises of re lief from the burdens of taxation, he ad dresses himself to the more difficult task of making a favorable impression upon the re presentatives gf the business interests of the country. It is astonishing how deeply he sympathizes with them; how sorry he is that the bonds are not made to bear their propor tionate share of taxation; how much he is grieved by contraction and commercial failures; how deeply he regrets the decline in prices which men of all parties have leen praying for, and how jesuitically he suggests the sham remedy which he is afraid and ashamed to prescribe to a business audience. With all his fine-spun theories Mr. Pendleton forgets that the only way to pay a debt is to pay it. It is much easier to discharge an old obligation by giving a new one than by planking down the hard cash; and the sum and substance of the philosophy of the Ohio statesman is founded on this profound observation. But a succession of promises to pay redeemable with nothing more substantial than new promises, is but another name for repudiation. And when Mr. Pendleton promises this remedy, even in a disguised shape, to a business audience, they well ask whether the nation can afford it? Grievous as the burdens of the debt may be, the loss entailed by the total destruction of confidence, the annihilation of public and private credit, and the downfall of the existing financial Bystem, would be ten times more grievous. All past panics in the United States would be periods of prosperity com pared with the terrific crash which Pendleton invites. The candidate whose place on tho Democratic ticket he assumed, Gen. Rose crans, justly declared that the true way to diminish the burdens of the debt; was to im prove the national credit. The agitations of the repudiators have already cost the nation many millions of dollars of additional interest, and if their candidates are not defeated many millions more will be necessarily added to the burdens of taxation. Financiers of the Pendle ton school are, in fact, only one degree less expensive and injurious to the national inte rests than the secessionists with whom they sympathized during the war. They are the chief obstacles to a negotiation of new loans bear ing one-third less interest than those now in existence, and requiring one -third less tax a tion to defray their annual burden. And while their mere clamors work this mischief, the official establishment of their theories would be scarcely less mischievous than the success of the Rebellion. The loss suffered by the bondholders would form but a tithe of the misery and suffering they would inflict upon all the toilers of the land by the pro tracted derangement of every form of busi ness, the cessation of many important pur suits, the enforced idleness of millions of workmen, and the pressure of want and star. vation upon myriads of helpless families. TIIE CAUSES OF THE A VONDALE TRAGEDY. Mint rumors have been circulated in regard to the cause of the late tragedy at the Avon dale mine. An active effort was made at one time to create the impression that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and that some infuriated and desperate miner, who was op posed to an infringement of "the basis," sought terrible revenge by destroying the lives of the Avondale workmen. Then the theory was started that fire was accidentally communicated to a bundle of hay at the bot torn of the mine by a spark from the pipe of a careless miner. But the Coroner's jury, after hearing all the evidence, have censured the mining and railroad com pany for its defective and dangerous arrange meats; nd we W at "tue verJit ii generally considered ad adverse to the corpo ration, and is hailed as the opening of a new era in the operation of mines." -It is a dis grace to our civilization and the authorities of ..the State that precautions for the protec tion of the miners have not heretofore been adopted. With the best care occasional ac cents are unavoidable, and it is to the last degree cruel and murderous to wantonly in tensify the perils of the miners. The obli gation to provide proper means of ventila tion, etc., rests principally with the mine owners, but experience having fully dewn strated their disposition to shamefully neglect this duty, the people of the State, through their Government, should long since have guarded against wholesale-butchery in the mining regions. THE ST. THOMAS SWINDLE. Tme New York Timet, which still hangs on to the ghost of Seward's former self, and therefore deems it necessary to come to his defense on all possible occasions, argues that "it would be a pity" to have the treaty for the purchase of the submarine volcano of St. Thomas fail, "without a debate and a solemn enunciation of the trie limits of Executive power in its negotiations with foreign States, that the latter may know just what importance to attach to any engagement of our Executive, so long as it lacks the Senatorial approval." This is a special pica of the most puerile sort. The Constitution of the United States, Art. II, section II, clause 2, says: "He (the Presi dent) shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur." If the Senate were to devote an en tire year to debating the question, and were then to enunciate, in the most elaborate style, "the true limits of Executive power, in its negotiations with foreign States," it could do nothing more than proclaim the fact that no treaty negotiated ly the Executive is bind ing and valid until it has recoived the assent of two-thirds of the members of the Senate present when the final vote is taken, and that the Executive has under the Constitution no power or authority to pledge the ratification of the Senate. The Times says that "the policy of our Government upon the subject ought to be defined, both for our own sakes and to prevent any future misunderstandings with foreign sovereigns." But the policy of our Govern ment is defined, and that clearly, by the clause from the Constitution quoted above; and ever since the present form of govern ment has been in existence, its practice has coincided with the policy laid down in the clause in question. When Minister Bancroft negotiated his great treaty with the North German Union which settles the vexed alle giance question, it was formally ratified by the Senate, and nobody at home or abroad regarded tho ceremony of ratification as superfluous. And when Minister Johnson, in tho full tide of his after-dinner revelries, stipulated that the American people should make an out-and-out surrender to Great Bri tain on the Alabama claims question, the Senate repudiated his action, and no one, either in the United States or Great Britain, dreamed of regarding this repudiation as a casus belli. It was not until Mr. Seward, elated by the acquisition of the Alaska ice- ! bergs, turned his covetous eyes upon St. Thomas, and agreed to take it off the hands of King Christian for $10,000,000, that it was suddenly discovered that the power to negotiate a treaty with a foreign State was reposed exclusively is the President and ls Secretary of State. By the express terms of the Danish treaty, if ratifications were not exchanged on or be fore February 24, 1808, its provisions were to become void. Why was this ridiculous clause inserted in the treaty, if there were any doubts about "the true limits of Executive power in its negotiations with foreign States?" And why, the limit having passed without any affirmative action on the part of the Senate, did Mr. Seward unite with tho Danish Minis ter to extend the time for ratification to October 15, 18(K ? The Danish authorities clearly understood at the time the treaty was negotiated, and they understand full well at present, that without the ratification of the Senate the cpntract for the purchase of St. Thomas is null and void, and that the Senate is under po obligations whatever to ratify the treaty -if two-thirds of its members do not believe that the best interests of the United States demand Btich action. If Denmark chooses to tender St. Thomas to us as a free gift, we may possibly accept it; but in our present financial straits we have more press ing uses for the $10,000,000. The true secret of this incessant agitation of the St. Thomas question Hob undoubtedly in the fact tint, if the treaty fails, as it has failed and is bound to fail with every possible extension, some body other than the King of Denmark will lose an opportunity to pocket a good round share of the purchase money. Oun Democratic morning contemporary grows jubilant over Maine, despite the utter cleaning out which the Democracy sustained in that State on Monday. "Last year," it exclaims, "Grant's majority was over 28,000; this year the radical majority is less than 8000." But last year the total vote was 112,000, while this year it was only 88,000 and as the organs of the Democracy have persisted all along that the temperance candi date could not count on a single Democratic vote, the true Republican majority is 18,000. In 1807 the Republican majority fell to 11,014, but the fall did not prevent a rise to 28,000 in the following year. On the same basis, the Republiean majority next year will reach 45,000, which will be quite sufficient for all practical purposes. The discontent of the Canadians with their present government, and their desire for annexation, daily and hourly increase; aud some of the English statesmen seem to be anxious to sever the pns-nt connection with their troublesome colouists. As the British possessions in North America contain about as many square miles as our own, we could afford to settle the Alabama claims in con sideration of a transfer of a tract which would double our territorial area, despite the worthlessnoss of a larare nortion of if r,,i it I the adjustment of the controversy is post poned a lew years, this will be the most natural termination. SHIRKING THE RESPONSIBILITY. Ocn Democratic morning contemporary con tinues as dumb as the traditional oyster on the subject of Mr. Fry's desertion of the com pany of such men as Johnny Ahern and Jimmy Stewart. One of the press hands, however, has beon employed to write a squib, which appears over the signature of "A Work ing Democrat," in the 'Tublio Opinion" column. The press hand, reflecting the sen timents of the editors, "was extremely sorry" to discover that Mr. Fry was ashamed of the company he had been keeping, and, more over, had "little inclination, under existing circumstances, to enter into the canvass as vigorously as its importance demanded." The press hand, like the editors, relied upon Mr. Fry's name as upon "a tower of strength," and thinks that "his personal popularity and high standing in the community ought to have been sufficient to hare carried the weaker por tion of the tick et through" Hence these tears. However strong the faith of the exemplary press hand, Mr. Fry doubted his ability to "carry the weaker portion of the ticket through," and was unwilling to risk "his per sonal popularity and high standing in the community" by making the attempt. "Whisky," laments the New York World, "is advancing." The World is grieved thereat, for cheap whisky is one of the indis-. pensable requisites to Democratic success at the polls, and the raising of the price of the liquid just on the eve of the October elections is a precursor of forthcoming "defeat. "Iu old Democratic times," continues the lamen tation of the World, "whisky was often sold as low as fourteen cents, and rarely exceeded twenty-two cents per gallon." The difference between 22 cents and ijifyo is quite per ceptible to Democratic executive committees and Democratic aspirants for office. It is quite natural, therefore, that the World should wax indignant at the rumor of a pro position to kill off the entire Democratic party by cutting down the income tax to one half its present rate, and doubling the bur den on whisky. The Commercial Convention which is o be held in Louisville, Kentucky, on the 12th of October, promises to be an event of unusual importance, and if these exjiectations are ful filled, its results can not but prove beneficial to the ccmntry at large. It is understood that the subject of selecting delegates to represent this city will be brought before Councils at their meeting to-morrow. It is to be hoped that the very best and most influential men who can be persuaded to represent Philadel phia will be chosen, whether the delegation is selected by our municipal authorities, in ac cordance with the request of the Memphis Convention, or by our commercial associa tions, as would appear to be the most appro priate course. The Avondale Si-tfereps have received a donation of $20,000 from the Delaware, Lacka wanna, and Western Railroad Company, to whom belongs the mine in which the terrible calamity occurred. If the company had de voted the same a&iount to the sinking of an extra shaft, there would, in all human proba bility, have been no sufferers to relieve. It is said that the threat of General Sickles to recognize the Cuban insurgents as belli gerents has terrified the Spaniards amazingly, and caused the funds to fall to the lowest point touched for the past sixteen years. Be fore Spain succeeds in crushing out the insur rection, the funds are likely to go still lower. COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY OF FRAXCE. Thekb are peculiar social causes leavening French society which corrupt the purity of family life, ami tend greatly to overcome the natural increase of population. Infanticide and the stuuieil neglect of children kill off a large proportion prematurely In the Department of the Loire Inferleure at the rate of 90 per cent, of the children under one year of age while In the late wars the Crimea killed 30,000 men, China and Mexico 65.000, Italy, 00,000, making 805,000 in all. Yet despite these untoward influences, the commerce of France was never more prosperous and self-sustaining. The Imports Into France in the year 186S reached the unprecedented value of 13B,W2,990. Articles o' food, 37,310,560 ; raw material and natu ral products, 82,793,840; manufactured articles, 9,308,840; other articles; 5,975,0. Corn stands for 16,047,720 ; cattle, 8,670,930; Bilk, 13,983,960; COtton, 11,826,720; WOOl, 10,874,160. Passing to the export trade of France In 1963, we find an Increase over 1367, the value reaching 116,271,600; manufactured articles, 60,6P4,920; natural products and food, 46,343,960; other mer chandise, 4,272,720. Tissues of silk show an amount of 13,354,44S ; of wool, 10,137,960; of cot ton, 2,227,720; wines, 10,695,000. The secretary reports, with regard to the cotton and woolleu trade, that In the Ave eastern departments there Is capital Invested In spinning machinery to the amount of 3,000,000. The trade employs 60,000 workmen, whose wages, It is calculated, are suitlclcnt for the dally support of 160,000 people. Their labor Is valued at 6,600,000. The printing factories In the same districts number 10, employing 10,000 workmen, who receive wages which support 25,000 persons. The annual value of the proceeds is calculated at 1,760,000. Half the produce of these two branches of Industry is exported, and half Is consumed in the country. Beon after the Treaty of Commerce with Kngland came in force the prldting Interest repre sented that their exports would be quadrupled ir tho free entry of foreign tissues subject to re-exportation were accorded. The government accordingly granted their temporary admission free of duty. The returns for the first four mouths of the present year show a large Increase la the exports of cotton tissues, which It was asserted that France could no longer supply, owing to English competition. There Is a large Increase also In the export of tissues of wool aud of silk. The total value of the exports from France in the first four mouths of 1S09 Is given as 42,117,( 00, the value in the corresponding period of 1S03 being only 35,932,720. The exportation or wines and liquors Increased from 20,8,3,330 imperial gallons In 1363 to 25.636,990 gallons iu 1369. The customa and excise duties of the fcur months ad vanced from 9,820,760 111 103 to 9,677,610 In 1909. Nothing could more plainly show the inherent vitality of France than this prosperity, sustained notwithstanding the unnatural drains made by the Government in the shape of a huge standing army, and by the people themselves, owing to the peculiar constitution of their sccletr. -The Hon.

Pnn.ADBI.PHIA, August 2T, 1369. Messrs. Fabbpl, Berrihg & Co. Gentlemen: In the year 1866 1 unfortunately was in business In the Artisan Building, which was de stroyed by lire on tho 10th of April. I had then to use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but upon opening it I found everything destroyed, and Are burning therein. You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several of your Safes In that tire, also several In the Are at Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, five weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened proved they were Ore-proof indeed, for I witnessed the opening of the most of them, and In every case the contents were preserved, while Safes of ether makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at once concluded to have something that I could de pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes. The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev eral gentlemen that reside In the neighborhood) at the destruction of my Marble Paper factory, 9A Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the 24th Inst. After digging the safe from the ruins, and opening It this morning, I was much pleased to find everything, consisting of books, papers, money and silverware, all right I shall want another of your safes as soon as I can get a place to continue mv business in. I could not rest contented with any other make of safes. CnARLES WILLIAMS, Marble Paper Manufacturer. HERBING'S PATENT CHAMPION SAFES, the most reliable protection from lire now known.
