Those of , our Democratic friends 'who had calculated ; on a large gain for POWELL, in Wayne, as a result of RepubliCan dissitisfaetion in that caunty at the nomination of Colonel OVEIcTON, must now count that por tion of l their political capital as lost. Both' the candidates for Congress visited Wayne county last week. Col. OvErerox was warmly received by the leading - Republicans, introduced to a large number of the best citizens, and made to feel that_ he 'was among friends.- Mr. PowiLL conferred with the notorious DDLMICE., of bank swindling memory, whom he last spring aided in appointing as dele gate to the St. Louis Convention, and with the Democratic local can didates. But he found them able to give him very little consolation. The Democracy were in a shocking snail with :regard to their legislative ticket, and were afflicted with bolters,lnde 'pendent tickets, and stump qmndi dates. Each candidate was trf ing to crowd the others off the course, and to secure a change in his own favor. POWELL'S influence was like anything but oil on the troubled waters. Each candidate feared that he was to be sac rificed, and suspected that POWELL was secretlfencouraging a Combina= Mon for that purpose, in order to I make the field clear and help the con gressional ticket.' Therefore .1 - ;owzra. was regarded with coolness and dis- I trust by his associates on the ticket, all of whom felt relieved when he left `town.. The only ones who appeared , cordial toward him were those who took his money two years ago, and who still seemed to look upon his I I pocket-book as "my meat." If there are any " sore-beads " in Wayne, we should naturally expect their to be Mr. JADWIN, who was Col. GYEILTON's competitor before the con ference, and Judge WILSON, editor of the Honesdale 'Citizen, who led Mr. JAowiN's conferees, and who was the only conferee from Wayne tiounty who did not vote for Col.. OvsaroN on the final ballot. Yet these 'gen tlemen rendered Col. OVER.TON every service in their power during his stay in the county, and gave everiprobf that he would receive a hearty sup port from the Republicans of Wayne. Mr. JADWIN was especially ,cordial in his attentions and assistance, accom- partying Col. OVERTON to various 10-I;calities 1;calities in Wayne anti Susquehanna counties, and exerting all his powers and influence in behalf of his late competitor. On Wednesday evening, Col. OVERTON attended a meeting of the HAYEs and WHEELER Club, of Honesdale. After speeches by Ho- MER GREENE and G. G. 1 1 WALLER, Esqs., Judge WILSON introduced Col. OVERTON in the following language: " Not many years ago—withinthe mem ory of every man in this room—an armed 'rebellion, in force and magnitude far sur passing any ever before recorded in the history of this planet, threatened the over throw of our government, the destruction of the nation, and the downfall of free in stitutions. ow that rebellion was sup pressed, by what heroic struggle and sac rifice the nation and government were pre served, we all remember. And now that the Union is restored we 'see in our na tlonal councils the survivers of the rebel lion, tainted with treason and stained with loyal blOod, seeking to secure by political arts and by legislation that dominion over the country which they failed to gain by war. I see before me some of the brave men who stood by the nation in the hour of peril. To you I introduce a comrade who shares with you the glory of saving the republic, and of making it possible to elect a President -of the Lni ed States; and you all I introduce a fellow citizen whom we may well be proud to know. On the battle fields of the rebellion—at 3lau _ asses, at Chantilly, at South Mountain, at Antietam, at Vicksburg, at Jackson, at Knoxville, through the Wilderness, a Spotsylvany, at Cold -Harbor, at Peters burg—he served his country bravely and faithfully, and helped to conquer the fifty Confederate generals, colonels and cap . tdns who, by the grace -of, the American people and througii a lenity never before ' shown to conqeured rebels; are now in the Con , rress of the United States. The peo ple of this district propose that he shall 'meet these Confederate generals, and col onels, and captains once more—that he shall meet them face to face on the floor of Congress. This soldier—this citizen— whom we will trust to maintain in the halls of Congress the principles, which he maintained so bravely in the field, and for which he shed his blood at Antietam, is Col. Euivaan OVERTON. Col. OVERTON then took the floor amidst enthusiastic cheering, and de livered an eloiptent 'address, review ing the platforms and record of the • - two parties, Vindicating the claim of the, Republican party to the confi de:nee of the country, and exposing the hollowness of the Democratic pretenc,?s of reform. He produced an impression of the most favorable description, and was frequently in terrupted by applause. Wayne coun ty may be depended on to give Col. OvEnTos its full Republican vete, at least ; and we shall not be surprised to see him do even better than this. POWELL•N WAR RECORD The opposition newspapers in this district, with the deSign of counter acting the enthusiasm Col. OVERTON'S brilliant war record everywhere - awakens, speak of Mr. Powr.m.'s "war record." We would not dispute Mr. PowELL's loyalty during the rebell ion, but his "war record" only has an existence in the fruitful imaginations of several editors, who would have denotmcCd him as they did other. sol diers had he been making a good " record " in the field during the war.

FRIEND AIXORD: I recently re ceived a printed circular reflecting upon the professional character of I your :candidate for State Senator. This assault upon Mr. Davies great ly surprised me. When I became President Judge of the Bradford District., Mr. Davies appeared before me as District Attorne r y, and contin ued his large and increasing practice until I left; Bradford county. During all that. period I never had reason to doubt Mr. Davies' faithfulnesi to his clients; and his reputation with the Bench and Bar was that of an honor able and faithful lawyer. • I know Mr. George 11. Welles, of Wyalusing, and•respect him as a man : of integrity and high character, but it seems to me that he has erred in judgment in his strictures upon !the conduct of his former counsel. I trust Mr. Davies will not suffer by reason of this attielc, upon for I do not see that he has been guilty of any professional impropri ety. Very TiTily Yours F. B. STREETER. ADDRESS OF THE REPICBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. Gen. HOYT, Chairman of `the Re pnhkiean State Central Committee. has Issued the following stirring ad dresS : Hdons. REPL"BLICAN STATE COMMIT TEE, PHILADELPHIA, October 14, 1876. To the People of Pennsylvania: Eleven years after the overthrciir of the rebellion we find the men who forced it upon the country again preparing to seize the gov ernment. It is the old Confederate army united upon the old Confederate heresy. They have never abandoned their cher ished idea—they still think with Mr. Til den that ours is but a dumfedracy and not a rattan, They have made him their can didate because he never abancbined the declared conviction that " the Constituri m of the United States is only organized rev olution," and that "any state has the 'right to snap the tie at its pleasure." This was the heresy that fired the rebel gun . from Charleston against Sumpter in Mil, and 'this is the heresy they are remarshal ing in 1876 to re-establish. To this end they have crushed out Republican opinion in every Southern State. To this endthey have made the white Republican aa out cast and the black Republican a vassal. To this eud coercion of Republicans is their stern discipline, By force their Con federate heresy is again the cement to make a solid South. The Confederate army is far more uni ted to-day in' the new effort to seize the government than it was fifteen years ago, in the mad effort to destroy it.. They arc still aided by their sympathizers in the. North. They have concentrated thcstrug gle upon a single issue—the revolution of the government. They sink every other question out of sight, and thus they teach us our duty. Shall they recover by the b pilot, conferred upon them. by Republi can magnanimity, what they lost on the battle-field in (=llia with the peniile they 'betrayed? We have met and vanquished their assaulting columns five times since the first Tuesday of September, IS7G—..in Vermont; Maine, Colarado, Oh o' and In diana—gaining ten members of Congress, electing live Legislatures, including that of Indiana, which even the rebeK'raiders from Kentucky were: not able to capture. DcmocAatie victories in the South are only 1 evidences of Democratic terrorisni over ltepublicans. Sixty-five thousand' Demo ! eratie majority in Georgiameans sixty-five thousand rebel shotguns at the Thr,e, weeks only are left to us to meet the new crisis forced upon .us by these men. What will Peiiiorlifertoi'ia do t Our enemies, confident of successful coercion ; all over the South, have resolved to make another attack upon this great State. They leave the South in the safe custody of the reorganized Confederate army, and they arc now, as in 1863, marching upon Penn sylvania in determined array, and their I rebel yell is already heard within our lim- I its. Let us be prepared for them. Our i ; great Commonwealth has always been the I stronghold of nationality. During the war she gave her treas:treS of men and money Ito the cause of her country. Standing he ! tween the two sections, she has always L been the foe 'of .sec ionalisni. She stood by Lincoln, Grant, Sherman and Meade during all the struggles of the war. The people, believed that when Vicksburg and Gettysburg fell on the 4th of July, 1863, the great work of restoration was accom plished and the rebellion was dead, but. they are now brought face to face with a revolution as dangerous as the rebellion itself. When fifteen States can be more unified by the shotgun and bludgeon than they were by armed szeession itself, and when this combination is enforced by the sup iaession of free speech, a free ballot and fee schools, its success must end our re publican experiment. These men tried to fight their. way out of the Union at an incalculable sacrifice of human life, and now they are trying within the Union, by new forms of violence and, fraud, to re.-.?s2_ tablish the dogmas supprised• to bo de stroyed on the battle-field. All they ask is a 'sufficient contingent - from the free States to complete their programme. It is in this Centennial year, when Pennsyl vania is inviting all the, nations to her hos-. pitalities, and proffering encouragement and kindness to leer Southern sister S, that the Confederates advance upon her bor ders to make another effort for the heresy which originated and prolonged the 'rebel- Pennsylvania demands "peace anti uni ty,'" but she demands them ;as the result of 'cheerful obedience to just law, add not as the sullen submission compelled by the officers of the government. Pennsylvania demands industrial and commercial pros perity; but she knows that these are the fruits of peaceful and orderly sOciety, based upon honesty and right, and.cannot grow out of the anarchy.and chaos threatened by a solid South. Pennsylvania will tirst have justice, and then prosperity. Has the country no road to prosperity but that which disgraces the scars of the living sol diers and dishonors the graves of the dead? Pennsylvania will have purity in public administration, but she wants none of the illtisive promises of "reform" made by Tilden and illustrated by Tweed and the disciples of Tammany Hall. - 31en of Pennsylvania, upon you rests the responsibility—yours is the absorbing oblization. Will you "Hold the Fort?" By order of the committee. HER M. Horr, Chairman. A. WILSO! NonliTS, Secretary. REFORM! Reform! Reform! is the ,cry of the opposition. What have they re formed ? What promise does the past history of ,the party give of genuine reform ?: It was currently reported by Democrats, and we have never heard it denied by any one; that thousand dollars i ,were ex pended to secure the election of Mr. PowELL, two years ago. Does such foul -'corruption of voters savor of reform? MANY a truth is spoken in ignor ance.

Five Thousand People Witness the Parade and Cheer it as it Passes :1 The torch-light procession in himor of the splendid victory achieved by the Republicans in the West at the October elections, on Tuesday even ing, was one of the grandest demon strations ever Witnessed in Towanda. Only a abort notice of the meeting was published, but the people in town and vicinity turned out en masse. The procession organized at 7 o'clock, under command of Capt. MANvILLE, assisted by Capt. G. D. STROUD, W. S. VINCENT, Q. D. KINNEY,' JOHNSON WELLS, W. H. H. Gonz,:and moved up Main street to Livist avenue, thence to .York avenue, down -Y:ork avenue to Houston, up Houston to Third, up Third to Chestnut, up Chestnut to Fourth, down Foiirth to Lombard; dovin Lombard to' Third, down Third to State, down State to Second, down Second to Grant, down Grant to Main, up Main to the Park, where the procession was disbanded. The procession was headed by the celebrated Lin4a Band, the second division by VELIE'S' drum corp., and the third division by the Ulster and and Sheshenuin drum corps. A prominent feature of the procession was the large number of cavalrymen who made a very fine appearance The transparencies were as unique as they were telling. All along the line_ the residences of Republicans were brilliantly and beautifully illu minated. 'Pr. Renttnt's illumination was especially noticeable. After the procession had been dis banded the Court Rouse'was densely.' crowded, and Gen. Divo,i was listen ed to by as attentive an audience as was ever assembled i . for an hour and a-half., His speech was a fair, im- partial discussion of the issues of the day, delive'red in a manner to carry conviction and win the admiration of every unprejudiced listener. The General was followed by Hon. E. N. FEISBIE and COl. Ch'ERTON in short speeches, which were well re- ceived by the large audience. During the delivery of Gen. DIVEN'S speech, the crowd who Were unable toTind standing room in the Court HOuse assembled in the Park, and were addressed by Col. Ovia.rox, Hon. E. N. FRISBIE, HoLcoma, W T. DAVIES, I. McPnEasoiq and N. C. ELSBREE in enthusiastic, stirring words.

Hon. GEO. LANDON has Nsitively ,promised to be present, and speak on the occasion. The friends of freedom in eastern :Bradfonl will turn out masse on the occasion, and make it one of the grandest demonstrations of the campaign. THE mechanics and laboring men were pathetically appealed to by the speakers, on Saturday evening, to support the Democratic ticket. Those noisy gentlemen, however, forgot to inform their aulitors that one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic party is free tree, the curse of every laboring-upsta: - A -Tremendous Outpouring TIIE DIAEOCRAoY di:MIL - ATE I A r.dulAxi !

Early on Thursday morning last the bill-boards of our village were spread over with a flaming hand-bill whose artistio grouping of letters and lines was only equ aled by the fervid eloquence of its wording. The first the •uomis takable skillful .handiwork of Judge PARSONS, wh ilst the latter was just as unmistakably from , the fertile brain of Judge Pee:sores son. It, was an unexcelled combining of Art and, Eloquence. Ordinarily this would :have been sufficient to arouse the sluggish blood of democracy, but this was an extraordinary' occasion and extraordinary measures were neces sary. What in the significance of its bearings On the future . .was the takine , of Holland by the Dutch cum ,pareda to the democrats .electing a part of their ticket in democratic In dians? Isthe dew-drop glistening in the morning sun to be compared to the Atlantic ocean in questions in- . yolving navigation ? Can the moun tain brooklet be compared to the mighty Mississippi? Nay Let the ,democracy then arouse! Thera! Mounted on Mettlesome chargers, were the couriers sent to the out posts to summon. the hosts of dem-- ocracy. Through' the busy hours of day and quiet ones of night the pre parations went on.- The Tilden club room became suddenly transformed into a studio of art. Yard *upon yarn of snow-white muslin was being manufactured into large and small transparencies. Grimm-ly stood the artist in lampblack and oil patiently awaiting the time when his serviees should be called for to place upon the muslin the chaste witticisms of deni ocratic wits. Torches were sent for to other counties. Democratic pa re:*ts were requested to have their !children • put early to bed on the even ing previous that they might be the mare wakeful on the night of the ever-to-be-remembered 14th. At last the preparations were all, completed and the "Judge " whispered it con fidentiall on the street, that " Towan da had never seenany thing. that Would commence with their demon stration. Why it will be 'usitfru!:t.' " At last the eventful evening came, and at an early hour the hosts that were to join hi the grand triumplO procession. Those in - wagons, from Ulster—number of wagons, two,— those on t.orses were from Wysox,— number of horses, eight,—those on foot were from near the Upper Depot and from thefact that they came one at a time, and a long way apart, we were unable to get a correct count of thou, not wishing to be absent frOm" where'the -procession was to be form ed in Marching order. Taking up a commanding position at the corner of Bridge and: Main streets, at about 8 o'clock, we waited the first signal that should herald the approach of the coming legions mar shaling for the cavalcade of magnifi cence. What ho! Hark! A sound breaks on our ear! And in a trio- Molt there appears before our vision a coal black steed, richly caparison ed and chaffing at the fill, that hurls him back upon • his haunches as his rider suddenly tightens the reins. i If the steed was beautiful 'as hn An- , dulasian courser who shall attempt a 'fleseription of his rider?

The - depreesion-:', 4 whieh. .has . been Crushing our indiistries is loosening its grip, and for the first elm) since the spring of 1873 business signs'are clearly -encouraging, iindi- business men generally hopeful.; In this State the tone of manufacturers! and mer chants is encouraging and hopeful to a great degree.. There is an active demand- for cotton, good's, especially print cloths, at' - handsome The Woollen manufacturers are run ning full . time, and making a fair profit; the jewelry makers 'are receiv ing liberal.ordees and calling in their help; the iron manufacturers are hav ing a great many inquiries in-regard to work, and a fair number of orders; wholesalers of dry foods, boots and shoes, and groceries; note igreat im provement,in the. demand for their goods; retailers, see that people buy more fre..ly and more• confidently; everything feels the stir of coming trade. Quite a number of mills could not start on , account of low water, but the rain •of Sunday, the 17th, swelled the streams,• and probably over one hundred of the one hundred arid twenty-eight cotton manufacto ries in the State are in .operation to day. Of those which are still idle, chiefly the more -unimportant mills, some only need. more water, while others, mills - which failed, will be started if satisfactory arrangements can be made with creditors. (, All manufacturers do not agree upon the prospect for cotton mano farfturing in the future. They do agree, however, that there are good grounds for faith and for hope. The first of these grounds is in the char acter of the present demand. It in dicates that print cloths are not plentiful in the 'market, which shows that the over-production which hung so long. and so heavily about the necks of cotton manufacturers, has gor.c into consumption. Production has been greatly lessened during the past year, while • population has in creased. From figures presented at the meeting of the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association last April, it appears that the pro duction this year of cotton fabrics other, han printing cloths, consisting of sheeting, shirting, drills and color ed, goods, is no more, and probably less, in proportion to the population of the-United States, than it was in 185q' and 'IBGO. And yet 1860 was . the tear in which was said that every man who was willing. to work could get rich in this country. ROMANCE ON THE BAIL-011 one of the overcrowded passenger ears that arrived in this city yesterday; - a lady named Ford was a passenger. She resides in Illinois, — and was on her way with her two children to the Centennial. Some three. years ago she and her husband had a. difficulty, which resulted in their separation. Ile quit - the neighborhood in Which he had resided with her, and took up his abode in New-Orleans. The wife in the meantime lived in'entire ignor, ante .of her husband's whereabOuts, not suppbsing that a re-union would ever be effected. When the train ar rived in the depot here the lady alighted from the car and partook of some refreshments. When about to take her place on the car her eyes met those of a gentleman standing on the platform whom she. at once recognized as her husband. The rec ognition was mutual. l , The memories 'of the happy days of old came back to both of them, a cordial:re-union took place in the cars, and they pro ceeded eastward together.

SOME idea of the cost of electing a Deinocratic Senator in this district May be inferred from the declaration cif the successful candidate, two years ego.' Mr. ROCKWELL said to a friend this year that he would rather pay five hundred dollars than be compelled to, stand another .canvass—and yet Mr. ROCKWELL solemnly swore that he did not use any corrupt means to secure his election.

Many of them are honored with per sonal interviews with the President, who greets them all cordially. Every day, as the record of the last Con gress.ts examined and - overhauled, sourer astounding development is made showing how unsafe and: even dangerous it would, be to restore the Democratic party to pow er.- We have an exhibit of the purpose of the ex• Confederate Congress in the titt i morons bills intredneed by Demoemtt members, a majority of whom were frore the South, to take from'tbe Treasury $2,- 503,022,i80. This sum exceeds our pres-' cut national debt $40,000,000.

' Any one who will take the trouble to ex amine the files in the Doriument room in the Capitol, will find 400 bins proposing to appropriate the enormous sum which is stated above ; and it will be borne in mind that every dollar of the vast sum is to be expended in the South.

Cabinet officers are just now a scarce commodity in Vr ashington,-not more than one or two out of the seven being elligible for business purposes. Secretary Fish has rot yet returned from his summer vaca tion, and is, with his family, still among. the highlands of the Hudson. • Secretary Morrill has been "off and on " during the Congressional recess, and is now resting for a few days in the country.

Secretary Cameron has been absent a few weeks with Gen. Sherman, inspecting the various military postsin the far West, and posting himself in relation to the ma chinery of the waiarm of the Government. Ile will return this week to his duties in the Department. Like Secretary Morrill, he is one of the new men at -the' wheel and has worked hard during his six months of official life.

Tne facts appear to, be that, ou coming into power. in 1872, the Republicans found that Gov. Hoiloratesi administra tion hail eepleted some funds to make others whole, and some war debts had matured. To maintain the State credit. they were compelled to lay some taxes to meet current obligations, which they had not made: They did so, and; perfecting their payments, made a clean thing of it. The special tax of course expired, as . it would have done under any Governor. The Constitutional Amendments stopped some big land leaks . also. Tilden - came in, 1874. All these changes he coolly ar propriated to himself ! As when '• Little Jack Horner Sat In a corner, Eating a piece of Cltr!stelae pie • lie muck in MI thumb, An,l pulled out a plumb, 4 .011 ! what a brave boy atu I,•' ii • I _Remember that Governer TILDF...ir made no laws—repealed no law—v'etoed no law. It requires three to make or unmake a law, usually : first the House, . then the Senatt.; thbn the Governor,' 'lf the Gov ernor vet ' oie . the two Houses' may pass an act over his cad; but he can neither orig inate norrep, al any act whatever. If my memory seryki, the Senate lwas Republi , can both years of Gov. Titais:N's term, and both Houses were Republican last year-4So that, if any " Reform " in legis latimf was made during his term, the Re publicans 'sere the originators of it, and his mere "approval" was a small share. He did push the prosecution of some Ca nal thieves,•commenced under Gov. Dix, and Ilegan a few himself, as was plain duty for both of those high Offirs, but there -has been but one conviction, and that has not paid' expenses; , Some of the rogues aided in his nomination for Presi dent; and, since that, we bear of no more prosecutions of the canal robbers ! Yet Tilden's two ination was secured by this paraile of his zeal and succesa as a "Re. former !" under this expositiop t , what a. AMID end a shame to present Itha w tim author and originator of wonderful_ "reforms . " In New York State -Those necessary taxes, ; tinder a Re pub... Hem administration, were followed,by theliard times of 1878, which made txa tion much more onerous. Tilden bad— after the downfall of Tweed—been we'l employed in prosecuting that eprincv of swindlers—and the people then had high :hopes of Tilden as a practical reformer, and gave him the position of Governor., But those hopes were bloated, and thous ands who supported him two years ago, are ..now hia_stron,gest_Aapponmats. Bever offered a reward, for the o pture of Tweed,- nor turned out of office.the Sher iff who allowed his. escape. It seems Tweed has transferred' his property, so that the Sheriff reports 'no means to re cover the six millions of dollars adjudged to the city, And thus the old 'pelitisal and personal firm of Tilden & Tweed, 'altho' apparently dissolved;' hire proven, in . practice, very expensive and unsatisfacto ry "Reformers !" On the other hand, the, much-abused President Grant, who makes no fuss as a "Reformer," has prosecuted and convict ed twenty whisky thieves, where Tilden has ono Canal thief. Grant's officers have recovered to the United States Treasury ten thousand dollirs, whore Tilden's have one to the New •Arork Treasury; arid the United States Officers have caught and are bringing homb Tweed, to the conster nation of the Tammany Hall ring, who shared his stealirigs and allowed him to escape. The record of Gov. Hayes is Perfetly stainless His reforms have. been probti cal, on a large 'scale, and no one who knows him doubts his integrity rind his ability, and he will co-operate in every judicious reform, in the civil service es pecially. = Saying nothing of his income tax, his railway speculations, and 13rs - Tonner inti macy with Tweed, it is an infamously false pretense to present. Tilden as an es pecial Reformer. The next vote of New York State will sufficiently demonstrate this. A Ntw-YonKEu. "FOREWARNED, FOREARMED." Perhaps it was a fortunate thing that the ex-Rebels and their Northern sympa thizers captured the House of Represent atives, at WaShington, before, the Presi- • dential election of 1876. The , exhibition of hordes of Rebel. office-hunters in' the federal city which they had tried to des troythe turning out of maimed Union... soldiers to make *ay for Rebel soldiers— the character of the subordinate officers chosen--L.the shatheless• star-chamber, se cret, one-sided hunts for scanda l -- the enormous "damages" demanded by ex- Rebels on .account of the war they had created—all these were useful to stir up the public . mind to a better comprehen- • sion of the danger of admitting the late Rebels to any farther power. We tniglrt have supposed they were • reconciled to their defeat, and would manfully acknow ledge and submit to - the fortunes of war. But they show the real. sullen, vindictive traits of character, which Jefferson 150 aptly described as a result of Slavery. in, their oppression of the colored rate. While paring idown appropriations for army, navy, etc., under pretension of economy. they had" on file claims from, the south,. Which, if allowed, would stagger our national credit. Happily, they fia - ving only one branch of the law-making power, they did not pass those demands. Ilia, give them the three branches, and un known millions of " claims " will be hish-' eff through, and our credit and our cur rency would soon run down agar.: proper protection .would be(fifforded ' to. the freedmen, and they would \ have to r& sort to their natural powers of self protec tion. Then would be experiedeed " the horrors of St. Domingo." Then !! hard times." would be a reality, net a party pretence. ' No more Rebel triumphs, un der the false Bag of " Reform," for us. WIDE lwak E. . - THE COAL TRADE. 'The lower prices of coal have in creased business somewhat and are Rely to continue to do so.' IVe know of One bituminous coal compa ny that has had orders for :20,000 tons countermanded, owing to the lower prices ruling for anthracite, and we have no doubt that the aggre gate quantity of soft coal' counter manded from the same cause has been very large. ...however, there IS but little inclination to stock up heavily at the prices now current - , and as the actual requirements of the market cannot be - suddenlyinereasen to any great extent, the[ business duriha the balance of this Cyear will not ; :probably exceed that which would have ruled had prices continu ed on a higher level. Furnacemen not blow in till they have be come satisfied that the low prices are likely to continue,• and till freights and other things have got_ down . in sympathy with coal. That such will be the case cannot he doubted, but it gill take'sothe time to convince the iroh men that they can safely go to Work, and can make iron at that loiv et price which will command a larger . market. There are no indications of higher price's at _an early.day, but rather over-production on every side, which must eventually be regulated by rlri ces that will make'it profitable for some And impossible for others to continue producing. Even then the more profitable : business will come rather from redtiction in cost of pro ducing than in much higher selling prices. So far as we can. interpret the signs of the times there seems to be no in- . dication .of high &ices in coal for some years,to Come; .The men are in no condition td ,- oppose, by any long continued strike, the reductions in wages that have becoma inevitable, and the productive capacity of our mines is quite sufficient to supply a_ much greater demand than we are likely to have foi . the next year or' two. Reductions in wages have, with few exceptions, bjen • submitted to without opposition, It
