The New l,eatler;of the Democratic
Party,
About eighteen yearsago tke : Uniteii3tates',
were honored by tb%y}sif of jAiLEB’Sti.K:Ecoir
ikohau, an Englißhftraveilor. (He Was p man
of varied accomj)Uahhienhi I ‘ had: been a inem
ber of Parliament^’aud during his tour amused
himself by repeating a course of lectures of a
highly popular character. He had Oriental
tastes, rad a habit of mingling with his state-
ments of men and things certain allusions to
llUnsclf, which generally made him the most
conspiciious ciiaracte'r in his story., ..The mis
fortune of Mr. Buckingham was that, notwith
standing Ilia personal and intellectual graces,
and his storea.of information, nobody believed
him ito be stneere. His solf-coniplacenoy and
his contempt for his hearers were so apparent,
that, however they may have admired his col
loquial BHU-~which was wonderful—they rare
ly parted from him without coming to the
conclusion that' he was an excessively vain
man—fond of imposing impossible stories upon
his audience, and entirely content to rest for
his vindication upon tho fact that what ho did
and said was done with infinite caso and un
blushing effrontery.
, Any ope.dropping into,tho Administration
meeting held on Monday evening last, at Dr.
JAvne’s Hall, in this city, while Hon.
TYimiam B. Keed was delivering his speech,
would have been arrested by the nonchalance
with which' the late Minister to China pro
nounced his opinions upon existing political
issues; If' the ■ hearer was- a Democrat he
might well have, inquired whether the speaker
was apeh., The meeting was unquestionably
called’ to sustain a Democratic ticket. The
chairman of the; meeting was an old-lino De
mocrat. But tho, speech of Mr. Reed was de
voted to, an exquisitely airy defence of him
stlf. i He seemed to, have no more idea that
he was talking,,to a. than tho
.chairman had that he was presiding oyer a
Republican meeting, Thero .was.no elegant
as ho' proceeded to
iniaginfiry attacks, only

the .charjjctflf of -‘‘Dazzle” in tho play of
London Assurance.” Ho seemed to regard
the two or three ; thousand persons present as
having, been assembled entirely to do Aim
hoAort. His ; bonrlng, always graccibl, was
never s» graceful; and his voice, always care
fully was never so carefully modu
lated as on Monday evening.
-> h> Thore ,wero, reasons, indeed, why Mr., Reed '
could not advocato the! Democratic ticket now
in nomination before the people of Philadel
phia. ..Hecould not advocate the eiection of
Hoax ,R. Kneass, for District. Attorney,
whom on -a, former occasion, not many
years ago, he had hunted with character
istic-acrimony and perseverance out oftlio place.
to which ills friends believed ho had been
elected.,- He could not speak, favorably of the
other Democrats on the regularly.chosen ticket
of the party In this city, because, in most cases,
they had!been bis political and liis personal
enemies. ,Ho came to the meeting, therefore,
simply to ndyortise p4CO4 C0 himself

His to General Jackson was so
steadily displayed, that he
soon became, & ?JsaselpUi$ f the embodi
ment of the extreme J4e& of mtywpt' hos
tility to the hero" of tho Hermitage. And
when, in 1835, owing to the division of the
Democratic party, Joseph.Ritneb was elected
Goycyuor, of. Pennsylvania, he was appoint

held j in other wbrds, that tho decision of the
majority of the people of Pennsylvania should
be disregarded, 4nd that a rejected Administra
tion should be continued in power, in defiance
of the ballot-box.
• His participation in tho campaign of 1840
it is nnnecessary to recall. That of 1844 will
bo sufficiently remembered by the Democrats
of Pennsylvania, in tho shameless letter which
ho wrote to Lehigh county, enclosing money
to enable Lehigh “Jo do better/ 1 which
achievement was regarded as ,so adroit a feat
of political chicanery that , the Democratic
Committees—headed at that timo by such men
as CoL James Face—-seriously .deliberated
upon the propriety of requiring the presence
of the writer in our criminal courts', not in the
position which he subsequently occupied as
tho public prosecutor, but as an ornamont of
tho criminal dock. In 1848 Mr. Reed gnvo
now proof of his continued affectionate hos
tility to tho Democratic party. In 1851-52,
his. ardor;, and devotion to the Democratic
party (at - a time when his present friend,
Mr.- Buchanan, 'was struggling for the
Presidency) was exhibited by his Indus
trious and unsleeping/vigilance to prove
that the Democrats of this city tvero dis
tinguished for cheating at elections; that
nearly overy Democratic election officer was 1
dishonest; and that Itttlo confidence was to bo.
placed in any man who had tho audacity to
come forward and vote tbo Democratic tiekot.
We leave the 'amiabilities of this part of Mr.
Reed's history to tho present c&udidato of the
Democratic party for. District Attorney—Mr. v
Hohn.R. Kneass—and ta.'flioso.gentlemen in
the old Fourth ward of Philadelphia of. whom
tho former District Attorney and tho late Ame
rican minister to China spoke in such choico
terms in his addresses before that celebrated
judicial tribunal, the Court of QuarteV Ses
sions, for the city and county of Philadelphia.;
/ It Is a little curious that after a gentleman
with such a record has bcon admitted into the
Democratic campg-and, by liis own pertina
cious . efforts, immediately commissioned a
leader in that party, and elevated to a high
position under tho General Administration—
he should assume the attitude of inhking him
self ft martyr, and of denouncing all who . do
not endorse the heresies of that 1 Administra
tion. Who has attacked William B. Reed?

pect, since his, entrance into tho, Democratic
ranks, that until his speech oil Monday ovon

Democratic party was called together for tho
purpose of taking steps to insure harmonious
action in October, should ho have come for

a man to move'” without a motive, nor
is* lie willing to subject himself to the
just imputation of trampling under foot
the courtesies of life, without feeling that
he is to be well compensated for it.
On Monday evening, every speaker but him
self took special pains to invoke every good
augury upon the Democratic arms. Mr.
Bbewster invited the Democracy to har
mony. Mr. "Witte confined himself to the
safe field of local politics. Mr. Hart,an In
gram indulged in a glowing compliment to tho
Democratic parly generally, and Mr. J. T.
Owen expanded in a very proper culogium
upon certain candidates on tho Democratic
ticket. Mr. W. B. Reeii came for no sucli
purposes as these. Ho rose to defend the
Administration of Mr. Buchanan, to declare
that tho only issue involved in tho present
contest was whether that Administration was
Eight orwrqpg,;and to indulge himself in cha
raptwlslte abuso of tlioso who happen, for
tile time being, to differ from him. The worst
enemy could kavo done no more to dostroy the
Democratic'party, and if Mr. Reed had desired
to prove his continued inveterate hostility to
the principles of that party, ho could have
taken no better course thnn that which ho
adopted oh Monday evening.
Tho late American minister to China may
bo said to have sustained two characters since
his relurn.to Philadelphia—that of pretended
approval Of the President and liis Administra
tion, andiliat of a quiet satiro of both. Those
who know him belter than we aro freo to say
that he has beon sneering at Mr. Buchanan
and his policy, in oyory social circlo where he
supposed'lio might speak safely, and that not
long ago he did not hesitate to say that ho con
sidered the Administration “an a dead
friend, and that all that, now remained to bo
done was to see it decently buried.” Those
wlio recall his heartless allusions to the
Whig puffy after ho left it, his con
temptuous references to tho great and good
men: in that organization, and his deliberate
betrayal, in detail, of ali who bad confided in
him, spay |>e able to appreciate tho force of
this allusion to tho Administration of Mr.
Buchanan, and his boasted “ respect for the
mcmpry-oC ancient friendships,” in his speech
on Moboay evening. A person who, without
excuse, ‘find without provocation, will come

Tim true secret of his speech is, that he
needs another 0//jce., The President wants
defenders, and Mr. Reed wafcic glare. In tho
little we have known of him, this" trail io hjs
character has constantly appeared. Tiie Pre

of artiste and layer? ot the arte wna large, and wo
noticed our excellent ens frjrnd Rembrandt
Pealo among the numbor, looking extre|pe)y well
after hf* gammer in the country. We believe, also,
that as we entered tho room there glanced by up
the thoughtful yet animated face of Thomas Sully.
These paintings are now on publlo view, and
consist (we ow#? t]}era in order of merit, as appears
to üb) of Tho Adoration of tyo Magi, painted with
wonderful finish by Steinbrack; The Pqacfyer’s
Death, an impressive tragedy by Kubnfer, which
tells its own story, as all good pictures should do;
The Maityr<|oo? of Unas, by Logging; Othello re
lating his Adventures to Pesdemonn, by nildor
brandt, the fotnale face and tbe pose fq)l of ex
pression ; A Storm by A. Achonbacb; A Oaf tlo Jn
vaded by Puritans, by* Camphauaon, full of action ;
and The Btydent's R?ap)loation at the University,
bylfflscnolever, ft rather eavy’ attempt at Ho

Opening of the Statfi Fair ut'Pou'el*
Tlio itißUgurallbA of tlie State AgricuUufal
t»ou at Powehon,-ye&tartlay,was at onoe flattering to
<mr city and State, to tlie gentlemen wlto are iiitanMtftd
with its management apd tlio exhibitors, of whom there
ire, this season, an dnusunUy large number, T&fi d&y
was all that could havf'been desired for and
Iho admirable preparations made by tho committee for
The convenience of the public, bid fair to elicit ft' rich
roward, a« tho number of visiters for the
first fhiy,wn» unprecedented; a fnct whioh is doubtless
in some incnsure owing to the unfavorable weather of
last week, which deterred mnny from attending the conn
ty cxiiiliitiona of Berks, Bucks, Upon
the whole,'the finttorinc opening of yesterday farnishp*
irat an additional proof that the proper point for hold*
ing these annual exhibitions is at Philadelphia.'
As, however, thp opening and tho inci
dents of tlie dny aro fully given in our local columa, we
shall prooeed briefly to notice some of tholcficTingfea
tures of - ' k ‘ •' ■ ■:
THK KXIHMTION,
In the tent devoted to machinery. the portable farm
engine, from the manufactory of Mr. A. ArcliamhauU,
t« perhaps the limit important, feature. Thin engine it.
nf eight-horse tower. consumes but one ami a half tons
of octal per week, and is bo constructed «a to be honied
from place to place like nn ordinary wagon. Consider*
tn< the Small amount of fuel it eoi,sunnn ( and its eo*t—a
thousand dollars—which is considerable le*d than the
price of eight good horsos, wo should-think that these
engines were destined to come into general U&e tn re- ’
Tions where agriculture is largely carried on. Mr. Ar- ‘
chnmbnult has been manufacturing thorn s)noe 1649,
add in all cases they have given entire 'bftfier«ietinn.
The one on exhibition is but n sample <yjt« cha
racter; they are built of powers varying ffotn eight
to thirty horse power, the lattor being sold maiutv for
saw and grist mills in sections whore water i*ower t» lia
ble to fail, in which casos the engwo is firmh pealed on
a masonry of brick. Thej also work well in conjunc
tion with water power, and may lw placed hfc-nmning
order in three dass from the time thev are wellvered,
As Mr. Archamhanlt is constantly filling‘ofderfc for
them, persona desirous of examining thorn will always
have the opportunity of doing so at the fnpiory, Fif
teenth and Hamilton shoots.
Among the ai tides exhibited undor the head of" Ma
chinery," also, wo noticed Mr. Edwin. Clark's popular
patent flouring mill, of which we have had occasion to
speak heretofore. This economical and wonderfully
efficient mill is adapted toeithor water, horse, or steam
powor, and for all practical purposes iaujwnistiojiahlv
one ofthe most complete articles of machinery in this
Imp over invontod. For tlm Ixmofit of inquirers wo may
state that this mill may be seen running, at ail hours of
tho day, at No. 235 Race street, where it has been in
successful operation for more than ft year.’The fcreat
success which has attended thh sniff' of the fUnto and
county right of this mill, and the large number' of tho
mills now in oporation throughout tho cduhtiy,are a
sufficient endorsement of its superiority- V .
In the department of stoves, Mr. Charles Jonfty, No
-303 North Second street, exhibits his {celebrated,
“ Morning Star” and “Daylight" gas-burning cooking
stoves,of various sizes and styles; nlso, a handsome
lino of the beautiful Silver’s gas-burning parlor stove.
The display of parlor stoves, by Mr. J. 8. Clark idning
business at No. 1008 Market street) is one of the most
creditable and extensive in this department of the fair,
It embraces tondifToront sizes nf flm celebrated Silver’*
gas-consuming, air-tight, parlor atove. in which Mr.
Clark has this season made several valuable improve
ments. Two fire-board stoves, so constructed ns to
heat two rooms at the same time, attract much atten
tion in this collodion, from their novelty hnd boauti.
Two of Mr. Clark's popular “ Comet" ranges, patented
by him this year, are nlso exhibited '; m‘ addition to
which be displays four sizes of gns-buroime cooking
stoves, making, in alt, an admirable collection. We
may state, moreover, that these nro taken from
his usual stock, being fair samples of the stoves he
manufactures for his gonoral sales.
Mr. James Spear, tho celebrated atove Inventor, has
nlso a splendid lino of stoves on exhibition. 31y tho way,
those wishing to test tho cooking qualities of Mr. Spanr’e
world-renowned gfts-bunier. mar now y h*vo an excel
lent opportunity of doing so on‘tho fhik grofint\«, and at
tho snmo timo to indulge in one of Mr. B. H. Fussell's
capital dinners, which be is nerving up to thouaandi of
visitors. Mr. F. is using one of,Mr. Spear's stoves in

Shrtonoristhe patentee,is exhibited by Moists. Shruinor
k Ydu'nffi manufacturers nt Lancaster. anfc„ii eliciting
much attention’ and comment from stove critics. The
pntonteo explains tho manifest advantages of hisstovo
by the aid of a small model. Having previously learned
from our Lancaster exchanges somothlng-ef this ijeivly
introduced heater, we felt interested to ascertain the
philosophical principles upon which their clalmed.supcr
riority is based, and are entirely, salisfiedtyith tho re
sult. We have neither spaed nor time, in ot|V article to
day, to specify the peculiarities of Ibis stove,farthpr
than to say that In a numbor of public building*, where
several coal stoves woro formerly usedih'&Qfttfng them,
one of those of Messrs. Spear k Young is found sulfi
, cient.
* • The sootion ocoupiod by|Mes«rs. Sheblo k Fisher, for
the exhibition oftheir hay, manure, spading, sluice and
oonl fqrks' and hoes, is highly creditable to tho collec
tion. In this branch p/'jnnnufaotures the productions nf
Meurs.B. kV. huve an unilvajied ropMatmn. In tlioir
present display samples only of.tna miHieni
articles made by them are included ; y et it may probabU
be said to surpass in extent and variety any display of

•4io wreck of the grand saloon, nml, calling to tujc
uen to follow him, began a soaroh among the rum* for
t lose who might Imve been Itelow. Tlio only one m
tie apartment was his own little daughter, who h*ui
l ist arrived at the after part at tlio moment of the ex
plosion. and who. completely slieltered by tue wnuight
■ ron bulkhead, had escaped, by a miracle, totally un
hurt. Captain Harrison merely gave the order to pas*
her Up through the sky-lights, nnd continued Inssearch.
This was no easy matter. The wreck and rubbish
plied In all direotions in the ladies’small saloon, for
ward or the funnol. made it difficult to-move about.
The stnnm hid almost over) object, the place wan
| broken, tho floor in parts upheaved and riven, so as to
show a still more frightful smash in the saloons and
•nblns below. Thfritrh these apertures the brunt glare
!*eneath the lower deck of all. showed that the furnace
door had either been blown open or blown away, and
fho funnel hem/ gone, the draught was down the re
mnins'nf the climmey, forcing out the flames and allies
n a liorce and daneerous stream. This, as the eml*orn
’oucliod water, sent up a close. sutlocating air—half
<t*nm. half gas—in which it was difficult toseo, and al
no*t impossible to breathe. In the meantime, most on
Imard, including the visiters, took traps to restore order
ind confidence As I have already mul, there were for
mnutHy no holiday tourists there, the matter would
have haun much worse. Some of the ablest engineers
uul machinists were on deck, who could pretty well
•jk'sh what had happened, and what worse might fol
low. A funnel, filled similarly ,to that which had
htownui). was evidently getting intensely hot. and of
► hoso ptosent none knew to what extent its “jacket.”
or outer casing, had l»een damaged, or how soon it might
axplodo. Mr. Scott Mussel!• followed nr one or two en
gineers, ut once went below to the furnaces of these
itoilers, and orderod the steam to l>e blown off. the
mood of the citrines to be reduced, ami every precau
tion taken to guard a«vn*t mishap. Mr. Campbell re- ,
inaino't calm and collected on deck, getting the crew I
forward, and preventing anv unnecessary marm. Home j
if the men instuu’ly went below to search for those i
.uiiplorcd in the stoke-holes, whom it was now evident
must b« fearfu'ly injured, if indeed alive. Mr. Trot
man, with one or two others, went below to the lower
.leek cabma. where one. »t least, was known to be
•overed by the wreck, while Capt. Harrison came on
.lock and ordered the ship’s course to l>e altered toward
the land till it could he ascertained that there was
to 'niinedinte dm-'or frnrn fire or injury to the frame
of the vossel below. The former risk appeared to
be the most imminent, as the flames were still rusti
ng fiercely from the furnace . doors. The hose
was, therefore, ordered to ha laid on. and instant
preparations inode for extinguishing the fires.
Th« hose was cot at once into play, and a stream of
water wnß poured down into the stokehole beneath the
'nwrr dock. so aa in ft few minutes to quench the fire in
Mm furnaces, and put at re**t all fear ol danger from that
source. Within twenty minutes after the blowup the
real cause and nature of the mishap was known, nnd the
‘otnl safety of all the enrines and after boilorswasde
fimtoly ascertained. Fearful ns was tho explosion, it
was seen that, owing to the immense strength of the
ilnn, its violence had been entirolr confined to the com
partment in which it had occurred, and it was deter
mined to resume the original course and steer for Port
land. Alldanser from fire or another explosion being
now at nn end those who chose were onahlert to so down
and examine for themselves th« scene of tho disaster.
The litter on tho deck showed tint in the compartment
in whieh it had takon place, nndwlmre itwas confined
by the wtoughMron bulkheads, it had been wide nnd
general. The foro part ot Mr. Crace’s beautiful saloon
was a pile of glittering rubbish ft mere t-.mfuaed mass
ot lairds carpet shreds, hanging mirrors, *ilt frames,
and splinters of ornaments; tho rich gilt castings
were broken ftnd thrown down, tho brass work
r'pp°d. the handsome east iron column* round
the funnel overturned and strewed nlwnt. In the more
forward p.arVa state sittinr-room for ladies, every sni
de thing was destroyed, nmf the wooden flooring broken
and wrenched up. What tho consequence would have
l>een if it had taken place an hour later, when the Mat
ters would l*e sitting in the saloon, is almost Tearful to
think unon. Hut the damage in this part seemed a mere
ltngatelle when compared with the ravages among the
lower deck cabins beneath. It was difficult to go down
there, forthe whole place was. filled with fragments of
lioArds. chairs, beds, cabin (mines, broken stesm pipes
nnd si ptinu tithes, torn out rivets, nnd masses of the in
ner »mi outer ftinnels rent to pieces like calico, and lung
about like heaps of crumpled cardboard. Kver*thiug
was in literal fragments. The course of the oxpUmnn
could then lie seen nt once. The water, or rath'r
steam, in the casing had crushed in the inner casings,
blowing up the funnel above deck, while both funnels
l>elowitwere torn to p.eces nnd hurled about, some
times in single rivets or scraps no longer than one’*
hand, sometimes in crumpled up lumps weighing se\oral
hundredweight. Beneath this dock, toward the stoke
; hole, wlicre the rem n auU of the funnel left a yawning
hole like an oxtinct volcano, the force or the explosion
was still more manliest. Not only was the iron compart
ment nearest tothe boiler partly rent and pushed Iwick.
hut one of tho maid deck beams, an enormously missive
wrnnrht iron girder aliout two feet Jeep, and stranxihen
ed with nnglo irons.wnswrenched back and nen rly l>ent in
lmhe*. In some parts the explosion seems to have acted
with tho capricious violence of Hehtnin*. Tima, in
the grand saloon tho two largest mirrors on each side
of i., running tore and aft. were quite unbroken,
though the silvering was boiled off the Iwicks of both
by tho heat of the steam By the side of these glasses
east-iron columns were bent nnd broken, and mirrors
at four times the distance from the srfftt of the disaster
wore almost pulverized, nnd their framings even de
stro>od. The beautiful oak staircases descending to
tlio saloons were blown up like cardwnrk. yet not a
book nn the library shelve*, close to tho fennel, was
stirred. At the bottom of the stokehole I found one of
tlio gilt framings, which were placed round the win
dows ol tho saloon ; it was perfectly uninjured. For
your readers to understand this singularity they must
suppose one house—say number eight—to haie had an
explosion in its cellar, nnd among the ruin is found, un
injured, a drawing-room picture belonging to the next
door neighbor, At numlwrnine, The lioiler. as fnr as
can be judged from a superficial examination, stands
firm: a close scrutiny, however, will ho necessary to en
able the engineers to determine whether any parts of it.
moro especially its tulies. are injured. It seems almost
too much to hope that when such a severe concussion
wax experienced, it can have escaped entirely without
injury. Near and upon the boiler lie scraps ami mor
sels of the funnels, which show where the first tearing
awny enmjnenaed before the inner casing was blown up
to the deck.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Moner Market*
PniLADELPUM, Sept. 27,1859.
The stock and money markets are both in eueh a quiet
state, with so Little of fluctuation and such limited trails
notions, aa to afford no matter for remark or record.
In business circles the principal subject of remark of late
has been the burden inflicted upon our merchants by the
competition of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. for the
through freiyhtsof tfie country. The same complaint has
been made all the tune dun.ig the last two or three years
by tho Pittsburg people against this road, anti by the
people of Buffalo and the interior cities of New York
against both the Erie Railroad Co. and the New York
Central. It is alleged, with a.,gt»od deal of apparent
truth, That it is the persistence’ia this system of com
petition that has made the stock certifies tea of the En«
Railroad Company so unhappily like rfeiefs a/tnthe
tlteiion, and that all the companies that continue itwilf
sooner or later he brought into the same predicament.
Ibis competition hasled the great railroads tocarry
frcisht toand from the Western States at an actual fen*
upon every car load transported. If tho through »raffic
was the main business of these railroads, the resnlts of
this manner of doing business would t» speedily appa
rent to the Stockholders in the nnnnal Htatements of the
several concerns, but unfortunately forthe people who
ji\o upon tlie lines,of the roads, this is not the case.
1 he mam business oi even one of the great railroads is
i s local or way traffic, nndnn this it essays to make un
the losses which are sustained uron the through
freight, carried father outof a principle of pride and to
swell gross receipts than on' the principle of receiving
a tair compensation forwnrk and labor done anti per
formed. The people at the termini of the roads and
t>o*o who live along the routes are charged not only a
fair price for their transportation, but nn extra sum to
make up for the losses upon this “ through traffic.” and
enable the companies to pay their interest and divi
dends.
Tha effect of this policy is too obvious to need repeat
ing here. r
The imllersalor.g the lines of the ereat railroads by
this system have to pay freights for the millers in Ohio.
Indiana. Illinois, who not only get tbeir flour to
market at lower rates than their competitors in Penn
sylvania. New Wk. and Maryland, but. being nearer
the great grain producing regions, have the additional
advantage of obtaining the gram at less coat than in the
older Statoi. This advantage, thna don bled by the rail
road action, tend* directly to drive capital and enter
prise from the old States into the new ones, and in the
end to destroy the very local trade which naturally sup
plies the greater part of tho income of the railroads
themselves.
But the evil does not New England manu
facturers, with arencios in New York, are enabled to
deliver their goods in the’Western cities at lessfrcirbt
than, the manufacturer or merchant in Philadelphia,
who is nt feast a hundred miles less distant from them,
and who oueht to have the benefit of his geographical
position. There is acnin the direct tendency of pecuni
ary benefit to capitalist* to remove from Philadelphia
with there manufacturing enterprises, and locate them
in the East, where they may get the fullest advantage
from this mad railroad competition.
This is no fancy sketch. The alternative of remmal
orrutn has been brought hoflw to scores of man in the
interior of our State, who have been thus driven to re
moval..* It ianow coining home tothe tnenofonrown
city; the very onus who, tp suhionbinz to ihis verv
Central Railroad Co., in many cases, even embarrassed
themselves to secure the advantages that it was hoped
would flow from direct railroad communication with
the West. Perhaps the most incomprehensible part of
all this matter is. the way in which the directorsof the
company look tamely on and seethe trade of the city
*«dd to New York nd the Yankees, bj a system of
management that in the end is certain to iteggaral Ve
the company that persists in it. and its feoH customers.
Private remonstrances against the suicidal policy have
iKicn m»de repeated!)’, but in vain. liiqtime that an
account woe cepiaaded by gqpiqqf the ni{irc»eotatives
