THE ExTRima HEAT—I’OLITICAL—-TEB CEN-
TBNNIAL—PILL MBN—TEA—BUBNING or
CASTLE GARDEN.
' New You, July 20th, 1876.
The heated season bu been the most severe
th'aTbas been known in the city fop eighty
years. The thermometer has gone to 104,
and stayed there for days, taking occasional
excursions down the scale to 93, and at mid-
night or later, down to 85. Of course there
are days as hot every year, but to have them
routinue four weeks, without cessation or
let up, is something unprecedented. Every
morning there has been a column or more of
casualties, of men falling in the street, of
horses lying down and dying, and of children
perishing in their stifling garrets. If it was:
terrible for the residents of roomy and spa-
cious houses up—town, what must it have been
for those compelled to occupy garrets, with.
out air or ventilation, and subjected to the
stifling smells of the tenement houses ? These
people suffered all the tortures of the damned
and thousands of them died. The mortality
among children has been dreadful and its ex.
tent will never be known;
It was nothing uncommon during the three
weeks past to see strong men stagger in the
street and fall prostrate—“drunk." some
would say, but the policemen knew better.-
It was sunstroke; and the ambulance? pro-
vided by the city would drive up and carry
the sufferer of to the hospital provided for the
purpose. Of the cases of sunstroke, one-half
die and very few ever recover their health in
full. The city medical authorities have given
the most minute directions for avoiding this
:rrible casualty, but yet not a half or very
.ew observe them. A wet cloth in the crown
of the hat is a certain and sure preventive,
but nevertheless not. one in ten take this slin-
plc precaution.
' POLITICAL.
No matter how much Democratic papers
howl about it, or how much they may assert
to the contrary, Tilden will not receive the
undivided support of the Democratic Party
of this city and State. He bought the nom-
ination with money which he swindled Out
of the people in his railroad schemes, but he
has not enough to buy the election. The
leaders of Tammany will give him a support,
for he has already divided up the offices
among them, and has partitioned out the
spoils; but there be members of Tammany,
and Democrats who are not members of
Tammany, who cannot be bought or driven,
and John Kelly is having trouble with them.
There are thousands in open revolt, and
§ thousands more will follow them. By the
" way, speaking of this “Reformer,” it isa fact
that the Brooklyn ring, a more dangerous
one than Tammany even, went en masse to
St. Louis, and contributed of the money they
had stolen of the people of Brooklyn to the
funds that nominated “slippery Sam." I
want this fact remembered, that the Brooklyn
ring—the most unscrupulous, dangerous,
shameless, and altogether had set of political
theives and plunderers the country was ever
cursed with—were, all and singular, in favor
of Tilden’s nomination, and are today his
chosen and trusted counsellors in the cam-
paign. This is a matter that ought to’ be
known, as showing how much the “reform"
planks in the Democratic platform really
mean. ‘
Gov. Hayes’ letter of acceptance gives the
liveliest satisfaction to the Republicans and
the better class of Democrats. As a Demo-
crat said to me the other day- “It has the
ring of true metal; and I know him well
enough to know that he means it all, and
will carry out all he says. I shall vote for
him.” That letter, with its manly utterance,
and the well-known character of the man for
doing as he says, will make Hayes hundreds
of thousands of votes. It is an incouraging
symptom, that in every ward of New York
and Brooklyn, Republicans are organizing in.
to Hayes and Wheeler clubs, and this with—
out the interference of office-holders, or those
who are pleased to consider themselves “lead-
ers." The people are moving to the support
of the Cincinnati ticket spontaneously and
they will elect it as certain as fate.
Tm: CENTENNIAL,
despite the terrible heart, is attracting greater
crowds than ever. The attendance is steadi-
ly on the increase,.and the interest increases
day by day. The departments are now all
perfected, all the articles that will be in the
show are there, and you can now see all that
there will be to see. The verdict of the peo-
ple who have attended all the. world exposi-
tions is that this is as much superior to Vien-
na as Vienna was superior to Paris?in short,
that it is infinitely beyond anything the
world ever saw, or probably will see for a
hundred years to come. The best machinery
of the world is there, the best art of the
world is to be seen there, and, in the matter
of the curious and rare in laces, embroideri‘es,
etc., no such collection has ever been made.
It is curious to see the crowds of women
about these departments, and to hear their
comments. In the English department there
are a pair of napkins—not towels, as a fash-
ion writer in a New York paper said—the
thread in which was spun and the cloth wo-
ven and the embroidery done by Queen Vic-
toria. I cannot say as to whether the nap-
kins are superior to any one else’s; but, as
they are entirely the work of royalty, I sup-
pose they must be. The Queen has also on
exhibition anumber of paintings by herself
and daughters, which are really good, royalty
or no royalty. The time to come to the Gen-
tennial is now. The heated term is well nigh
,over, and you have now room to see what is
to be seen, and there is as much to be seen
now as there will be at any time. Fares are
down, the landlords are now civil and rea-
sonable, which will not be the case when the
rush commences in September; and you can‘
_ keep cool in Philadelphia if you will observe
:1 common prudence and the ordinary rules for
living. Come and come now. '
Tait PILL Max.
There is something the matter with the
pill men. Hembold, the Buchu man, is still
in an insane asylum, and now James C. Ayer,
the manufacturer and proprietor of cherry
pectoral and a dozen other proprietary med-
icines has gone insane and is an inmate of a
private asylum near New York. He made
his escape the other day, and got into the
city, and conducted himself so like a sane
that is, he borrowed money—that his friends
did not know that he was, insane till his phy-
sicians got on his track and brought him
back. His insanity was caused by over~worl<.
For thirty years he has made and pushed nos-
trums, for the sole purpose of making money.
He made millions, but it all did him no
good. He attempted to get recognition as a
public man, but the fact that he had made
his money in pills was against him, and he
was compelled to give way to men who,
probably were no better than himself. His
friends, as were those of HelmbOld, were of
a class of toadies who were willing to eat his
dinners, and so finds himself at an advanced
age, with-millions of mony and nothing else.
And the worry of all is, that he has nothing
to‘ spend his money for, and with a body and
mind over tasked in the getting of it, 'with
nothing under Heaven to do with it, he goes
mad, and will doubtless end his days in an
asylum.
Money is a good thing, but you want to be
careful how you get it. . Don't make it out
of pills or pectoral. Swindle the people as a
railer lawyer, and when you get to middle
life you may be as lucky as Tilden is, and be
nominated by the Democracy for the presi-
dency.
Tm: Tn MARKET.
The depreciation in the prices Of goods is
shown as much in such articles as tea as
anything. There hundreds of houses in the
city that have made immense fortunes in tea
and coffee, but they have been very indus-
triously losing their accumulations in the
last four years. There has been a steady de-
prselafioninthe value of this staple, until
at the present time it is a long way below the
war prices. In 1859, the price of the
at wholesale. In ’72, it got up tO 73s., but
today his a drug in the market at 30. And
the other grades are in the same state Of
health, and the market shows every tendency
toward a still further decline. Where it
will end, the oldest tea-merchant can’t tell.
The United States consumes a pound of ten
per annum for every man, woman and child,
making the annual importation about 55,000,
000 lbs. Those who hadjstocks on hand
when the decline set in, have gone into bank-
ruptcy, and the new houses and the old ones
that were strong enough to hold out, are
shaking for fear of a decline that will
shake them. ‘ '
And by the way, the decline is as marked
in other lines of goods, as in teas. A suit of
clothes that cost before the war 5340, can be
had in New York now for that money, pro
vided it is of American cloth, and if it is im-
ported, all the difference is the addition of
the premium on gold, which at this time
makes very little difference. Provisions,
and everything that we eat and drink are
downto ante war prices, and if the people
can’t live now, they never Will; that is to
say, if they have the money to pay for what
they consume. A few.articles of luxury keep
uprbut these will come down in a little
While. The bars, restaurants and hotels main-
tain war prices, but they will not be able to
do so long. The topers are growling, and
new men are taking advantage of the feeling
to start new places at cheaper rates. Let us
get work plenty once more, and the “good
old times ' will be here agaiil.
Ax OLD LAND-MARK GONE.
The burning of Caste Garden is an event
that makes all old New Yorkers sad. There
is no building in the city, around which so
many memories cling or more pleasant ones.
Built originally for a fort, it was, many years
ago, made unnecessary for that purpose, by
the building of fortifications outside. Then
it became a place of fashionable entertain-
ments. It was in Castle Garden that Jenny
Lind first sang in New York—it was the
scene Of all the gramfiialls and entertain-
ments given by the city, and it may be safe-
ly said that the old building had seen more
fair women and brave men than any other on,
the continent. But twenty years ago ~fash-
ionable New York began to move up-town,
and the territory in the vicinity of the bat-
tery was given up to trade. Old Stephen
Whitney, the projector of the Pacific Rail-
road, refused to move with the rest of his
neighbors, and he died in his house on Bow-
ling Green, years aftcr he was completely
surrounded with business. Then Castle Gar-
den was turned into a depot for incoming
emigrants, and its old character was gone for-
ever. Its burning brings up pleasant memo-
ries-to those who were young twenty-five
years ago, but to the New-Yorker of to-day
it is simply the destruction of an unsightly
old building which they hope will be re- '
placed with a better one. PIETRO.
THE FINANCIAL ISSUE.
The financial issue will be one of the most
prominent in this political campaign, and the
stand which the two parties have taken upon
it is in direct antagonism. The Cincinnati
convention adopted a platform which can
fairly be interpreted only as a hard money
platform. The Resumption Act of 1875,
while only aprdmise to return to specie pay-
ment in 1879, is'one step in-thc right direction;
and the prublican policy is clearly defined
by the declaration made at Cincinnati in fa-
vor of “ continuous and steady steps” until
the end is reached. The convention, after
making known to the country and the world
the policy of the Republican party upon the
financial question placed in nomination
Rutherford B. Hayes and William A. Wheel-
er, both Of whom are, and have..been from
the beginning, unqualifiedly hard money
men. ‘
The St. Louis Convention placed the Dem-
ocratic party in the position of a man trying
to ride two horses going in Opposite direc-
tions. Demanding the immediate repeal of
the Resumption Act, the convention proceed-
ed to denounce the Republican party for not
sooner providing a sound currency; nominat-
ing Hendricks in the interests of inflation,
and Tilden in the interest of contraction;
making the platform and nominations .with
the deliberate intention of catching votes;
like the pedlar’s suspenders, “long enough
for any man and short enough for any boy."
The head and tail of the ticket are notoriously
at variance. The Democratic oratcrs and
newspapers in the eastern States interpret
the St. Louis platform as being in favor of
hard money, and point to Gov. Tilden in
support of their interpretation, .whilc the
spokesmen and the papers of the party South
and West, see only an avowal of their favor-
itc rag-baby theory, and point triumphantly.
to Gov. Hendricks and the demand for the
repeal of the Resumption Act. We should
say that the tail has the best of the argu-
ment, and will most unmercifnlly “ wag the
dog.”
There is no dodging the fact that the Dem-
ocratic party is the soft money party of the
country. No fair interpretation Of their
platform can lead to any other conclusion.-
It is said that Gov. Hendricks will base his
acceptance upon the compliance of the Dem-
ocratic House of Representatives in repeal-
ing the Resumption Act as demanded by the
party platform. Those who style themselves
hard money Democrats claim the the Resump-
tion Act is a “ hindcrance'" to the return
to a sound currency; but Gov. Hendricks
does not so understand its operation. In a
short speech made from the balcony of a
hotel in Indianapolis, the other day, he said:
“.There is but one other thought that I will
express to you, that the resumption clause of
the Act of 1875 shall be repealed, and the re-
peal of that clause carries with it every feat-
ure of the law which is bringing about the
contractions so hurtful to the interests of the
country." This is a frank and honest ex-
pression of the views entertained by the Vice
Presidential candidate, and we commend
them to the serious consideration of every
intelligent voter. I
The Democratic party has placed itself in
open hostility to every honest step towards
resumption. The cry of Tilden and hard
money in New York and New England
States, is only a piece of political trickery
which, by this same Presidential candidate,
has been reduced to a science, and, we re-
gret to say, successfully employed. . There
was a time when the Democratic party held to
certain principals, and claimed, with some
show of reason, to be honest in its convict-
ions; but that time has long passed. There
is no longer a National Democratic party
save in name. It is shameless and hopeless
bankrupt, forsaking all principles and disre-
garding all traditions. This party, like a pack
of hungry wolves, are eager for spoils. Upon
this question there is unity of sentiment,
North, South, East, and West, and to gain
this Object- of their desire no trick or artifice
will be left untried.
Let no man.who believes in a sound cur-
rency be deceived by this cry of Tilden and
hard money. The platform upon which Mr.
Tilden was nominated is essentially an in-
flation platform, and it is safe to say that this
interpretation, as given by Gov. Hendricks,
is accepted by the voters of at least two-thirds
of the States which next- November will be
carried for the ticket. Whatever Mr Tilden’s
views may be upon this financial question is
of no consequence. Awillow in the rapids
[of Niagara would not be more powerless.—
