All business opcrOD3 depend for their success upon the condition of the agricultural resources of a country, aod as these vary from favorable to unfavorable, bo are the various Industries which they support pros perous and uuprosperous. A good crop Is almost certain assurance of ft" prosperous !usinifn year a bad crop means more or :S9 business depression. The crop is some thing more lhau a mercantile barometer, It lis more accurately the business weather for the year lhau the barometer does the ualutal weather for the day. There Is au absuluteness aliout Its prophecy which Is moii' like the thermometer. It can lie trust- 1 fur more implicitly than the whole signal rvice bme.ui. Taking the crop as thu criterion fortius year's hmmiesa prospects, it is saldom that the country has enjoyed a more promisim outlook. It is certain that our supply of bicidstufTs wdl be enormous ; It Is equally 1 1 ul n that there will be a large demand for neadstulTs abroad. Consequently our exports 111 be large.and the market will not be over stocked. The New York Commercial Bullc n ol August 11th estimates that we shall ave a wheat crop of from 570,000,000 to k:,4OO,000 bushels, and this estimate is no extravagant, although most calculations at ve at a slightly lower estimate. According to all Indications the huropean ropof breadstnfTswillnot bo even au average one. '1 hey have sutiercd far more than ours from destructive rains and frosts, and the un favorableuess of the early part of the season Is not likely to be atoned for by favorable eatherat the end of Summer and begiir ing of Autumn. The climate of Europe is es stable thau ours; we have always a very good Autumn, while in Europe the Au tuniu Is notoriously the worst season of the year. According to the latest leports from hng' land, there wereln that country but JJ.C41.041 ac res under w heat and all Great Brit ain had but Uj,soy acres to 2,442,334 acres under barley and 2,001, 275 under cuts. According to the Loudon Times of August, wheat was "below the average," and "in many places it will be verv considerably below the average "the ears, as a rule, are not more thau half devel- ined." The French situation is similar, the xpcclation that the wheal crop would pro duce oue hundred million hectoliters having been reduced from tlvc to teu per cent by the weather, while the country will need fronj 10 to Wi million hee-tolilcrs, and looks to this country for the difference, for the sup position Isthat Germany, Switzerland and uMria will consume nearly the entire sur plus of Hungary, K-mmania and Itussia, 'lie future supply of India aud Egypt is ex. icmely doubtful, although It Is worthy of note that in the ear ended March 31, 1882, East India exporlcd wheat worth 7,170,000 England, l-Vancc aud Belgium. This being the condition of affairs in Eng land and on the continent, it K safe assert that Europe will be glad to take our wheat, from twohundred million bushels up. ward. i'V the same' reasons, we shall be able to expott the larger part of our corn at d prices. The beatings which these fact iave upon our National prosperity and the consi-quent business picbpcnty of the coun try will further appear w lieu we take into ac count the fact of our being able iu this way to discharge the European debt which we inclined last eir on account of our heavy imports of foreign merchandise. We (an pay for our imports in coods, und our fund- d debt in Europe Is comparatively email, There is no doubt that profits "on American cxpoi ts this year will Imj enormous, and that with judicious management we mayfindour- selvis at the end of the year not only out of debt but with n fair showtn' of credit on our side. THE CA.MfeS l. MAIM: The election Iu Maine, September lllh, will to the first Mute election of the ear possessing any National interest. Rhode Iblaud held her election away back in April Oregon in June, and Alabama August 7th and Arkansas will vote September 4th and our own State September 5th ; but from obious reasons none of these have any Is a- ional significance. With Maine, however, the case Is different ; and although it hae been shown that her vote is not essentially necessary to a Republican success In the Nation, as witness the memorable cam. paign of lbSO, the result, neverthe less, wilt to awaited with great and general interest. It is of interest, Indeed, oulMile of tiie State not only because it will ie tuken as showing the dtift of public sentl men!, but because some very Important pub ic positions are to to filled. The Governor, cvecutive council aud the Legislature are I ie e hosen for two years. Besides these, the It legation in Congress, which consistsof four members, are to bo elected on a general tick t because the Governor did not call the Leg slature together in extta session for the pur pose of redistricling the State under the new apportionment. The Legislature to to chos en In September will have the election of Lnited States Senator in place of Senator r rye, whose term expires on March 4lh next. and the Govemor will have the appointing of five memtorsof the Supreme Court. Tli Houd'of Representatives is now so evenly divided that the choice of Congressmen Is vety inipoitaut matter, and the fame is true as to the Senate. The candidates for Gove nor are, the present lucumbent, Governor riaisted, who has been put In nomination li the Fusion party, consisting of Democrat aud Greenbackers ; aud the Republican rtorn inee, Colonel Frederick Roble, who is de scribed as a man of high intellectual attain ments and )f wide experience In the aiTaii of bis State, The Congressional candidates are the present Republican Representatives, Reed and Dtngley, with two new men, Hou telle and Mlllikcu. The Fusion candidates are Murch and Ladd, renominated, and tw new men, Dane and Thing. Air. Reeet and Mr. Dingley have made exceedingly credita. ble records in the House j while on the other hand Messrs. Murch and Ladd have dlsiin gulshed themselyes only by the'r Ignorance and deinagoguc-ry. The campaign is already very lively and will to exceedinnlv llvelv as it uroirresse The Republicans arc making au aggressive and vigorous canvass, and a host of their tost speakers, beaded by Mr, Blaine, will soon take the stump. The Republican pa pers give cheering accounts of the situation and promise the country a rousing lctory and we hope the prophecies will be urified. The Greenbackers constitute a potent factor iu tho politics of the State, and what with them and tho Democrats and tho Fusionlsts aud the Republicans, affairs are decidedly complicated. But the outlook 1b at present very favorable, and It will be more so election day approaches. louog men who contemplate marriage will regret to learn that the price of "parlor malchea" has advauccd. fix. The man who got up that joke must have sulphured tcirlbly, "(;REK.M4CK'' PARTY WITH (.RKK.V B11KIS1I LEFT 01 T. The noticeable thing about the platform put forth by (lieiVcrmont GreenbaclcState ivcnllon nt Walcrbury, the olhet day, is its virtual abandonment of the fundamental principle of Grpeyjuaekism. That principle, every reader known, is that there is no eel of any 8 ee-le b-isls for currency, aud consequently no turd of solid money ( that the "Hat" of the Government makes a paper lollar u dollar ( and that the Government ihould make all the paper doliats that are anled nr can to useil, by anyliody and everybody. ThU fundamental portion seems have been delibeiately abandoned by the ermont Grecnbackers. The resolution of thtir platform In which they indicate In de tail th lr financial creid, is iu follows : i.'rWicf, 'Hint we favor the prompt payment of inuney for th National banW eiirrctief , and the e- Mlfilie ilt'til.

Iu other word-, the Greenback party of tlds State is no longer Greenback parly. As regards financial faith its members join the ranks of the solid- money masses of other parties. The other financial eiuirks of their declaration such as the substitution ot untaxed Government cap iUl for the large capital of the National bunks, which now bears its share of taxa tion ; the abandonment of the existing strong, sound aud safe bank tvU-im for a return to the old Insecure and annoing Stale bank system, which would necessat'dy to adopted If the National banks were wiped out make no sufficient foundatiou for a separate party. The Vermont Gnrnbackeia choose to call themselves a siparate party, and as this Is a free country they aie nt perfect hlx rty to do but their party Is nothing but a name, They ate solid-money Greenbackers which Is a contradiction in terms. imKtKt ivr TAULt: briefs.

While' the Jumbo ctaze still lingers, it may be interesting to our readers to know what took place when tlie mammoth Britisher first Introduced to ids American cousins : Eighteen elephants of various sizes were led into the ting, and ranged in a line on the south side.

When the elephants siw the huge mountain of tiesh, swaying from side to side, coming down the track, there was a momeutary thrill of surprise along the line. One or two of the voumrest elephants gave audible evidence of their agitation, 'lhcy were emtcKiy frownetl down by the older oues, and tho whole party put on a most dignified and serene appearance. As Jumbo passed along be was greeted with uplifted trunks. He returned the salute anil fhook trunks with the party In a friendly, but rather bored manner. After exchanging civilities with Jumbo, an elephant would run his trunk along the monster's back. One Ill-bred little elephant not used to good scciety gavo his tall a pull just as he got past, and then looked Innocent and appeared to be searchiug ror peanuts In the sawdust. There wns no si in of fear nmont: the ele- nhants. and Jumbo seemed to consider the wlioie tmug "an awnu nore, you know, un- in tie came to me e et uauiiue aamwi. nuuy.

The candidates lately prominent lor the Republicau nomination for Governor of New York have been Governor Cornell, Mr. Wndsworth, "half-breed," now a member of Congress, Secretary Folgeror some other Representative of the "stalwart," or adminis tration faction. Governor Cornell's chances sccmctl much the bct, for he hia made au Vellent chief magistrate and has gained a very large aud influential boeiyof supporters. Mr. Conkling was opposed to hint, however, from reasons growing out of the famous Senatorial struggle, but he finally waived his ibjec'dons ami consented not to oppose his renomiuatieu. But a few days ago the Al ia ny Journal, which has been friendly to Mr. Wadsworth and not hostile to Governor Cornell, made a statement to the efTect that attempts had been made by Jay Gould or bis agents, Mr. Conkling, hia counsel, being in volved by implication In the business, to bribe Govtruor Cornell to sign the elevatcel railroad tax bill, which the Governor, however, refused to sign, and that iu coLseipience of this Mr. Conkling had re-considered his purpose uot to oppose Cornell's re- nomination, and was now animated by an Implacable hostility to him. The gravameu of the charge is that Mr. Conkling attempted to intluencethe Governor by offer ing him a bribs In shares of Elevated railroad stock, as a consideration for signing a bill re lieving that company of a tax amounting to over a quarter of a million of dollars, lo vent his spite against Governor Cornell, so the story goes, Mr. Conkling went over, bag and baggage, to Mr. Wadsworth, although ihe latter Is one of the leading "half-breeds' and has long been one of the ex-Senator's principal opponents. This move of Mr. Cotikliug's peemed almost or quite enough to urn the scale against Governor Cornell, who :ias no strength to spare, but jiw. at this point the New York TcW look a hand in. U had heretofore favored Mr. Wadsworth ; but It said that though Governor Cornell's conduct has not been In all respects satisfactory, he has, on the whole, discharged the duties of his oillce uprightly and wisely, aud that if he is to be persecuted and proscribed for one of the mofct lighteous and salutary acts of nil ministration, ull good citizen bliuuld rally to hlsdefeucc. Tho Timet sustains the charge of attempted britory brought by the Albany Journal against Mr. Conkling, and says that be committed the act at the bidding of Jay Gould, to whom the ex-Senator slamls iu the relation of man to master. The Timet says: Jav Gould may care less for hunuliatliur Governor Cornell lhau for demon st rutin g to future u over ii or b oi cuncr pany inai no nas the power to punish as well as to purchase, But, in either case, no moto dangerous move has ever been made toward thecblablUhment in this State ofadespot'.smsustalncdby unlini' itcel wealth and endless possibilities of cor porate robtorv thau Is Involved in the work wmcii is now peing done uy uoscoei.

The immediate question for Republicans to determine is not, therefore, wuetuer the rcnominoiion of uov. crnor Cornell be cxicdlcnt, but whether the parly can afford to have its State nominations settled in advance ot the convention by the joint influence of Jay Gould anel Roscou Conkling. As the autocratic dispenser of the Federal putronage of New York, Senator Conkling was a sufilclently dangerous foe to freedom of speech or action In the party rani-s ; us me saianeti ugem oi a siock gam bler who cares as little for political nrincinli as he does for moral restraint, Mr, Conkling Clays a part wutc ii is, indeed, more Ignoble ut in which he can Inflict more serious dam age on the party, over whoso machinery has not ceased to have a decided Influence. Such talk as this Is certainly not lacking lu plainness; aud the course of the Time can not fail ef materially contributing Governor Cornell's Blrcngth. Indeed, seems to more than maintain his lead along, and to an outsider his renoiutuallon appears almost certain. A maniu Lyuu.
