GRERNBA CK REDEMPHON. (From the Anglo-American Times.) There is no country that manages to give a fuller expression to opinions on any passing question than the United States. But it is in the nature of such expression to be in a measure delusive ; for those most interested, even when a small minority, make their voices most loudly heard. We are not able as yet fully to realize the true strength of the current now running in favour of "Greenback Redemption," and its corollary, " Expansion." The facts are that, depression having followed as a consequence on the inflation and waste of war, people feeling hurt, cry aloud for relief. A tight money-market, stagnation in trade, burdensome taxation to make good the vast expenditure, press at the very time that old channels of commerce have bean dried up. It need not surprise, that men should try to shake off the weight which bears most heavily, that crude and unreflecting ideas of finance should be enunciated, and mislead the ignorant and unscrupulous. In that portion of the country where the stringency is greatest, the origin of the agitation may lie looked for and afterwards its strength. In the Eastern States there is a glut of money, and interest rules lower than has been known for many years ; but in the West money is difficult to procure and commands high terms. It was in the West, that the people most benefited by the war inflation, and it is there that the subsequent depression is most felt. Judg ing from conventions, from platform speeches, and from the principles enunciated by the popular can didates, we might conclude that a vast majority of the Western people are in favour of greenback re demption, and that the expansion theory, is only held in alesser degree. SHERMAN'S bill is a proof that leaders in the United States recognize the overwhelm ing strength of the torrent. In effect he says—" We re commend you, the bondholders, to divert the tide by accepting a compromise; a square opposition will bring its full force upon you, and you will be swept away altogether. Sacrifice a little, and you may thus save the great bulk of your investment." It is not the reduction of the interest from 6 to 5 per cent. with the guarantee on the face of the new Bond that it will be paid in gold which alarms the cre ditors of the United States ; it is the broken faith of those on whose honour they must wholly rely— the beginning of the end—the crevasse in the em bankment ! The question is—Does the Govern ment offer any better security for the five per cent. than for the six ?—that is, in surrendering a por tian of their claim, are the bondholders to get an equivalent ? If not, the matter is not one, of com promise, but of coercion, for compromise is a settle ment by mutual concession. If it be coercion, who can tell where that coercion is to stop ? We all know that the man who can frighten another out of a portion of his rights seldom rests content till he has frightened his victim out of all—his suc cess being his incentive, and the very surrender on 4he part of the other that other's reason for a fur ther concession. 'What holds of individuals, holds of corporations and of nations. The bondholders, though not guaranteed repayment in gold on the face of their Bonds when issued, which in the igno rance of Legal-Tender notes was then thought imma terial, were in all other ways thus guaranteed by the authorized Ministers of the nation, by their agents, as well as by the clear statements of the Represen tatives and Senators who introduced and supported the loan bill. If advantage can be taken of an omis sion on which to ground a compromise forcing a concession from the creditors under a threat of using the omission against them, what is to prevent similar action in the future? The Govern ment will have committed an act, which, to say the least, is questionable ; those who lose character as a rule desire to get an equivalent for the loss, and the odds therefore are in favour of a further attack'on the bondholders. They can never afterwards consider themselves safe; for any depression in trade will end in their being mulcted. It is then advisable for the creditors to make a strenuous stand against the first step, and it is worth while considering what chances they have of prevailing in such a struggle. In the first place, they have the benefit of a moral right. Hear what a former Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means publicly said on the floor of the House at the finks of contracting the debt—" A dollar in a miser's safe, unproductive, is a sore disturbance. Where could they invest it ? In United States loans at six per cent., redeemable in gold in twenty years—the best and most valuable permanent in vestment that could be desired. . . But widows and orphans are interested, and in tears lest their estates should be badly invested. I pity no one who has money invested in United States Bonds, payable in gold in twenty years, with interest, and pet:hi-annually," It dote not leo= the force of our argument that this man should now be in favour of greenback redemption. The loan was advertized with the approval of the Government as repayable in gold, and successive Treasury Ministers pronounced the matter to be beyond controversy. The moral right is so clear as to be almost indisputable, but the real strength of the bondholders in opposition to any tampering with the debt, lies in the consequences likely to follow. Let us balance the probable gain with the probable losses to the nation of enforcing such a bill as Senator SHERMAN'S. One per cent. would make an annual reduction in the interest of two and a half millions a year, and that would be the outside profit to the country. Now the question is, at what price would this be purchased ? Credit is the strength of a civilized nation ; in peace , enabling it to develope the national reeonrces ; and in war, to uphold the national interest, honour, and independence. Although a mere name —it is the most potent influence. Without it, a civil iz nation sinks into bankruptcy; alike powerless to foster industry, or to protect its citizens. Money is the sinews of modern warfare. On it, is built and maintained the only efficient fleets, and they cannot be built and maintained by any other means. By money, armies are equipped and supported in the field, and although the material may be supplied by patriotism, trained and effective forces can only be obtained by money. Without it a country can have no fleet, and her armies must degenerate into lawless mobs. Credit alone can supply the Govern ment with money when needed ; there is no other means except forced contributions, the poor and desperate resort of a degraded despotism, which commences a struggle, by making enemies of its own people. Au injury to credit, therefore, is the most fatal a State can sustain, yet. it is the injury the greatest of all countries, proposes to inflict on itself. This is the first strong point of the credi tors. The next hits more directly at the people. Suppose the bondholders refused to accept the re duction, the alternative then is payment in green backs at par. The market price in the United States is now 10 premium ; and the immediate effect must be to strike that off, and, in common with the Five-Twenties, to depreciate all Govern ment securities. A loss would immediately be sustained sufficient to produce a violent panic, and dislocate the whole trade of the nation, and that would be followed by consequences the reverse of what these agitators intended. Western produce " hogs and breadstuffs," instead of rising to infla tion prices, would become a drug, and among the heaviest sufferers would be the West. Nor could the Government redeem the Bonds except by a fresh issue of greenbacks, which would be adding fuel to the fire of the crisis, as well as to the national dis credit. This is the second point in favour of the creditors. The United States is the greatest pro ducer of the precious metals. It is a palpable folly for a producer systematically to depreciate his own productions. Even were it possible to make the world believe that paper was better than coin, the great Re public is the last country to lead in such a revolution. The heavy losses to the United States from the failure of Southern staples can alone be made good by the increasing mining development of the Pacific States. Having expended millions in destroying the industries of the South, is the Republic simul taneously to impair its credit and lessen the value of the exports, on which it must rely for repairing the waste ? If the citizens of the Atlantic and Middle States insist on depreciating the products of those of the Pacific, they will generate an indignant opposition which will go far to create a split. California adheres to specie payments, and has steadily set her face against paper theories. This is the third strong point of the creditors. The fourth is even more purely a domestic question. Four-fifths of the Bonds being held in the United States, almost the whole weight of any measure of Repudiation falls on its citizens. If the Government is coerced into robbing HARRY to give Tom relief, it will merely rob the most industrious, the most patriotic of its people, who helped the country in its time of trial, to aid those who did nob do so. It will reward loyalty with repudiation, and a generous confidence with a barefaced robbery. Why should the country do this ? A. certain portion of its citizens would be mulcted for the benefit of another portion, the national gain by the one class being exactly balanced (minus the portion held abroad) by the national loss to the other class ; that is, Uncle SAM will take the money out of one pocket and put itjnto the other, and call that a fine financial operation. Putting aside such c onsiderations as Uncle SAM being thought a cheat, and losing a large amount of his power of financing in the future, this would be the only result. But people are not ruined or heavily mulcted with impunity. The benefit to the others will be so slight as to be scarcely felt; the loss to the victims so great and direct, as, when realized, to call forth a loud cry of indignation and rage. Thus the bond holders being of the community, each man able to make his neighbour feel, ought to lose no time in doing so, that the neighbours, having a foretaste of what they will get on repudiation, may know at least one of its drawbacks before they are committed to the measure. These are but the more obvious ob jections on which the bondholders may rely in the struggle. If they gird up their loins in defence they will soon see how strong is their position—one only to be successfully carried, by a loss to the at tacking party, out of all proportion to his gain, and an assault which no general in his senses would make if he fully understood the sacrifices it would entail. Therefore it is clearly the policy of the bondholders to take every possible means of letting the threatening force know that they will defend their position to the fast, and at a cost to the be siegers, too heavy to be incurred, if in their senses, and with their eyes open. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

But, if I may judge from what has taken place in my own neighbourhood; the amount of income tax collected up to the 31st -t.f March is no test at all of the real produce of the year just expired. It is well known how anxiously Govern ments used to exert themselves to get in every farthing of revenue that could be collected on the very last day of each quarter, in order that the quarterly, and still more the annual statements might exhibit the most favourable aspect possible. So far, however, is this course from having been taken on the present occasion, that neither I, nor, I believe, any person in this district, have yet been called upon for any income tax whatever on the year just expired, repeated inquiries at the collector's office having been met by the answer that he had not yet received the papers from the Income Tax Commissioners. It is not likely that this district is single in being thus dealt with. Is there a desire, not, as usual, to make the returns appear favourable, but to make them appear unfavourable, in order to obtain a readier acquiescence in additional taxation ? At all events, it 12 fair to conclude that the apparent failing off in the pro ductiveness of the income tax is in part, if not wholly, a fallacious appearance, caused by the omission to collect the tax before the financial year had expired ?" THE TVEATIIER DURING MARCH. The past month was remarkable for its mild and dry weather and high temperature—rather a contrast to last year, when we were visited by easterly winds for 23 days. This year the wind was not easterly from the llth of January till the 27th of the month. The greatest height of the barometer occurred on the 29th, it reading on that day, at 9 a.m., 30 . 612 in. (barometer corrected for temperature, and reduced to mean sea level). The lowest was on the Bth, at 9 a.m., when it stood. at 29'103 in., corrected and reduced). 2be mean atmospheric pressure was 29 . 9Q0in. (corrected and 'reduced), it being o'23oin. in excess of the corresponding month of last year, and 0.063 in. above the average mean of the last six years ending 1866. The greatest heat (in the shade) was on the 31st, 59'0 deg. being registered on that date. The greatest degree of cold occurred on the 25th, when the thermometer was at 29'3 deg. The greatest diurnal range was on the 31st, the maximum temperature being 59'0 deg., and the minimum 33'8 deg., shewing a range of 2G deg. The mean temperature was 44'3 deg., 2'6 deg. above the average mean of the last six years ending 1866. The mean temperature of the dew-point (taken from two diurnal observations) was 39 . 4 deg. Assuming saturation at 100, as deduced from Mr. Glaisher's tables, third edition, the mean degree of • humidity (also taken from two diurnal observations) was 83 deg., exactly the same average mean of the last six years ending 1866. Frost was registered on two nights. The greatest fall rain occurred on the 25th, on which day o'4lin. was registered. The rainfall, which ex tended over eighteen days, was 112 inches, it being 213 inches below the corresponding month of last year. The total rainfall for the last three months was 6'oo inches, and the corresponding month of last year 7'07 inches. The prevailing winds during the month were the equatorial winds, which are from S. to W. inclusive. The greatest force of wind during the 24 hours was on the sth, from W.N.W., 13i1b. pressure being registered on the square foot; and the accumulated force of wind was from W.S. W., 8441 b. on the square foot. The polar winds were equal to 441 b. to the square foot. The transitions to polar winds were equal to 17211 b. The equatorial winds were equal to 251i1b., and the transitions to equatorial were only equal to 21b. The amount of horizontal movement of the air. shown by Robinson's cup anemometer, during the past month was 6,032 miles, at the rate of 1971 miles in the 24 hours, equal to a continued pressure of 51oz. on the square foot. RAILWAYS AND THE PUBLIC. A paper on the question " How to make railways remunerative to the shareholders, beneficial to the public, and profitable to the State," has been read at the Society of Arts by Mr. Raphael Brandon. Mr. Webster, Q.C., occu pied the chair. Mr. Brandon's proposal is that Govern ment should.avail itself of the power it possesses, and unite the whole of the railways under one general management, so that they should become a recognised branch of the public service, available for the whole population —a passenger being enabled to travel one journey of any distance in one given direction at a sum little more than nominal. He supposes that the numbers at present tra velling would be increased sixfold if they could travel one journey of any distanCe in one direction for the sum of threepence, which is the minimum sum he has based his calculations upon. Existing fares under the proposed minimum prices may remain as at present ; they are comparatively • few, and would not affect the calcu lations. He finds that during the year ending 1865, passenger trains to the number of 3,448,509 ran over 71,206,818 miles, carried 251,959,862 passengers, and produced £14,724,802 ; this gives an average of nearly 21 miles and 73 passengers for each train, that is about 3} passengers for each mile, the average fare paid by each pas senger being ls. 2d. Six times the number of passengers could be carried for a very small (if any) additional expense, and if a universal fare of 2d. was charged for any distance for each person, at a very moderate computation six times the present number would travel, and would produce £18,896,989, being 1;4,172,187 in excess of the present receipts. This calculation is made supposing that each person pays only a 3d. fare ; but as it would be necessary to divide the passengers into different classes, a much larger receipt may be reckoned upon ; for this pur pose he would divide the traffic first in half, supposing that half the passengers would travel by single fares, and these he would sub-divide into three classes as follows : at one shilling for first class, sixpence for second class, three pence for third class. The other half he considers would take yearly tickets, which would be issued fur first and second class passengers at £25 and £l5 each respectively, giving the holders the privilege of travelling any distance in any direction, in carriages provided expressly for their use. With respect to goods traffic., he has not thought fit to enter into any calculations. lioubtless it would increase, but he does not think it at all likely to increase in the same proportion as the passenger traffic. For the Government to take up the railways no money would be needed; each shareholder would receive in return for his shares Government railway stock, bearing interest at 4 2-sths per cent., guaranteed by the State. The idea of carrying a passenger from London to Edinburgh for 3d. may be said to be preposterous, but we must remember that it was not until Sir Rowland Hill had shewn its feasibility that anyone thought it reasonable to take is letter from London to Edinburgh for the same charge as from London to Richmond. It may be said that the analogy does not exist, that the half-ounce of a letter is nothing, but that a passenger is really heavy, and makes some difference in the cost of running a train. In reply, he says that the delivery of a letter is the most expen sive part of its cost to the Post Office, whereas a pas senger takes himself away ; that the average oe trains run could each carry six times as many passengers as are now conveyed by them, and though the expense might be slightly increased, the increase could be but extremely small, while the receipts would be enormously augmented. The public would speedily reap the advantages of a com plete and harmonious system of management, with regular and continuous trains running in all directions, and a general diminution of expense ; trade would be benefited enormously by the increased facilities of traffic, while the effect upon the money market of at once converting £453,000,000 of sunk capital into readily convertible securities would be a stimulus of enormous value to the country. NEW ACT ON PUBLIC DEPARTMENTS.—By an Act of Parliament, which has received the Royal Assent, fees and other casual receipts, which from ancient usage, &c., have been received by persons holding public offices under the Crown, are now to be paid into the Exchequer to the credit of the Consolidated Fund. • A. deputation from the Royal Agricultural Society, consisting of Lord Walsingham, Lord Bridport, Lord Chesham, Colonel Kingscote, M.P., Mr. Torr, Mr. Randall, and Mr. Hall Dare (secretary), has waited upon the Prince of Wales with the request that his Royal Highness would act as president of the society during the ensuing year, to which the Prince consented. The Duke of Richmond (president) was u navoidably prevented from accompanying the deputation. REDUCTION OF WAGES IN THE IRON TRADE.— On 'Wednesday the colliery proprietors of South Stafford shire held a meeting at the Swan Hotel, Wolverhampton, to consider the course to be pursued now that the Iron masters' Association have resolved to reduce the price of finished iron, and the rate of wages of the ironworkers. The district embraced by tile meeting is what is known as the thin-coal, as distinguished from the thick-coal district (chiefly in East Worcestershire), and that is mainly de pendent upon the iron trade. On other occasions when a rise or fall has taken place in iron and wages, there has been a corresponding movement in the thin-coal business, the change being a rise or fall, as the case may be, of 3d. a day in the miners' wages. This practice has been observed in the course which the meeting pursued, for it was re solved " That the wages of colliers and miners be reduced 'kJ_ a &Tr.') —By it is have ;tern The i 3 to the :om- I RST has and hed. pro ry— nent very :lent. ex- ?rest )rdcr ag a )ft co [art- Lem - - any, )om- Vler be- )tion 311 is local ams. ,mg ith -13 a run md. the 25. 9.
