editorial of the Globe of the 3lsi ultimo That art-
Gle gives its views under five heads, as to what
"the opinions Of the London editors 10 the proba-
BILE effects of the system recommended by the Mes
sage for the collection and disbursement of the pub
lie revenue" will tend to produce. II then says that
in all the views 'there is much truth and justice
and "THAT THEY ARE PRECISELY THE RESULTS THAT
OUGHT TO BE DESIRED"
The Globe, it would seem, has found foreign ad-
juncs to aid in carrying out its views and doctrines
Now let us show what the London Morning Chron-
icle says, from which the Globe gives more than
column. From that column, quoted by the Globe we
quote; and its language is clear and distinct. It
cannot be changed by pcrrersioa. In reference to
the recommendations in the Message in favor of the
Sub Treasury scheme, and establishing the Gorera-
menu currency OF gold and silver only, it says that if
Congress acts his (tae Presidents riers THE I'M
mediate consequence riH dOibt be much additional
embarrassment" This, according to the Globe, is
result that sought 10 be desired! Again--It says
will bring the paper system abruptly to close
This is another result desired" by the Globe
Again, tsays, "the policy recommended by the
President will, however, meet with great opposition
The number of public bodies and influential indv-
duals whom 1t will affect is very great and they
will struggle against the ruin with which they are
threatened The President has, no doubt, the law
on his side but rigorous enforcement of it will in
volve the commercial world in great confusion. In
fact every debtor will find himself hardened with a
heavy addition to his membranes and all property
will fall in nominal value"
A measure which will cause a rery great number
Of individuals and public bodies to STRUGGLE AGAINST
THE RUIN WITH WHICH THEY ARE THREATENED"
which will "INvoLvE THE COMMERCIAL WORLD IN
GREAT CONFUSION; and, finally, to cause property to
fall in nominal value; are according to the Globe,
precisely the results that ought to be desIredn'
For the sake of humanity and for the honor of the
American name, trust in God, that there are few
to be found amongst us, who are hardened enough to
utter, much less to advocate ameasure fraught with
so much evil and to be followed to such runous re-
suits as the London Journal QUOTED by the Globe)
says will attend the adoption The recommendation
in the Message to which it refers.
Against measures leading to such devastating and
runons consequences; and against those who advo-.
cate them, we declare open warfare we draw
sword, vowing to fall if do fall, with that in
hand; or never return it to the scabbard until they
are vanquished Which is conservative, which
destructive /; the opinions of the Globe or our own
The London Times exhibits wonderful depth Of
penetration in the following paragraph, quoted by
the Globe.
Speaking of the early DELHI ,rations of the late
Congress, on the vote for printer that print says
"The next step on which parties were measuring
their strength, was on the appointment of printer,
and here the administration party divided among
themselves For Messrs Blair and Rives, printers
of the Government paper, the Globe, l0i members
voted; for Messrs Gales and Seaton, 1903 and for
Mr.. Allen editor and printer Of the Madisoniaa the
new paper started at Washington in the interest and
BY the Joint purse support of the Rives and Wright
section % only.
The profound editor really penetrates deeper into
our purse, than we have yet been able TO feel! We
have not even seen the gold through the "silken
