WASHINGTON CRY, Februar,

WASHINGTON Cry, February 10, 1912
After a patient and deliberate consultation, and
the ascertaned wishes of the people from every
ton of our country before them, the Committee on
the Currency have at length reported, and the effect
upon men of all parties here may be imagined by a
comparison with the of a vessel from long
voyage which, with her destined port "just ahead,
runs aground but after great toll, and the aid OF a
favorable breeze, gently gdes off to the high graft
fcaton of all board 1t is generally believed that
the report of the Senate's committee will be drawn
up in kindred spirit and that this vexed question
will be acted upon favorably in both houses of Con-
gress and will doubtless receive the sanction of the
President. Members of Congress now beginning
to understand each other pretty WELL (for the power
of association is almost omnipoent) and having spent
some time in useless and expensive discussions on
politics, and the acceeraton of party movements,
the "sober, second thought" beginning to prevail,
and the signs Of the times indicate more devoted at
tenton to the interests of their constituents, and
greater degree of unanimiy, especially on subjects
which deeply interest every citizen OF these United
States, as that of the currency. Will Messrs Ben
ton and Clay of the Senate, or Messrs Bolts and Ar
mold of the House, persist in their attempts to thwar
the views of the Executive, and embarrass the Go
vernment by attempting to defeat the passage of
bill loudly called for by the honest yeomanry Of
America. Perish the thought

the fires of patriotism not wholly extinct let

The ExcHEQUER.-Wha will be the ultimate fate
of this project it is of impossible to predict
There will be strenuous opposition to it by the party
which is building up in Congress for the purpose Of
making Henry Clay President in 1874. Its adoption
or rejection will probably depend upon the course
which the democratic party opposition prope may
determine to pursue in regard to it. 1t is greatly to
be depored that party prejudces, party schemes and
personal ambition cannot be laid aside upon this sub
jcct. The nation longs for repose from this Perpe-
ual agitation and uncertainty in its financial affairs
The question ought to be promptly and permanently
settled. If Congress will come up to the work IN
spirit of candor, Iberalty and patriotism, seeking
nothing but the lasting welfare of their country and
lhe stability of its Institutions there can be no Difficult
ty in disposng of the matter in way that Will event
ually command the appreciation Of all. One thing is
certain an intense feeling pervades the public mind
and is daily gaining strength in favor of having the
financial policy of the nation Immediately fixed, so

TIE LIQUoR LAW.

Our intelligent board Of Police have
fixed the price OF license for the sale OF
liquor, at $500. This we think too high.
In Warren county, where the law should
effect great good, it is only $3.50, Paya
bic in gold and silver. la Kinds it is
only $3.50. The effort so often made,
10 prevent the sale, and consequently
the use of ardent spirits, has been pro-
ven futile; people ,ciH drink, unawed by
any law or laws that may be passed; and
if vices cannot be put down entirely, pol
icy demands that if any good is in them,
it should De extracted. To do this,it has
been thought revenue could be drawn
from the sale Of liquor; but TO make the
price too high will force the law to de
featitself. The revenue would be great
er at a small amount than SO large one
as $500. If the board at their mex
meeting, provided, in the mean time nt
one pays the license fee) will reduce tn,
fee to about $500, we think the revenu,
will be greater. Many reasons could b.
adduced for this, but we have neithe
time nor space. nor is it deemed neces
sary.

There was rumor, in Vlcksourg'
few DAVIS ago, that Mr.. Tyler had recon-
monded non.intercourse with England
This can hardly be so; news from Wash
;ncton to the 26th ult. has been recei-
we'd. and to that date, nothing of the
bind ;s mentioned. The several qaes- |
tons which have so long excited the two
countries justify the prevalent opinion
that the United States should immediate
~ take bold and decided stand, and de-
fine her position to the world. No mat
ter what excuses and palliatives may be
offered for the insolence of Great Britain
about the "Boundary Line" the burning
of the Caroline, and for the useless and
imprudent energy with which she has
urged the ''right of search," other ques-
tions present themselves which call for
reparaton and adjustment. In the first
place, the rank and uncompromising OPP
position of the British Government to
slavery in every part of the world, and
particularly the relentless vigor with
which the United States has met with
opposition from her in respect to this in
stitution for which we so firmly contend,
which have been so often and so une-
quivocally evinced, call for early action
which will set at rest the right of the
| United States, which, indeed, seems to
be questioned by Great Britain, to con-
tinue holding slaves. The project of
cultivating cotton in India, which has
only been on foot a few years, was and
is certainly intended as a blow at sla-
very in the South. The letter Of Santa
Anna to Gen. Hamilton winks at the ex
istence of an assurance that aid will be
rendered her in case of a war between
Mexico and the United States. The pc
sition of the leading aboliionists at the
North connected as they evidently are
and acting in conjuctlon with the more
INSCRIPTIONS advocates of Ema nci pa
ton and Anal gamation, in England
these, all in conjunction with other facts
which we have not room TO mention, arr
conclusive evidence that a systemati,
attack on slavery in the Southern Uni
ted States is and for long time ha
been making by the most powerful AM
insolent nation Of the earth.
But to crown the whole comes the al
: fair Of the "Creole." Our readers ar
: aware of all the circumstances of thi
g case and those to which we have allude
n above, only incidentally, to show the ne
e cessity, if any should doubt it, of some in
" mediate action which will save the homo
IS Of our country from tarnish and preserv
