manner the prevailing distress The de.
preciated paper pervaded every man bus

day labor, so paid, or could he avoid loss
in the exchange of medium which, with
out intrinsic value, seemed to depend upon
the whim of the moment To the bitter.
ness OF that experience is due the consti.
tutlonal inhibition to States to omit paper
money. What the fnanciers of the Rev.
olntlon thought Of paper is well expressed
in the great report of Alexander Hamilton
upon National Bank in 1890.
Paper emissions are so liable to abuse
and il may be affirmed so certain to be
abused-that the wisdom of the Govern.
ment will be shown in never trusting itself
with the use Of so seducing and dangerous
an expedient dose. In times of great
and trying emergencies, there is almost
moral certainty of its becoming mischev.

PROBABLE CHANGE.

A igorous effort is being made by prom
inent, and influential Eastern capitalists,
to effect the removal Of Cameron and
Wells from the Cabinet. The peculations
of the one and the ineficiency Of the other
have become 80 notorious that the country
would hail such a change with JOY. Jus
tiee to those who are fighting our battles
as well as to those who are furnishing
the sinews of war; seems to require
this much from the Administration.
Latest advices indicate that such q
change is not i'm probable.

Inc issue OF paper money is not new
feature in our Government 1t has been
tried several times, and always with the
same results, viz great national distress
and individual suffering. The several
Colonies had each q long experience in
the evils and benefits Of paper money,
emitted to meet Government eXigcnces,
and they made unitcdly their final expert.
ment with it when, as a Confederation, they
resisted the encroachments Of the Crown.
When that war commenced the Colonies
were without external commerce or in.
;ernal resources, and were compelled to
depend upon themselves for those article,
OF consumption, as well as for war sup.
plies, that they had formerly derived only
from the mother country. During u con.
test Of seven years their commerce and
shipping were annihilated, and public and
private credit were destroyed. The cost
Of the war, as nearly as could be ascer-
tanned, was $l3j, 1913, 1OS, of which about
one-haIt was paid by taxes levied and col
lected during the war. The remainder,
due from the States collectively and indi-
vidualIy, constituted the debt which was
funded on the return of peace, on certain
terms. During the operation of the loans
and taxes, the Treasury made advance in
paper money, called Continental" which
began a. par, but speedily deprecated, and
continued TO do so until it became value
less. The following is statement of the

"FREE SPEECH AND FIR ZEE
PRESS.

Many acts that would have been severe.
ly criticised and condemned in times of
peace are now not only tolerated, but even
by many approved. This is owing to the
change in our political condition. 1t be-
comes the people to watch with jealous
eye their political rights aud liberties afr.
med in the Declaration Of Independence,
and protected by the letter and spirit of
the Constitution. In years agone we have
been indulgent as government and
people, and permitted the press and ind-
viduals to indulge in language calculated
to excite opposition to the government,
and kindle the flames of civil war, because
free discussion in all things has ever been
with US cardinal principle. This gov
eminent is founded in the will of the PEG.
pie and must, as a general rule, be admin,
istered in accordance with public opinion,
and all our efforts to improve and strength
en- the government will be useless unless
we at the same time elevate ana educate
public sentiment. You cannot coerce or
imprison public opinion. As the opinion
Of the masses are so will it be, and wheth.
er favorable or unfavorable we must bow
to it. Nor under government like ours
where the individual idea is every mans
prerogative, can We by compulsion, conis.
cation or dungeons, make public senti-
ment unanimous. After making free
speech and free press its rallying cry for
years we are surprised to find the party in
power Selling newspapers and taking pos
session of printing offices, as was the case
recently in Philadelphia. We regret such
a course, because it will weaken the Union
cause. JEFrERsoN's idea that error is
harmless when reason is left free to COM
bat it, is a good one. Has not the Gov.
eminent reason, right and law upon its
side? If there is peculation and rascalty
practiced in any department of the Gov
ernment why sh ,uld this not be exposed
just as fearlessly now as in times of pro-
found peace?
A few journals in the North oppose the
war. 1t is desirable to have unanimity
upon this war question. But how can it
be done. Certainly not by giving the
press over to Marshals or mobs. Destroy
a mans press and drive him from his
office and you at once make him martyr
to his opinion. You thereby give to him
and his sentiments an importance, which
in all probability they would not otherwise
possess. The man who for the sake of
his opinion will sacrifice his life or prop
erty, will always to great extent receive
the sympathy and respect of his fellow
men. Journals that oppose the war find
men who desire to read them, who think
and sympathize with them. If the Ad
mnistration would destroy the influence
of such papers, let it FIRST destroy that de-
sire and sympathy in their readers This
can be done only by such course Of
action as will clearly demonstrate that
the Administration is honestly aud truly
endeavoring to maintain the integrity of
the Government and restore our former
union and prosperity. With a just cause
and an honest administration-and an
intelligent, loyal people there is no neces-
sity for enslaving the press or prohibiting
free speech.
