EASY ENOUGH.

An old friend, who is bittensby the Imitation
mania, sets us this problem:
"In Canada specie payment has not been suspended,
nor wages increased On this side suffering to
the very utmost from superabundance Of irrsdeema6
paper and yet to the amazemcnt Of the advocates of
metallic basis the laborers of Canada flock to this side
to receive our high wages in paper rather than 10 re-
main in Canada to work for their specie basis low rates
of wages Why is thiss Would not Resumption
here put stop TO this emigration from Canadaf fso
is that to be labored for,'
Ansmer-If our friend will only rccur to the
history of Laws Mississippi scheme, he will find
that, while it was in operation, "laborers
nocked" from Hard Money regions to Paris
faster than they now flock from Canada to oul
side of the line. And, if rum spring should
suddenly burst from the base OF the Allegheny
mountains, we have no doubt that "laborers'
(and others) would "Aock" to that also. They
" flocked" TO this country in 1885 and 1886;
but that did mt prevent the collapse OF 1887
Running in debt always makes good times,
just as getting drunk increases vital action; but
payday and getting sober, though unpleasant
arc inevitable. We hold it advisable for a peO
pie not to run in debt and for an individual moi
to got drunk. And our high wages and high
prices prove that We as g people are running il
debt and ,cM nun in debt, 80 long as our Cur
rency Initiation shall continue. We move thai
we get out of it and avoid the else inevitable

A BAD "FHX.v

Judge Poland of Vermont has submitted to
the Senate bill to FIX" the salaries OF Dis
trict Judges of tho United States, by paying
henceforth seven Of them $1,000 each and the
residue $4,000. At a rough guess. we should
say that this bill will fix" the taxpayers to
the tune of $1,000 extra per annum; but it
may be nearer 100000.
We most earnestly protest against its passage.
1t involves needless and unjust increase OF
the public burdens at time when they are
already heavier than are or ever were borne by
any other Thirty Millions of people on earth.
Adding our State and Municipal to our
National taxes, and they amount to not
a penny less than $50 each per annum for
the whole American People. one-cighth OF
whom have just emerged, ignorant and PENN.
less, from the prison house Of Slavery, while
another eighth have been fesrfully impoverished
by the raysges of o desolating Civil War. 1t is
monstrous that, at such q crisis, 80 many should
be contriving to saddle them with new and
heavier burdens.
We will concede that s. 900 would not be too
high salary for the Judge of this District;
though We never heard any one express an APP
prehension that either Judge Belts or his family
was likely TO come to want from his holding on
to his Judgeship for its present emoluments.
But, accept this as a standard, and we will
prove BY it that Judge Polands compensations
for Judges are Aagrantly exorbtant. We will
take his own State to illustrate this truth. A
Judge can live better and more generously on
So, 900 in Vermont than on 5000 in this City;
while the services to be performed here are at
least ten times those Of the District Judge in
Vermont Why, then, should -, 900 be paid to
the latter
We rccollect hearing An eminent U. s. Senator
and good lawyer from Connecticut say. fifteen
or sixteen years ago, that he would rather have
the u. s. District Judgeship for Connecticut than
any other Office in tho State; yet its salary was
but 81 200 year. But it was life otice-a
post Of honor and distinction-one involving
very moderate labor and no pecuniary response
bility-so he was entirely right in deeming it
the most desirable post in the State.
Whenever a bill proposes to fix or
regulate" or "equalize salaries or emolu-
ments, we always understand that the People
are marked out for an extra sweat. We respect
fully ask Mr.. WaShburne Of Illinois to see that
this bill does not 60 through the House without
a call OF the Yeas and Nays.

this port of New-York were officially valued at
1924, 742, 4l9. That the actual market value Of
these goods was over Three Hundred Millions
of Dollars, we think no one acquainted with
Custom-House valuations will deny. Most
certainly, considering that these goods were in
good part imported on foreign account and sold
at large profit, there can be no doubt that
they cost our people considerably more than
that amount.
During the two first months Of the present
year, the Imports at this emporium would
seem, from the incomplete data before us, to be
fret id those Of the corresponding months OF
last year. This may be more than the final re-
turns will show; but the increase is very great.
We know that the Textile Fabrics imported this
year are valued at S32, SCI, 379 against 5000,
325 last ycar-an increase of more than fye-fold.
In Fancy Goods, Copper and Steel. it is some
what less; in Fish, Hides. Wines, Spices, &C.,
it is more than fve-fod.
The fabrics of Wool Silk, Cotton, Flax, &C..
imported in the first two months of 1866 are
fully equal to those imported during the CORES
ponding two months of 1863 1864, and 1865,
added together.
These are startling facts. Their cause is
two-fold:
!. An inflated Currency, which increases the
inevitable money cost Of everything produced
in this country.
2. Inadequate Import Duties considering
that our Domestic Manufactures are taxed not
only in their products but on every element Of
their production-the aggregate often amount
ing to more than the duty on their imported
rivals.
In this statement, we take no account OF
Smuggling, which is unquestionably prosecuted
to far greater extent than in former years.
Whatever this excess amounts to is TO be added
to the enormous increase of our Imports indi-
Gated above.
Unless we are willing to drift heedessly and
swiftly into National Bankruptcy. this must be
stopped. The means are direct and simple
vis.
l. Resume Specie Payments forthwith.
g Take the Excise taxes off our Home Manu-.
features so far as possible.
3. Judiciously but efficiently increase the
duties on Imports.

RAILROAD FARES.

Judge Selden of Rochester has submitted "a
the Assembly a bill which proposes tha; the
Central Railroad shall hereafter be allowed Il
charge its passengers per mile,
When carried over Ia and ~ miles per hour
when carried 90 and not 2j miles per hour
When carried 30 miles per hour. cts
We think the bill should provide that when they
undertake TO carry 80 miles or over per hour and
fail TO do so, they should refund at least the ex'
cess over two cents per mile. Speed is often
important, but punctuslty is no less 80.
No one will suspect that Judge Selden has SUBJ
mitted this bill under any other impulse than a
conviction that what be proposes is just and
right And now, if the Central will keep its
agents Of all sorts-secret as well as open-away
from Albany, and let the Legislature act upon
the subject unimportuned and unbored, We have
no doubt that justice will be done, and the bill
passed if inquiry and evidence shall prove that
it ought to. Should another course BIO taken, its
defeat is inevitable.
The principle of graduation Of fare according
to speed is sound and just. 1t is not right to
uikt ptiSScHHcio 40 Pci iiIic ioi hhb
them at the rate of 90 as at that of 30 miles per
hour; for the cost, in wear and tear, breakage,
and motive power, must be far the greater at
the higher speed. On the railroads of Great
Britain, this truth is recognized, enforced by
law, and respected. There are many persons
who want to be conveyed from this city to
Buffalo (450 miles) in Is hours, and who are
willing to pay whatever it may be worth for
such celebrity. There are Others who would prefer
to give to the journey more hours and less
money. 1t is not right to carry the former at
the expense of the latter, nor to compel tho
latter to pay for speed that they do not desire.
Ultimately, we trust, all our Railroads will estab.
lish at least two widely different rates of speed,
allowing their passengers to choose between
them, and charging them accordingly.
The justice Of allowing an increase Of fare on
the Central Is purely a question Of fact. We
leave it to those before whom the facts, pro and
con, will of course be laid.

No class of people in this country has such an
