Currency Contraction.

Mr.. Buckland, of Ohio, introduced
a bill to amend an act of March 8, 1866
so as to prevent any further withdraw
ing or diminution of legal tender nOtes.
Referred to the Committee on Banking
and Currency Washington Press De-
ispGtch. sst t- .s5
We hope General Buckland, will press
his bill forward, and also add a section
to it requiring the Secretary of the
Treasury to reissue the thirty odd mil
lions of greenbacks which ne has called
in and burned, and to invest the pro-
ceeds in 7-3O bonds; thereby paying off
thirty millions of bonded debt, stopping
81, 25O,000 of annual interest, and at
the same time giving relief to the money
market, and stimulating all classes Of
trade and production into prosperous
activity r-+ O.
What the people desire is not cur
rency contraction, but contraction of
taxation. Every dollar Of greenbacks
withdrawn adds two dollars to the diff
iculty of paying debts, and damages
the business Of the country five dollars.
The banks are already beginning to
contract their circulation, to be prspar-
ed for the stringent times ahead. For
each million Of dollars Of legal-tenders
withdrawn by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, the banks win shortly retire
a million Of their notes, Prudent, eau
tious, far-seeing bankers are sorting the
currency that comes into their hands,
and as fast as they come across their
own notes they carefully pick them ont
and lay them aside, not intending to re-
issue them Thus the double contrac-
ton process has begun. But the peos
pie are not benefited by it. Business is
injured instead of helped confidence is
impaired rather than strengthened; the
revenues of the Government are de-
creased instead ofincreased thereby In
short, the contraction scheme is work
ing evil, both to the prosperity of the
people and the finances of the nation.
Stop currency contraction, and contract
one hundred millions of taxation-that
is what the people want Chtcogo 71i-

X A man in Turkey has been fined
eighty piastFes because his daughters
discarded lover committed suicide. The
Judge reasoned it out very plainly in this
way '1f he, the accused, had-not had
q daughter, the deceased would not
have fallen in love; consequently, he
would not have beea disappointed /; con-
sequenty, he would not have swallowed
poison; consequently, he would not have
died but he, the accused, had daugh-
ter, and the deceased had fallen in love,
and had been disappointed, and had
swallowed poison, and had died."

The Pail Null Gazette says; Lord Fran
els Russell, who was lately fined for i'll
usingzhis horses, has just beer brought
to the bar at Maidenhead for punching
his coachman's head. This time, how
ever, his lordship was acquitted. The
speech in which he addressed the court
in his own defence is worth recording as
a curiosity: Who is the complainant.
in this easel A drunken, foul-mOuthed
groom. He is continually getting
drunk, and has been forgiven times out
of number for the sake-of his wife and
children. His promises of amendment
ark like pie-crust. He had good wages,
lodging, money, kind treatment but
has been drunk four times in three
weeks The Bench held that as the
coachman was drunk his master had
right to thrash him.

not the last of such evenings. Encour-

painful experience of former days, and
good Aunty Brown often called and
gave her word of advice, and, at last,
all went on harmoniously.

He arrived too late; the boat in which
his friends had gone was capsized and
all its occupants drowned. On another
occasion, when tide Surveyor IN the port

than usual, to the great surprise OF those
who were in the habit of observing Ills
