HR. ETzWAnr'B RESIGNATION.

The dispatches which announce tie
resignation Of Mr. S'ewar. a. Secretary
OF the Treasury, and It's Acceptance By
the President, vii, be read with deep
regret. Mr. Stewards offer to don !. .e all
the profi's OF his private business, dur
ing the time he might remain In oftloe,
to public charities, was extremely
magp1nImous, and We can scarcely ete,
At this distance, what obstacles should
have tn1crposed to prevent an adjust
mens on this. plan. All the equities
sought to be secured by the act OF
1850 would have been fully satisfied
by such an arrangement, md If there
were any technical difficulties remaining
they might have been, and doubtless
would have been, removed by Congress.
The prohibitions OF the act oi 1859 are,
alter s1L, more apparent than real. At
the time the law WAS passed the only
source OF revenue 10 the government was
the tariff. There was no system OF III
ternA taxation, AID l. was supposed that
by prohibiting the officers OF the Treasury
Dephrtmenti1om being interested in the
importation Of gncds, the whole
Eroucd WAS covered. But since We
hAve adopted an Internal Revenue
EJstem it il impossible toz Secreary OF
the I1eaEnly 10 be without some per-
sonal interest In some Of the workings OF
his department. IT he has 81 iuc3me to
be taxed, OF II he carrier gold watch, OF
USES government stamps, or smokes
cigars, has more than forty ounces of sill
yer plate in his house, he has personal
Interest in the operations of the govern
meo', which be is specially charged to
supervise. Hence it is impossible 10 find
anybody to tske tbs Office OF Secretary
who is 1ot obnoxious to the spirit Of the
law Of 1889. The objection TO repeating
the act hiss its force rather In The exam
pie which 1t would set than
in any facts which csn be alleged in the
case of Mr.. Stewart. His proposal to
suspend his mercantile connection during
the time he Should remAin 1t the head Of
the department wAa an ample obeisance
to the spirit and letter of the law, and it
ought to hare been acceptable 10 every
body.
The Washington gossfps are very
yearly unanimous ii assigning the NOW
vacant Office OF Secretary ot the Treasury
to Mr.. Boutwell, To make room

THE aRERHBACK FALLACY.

In the Benato OF the United States, In
the debate Oh 6cheuck's bill 1eaf1rmtng
the national obligation to pay the MS
tionaf debt in coin, except in caseu where
the law creating the debt provides for
redemption In currency. ~ In the case OF
the Pacific Railway bonds, Mr, Hen
bricks. OF IrdiAua, uhda speech. In
that speech be revived the Pcndleton.
ian scheme Of irredeemable greenbacks,
and, IS q reputation organ says. his the
"b,!l telling blow" when he declared
that it proposed 10 increase the banded
debt SIX hundred millions Of dDlla1s."
When that bill was first proposed gold
was worth 1856 in greenbscks, and tho
latter was worth "A cents aud fraction
on the dollar. Under the improvement
given to the public credit by the favorable
votes upon that bill, gold declined to 1870
and greenbscks advanced to T0:ss,
or net advance Of q! cents
on tho dollar. There are $685.
100000 Of currency in the hands Of
the people, and ,hh advance has added
over $17, 100000 to the value OF that cut-
rency. Andrew johnson pocketed the
bill, AnG for the time defeated 1t. This
effect and object OF the bill Was to ele-
vate the national credit towards par,
until the greenback WAS worth Its face IN
gold. When that Is done, the currency
now In the hands Of the people will be
worth to them twenty-five per cent more
than 1t WAS when the 8chenck bill was
proposed.
Mr. Hendricks argues that If the green.
backs be kept below par, sud arc usei to
pay the debt, that every cent Of the de-
| p1ec1auon Is cent saved to the people
No greater ta1(Rcy WAS ever advocated
To issue grecnbacks od lioisum and f1ll
the haLas OF the people With currency
worth ten cents on the dollar, takes the
amount Of the depreciation secretly from
the hands OF The people. To reduce the
value of the currency ten cents on the
dollar Is to take $65, 900, 900 from the peo
pie who hold that currency, and fol
which they have given their labor and
their substance, To push of upon
the people $4,000 .o0o,oo0 Of greenbRck!
for their labor and property, and have
the notes fali In value to twenty cents OF
the dollar, would be no relief to the people
because to make good the deficiency the
public debt would have to be increased
10 the extent Of the deficiency, md in ths
end the people would have 70 be taxed tt
redeem three OF four thousand milliong o
dollars Of notes in gold, In lieu Of th
two thousand millions OF bonds Tht
moment the United States credit Il id,
vanced 10 par, As it can only be done b,
an honest pledge to pay the debt, the gov
e1nment will be able to borrow Eha
; money tt needs att low rate Of interest
and retire the present debt With III
! national credit at par, the Unttcd State
may then Issue greeubacks to the people
without rohhing them.
