BoUTWRLL's POLICY.

The Hon. Thomas Ewing, who was il
both Harrison's and Taylor's Cabinets, write
in regard to Boutwell's policy Of paying golt
value for 500 currency bonds, as follows:
"While am writing, the Secretary of the
treasury reports that he has paid off another
two millions of the fve.tweDties. They were'
by the express terms Of The law under which
they were borrowed, payable in legal.tender
notes. lie paid them in legaltender notes,
and added as gratuity four hundred thous,
and dollars--he paid $2,4OO,OOO in currency
for 81, 100000 due in currency. This is
simply plumber, excused by no reasonable
doubt or ambiguity of fact or language.
There should be an end to this. The whisky
rings and oil other rings, official and unoffi-
cial, formed to deiraud the revenue and
plumber the treasury, played at childs play
compared to this. Carried to its utmost re-
suit II WIN rob the nation Of more than seven
hundred millions, principal and interest, il
the next ten years. And it will be so, I'm
less the people by all emphatic vote forbiC
it. The public treasury will be added to thu

1923, studied law and was admitted to the
bar in 1927. He removed to Portland in
1929, and was elected to the legislature in
1881 and again in 1899. Ia the year 1910
he was made Wing member of Congress,
and 1916 again found him in the legislature.
This was repeated in 1853, and in 1854 he
was chosen United States Senator. He was
reelected in 1859, and in 1864 served for a
short time as Secretary of the Treasury.
In March, 1865, he returned to the Senate,

Mr.. Francis Turner Palgrave thus speaks
10 rhyme in the London Spectator:
"What should man desire TO leayep
A blameless work; q Hoble life
Some music harmonized from strife,
Some finished thing, ere the slack hands at eve
Drop, should be his leave.
"one gem Of song, defying age;
A hard-won fight; well-worked farm;

Some tale, as our lost Thaekeray's bright or
cage
As the just Hallams page.

To strike the circle Of his years
A perfect curve through joys and tears,
Leaving pure name TO be known, or not
This is a true mans lot.
He dies; he leaves the deed, or name,
A gift forever to his land.
In trus. to Friendships guardian hand,
Bound 'gainst all adverse shocks 10 keep his
fame, F H4H
Or to the world proclaim.
"But the imperfect thing, or thought
The fervid yesstiness Of youth,
The dubious doubt, the twilighttruh,
The work that for the passing day was wrought
The schemes that came to nought.
"The sketch halfway 'twixt verse and prose
That mocks the finished picture true,
The splnters whence the statue grew,
The scafioldipg meath which the palace rose,
The vague abortivo throes.
| "And crudities OF joy and gloom
In kind oblivion let them be!
Nor has the dead worse foe than he
Who rakes these sweepings OF the artists room
And piles them on his tomb.
"Ah, tits but little that the best,
Frail children of a fleeing hour,
Can leave Of perfect fruit or flower
All, let all else be grsciously supprest
When man lies down to rest !"
