to let the currency and finances alone, except
to provide the. ways and means to carry on
the government and to carry out General
Grants idea Of retrenchment, economy and
the faithful collection of the revenue. The
country win do the rest and restores itself
through the natural course Of things. The
rapid development Of our resources, the in

activity Of the American people. under the
auspices Of peace and the new administration,
viii increase the wealth of the country i'm
mensely every year, and the demand for cur

out special legislation and place the republic
on the high road to unexampled prosperity and
the debt in the way Of liquidation. The less
Congress attempts to do the better, and we
hope the next one will avoid the folly Of this
Congress; for the country, its finances and the
currency will come right through the operation

Congress has spent large portion Of the
session now about to end in all sorts of dnan-
cial patchwork which amounts to little,
and which, from present appearances, will
end In nothing; for the very bill which Mr..
Schcnck, in the House, and Mr.. Sherman, in
the Senate-called bill to strengthen the
public credit-have labored upon SO long and
hard has all at once received heavy blow
from General Butler. The Senate amended
the bill as it went from the House; and when
Mr.. Schenck moved for committee of con-
ference General Butler objected, and when he
moved to suspend the rules for that purpose
Mr.. Spalding, who had the floor, declined TO
yield for that motion; SO the matter went
over. Schenck, feeling annoyed at this,
said livery well; want it understood by
the country that 1t is on the objection OF the
gentleman from Massachusetts that we cannot
get at that BILL" Butler replied :-"And I
want it understood by the country that the
gentleman from Ohio cannot get at that swir-
ding brokers' bill on the objection of the gen.
tleman from Massachusetts,.
We cite this incident TO show the dscordant
views of leaders of the dominant party in Con-
gress, not only on this particular measure,
but on financial questions in general and to
show also the scathing manner In which Gene
raj Butler strikes at the financial policy Of
Schenck, Sherman and the rest OF that wing
OF the party. General Butler is not far out of
Che way in his views Of their policy, which Is
in favor Of the stockholders, bondholders and
the national banks. The whole scope Of the
proposed legislation of such so-called conser-
vatives has been for the benefit Of their special
interests and to increase the burden Of the
trious classes, and all under the spccious plea
Of maintaining the national honor and strength

houses for regulating the finances and currency

evils. Indeed, there Is hardly member Of

who does not believe he has found remedy.
There never was rs much time wasted In a
public body and such mass Of crude and i'm
practicable schemes submitted as In this nov
