tween gold and greenbacks. What was
81 900 before the repeal is increased i'll
value to about Sl,300--so much taken
from the debtor and given to the credi-
tor without reason Or equivalent except
| that the one is rich and the other poor
This same repeal, when it should pro
duce its full effect would make our na-
tionaI debt, including legal tender notes,
row equivalent to 80, 100000, ,00Oin gold,
rise at once in value to S2,965, 100000
and It would at once involve the pay
ment of interest on gold borrowed to
take up our greenback currency, amount
ing, on reasonable estimate, to SIS
000,00 year. This looks like sinking
the ship, and am afraid Of it. 1t were
certainly better to let the laws of trade
regulate tile currency than to hasten
measures iraught with such consequent.

dare not state the rate Of accumula-
tion by compromising the interest now
paid on our bonds, as it would seem in
credible; it would involve an array Of
numbers which, like the figures repre-
senting stellar spaces, makes the head
swim-the mind can not compassit; but
being translated into plain English, it
signifies bankruptcy and ruin. This ac-
cumulation OF interest in long periods
Of time has given rise to frequent out
breaks of popular feeling against usu
rers and those suspected of favoring
them and nations have enacted laws, ,and
courts have been astute to construe laws
so as to guard against its excesses-
The year of jubilee in Israel was institu-
ted to guard against its excessive accu-
mutation and the Jews, tor their habit
of becoming rich on the profits Of capi
tai invested and reinvested were for cen
turies prosecuted, and in their turn plum
dered by every nation in Europe. This
was the wild impulse of barbarous age,
but the other extreme. ought to be avoid
ed and, while the capitalist is protected
in all his rights he is not, in the correct
opinion of mankind, entitled to special
legislative favor. Give him simple JUS
tice, and he will take care of himself, and
steer his way safely through all financial
vicissitudes; and this is all that an in
telligent public will allow him. In Eu
rope, though the accumulation of inter-
est is comparatively slow, families and
firms who pursue it sagaciously and per-
'sistently for a generation or two, become
autocrats--they decide questions of
peace or war,and IN effect rule the world.
Here, in the rapid accumulation of in
terest-especially if the specie PROPOSE
ton prevail-lt will take but few brief
years to make the money power supreme,
and place our free Republic under the
control of Il moneyed aristocracy. 1t is
proposed to encounter these serious
evils, political and social; take largely
from the poor and give to the rich, in
order to escape at once and suddenly
from the evil Of deprecated national
currency. The object to be gained,
though a worthy object, is not worth the
sacrifice.

BoutweI,,s Policy. .

1tcost the government forty-fve mil
lions of dollars to redeem thirty seven
million of bonds, not due for eighteen
years This is what Boutwell, calls max
ing money. Some people think it is in
crcasing the public debt.
Tile Hon. Thomas Ewing, the veteran
statesman of Ohio, in a recent letter thus
refers to this much admired policy Of
Secretary Boutwell,:
"While l am writing the Secretary
Of the Treasury reports that he has
paid off another two millions Of the
twenties. They were, by the ex-
press terms of the law under which they
were borrowed, payable in legal-.ender
notes. He paid them in legal notes, and
added as guaranty four hundred thou
sand dollars--he paid $4,000, 900 in cur
reucy for 100000 due in currency.
This is simple plunder, excused by no
reasonable doubt OF ambiguity Of fact or
language. There should be an end to
this. The whisky rings and all other
rings, official and unofficial formed to
defrail the revenue and plumber, the
Treasury, played at child's play compar
ed with this. Carried to its utmost re-
suits it will rob the Union of more than
seven hundred millions, principal and
interest, in the next ten years. And it
will be so, unless the people by an EN-
phatic vote forbid is 'fhe public treas
.iry will be added to the public Offices to
fill the measure of the spoils; without it
they are quite too small to meet the
pressing wants of the party

Coal Tar for the Bavemepts.

A proposition 10 pending before the
Board of Mayer and Aldermen to deluge
the Nicolson pavement with coal tar.
The City Engineer reported in favor of
trying the experiment, and il was pro-
posed to begin by trying two thousand
barrels, The whole matter was referred
to committee. Hiysy pep spd others
learned long since that coal tar merely
discolors the wood, but does not preserve
it; bsucs its Hse hsS been sssn-
dousd By stssSeosl@sp, Tts tar is
very subtle and rapidly penetrates
through wood. Wheu poured over our
wooden psyensnts 1t will soak through
the blocks and escape between them to
the soil below, aud in q few months moth
ing will be seen to show that il was used
except the stained and decayins woed.
The blocks taken up so far have been
found decaying on the bottom blt meyer
on top. There is no basis or foundation
to hold the tar, and il will run through
aud appear to eyapOrase dOvnward'
in q very short tiwe. No process
has yet been discovered to prevent
the decay of the hicolson pavement,
II it could be kept perfectly dry, It would
doubtless last many years without repair
ing. But for the present We do not see
anything can be done except to keep the
pavement clean and to replace the
blocks yhen they rot away. The coal.
tar experiment would cost the city many
thousand dollars per spnnm, aud would
probably be so much money thrown
away. and nobody would be benefited
except those vhs have tar for sale.
These few facts We hope the Board will
consider.

At this city the river has declined

feet four inches below the high water
mark of 1867. The Ohio is stationary
