VIII There be a Third Party +?

The Presidents message on the civil SER
vice report has materially affected the pros
pect for third political party. 1t was be-
coming obvious that the chief principle Oh
which such party must be built up was
civil service reform. On almost all other
questions, the opponents of the admins
tration were too much divided among
themselves to heartily combine. The
Presidents adherence to the only practic-
able reform programme yet offered, takes
away the capital of the opposition. The
sincerity and heartiness of his adherence
is indeed questioned by some, and bitterly
impugned 10y some. But the general dis
position to take General Grant at his word,
which includes many who had before been
unfriendly, makes it apparent that the
present chance Of a successful new combi-
nation is very small. What dissatisfac-
ton exists against the President is largely
of a personal nature. 1t is such as might
be formidable within the party, if there
were other prominent candidates to unite
on but it is hardly Of kind to coalesce
with the Democratic opposition in form
ing new party. New parties must be
born of principles, and the principle that
can attract such Republicans as Sumner
and Schurz and Greeley into harmony
with the Democracy of the New York
World and the Louisville C0uricr-JOur1l0L
not to speak of the "unreconStructedn
brethren-does not yet appear.--He1ary

How tile Current Runs.

General Grant will be the Republican
candidate for the Presidential succession.
His Overshadowing personal claims, avail
ability and popularity will give him the
nominotion against all corners and all COM
binations. The Democratic leaders and
organs generally confess that he is too
strong for their party as it stands, and that
without considerable reinforcements from
the Republican camp, it will be useless to
fight against Grants reelection.
But still the chances are that, as in 1882,
these discordant opposition elements will
remain divided; or that, as in 1864, the
administration boilers will creep back
again TO the administration camp, and so
give General Grant an easy victory. Con-
sidering the many difficulties which con-
front him, and the mutinous leaders,
cliques and factions of his party, he might
be defeated by coalition of all the hostile
forces; but as such coalition appears inn
possible his reelection seems as plain and
easy as that of Jackson or LincOln.-Neur

The Financial Condition of the Country.

At the annual meeting of the Boston
Board of Trade, last week, a report was
received from the committee appointed to
report on Senator Summers bill regarding
specie payment. They collate some sug-
gestive facts and figures. On the first of
States in active circulation was $3.50, 49,
927. The report reviews the commercial
delirium with its petroleum and other ven
lures, stock and gold gambling, defalca Z
tons, forgeries and breaches of trust. For
all this, "the real culprit," says the report,
"a false measure of value, is still at large"
After the close of the war, October LIST,
1865, the active circulation of the currency
was 81, I'D, 203, 931. The report includes i'll
these amounts the aggregate of bank de-
posts, which, it says, ''being, by means of
checks, the most actively circulating form
of bank currency, should, of course, be in
cluded.n Between 1861 and 1865 the ac-
tive circulation of the country had doubled.
The average of bank circulation, not in

The returns of the National banks indl-
cate rapid expansion of bank credit.
During the past year the deposits have in
creased by the enormous sum of S109, 000,-
600, and the bank loans during the same
time S106, 100000.
s In the judgment of the committee, no
good reason can be given to show that the
country has use for double the amount OF
currency circulating in 1862. The pOpula-
ton has increased about One-third, and it
is not easy to see why the currency should
increase in crater ratio. If it be said (they
argue) that the business and wealth of the
country has largely increased, the reply is
that the country never had more pros
porous decade than from 1850 to 1860, while
the amount Of bank circulation diminish
ed from $500 per head in 1850 to $685. per
head in 1860. In England the bank act of
1914 provided against any increase of paper
circulation, excepting against an equal
amount of specie in bank. Since that
time the wealth and trade of Great Brit
ain have enormously increased, yet there
is no lack of currency.
The committee then examine the prin-
ciples of Mr.. Summers scheme for return
ing to specie payment by the substitution
of Understanding notes for greenbacks,
which it is suppose, would gradually be
withdrawn from circulation, which the
committee approve as sound. 49,
