MN. uopp,,I. nm THE p,sAscr.

The carefully-rrcpared speech delivered In
the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Morrill,, ot Yer
mont, was fill Of interesting facts, and will
well repay ascareful berusal Tho present
condition Of our currency was faithfully de
plcted, together with the evils by which we
are surrounded and they were contrasted
with tho numerous benefits TO he derived
from n return TO specie payments and Its
accompanying actual values. Our present
financial situation was attributed by the
speaker 10 q redundancy Of irredcemable pa
per called money, and that we persist in
making Il the standard OF values. Mr.. Nor
rlli charges that there Is no proper effort Of
legislation made to remedy this state OF
affalrs. And he insists that Congress sh ould
fix time not more remote than January !,
1875, for the resumption Of specie payments.
Senator Morrill, appears to have forgotten
that our paper currency reached iis present
yolnmc during period Of five years, and by
q gradual process. our present appreciated
values may he fictitious, but they are no less
arbitrary. Contracts for real and other prop
eriy made during the last eight years upon
arbitrary, appreciated prices call for q speci-
fed number Of dollars In lawfnl money. An
Immediate return To gold standsrd would
have the effect to deprcciatc values Of 70
and personal property fully thirty.threc and
one third per cent. Tho President docs not
think II fair that all this loss should fall upon
the present holders md involve them in a
common ruin.
IL Ia an easy matter 10 dilute alcohol by
the sudden Infusion Of water; hut lts resto-
ration to its original proof by the process Of
redlstillatlon Is more slow and tedious. So
It Is with q diluted currency. II disturb
ance Of commercial and Industrial values Is
to be avoided by the process Of restoration
to the specie basis, 1t must be accomplished
by gradual and easy approaches. In eight
years there has been q gradual reduction In
the market price of gold Of about one hun
dred and fifty, and yet Mr.. Morrill, says that
we have made no effort to return to gold
standard. The gradual reduction Of the pub
lie debt, and economy Of expenditures by the
administration Of President Grant, has ef-
fcctcd this with but slight disturbance Of
commercial affairs, and II the wise sugges.
tions contained in the Presidents message re-
latlng to the currency are followed by Con-
gress, and an intercst-bcaring postal or other
currency be gradually substituted for the
lcgal.tcndcr, misunderstanding irrcde en-
able notes, there is little doubt that gold and
paper currency will be on par with each
other much sooner than that event can be
brought about by any arbitrary enactment
prescribing fixed date. The latter course
would open up an admirable field for gold
gamblers in which to make corners, and
would doubtless enable them to depreciste
paper currency and Government bonds far
below their intrinsic value. Legislation can
no more by an arbitrary enactment force
people to pay in the gold they cannot obtain
than 1t can make paper equal to gold in valnc
by the same process.

NEEDED REFORDIs,

Among the reforms suggested by the Prcsl-
dent in his message Is q constitutional amend
ment authorizing "the Executive to approve
OF so much Of any measure passing the two
houses Of Congress as his Judgment may die
tate, without approving the whole, the dis
approved portion or portions TO be subjected
TO the same rules as now, TO wit: to be re-
ferred back TO the house In which the meas
ue, or measures, originated, and II passed
by two-third vote of the two houses, then
to become a law without the approval OF the
President" 81 would add to this" says the
President, "a provision that there should be
no legislation by Congress during the last
twcnty-four hours of Its sitting except upon
yetocs, in order TO give the Executive IN op-
portuaity to examine and approve or disap-
prove bills understandlngly.' II Is almost
too much to expect immediate action upon
either of these propositions; but there can be
no doubt that ultimately they will he em-
bodied In the organic law.
The closing hours Of session Of Congress
are fruitful in all manner of jobs. II is the
harvest time of the Lobbyist. In. the hurry
and haste and excitement, the era Of good
feeling that generally prevails, all manner oI
corrupt measures slip through without due
investigation and inquiry. The desire to save
important bills compels honest members to
consent to the passage of ''rlders" to bills
which they know to be wrong, and intended
solely to take money In one shape or an
other ont Of the Treasury. The Executive Is
placed in somewhat the same position. So
great Is the necessity for legislation IN this
direction that the constitutional con-
vcntion Of Pennsylvania adopted clause
almost identical with that suggested
by the President, viz, empowering the Gov
error TO veto any portion Of bill and ap-
prove Of tho balance. There Is very little
danger that power OF this character would
be abused; that il wonld be exercised except
10 the interest Of the publlc. The last forty
eight hours OF legislative session, National
or State, Is generally more dangerous to the
people, and fraught with more evil than the
preceding weeks and months put together,
aud too many checks cannot be imposed upon
both the legislative and executive power.
The passage Of some such law as that sug-
gested by the President would be an excel
lent step In the direction of reform, and Il Is
to bc hoped that the coming Judiciary Com
mittcc Of the Senate or House will at least
report upon the subject.

THR SALARY REDUCTION BILL.

II has been decided by caucus OF the Re-
publican members of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes to report bill going back to the
old compensation of Eve thousand dollars o
year for Congressman. The sooner this -
done the better. In increasing Its colnpen-
satlon Congress made great and grave mis-
take. The whole country is against 1t, and
ii Is idle TO throw the responsibility for the
clamor that has been raised in regard TO Il
upon the newspapers. - political con-
ventions that have been held during
tue last six or eight months took
even more decided ground than the
journals OF either party, and In their plat
FORMS speeches and resolutions were more
outspoken In its denunciation. Predictions
are already made that this action upon the
part OF the caucus" Ia merely intended for
eIect-a seeming Difference to the popular
demand, that II will lie sent through the
House Immediately and killed or lost in the
Senate. II this Is the intention. better let the
whole thing rest where II Is. The country Is
in earnest In this matter, and Ii will not do to
trife with II.
The mechanic, the farmer and the merchant
have made up their minds that five thousand
dollars per annnm Ia enough to pay for upon
an average Ave months work. Values are
shrinking every day; wages arc being re-
duced; real estate is tumbllng from Its fancy
prices; railroad stocks are selling only for
what they arc really worth; the pay Of Con-
grcssmen alone Is upon the advance. There
Is no reason in the world why, In the general
shrinkage Of values, the salaries Of lcgis-
lators alone should expand. The expenses Of
living arc being reduced. Prices arc lower
now than they were year ago, rs o glance
at the market reports will concluslvely show.
But however all this may be, there is one
thing absolutely certain, that the ,Onntry
commands return to the old rate Of com
pcnsatlon to members OF Congress, and the
party In Congress that Is directly rcspon-
siblc to the country Is expected to obey that
command.
