TIE Puget Sound Weekly Courier OF
August 30th, almost month before the
present panic, described the condition OF
Northern Pacific very succinctly in the
following paragraph
Millions of dollars which belonged OF
right TO the railroad, and in common
honesty should have been devoted to the
prosecution of the work, have been seized
upon and applied to the private use of the
directors. Large sums of money, borrowed
upon the credit Of the Immigrant, have
been used up in private speculation; in
buying up railroad companies, now bank
rupt, and in building towns in which the
railroad company have not dollar interest,
direct or remote, and at points which
never can acquire more than speculative
value. BY these dishonest and corrupt
proceedings, the credit of the railroad
company is utterly destroyed, its finances
bankrupt, and the grand project intended
by the munilicent grant utterly defeated,
only to be resuscitated under other and
more honest auspices in the remote future.
Is it any excuse for this combination of
cormorants and thieves, that they had right
to do as they pleased with their own?

A POLITICAL party without any prin-
cipcs is an anomaly in the worlds his
tory. The general impression of all po-
litical writer's of any note has been that
political parties grop-that they spring
up from the germs of implanted
principles, and assume such dimen-
sions and strength, numerical and
otherwise, as their vital character and
directive force admits of as possible in the
way of development and growth. The
full-grown oak is no more complete than
its embryonic parts in the acorn, even
after it has withstood the shocks and
blasts of centuries.
And so it is with healthful political or
CARNATIONS. They take their form and
substance from the growth Of the germinal
principles they espouse, and if they have
no such principles, they can have no such
thing as permanent growth and develop
ment. The mushroom may spring up from
the miasmal presence of hate and general
race prejudice, but no great and com
handing party can expect to grow
on such an element, any more than the oak
can spring up and flourish in Serbonian
bog. The Conservative party openly
processes its entire abnegation- and want of
principle. Itsinks all such vital elements
out of sight, and plants itself down upon
saurian hates and animoSities. which have
no place but in system of
life peculiarly reptile in its character. 1t
is not difficult to predict the fate of such a
party, any more than 1t is to determine
what will become of the most inorganic and
unlashIoned of mushrooms, which spring
up in night, end scarcely survive, with
out decomposition, the first touch of sun
light that comes in with the day.

tho people some inkling of where these
available assets have gone to. The one
is now Governor in fact, and the other
would be Governor by proxy-that is, by
the election Of Kemper-and it may not be
out of place in the people of the state
to PROFOUND some inquiry as to
the present whereabouts of these assets.
If they have been squandered, or reck-
lessly donated away to railroad monopolies,
a little honest inquiry into the matter will
beno detriment to the people. 1t will only
hurt those whose fingers have been dirticd
by corrupt disposition of the peoples
assets.
In the meantime, let all our tax-paying
voters rejoice at the proud elevation to
which our state has been lifted by Uonserv-
alive fnanciering, stealing and grabbing,
in the last four years.

FINANCIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Elghty-two years ago the first Bank of
the United States was originated by Alex
ander Hamilton. In 1916 it was char
tered anew. For forty years this old
bank gave us a uniform currency, con-
vertible at all times into coin, without
any suspension of specie payments. The
Democratic party hunted down this in
stitution in 1881, and subsequently gave
us the Sub-Treasury. Since then we
have been, under the old state banks and
our present national banking system, quite
one-third of the time in suspension. Can
no oae discover a financial nut to crack
under this statement of facts?
Let the government set its wits to work
to devise something besides our present
National Bank system and Legal Tender
currency. 1t is getting more and more
manifest every day that we can never touch
financial bottom under this absurd dual
system-one that ignores convertible basis
and locks up over two hundred millions of
currency, in legal tenders and bank re-
serves, against financial crash of the pres.
ent disastrous magnitude. Who wonders
that while we have currency of the least
intrinsic value Of any in the world, we have
one that is the dearest Of all to borrowers?
We refuse to utilize this idle money,
locked upin the Treasury and as reserves
in the banks, when not one dollar of it can
be used to redeem an outstanding obllga-
ton either of the government or of the
national banks. Was there ever financial
faulty exceeding this
Here we are, government of over forty
millions of people, with an entire pro-
peiity in 1870 of $30,068, 519, 507, and
producing that year alone from lands, manu-
features, mines, ana fisheries, exclusive OF
whale tisheries) a total value in products OF
G,843,559, GIG, talking about the amDoSsi.
b,lfy ofretsu7,ing to specie payments All
this is sheer nonsense. We must come
down to a ha,dpan bottom, and have a
currency that will circulate on par with
coin, if we would find relief for our
present financial embarrassments. Paper
balio0nng without any coin ballast has been
tried about long enough. The further
experiment had better be abandoned along
with that of The Graphic.
The lesson of the panic is easy enough Of
solution to those who read our columns and
agree with us that our present system Of
finance is radically false in principle, and
dangerous at all times to the public pros
perity. Relief is to be found only in a
radical overthrow Of the present system OF
money monopoly. Money cannot be safely
placed in the hands Of any one man or cor
poration, with power to limit or to extend
its issue. Only the people themselves are
the safe repositories Of this discretion. Let
them take this power and exercise it by
making money accessible to all upon equal
terms.

WHILE the English people are pite-
ously bewailing the fact that the control
of the iron trade of the world is begin
ing to slip from their grasp, in conse-
quence of the remarkable progress which
the United States is making in this great
industry under our policy OF protection,
our own free-trade journals insist that the
proper plan for American iron-workers to
pursue, in order to improve to their
utmost opportunity, is to reverse the
legislation of the last twelve years, and
Instead of continuing protection, to intro
duce free-tradc. This would be killing
the goose that laid the golden eggs, and
transferring the control of the non mar
ket-that Of America as well os Europe
to the grasp of the British producers,
who would seek to hold it more oppres-
sively than ever.
Our prime duty is to nurse this great
national industry to the fullest extent pos
sible. If our tariff thinkers can be kept
from carrying out their mischievous de-
signs, and our manufacturers are insured a
home market until they are strong enough
to be independent, VIC shall, without doubt,
ultimately find ourselves in a position to
cope with England, if not efectually to
master her. 1t will necessarily be some
time, however, before the capital and lacili-
ties of manufacturing requisite to enable
us to do this, have been accumulated.
Revolutions, whether political, social OF
industrial, are not successfully accom-.
plished in moment, and it would be the
height of suicidal folly to sacrifice thu
advantage which the tariff gives, while w
are as yet hardly more than on tn
threshold of successful undertaking. Thu
tariff question is one of the most impor
tant and vital issues of the day, and yet thu
Bourbons of the great iron-ribbed state o
Virginia ignore it, and press the issue o
race prejudice as the all-vital one to ou
prosperity as state. But this party il
ticketed to the wall, and there it will g
with all its pusilanimity and fear of negr'
supremacy on the 4th of November, nov
