THE NATIONAL CREDIT.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From, the Chicago Tribune.
That the credit Of our Government
Cow stands higher than atany time be-
foresincethe opening Of the late War is
evident from the reception Of the new
3 per cent. loan. The syndicate failed
to dispose of the entire amount. and
Secretary Bristow lately invited bids
for the remaining $179,000,000. The
response is gratifying. The aggregate
amount asked for, according to the
terms of the law, is $75,000,000, and
beside this . direct proposal has been
made for the entire s179,000,000, to
Do taken 1t once and paid for in gold.
Though the Government is debarred
from accepting this proposition by the
Inv which forbids an increase of the
public debt, and which therefore re-
quires the retirement of old bonds as
new ones are issued, it is none the less
\ most Aattering expression Of the
confidence reposed in the integrity of
che American people BY the moneyed
class. It will be observed that the
Indiana greenback Democrats are
wholly without honor or respect out
eide their own State. They cannot
even produce 4 good scare.

ARBITRATION,

The resolution passed by the House
of Representatives, counselling nations
to try arbitrament before resorting to
war, was, like the similar votes of the
English and Italian parliaments, ex-
cellent in aim, though it may prove
empty in result. If an invalid express
sion Of opinion, at least it was an ex-
preston Of the right opinion; and it
is something to have the will, even
without the way. England, Italy,
and America would probably fight
each other as quickly after these soft
words as before; but the clear enun-
citation of principle is never waste.
Besides, in these days Of prodigious
budgets, every European nation must
welcome any substitute for huge arm
les, while to Americans their Geneva
victory seems ground enough for the
resolve Of Congress. Regard France
end Germany, England and Russia,
Italy and Austria, piling up against
each other fortress upon fortress, army
ON army, fleet on Aeet-their peace
establishments! It would be q god
send for mankind to find 9 remedy,
not against wars, but against the need
Of guarding against warlike surprises.
Wars may conceivsbly break out
eom time to time so long as human
nature remains as it is; but arbitra-
tion would bear noble fruit even in
delaying the resort to arms. The suit
might end in war after all, but the
roundabout process would be a gain {;
for, could there habitually be time
enough assured for raising forces end
material after the quarrel arises, the
need ofkeeping enormous armies al
ways afoot would be diminished.-The
Gula1y for august.

THE STRUGGLE FOR WEALTH.

No one can settle down in Euro
pean city or village for a month, and
observe the laboring classes, without
noticing great difference between
their aspirations, ambitions and habits,
and those Of corresponding classes in
this country. He may see great poverty
in a continental town, and men and
women laboring severely and faring
meanly, and q hopeless gap existing
between classes; he may see the poor
virtually the slaves of the rich; but
he will witness measure of content
ment and daily participation in
humble pleasures to which bis eyes
have been strangers at home. There
is sad side to this pleasant picture.
Much Of this apparent contentment
and enjoyment undoubtedly come from
the hopelessness of the struggle for
anything better. An impossible gulf
exists between them and the educat-
ed and aristocractic classes gulf
which they have recognized from
their birth; and, having recognized
this, they have recognized their own
limitations, and sdapted themselves to
them. Seeing just what they can do
and cannot do, they very nationally
undertake to get out of life just what
their condition renders attainable.
There is no far-off, browning good for
them to aim at, so they try to get
what they can on the way. They
make much Of tste-days, and social
gatherings, and music, and do what
they can to sweeten their daily toll,
which they know must be continued
while the power to labor lasts.
In America it is very different. A
humble backwoodsman sits in the
presidential chair, or did sit there but
recently; tailor takes the highest
honors of the nation; canal driver
becomes powerful millionaire; a
humble clerk grows into q merchant
prince, absorbing the labor and sup
plying the wants of tens of thousands.
In city, state and national politics,
hundreds and thousands may be
counted Of those who, by enterprise,
and selfculture, and selfassertion,
have raised themselves from the hum
blest positions to influence and place.
There is no impossible gulf between
the low and the high. Every man
holds the ballot, and, therefore, every
man is person of political power
and Importance. The ways of bust
ness enterprise are many, and the re-
wards Of success are munifcent. Not
year, nor, indeed, a month, passes
by that does not illustrate the COM
parative ease with which poor men
win wealth or acquire power.
