sufed by the adoption of some measure ez-
panding the volume of paper. This has
seemed q popular demand. Great meetings
haye been held here and elsewhere, to re-
mind congress of the need Of some such
measure as a vital relief, and congress, listen
ing to the voice of the people, gave up the
entire session to the framing of a bill
which should answer popular expecta-
lions. Whatever NAV have been the wis
dom OF such a bill, 1t is plain that under the
circumstances General Grant is not justified
in opposing what seems to be a majority OF
the people. A great majority OF the active
business men of the country, as well as the
farmers, have made up their minds that a
present flood of paper money would release
them from the endorsements consequent
upon the panic, and as this Is government
of the majority, the president should have
no policy to conflict with the ascertained
majority. That's not safe doctrine, 1t is
true in all cases, as one of the purposes of
the executive Office, is to serve as check to
unwise legislation when carried on under
excitement or an inadequate acquaint-
ance with the public sentiment. In
this case the president might, it seems,
have very safely satisfied his conviction OF
duty by protest Gnd, throwing off the re-
sponsibility on the congress and the people,
dismissed the matter. As it is, the west,
which is apparently very largely for imitation
right or wrong, will be angered into frenzy
and most unfortunate state of feeling en-
gendered temporarily, between the Sec
tons. Such arguments as the president
puts forth, can hardly be expected to change
the sentiments of those who upheld the
scheme for initiation and will tend rather to
than mollify the disappointed.
