THE FINANCIAL BILL.

The passage of the new financial bill In
the Senate makes good the predictions in
regard to it thus far. The remarks of SEN
ators pending its passage were brief. Dis
cussion upon the question involved was
exhausted at the last session. The bill Is
in substance like one introduced by sena-
tor Sherman last winter and defeated by
the ipfiationists. 1t is q bill, as its title
signifies. looking toward the resumption
of specie payment. 1t is not so radical a
bill as hard money men would like to
have, but it points in the right direction,
and is far better than any step yet taken
in relation to the currency, and far better
than to do nothing. 1t turns the tide in
favor of sound currency, and will make
another step, if necessary. easier to be ac-
complished. The vote in the Senate in Its
favor is especially gratifying. 1t shows a
united republican vote. and includes the
votes of Schurz and Fenton. The yeas and
nays were as follows:
Yeas-Aflison, Anthony, Boutwell,. Carpenter,
Chandler, Clayton, Cragin, Edmunds, Fenton,
Ferry of Michigan, Flanagan, Frelinghuysen,
Hamlin, Harvey, Howe, Ingalls,, Logan Morrill, Of
Maine, Morton, Oglesby, Patterson, Pease, Pratt
Ramsey, Sargent, Schurz, Scott Sherman, Spen-
Ger, Washburn, West and Wright-32
Nays-Bogy, Cooper, Davis, Dennis, Gold
thwaite, Hager Hamilton of Texas tombstone,
Merrimon, hanson, Sprague, Stevenson, Thur
man and Tipton-l4.
While the bill is not perfectly satisfac-
tory to the stringent advocates of hard
money, they will accept it generally rs an
important concession on the part of the
infiationists Its fate in the House is un-
certain, as the democrats and radical in
flationists will unite their forces to kill il.
An editorial from the New York Times
in our columns gives thorough analysis
of the bill. and as representing the views
which an ultra hard money paper takes
of the matter it is peculiarly worthy OF at
tenfion.

wheat in store at New York, which is about three
times much as there has been there at the close
Of navigation since 1871. and exceeds the quantity
then in store by l0O,OOO,OO0 bushels. There is
also full average Of other grains. This fact is
not cheerful one for railroad companies, IS it is
likely to seriously affect their winter business The
daily shipment of grain from Chicago is said to
have been reduced to % 900 bushels. Speculation
is consequently active, and both in Chicago and
New York the price Of wheat has been advanced
some thirteen cents per bushel from the extreme
lowest point.

notes will be kept in circulation only so
long as there is an active paying demand
for them.
They will be as nearly in the same po-
stion they would occupy were they re-
deemable in specie as it is possible for
them to be and not actually reach that
point.
Again. it must be remembered that our
business affairs have for some time been
in condition where imitation has not in
flatcd, aud where the mere legal release
of greenbacks has awaited nothing TO get
them into circulation. How long this state
of affairs is to continue no one can say:
there are some signs of its gradual disap-
pearance, and there is unquestionably at
all seasons such as we have been having a
tendency to reaction which must, sooner
or later bring us around. But it is safe,
we think, to say that the efficacy of the
Senate bill in securing specie payments IS
not likely to be interfered with by Its
provisions touching the bank issues. A
bill which declares day for the payment
of the Government notes in coin, and
which provides for the steady reduction OF
the volume of those notes relative to the
bank issues which are redecmable in
them. is, in our judgment, one which de-
serves hospitable reception at the hands
of the friends of specie payments. 1t Is
by no means perfect; but, il it is bill that
can pass. it is a thousand times wiser to
accept it than to stand ont for one which,
though great deal better, can not pass

CIVIL RIGHTS
Discussion of the Bill in Congress What
win be Done With II.

WAsHIEGToN, January 6.-The
feature of to>day's proceedings in
the House of Representatives was
the speech of Mr.. Elliott, Of South
Carolina, on the civil rights BILL
Elliott is coal black negro, of fine
physique, with mind well trained
in excellent schools in Great Britain
and blessed with an unusual fine
voice. The announcement that he
was to speak attracted large au-
dience, especially Of the colored
people, who thronged the north
gallery until perfectly black with
faces. He occupied position on the
Democratic side of the House, at the
seat occupied by Mr.. Kellogg, Of
Connecticut. Among his auditors
were Gen. Sherman, Bishop Simpson
and a large number Of Senators,
headed by Dir. Sumner, who came
over to the House specially to hear
him. When he made his allusion to
Mr.. Stephens as having been pro-
minently connected with the Con-
federate government his remarks
were loudly applauded not only from
the galleries, but also by members
on the floor.
Prominent among those who
applauded loudest and were most
demonstrative with satisfaction that
colored member was addressing the
House Of Representatives were
Messrs, Butler, Massachusetts,, g. f..
Hoar, Williams, of Massachusetts,,
Poland, of Vermont, and the New
England members generally. At
the close Of Elliott's remarks there
was again applause in the gallery
and upon the floor.
A large number of speeches we're
afterward made, but contrary to
expectations no vote was taken on
the bill this afternoon, and it is
understood that General Butler will
move that it be recommitted. He
finds that even among Republicans
there is great opposition to the bill
as now framed. 1t is expected that
the bill will be modified so far as it
affects public schools and other
o,rai, social institutions The hill
as at present framed provides for the
prosecution of suits in the United
States courts, and one Of the amend
ments proposed to allow these suits
to be commenced in State courts.
Gen. Butler, the chairman Of the
committee, is opposed to the latter
proposition, but the majority Of the
judiciary committee are understood
to be opposed to him on that ques>
ton.

GOOD FOE GEN. GORDON.

Senator Gordon on the 6th placed
himself all right on the salary ques-
ton. The report says that "Dur-
ing tho debate on the salary bill in
the Sennte to-day, Gordon, of Geor-
gia, said ho was willing to reduce
the salaries of Congressman, but he
wanted reduction made in the sal>
aries of high officials in the army
and navy. He hoped the salary Of
the President would be reduced to
$25, 900, as under the old law. HO
was in favor of reirenchmcnt, but
wanted it made by millions instead
OF hundreds, of dollars. This mon
ely should go back to the Treasury
and let tho repeal mean something
more than mere shadow to blind
people"

TO MAKE A COUNTRY PROSPER
GUS.

Commerce ut times creates large
cities and prosperous States, but it,
wealth is created by tho exchange
of commodities and at the expense
Of the industrial arts of the world OF
Of the localities to which it is conGn
ed. A city, built up by its trade
may furnish an adequate market for
the purchase and exchange of all the
industrial products of the adjacent
country, but Is only convenient
agent in effscting exchanges and
otherwise a non-producer.
An agricultural country, 10 be
come prosperous, must have mar
kct at home for everything the farm
is capable of producing. Its pro-
ducts as far as possible, should be
exchanged for products made at
home, rs, to this extent, the whole
value is preserved and adds its vols
ume to the general welfare.
To accomplish this system of in
,erchange it is only necessary that
agriculture and manufactures should
develop together. Let the latter
furnish at home oil the skilled arts
can supply and the farmer will not
only have every encouragement to
enrich his lands and increase its pro
auctions but to diversity them as far
as they may be made remunerativa.
A country combining it's produc-
tons to grain or cotton can never
grow prosperous, if these arc annual-
ly exchanged by merchants for ar
ticles Of merchandise procured from
other sections. Nothing remains
but the profits Of culture and trade.
Add to these, however, population
equal to that engaged in Agricul
ture and employed in tho manufac-
turc of everything the woods and
the soils produce and you at once
more than double the growing wealth
of the locality, its advancing popu-
la,ion and the profits Of its agricnl>
ture.
For these reasons il is Of the high
est Importance that we should have
all around us manufacturers capsule
of working up our Cotton, Wool,
Hides, Metals, Wood, everything, in
short, which we need a. home and
now procure abroad while the raw
material is cheap and abundant
all around. Every encouragement
should be given TO enterprises of
this kind even il, at first, We pay
more for an inferior article, as by
their success we are more than COM
Iensaied by the increased value of
any property We possess or in any
useful profession in which we may
be employed. No one, identified in
personal interest with any locality
should ever purchase abroad any
thing whatever which may be pro-
cured at home even at higher cost.
Ultimately skill will be thus improv-
ed-populstion increased-wsalth
accumulated and a highly remunera-
tive home market secured for every
thing the soil can produce.
