doubt it. They make thieving a safe
business, at all events.
INITIATION.
The proposition to initiate the cur
rency meets with the most determin-
ed opposition in this city. The press
is bowling against it, and the citizens
back the press. The Herald holds
that imitation means Reputation and
that if it is persisted in, it will prove
a civil war. The fact is New York,
having so much of the wealth of the
country, wants as little currency as
possible, for the less there is the more
secure her grasp upon the country.
Then again the purple-nosed old
gentlmen who are out of business with
million or two, want the purchasing
power of tie dollars they have to be
great as possible Their view of the
case is purely selfish, They do not
take into account the needs OF the
country. They want to continue to
hold in their own hands the financial
destiny of the country: to let on the
steam and turn it off just when the
turning on and cutting off will make
them the most power The Herald's
talk of trouble is all bosh. There is
great deal of arrogant egotism IN a
great city, but the city OF New York
knows very well that while the coun-
try can get along very well without
New York, New York can't get on
at all without the country. The
war between the East aud West
which the Herald is trying to force,
would make New York a deserted
citv in six months. The war with
the South illustrated this The great
trade the trade that had been
courted-was the Southern. A South
ern merchant was made as much of
as Barbary prince, while the West
ern merchant had no attention shown
him whatever. The war broke out,
and six months after the firing upon
Fort Sumpter nine-tenths Of all the
houses in the Southern trade were
bankruot. The Western trade is now
the big trade, and any interruption
of relations would be fatal to nine
tenths of the merchants and bankers.
Whatever sections may get to war
ring with each other, New York and
the West will not be the combatants.

TEMPERANCE

continues to be the absorbing topic
in all the churches, and it has got
its grip on people outside. Some
thirty divisions of Sons of Temper
ance have been organized in this city
within three weeks, and also a very
large number of other secret societies
having the same object in view.
Cases of swearing OFF, are as thick
as blackberries. Say what You will
about the work of the women in the
West, it has had the effect OF awaken
ing the public conscience to the evils
of liquor drinking, and has resulted
in organization against it every
where. For the first time in this
country, an organization of Germans
opposed to liquor has been made.
Some sixty Germans met Friday
night and agreed not only not to use
stimulating liquors themselves, but
to labor among their countrymen to
change their practices and opinions.
And they are making converts. A
great many Germans nave discover
ed that they can get On without wine
or beer, and that life is endurable
without it. Ifthe new idea gets a
foothold among the Germans, it will
be very near to the control of the
city.
