wartime people assented to this because
the defense of the country was in the scale
and because there was some faith IN the
printed promise; now they must assent TO
the same fact, not for the salvation OF the
country, but for the convenience OF sec
ton.
From the Chicago Tribune.
If Congress would follow Mr.. Coxs sug-
gestion it would save great deal of the
trouble and expense involved IN the resolu-
ton unanimously adopted by the House
yesterday, and looking toward the expedi-
eney of printing the legal tenders in parts
and in different places, as a check upor
counterfeiting and mistakes. Mr.. Cox pro
poses that Congress declare every green
back now in circulation to be legal tender
for three times its face. This would obvi
ate the cost of printing, and would distri
butte the effects of imitation immediately, in
stead Of by the slow and antiquated meth
DDS now in use.

THE STATE PRINTING FRAUDS.

The Illinois Legislature has been inves,
tigating the public printing expenditures
and has succeeded in unearthing dis
graceful condition of things. If anything
were needed to show the necessity OF aban.
doning both the old parties and joining in
the PEOPLES Movement, this printing in.
vestigation has furnished it. The book
containing all the testimony covers 2S7
pages, copy Of which has been sent to
this Office by Hon. Charles Durham,
According to the testimony the proprie-
tors ofthe two State newspapers at Spring
field, the Journal REP and the Register
dem. J, entered into an agreement to buy
of all bidders for the State printing, and
thus secure it for themselves at the highest
rates allowed by the law. For this pur.
pose they established fund of $4,000,
each proprietor subscribing half of thai
amount. They then bought up all bids
that were offered, at prices ranging from
$500 to 81 500 each, so that when the
Printing Commission met, theirs was the
only bid offered and it had to be taken al
the highest rates. Then by various pre-
texts the contractors got rid of signing the
contract fixing the prices; and in one in.
stance they multiplied one of the rates by
four, and thus largely increased their gains
They also furnished paper and charged ex
brilliantly for it. and in many instances per
formed unnecessary work in order to in
crease their profits
