THE CURRENCY.

Thinkers and would-be thinkers, are
abundant in the land. Things are out of
joint and everybody nearly is doctor" "
When the individual is i'll, almost every
one is ready with prescription.
Our journals, daily and weekly weak
ly,) are full of prosaic homilies on the
currency" One thinks this must he done.
another that, and no two seem to enter
tain the same views. Congress hitherto,
has not been able to come to an agree
ment and settle upon the remedy.
In all this, one thing strikes us as seri-
ously unfortunate, and that is, the utter
disregard of the plain requirements of the
Constitution of the United States. Scarce
ly one of these learned doctors, in or out
of Congress, seems to consider that instru-
ment, which is, or ought to be, the funda-
mental law.
When Andrew Jackson, in his message
dating from March, 1929, proclaimed his
policy to be in strict accordance with JUS
tice and the Constitution, he was looked
upon with alarm, and even Democrats,
at first, were disposed to think him rash
and inconsiderate. His clear views and
powerful messages, however, soon had
their effect upon the people, and they
rallied cordially and repeatedly to his
support and sustained him and his policy.
This policy resulted in the establishment
ofthe Independent Treasury, that is, in
dependent of paper money banks. I'm
der this 81 stem the entire revenues Of
the country were collected in gold and
silver, and the government disbursed
the same. This policy continued until
the Republican party came into power
when very soon, all was changed, and
initiation was the order of the day.
The old Democratic doctrine was, that
the Constitution gives to Congress no
power to disturb values Congress has
no right to impoverish one man or many
men, in order to enrich one man or few
men, making millionaires of these and
paupers of those. This, however, is just
what has been the policy of late years.
Values have been disturbed, honest labor
robbed and honest business impoverish-
ed. Such are the usual effects of intla-
ton, and such have been the results In
consequence of this is the country suffer
ing business is prostrated, and labor terri
bly, depressed.
If our premises, as above stated, are
correct, we cannot conceive how more in
tlatiOn would benefit. We can see how 1t
would make bad, worse, but not better.
Initiation being the cause of our troubles,
additional doses could only produce adj
ditional evils. Initiation means fast liy-
ing, rapid expenditures and destruction
of values, fearful running into debt; and
the present depression means That
we must stop all this Or return to honesty,
economy and hard work. This is the
way out of our troubles and the only
way. The severe lessons of expert
ence lead to this conclusion, and we say
to all, bear with patience, endure with
fortitude, and work for your own saliva
ton and the salvation and redemption of
the country. $50 mote it be-"

FROM COLUMBUS.


COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 81, 1874.
The State of Ohio is great State, and
the people have reason to be proud of its
Capital and charitable and other institu-
tions. Its educational system stands
equal to amy other State in the Union,
and it ranks first in its liberality to edu-
cate the poor, take care of tile unfortu-
nate, and provide for the afflicted
Ttrelre millions of dollars have been spent
in the last year to educate the sons and
daughters of this State, and many mil
lions more have been spent to take care
and provide for the means of comfort for
those poor and unfortunate beings who
are inmates of our blind, ,imbecile and in
sane asylums. Well may the people of
Ohio be proud and feel grateful to the
taxpayers for their unbOunded generosity
in providing for the poor and afflicted.
The Northern Ohio Hospital for the in
sane is nearly completed, and magnifi-
cent structure it is. Our friend Dr. Slus-
ser deserves much credit for the energy he
has displayed in fastening its completion
during the last summer.
The Central Hospital for the insane
viii h is being built here, and has been in
process of construction for the last four
years, is mammoth building, which.
when completed, will cost not less than
two million dollars. The roof is now near
ly all on, but it will take two years yet
to complete it. There is ! miles solid wall
around this building,and it is five and six
stories high. 1t will contain 400 rooms,
and it is reported to be the largest build
ing of the kind in the world. In my hum
BILE judgment it is too large for convent
ence. 1t should not have been built so
large, and part of the means taken to
build another institution some where
else in the State, Canton for instance.
The Ohio Penitentiary under the dem
oeratic reorganization law passed last
winter and The administration of Col.
Innis (whO was appointed by Gov. Allen
last Spring. is working very satisfactory.
Col. Innis has jointed and dressed up all
the walls and cleaned the inner grounds
Of the rubbish, formed nice walks, and
improved the whole arrangement. MAX
ing it more healthy for the convicts and
everybody else connected with the pris-
on, so that $4,000 have been saved to
the State over and above all expenses
In fact in every department under the
control Of the Democrats, by the reports
made to the Legislature, show that
economy has been practiced to lis sfull
extent, and the Republican members Of
the Legislature who were last winter con-,
stantly casting up" toDemocratic mem-
bers that "the people Of Ohio would not
trust them more than one year with the
Affairs Of State" have changed their tune

THEY are making full preparations in
New York for enforcing the Compulsory
Education law, which goes into opera
ton on the Ist of January. The Board
of Education in the city have commit
tee at work preparing bylaws for carry
ing the provisions of the law into effect.
they have ordered census to be taken
of all children now attending public and
corporate schools, together with the
names and places Of residence Of their
parents. Then there is to be an enumer-
alton Of all the children Of the city, taken
by the police going from house to house.
Thus the names Of the children who at.
tended school and those who do not will
be obtained for each district. After this
is done, the New York Times says the
course pursued to enforce attendance at
school will probably be as follows:
"An officer finds boy in an uptown
ward, playing in the streets in school
hours The lad asserts that he is attend
ing school in given district. The Off
Ger conducts him to the school of that
district, and searches the censu' Of the
district. Ifhe finds his name upon it, he
is warned as a truant and is ordered to
attend in future on penalty of the law, or
the parents are warned that they will
incur the fine threatened if they do not
school the child. Ifhis name has been
overlooked it is now placed on the list,
and be is shenceforth known by the truant
officer as boy who must be compelled
to attend school. In the visits for max
ing the census the police will naturally
find families whose children do not go
to any school These they will warn of
the penalty they will incur if they do
not obey the new law. A census will
carry the news of the Compulsory act
through all the poor tenements Of the
city. And more than half the benefit Of
the law will be the moral stimulus ap-
piled to the poor to induce them to ed
ucate their children"
We know not how schools are man
aged in New York, but we trust the pu-
pills are assisted iu their studies by their
teachers and not sent home to get their
Arithmetic, Latin, or other lessons in
which the pupil requires helpi to be cen
stantly at hand. Certain memorizing,
the pupil may do at home somewhat but
not too much ofthat. We trust toe. they do
not disgust the pupils with the school,
by requiring impossibilities of him, or
surround him with disagreeable incom-
patibilities. as for example, grading I6
year old boy into room with little ones
of seven or eight. Some of these things
lead pupils to detest the school and hate
the teacher. and hence inducet to truancy
If the law will compel youth to attend
school, let the law see that the schools
are what they ought to be-thatis all.

MANY of our cotemporaries manifest
-astonishmentthat President Grant should
'chaperone and defend Boss Shepperd &
Co., in his annual address. But he said
the same thing last winter, and has al
ways been boon companion of Boss
Shepherd & Co. Indeed it is more than
intimated that President Grant is the
company himself. A fostering care which
he gave Boss Shepherd in his extensive
stealing in Washington. and the warm
support which Boss Shepperd gave to
Grant in his San Domingo and other
schemes, shows that they were boon
companions, bone of one bone and flesh
of one flesh in any scheme looking to an
increase of their stock and store.

their plan, as now modified. will be SUBJ
