The above table was compiled and printed
by The TRIBUNE for the purpose of showing
tho tendency of an irredeemable and depre-
ciated paper currency to plunge the people
who are cursed with 1t into wild speculatiOns
and burdensome Indebtedness. Mr.. Kelley
agrees with us as to the fact that in the last
eight years indebtedness of every kind has
frightfully increased. He agrees with us that
the above table is convincing proof of it, in
dicating, ss may be seen at a glance, that
from 1865 to 1878 the loans and discounts OF the
National banks were expanded from $4S7, ,0OO,O 900
to 4944 100 0OO ratio of increase out of oil pro-
portion to the movement of any of the other
principal items which 20 to make up their
balance sheets. But We need say nothing
further on the Interpretation Of our table.
The figures speak for themselves. Mr.. Kelley
Mr.. Morton, and THE TRIBUNE are all agreed
that there has been an enormous increase in
public, private, and corporate Indebtedness
since the close OF the war The point upon
which Mr.. Kelley differs from The TRIBUNE
of indebtedness. We attribute it to
the rAckless speculations and unremunerative
enterprises in which the people were encOur-
aged to embark by excessive issues of incOn-
vertiblejpaper money. Mr.. Kelley ascribes it
to contraction. Gas you contract the cur
"rency." Mr.. Kelley says. "yOu enslave labor
"and enterprise, consolidate capital, and raise
." the rates of interest" And also, "as you
Contract the currency in country of re-
sources, peOpled by an enterprising people,
"you force private credit into expansion. The
circulating medium is withdrawn and credit
Z" rises, ever broadening, until. with your in
"verted pyramid, your whole financial system
topples over with . crash"
The absurdity of Mr.. Kelley's position will
be evident to most of our readers without any
demonstration. If by contracting the currency
YOU make it more easy for the COM
munity to get their paper discounted by the
banks. why is it that those who wish to bor-
row money are opposed to contraction1 But
we take the liberty to deny the fact that the

Mr.. Kelley quotes from the Finance
Report of 1872 table purportipg to
give the currency outstanding on the

1872, from which he would have it believed
that there has been in the interval cOntrac-

and misleading, inasmuch q It omits entirely
the circulation of the National banks, and in
cludes in the statement Of 1856 $l82, ,000, 900 Of

GETTING HIMSELF RIGHT,

1t having been asserted by newspaper cor
respondent that Senator Clayton Of Arkansas
had demanded Of the Postmaster-Generalt the
establishment Of the free delivery system in
Little Rock, Ark, and that being refused, he had
informed Mr.. Creswell that be would see him in
place where they have, If possible, moro hot
springs than IN Arkansas, before he would vote
for the appropriation bill, the Senator arose
in the Senate the other day to q question Of
privilege about it. He denounced the in
situation that g the way he described it
as being false, and the instigator "-as be
named him-as a falsifer. In other words,
he denied the allegation and de6ed
the alligator. He did this because be felt it
to be . duty he owed to his constituents, to
the Senate, to himself, and to the press. He
did no. say he would see the Postmaster-Gen-
eral in any such place under any such circum-
stances, but he did say he could not favor
any further appropriations for the free defv-
ery system under certain circumstances, which
means, We presume, unless Little Rock should
have tho free delivery. Which va quito

of the uses of the tree delivery and proper
appreciation Of the merits OF Little Rock.

and worthy of CLAYTON. We remember to have
heard something like it before. He also be-
lieved in free schools, being indebted to them
for his education He remembered the rod of
the tcacher-alas. that it should be only
memory-and believed it to be good. "The
rod the newspaper men heldn he thought
was also a good thing "when they laid it
"upon persons deserving it," but that when
Il thew went slashing around every which way
he would ask those gentlemen to DO little
more careful"
Mr.. CLAYTON is not singular in his notions OF
things great many good people before him
have beloved in free press, and have ap-
plauded it when it laid the rod on other
Deople's backs. When it came to be laid upon
their own they began to think "these gentle
"men should be little more careful" II is 50
much easier to bear up under the rod when it
,s laid on another mans back. What Mr..
CLAYTON wants - to see it applied to deserv-
"ing persons" 1t having dropped on him, be
remarked, in conclusion, that he "took this
means in the Senate to set bimsclfrieht before
the country" As to there having been any
bad feeling between the Postmaster-General
and himself. he said It had "ail been settled
" satisfactorily to both partios.' so that the
setting himself right before the country
amounts to this: That he did give the Post
master General to understand that unless
Little Rock was furnished with q free delivery
he would vote against any further appropria-
tions for the system, and that there was " bad
feeling" between the two on account or the
same, but that ho did uot-no, neyer-say
he would SEQ the y. nj. G.. in any
warmer place than Washington, or at most
Arkansas, under any circumstances This he
distinctly stated and desired to have under
stood by "the country" IIe demanded the
fair thing for Little Rock. That was all
And he proposed to have justice done to
Little Rock if he had to stop the whole Post
Office Department to do it. Not that ne ioved
Creswe,l less but Little Rock more. And
"the country" will rejoice to learn That no
did not use prOfane language about it.

the presents promised them when they were
enticed fiom their homes beyond the klo
Grande. The plea is that the appropriation
for tbe purpose of furnishing them with
blankets. mouse traps, and ho0p-skirts has
been covered into the Treasury" That is to
say, The Commissioners were 80 long ABOUT
the business of moving the KickapOOs, the
appropriation lapsed with the termination OF
the fiscal year. This may be perfectly far
and satisfactory explanation of the failure to
keep our promises with the KickapOOs; but it
is 80 thoroughly in keeping with the national
policy of dlatOriness, hesitation. and general
shiftlcssness in Indian affairs that nobody

ment.
Commissioner Stern, in report to the Bu-
reau of Charities and Correction, makes some
statements concerning habitual drunkenness
in this city which ought to arrest general
attention. He says that during the three
years ending Jan. 1, 1874. $50 men were COM
mtted for habitual drunkenness, and that
zoos women were committed for the same
offense during the same time These figures
are appalling to contemplate. They become
more 40 when we learn that some OF these
debased creatures have been "sent up"
great many times, some OF them as often IA
one hundred times More than five hundred
men and nine thousand women passing through
the courts as confirmed drunkArds! Ii any
text for temperance sermons favOring the sup
preston of dram-shops were needed. 1t is
found here. But Mr.. Stern thinks there is
something radically wrong in the law which
sends to the wOrkhOuse such vast number
of people. Some must be confirmed drunkards
upon whom such a sentence would have no
effect whatever; others are young in vice, and
their future associations determined by the
courts} only confirm them in bad ways. The
evil is ono worthy the most careful investiga-
ton by philanthropistS; more than this, the
safety of society itself demands its patient
examination.
