pared TO that of the man who pays 1t OH

manner bv the classes ,oho liue on their dni-
lv earnings, simply By the Average enhanced
price of their liUing, caused by irredeenaable
paper money. IS yearly greater than the IN
terest on the public debt.
1t is notorious among economists that
the legal tender act doubled the war debt
Add to this the fact that the lying prom
ise- to pay-currency doubles the yearly
burden of that debt upon the backs of
the working classes, and the crime Of the
inAationists stands forth in its true pro-
portions.
Commenting upon Senator Schurzs
speech and Senator Logan's reply, ,he Gin.
cinnati Commercial says:
1T was Schurz who spoke for the work
shops and the tarms, where the instability
of the currency inficts losses necessarily,
while Logan's cry for more money is in be-
halt OF the money changers and note sha-
vers. Wall street speculates and grows
riotous on irredeemable and fiuctuating
currency, at the expense of the farms and
workshops, and all honest and productive
toilers."
| That this last statement is true can be
shown by Senator Morton himself, who, a
few years ago, during the lifetime of Sen
ator Fessenden, of Maine, spoke as follows
in the Senate:
81 had hoped that the Senate had got
past the time when it was necessary to ar
que the evils of the initiation of the curren-
cy-the general increase of speculation /;
the general diminution of productive in
dustries and the resort to speculation in
stead. Does not every man know that the
result of an initiation of the currency is to
increase the price of everything that is
bought anl sold, first beginning with the
price of personal property then touching
real estate, and then, perhaps, coming to
labor?
"Mr. .Fessenden-It begins with labor.
Mr.. .Morton--The Senator says it begin
with labor. l submit that it is the expert
ence of the world that the price of labor is
the last thing that is inflated.
Mr. Fessenden-The Senator does not
understand me. l mean to say that labor
is the first thing to suffer from imitation.
"Mr. Morton With that understanding
agree. It's the first thing to suffer from
initiation and the last thing to be impruv
ed by it. Sir, as soon as initiation takes
place speculation begins; and what is the
effect of it? Everything acquires two
prices, the real price and the speculative
price.
Men can put property into warehoU' sc
and hold it for rise of prices, and thp.s. a
we saw during the war. and during th
great imitation, the price of goods goes nj
80, $50, 200 aud 300 per cent, because @
this speculative price brought about b,
the great abundance Of money.

THE TRIAL OF COUNT Won ARNIM.

THE TRIAL OF COUNT Won AREIM
SPEECHES BY TIE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR AND HERR
Won HoLTzENDoRF-TEsTIMoNY IN REGARD TO
TIE POLICY OF GERMANY TOWARD FRANCE.
BERLIN, Tuesday, Dec. 49, 1874
In the Won Arnim trial to-day, the Public Prosecu-
tor spoke in reply to the argument delivered yester
day by Herr Won Holtzeudorf of counsel for the do
fense and the latter responded to the Crown officers
speech
LONDON. Tnes6ay, Dec. 49, 1874
A special dispatch to The Pail Mall Gazette from
Berlin saws that the reply of Herr von.Tloltzendorf
to-day to the speech of the Public Prosecutor was
masterpiece Of elocution. and produced a powerful
ehect verdict in the may possibly be reached
by Thursday next.
Inc Itmess special dispatch from Berlin says
Baron Holstein testified yesterday that, in conse-
qnence OF being informed by Landsberg that Won
Arnm mistakenly attributed to Bismarck the inten-
ton OF going to war with France account
Oh the pastoral letters Of the French Bish-
ops, he wrote to friend in Berlin to
INFORM bismarck that the ambassador in Paris was
becoming nervous at this critical period. Addi-
tlonal dispatches between Pr.nce Bismarck and
Count Won Arnim are published Among the most
important is one from Won ArnIm stating that the
General Government should not discourage the
hopes OF the Bonapartists. they were the only
party which did not proclaim the necessity for
OF revenge. To this Prince Bismarck rcpiied that
there was no occasion to encourage any faction
while NJ Theirs faithfully fulfilled the treaty stipu
lations. Another dispatch from Prince Bismarck
Informs Count Won Arnim that he is mistaken If he
thinks Germany desires Italy and France to quarrel
as in that event Germany would be dragged into
the support of Italy.
Additional arguments for the defense were made
by Herren Dockhorn and Munkel. The former
maintained that even if the documents which ap-
peared in the Vienna papers were published by
Won Arnim, he could not be legally held
to account therefor. The papers were ex-
clnsivcly his private property. and had
been drawn up for his No rational motive
could be imagined for these proceedings as the
Foreign Office possessed duplicates of all the docu-
ments alleged to be detained he accused could re-
tain the documents until the Foreign Office proved
it's claim to them in civil action. There was no
evidence that further publication was intended
Herr Munkel insinuated that the Judges were
wanting in this case in their usual mpartality to-
ward the accused. He thought that they uncOn-
sciously yielded to influence proceeding from high
quarter.
The lnsnuation was repelled by the Court.
The counsel for the defense having closed, the
prisoner was permitted to speak. He said the doc
uments relating to his conflict with Prince Bis
marck were a grave in which was buried the friend
ship of his youth. Nothing could show that he had
at any time acted in opposition to his instructions
He could swear that he had committed no illegal
act.
Judgment in the case will probably be rendered
OH Saturday.

OF THE S5,242706 CLAIMED IN 2.407 CASES, ONLY

TO BE REoPENED EXCEPT BY ORDER OF con-
GRESs.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Commissioners of
CLAIMS yesterday sent to the House their fourth
nual report. The report embraces 2,407 cases. of
which number 124 are wholly disallowed, and
1163 allowed in whole or in part. The amount
claimed in the 2,4O7 cases is S5242706 40, and the
amount allowed is S77O711 81. Among the cases re-
ported is that of Judge Martin of Alabama now Sixth
Auditor of the Treasury, whose case was the first
one presented to the Commissioners in March, 1871
There are two or three noteworthy features in
the report, one of which iss the refer
ence to the question of loyalty, and
the statement of the position of the Commissioners
on that subject They hold that service in the Con-
federate army is not conclusive evidence of dis
loyalty, but only prima facie evidence, which the
claimant may rebut by establishing the fact that he
was conscripted or compelled by fear of his neigh
bors TO enlist or furnish substitute The Commits
souers state that they concur III the opinion
expressed by the Senate Committee on Claims and
the House Committee War Claims that the
Commissioners had no further jurisdiction over
claim after reporting the same to Congress, unless
returned to them by a resolution of Congress for re-
examination and they have therefore suspended
proceedings for TehearinR cases.
