It seems worth while to inquire who have
been the aggressors in this matter we may
safely challenge any one to point out single
thing done in the last eight years to bring the
currency back to the old standard. Since
the panic, even, not measure has been
seriously proposed in Congress to bring
ns further back than the point we
occupied year ago. The friends oil
an honest, stable currency, the advocates
of the gold standard, supported by the WIS.,
dom and experience of all ages and countries,
have done nothing but resist, by such argu-
ments as they could command, the MAD at
tempt to restore the halcyon days OF specula-
ton by the creation Of more paper money.
Yet we are represented as OppressOrs and task
masters and held up to execratiOn as Shy
locks! We may have pointed out the guile
less simplicity of Butler, the consistency OF
Morton, and the elegant erudtiOn of Logan,
but our friends have rushed no bills through
the Senate and House in such haste that they
had no time to discover what they meant.
We have not played the insolent aggrcssor in
this conflict. Indeed when we look back
over the nine years which separate us from
the close of tho war, and when we see
the strong support which science and
honesty receive everywhere outside of the
House of Representatives and Senate. (where
we are beaten in numbers alone,) we confess
with shame that we have to reprOach our
selves with cOwardly inactiOn. We have not
been aggressive enough. We have suffered
ourselves to be doluded with the dulcet prom
ises of platforms and empty resolutions for
the support of the public credit; with super
abundant revenues and demOralizng pros
perity. To be denounced at this late day as
invaders by the Goths and Vandals of infia-
ton is really not to be endured without

A RESPECTFUL PROTEST.

We regret to see disposition on the part
Of the inhationists to represent the currency
question as an issue between the rich and the
poor, or the money lenders" and money Dor
rowers. To hear them talk a stranger might
suppose there were no other people in the coun-
try than borrowers and lenders. The truth
is that the great majority of men have other
pecuniary interests in comparison with which
their relations rs borrowers and lenders are
insignificant. 1t is a slanderous imputation
on the population of the United States to in
sinuate W. that q majority of them are
seriously in debt, and (2), that a major
ity of the debtors are such paltry
trcksters that they demand to have the cur
rency inflated In order that they may pay less
value than they agreed 70 pay, Yet what
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1874-06-03

result except what they consider to be tho
destruction of many wellearned regulations
aud consequent undermining OF public con-
fidence in our representative men, are disposed
TO deprecate the whole business and to say 1t
were better not to know these things than to
lose our confidence in human nature. That
seems to us very short process, from low
and selfish point of view. Better by all means
know human nature and correct our decisions
concerning it. All the Congressional investi-
cations have been opposed upon the ground
that the fact of an investigation being
instituted imputed lack OF confidence
which was injurious and unjust. But in every
instance in which they have been ordered
they have accomplished good. and by the ex-
posures they have made have justified the de-
mand for them. Not to go back to the Credit
Mobiier cases and the Investigations OF the
last Congress, take the three most consplcu Z
GUS Investigations Of the session just closing
the Sanborn frauds, the Jayne iniquities, and
the transactions of the Board of Works or the
District of Columbia. The testimony In all
these cases is fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie: it need not be detailed or even sumina-
rized. Its general effect is perceptible IN q
growing disgust on the part OF the
people for the party in power. which, rightly
or wrongfully, they hold responsible for the
condition of things disclosed. 1t Is this too
which furnishes occasion for the argument
against Investigations. that they undermine
public confidence in our representative men
and induce contempt for politics and dlstrust
of human nature generally. But let us see
what the Investigations have accomplished in
these three cases. The Committees lnyestl-
eating them have reported bills repeating
the Sanborn contracts and abOlishing the
system of moieties and a new system OF Gov
eminent for the District of Columbia IS rec
commended. The reforms may not be 80
thorough as we could wish, and possibly some
of them may fail of adoption at this session.
Bat investigation has uncovered the abuses
and they cannot so long unremedied. Dis
gusted the people may be, but they have had
good cause for it, and their disgust will work
out reform eventually. Has any one, even of
those most Disguised with the continual uncOv-
ering of corruption, the assurance to pretend
that these investigations have had no good
result? Will any one say that the reforms
certain to grow out of these disagreeable ex-
pOsures are not ample compensation Tor the
offensiveness of the process
The first two years of President Grants
second term may be marked by series of
disgraceful revelations of corruption and dis
honesty, but there is some satisfaction IN
knowing that the very disgust they have ex-
cited is an assurance that the people will not
further tolerate but will put an end to them.
And in this promise for the future the press
that has insisted upon Investigations finds its
highes. justification.

A PRETTY CASE.

In 1870 the books and papers of the firm OF
Wylie, Knevas IL Co. of this city were seized
on charge of differentiation in an invoice
of sugars. Then followed the tisua, process,
the details of which are familiar to all who
have read the recent disclosures OF Custom
house iniquty. The loss in duties, according
to the claim of the Government, was $3.50.
The penalty demanded was $4,000 In gold.
After the firm had endured great deal OF
yexation, Inconvenience, and loss through the
detention of their books, the Special Agent
Judged them sufficiently chastened to submit
to compromise, and the case was accord
ingy settled for $4,000 in currency, of which
the informer aud Mr.. Jayne took their regular
share.
Two years afterward another suit for under
valuation was begun against the same firm,
and this time the sensible resolve seems to
have been formed that the case should be
fought out in the courts. 1t is still pending.
In preparing their defense the importers dis
covered that nine letters, which were among
the papers seized in 1870, were missing, and
probably they never would have known what
had become of them but for the fact that one
of their counsel was an eX-deputy collector.
This gentleman knew just where to look for
the documents in question. He had put them
carefully away in the Custom-house himself,
in the course of his official duty, On the
ground that they would be "Of great use to
"the Government" and he now applies to
Judge Blatchford for an order to restore them
to the owners.
We commend this story to Senators who be-
lieve that they can safely restore to the
Custom house Reform bill the section which
authorizes seizure of books and papers. All
the most important of the safeguards which
1t is pretended will protect the innocent mer-
chant under the new law existed in some
form under the old, and yet see how they
operated in practice. The law gave the papers
into the custody of the court for reasonable
time pending the necessary examination.
Practically, the court had nothing to do with
them; but they were taken by the Special
Agent to be used in forcing a compromise
either through the business embarrassment
caused by their detention, or by more direct
process of blackmail. The law required that
when the examination was complete or the
case was closed, the papers should be promptly
returned; but instead of Obeying this order,
the United States Government purloined let
tiers of Wylie, Knevals e. Co. which might
possibly be "of use," and it was only by ac-
cident that the firm discovered who the thief
was.
This shameful affair is perfectly consistent
with the whole system of espionage, violence,
and rapacity of which it forms q part; and
while any fragment of that system remains in
force repetition of the abuse will not only
be possible but easy. No imaginable advantage
to the revenue will justify Congress in ex-
posing the merchants to such danger, OF the
Government to such disgrace. The odious
seizure law must not be modified or sugar
coated, but abolished, out and out,
