pale and fell into deep swoon. Resto-

The New York Herald, the organ OF

this question. 1t says:
lone of the facts in finance upon which
q infationists and their opponents thor
oughly agree, and upon which there
g seems to be no dispute whatever, because
" there is no difference Of opinion, is that
" infation Is for the benefit Of debtors as
q" against creditors. 1t is conceded that if
70 man owes twenty thousand dollars or
" less On mortgage, or if he owes q thou
" sand, or two or ten thousand dollars a
& year as interest on a NOR gage, or if a
" Western corporation owes any given
g sum as an interest on railroad bonds
" held in an Eastern city, ali these sums
" respectively are payable in legal ten
" ders and any law that increases the
quantity of legal tenders, and as it
4" thereby makes them Of less value, or,
" in other words, cheaper" hghtens
" the burden of the debtor.
And for the very reason, that imitation
would 'fighten the burden of the debt
or" it was opposed by the shylocks and
of the North and East.

AS might have been expected, the

great body Of tie producers # the West
and South, WHO loudly locked 70 the
measure for relief, are correspondirgly
disappointed.
With rare exceptions the East and
Wall Street, the money center Of the
North, are united in opposition to the
measure; while the West and South are
equally united in favor of it. The diyis-
ion il made by the sectional lines
which denote the great monetary and the

The effect Of the veto will be to re-

a Esentghted EseEiOn-aH E<nnves
or Fools

According to the n. Y World, which
has gone crazy on the subject Of the Cur
rency, the South is unfortunate in the con-
duct of her representatives on that ques-
ton. The World says, the carpet bag-
gers are voting for expansion because
they are knaves, and her genuine repre-
sentatives, (the Conservatives, are
voting for it, because they are fools. ut
is perfectly clear, say the World, from
"the tenor ofthe speeches of Gordon, Mer-
''rimon, Goldthwaite and others of their
ilk, that they have consented to the
''disgraceful deed in the most profound
Ignorance and misapprehension Of what
''they are doing" Inasmuch as the
South approves the action of these re-
presentatives. whether they are of the
surreptitious, Or of the genuine" class,
it follows that her whole people are in a
very benighted state, and sadly in nee
of the light which emanates from the
money lords of Wall street, and the mon
opolists of New England.
