Senator sherman on Finance.

Senator Sherman made a long argument in
the Senate yesterday on the finance resolution
reported from the Committee on Finance
His views in the main are sound and are evil
dence of returning reason in financial legisla-
ton. He advocated specie basis for our
currency and insisted upon some step being
taken toward resumption. This, he declared,
had been neglected, and showed that the
money expended in paying the national debt
not due would have gone far toward accom-
plishing that result if the system of redeeming
the deprecated paper money in coin had been
adopted instead. Mr. Sherman pretty thor
oughly exploded the favorite theory of the
Treasury Department in regard to paying the
national debt, and made the strongest argu-
ment which has yet been heard in Congress
against the financial policy of the government
Coming from an administration Senator and
the chairman of the Finance Committee of the
Senate, his speech will have more weight than
if 1T had fallen from opposition lips. In the
act of 1885, which deprived holders of our
paper money from turning it into interest
bearing bonds at par Mr.. Sherman found
more evil than in anything else in our fnan-
cial system. The Senator, while he vigorously
opposed further imitation and insisted upon
the redemption by the government of its
promises to pay its notes in coin, at the same
time showing that the volume of currency
had been increased eighty-two million dollars
above the commonly accepted seven hundred
million dollars had no special plan of his
own to press before Congress; but the plan he
favored most was taking some bond of the
United States, which in ordinary times is
worth par in gold, and authorizing the con-
version of all notes into this kind Of bond.
This he believed would work not too rapid
contraction. aud at the same time bring our

Book LEARNING AND INITIATION. When
Senator Morton decries s'book-learning'' in
political economy he evidently does so be-
cause the accumulated experience of all
nations fails to strengthen his own position
in favor of imitation. Imitation is the panacea
of demagogues for every financial i'll. Not
having any book learning upon questions of
the highest Importance, the mere politician
endeavors to tide over every epoch of hard
times by printing promises to pay and calling
them money. When labor is scarce and bust
ness PROSTATE, it is, in his eyes, owing to a
stringency in the money market which can
be readily cured by the issue Of more ire
deemable currency. The experiment has been
tried in this country so often in the last few
years that we are rapidly rushing upon de-
struction, and unless Senator Morton and
others like him get little book learning, or
show some common sense in financial legisla-
ton, the most disastrous consequences will
ensue. The country cannot endure any fur
ther imitation of its irredeemable currency
and sneers at book learning are poor substi-
tute for wise craftsmanship.

BISMARCK AND THE GERMAN ULTRAMoN-
TANEs. Prince Bismarck became considerably
excited during the progress of debate which
took place in the Prussian Parliament yester-
day. An ultramontane member quoted a
passage from work written by General
La Marmora alleging that Bismarck, in
1866, discussed the cesson to France of a
portion of the Rhenish territory. The
Premier rose in reply, and pronounced the
statement IAN audacious and malicious false
hood" This is quite emphatic, particularly
so coming from the lips of an accomplished
speaker, who has accustomed himself to
balance his sentences with the utmost care.
Does the denial apply against the veracity of
the Italian Marquis in 1866, or that Of the
German Legislative speaker Of to-day? The
question is Interesting either wav.

The Approaching Marriage OF tn
Duke or Edinburgh.

On Monday next the marriage of the second
son of Queen Victoria, the Duke of Edin-
burgh, with the Grand Duchess Marie, the
only daughter of the Gar of oil the Russias,
will be formally solemnized in the Russian
capital. The Prince and Princess of Wales
have already arrived. All the news we have
received regarding the approaching nuptials
encourages the belief that the affair will be
the grandest thing of the kind which this
century has witnessed. The marriage of the
Prince of Wales was grand affair." and Lon
don that day did its best. In st. Petersburg
the presumption is the Duke of Edinburgh
will receive even grander ovation than Lon
don gave his brother. We wish the young
couple well. As things go in high places we
suppose it is q right and proper alliance.
From our special standpoint we look on with
comparative indifference. Monday in st.
Petersburg, not to speak Of the smaller de-
monstrations throughout two great empires,
will furnish another illustration of the truth,
which is too painfully patent, that the world
has not yet given up its false gods A
monarchical alliance which includes Great
Britain, Russia and Germany bodies no great
good to the popular cause.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE MEXICAN ARMY
VETERANs.-A National Convention of the vet
Grams OF the Mexican war has been held in Wash
ington during few days past, General J. W.
Denver presiding and General James s. Neg
ley, member of Congress from Pennsylvania,
delivering an grafton and the venerable Albert
Pike a poem. Among the interesting cere-
monies was formal visit to the President Of
the United States at the Executive Mansion,
where some happy "reminiscences of bygone
days, when ''revel in the halls of the Monte
zumas" was the objective point Of many Of
those present, were congenially revived. The
Convention was held for the purpose of or
ganization for mutual benefit, and especially
for the relief of those soldiers Of the Mexican
war who are now in INDECENT circumstances.
There is every indication that the objects Of
the Convention have been crowned with sue
cess and that the reunion was eminently a
happy one.
