The annual address of the Grand Mas.
ter of the Patrons of Industry, recently is
sued, refers to the disturbed condition OF
the finances of the country, in the follow
ing sensible remarks:
A Thousand years ago, learned and
thoughtful chemists devoted the energies
OF life. tain to a vain search for the won
derful philosophers stone, whose magic
touch should convert the baser metals
into purest gold. and thus Gil the whole
world at once with wealth and luxury,
To-day we have numerous citizens who
are eagerly pursuing the same phantom.
They are tormenting their poor brains to
devise some plan whose talismanic power
will transmute bits of printed paper into
countless millions of actual money of such
a subtle nature that, true as the needle to
Of the poor. and, like a "Win o'iWisp,"
forever evade the clutches of the rich.
1t is an indisputable fact that our coun-
try.is now seriously suffering from de-
rangement of finances We need not be
at loss to know the cause. 1t IS q SOL
enIn reality that our country has passed
through a most wasting civil war. 1t
cost us in money, time lost, industry dis
turbed, material destroyed, production
stopped more than $1O,0OO.OOO, 900. That
immense sum was in four years subtract

consumed. and forever gone. 1t made us
comparatively poor 10 bridge over the
emergency of the hour. the government is
sued great volumes of irredeemable paper
currency, which we used as money, and
thus for time disguised and hid our poy-
erty. BY using this currency our judg-
ment of valuables became more and more
confused as we drifted further from the
worlds standard. We totally failed to
realize our changed circumstances and to
inaugurate corresponding system OF
economy and industry, and consequent.
ly. with an inheritance of debt, extrava-

values, we have been necessarily drifting
to leeward. Out of the trouble there is
no royal road. Only by return to habits
OF industry and economy, guided by intel

move our load of debt. AS an auxiliary
TO this, we want stable and sound cur.

TIE sPEAKER OLE The HorsE

Col Lewis Bond, who was yesterday
elected Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives Of the Thirty-ninth Gen
eral Assembly, was born in Browns
vile, Haywood county, IN 1889. He is
a son Of Judge William P Bond, one
Of the most influential citizens of that
section of West Tennessee, who is still
living.
A short time before the breaking out
of the war, OBI. Bond graduated at the
University Of North Carolina with high
honors. Hewas a strong Union man
until June, 1861, when he espoused the
Southern cause and was appoint
ed Lieutenant of Artillery by
Gov. Isham G. Harris. in 1853,
he was promoted and ordered
to duty as Chief Of Artillery
on the staff of Gen. " II. jackson,
with whom he participated in some of
the hardest fought battles Of the war.
He began the practice Of the law IN
1868, and in the following year married
Mss Irene McNeal, Of Bolivar, grand
daughter Of Ezekiel Polk. The citizens
Of Haywood county elected him one of
their delegates to the convention held
in Brownsville, in 1869, TO select a can
didate for Congress from that district.
He was also brought forward, without
his knowledge, as a candidate for Con-
gress before the Democratic conven-
ton which met at Humboldt last o.
Der. but declined to let his name be used
underany circumstances. Nominatedby
the Democracy Of Haywood county as
a candidate for Representative IN the
present General Assembly, he made an
exciting canvass with a. A. Freeman,
the Radical candidate for Governor,
two years ago, and spoke nearly every
day for two weeks. Col. Bond declared
in all his speeches that, unless the reg
ular ticket should be elected IN his
county, he did not wish to he sent to
the Legislature by the votes Of mere
personal friends or admirers. He en-
tered the contest with a majority Of |
1000 against him, which he most gal |
lautly overcame. Maynard carried the |
county by nineteen votes, while Col. |
Bond was elected by about 10 major |
ity, and this, too, after he had declared |
emphatically from the stump, that he |
neither soughtnor wanted a negrovote. |
He possesses all the qualifications re-
quired in an efficient presiding officer,
and will, we feel assured, fill the duties
Of that position In a manner highly |
creditable to himself and satisfactory
to the House.

LOOK TO me SENATE.

An esteemed friend at Greeneville
writes Us, asking: Wherein turks
the secret danger to the integrity Of
the States, as constituent parts Of the
Union, If the people close their Sena-
tors Immediately, instead of mediately."
We may sayin answer that 1t would be
a departure from the Federal Consti-
tuition, and sad experience teaches that
it Is dangerous to tamper with that
venerable document. OF late years de-
partures from it have been frequent,
but We cannot cite one that proved
beneficial. On the other hand, the
present system has given this country
as brilliant a galaxy Of Senatorial
giants as any country in ancient or
modern times has been able to produce.
Another danger turks in the popular
election Of Senator's: with the appeal
made direct to population, how long
would New York, with its five millions
Of people, be content to have its two
Senatorial votes neutralized by those Of
Nevada, representing only fifty thou
sand nomadic miners? The idea Of one
Nevada hoodlum having as much power
in the Federal Senate as one hundred
heavy taxpayers Of New York city
world seem absurd. That is not the
proper view to take, Of course; but an
appeal TO the popular vote for Senator's
would bring that view into prominence.
It has been growing IN the Northern
States Of late years, IN consequence
Of the Radical practice Of rein
forcing their majority IN the Senate
by bringing N one or two premature
States every year, as they propose now
70 rush Colorado and then New Mexi- !
co into the Union, if they can only
make sure Of four Radical Senators to |
prolong their power in that body. No;
the true view is that the Federal Sen
ate was not designed to represent pop |
ulation, but free and equal States.
that weakens this view, or |
tends TO put the Senate on any other
basis, violates the spirit as well as the
etter OF the Constitution.

GRANTS ,ICrIENTED sIEssAeE

The following is the version of
Grants reference IN his message TO
Spanish affairs, which created so much
excitement in Europeanmoney markets
as vel as at Madrid
The President Of the Republic Of the
United States. Gen. Grant, addressed
to-day a message to Congress. He
SAYS that at the present time the rela-
tons of the United States with foreign
powers are friendly and satisfactory IN
every respect Nevertheless, he makes
- exception in the case Of the Virgin
ius question and other measures of
Spain IN Cuba, which he qualities as re-
gretable. ''The magnitude of these Of
lenses he adds. has not been miti-
gated since my last message to Con
gress. This uncertainty cannot last
long" He says, also, that it viii come
to Unnecessary for other nations to come
to an understanding with the United
States to terminate an instruction
which has 50 long EXISTED, and which
Spain tries ursUccesfUlly to Tepress.
He sets forth, also, that during the In
EUIlet-LDl Tic NDAlultlCt VI III GULL
tries, and particularly that Of the
United States, suffers greatly. he
adds that the flags Of America and
England were insulted. He closes say
inc that he had hoped that the nego-
tiations with Spain would have ter
minated, but that he is losing all con-
d-nce in this. He says little Of the |
affair Of indemnities, but announces |
that he viii treat of this in a special |
message.
Tho Ne1y York Herald has the fol |
lowing squibs upon the subject;
Was there any money, millions more
on less, in that change IN the Presi-
dents message with regard to Cuba?
And. If there was money IN It, who got
the money:
And they say the President changed
his mind" ~ regard 30 Cuba. This is
the only theory that is Uutenable.
Grant does not change his mind. Not
spontaneously.

THE panic occurred fifteen months
ago, but the public debt seems to be
still growing at the rate of S3,659,96
per month, or about $4,000 a day.
Such is the official report for Decem-
Der. It also appears that even Bris-
tow has been trenching upon the old
reserves. 1t is only a matter Of sew
enty-odd thousand dollars, but it de-
serves attention at the hands of this
Congress, if this Congress respects it.
self. At its last session, the amount of
greenback circulation was expressly
limited to 1882, 100000. The debt
statement, published in our last issue,
states the amount Of greenbacks out
standing at S382,O72,317. If Bristow
has any authority for issuing one cent
of this extra So, BIZ, he can as well
issue the rest Of the SlS,0OO,OOO re-
storing the legal tender currency to
800, 100000, where it stood when Con-
gress started the peculiar policy of
specie by contraction alone.
A curious feature Of this little devel-
opment is that Grant and Bristow
should be furtively initiating the cur
rency at the same time that they are
urging contraction in order to reach
specie.
