CURRENCY QELUSIQNS.

| 4 correspondent, seeking information,
! writes us as follows:
Would greenback- deterforate in value In
the inverse ratio Of s increase ii the sole paper
currency Of the nation regardless Of national pros
perity7 And would its substitution for the present
NationalBank currency not save the nation over
twenty millions yearly, without being what is called
"infation NJ
These questions are by no means new, and
they embody much Of the delusion which ex-
lists on this subject. The want of the cur
rency is convertibility Exchange for
the worlds money on demand. So long as
we have commercial dealings with the
world beyond the United States, We can
not have an exclusive currency. We export,
in round numbers, for various purposes,
about hundred millions Of dollars in gold
every year. This gold NE must hive, or shut
up shop. Our entire domestic business being
done in paper, we are forced to exchange the
paper for gold, or, in plain terms, sell the pa
per for gold. The price of the paper is the
price We can get for it, and, though We have
use for only one hundred millions to export,
the price at which we have to sell the psper
from day to day to get that sum determines
Of necessity the value Of a11 the other paper
in the market. This condition Of things
would not be changed by having all the cur
rency in greenbacks- So long IS the currency
is not redeemable On demand in gold, so long
must it continue to be sold for the needed
gold, and so long raust the value Of the paper
continue to be at its value in gold At pres
ent it fills the idea Of Gen. BUu1n, WENDELL.

The ine1orable blind Justice which-undcr
our enlightened system Of judicature, with
its radiant idiocy of lawyers quips and quid~
inevitably oyertakes evil-doers is again
illustrated from New York Fridays jour-
nails of that city announce the triumph, after
all these years of delays ~aud demurrers, of
the law over Tammany thievery. Tt was not
over TWEED, who, having escaped from the
Penitentia1y through lawyers chop-logic, is
now engaged in leading justice blind chase
through the technical mazes in the si1-mill-
ion suit; nor DICK CONNOLLY, who, with his
plunder safely slowed away in foreign climes,
cultivates his health nor SwEEsY, who es-
capped scot-free; but the law has triumphed
over dead man, n,-WATsoN,-who, in his
lifetime, as County Auditor, played the sub
ordinate part Of making the figures lie so as
to nominal1y cover the stealngs of the
thieves. Owing to his urhmely demise,
WATSON was precluded from the usual
course Of delays, demurrers, and motions,
and his widow, endowed with conscientious
scruples, Or unequal tolawyers' tactics, waived
formal defenses and submitted the case to
arbitration. The result is finding by the
referees that false. fraudulent, and fictitious
claims to which WATSON was q party were
paid to the amount Of SLIT, 1913, but
that only $G48, 491.51 wes divided among
, 1875-10-24

those of the thieves with whom he shared,
and for the latter amount only Judgment was
rendered against his estate, which is amply
sufficient to pay it. Now. if TWEED will
considerably shuttle off his mortal coil and
leave heirs as conscientious or as averse to Gti-
cation, by the like amicable compromise, q
similar proportion Of his stealings may be
recovered.
The New York papers Of the same day
chronicle the application for pardon Of HARRY
FRANKLIN, convict who for single bur-
glary-the net proceeds of which could not
have suficedfor lawyers fees-was sentenced
to the States Prison for life, and has served
twenty-one years. Hs is now 80 years old,
but during all his years of imprisonment
he has cherished the hope Of regaining his
liberty, and, patiently working over-hours,
has earned enough to support himself for the
little remainder Of his life, which he asks he
may pass outside prison walls. The con-
trast between TWEED with his stolen mill
ions thwarting justice, and this aged negro
asking that measure Of mercy which but adds
to the quality Of justice, could not be sharp
ened by any multiplication Of words.
, 1875-10-24

the Company had to encounter great deal
Of trade opposition Efforts were made to
shut it out OF the market. Libels upon it
were circulated. It Ind to sue some Of its
detractors in order to prove the falsehood of
their tales This is inevitable. Whenever
anassociation of wordngmen isstrong enough
to really compete with firms in the same line
of business there is sure to be keen rivalry.
Finally, the co-operators themselves did not
agree. There were chickering's without num-
ber. Despite an arbiration-c1ause in the
articles Of association, different members
dragged the Company into the courts, and
forced expensive litigation upon it. There
WAS once strike,-an inexcusable one, inas-
much as the method of arbitration provided
for would have settled any possible dispute
cheaply, quickly, and fairly.
The poor men who have lost their little all
in the Ouseburn Cooperative Company have
given their fellow-workers in every country
valuable lesson. Their experience ciows the
dangers of cooperation, as that Of hundreds
of thousands of other men shows it's bless
ings. Lack Of capital, debt, Ignorance, the
failure to do cash business, malignant OPP
position without and bitter dissension within,
ruined the Company. These causes must be
avoided as far as possible by other organiza-
tons in order to avoid this fate.

A VALUABLE FAILURE.

"The proposed liquidation of the Ouse-
burn Cooperative Company" says the Lon-
don Times, ''wou1d signify the failure OF one
Of the greatest among the many efforts Of
worlingmen to solve the problem Of SELF
employment" The liquidation is no longer
a proposition, but fact. The Company has
failed. The reasons why are full Of value to
the student Of social science, to the would-be
reformer, and to the workingman.
| Some of these reasons were apart from the
peculiar nature Of the enterprise. An enor-
| nous and unexpected huctuation in the price
Of coal and iron affected disastrously every
engine-manufacturing firm or corporation in
| England. This association of iron-workers
suffered with ill its rivals. Even this disas-
ter, however, was due to other workingmen.
Coal and iron rose in price on account
Of sudden and stubborn strikes. The miners
thus insured the failure Of their own fellow
workingmen, for the success Of the Ouseburn
Engine Company depended largely upon
cheap coal and cheap iron. The Company
might, perhaps, be in existence now if these
strikes had never occurred.
This, however, is doubtful The organiza-
ton contained within itself the seeds Of sure
decay. In the first place, the capital was
1udicrously-or sadly-inadequate. It YVES
nominally s1oo,0o0 Only E3o, 900 WIS really
paid in, and 945,000 was borrowed These
two things-insufhcien cash and heavy
debt-have been the bane Of cooperative at
tempts at production. The journeymen shoe
makers of Chicago, after wasting in useless
strike more than enough to start them in
business on their own account, tried it with
few dollars, and of course failed The Ouse-
burn Company, again, was in the hands of
men who were insuficiently acquainted with
the details Of management. They knew how
to do 6rst-class work, but not how to figure
upon it. They took contracts at rates which
insured q ruinous loss, and did so in the be-
lief that they would clear handsome profit.
Upon seventeen contracts the loss was
.s9,4oo Moreover, the Company engaged to
deliver finished work with impossible quick
ness. The ignorance Of the managers thus
forced them to break faith with their custom
ers, though-tot their credit be it said-they al- !
ways fulfilled TO the letter contracts on which !
they knew they must losel Ignorance Of |
this sort was fatal to the cooperative car
panters of this city.
Again, the Ouseburn Engine Company did |
not do cash business. It could not do SO. |
When an engine was finished one-third Of
the price Was paid -Four months afterwards
the ba1ance fell due. Credit is usually fatal |
to cooperation, for credit means percent |
age Of bad debts. and cooperation draws its |
main strength from the saving in percentages
Of loss. Cooperation and cash have to-
gether won many notable victories, but the
former needs the latter's help. Once more,
