How ALFONSO WAS MADE KINa.-The
movement for declaring Prince Alfonso King
OF Spain, appears to have been planned by
Primo de Rivera, Captain General of Mad
rid, who some time ago announced TO Mar
shai SSrrsno his intention OF having Alfonso
declared king. Serrano tried $50 il is said
bur We doubt III TO dissuade Rivera from this
course, the latter said that he could see no
other solution to the troubles that had come
upon Spain. SerranO then visited the arm,
of the north, but he found there only generals
who were disposed to proclaim Don Alfonso
and not 10 fight for mis- success. Three bat
taiions OF Muryiedro, under Martinez Cam
pos, preeipitzted events by declaring for Al
tonZo, but their action was followed by a
similar movement of the armies OF the north
and centre. IL only remained for Rivera
with the garrison of Madrid. to formally pro
claim the Prince OF the Asturiss King of
spain, and 10 announce the appointment OF
provisional Ministry.

Financial Theories,

Professor Sumner, in his concluding re-
marks, page 326, "HiStory of American Cur
rency," thus depicts. the evils of an increase ot
paper currency:
There is nothing new to be discovered about
the operation of paper money. There is nc
new invention possible for making it Gas good
as gold" no new device conceivable for max
ing it elastic, no difficulty connected with it
which has not been experienced, no phenom-
enon of its developments for which we have
not abundant analogies. If any qualification
of these assertions ia necessary it is only this,
that no scheme of intTo-convertible bonds for
giving elasticity to a currency of q fixed
amount has ever been tried, or, so far as
know, proposed. This scheme is the only ore
which fully illustrates what is derisively called
''theorY," for it stands on no facts, appeals to
no experience, is deduced from no obser7a-
ton, but is purely imaginary and speculative.
1t has a certain plausibility, but all the OBJ
served phenomena of paper money 20 to show
that 1t would make the paper elastic only in
one direction.
For nation which has fallen into this mis-.
take, there are only three courses of actor
which are even logically conceivable to &c
on, to turn back, to stand still. The last /:
the 'growing up" idea, and may be ruled out
at once as impracticable. To try to stand
still will inevitably end in drifting onward into
imitation. 1t will be much gained, therefore,
if We come to face the situation as q grimsal.
Tentative, for such is its actual character.
To go on to further imitation, whether BY
free banking, intro-convertible bonds, or direct
issues, means simply bankruptcy and repudi.
alton. Each new issue will produce, only for
a time, ease and apparent prosperity, 10 be
followed in few years by new crisis and
new distress, then new issue, and so on ovel
again. Reform will then be no longer posi-
bic, and we must run the course to its end, IN
which the paper disappears as ANONYMOUSLY
as the Continental notes.

The LagnI Tenders.

The Hon. James G. Blaine, in recent
speech delivered in Portland, Maine, thus
referred to the necessity which called green
backs into existence.
'tDuring the first year of the war the
United States found its Treasury empty,
and we were spending two millions per day.
The Government hadn't money, and to
raise it did what the individual does-gave
its note for it-and stamped upon it what
the individual cannot, that it should be q
legal tender for debts. This act was de-
bated long and ably in the Senate, and the
great constitutional lawyers, among them
foremost the late William Pitt Fessenden,
were in serious doubt if the United States
had the power to issue these notes. There
was one argument which settled the mat
ter. The fate of the nation Was in the bal
ance, and they threw the constitutional
doubt into the waste. basket and voted for
legal tenders, and saved the nation. The
Democrats of them the same thatare
now clsmoring for more greenbacks-voted
against the measure. But it was carried
The first issue was $3.50, 06s, 600, and it
went like dew before the sun, and before
the close Of the session another $3.50, 600, =
900, was issued, and gold commenced to
rise. When Congress next assembled
another $3.50, 900, 900 was issued; and in
this very bill was inserted provision bind
ing the nation that in no event should the
legal-tsnder issue eyerl exceed $400, ,0O0,-
900. 1t was deemed necessary in order
that the credit ofthe nation should be kept
up that there should be limit, and we
pledged ourselves to the msney-lenders of
the earth that in no event should the legal
tender issue ever exceed $500, 900, 900.
We carried on the war without exceeding
the amount; and now, ten years after the
war was ended, when the revenues are
abundant, aad the national debt is being
paid ct the rate ofs million and half a
month, can conceive Of no disho1or more
absolute than the violation of this pledge.

The Path of Safety.

The man who would willingly return to
old State bank system and substitute the
les of2 thousand corporations for the
sent bills issued by the Government, and
ured by the pledge Of United States
ads, would be as foolisthas the man who
uldsubstitute the old stage coach for the
lway, the fast rider for the telegraph, and
taIlow dip for gaslight. The nation
no desue to go backward. Every step
st be in advance. Every step in the
ncial policy must be toward improving
currency, making it more available, by
creasing its purchasing power. This in
tease of values cannot come through in
ition. Watered stock deprsciates; watered
rrency becomes less valuable. The
.ater the volume of irredeemabie cur
cy, the less its value. This has proven
lie in the past; it will prove true to the
nd of time. We cannot hope to prove an
ception to general rule. What has

What 1t Mems.

In the United States Senate, April 6, 1874,
Senator Thurman, in speaking of Imitation:
SIT simply means that no man of my age
shall ever again see in this country that kind
of currency which the trainers of the Con-
stitution intended should be the currency of
the Union, which every sound writer on
political economy the world over says is the
only currency that de(rauds no man. It
means that SO long as live, and possibly long
after shall be laid in the grave, this people
shah have nothing but an irredeemable cur
rency with which to transact their business
the currency which has been well described as
the most effective invention that ever the wit
of man devised to fertilize the rich mans field
by the sweat of the poor mans brow. will
have nothing to do with it."
Now that Ohio and Pennsylvania Democrats
plant themselves on an imitation platform, the
Senator sees this imitation question in dif-
ferent light. Clay said, ''I would rather be
right than President" Thurman saws, 'I
would rather be wrong than to miss the Presi-
dencV"

What a Sailor Thinks,

IL don't know much about your
finances" said an old sailor to an initiation
passenger, but do know this: when 1
want to get the water out of the ship I
don't begin by pumping water in. Uncle
Sam is in debt; he has got big load on his
shoulders, and 1 can't see how you are
going to tighten it by adding more to it.
1t amt the way we do at sea. If We shin
water in heavy sea, or spring leak, we
start the pumps and see that every drop
that comes out goes back in the sea. The
old Ship Of State has got all she can carry,
and if you fellows don t stop adding to your
load you'll go to the bottom, certain. It's
all right to talk about more money, but
think you had better pay for what you
have got before you get any more. That's
my idea of finances, but know more
about the ship than about money. Still it
looks to me as If you fellows wanted to
carry too much sail for the size of your
craft"

The Sound Policy.

The Republicans of Ohio are in favor of no
sudden or harsh measures. They do not pro-
pose to force resumption by a contraction of
the currency. They see that the ship is headed
in the right direction, and they do not wish to
lose what has already been gained. They are
satisfied to leave to the influences of time, and
the Inherent energy and resources of the coun-
try, the work that yet remains to be done, TO
place our currency at par. We believe that
what our country now needs to revive business
and to give employment TO labor is a restora-
tion of confidence. We need confidence in the
stability and soundness of the financial policy
of the Government. That confidence has for
many months past been slowly but steadily
increasing. Tho Columbus Democratic plat
