WORK EoR CONGRESS.

To-day, thc 9TH Of january, is appointed for
the House OF Representatives to take up the
Finance Bill. 1t is to be hoped it will oq acted
upon without uan .cessary delay. No speech
es s!loull be allowed. There has alrea ly been
too much time coilsum 81 to no purpose in the
discussion OF the question of tinlnce. Every
man of ordinary intelligence knows as Mulch
now abont theories Us he wants to know. The
country wants practical wors--thc operation
Of a policy that will give steatliness to values,
and the creation OF business upon u basis that
can be relied on. The Senate bill, while not
precisely what it ought to be, in view OF the
conflicting views of the question it embrlces,
is the best that Gun be gotten. So let it be
passed without discussion and without amend
ment.
There is growing conviction with the peo-
pie of the necessity of some step contemplating
specie resumption. The people are wea led
out with the effects of a tluctuatng currency.
They realize the absolute and Indispensable
necessity OF a medium OF exchange upon which
they can depend for the regulation of values,
so that they may know what they are doing
The member of Congress from Virginia who
will vote for bill that looks to imitation, will
find that llc has misrepresented his constitu-
ents-tlie rejecting, business portion of them.
Here and there you will hear OF a man who IA
vors such policy, but it is not sonyctiol-
it is simply a delusion that more grecnbacks
issued will help him out of his present embar-
easements. He is not thinking about a gener-
al policy, applicable to the business of the
country, and the restoration of confidence in
the ramifications of trade.
There are two things the Republican party
must do before the present Congress adjourns.
One is the settlement Of this finance question
as proposed in the Senate bill, and the other,
legislation looking to the revival of the indus
tries of the country. There are two million
idle laborers in the various parts of the United
States, who are in that condition by no act OF
their own. The suspension of all the public
improvemcnts-the consequent paralysis to
stopped the wages Of the operatives, and caus
ed al amount of suffering almost inconceiva-
bie This il public calamity-one OF the re-
suits of the war, as we argued last week, by
reason Of an cxtravagantly inflated currency.
10 counteract its disastrous effects, it Wonlt
be sound public spolicy for the present Con
gress to authorize the credit Of the government
to be used in the commencement OF works O
internal improvements of national Importance
1t is entirely legitimate and right that such
measure as the Texas Pacific Railroad bill
should receive the favorable action Of Congress
There can be no possible risk in 1t. 1t is mere
ly the endorsement of the United Statez, Sc
cured by collaterals worth ten times the value
Of the entire road when completed.
If the Republican. party will unite upol
these two measures and secure their cnactmen
into law. the thanks and the confidence of tn
people of the country will be extended to it il
1876, and not without it does so.
