4 proposition has originated in the Com
mon Council relative to the construction Of
the new Court-House and City Hall, which ia
the only practicable plan that has been aug
gested for the Immediate prosecution Of tho
work, and which the County Commissioners
should aecept, The proposition is, in brief,
that the county shall avail itself OF its priyi-
ege to borrow tho money for tho construction
OF tho entire building, and tho city will as-
sunc tho payment Of its proportion Of the in

limit Of its indebtedness. Tle county, on
tho other hand, may Issue bonds to tho
amount, wo believe, Of 81, 900 immedi-

Of 1t. BY tho time the principal shall become
due, Chicago will DO q city with at least g
million, and perhaps two millions, Of inhab-
itauts, and 1t will thon DO amply prepared to

The main argument IN favor Of this plan
is, that the county and city aro practically

the county taxes ARE paid by residents of Chit

Trier, Lake View, and Evanston-are inhab-

business in tho city. The interests OF the
city and county in this matter aro identical.
For tho county to borrow tho entire sum

yield him q living profit, this bookseller
was waited upon Thursday by committee
of tho irms in the Ring and was threatonod
with tho denial Of oil opportunities to buy
books from dealers If lie persisted in refusing
to sell them at what are in many cases eztor-
tionate rates. It costs but IN innppreciablo
triae more to produce 8 book now than be-
fore the War, but tho War-pricea are rigidly
maintained. This 1nalscs the schemes of the
Booksellers Union still less oxcusable. In

Indianapolis speech, boldly inserted that
tho Bank of England was only Obliged to ro-
deem its notes in excess Of $7o,0os,000. 1ta
issues to this amount, he declnred, were irre-
doemable, This waa wholly untrue. Tho
Bank Of England holds rs security for tho
first Ell, ,00D, QUO Of notes issued the zane
amount iu British conso1B. In case Of need,
1t can sell these consols at moments notice
and use the proceeds to redeem tho notes
thus secured. Beyond tliis limit of G1i00o,-
600, every pound-noto represents gold goy-
ereign in tho Bunk vaults. The security
held in tho Shape of eonsols corre-
Bponds To the United States bonds
which form the basis Of our National
Bank issues. We issue currency amounting
to % per cent Of tho deposit; the Bank Of
England issues 100 per cent. The principle
IL tho same. Its worth is proved by the
striking fact that no holder Of a National
Bank note since 1868, or Of Bank Of En-
gland note since 1914, has ever failed to re-
oeive what that note called form America,
greenbacks; in England, gold. Since ls44,
when the presout English system was
adopted, the Bank Of England note has never
varied in value from coin. Whether interest
was high or low, whether business was in a
prosperous or procaripus state, this note has
been as invariable as goll,-because it has a1-
ways represented, always been exchanges
bio for, gold. During these thirty-ona
years, We have seon one system after an
other in this country risa and vanish. Bubble
after bubble has burst. The manifold schemes
Of State banks haYe been swept out OF ex-
igtance. We aro now blessed with a cur
rency which hns been worth 90 cents on the
dollar, 38 cents, mud all the other numbers of
cents between these extremes- Within o
dozen year1 1t hns suffered almost every con-
ceiynble ductuation, while the Bank Of En-
gland nota has not auctuated at all. And It
is this steady currency, good as the gold which
ia always ready to redeem it, which appals

Jumps up or down with every rumor on
tho Stock Exchange. Instead OF using
dollar that will buy dollars worth Of goods
or grain every day in tho year and every year
in the century, he wants us to uso piece Of
green paper, stamped with the $-mark, that
will buy 88 cents worth Of food to-dny aud
30 cents worth tomorrow, and perhaps only
10 cents worth, perhaps 90 cents worth, the
day after. He wholly misreprasented the
systom on which the English paper currency
is regulated. If he did so Intentionally, be is
not honest II unintentionally, it he really
believed what ho said, his ignorance should
excuse him from enpearinr before popular
audience as an instructor Of the people.
