had been issued. Thus, by the natural
unfettered action of the laws of trade,
the national bank note circulation has
been contracted S13,921, l65 during the
year.
This, however, is not all. If the new
bank note currency $685. 25 has been
issued under the Sherman act, which
went into, operation January 18th, 1875,
allowing absolutely free banking, but
providing that greenbacks to the amount
of so per cent. of the bank notes issued
should be retired simultaneously with
the issue of the latter. The greeobacks
thus retired up to July LIST amount to
S6,21S, 400, making total contraction
during the fiscal year of $40, l49, 5S5
Let it be borne in mind that this is not
the result of any Government interfer-
ence whatever. 1t has occurred under
laws giving the banks the right to in,
crease their currency as much as they
desire. That the currency has not in
creased under the operation of these
statutes, but has, on the contrary, very
decidedly diminished is sufficient proof
of the absurdity of the imitation clamor
for a currency equal TO the wants OF
trade" and demonstration of the fact
that we now have such currency.

NAV I'VE E.N'OUGH CURRE.N'CYS

From the Detroit Tribune.
The favorite phrase of the infatio n
is , in expressing his financial demand
is volume of currency equal to the
wants of trade That is what the Ohio
Democracy, in their platform, say they
favor that is what the anonymous Iowa
opposition declare that they yearn for.
If you ask the individual infationist
what he means by this phrase. the an.
swer will vary according to the extent
to which he has been infected with the
initiation mania. The Kelley school
want an intro convertible currency, only
limited by the amount of the national
debt other infationists are more mod
crate. All, however, desire to raise
prices land thus increase apparent
wealth. by depreciating the value of the
paper currency and this is the strained
Interpretation which every bona tide ex-
pansionist puts upon that smoothly
sounding phrase "a currency equal to
the wants of trade"
But supposing that the facts show
that, during the past year, with an am.
pie opportunity for the increase of the
currency, it has not only not increased,
but has absolutely contracted itself, in
obedience to the free action of the law
of demand and supply would not this
circumstance dispose entirely of the in.
fationist assumption that the currency
isl not now "equal to the wants Of
trade ?" That is precisely what has
happened. On July Doth, 1874, year
ago last Tuesday, Mr.. Dawes's cOmpro-
mise currency act went into effect. The
obvious purpose of this law was to add
to the amount of currency INTERPOLATION.
1t relieved the national banks from the
obligation to keep legal tender reserve
against their circulation, established the
FIVE per cent redemption fund in the
Treasury at Washington, increased the
lawful legal tender circulation to $751;
100000, and allowed the banks to with
draw their circulating notes by deposit
ing equal amounts of greenbacks with
the United States Treasurer. But un.
der the operation of the law the national
bank currency has been largely reduced
by the voluntary withdrawal of bank
notes. Up to the close of last month no
less than S25, 523,057 of circulation has

From the Republic.
For fourteen years the Republican
party has governed the nation. Its re.
cord has become the most brilliant chap.
ter in American history. No citizen

will dwell with admiration over the grand
work recorded in so brief space of
time.
Grand as its past achievements are
admitted to be, even by its opponents,
they will be at least equalled, ifnot sur.
passed, by the work of the future.
1t has delivered the nation from the
hands OF its enemies its future mission
will be to conduct it to the highest posi-
bic plane of nationality. 1t has a pub
lie debt to pay, the pledged faith of the
country to maintain, currency to re-
deem in coin, an emancipated race TO
protect before it can retire from a work
to which it was called by the voice of
the people
1t is not idle boasting, but recog-
nized truth, when we say that the Re-
publican party represents the intell-
gence, the wisdom, the patriotism, the
honor of the nation, as found among all
classes, among men of culture, wealth,
Industry, the true governing elements OF
nations Could the two parties pass in
review, so that the nation could contras t
the material of each, there would be no
hesitation among fair minded citizens,
as to the party most entitled TO sup
port.
Democracy has some good men in its
ranks, men who desire To do right, aud
who earnestly seek through their votes
aud influence TO advance the Interests of
their country But they are in hope
less minority, powerless to control the
bad elements which exert controlling

or, patriotism, responsibility, intelli'
gence, are the exceptions in Democracy,
while in the Republican party they are

tray them. Such men are discovered
from time to time in the Republican
party, but as soon as known they re.
ceive the lash of Indignation, or if Grim
inally guilty, the penalties laid down in
the law. They have never been shell.
tered by the party, and they never will
be. Whenever, or wherever discovered,
they will have melted out to them the
punishment they deserve.
This is all that any human organiza-
ton can do. We should expect no
more from party; we should be salts
fed with no less To search out and
punish the delinquent, to ignore the I'm.
worthy to turn a cold shoulder to those
who would use the party to promote
their own selfish purposes, should be the
object and aim of true Republicans.
Our ranks are filled with noble charac-
tiers, men of public and private virtue,
whose names have become household
words in the localities where they reside.
To bring them to the front, to nominate
them for office, to select them as lead
ers, is to write victory on our party
banners. Let this important duty be
performed.
