be it bond or otherwise. it means dollar

V. A 3-65 bond would act as regulator
of the supply of money, and at the same
time lessen by millions the interest account
Of the nation: thus SlOO,OOO,OOO of these
bonds taken from the government would
enable it to save l-35 per cent. upon the
amount Of its 5-20's it could buy for that
sum. All the small wit expended by the
Wall street press, and its disciples of lesser
degree throughout the land, upon the 3-65
bond, that it is botomless, &C., &C., is
meaningless. When men cannot answer,
they jeer, equivocate, or lie, and such is
the case Of the hard money organs, as they
call themselves. Is 1t not plain that with
the $3.50 interest upon bond, one can buy
from any dealer in specie, over SO IN gold,
which is as large rate Of interest as an
English Consul or French Rente pays.

"CHEAP JOHN,

1t is said that the Chinese authorities
refused to permit any passengers to sail in
the "City of Peking," as she was deemed
unsafe by the surveyors at the port of de-
parture. This is very bad news for Ches..
ter. The vessel is about to be docked in
San Francisco for repairs, which will cost
Sl25,O00. She was damaged by strain.
Whether the story was true or not, we are
not sure; but the fact that the City of Pc
king so soon requires such very extensive
repairs would seem to confirm it, and ex-
cites the suspicion, that Johnny Roach does
not build the best steamships in the world.

THE FINANCE QUESTION,

A great deal of slang is indulged in by
many journals, upon the all important
question of finance. Infationist, soft mo-
ney advocate, communist, are some of the
cognomens applied to the men who de-
uand common justice for the debtors of
the country.
We will briefly and exactly state what
we conceive to be honest, and polite in the
case:
l. A repeal Of the specie payment act,
as its effect upon the 1st of January, 1879,
might amount to the confscation of large
part Of every debtors property in the coun-
try. We will assume that the greenback
promise to pay, will be worth 81 cents in
gold upon January 1st 1879. Manifestly
in such case compulsory settlement Of
contracts in specie, would be legalized
robbery of the debtor.
Gold is of course the standard by which
values are measured, and every one longs
for the day when it will be our national
currency; but this must come as the out
growth Of national industry, and above all
Of national economy.
II. The people should require such an
adjustment Of the tariff, as would enable
the government to take it's own money in
payment Of d tiles. 1t appears to us, that
this would be long stride towards specie
payment, as it would measurably stop gold
gambling.
The hypothecation Of our import duties,
to bondholders, as the collection Of such
imports in gold, amounts to quasi pledge,
is policy suitable for Mexico, Spain, or
Turkey, but undignifed and unwise in our
mighty Republic.
III. The abrogation of the National
Bank circulation, and the saving thereby
Of nearly $3O,00O,0OO in currency annual
ly paid to the banks, as interest upon the
bonds deposited with them. Let us have
greeubacks in place Of this currency, as it
is the people that actually pay the banks
for using their currency. No sound bank,

THE BLACK HILLS,


To the speculative American there il
nothing that is surrounded with more en-
ticement than the prospect for sudden rich
es. The hopes are raised to the highest
pitch upon the slightest pretexts, and it is
not unusual for an American to find an El-
dorado or big bonanza where any other
countryman would raise his nose in disgust
at the prospect before him. But we have
had the gold fever among our people in
several very severe attacks, and the Argo-
nauts who went to California at the time
Of the gold excitement there were no more
thirsty for sudden riches than those who
have their eyes fixed upon the Black Hills
as an Eldorado that is to yield untold rich
es. Thus far those who have visited that
section have been idle adventures with
neither capital or industry, and as the gov
ernment had not negotiated treaty with
the Sioux Indians for the lands, many Of
these adventures have been promptly ejec-
ted from the Hills.
AT present Mr.. Walter p. Jenny is en-
gagged by the government, making explora-
tions in this newly discovered land of gold,
and his last reports give the most cheering
accounts Of the vast wealth that abounds
in that country. To make mining protita-
bic he states that it will take both capital
and time, and with those who have entered
there with the intention of mining this is
very serious drawback, as they have no
capital and have not sufficient industry to
take time in the work. The deposits are
not represented as very large, but large
enough to entice capitalists, who will no
doubt monopolize the business of mining.
But Notwithstanding the efforts of the gov
ernment to keep miners out, they are there,
and every piece of rock or slate is careful
ly examined in the search for the precious
metal. As all agricultural region, when
put under proper cultivation, it will be-
come more noted than for the mineral re-
sources developed there now. AS Mr.. Jen-
ney says in his report: ut was truly said
of this region that there was gold in the
very roots Of the grass, but it is not the
gold of the gravel bars or quartz lodges;
nor the gold Of the miner or the geologist,
but the future solid worth of the Black
Hills that is to be sought in the luxuriant
growth of fine grasses that everywhere
spread over this beautiful country"
1t is therefore not the Eldorado that the
wild adventurers expected to find it; and
if the gold is there it must be gained to
the miner by hard and patient work.
Many Of them who are there are disgusted
viii prFpecp; ahdF issstsekk ss Hills,
instead Of becoming the waists of reckless

industry and toll into rich, productive

RUNNING ITSELF.

For the past week or two the National
Government has been like piece of ma
chinery that can be wound up and left
standing, and when it has run down be
wound up again. At least such is the in
ference when it is known that the Presi-
dent and all the members of his Cabinet
have been on travelling tour through the
country for that length of time. Such
thing was never known before in the histo-
ry Of any Presidents administration but
that Of Grants. He seems to care but
little how the affairs of the Government
are conducted SO that he gets his usual
free rides through the country during the
summer months, and dimes and wines with
those whom he forces himself as a
visitor.
Grant has been testing the pleasures of
clam bakes in Rhode Island, viewing the
magnificent swell of the ocean at Long
Branch and riding through New England
on free railroad passes, while the people
have to pay enormous taxes to keep the
salaries of these holiday-t taking officers
going. During this time the government
seems to be running itself pd there is the
usual talk Of the great pressure of busi-
ness upon the President and the members
Of his Cabinet.
