A REPUBLICAN GAIN.

There has never been q time in our political
history when the election of first-rate men to
high office has been of more advantage to the
party choosing them. Suppose that instead OF
electing Mr.. Eaton, Connecticut had sent Judge
Foster back to the Senate; suppose that in
stead of wrangling so long over half dozen
nobodies and then picking out Gen. COckrell,
the Democrats of Missouri had reelected Carl
Schurz to serve them and honor them in the
Senate more than all the Generals in the Con-
federate army could do if they were let in in
q batch, how enormous the gain would have
been for the party throughout the United
States, Such acts as these would not only
insure for the States honorable and able SER
vjcefbut would at once give an effective con-
tradictiOn to every charge which now works
against the Democratic party. Nothing
did that party so much good last Autumn as
the demonstration that when it got the chance
il made Governors and Senators Of such men
as Tilden and Herman. Some things the Re
publicans have done have also gone to show
that they are not altogether past saving. In
several States where the power of oblectlOna-
BILE Republican leaders has seemed too strong
to be broken, large and respectable minority
have defied that power successfully. They
have not only prevented the reelection OF
their Warehouses;, but they have sent in
their places to Washington much better
men. People have generally taken it
for granted that Mr. Cameron is a
better man in most respects than Mr.. Car
penter, and we would have been inclined to
believe without much evidence that Judge
Christiancy was an improvement upon Sen
ator Chandler. He knew some law, and
Chandler knew no more than necessity or
Judge Williams His moral character was
good. He had been judge for eighteen
years. and this lapse of service, unless it is
stained with some scandal, gives better Gre
Dental than, for instance, eighteen years OF
such publicity as Mr.. Chandler has enjoyed.
So that people were inclined TO think his
election gain on priori grounds.
But the new Senator has not chosen to let
the country remain in any sort of uncertainty

imposed on the BANK OF Engiahu "hu ~-N
banks of issue by the act of 1874, utterly re-
pudiates all projects for attempting to MAIN
tain specie payments without an ample store
of specie. In his evidence before the Pariia-
mentary Committee OH Banks OF Issue In
1910, he referred to Mr.. RicardO's scheme OF
maintaining circulation of paper by pay
ments in uncoined gold in the proportion OF
one hundred dollars in paper to twelve dol
lars In bullion, as necessarily involving vara-
lions in the rate of interest ranging from
three per cent to forty, The justice OF that
remark has received ample confirmation In
this country. Even twenty-five per cent In
specie of tho aggregate note circulation mas
not proved sufficient under tho established
system of deposit banking either to maintain
tho convertibiIity of the paper or to prevent
those violent fluctuations in tho rate of inter-
est spoken of by Mr.. Tooke. In Great Britain
the total circulation of bank notes is about
$500, 1000, and the reserves held in specie
by the banks of issue exceed S14OOOo'Ooo.
The Bank of France now holds over
$500, 900 in specie, and had In circulation q
fortnight ago $515,OO0,000 of notes. the Bank
of Prussia has 9i5O,OO0,OOO in specie. and cir
culates less than s2OO,OOOOO0 of notes.
In one of Mr.. Tooke's earlier works, pub
lished in 1928, he refers with appreciation to
the state of the currency in France as "deci-
"sive of the great advantages attending me-
"tallic circulation in times of political dill
equity and danger" "On no one great Occa-
son," he continues, "did her efforts appear to
abe paralyzed, or even restricted, by any de-
"rang cement of the currency; aud in the two
Instances of her territory being occupied by
can invading army, there does not appear TO
shave been any material fluctuation IN Its
"value." And thereupon he proceeds to draw
contrast from the state of things In the
United States, which ensued upon the break
ing out of the last war with Great Britain, IN
1912: "UpOn the first pressure OF hnanciai
difficulty, nearly all the banks, nOtwthstand-
cling the utmost efforts to contract their paper,
"suspended their payments III specie. ANA
a" this circumstance was not only felt, In
" greatly embarrassing the Government OF
"that country in its operations during the re-
"mainder of the war, but entailed very I'M
"settled state of the currency for some years
" after the termination of hOst.lities." 1t is
striking confirmation of scientific truth that
fifty years later France and the United States
have respectively pdeocu tniousn o'h'"i 70
periences with precisely the same results In
France, since the evaporation of the assignats
"every part of the circulation has been satu-
Grated with specie" In the United States we
have been experimenting with quack curren-
cies ever since the first paper mill and print
ing press were erected in the colonies. and to
all appearances our people are still pursuing
the ignis fatuus of cheap money as eagerly as
ever. Those who are too misery or too profit
gate to buy good clothes must be content to
go about in rags.

in regard to the quality of the change which
has taken place in the representation from
Michigan The seat which he has taken

the least possible delay. A week mas not
