sympathy IN labor that attracts its

If the people Of Tennessee were to

fiEd how many Others would come to

WHAT BRIsrOw's aREsUMPFION''
MEANS

MEANS.
One day last week we called atten-
ton to the working of what is known
as the Resumption Act Of Jan. IA,
1875, and attempted to indicate how it
would affect the business interests Of
the country if carried out as proposed
by Gen. Bristow. In a speech at Iron.
ton, O., last Saturday, Gen. Thos.
Ewing devoted considerable attention
to the provisions of this act. AS to
silver fractional currency, he shows
that the present fluctuations in the
value Of the precious metals makes the
paper fractional currency much more
stable; if lost by individual careless
ness. the government, that is, the
people, are the gamers; every man
prefers it to silver on account of its
convenience in trifing transactions.
But the Republican party proposes to
add nearly fifty millions of dollars to
the interest bearing debt of the country
by this one provision of the act.
The cost in ten years would
amount to thirty-twO millions Of dol
lars, the ffty-million-dollar debt still
standing against us. This cost brings
not the slightest compeEsating sdvan-
tage. But this is a mirror feature.
Gen. Ewing says that another pro-
vision of the act produced a contrac-
ton of more than 100000 a day for
more than three months, and that only
touches the hem of the garment Of
the recklessness Of this measure.
To the worst feature of the act Gen.
Ewing pays, however, too little a.ten-
ton; or, as the Cincinnati Enquirer
puts it:
The law authorizes and viii compel
the Secretary Of the Treasury to add
from three hundred to five hundred
millions Of dollars to the interest
bearing debt by one Of it's clauses
that requiring the redemption of the
greenbacks on named day, January
l, 1879. 1t puts the government IN
the market as a buyer of more than
three hundred millions Of dollars IN
gold. for which it Is to run in debt, at
whatever pr.ce it may hap
pen to command on that day. Moth
ing has happened for more than ten
years, twenty certain, to send up the
price of this commodity, gold, as did
this advertisement. A responsible
buyer must hare on a certain day a
csrtain commodity to the extraordinary
amount of S30O,0O0,000. On a great
continent, peopled by forty millions, IN
a country which largely produces. that
commodity, not one-half this quantity
can be purchased to-day at any price.
1t isn't here. What will be the effect OF
this announcement that the United
States must buy so much
gold? That article of commerce
viii immensely advance, If
course. For teveral months after the
passage of that act gold advanced at
the rate Of a cent and quarter month.
1t is impossible to determine what
price 1t viii command on the first day of
January, 1879. 1t is certain, however,
that under the provisions Of this clause
of the law every dollar of redemption
and every percentage Of increase IN the
price Of gold is so much added to the
interest bearing national debt, TO no
earthly rational purpose, and pro-
ducins no conceivable advantage to
any man not q seller Of money.

One bT one the roses continue TO
drop. Itnow seems that Deiauo viii
have 10 90 next. Sunday we publish
ed q special to the Cincinnati Com
msyciaI from Washington stating Tat
an unfavOrable vote lad been taken by
the Cabinet on the question whether
Delano ought t. remain, which de-
veloDed the fact that only two Of the
members were opposed to him. But
the Cincinnati Co=etis's correspondent,
under a later date, insists that, So far
from such having ben the case, De.
lan0's case was not even mentioned at
the meeting, and every member Of the
Cabinet has within a few weeks past
privately expressed the opinion that
the time had come when the interest Of
the administration and IF the Repub.
lean party required that he should 90
out.
1t further appears that the Prcsi-
dent. about the both Of June, addressed
Delano "a written request for his resig-
nation. When Delano received this
letter, on his return to the Department,
a few days later, he left at once for
Long Branch and bad a most remark
able interview with the President, in
which he insisted that he should not be
removed under fire." that he should
bspermitted to remain until the pend
ing Investigations into Indian Affairs
were finished, and finally ended with
what were virtually threats that if he
was forced out Of the Cabinet, the ud-
n.iuistrati0u 1rOuld regret It.
And this is stated to be exactly where
the Delano matter now stands. He
says boldly to those about the Presi-
dent that if he is put out there viii be
exposure made that VIII not affect his
personal or his official family alone;
and, rather than have at present a row
OF that character, the President has
chosen to let a final response to his
letter from Delano 90 unanswered for
the present. In regard to these last
destinations, the President Is said to be
greatly provoked, but as he recognized
the force Of Delano's appeal To be
allowed to remain, at least
till the Indian Investigations are
over, he has concluded to take no step,
notwithstanding this provocation, until
the commission reports. The assertion
that the President, about the time
indicated in June, wrote Delano, for.
maIly requesting his resignation, and
that Delano declined TO offer it when
thus requested, can, we are assured, be
implicitly relied upon as correct, IN
spite Of all denials from any quarter
And it seems 10 be equally certain that
Delano's threat Of damaging reveal
tons was the only thing that saved
him. They bully Grant as they please

PLEHPsOLL,s TRIUMPH.

"A party by the name of Pimpsoll
has monopolized a good deal Of space
In the cable dispatches Of late, and we
had been led to think he was about to
set the Thames afre with that row he
WIS raising in the House Of Commons;
but here comes a telegram that he
proposes to apologize to that
body for the plain talk in which be
INDUCED last week. Some would call
this craw-fshing; but they do not zee
through Plimpson. He had his point
to carry, and he carried it-evidently
by main strength and awkwardness,
which is better, at all events, than a
brilliant failure. Last year he intro
duced q bill to SO amend the shipping
laws that British seamen and British
passengers would stand a better chance
of getting back safely to port than IN
der the pr sent reckless system of taking
the seaworthiness Of vessels So little into
account. The Boston Transcript states
the case well when it says:
Great Britain, 1t will be remembered,
prides herself on being mistress Of
the seas, and quite a number OF her
public spirited citizens in the shipping
business maintain Der reputation by
dispaJ hing regularly from her ports
as rotten and worthless hulks as were
ever kept afoat. The number
Of merchant vessels which every year set
sail from the chief sup ling ports of
Great Britain, and are never heard Of
again, is simply startling. In many
cases the losses are altogether due to
the natural and inevitabis psrlls Of the
sea; but in quite a number Of cases
they have been found to be due to o
causes not at all natural or inevitable,
but purely mercenaTy and wicked, VIZ:
overlooking and over-insuring. That
is to say, a shipping merchant loads an
old and almost worthless vessel
much beyond her capacity, obtains a
heavy insurance on ship and cargo, and
waits results. If the vessel chances to
reach her port, there Is nothing lost,
and the heavy cargo pays a handsome
return for the voyage. If, which IS
quite as likely, the vessel is never heard
from again, the merchant, after a rea-
sonable interval, collects his insurance,
and realizes more than if the ship
had kept afiOat.
This disgraceful condition of things
Plimpson proposed to remedy by his
bill, but gave way to the government,
which had a measure of its own and
promised great things. When, however,
it was announced by Disraeh, last
Thursday, that the government had de-
termined to abandon its bill for this
session, Plimpsou took the floor,
and literally made the fur fly. The
scene has already been described
in the cable report-how the
House got On its dignity, and
things looked as if the result would 90
hard with Plimpsoll. But the sturdy
Britisher had the people at his back.
The pressure Of public sentiment makes
itself felt oftsneT IN Parliament
House nowadays than was the
case half a century ago.
And so we are not surprised to see
it announced in the dispatches this
morning that tie Government has craw-
fished instead of Phmpsoll, and that
his bill has been revived for considera-
ton next Thursday. The Conserva-
tives claim it as 2 great victory, and
well they may. Plimpsol can afford
