THE DFVOCRiTIC CPPORrrNITY.

It il in the power of Congress to settle the
money question this Winter. 1t can adopt
such measures that, before another Congress
can be convened by new President in 1877,
the work of resumption shall be completed.
If il adopts such measures il will take the money
question out of the next Presidential campaign.
Whatever politicians may say about them,
these measures will then be so sustained by
the people as to give them fair trial, and,
knowing that they will DO thus sustained,
sbrewd leaders of each party will refrain from
assailIng them. BY adopting such measures,
also. Congress can give to business that sure
footing that confidence az to the future, which,
more than anything else. Will hasten revival
of commerce and return Of prosperity.
1t is reported, doubtless with truth, that the
President in his message Will strongly urge
such settlement of the question If he is
shrewd in tactics, and believes that the coming
Democratic Congress will refuse to adopt any
measure for speedy resumption, he will be
sure to urge il. He will appeal in behalf Of
business and industry. now soroly prostrated
by prolonged uncertainty, and throw upon
Congress the responsibility of denying the only
possible relief. His partisans in Congress
will find it easy 10 spend time in cheap
vociferatiOn about the necessity of
such measure, while leaving to a
Democratic House the task OF maturing 1t. If
the Democrats do nothing, as Grant expects.
ho will then have opportunity TO appeal 10 the
country a. the champion of sound finance and
national honor II is no secret that he has for
months been convinced that upon this issue
he can be reelected. The obvious policy of
the Democrats is to get rid of this question
altogether by promptly maturing and passing
q measure of speedy resumption. The Presi-
dents friends would be SURE TO carp at it, az
not adequate in it's provisions, or not prompt
enough in operation, but measure both strong
and speedy will cripple opposition. All Re-
publicans OF the better class will sustain
1t from principle. The course OF the
President will make effective resistance
impossible for his friends. The Democrats can
thus gp,n the credit due for the just settle
New-York tribune., 1875-11-03

ment Of n most difficult question, and take OUT
Of the Presidential campaign tho very issue
which threatens TO divide and defeat them.
Even il sharp controversy should be occasloned
between Democrats in Congress, it would be
easy nfterward to reconcile all differences III
convention. Oh tho ground that measure
matured by a Democratic House should have
fair trial. This would obviously bc the sound
policy. We need not add that 1t would DO
sound craftsmanship. for it would pro-
mote the welfare Of the country. In the
long run, no party can secure public confidence
if il fails 80 TO use whatever power may he
given il as to serve tho public interest. More
over, it will be just and very effective argu-
mcnt against the Democrats in the next Presi-
Dental campaign, il, having tho power in the
House to mature wise financial policy, they
prove incompetent or unwilling. Whether the
President recommends resumption or not, the
Democrats will blunder if they do not put
through tho House measure to that end; but
if he recommends it, then the blunder of re-
fusal would be ten-fod greater.
VIII tho Democrats have the sense to take
this obviously shrewd stepf They have blum
dered stnpidly, and often. All late Republican
triumphs have been due to Democratic follies.
The country will watch the next House to SEQ
how much Democrats have learned. IL years
Of defeat have not taught them that it Is
always. expedient to do what is right, if long
banishment from power has not taught them
that the people will not trust party which
does not manfuy serve the interests of the
people, if the recent defeat OF intlatiOnists has
not taught Democrats that they cannot afford
to go into the next Presidential campaign
with even the faintcst suspicion OF in
tent 10 initiate tho currency and repu-
date solemn obligations of the nation,
they will deserve defeat, and will be very
likely to get what they deserve. For, however
shrewdIy Grant may play his cards, the Re
publcans are not likely TO load themselves
down. in desperate contest, with third
term candidate and all the Odum OF Grants
administration, unless they arc forced to it.
They will find some less assailable candidate
who is equally sound on the meney question.
If the Democrats refuse to adopt measure
of resumption while they have the opportunity,
that fact alone will greatly strengthen the sus-
piciOn which the conduct of the party in sew
eral States has already aroused. The Demo
Gratis must deserve victory this Winter, or they
will not win victory next Fall.

Tn recognizing the importance of the work
to be done by the Commission which the
United States have appointed for testing iron
and steel, the American Institute OF Mining
Engineers has followed at Cleveland the ex-
ample of other scientific bodies. A very con-
siderable uncertainty now exists as to the
strength Of metal obtained by different pro
cesses and TO be exposed TO strains OF differing
character. Definite knowledge on these points
will add greatly to public security in all the
various purposes of construction to which iron
and steel are applied. The work which the
Commission must do requires much labor and
technical skill, and will call for not little in
eenuity but the scientific men who have un-
de,taken it are fully competent for the task,
and arc experts in the special line of research.

No better evidence could be given OF the
absorbing interest felt in the revival move

of election day the attendance Mt the meeting
was not pcrceptibly diminished. This is the
more surprising when il is considered that the
election deeply aroused public feeling in
Brooklyn and effected considerable change in
the politics of that city's government. The
fact gives ground for anticipating that the

1t is to be hoped that the contract for i'm
proving the navigation of the Delaware River
may be carried into execution before the cold
weather sets in. The RATS of lumber that
come down that river are of less importance
than the rafis of ice to the property on its
banks. Last Springs experience with the
gorge at Port Jervis showed that engineering
operations performed on the Ice are not ade-
quate to the need. Ii would he q pity to have
the bridges that were rebuilt this year swept
away again in 1876, but there is at present
no real security against a repetition OF the dis
asters.
