Butler on the Currency Question,

In reply to an invitation to be present
and deliver an address at public meeting
in New York, under the auspices of the
Legal Tender Club, General Butler has
written the following letter:
Boston, Mass, August 13, 1875.
MY DEAR SIR: Engagements loug since
made would make it impossible for me to
be present oh September l, at the meet
ing at Cooper Institute. | need not tell
you or my friend Mr.. Schell how much ]
sympathiZe with your movement. Allmy
utterances, public and private, have been
in that direction. | am unable to compre-
bend, appreciate, and much less admire
that system of Government finances which
has SO wrought upon the business and
production of the country that over 2,00O,-
900 workingmen and women, who desire
productive employment, have not had 1t fo1
the last two years, and by which the pro,
duction which they would have added to
the wealth of the country during that time
is lost. How the countryis to grow rich
enough to pay its debts by the non-produc-
ton of its able-bodied workers is some
thing n'tcomprehend. Assuming that
each one of that number, skilled and un-
skilled, could have averaged 81 per day
for the working days OF the past year--and
that suppose you will agree with me is
little enough-then we have lost 81 200.
10000, or about equal to half of the ma
tional debt, by their enforced idleness, to
say nSthing of the loss of the m orale OF
the wOrkingmen and women. How Ions
men in active business, and property
holders and holders of those kinds OF
property which are open to the tax-gath-
erer, will permit system of financial adj
ministration to go on by which their prop
erty shall depreciate thirty-thrce per cent
in its value, while the owners of property
such as notes, mortgages and bonds,
which are untaXed because not open to
the taX-gatherer, have their property APP
prcciatc and escape taxation, is aproblem
which the good sense ofthe people ofthis
country will solve the coming Presiden.
tial election.
Rcgretting that cannot be with you
and elaborate these views as should be
glad to do in New York City, whose docks
are deserted by shipping, whose stores
are unrented, and whose dwelling-houses
have been sodepreciated as hardly to meet
the mortgages upon them, and where,
think, sound financial doctrines are as
much needed as anywhere, my necessities
chmpcl me to f0rego this, which would be
Il pleasure to me and | trust profit to

the President to advise him to veto it, be

Are we Never to Trust the southf

And here is the Concord. n. H., Mon
itor, at this late day, singing the praises
of the 'bloody shirt" We had thought
that the most radical. the blindest Re-
publican, had abandoned that tack long
ago. The Monitor thinks that if we sould
go South and tattempt, in public way,
live up to the truths embodied in the Dec
alartion of Independence" we would soon
sing different tune than that of goodwill,
reconciliation and peace between the two
sections. And it is convinced that we
are "egregiously deceived, if we suppose
the Bourbons of the South can be trusted
with the government of the nation"
Isn't it about time to stop this sort of
talk? Are we never to consider the war
of the rebellion over, and to treat our
fellow-countrymen of the South as coun-
trymen, and not as a conquered people
subdued, and to be held in submission by
force of arms? Is this a republic of the
people, of the whole people, or is it a
republic of the people of the North and
West only? We want no reconciliation
not based in justice, says the Monitor;
neither do We. No reconciliation which
implies that the North was not wholly
right in waging the war against scces.
sion, it adds; neither do we. And what is
more to the point, neither do the repre-
sentative men of the South. "The wal
has been fought and we have been beaten,
say the South. ''We are honest in oul
belief that we were right, and we fought
as best we knew. But we were con-
quered, and we have since come to see
that there must be one union, that of the
United States, one flag, and that the stars
and stripes. Trust us, and we are with
you, heart and hand" We are ready to
trust the South. We believe there is s
dangerous element there that must be
watched and kept from power. So also
is there q dangerous element here. But
these must be vahquished by ballots, and
by argument, and by education. The
Monitor, instead of The Globe, mistakes
the temper of the people. It's editor shonld
have attended the Centennial; he should
have moved among the men from the
South here, and talked with them; and he
should have talked with the visitors from
other States of the North and West here
at that time. He might then have com,
pretended more definitely than he now
does the "tcmper of the people," We
fear he confounds the temper of the PEG.

The rainfall during the summer in
the North Temperate Zone has been
unprecedented.
In many portions of Europe the
floods have swept away millions of
property, and destroyed many lives.
The same is also true of portions
of tho United States. Pro-
tracted and disastrous rain storms
have swollen the rivers and submerged
many of the most fertile wheat pro-
ducing sections of the country. Some
ten or twelve of the Western and
Southern States, the damage is i'm
mense, so much so as to greatly d.
minish the harvests of our most i'm
portant cereals. The regions swept
by these storms produce more than
one-thir1 of the entire wheat crop of
the Central States, and according to
the most eminent authorities the wheat
crop will be one-sixth short of the
average, at least. But to offset there
is large surplus IN the hands Of the
farmers, probably enough to supply this
years deficiencies. Corn promises
we'll, and the general agricultural out
look is cheering. The large amount
of grain exported through the summer
is producing good effect upon our
finances, and the prospective foreign
demand for bread stuffs make Western
farmers look happy.
The letting down from war prices
for the necessaries Of life is not well
come change, tos the farmers particu-
larly. And yet all knew when prices
were up to the fearful figures of the
war period, that they must come down
sooner or later. Fluctuations in val
ucs and the continued depression in
business consequent on the unsettled
state of public feeling, deters business
from men charging their trade or from
entering upon new ventures. The
hard money, or sound money basis, is
the stopping point without doubt, and
when we reach that great border all
may commence to build up again
Sound money is the hard pan of the
nation, whether hard or SOFT. Tinker
the finances, or curreacy, as they may
when dollar means Just one hundred
cents of good sound healthy money,
something permanent in business and
prices can be established, not before.
The farmer cannot sell his hay and
corn for less than it costs to produce
it. The manufacturer cannot sell cot
tons at eight cents per yard that cost
ten. When that point is reached Gas
it has been farmers grow needy and
mills shut down, and that is about
where we are to-day. Labor has beer
too high. the cost of living too high
extravaganza has run riot and the lane
is full of broken, idle, shiftless men.

unable to better their condition. Now
