G0Llb THE GREAT REGULATOR,

Now, cine word more and have done, and
that is that don't believe that you merchants
OF New Nork will have any lasting or any per.
manent prosperity until this question Of the
currencyi is finally settled. 1t is not settled.
What is the reason that, when money is
cheaper shan you ever knew it, no capitalist
will lnvest in real estate when it is 80 greatly
depressed? What is the reason that men will
not advance money to the builder and take
back mortgage as he used to do2 What is
the reason that they will not lenG to any en-
terprise, and why is it that money is drug
In the street, and nobody can get it ?-simply
because OF distrust in the future. And WIN
the distlust of the future? That distrust
comes, aid comes alone, of q distrust of the
wisdom and honesty in your legislation and
your future administration. From no other
cause.
Such " s the remark of Hon. Edwards
Pierrepoint in brief address made in New
York some time in February last.
When we read these remarks, now more
than four months ago, we did not imagine
that any portion of the Democratic party en-
tertained the purpose of advocating any other
monetary policy than that which leads to q
specie basis by steps as rapid as the business
interests of the country will permit We did
not suppose that the Democracy of the Union
aimed at a ything less than definite divorce
OF the ban king system from the government
We thought that those who adhere to the
party Of jefferson, Benton, Cass, Calhoun,
Marcy and jackson have settled desire to
see the action of the government respecting
the currerpy restricted, and confined exclu-
'ively to the coinage of hard money and the
regulation pf its value. We thought that the
evils of governmental intermeddling with the
quantity Of the circulating medium other
wise than by the coinage of bullion were too
plainly sedn by Democrats to be willingly
tolerated. We thought that it was cardinal
article of Democratic faith that the Federal |
must refrain from the exercise of |
powers not!delegated, or which are doubtful, |
Unnecessary or dangerous, and we knew Of no |

An Extraordinary Specimen Of American
Iron

The Colliery Guardian, of June IS, SAYS:
Ihere Is now being shown in the Birmingham
| district an extraordinary specimen of iron
making in the United States. 1t is portion
OF sheet of very thin iron, SO thin that
though its surface dimensions are inches by
81 inches, yet its weight is only 81 grains
apothecaries' weight. The breath of the nos
trlls will drive it away almost as if it were
the cinder of burned paper. The thinness is
itself very surprising, but the extraordinary
part of the matter is that the iron has been
made from what the Americans term "muck
bar"-obtained for banks pudding furnace
at Pittsburg, without being revoked.
Thus, an extreme thinness of iron, which
1t Is almost impossible to secure from the
very best materials, worked and revoked
many times over in the usual way, has been
got from iron in the state of crudeness in
which it was found upon leaving mechanical
pudding furnace. 1t is assumed in this
country that the iron has been made from the
ordinary district pigs, and the specimen has
an important commercial as we'll as scien.
tlfic significance. There is to the iron makers
here the disagreeable inference that, if crude
iron can be worked to such foil as is described,
then that sheets of greater thickness,
but still of a thinness that brings them
to the narrowest gauge embraced in the
sheets generally made in this country, and
which realize very high prices, should bs pro-
duced by the United States iron-masters at
figures SO much below those at which alone
latens and button iron, for instance, can be
made in this country, that the Americans
must be in a position to compete success
fully with the British iron-masters for those
kinds in his home market. Men in the trade |
who have seen the specimen are EXPRESSING
the belief that the Americans should be able
to compete with the English maker in the |
Antipodean, Colonial, the Russian aud the |
Chinese markets, whittier large consignments
of British sheet-iron are constantly going"

THE CORNELL VICTORY.

The college regatta at Saratoga is over, and
the muscular young gentlemen from Cornell
will have the pleasure of hanging both the
trophy flags of the Freshman's and the Uni.
versity races beside their own white and red
upon the walls of their boat houses at Ithaca
for the next twelve months The triumph OF
Cornell is double one, and is all the more
remarkable because it did not until last year
have any representation in the college regatta,
and then came in somewhere among the
stragglers at the winning score. Now it has
routed in both races experienced oarsmen of
! Yale and Harvard, and of the other colleges
| that have been taking part in the regatta ever
since 1871, when it was first instituted.
The Cornell victory will afford room for the
spectators on the relative value in such tests
Of city and country men, of great weight and
size against lighter weight and inferior mus
Gle carefully trained. The question has been
whether the best material for crew could be
found among the brawny youth from the
60 to the colleges. On one side it has been
argued that the superior physique of the
country boys was the most reliable; on the
other side that the city-bred youth was the
more energetic, possessed a superior nerve
and was capable of finer training. Now both
of these theories seem to be upset by the re-
suit of yesterday. Cornell had the highest
crew of all the thirteen, but then every one of
them were from the country towns or rural
districts.
But when we see that Dartmoth, with its
immense fellows, Averaging over six feet in
height and having the most perfect muscular
development of all the crews, was fourth in
the race, and that there was only seventeen
seconds difference between its time and that
of the winners, speculation on the ques-
ton appears to be Whitfield down to an almost
imperceptible point. There are too many
circumstances that contribute to the winning
of boat race, and the victory after all being
only matter of few seconds, that no gem
eral rule can be laid down. Undoubtedly
Cornell won by its steadiness and that quality
of nervous force which keeps q man at his
work until the very last effort is made.
1t must be somewhat of disappointment
to the crews, however, that after four years of
inter- collegiate races that they Lave not yet
succeeded in making the time that the race of
the second year was won by. In 1872 the
Amherst crew did the three miles in 632 As, |
and that time has not yet been beaten, the |
l642I of the Columbians last year coming the |
nearest to it.-BaHimore american.
The time made by the Cornell in the recent |
race was 16 minutes and So seconds.

The recent insulting treatment of lady in
An English railway carriage has led to an in.
suiry in the House of Commons whether there
are sufficient means Of protection afforded by
he companies. The discussion revealed the
surious fact that, though most of the oom-
Panies have established carriages expressly
hr ladies', the fair creatures are unwilling to
associate in this way, and prefer the COM
partnership of the other sex. The President
Of the Board of Trade, in stating that the rail-
way companies have no power to compel
ladies to use the carriage set apart for them,
added that he believed it was nearly as requi-
site for the companies to supply carriages for
men travelling alone as for ladies. This ex-
euse, however, does not hold good in the case
Rnder consideration. There the lady was in
the car first, and the party who insulted her
was afterward placed in the same compart-
ment, with at least the consent Of one Of the
railway company's agents

the Federal Government under Radical rule
respecting the currency. We little dreamed
that veteran Democrat of State that was,
that is, and that is to be Democratic, would
propose to launch the whole party out upon
an unknown sea of monetary mutations, con-
fractions, storms, calms, tides and fuctua-
lions, proposing to perpetuate the regime of
shinplasters and to "demonetize the precious

We took these utterances, therefore, Of an
eminent Liberal as good omen, affording the
promise and the hope that the prevalence of

not depend on party caprice, but would have
the support of the best elements in all parties

power to decrease The currency. thus liable

LICENSEES GRANTED. - Tho town
, council of Central has, though elected
ion tho dry ticket, concluded to grant
licenses to retail spiritous liquors, by
paying a license fee Of three hundred
dHllars o year, in quarterly install
nents. The action of the County
Commissioners in granting bottle or
quart licenses to parties, to sell Just
outside the corporate limits detere
mined the council in this matter, as
the annoyance to the town from the
Shops thus located was the same as Il
