"lF INITIATION has 40 popular strength in the
West, what power Is n that is turning about
men like Gov. Allen, Gov. Hendricks and Con-
gresham Holman, and frightening Senator
Thurman Would these men experience such
sudden conversion If the Western Democracy
were strong for hard money"
These questions are seriously propounded
by the New York Tribune They can be
readily and truthfully answered BY the
explanation that Allen, Hendricks and
Holman are nothing in politics unless they
are opposed to the Republican party, while
Senator Humans fright is occasioned by
the rapidly waning chances of his noutna-
ton TO be the Democratic candidate for
President. In truth, the Republican party
Is rapidly crystallizing as the only hard.
money poMhcal organization in the coun.
try, and its opponents are, therefore, COM
PEELED to take sides against that doctrine
or become assimilated with Its following
The case Of Judge Kelley, soft-money
Republican, will serve to illustrate our
meaning. As soon as he began to grow
weak in his support of the Republican
principle that the integrity of the currency
must be preserved, he found himself drift.
ing into the Democratic current, and away
from the safe moorings Of Republcanism.
The only difference between him and the
Western Democrats referred to is that Of
previous party ties. The moral of this
shows that in every particular Che Repub-
lican party is the party Of integrity, for it
supports inviolate the pledges of the ma:
tons faith, both as regards the currency
and the sacred results of the war.

THE Herald says Mr. ex-Speaker Blaine
is ''imid statesman" who talks to his
friends over his breakfast table in differ
ent manner than the way he talks in pub
lie. This may or may not be true; but it
is certain that he will have the opportu.
nifty to talk plainly and in public during
the next session of Congress. AS the &C
knowledged Republican leader of the
House, he will be able to disprove the
charge of timidity by taking bold and
aggressive stand against the Opposition.
Until he has triumphed over or succumbed
to this test, it is, perhaps, too soon to
charge him with being afraid to speak his
mind in public. At any rate, his future
depends upon the result of that test, and
he is supported by the fond hopes of many
admirers, who, while yet unwilling to for
give his blunders in the past, have faith
that he will make amends for them as soon
as possible.

The Newspaper.


The newspaper, as journal of ne,us, has not
only become the great educator of independent
thinking and Of Independent opinion, but II
performs scarcely inferior function In quick.
ening the sensibilties Of mankind and In broad
ening and liberalizing the whole tone Of human
feeling as well as Of human thought. The old
narrswness and provincialism Of sympathy and
sentiment give way to cosmopolitan spirit
to the habitual consciousness Of worldwide
relationships and interests-when a man re-
ceives daily communications from his fellows
all over the world, and is touched, with no
matter how momentary an effect, by the trials
or tnumphs, the Joys or griefs, the pleasures
or pains Of his neighbors far and near, around
the globe. The renotest item of news, the
most trivial incident of life, reported from
strange people and strange lands, is Q message
OF human brotherhood-an appeal from heart
to heart-and, consciously or not, the generous
sensibilities In human nature are warmed and
broadened by an unceasing influence, even
from the paragraphs and jottings that we skim
with the eye IN our morning newspapers. The
newspaper Is, in truth, the most powerful
agent Of all that are acting In what we call
the civilization of mankind, but It Is 30 more
strictly As 8 compendium of current events,
and less as an organ Of opinions and as q dis.
seminator of ideas, than most people appear
to understand. ski. -

LEGAL TENDER sRcURrY.

The money column of the Philadelphia
Ledger has long been above reproach, II
indeed it Was ever suspected of being ssb-
jected to Questionable influences. Just
now its articles on the business situation
are being extensively copied to show that
our financial condition is not so deplorable
as some Respondent people seem TO believe.
Among other pointed explanations Of this
kind we quote the following extract from
the source referred to: --.a- ....
"The act Of Congress Of January IA, 1875,
establishes that the legal-tender greenbaeks,
to the amount of not less than $500, 0OO, 600,
shall be convertible into gold at the wiz of the
holder after January l, 1879, and that there
after the whole or any part of the $500, 000, 900
may be continuously used as representing and
convertible into gold whenever the same is
needed In the foreign exchanges or demanded
for boarding at home. The same act makes
entirely free the national banking system.
The notes issued from the Currency Bureau
at Washington win be, as they are at present,
secured by the public stocks Of the United
States, bearing interest In gold, and then
made redeemable in greenbacks, which are IN
turn, If the gold be wanted, convertible into
hard money. This freedom Of issue would
seem to supply the soundfst of paper circuls-
W.
AID viii as certainly be, regulated by the de-
mand as any other article or auxiliary of
trade, for the sufficient reason that II put out
in excess of such legitimate demand the rule
Of redemption viii soon return the excess upon
the banker. Il has long seemed TO us that all
the business of the country required was that
our present paper currency should be made
convertible into coin on demand, and what the
law promises comes near to It. The chief
complaint is that it is deferred until 1879."T
The candor and accuracy Of this state
nient Is apparent at 8 glance, and the sug-
gested remedy to relieve our present diff
culties is thoroughly in accord with the
opinions repeatedly expressed in these COL
umns. No one doubts the ultimate solidity
of our currency now but the trouble is that
the date Of its ultimate redemption is fixed
at remote period. In the meantime the
assurance of ultimate solidity does not effect
an appreciation Of the value Of legal ten.
ders. They remain at discount below
their face value, and are not available a. the
rel resentativs;of 90 much gold. This IN.
circumstance is the sole reason
Why specie values are not now practically
asserted. It was expected that the passage
Of the resumption act by the last Congress
would have the effect to prepare for this
result more readily than 1t has done, be-
'ause Il was believed that the public would
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-08-04

instantly begin to discount the anticipated
positive rise In the value Of legal tenders.
This expectation has not been realized.
That itshould be realized, and that speedily,
seems to be an imperative demand, for every
hours delay creates additional discon-
tent. This discomfort is the father
of hesitation and doubt, and to 1t may
be Justly ascribed he stagnation In basil
ness of which so much complaint Is made.
II the public could see and feel that legal
tenders are fast being placed upon solid
basis, there would be no hesitation regard
ing them, and they would be readily &C.
cepted as a reliable standard of valuation.
When they are thus accepted It VIII be 3D.
mitted that all possibility of further shrink.
age of values will disappear. At present
they do partially control valuation but as
they are themselves subject to auctuation
the valuation fixed by them is accepted as
correspondingly unreliable. When they
become fixed in value as the representative
Of 30 much gold they will have reached
the reliable standard TO which we refer.
Among other things to be feared If the law
is not amended between this and the time
fixed for resumption is that the unreliable
valuation occasioned by their iuctuating
worth will, as we have said, result in fur
ther shrinksge. OF all things that are
calamitous this is to be avoided, and IL can
only be avoided by the utmost haste In pre-
pairing the way TO make them acceptable as
the evidence Of things really in existence.
Now they are the evidence Of things not
seen" and "aith in the substance Of
things hoped for" and however well
founded that faith may be, the public
will not be entirely satisfied until some
solid assurance is given of their imme-
date worth. If Congress, at its next ses-
sion, shall adopt our suggestion to provide
for them basis Of gold. bearing bonds, that
solid assurance would be accomplished, and
their present worth would be asserted as
plainly as their ultimate redemption under
the existing law. The 'chief complaint
that their redemption is deferred until
1879, to which the Ledger alludes, would
be answered, and, without putting a
large amount of specie out of the
vaults, the Government would en-
able country to reach q specie basis
long before the date fixed for specie
resumption, We have repeatedly ex-
planned thai this can be done by simply
increasing the interest-bearing debt to an
amount less tina, sixty millions, and at the
same time avoiding the possibility that
general shrinkage of values may occur,
amounting to three lines the total sum of
the national debt, ant involving thousands
upon thousands of the creditor class in
utter bankruptcy-the bonds on which
this increased interest snail accrue to be
used as securities for he legal.tender
issue.

Democratic Schemes.

From the Knoxville Chronicle, August IL
We hold that the rebel Democratic party is
looking to payment in greenbacks for four
millions 4, OOO, OOO) Of slaves emandpated by
the war. They are also looking brward to
payment Of the party for losses sustained in
the war. Another of their schemes is to give
pensions to the widows and orphans Of those
who fell in the war of the rebellion. Already
are they hunting up old bills of sales, in which
II viii be shown that negro men who were me-
chanics were sold at prices ranging from one
to two thousand dollars. They are now look
ing TO an amendment TO the Constitution so as
to legislate TO pay these claims, which, II al
lowed, VIII bankrupt the natien and ruin the
country. II they can elect President who
will not veto their bills they will accomplish
their work IN four years.

that city by Frederick the Great. This
drive is less than two miles long, but it is
celebrated, known to fame, the world over.
To be hereafter more particularly described,
we have in Washington . continuous drive
over finely-payed streets of eleven miles
under the Lindensp For five miles of
this drive there Is double row Of lindens,
and now they are all in most fourishing
condition, being tbree and four years old.
We have drive Of nine miles under the
Films. and there is no handsomer tree on
the face of the earth than the American elm.
We have another continuous drive OF seven
miles under the Naples, and like the hindens
these trees are all growing splendidly, and
are affording shade. These facts are only
mentioned now to rouse enthusiasm for
the redecoration and solid improvement Of
the great Avenue our visitors viii see first.
1t is, of course, quite impossible to esti-
mate with accuracy the number of strangers
who will visit Washington during the
year 1876. The number coming here for
business and pleasure in ordinary years
easily averages one hundred and fifty
thousand. 1t is regarded as low esti-
mate by prudent persons to say that Wash
ington will be visited next year by Gin
Guiding Americans and foreigners) seven
hundred thousand strangers. The amount
Of money each stranger will leave here for
living expenses, hack hire, purchases and
incidentsls cannot average less than thirty
dollars. This, too, is regarded as q low
estimate. Travellers easily spend that
amount in a day, and many will remain
several With these low estimates though,
the sum Of money to be left here foots up
TO the enormous amount of S21, 0O0, 900, or
$40 for each man, woman and child in
the District of Columbia. estimating its
population at $50, 900. How is that Is it
reasonable thing to hang back about the
requirement of Pennsylvania ayenuef But
it is not for one year. 1t is permanent
improvement-one that will have to be
made very soon at the best. Why not 90
about it nowr Policy demands 1t. The
merchants and business men demand it
Citizens generally demand it, The safety
of the people demands it. Let us have the
