TARIFF AND RESUMPTION.

The New York Post thinks that the
resumption of specie payments by the
Government can take place as soon as
the Treasury can add $45, 100, 900 or
$50, ,000, 900 to the coin it already has
on hand. In other words, with re-
serve fund of from $t00, ,000, ,0O0 to
$115, eco. 900, it would be safe for the
Government to declare its legal ten
ders redeemable IN gold. There is
much plausib,lity in the scheme, al
though it must be admitted to be ten
tative, and can only be proved by
actual experiment. Tho theory of the
Pos, is that no change shall be made
in the provision for securing or re-
deeming national bank notes. Green.
backs will remain legal tender, only
the Government is 10 redeem them.
II the volume of legal tenders is $340,-
COO, 900, which is as much below the
present volume as is represented by the
premium on gold, the contraction
ought to bring them to par. If the
Treasury has a coin reserve of 30 per
cent: on its currency,it may safely be-
gin TO redeem it, for that proportion
is as much as the banks of any COM
mercial country think necessary to
maintain between their demand notes
and their medium of redemption
But the Government is safer than or
dinary banks, because it "cannot sud-
denly be called on to liquidate large
block of deposits, which is a danger
every other country has to face in rel
sumption.-PPsis.

From the \. Y. journal of Commerce.
Senator Sherman's bill appointing a
liquor trade commission can serve no
useful purposc-unless to those politi-
clans who wish to divert the public
mind from more practical subjects Of
investigation. This may be its object
under the circumstances attending its
appearance. A great many inquiries
into the corruption and bad manage
ment of national affairs have been set
on foot by new House of Represen-
tatives lately, and it would be pleas
ant thing for those affected by the
expected revelations to put the peo.
pies thoughts on another track. The
liquor trade commission may be one
of these devices. Before it is finally
disposed of, it will cause much discus.
sion in Congress and in the Press. and
what good will come of it if the bill is
adopted, which is very unlikely? In
that event we should have a national
commission going over identically the
same grOund which has been fully Oc-
cupied by other committees appointed
by States and by societies, equally
competent to get at the truth. There
would be no result obtained which the
public did not fully know before
| The friends of license law as against
| Prohibition would have no fear of an
advese report from this or any other
impartial body of men, who would
honestly inquire into and report upon
the moral fruits of the two Methods.
| These who have cause to dread the
consequences of an investigation are
the Prshibitionists, whose theories of
the surprising virtue of their system
have been completely upset by facts
in the States where they have been
tried. We oppose the appointment of
such a commission because it is un-
necessary, because it will he another
item of expense at time when econo-
ny is imperatively demanded, and
because it has, for an ultimate object,
the design of introducing new ques-
tion-that of the regulations of the
liquor traffic into national politics.
Notwithstanding the Insertion in the
dill, just as it was passing the Senate,
of words refer ring the purpose of the
inquiry TO objects legitimately within
The jurisdiction of Congress, the aim
of the movers is still-.just as much as
before the soothing profession was in
troduced, to usurp another of the
powers that rightfully belong TO the
States, and therefore is to be resisted.

BL41NE's persistent antagonisn to
jeff Davis is scarcely circumstance
to the unforgiving spirit which the
Massachusetts Legislature still mani
tests toward Mr.. Roger Williams. 1t
is now some two hundred and forty
years since Williams was invited to
leave the colony, and Massachusetts, is
not yet ready to forget and forgive
and allow him to come back. Many
efforts have been made to have the
sentence of Punishment revoked, but
without effect, and the judiciary COM
mittee of the General Court, after long
deliberation, has just reported against
the proposition. Now this may be
just, but could not Massachusetts,
afford to be generous to the founder
of Rhode Island? What harm could
ne do her now? He couldn't hurt
Harvard if he wanted to. 1t seems to
us that in this Centennial year, when
everybody Except Blaine and Morton)
is trying TO heal up the old sores, it
would be nice thing to forgive the
poor old Baptist and let him come
