The relations of the United States
with foreign powers continue on friendly
footing. Questions have arisen from time
to time in the foreign relations of the gov
eminent, but the United States have been
happily free, during the past year, from the
complications and embarassments which
have surrounded some Of the foreign Pow.
srs. The diplomatic correspondence sub
nitted herewith contains information as to
certain of the matters which have occupied
the government. The cordi0lity which At
tends our relations with the Powers of the
earth has been plainly shown by the gen.
erAl participation of foreign nations in the
exhibition which has Just ceased, and by
exertions made by distant Powers 10 show
their interest and friendly feeling toward the
United States in commemorakion of the
centennial of the nation. The government
and people of the United States have not
only fully appreciated this exhibition of
kindly feeling, but II may be justly and
Airly expected that no small benefits will
result. both to ourselves and other nafions,

appreciation of our mutual advantages

-Jennison does not like our de-
finition Of ':intrinsic value,"i. e., the
property of being useful to promote
human happiness, and quotes Web
ster's definition Of intrinsic" against
us. Why not, also, give the same
authors definition of ':value." In
that case he would have got ''intrin-
sic value"-real usefulness. That
IS what we said. Again, he quotes
Adam Smiths definition of *value"
to disprove our assertion that the
intrinsic value Of ali article depends
upon the degree Of its quality of
usefulness. Mr.. Smith says that
there are two kinds of value, viz. {:
"utility" and purchasing power"
and adds:

AS against our assertion that the

Mr.. Prices Currency and Banking
to prove the contrary, but as neither
MI. Price nor General Jennison can
give any sufficient reason why gold
should be exempt from the opera

makes the price of an article depend
upon its supply and demand, we
must be allowed to say that "Pnce

-Jennison contendsAhat he does
not misrepresent the financial plan
we advocate. Why, neighbor. is
not your entire argument based up
on your assertion that we advocate
funding the government debts in
bonds payable in greenbacks? We
advocate nothing Of the sort. To
give greenback for bond, or a
bond for a greenback, does not pay
the debt. We would have the bonds
payable in gold, on and after ma
turity; but, before maturity, inter-
convertible with greenbacks or gold
at the option of the government.
For instance, suppose you possessed
a bond for $1,000, payable in 1900,
and was to offer it at the treasury
in 1879 and demand greenbacks for
it, and suppose there were $1,000
in gold lying in the treasury unem-
ployed. Under the system we al
vocate, it would be the duty of the
officer of the treasury to pay your
bond in gold, instead Of giving the
greenbacks demanded, and in this
way much Of the debt and interest
might be paid and future interest
avoided even before the bonds be-
came due.

TilGen'~ Railroad Connections.

The Radicals have been making a
great noise about Mr.. Tilden's cons
nection with tie st. Louis, Alton and
Terra Hante Railroad Company, which
they alleged was damaging to the char
aoter of Mr.. Tilden. Let them read
the following concerning the matter
from the New York Tribune, a Repnb-
lean paper, and then it will be in order
for them to dig up another lie on the
great Reformer:
The answer Of Gov. Tilden and other
defendants concerned in the st. Louis,
Alton and Terre Haute Railroad Com
pany transactions, is long, but perspic-
ous and to the point. 1t shows that
the Company was immensely benefited
by the accession of Gov. Tilden and
his friends to it's control. The trans
actions in the stocks were individual
acts and not those Of trustees. The
amounts paid Mr.. Tilden for legal ser
vices were for specific work done, and
his charges were less than they might
Justly have been made. In short, there
is no apparent occasion for the mud
throwing about this business, in which
some of Gov. Tiiden's opponents have
