NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Washington Capital: An effort was
msdeast week, by the Hon. Tom Ewing,
Of Ohio, to repeal the stupid and mis-
chievous resumption act. This law is
proposition. on certain day not distant.
for the government to pay what it owes
to the people in the shape Of currency.
The government can no more pay this
debt than il can make John Sherman
a statesman or redeem its gold-bearing
bonds. The proposition thus to redeem
is but device to enhance the credit
Of the government for the benefit Of
Wall street, and TO give every man and
firm in doubtful condition legal ex-
cuse for bankruptcy. II Is q threat on
one side and mischievous imitation Of
unhealthy credit on the other.
