An intelligent gentleman writes as
follows to the Pioneer Press
you seem little surprised in your

again flowing out Of the country. But
when we think ofthe immense amount
Of the funded interest-bearing debt Of

the little stock Of gold there is in the

JAMES WATERS.
Saltwater, May 10. 1877.
To which the P p. sapiently re-
plies:
sWe don't suppose the debt of the
world had much to do with the out
flow of gold. One cause was the in
crease Of imports and the decrease Of
exports, The imports for last week
were 81, ,lS8, ,l55, against S5 ,052, 744 last
year, an increase of 30 per cent; while
at the same time the exports were
only 4,59l 1867 against s8,598.380 the
corresponding week Of last year
Well let us admit that whenever
the imports Of the country exceed the
exports, gold will go mp; and how
are you To keep this country on a
specie basis When the crops fail
and we have nothing TO ship abroad
then gold will rise: whenever pros
perity increases and the wealthy are
importing largely gold will rise; when
ever foreign awar breaks out, gold
will rise. BY what species Of legisla-
tion will you prevent these things
from happening 7 And when they
happen how will you maintain the

We have changed our opinions upon

we hope never to reach that period of
mental ossifcation when we will be
incapable Of unlearning our mistakes.
But upon the bond question we have
had no change OF opinion. We have
opposed heretofore specific plans of
settlement, but never the plan now
under consideration. We opposed the
former plans because they would have
given the bondholders the whole
amount due; we favor the present
proposition because it peduces the
debt one-half.
And now we put this prediction on

The Ohio Legislature has taken
similar action ills based on that
provision Of The constitution of the
United States which declares that ''no
State shall make anything but gold
and silver legal tender in the payment
Of debts.' This implies that any
State shah have right TO declare gold
on silver legal tender; and the States
of Ohio and Illinois are acting under
that reserved right.
1t is q disgrace to the nation that it
has repudiated silver, and declared it
not to he legal tender, for sums over

THE LEGITIMATE RESULTS.

.'Burleigh. the New York cor.

writes even more dolefully of the con
dition of affairs in New York than the
correspondent Of the Springfield Re.
publican. whose lamentations were
printed in Sunday paper. .'Burleigh'
says:
The oldest men dealing in stocks say
that such a decentralization has never

of real estate.

Improvement Lands, would say that
the non-lahoring and specializing class
OF men feel much relieved from the
burden and responsibility of paying
the bonds, by considering that the
poor, hard-WOrking frontier farmer
will have to earn and pay the millions
that the lands will sell for. Horace

self, wife and family dig and delve 20
years to raise the money to pay for it.
1t is the poor man that has to do it,
and farmers only. 1t is but another
device to lay the burdens on the back
OF Iadustry for the benefit of tSpecmlo-
tire capital. True it is, these lands
are to be sold as the school lands. but
in respect to those the pioneer is
cheered with the thought that his
own children are deriving some benefit
from what he pays to the. .State; for
after what he pays has passed through
several hands, and is tolled by the
manipulation of officials, it is then
divided with his city cousins, and a
diminished moiety comes back to him
for purposes Of education-but in re-
lation to the 100000 acres Of land
