THE CURRENCY.

"We need more circulating medium"
says an exchange.
This Is acknowledging business stagna-
tion-the invariable result when the pa
per money bubble has eliminated and
collapsed. Gouge, in his History of
American Paper Money" confirms this,
and remarks, that the "perilous use of
paper money invariably ends in making
real money scarce" because it impover-
ishes and robs business and labor.
1t is first, expansion; then over activity
and extravaganza in every direction, un-
til exhaustion comes, the bottom falls
out, panic is widespread, stagnation, dis
tress, and long years thereafter of suffer-
ing toll in all departments of business
and labor. So it repeats-"the same re.
hearsal of the Past"
Last week we illustrated by water rum
ming and water stagnant. The moving
stream is powerful for good-not 30 the
stagnant water. So with the currency /;
if sound, with reliable, inherent value,
1t commands and inspires confidence,
and moves actively from hand to hand,
driving briskly the wheels Of business
and trade.
We do not believe in the-hair of the
dog curing the bite. Folly cures not fol-
ly. A repetition of wrong only makes
bad, worse. The mistake consists in gov
ernment interfering with values and bu-
siness, by the fallacious systems of paper
money and tariffs for protection. These
are only schemes of those who would use
government as an instrument for their
own selfish purposes.
The wise and good of all times have
opposed thus hampering by absurd laws
the energies ofman. Over legislation in
all ages has been the obstacle to human
progress. The true objects of govern
ment are wofully misconceived. These
are few and simple. Mr.. Buckle, in his
History of Civilization" distinctly says,
that ito maintain order, to prevent the
strong from expressing the weak, and to
adopt certain precautions respecting the
public health, are the only services which
any government can render to the cause
of civilization"

THE rebels of Peru had an iron-clad,
the Huascar, and she had an engagement
on May 2Sth with the government iron
clad frigate, Independence, which lasted
an hour and half, till dark ended it.
The Huascar retired during the night.
The Independence lost two men and her
smoke stack, The evening Of the next
day the Huascar, out atsea from Ilo, was
attacked by two British ships, the Shah
and Amethyst, for depredations on the
Royal mail steamers; in stopping and ta-
king coal from them. The Huascar re-
tired, and next day surrendered to the
Peruvian government commander. This
is the first engagement with iron-clads
on the Pacific ocean. When news of the
British vessels having assaulted the reb-
ell Huascar reached Lima, the capital, ia
tense excitement was raised among the
natives against the British colony in that
city. For time a general tumult and
bloodshed was feared, but troops were
brought and dispersed the rioters.

THE OHIO CANALS.

The Lessees of the State Canals have
given notice that after the first of Decenn-
ber next, to which time they have paid
rent, they will abandon those canals to
the State. The reason given is that the
State has taken from them large basin
at the Cincinnati end of the Miami Canal
and permitted the citizens of Hamilton
county to drain and fill it, thus termina-
ting the canal about mile from the city
docks Also while ago the Legislature
permitted the Cleveland end of the Ohio
Canal to be considerably curtailed, al
though the Lessees as yet have the use
of the portion surrendered by the State
to the city.
The Lessees claim the agreement was
for the canals as they were at the time Of
making the lease, which runs until 1881,
and as. the State has seen fit to materially
change the condition of the canals with
out securing the consent of the Lessees,
the contract is no longer binding on the
latter.

HARASSING HAYES.
Pennsylvania Republicans Disguised at His
Order-KembIe ReUeob Some Interesting
cret8-Money Raised IN Philadelphia
Sent TO Hayes Direct.

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-Leading Re-
publicaus here do not conceal their dis
gust at the order of Hayes divorcing OF
fee holders from party politics. Among
the most outspoken is W. Ii Kemble.
He says the order is palpably insincere,
and gives this revelation Of the inside
workings of his party: "Some time ago
Mr.. Schurz wrote out fine speech,
which he agreed to deliver three times a
week for $500 per week for us, and we
took in in Pennsylvania to the extent OF
$500. We raised the money, and partly
by contribution from Republicans Of
means, but Mr.. Schurz didn't stop to in
quire who paid the money. Hayes had
everything at stake in carrying ONO IN
October of last year. Had he lost that
State there would have been Tilden
whirlwind in November that would have
swept not only Ohio but Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Nevada, Oregon and Cali
fornia. Only by President Hayes and
his friends appealing to us for money to
put into the contest. Secretary Sherman
and Governor D6nuleOu WlONO OhO hlC"N
imnortunate letters to US for money. The
State that gave US Civil Service Presi-
d mt. a Cabinet officer and any number
of other oHicials-practiCal civil service
so far as not to pay their own money tc
the campaign, but they called liTfN
Pennsylvania to do it for them. Secre'
tary Sherman then appealed to men
whom he knew had profted by the gov
ernment, received money from them,
and has since rewarded the parties by
profitable contracts. As to the President
his case is worse. We made assessments
here in Philadelphia on the office hol-
ders, every dollar of which was sent to
Ohio, in addition to other large amounts
sent there, and some Of which was sent
directly to President Hayes himself. 1t
would be unchartable to say that the
President since used the money for po-
Utica purpose, as any other used of it
would be breach of trust that would
warrant the Pennsylvania politicians in
calling upon him for an account rendered
Then in 1875, when President Hayes was
dragged through Ohio by the ears, the
same appeal was upon us, the same
measures employed to raise money to
save him and liberal contribution was
made from this city, just on the eve OF
the election, that bad much to do with
his narrow escape from defeat"

get out of the way and commenced shoot

The lady who killed herself and her

wife of John Burrill, a wealthy real estate

GENERAL BUTLER AND THE INTER-
TIEWERS

Gen. b. F. BUTLER seems destined to be
victim of misrepresentation at the hands
of INSCRIPTIONS interviewers, and one can
scarcely blame him for feeling annoyed at
the apparent deliberate peversion of his
uttennces. Some of yesterdays papers con-
tanned dispatch from Washington pur-
porting to give an interview between the
General and "A delegation of citizens of the
District of Columbia" in which he was
represented as first-class sore-head, and as
indulging in sarcastic remarks concerning
President HAYEs In conversation with
representative of THE REPUBLICAN yester-
day in relation to that interview, Gen. BrTLER
makes that delegation" dwindle down
to two men, who in the first instance oh
tanned access to him by a false representa-
ton. When the true motive of their visit
became known he "poked fun" at them, and
then they distorted and embellshedn the
conversation. BUTLER seems to know them,
and it would be well for them to take his
advice and "wear thick pants, with leather
seats,' if they call again.
On one point Gen. BUTLER was emphatic,
and that was that he did not propose to
make war on President HAYES administra-
| ton,
