import have to pay $3.50. .0o0,00o in gold in
Europe for what they buy. Tho importer
sells his greenbacks and buys gold exchange
from the exporter; if he capEot get exchange
he buys the gold and sends that to Europe.
If the exporter cannot find sale for his e1-
change On Europe, he has the gold sent cnt
to him, which in time he sells for green
backs. Thus in the course of year green
backs are bought and sold for gold at the
rnte of $4,o00000 day, or to The amount of
$1,000, 600, 600 year. Greenbacks, except
previously sold at their value in gold, nre not
available in these immense commercial
transactions. Leaving the Government out
Of the case altogether, admitting that tho
Government should never require the use of
n dollar in coin for my purpose, the whole
foreign trade of the country wilt require the
purchase of gold with greenbacks. Or the
sale of gold for greenbacks, to the amount
of $1,000, 100000 {. yenr. And yet the
Greenbackers assume that the country has
no use for a metallic currency. but may
transact all its business in paper dollars nev-
CT to be redeemed.
Notwithstanding the notorious fa1sity of
all the assumptions, the glaring absurdity OF
all the arguments, urged in behalf Of this
paper-nloney system, this mountebnnk, dem
agogue, and brawling ignoramus, CARY: is
able to find men willing to '>ch,p in " their

they will reap the profits; if not, they will

Is there any other outlook for the working

maae because OF an inability to find elevator
1ac'iaes in Chicago without paying heavilv
there1or: on the other side, it is claime;7
that the Milwaukee i St. Paul, which con
trols ali the Milwaukee elevators with ona
exception, is trying to force grain from all
points where there are no competing lines
70 so to Milwaukee, and that if this roa3
wished to have the use of an elevator here
it could manage it eas1ly, either by an
arrangement with the Chicago j. Pacific, or
By erecting one of its own somewhere On the
long line of unoccupied river frontage. The
allegation that the Milwaukee i, st. Paul
cannot get into an elevator is sustained in
, 1877-09-16

part, for the Northwestern admits that it
will not allow the rival corporation to
use those which it controls. and it is
practically impossible to reach those near
the mouth of tho river; but there is no
question that if the road chose it could get
the right Of way to the river, and there erect
or have built for it IN elevator Of its own.
So long as it fails to do that, or onits to
make IN effort to do it, tue presumption
must be that it is trying to compel tho grain
growers Of. the Northwest to ship their prod
uce to city in which its managers have n
special interest, and where they control all
the elevators but one.

The comparative indifference with which
the contest at Creedmoor between the En-.
glish and American rlIe-teams, though
natural, has been observed with some sur
prise. There was time, when the Ameri.
can team went across the ocean, that there was
much excitement on the subject, and people
who Ind never handled rifle, even in a
shooting nggallery, waxed wnrm over the mer-
its OF the rival tennis and their styles of
shooting. But that warmth of feeling was
as short-1ived as most American emotions,
and the present strife does not cause heart
to throb or pulse to hutter,-at least in
the West. There is that interest which
always obtains where representatives Of two
nations are antagonists in any game or sport,
but it does not extend beyond n feeling Of
curiosity as to the result. It is gratifying to
know that the American team won, but it is
thesomo to read much concerning The de-
tails Of the shooting, and it would
not be heart-rending if the other
side were to carry off the laure1s.
All that the struggle appears to prove
is that this country can furnish half
dozen men who cau shoot more accurately
at oil ranges than the best six England has
been able to send over. Whether this is due
to the greater nerve Of the Americans, o bet
Ter style Of shooting, or their more thorough
acquaintance with the atmosphere, is some
thing the experts must sett tie it does not
change the fact that our fellows won. Nor
does last weeks shooting prove that John
Bulls representatives may not learn some
thing from their yictors, and come out ahead
when they again meet in friendly strife their
cousins hodwellon this side Of the Atlantic.

THE REPULSE AT pLEVNA

Thus far the Nnssinn storming parties al
Plevna have accomplished little or nothing.
The operations there resemble III some re.
spects the foolhardy aud wasteful attacks of
suLE1MAS Pasha Oh the Sclspka Pass. In
both instances the prize to be gained was q
tempting one. but i'll both also it was laue.
ing out Of the reach Of ordinary human ef-
fort. Tentative movements might have dis
closed the real strength of the enemy in
| each instance. and saved many lives us we'll
as preserved the morale OF the attacking
armies. The Russians before Plevna must
suffer not merely from actual casualties in
the field, but from n dlshearteniug feeling
among the soldiers that Fate itself is against
them.
If there is one lesson this war has taught
more oHectually than any other it is the de-
ely OF the old method Of carrying intrenchcd
camps by storm. Mere enthusiasm Is but q
poor substitute for strength, and the glory of
dying in the front rank does not compensate
for its disadvantages. Naked vnlor and elan
cannot carry the day against an army under
cover with breech-loaders in their hands,
AAAS UtAbAG l. AC* uh Ill luE EHT1GuS
attacks during the last ten days must have
been frightful. Col. WELLESLEY says that
the Grivica redoubt visited by him was
heaped full of dead and wounded, and this !
was, at last accounts, the only position which
the Russians had been able to hold. This
reads marvelously like the story OF the first
battle Of Pleyna.
It the Russians do not soon retrisve them
selves, they must give up all hope Of carry
ing flevna with the present force at their |
command. Indeed, it looks now as if they
had already arrived at this sensible cpuclu-
sion, and resolved to mask the town until
the army Of the Czarowitch is either re-
leased or driven back. Meanwhile, all pc7-
sons interested in the war will wait viii,
anxiety for reports from the Jantra and the
LON. The Junction of Su1E1s1AS and Me-
HEdET may be effected at a:,y' time. n1d q
pitched battle will follow between them and
he czarowitch. It is likely to be a Sedan
or one side or the other. Not much
Importance need be attached at present
q the report that OsMAx Pasha has

| gave them publicity to the injury OF the
| bank, would be held pecuniarily responsible
in libel suit. Had TuE Tribune published
| such rumors, in spite Of the denial and warn-
ing, and had the publication thereof precip-
itated panic among the deposltors, a run
OIL the bark, and the enforced suppression
Of IN institution tllat might have continued
to meet its obligations If allowed to pursue
the usual line Of business, The TRIBUNE
would have been mulcted in damages for
pretty much NIL it is worth. There is no
legitimate demand upon newspapers to take
such perilous risks as this, aud they will not
do it. Indeed, tho newspapers arc more
fairly open to the criticism of cutting too
closely aud diving too deeply in private and
business adairs than to complaint because
they do not reckless'y give currency to all
the street run,ors and club gossip that come
to the ears Of their reporters md representa-
tives.
The assignment of the Stata Savings was
madeon Tuesday, and published Wednesday
morning. We do not believe that any news
paper could have safely attacked the credit
Of the institution before the preceding Fri
day or Saturday, when the runners Of trouble
began to take form aad circulate Even
then SPENCER gase the most emphatic denial
to the reports, and insisted that the bank
could and would 80 right along, and the pub
lie announcement Of an inevitable collapse on
either day would hnye been risky business.
But wherein would such publication have
helped matters, if it had been then made?
What good would it havo done had The
TRIBUNE in case it had been in possession OF
information to warrant the statement, an
nounced on the previous Friday Or Saturday
that the estate :" was weak, and likely to
close my day? Such nows would not have
benefited any deposition one penny, but
might have gotten The TRIBUNE into serious
trouble. Suppose, acting upon some street
runor, Tue TRIBUNE had expressed its
opinion at the time of the July
run on The Chicago savings banks
thnt the 'tState" was in danger. Such
en announcement would only have
brought Oh a panic at that time, might hayo
dragged in other banks that are solvent, aud !
in the end would only have anticipated in |
the case Of tho State Savings the events Of q |
mouth later without changing the result. In |
one word it is the province md duty Of n |
to chronicle facts and events as !
they happen, and not to traffic in predictions |
or reckless rurnors affecting private business;
but, III The case Of the State Savings Bank,
