We must conclude that the President has
fallen into very strange error. He in

outstanding shall be paid in nothing but
gold, and in another place that silver may
he employed to bring about specie pay
ments, presumably by redeeming green
backs in that kind of coin. Are not our
greenbacks part Of the public debt, and is il
fair to pay them of in silver when the lat
ter coin is not good enough for the holders
of other forms of Indebtedness? In other
words, are We to have one kind of money for
the people who hold the greenbacks and
another for the nabobs who hold the bonds
Is the debt on which We pay interest more
sacred than that on which we pay nothing

few days ago by the New York Sun, and the
President goes further and fares worse as to
the silver question, which We regard as q
great mistake on his part, and misfortune

able TO master the silver question. 1t is
possible that he may be better informed BY

NORTHWESTERN CITIES.

Peabody and Florence.
FLORENCE, KAN, November 80.
EDITOR TIMES Wichita, the metropo-
lis Of the Southwest, is the third city in
the State in the way of business, and has
the same dash and spirit which character
lied it during those palmy days when Led
ford was king and when the reign Of terror
was the acknowledged form Of government.
Wichita is fast. She don't pretend TO deny
that soft impeachment, but not in the way
in which people who have never visited
there suppose it to be. Her
business men are fast, fast
enough to take the wind completely out Of
the sails OF their competitors; business Is
done fast, simply because that is the only
legi;imately recognized way to do 1t; Peo-
pie live and die fast because that's the Gus
tom of the country. Wichita commands
an immense trade, a trade none OF her rivals
can rob her OF, while each day she Is taking
away from her rivals trade they in reality
ought to command. 1t Is refreshing To
soiourn in a town like Wichita; everything
and everybody are on the 60; the streets
are crowded with teams from the country,
everything denoting prosperity, push, vim.
energy and enterprise amazing to see. There
is nothing of the mushroom in the growth
of the town, it Is permanent; the business
blocks and residence bear evidence of this.
The hotels, the Douglass Avenue and Occi-
dental, up town, and the fremont, newly
furnished and first-clas- in every particular,
down town, near the depot. are conducted
upon a metropolitan basis, are the peers OF
suy in the state Wichita is we'll of for
hotels, and has reason to be proud Of the
recommendations she can afford the travel

(Omaha Bee, Dec. Il

President Hayes is not disposed to favor

himself liable to being Justly censured fou

bondhOlder is the subject OF execration
lien, the bondholder would be ''they of the
household" and not the Wall street banker
or the foreign capitalist alone, who it Is &c
popular to-day to denounce, and not with
out cause.
We ask that Wall street, the Rothschilds
and the Earrings shall no longer have the
entire control of our financial legislation
and when l charge that our legislation has
been in the interest of the capitalist and
the dealer in money, charge that which I
can prove from the record, and challenge
successful contradiction.
A careful review of our financial legisla-
ton will show, think, clearly why there
is such = widespread distrust Of the advice
which lie 30 freely offered from our none
tary centers in reference to the Management,
Of the national finances. 1t was this advice
that secured the repeal Of the old funding
feature of the Law authorizing the issue OF
legaltender notes. and set the greenback
adrift in the world with no acknowledged
parentage.
The $40 bonds authorized in 1862 were
mostly sold in 1864. During the large
part of that year the legal-tender note was
worth les than fifty cents, and for Dor
ton of the year they were worth thirty.
eight cents In 1869 the act 10 strengthen
the public credit was passed, BY which il
was declared that all debt obligations Of
the United States shall be paid in coin, y
"uniess expressly provided that the same
may be paid in lawful money OF other cur
rency than gold and silver"
Bonds which had cost forty, fifty, and
sixty cents in gold rose rapidly to par
Twelve per cent. interest on the investment
was realized, and the principal was doubled.
This was oae of the Contingencies of the in
vestment, the other was in contemplation
of the posu6le failure Of the Union arms
and the loss of the entire amount loaned.
These SO bonds were sold in the dark
days Of the Union cause. 1t was
their due. They took meat
risks, and being succe.ful they are
entitled to the full face value of the oblie.-

Reduce the sum in which the notes shall
