BAD TIMES THE WORLD OVER.
Has Contraction OF Money been the Cause
of il.

During the debate on the repeal of
the bankrupt law the other day, Mr..
Hewitt spoke of the universal distress
throughout the world brought about
through speculation some indus
trious men call it ''enterprise"0
I'VE are marching steadily and
surely (says Mr.. Hewitt) back to pros
perity. We are to-day on hard pan.
| was astonished to hear the gentle
man from Ohio MIR. Ewing and the
gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr..
Kelley PROFOUND the doctrines which
they have laid down here to-day.
They seem to think that the distress
in this country with the attendant
snrinkage of values is something local.
Let me tell those gentlemen that this
condition Of things exist all over the
civilized globe. In Great Britain,
where specie payments have not been
interrupted for long period, there is
the same shrinkage of values. In
France. where specie payments have
been resumed under scheme which
has received the unqualified approba-
ton of these gentlemen, there is great
commercial distress. In Germany,
where sound system of currency has
never been departed from. equal dis
tress prevails. The business depress-
ion and shrinkage of values are not To-
cal but universal. They are the reac-
ton from Il speculative era; and when
you have had an era of speculation
there is no remedy. but through much
tribulatiOn, through shrinkage,
through liquidation of Indebtedness,
to get back to the point where we can
begin upon the foundation ofsolid and
real values, and upon honest and true
money.
Mr.. Kelley avail myself of the
two minutes allowed me to reply to
the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Frye
and the gentleman from n. Y. (Mr.
HEWITT and to .ell them why prices
have fallen in every country, why ma
chinery is idle and the laboring peO-
pie of all countries are in poverty and
are unable to consume each other
productions or to contribute to the
revenues Of their government.
Prices, sir. the world over, had adj
justed themselves to the volume of
gold, silver. and paper money in cir
culation; and when Germany and the
United States thrust silver (Which was
about One-half of the metallic money
of the world) out of the category of
money metals, when Germany prohib-
tied the circulation of any bank note
under So, when the United states
contracted its paper money from two
thousand millions to practically less
than five hundred millions, they de.
creed the terrible shrinkage of prices
and consequent ruin which have taken
place thrOuhout America and Europe,
and thus deprived the laboring people
of the world of employment and of
the ability to earn the means to con-
tribute to Il. public revenues.
Mr.. Hewitt has put his theory in
the most forcible shape we have ever
seen 1t presented by any man sharing
in his belief; but Mr.. kelley's rejoinJ-
er. III our opinion, completely annlhl-
lateS the theory advanced and proves
to demonstration that contraction OF
the medium of exchange, on both
sides of the Atlantic. has been the
prime cause of the industrial distress
witnessed in Europe and America.

Senatorial Fees.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Tho recent
report of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany to tho Secretary of the Interior, show.
ing the expenditures of the company for
the years 1876 and 1877, contains some
highly interesting documents, which throw
good deal Of light on the present opcra-
tions Of that road, and the Central Pacifcs
Rallroad before Congress. 1t is now about
two years and half since tho movement
was first begun in Congress, to require
these roads to create sinking fund to in
dcmnify tho United States for their advances
ofinterest, and to meet tho principal of the
subsidy bonds. This IN ovcmcnt followed
soon after the United States Supreme
Court, at tho October term, 1875, decided
TINT the act of March 1878, did not change
tho terms of tho act or 1864, by which the
Government was allowed to retain onc-half
only of the compensation for services ron
dercd to tho United States, to be applied to
tho payment of the subsidy bonds. At the
session Of 1875 aud 1876 resolutions on tho
subject of indemnity to tho Government
wcrc offered iu the House Of Rcprcsopta-
tiycs, in which NIessrs. Lawrence, of Ohio.
and hnott, Of Kentucky, made q report on
the 18th Of March, 1876, with bill in
tended to protect tho Government Interests.
Similar resolutions of inquiry wcro brought
forward in tho Senate, and on May 26,
1876, Mr.. West, of Louisiana, mado q
report from the railroad committee, which
was decidedly in the interest of tho rail-
roads, and intended to protoot them in
their spoil. On the 18th of July, 1875,
Mr.. Thurman, in behalf Of the judiciary
committee, made. report recommending
bill similar to that now before tho Senate.
Owing to the lato period of tho season, and
tho pressure of Presidential election, this
bill did not como to vote, but Mt tho next
session, namely, 1876-77, the matter can,o
up again, though without results. At the
present session it has been ono of the
standing topics. All this time tho railroad
companies have been on the alert, bosioging
Congress, maintaining powerful lobby in
Washington, and bringing every imaginable
influence to bear upon Congressman, social,
political and athcrwiso. Congressman, both
poor and honorable, have boon unconsciously
captured by persons who wore sooretly tho
agents of tho lobby, and impressed with a
bias in favor of the railroads, who, if thcy
had waited for tho formal report of the
committee and tho careful sitting of facts
In debate, would have responded at once to
the cause OF justice and honesty. The
report of expenditures by tho Union Pacific
/ Company covers the period when tley havo
peen dreadlng action by Congress which
| would compel tho surrender of portion Of
their large earnings to form sinking fund.

Good Society.

Many parents who have sons and daugh-
tors growing up arc anxious for them to get
in good society. This is an honorable NIX
icty, if it intorprets good society after some
lofty fashion.
Parents, your daughtor is in good society
when she is with girls who are sweet and
puro and true hearted; who arc not vain or
frivolous; who think of something besides
dress, or flirting, or marriage; between
whom and their paronts there is conAdenoo;
who aro useful as we'll us ornamental in the
house; who cultivate thoir minds, and their
hands to skillful workmanship. If society
of this sort is not to bo had, then mono at
all is preferable to wosthloss article. See
to it that you impress this on your children,
and aboue all, that you do not encourage
them to think that good society is matter
of fine clothes, or wealth, or boasting to bo
somebody. AS you valuo your soul, guard
her against these miserable countcrfoits;
and impress upon her that Intelligence, and
simplicity, and modesty, and goodness are
the only loyal coin.
Tho samo rulo holds for boys as for girls.
You woud have these onter into good society.
DO not imagine that you have accom- plished
it when you have gotten them in with d sct Of
boys whose parents are woalthier than you,
who dress better than you or your boy can
afford to, aud who pride themselves upon
thcir social position. Good society for a
boy is the society of boys who arc honest
aud straight forward, who have no bad
habits, who arc earnest aud ambitious.
Thoy aro not in hurry to bo men. They
not ambitious for tho company of shallow,
hcartlcss women, old enough to be their
mothers and are not enyious of their friends
who fuucy there is something grand in dull
ling all The edgo of their hearts hopc upon
such jaded favorites.
There is nothing saddcr to SEQ either
young men or women priding themselves
upon tho society which they enjoy, when
verify it is @ Dead Seaapplo that will ohokc
them with its dust, whom they need some
generous, juicy fruit to cool their lips and
stay the hunger of their souls.

Not too young, and not too old.
