The Financial Problem.

When THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN came
under its present management, and the
change was announced to the public, the
following paragraph indicated clearly the
line Of policy it would pursue on the all
absorbing question of the monetary condi-
ton of the country;
The question of finance and currency Is
commanding more than ordinary attention
on the part of the people, and we cannot re-
frain from taking part in the future discus
siOns of this interesting aud important subject.
We shall contend for honest money, which will
secure to the people uniform par currency
throughout the country. We are in favor of
remonetizing silver, and making it legal
tender Of equal value with gold for all debts
due the Government and the people. We shall
advocate the issue Of greenbacks backed 10 the
national faith to an amount equal TO the wants
ofbusincss and trade, and which shall be re.
ccived the same as gold and silver for all dues
to the Government and individuals. This
would virtually bring resumption at an early
day and furnish the country with safe and
onyenient currency equal in every respect to
gold and silver, and much more desirable for
general business purposes.
Soon after this announcement Congress
convened, and, with a brief vacation has
since been in session. In its proceedings
the remOne tization of silver led off on the
road TO financial reform, and has since en-
gagged the attention of Congress and the
people, until the measure passed both
Houses and went to the Executive for his
approval. The contest over this question
has been prOtacted and severely embittered
This feature OF the struggle however, was

nonsense will ever reach the statute book.

This work of 400 pages, as stated by the au-
thor, whose emineuce in the scientific world
Is guarantee for the genuine value of the
production, is an attempt to treat paleontol-
ogy more especially from its historical side
and its more ultimate relations with geology
The Introductory portion of the work is de-
voted to consideration Of the general prin-
ciples of paleontology and the bearings of this
science upon various geological problems,
such As the mode Of formation of the sedimen-
tary rocks, the reactions of living beings upon
the crust Of the earth, and the sequence In
time of the fossilifcrous formations. The sec
ond portion Of the work deals exclusively with
historical paleontology, each formation being
considered separately, as regards its lithologi-
cal nature and subdivisions, its relations to
other formations, its geographical distribu-
ton. its mode Of origin, and its characteristic
fe-forms. In considering the characteristic
fossils Of each successive period, general ac-
count Is given Of the more important zoolog-
ical characters and their relations to living
forms but the technical language of zoology
has been avoided, and the aid of illustrations
has been freely called into use. The work
contains neerly 800 cuts or figures of ilustra
lions. 1t is believed that this book may b,
