Carl Schurz made q speech in Cincin-
natl on the 29th ult. In which the subjects
of hard times, contraction and initiation were
ably discussed. The following facts and
figures produced by him on that occasion
are not only interesting but valuable In
these days when people are liable to take
up with false notions in their anxiety to
achieve prosperity:
From time immemorial, aud 10 all couu.
tries, it has been the habit OF all politicians,
when the people were laboripg under bust.
ness depression and distress, such az has
been afflicted US for the last five years, to
charge those managing the affairs of the
government with the responsibility for it
all. Aad so they do now. When you ask
them to particularize their charges in our
case, they will tell you that the business
collapse of 1873 was brought on by q con-
traction of the currency that the govern
ment withdrew from the business of the
country the means with which to carry on
that business and that, therefore, business
broke down.
What are the facts? I have the official
tables before me. There was, Indeed, q
contraction of paper currency from 1865 to
1868; but the business collapse did not oc-
cur In 1868. It came five years later, aud
those five years between 1868 and 1873 are
generally regarded as years of uncommon
prosperity. Now, what happened with the
currency between 1868 and 1868? In 1868
contraction was stopped. In 1869 the
amount of paper currency outstanding was
$693, 946, 056.G1 in 1870 it was $.70O, 1885,
500. AZ; In 1871 it was $7l7,S $40, 551. 06: in
1872 1t was $685. ,903.52 in 1873 1t was
$3.50, 062 ,363.l4. THIS statement includes
not only the greenbacks, the national bank
notes, and the fractional currency, but also
the state bank circulation, the demand notes,
the one and two year notes Of 1868, and the
compound interest notes. True, il appears
that during several years preceding the
crash of 1873 the currency was not only
contracted, but very materially increased,
90 that in 1873 it amounted to over fifteen
millions more than in 1859. The fact,
then, stands thus: The currency was CON
tracted between 1865 and 1868, and several
years of prosperity followed. The currency
was expanded from 1869 to 1873, and the
collapse Of business occurred. 1t it were
true, as the in%t1ationists insist, that the in
crease or decrease Of the currency were at
the bottom Of our prosperity and depres.
sion respectively, VIC would have to answer
that, according to the clearly ascertained
facts of history, 1t was contraction that
caused prosperity and expansion that caus-
ed the collapse. l might even add that be-
tween 1873 and 1874 the currency was ex.
banded from $500 s 1854. "a to 1881 AGO..
GIG II that is to say, over thirty-one mil
lions, and yet the depression was not only
not relieved, but grew in distressing sever
ity.

THE PAVING CONTRACTS AGAIN.

The award of contracts for paving Four
teenth and East Capitol streets seems TO
hang fire, no doubt for the reason that the
Commissioners are little embarrassed to
find way out Of their dilemma under the
indefinite character of the tenders made for
the work. II would seem, under the cir
cumstances, that the only safe and Just
course for the Commissioners TO pursue is
TO declare the present letting of and re-
advertise for proposals under specific details
as to the peculiar character of the paving
required, so that there can be no room for
misunderstanding in relation thereto; or to
proceed to make the award under the
present bids in strict conformity with the
statute in such case made and provided.
We desire TO call the attention of the Com
missioners to the following provisions In
section five of the act for the permanent
government of the District of Columbia,
which may have escaped their notice:

under the provision quoted above it is the

Now that they enjoy full amnesty they

NATIONAL EDUCATION,

The Richmond StdtC Is IA bitter as 1t can
well be- and as offensive as IL knows how TO
be, inhurling epithets at General GRANT, OF
whom many people are so indiscreet rs to
make mention in connection with another
term of the Presidency. We extract from
its laboratory Of bitterness:
When men have held office they generally
want to hold II again but here Is u political
imbecile who has to be educated for the Prcsi-
dency every four years. The people, however,
arc tired of educating this pretended Ounce.
and are not to be deceived by his tricks or those
of his tribe.
Speaking of educating people recalls to
mind the fact that General GRANT had q
large class in hand for several years, which
he was educating up to respect for the
Union and the Constitution and love for
united country, which was closed, and much
too soon for the welfare Of the nation, at
| AppomattOx. II that school had continued
a few years longer, and our erring breth-
ren" had completed their education so that
! they could graduate with honor as loyal,
/ order-loving, law-abiding citizens of
/ the United States, and could accept
the legitimate results of the war
in good and honest hearts we should to-day
be "a band of brothers, living in peace
and quietness under our broad national
banner, in graceful obedience to the laws of
, the nation, instead of being broken in irag-
ments through the insane doctrine of State
| sovereignty. But General GRANTS school
closed too soon. Ills class was dismissed
when they were scarcely half educated up
to u standard of loyal subiection to the
laws, individual rights, and the peace and
welfare of the nation, and hence much of the
good fruits of that education have been
lost. A few more years of war, few more
lessons of loyalty pressed home by tire bay.
onet or infected by the bullet would have
prepared the class General GRANT had in
hand, and which was dismissed at Apo.
mattox, for good citizenship and cheerful
obedience to the laws, attended by proper
respect for the rights Of Others. The coun.
try suffers now for this peculiar kind oil
education, and il looks sometimes as il
the General might be called to open school
cation of these people, who have not yet
learned to respect the laws of their common
country, and the rights of their fellow-citi-
lcns, 1t is possible that Uncle Sau" may
engage the services of his most eminent
schoolmastcr in 1850, and then he will judg,
what system of teaching aud what charac'
ter of discipline will best subserve the ma,
tional peace and welfare. 1t is evident that
large class Of the people in the Southern
States are still ignorant of the duties, re-
sponsbilitics and equities of American citi
zenship, and one would suppose from it,
utterances that tho Richmond StHt is ar
exponent aud representative of that class.

The auything-tO-bcat-GRA campaign
