Elsewhere we print n reply from Mr.
MANTON MARBLE to some comments of ours
upon his recent article in the North Amori-
cdH R,ric~ entitled currency Quacks and
the Silver Bill" II will be seen that there
is no dispute between Us in regard to the
impolicy Of substituting the silver dollar
for the gold dollar as the unit OF currency
value. We differ only as to the arguments
and more particularly as to one argument
which should be employed against the
measure. Mr., MARBLE, like us, would urge
upon the attention of our people and their
representatives. in Congress the mschicfs
that we are both certain will result from the
passage Of the pending Silver bill; but he
further insists on calling in writer's on po-
litlcal economy and presenting their opin-
ions against IL rs Il deterrent motive. Here
we part company with him. We contend
that the authority which he cites Is entitled
to no consideration, and that il should not
be- invoked In the controversy. We say that
political economy has not yet arrived at the
dignity Of an exact science, and that its pro-
fcssors are mere speculative theorists.
Among them all we do not know of one who
has proved his skill 10y the practical man
agpmCnt of the finances OF "A nation; and we
utterly refuse to condemn some Of them as
currency quacks, and olaud others rs rcgl-
lar doctors.
Mr. MARBLE refers, 10y way ofillustration,
to the bridge now in course Of construction
between this city and Brooklyn. There
would be pcrtinency in 30 doing If the cugl-
nccr In charge of that work owed his ap-
pointmcnt solely to the fact that he had
written an elaborate treatise on bridge
building But men in practical matters do
not choose their servants in this way They
require the demonstration of successful cXpe-
riencc before they accept professional man
as qualified for his business. Mr.. RoEBLING
the father who began the Brooklyn bridge,
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1878-01-06

ne well as his son, who is now building It,
had first to satisfy their employers that
they were competent to perform the task
required OF them. They pointed to what
they had done as an earnest Of what they
could do, and that evidence was regarded as
sufficient. Their bridges over the Niagara
and Ohio rivers were credentials that could
not be gainsaid. In like manner, when a po-
lltical economist comes along who has taken
in hand several nations financially cmbar-
rassed as ours is now and brought them out
into sovcncy and prosperity, he will he lis
tened to with respect. But the theorists
whom Mr.. MARBLE would have us follow as
guides have never been tested in this way,
and, therefore, they have no such claim
upon our confidence.
Mr.. MARBLE complains that we have ex-
aggcrated and ovcrstated his proposition.
He says. truly, that he confined his recon-
mendation that the American people should
bow to the authority Of profcsscd political
economists, to the single point of refusing
the silver dollar; and that he did not use the
words whether their reason approves II or
not" We cannot, however, see that any in
justice was done him in this respect. What
we objected to was the general principle OF
submission to authority I'm matters of
finance; and that principle is as
bad when applied to one point rs
when applied to many. Again. the
very act Of submitting to authority in In
tellcctual matters involves the surrender Of
the individual reason. When we accept
doctrine because somebody else asserts 1t,
and not because we see IL to he true our
selves we necessarily accept it whether
our reason approves 1t or not" We confess
that our own reason is unable to decide the
question, and therefore let another decide II
for us. That Mr.. MARBLE recols from the
logical result Of his own teaching is credit
able to his instincts. 1t also demonstrates
the unsoundness Of his argument
We take the opportunity to repeat our
conviction that the restoration to use Of the
silver dollar would be unwisc, and that it
would work great injuryto the country; but
we will not call those who advocate the
measure quacks, robbers or fools. We be-
lieve they are mistaken as to facts and prin-
ciplcs; but they must be convinced Of their
mistake, II at all, by reasoning and not by
the use OF opprobrious epithets. nor by the
weight Of celebrated names in financial
litarature

up the projected excursion rather than
bring modification on him by granting the
privilege OF her society to the other fellow,
thus ostcntatiously exhibiting a preference
which could not be otherwise than calling.
But why does our Virginia friend submit
this ease to us2 Does he wish THE SUN TO
say harsh things about lady of the Old
Domnion2 The best thing for him TO do Is
to first recover his tranquility and then
pleasantly and gracefully to ask her for an
explanation of her conduct II may be that
her feelings for him are SO affcctionate that
she fears that in four-mle drive. even
with his sister along as chapcron, she might
reveal their ardor, and she wishes to be
courtcd, not to court. Our advice to him,
therefore, is to use the opportunity this I'M
fortunate affair has offered to discover the
exact state of her heart. II she Is tickle, n
she is ilirt, and If she wishes to get rid OF
our correspondent In favor of the other fell
low. the sooner he learns her real character
and motives the better.
But women as we'll az men should stand
by their words even though they regret
having uttered them. A girl may cause a
fellow great sorrow and n modification he
feels unable to bear by behaving toward him
like n flirt; and really the stern moralist
can allow her no privileges in the way of
the breaking of promises which he will not
grant To men
We fancy, however, that II in this case
our Virginia friend acts toward the lady in
the spirit Of manliness and honor; tells her
as squarely as he has told us the story OF
his wrong and then pushes his advantage,
we shall have the pleasure before many
weeks Of printing the announcement OF the
marriage. But she must learn that girl,
as well as man, should faithfully keep her
promises.

The stupidity Of the Rich.

II the late failures Of fduciary nstitu-
tions. banks. and Wall street operators
teach rich men, at last To use common pru-
dencc in business matters, they will have
served good purpose.
The astounding facility with which pco-
pie Of means ntrust the management of
their estates to comparative strangers
lawyers, real estate agents. and others is
equalled only 10y the blind confidence with
which they follow the advice Of Wall street
brokers in making their investments We
must bc permitted to say that most ~ the
swindlng recently brought to light has
been owing as much to culpallc negligence
on the part Of stockholders depositors, and
others in interest. as to the criminal prac-
tccs ~ presidents, directors, trustees and
trusted agents.
We hear great deal about the strong
arm of the law, personal responsibility.
and wholesome change in public opinion.
Fraud anil pecuation can best be prevented

methods in doing business than are at
present in vogue Every prudent man
exercises careful watchfulness over those

In n word, he understands his own business.

politicians, their followers. dependents, and
rctainers enrich themselves at the expense
Of the people. And yet with all these facts
staring them in the eyes. they neglect their
political duties, abandon the management
Of their estates to others, and spend their
time, energies and money in an aimlcss
round of monotonous pleasures which event

lions Of life.
When misfortune ovcrwhems these peo-

which modern fortunes are cxposed-thcy
are for the most part utterly unable 10 fight
the battle of life Their frivolous occupa-
tons have disqualified them for those
steady laborious, and persistent efforts by
which their fathers accumulated the wealth
which the children are unable TO keep.
Should the compulsory process Of puri-
iication which our financial Institutions
and our Wall street flnancicrs are now
undergoing open the eyes Of the rich to
the absolute necessity of personal super
vision over those acting in liducinry capac-
ity or having charge of their estates and
money interests, it will do them good II is
trtc but true saying that if a man will not
take the trouble to manage his own affairs,
nobody else will do it for him. All he requires
is To look after his money! give an intel
ligcnt personal attention TO his affairs as
far rs possible, and keep a sharp eye on his
agents. II he cannot do this, he deserves to
be robbed
