We have just received from Colonel
A. B. Meaeham, who is too well knovvD
in the Pacific Northwest to need any in
dorsement from home newspapers. the
initial number Of the Council Fire. a
monthly Journal published in Phila-
delphia, devoted to the interests of.the
Indian. The paper is ably edited, beau
tifuliy printed, and deserves far greater
patronage than it will ever get. We
wish the Colonel financial success in his
Utopian enterprise, and we opine that
be is far enough away from the noble
red man, as be is, to awaken some SYM
patbv for him in the minds Of INITIATED
as to what he ought 10 be.

IN A MUDDLE AGAIN.

just after the National papers of Toledo
had given up a good portion of their val
uable space for "the full text OF the mas
terly speech Of that finished scholar and
logical reasoner, Mr.. (Victor) Hugo Prey

puts it, and set up the claim that it was
a complete refutation of JOHN SHERMAN's
speech, a illogical reasoner" comes out with
a column article in the Bee and clearly
shows that PREYER's speech was not an
answer to SHERMAN's theories at all. He
goes on to define the money plank of the
National platform, as adopted at the
Wheeler Opera House in February last,
and claims that "the speech OF Mr.. Sher.
man cannot be considered other than
bold attempt, coup d'etat, of the honora-
bic Secretary and his party to plant them
selves squareIy on the money plank of the
National platform"
What a spectacle On one hand, We
have the National and Democratic papers
and speakers (who claim their platforms
are about the same thing on the financial
question: denouncing SHERMAN's speech
and financial policy in the most bitter
terms; while on the other, one who claims
10 be and writes over The signature of
True Nationalist - defines and convincing
ly shows that SHERMAN is firmly planted
on the financial plank Of the National
platform. This writer claims that "the
National leaders have utterly failed to
comprehend the situation;" that they
have allowed themselves 10 be carried of
on tangent lines from the real money ques,
iion, which must lead, ultimately, to the
total discontinue Of the National party"

Gen. DURBIN WARD is true to his con-
victions on the money question and will
not stullily himself to CRAFTY the Demo
cratic wanderers after strange gods. Here
is an extract from his recent speech at
Mansfield:
At the beginning of our late war the
whole paper currency was about 5000 ,000,-
600, and the coin in the country was about
S255,000,000, total of $457 900 900, or
1880 per capita. The Treasury books now
show in greenbacks, bank notes and frac-
tonal currency S684,000,0 900 outstanding in
paper currency, and S207, 900, 600 in coin in
the Treasury, to say nothing of gold and
silver in banks, in private hands and in
circulation. Taking the population at
100000 the Treasury account alone
gives S29.90 per capita. So that it will be
seen that, even deducting the half cent dis
count now on the greenback, the purchas-
ing power Of the present volume ol cur
rency, including coin and paper, is greater
than it ever was before in the history of the
country. speak not now of the irregular
and temporary issues OF the war, but the
regular currency OF peace. What the coun-
try needs, therefore, is not 80 much an in
crease in the volume of currency as an as
ured confidence in the stability of it's
volume.
As the editor of the Sunday Journal is an
admirer of Senator BLAINE, we would re-
spectfully call his attention to the accom-
panying extract from speech on tho
finances, delivered by Mr.. BLAINE at Bidde.
ford, Me, on Wednesday of last week:
We fanced during the greenback craze
that we were getting rich. In 1873 we found
out we had been buying $500, 100000 more
than we were selling. There is nothing so
mysterious about National fHances. The
same principles are involved in private
finances. Ii farmer ia buying more than
he sells from his farm he is growing poorer,
but il he sells more than he is buying he
is getting richer. Thi. idea holds good with
the trade of the country. Now things are
changed. We are buying the less abroad

600 900. No people in The world are so
well able to maintain specie basis rs the
United States, If they say they will, We
are Just IN sight OF The day OF redemption.
We can look right into the promised land, +,
but gresnbackers say, Don't go in; come
now and wander with us for years more.p

might as well by one shock of mighty
power paralyle capital from one end of the
country 10 the other. You reduce the
country from thst of a great commercial
people to a beggarly small retail affair.

wild schemes OF finance. What the United

Don't Like Ohio.

We have sickened of Ohio. We have
felt for n long time past, what with the
pretensions of that State, that if Ohio
should secede from the Union it would be
the heighth of folly, not to say of crime
to whip her back again. There has been
no moment of quiet moi hurst in upon by
William Aliens stentorian voice, and no
struggle with arms that has not been inter-
rupted by Mnrat Halstcad with the re-
mark, "Halt! till / show You how to
fight" The editors of Ohio are ALWAYS
quarreling, and the clergymen Of Ohio are
always doing wrong. The voice OF Ohio
is like Chinese gong laboring under the
impression that dinner is always Just ready;
and the religious element Of the State
cherishes the article OF faith that at the
judgment day the Angel Gabriel will blow
his horn principally for Ohio, and that a
clarion voice will finally remark, "Ohir
being fully represented the proceedings
will begin at once."-B Bu6aLo Erprcss.

A Rare Chance for Investment,

and they say, awe are in favor of an equit-
able adjustment of the public Indebtedness
and the issue of bonds in compromise of
the present debt" and further say, ave
point with pride to the fact that since the
accession of our party to power it has not
created a dollar OF debt" Nor is it very
likely that il will on these conditions. II
however, there is anybody who has money
TO lend, without interest, and, for the prin-
cipal itself, compromise shall be re-
turned, he should let it be known, for be-
side these Tennessee fellows who advertise
for loans in the name of Democracy there
is grent Labor party" which will take

Lord Bateman, member of the English
House of Lords, has the sAgacity to see
that, while England professedly and in
most things opens her ports to the nations
of the world, but few OF them follow her
example, and he makes the inquiry in
speech whether a return to a limited
protection, so far from being impossible or
undesirable, is not the true and simple sol,t-
tio9 Of our present difficulties, which will tend
in more simple and natural way than
any other to retrieve our losses, increase
our commerce, tighten our burdens, bring
peace, contentment and employment 10 our
working classes, and teach them and us to
bless the day which restored the old policy
and the old watchword of protection to ma
tive British industry ?"

Gin. Gazette: Mr.. Edward Atkinson is
recognized as one OF the clearest headed
political economists in our country. Ten
years ago lie predicted the business re-
action from which the country is still suf-
fering, and warned the mercantile cnni-
munity that it might expect fearful losses.
Having been so wise prophet in one di-
rection, one is tempted to believe in his
foresight in its opposite. In an article
contributed to the last number of the In
teraotionat ReuieU he declares til at the worst
is past that prices have reached the bot
tom, and that with the end of the premi-
um on gold our country can compete fairly
with other nations. The relations Of Ia.
b,r with capital and Redistribution of en-
ployment are not yet wholly settled, but
they soon will be, and the country will
soon be on the mp grade, 1t IL pleasant

Gin. Gazette: The object of the Inter
national Coinage Conference is n thing
which seems impossible to beat into the
heads of the silver dollarites, although it
is plainly laid down in the resolution Civ
ing authority to appoint Commissioner .
The object is not that which was uppermosl
with our silver ollartes-namely, TO
make dollar which shall he ten or twen-
ty cents cheaper than the dollar of gold, to
pay debts Without to find that proportion
of silver which shall make the coins of the
same denominations in the two metals OF
the same market value. If the conference
shall find that owing to the increased pro-
ductiOn of silver its fall is likely to be
permanent, and, therefore, an incrense in
the weight of silver coins is required to
make them equal to gold, then the resola-
tion inviting the conference commits our
government 10 that. This is the very
thing that the "gOld bugs" wanted to
precede onr issue OF n full legal tender

II is 1ot surprising that the National pa
pers of Toledo should seek to throw the
blame on others, or 80 so far as even to claim
that Secretary SHERMAN was not disgrace
fully treated in his attempt to speak in that
city. To a Sunday journal reporter belongs
the credit Of giving a true report OF the
shameful conduct Of large portion Of the
audience ON that occasion, aud Of cuurse il
would be drawn as mild as possible. The
reporter took printed copy Of the speech
and showed where Mr.. SHERMAN was COM
PEELED to skip over portions Of his speech
from frequent interruptions and many
voices asking questions at the ST. me time and
also where he was compelled to stop speak
ing, his voice being drowned out by the
Kisses, ieers and noise of the turbulent
crowd. 1t is not difficult to distinguish the
party affiliations of the disturbers of the
meeting from the senselcss questions pro-
pounded to the speaker, which occupy
nearly column OF the Sunday journal
Aside from this testimony number of our
citizens were present and knew the con-
duct to be even worse than reported. 1t
is sufficient TO disgust every man not
blinded by fanaticism in the two parties
engaged in the disgraceful conduct
