Some notion of what protection will do
for an industry that is created under what
may be called artificial conditions may be
gained from the growth of the beet sugar
business in France. 1t was introduced by
lhe first Napoleon with the intent to make
Frenchmen dependent of the sugar sup.
ply from the British colonies, and it has
been, and is now, carefully fostered by the
French government. In 1867 the pro-
duct was 53S, 10000 pounds. In 1878 il
was 876. 100000 pounds, an Increase Of
34l ,00O. 900 pounds. Of this prod pct
France consumes only portion, lhe1 re.
mainder is exported principally to- Ebg-
land, where it is operating to break down
the English retiners, who are clamerlog
for protection. In the year 6rst named
the amount exported wasl6 900 900 pounds
in the subseq quent year it was over 10000
900 pounds, an increase Of 94,oOo,ooC
pounds. Thus a protective policy not
only enables France TO give to her Jowr
people ali the sugar they want, butto sell
millions of pounds to her neighbors.

WHAT WAS THE CONTRACT.

e -- n q b
Without, discussing the question Of hos
the 5>20 bonds, were to have been paid
we briefly state the Law, and the facts. He
that runs can read the act Of Feb. 25, 1862
commonly known as the Legal Tender act,
au .horized the issue of one hundred and
fifty millions of United States notes, and
declared as follows "" ,'I,,,.,,..,,. -
'such notes shall be receivable in pay
melt Of all taxes, internal duties, excires,
debts, and demands of every kind due TO
the United States, except duties on I'm
ports, and OF all claims and demands
aga inst the United States whatsoever, ex-
cept for "inlsrest upon bonds and notes"
which shall be paid in coin, and shall also
be .".Awfui money" and legal tender in
pay ment Of all debts, pubic and private,
within the Unit,,d States, except duties On
imports and interest as aforesaid aidr
The function, range and power Of the
greenback are thus fully described as "law-
full money" The second section. Of the
same act declares: 1pv-4..
ny ltThe Secretary of the Treasury is here,
by authorized to issue, onithe credit of the
. United States, coupon bonds, or registered
bonds, TO LahI amount not exceeding five
hundred millions Of dollars, redeemable at
the pleasure ofths United States after five
years, and payable twenty years from date,
and bearing interest at the. rate OF six per
centum per annum, payable semi-an-
nullIynAG IEDlH CIT" l''
Nota word il. The act refers 10 the pay
ment Of the principal of these bonds, and
The frst section above cited cleary shows
they were purchasable and redeemablei in
legal tenders. But if any doubt. existed
On this point, which is no longer in dispute
IT would be removed by the fifth sectie n,
as follows: .- '.'.3
"Thst all duties on imported goods shall
be paid in coin, or in notes payable on de,
mard heretofore authorized to be Issued
aud by law receivable in payment of public
dLer, and the coin 80 paid shall be set
apart as special fund.- and shall be ape
piled as follows: First. To the payment
IN coin of the 'interest' on the bonds and
notes of the United States" "~
This coin payment Of interest was the in
Gucement which was offered to the inves'
or, though Thaddeus Stevens declared i
Wis the pound of flesh of the extortione
when the country was suffering. 1t is Ger
tain that coin was provided for interest OF
these bonds, and for nothing else.
The act Of June so, 1854, authorized th'
Secretary of the Treasury to borrow, from
lime to time, on the credit of the United
States, four hundred millions of dollars
under the following provisions: =
"And The Secretary OF the Treasury may
dispose of snch bonds, or any part thereo
or Of any bonds commonly known as five
,wenlies remaining unsold, at any time, OF
such terms as he may deem most advisable
for lawful money" of the United States
tr, at his discretion, for Treasury notes
certificates Of indeb,e dncss, or certificate
If deposit Issued under any act Of Con
ir4ss." -. -

lowing authorh, to the Secretary Of the

Fourteen days after Gen. Grant became

at the cost ofthe taxpayer. The shregd
language of that artful law is worthy ofre-
production here: "s. -.

TO the purpose ofthe Government to dis.
charge all just obligations to the public
creditors, and To settle conflicting question
and interpretations oftRe law by virtue Of

that the faith Of the United Staies is, sol

The original bill was introduced in tn
House of Representatives by Mr.. Sehencl
of Emma Mine fame, on Mach y, 1869
| and was driven through without, discus
sion. Itpassed theSenate Marchrl5, 1869
after the Republican majority voteddowr
an amendment of Mr.. Thurman in these
| words: .
Provided, That nothing herein con-
iained shall apply to the obligations COM
monty called 5,20 bonds."a = Il q ..
1t must be apparent to any person that
the original contract between ithe people
and the bopdholders, excluded the idea q
paying the 5-20 bonds in gold. As tbe
constitution Of the United States forbidl
legislation to impair the obligation Of
tracts; there is strong equity in favor O
the position, assumed by these person
fwho maintain that the 5-2o's should b
paid off in greenbacks.

CATTLE.-The market this week was quite
tive as it last week and prices &c better gen.
orally, some operators marked the advance at Nc,
the advance being chiefly observable in the quail
ity OF the stock offered, which was not OF good
a grade generally as was last weeks offerings.
The wholesale market was better than that OF

to the extent of &c. We quote at 8 90 a IS 25 per

The YELLOW FEVER SUFFERERs.-T
Stonewall Brigade Band proposes to give a
concert early next week for the benefit of
the yellow fever sufferers. They will be
assisted by the best vocal talent of the city
and will present superb entertainment
It is time that our people were taxing some
steps to aid their afflicted brethren of tile
south. Too long has this duty been neg
lected. and we do hope ready response
will be made to this appeal and liberal and
substantial patronage be extended the en-
tertainment. Mere word sympathy avails
nothing to the parched lips and fevered
frame, and if we really feel for the suffering
ones in the plague-strcken districts, the
best way to evidence it is to send the means
with which alleviate the pangs of the fever.
This is matter which our City Council
should also take in hand, for help is needed
and should be extended.
