THE real "hard money" people are the
advocates of gold and silver. The ''sin-
gle gold standard" people are now clam
oring for greenbacks and some of the
banks threaten not to receive silver
money on deposit. Their object, no
doubt, is to get all the gold that is in the
Treasury and keep it-not pay It out for
fear they will not get it back and hence
they don't want silver. But without sill
yer how can they redeem their notes in
specie ? At last the 'single gold stand
ard" humbugs have turned "greenback-
ers."

The New York sun notes the fact
that the foreign trade Of the United

lars In 1867 American ships carried
$5l0,000,O00 out of a foreign trade OF
$723,00O,000. In 1877, with foreign
trade va ued at VI, ,l73, ,000, 900, we carried
only $}l5,0OC, 900, or nearly two hundred
million dollars less: than twenty yeais
before. The rapid absorption of our
trade by England dates from the time
when she repealed her navigation laws
and permitted her subjects to buy ships
wherever they could buy them cheapest.
When the civil war made our vessels
bad property, the English improved
their opportunity to take at once our
vessels and Our trade. We can now
build iron steamships nearly or quite as
cheaply as any other nation, but il we
were permitted to buy them wherever
we could get them better or cheaper,
we could do better still. The SUMS
remedy for our trouble is very simple
one, to-wit "Impose a discriminating
duty on imports by foreign ships" Such
tariff might accomplish the end desired,
but 1t is open to the objection that the
money premium thus paid on freights
in American bottoms would come out OF
the pockets of people who have enough
to do to look after their own bread and
butter without providing it tor other
people Besides, the disabilities placed
upon foreign shipping unloading freights
In our ports would Inevitably be retorted
upon US. We cannot expect from rival

NOVEM BER Ie 1875.

THREATENING AGAIN.-Ine Repuli-
can party has enjoyed all the offices of
the government for seventeen years have
plunged the people into several thousand
millions of debt to keep the leaders in
office, and now they are heard threatening
war or something worse if they are not
permitted TO hold the Offices longer. For
war or something of the kind is what
they mean by talking of the "Solid
South" They kept the South solid with
the bayonet as long as there was any,
thing left for them to steal, or as long as
people of the North were willing to bear
the expense of an army to keep such
thieves as Chamberlain, Ames, Kellogg,
Holden, Scott and others in power. The
worst elements of this party, the friends
of such men, threaten dire vengeance
again of some kind unless the people of
the South vote to keep their rapacious
partizans in power ; or, in other words,
divide among themselves in such a way
as they cannot protect their own inter-
ests, and thus allow the scoundrels they
have Just chased out to creep in again
and array the negroes against the whites,
and give the carpet-baggers or scalawags
another opportunity TO rob and ruin. All
such threats should be treated with in
dignant scorn. A state of war is better
than such a state as the South suffered
for some years after the war. If the north
ern Demagogue attempts to get into
power in that way let him know that he
cannot do it. The South are either in
dependent States holding all the rights
that the States in the North do, or there
is no Union under the Constitution. Be
fore the war, just such threats were being
continually made by the Abolition jour
mails, which repeatedly expressed wishes
for a separation unless slavery was abol-
ished; and it will not be long before the
same class of politicians will be demand
ing separation unless they are permit
ted to continue their control of the Off
eial patronage of the country. This mis-
fortune-and it is a misfortune-arises in
great part from the immense salaries paid
to officers for very little labor, and the
great sums of money yearly paid to
thousands of men who are not needed to
the proper conducting of the government.
50 long as men can live in such luxuri-
Gus style, and make such vast sums OF
money from office, so long will the peo-
pie be troubled by such exciting contests,
and all manner of threats be INDUCED in
unless the schemers are allowed to secure
this heavy pay. These heavy salaries de-
stroy all patriotism. The love of gain is
what controls such men as the Sher-
mans, Blaine, Chandler, Wells, and the
numerous thieves of the Credit Mobiler
and Presidential fraud stamp. The South
should give no heed to them, but make
their States as solid against fraud and
dishonesty as it is possible to have it,
There is no fear of war or disunion OF
any Of the dire calamities the rascal,
Shylocks are so given to insinuate.

Some months ago the CoUtmcrciat de-
scrbed series ol experiments made
IN tins city with the view Of demon
strnting the praetleability Of using the
immense water power at niagara Falls
for transmitting power to this city
through the agency Of compressed air.
As stated at the time the experiments
Were sufficiently successful 10 convince
several OF our enterprising citizens that
the scheme WAS feasible. A company
has since been formed, Of which Scna-
tor Pierce Is president, considerable
capital has been paid in, and practical
operations have been begun.
The principal part or the machinery
will be located near the waters edge,
