CONDITIONS REQUISITE FOX A SOUND
CURRENCY.

French aSsigndts, Continental paper
money, and Confederate currency all read
the same lesson, and teach the folly of mis-
taking the measure of value for value itself,
or Of dreaming that there is any way of
circumventing the laws of nature. Nothing
for nothing is natures law as well as mans.
Wealth is the product of labor, and nothing
but labor will produce wealth. That ma
ton can be made rich by a printing machine
is as great folly and OF the sime
kind us that the value of that
which is used AZ money is wholly depend
ent upon its intrinsic value irrespective Of
its use rs money. Now, there are many
people who see and readily admit the first
of these Glllacies who cannot see the last
one at all. Failing to comprehend the ma
ture or function of money, rs money only,
they think that the intrinsic worth Of coin,
for expectation makes its sole value as
money.
The passage Of the silver bill has been Of
great value incidentally, first, in that it has
demonstrated the futility Of the evil prog
nostications of those who 50 bitterly opposed
it, They are clearly shown TO he not infal-
lible authorities on finance. Secondly, in case
the resumption law is unrepealed the coin
age Of silver must somewhat relieve the
evils that seemed inevitable if resumption
was attempted on gold basis. Thirdly,
the example and fact of the use of silver by
the United States rs money will contribute
t. restoring the balance between the metals,
disturbed by the recent action Of Germany.
SO far 50 good; but it is our duty to warn
our readers that there is not in this bill
much prospect of any immediate rclieffrom
| the evils Of false legislation under which the
people of this country have been for so lon !
suffering.
While redundancy ofmoney is not wealth
as would he just ~ readily seen with any
kind of money, with gold and silver Just as
surely as with paper, provided from any
cause the gold and silver should be kept il
the country. Still for prosperity, certain
monetary conditions are essential. Their
is first certain amount Of money needed

secondly, there is requisite the establishment
in the minds Of all people of confdcnc
that that necessary event will not be un

both of which conditions being met, al
that mere money the machinery of bar
ter" can accomplish has been done. Thes
two provisions it is within the province o
the Government to provide, and these ar
the first pressing financial duties. Thel

A COMMITTEE of Congress has under con-
sideration claim for services rendered
while the claimant was undergoing punish
ment at the Dry Tortugas for his connection
with the assassination of President LIN
COLIN. Some Of the spiritualists should COM
municate with the other world and ascer-
tain if this kind of conciliation is approved
there, and if it is not little in advance of
the times. The fact of the demand, its re-
ceipt and serious consideration by Congress
without comment, is pregnant subject for
thought and does it not indicate what may
be expected in the good time coming"
when the whole country is under tile con-

party again comes into power? The history

Fist Auditor of the Treasury. This posi-
tion is by no means sinecure. The occu-
pant cannot spend his time in frivolous
amusements, as some heads Of departments
do. The duties TO be performed are varied
and intr cate, requiring capacity, large ex-
perience, aptitude for the work, and close
application, as may be inferred when II is
known that the Auditor has personally,
with the aid Of Deputy, to pass upon oil
accounts accruing in the Treasury Depart
ment except internal revenue), receipts and
expenditures Of the customs service, includ-
ing fines, emoluments forfeitures, deben-
lures, drawbacks, marine hospital service,
revenue cutter service, salaries of mar
shals, district-attorneys, commissioners, and
clerks, rents, support of prisoners, redemp-
tion of the public debt, including principal,
premium, and interest," payment of inter-
est, redemption of certificates Of deposit,
notes and currency destroyed, accounts OF
custom-houses, mints, and assay offices, Ter
ritories, coast survey, salaries and contin-
gent expenses of the legislative, executive,
and judicial departments of the Govern
ment, construction, repair, and preservation
of public buildings, Treasurer Of the United
States for general receipts and expenditures,
and an almost innumerable variety Of ir-
regular accounts So multifrious are the
duties of this office that the late Auditor,
one of the most efficient Bureau officers ever
in the Department, in the absence of the
Deputy Auditor invariably discharged the
duties of both positions, because it was i'm
possible to supply substitute.
HENRY X. SEAvER, the present Deputy
Auditor, has all the requisite qualifications
for this position, and ifthere is any honesty
in the cry of civil-service reform, should bt

Put tie workingmen to work! This is
the cry of all parties the country over. One
way, and a bad one, to respond to it is to
continue the niggardly policy now in vogue
of refusing proper encouragement by the
National Government to our languishing
industries. Another way, and better one, is
to grant that encouragement under proper
restrictions. Take the ship-building inter
est, for example. 1t is dropping now as it
did during our civil war when our flag was
swept from the oceans of the world by
rebel cruisers, or withdrawn as the result
of commendable personal caution. At any
rate, there is only one ship-yard Of any i'm
portance in the country, that at Chester
Pa, now busy and giving employment tc
labores. How this employment benefits
the workingman is plainly demonstrated by
the fact that the material used in building

ago, was lying in the bowels Of the earth

II is agreed that the Democrats are not to

money is appropriated by Congress. We

sumo the accounts of that expense are all

OF Congress. 1t is not, perhaps, unreasona-
BILE that the public should be informed
what proportion of these charities are ah-
sorbed by their almoners. If any one thinks
the disbursement is too expensive, let the

THE Democrats in the House yesterday,
