MONEY.

Gold and silver are the constitu-
tional money of the country, but they
do not exist in sufficient quantities
to supply us with an adequate cir
culatirg medium; and if they did,
there are certain forms Of exchanges
which could not conveniently be eff
fected without the aid of paper cur
rency. Paper currency we always
have had, and always must have. Now
then, what kind of paper shall it be?
Shall it be National Bank paper. up
on which we must pay double inter
est, or government paper, which frees
us of the interest of so much of the
debt as will circulate in that form?
The National Banking system consti
tutes political oligarchy, more pow
erful than the old bank oligarchy of
'36-almost as powerful, and in time
likely to become more so, than was
the slave oligarchy. Government
money obviates this danger. 1t is
said that if the governments permit
ted to enter into the business of sup
plying the country with currency, its
officials will abuse the privilege. Well,
Grant had Cabinet full Of men who
abused their privileges, who were
nearly all convicted thieves; but is
that any reason why we should do
away with Cabinets2 Thereare some
times post-oflice heads and employees
who abuse their trusts, rifle the mails,
pry into other peoples business, and
become embezzlers.H But who,i save
fools, are therefore anxious that the
government should be estopped from
distributing the mails and contracts
and to distribute them awarded to indi-
yiduals or corporations? Once in q
great while we hear Of money orders
going astray through the post office
But is the system, nevertheless, not
an excellent one? Could the $685.

Our theory in such matters is this
-that II there'is any business affect

An analysis Of the vote at the last
election W II show that large majority
of the people in most Of the Northern
States are dissatisfied with the Repub-
lican financial policy, and bent on its
change. They are OF united, and thus
the Republicans, through division and
by the causeless Southern scare, made
great apparent gains; but they are not
real. The Sherman policy will be
weaker in the next Congress than in
the present one, and it will be especial>
ly weak in the Senate, which has been
the stronghold Of its strength hitherto.
Nor will these questions be removed
should specie resumption prove per-
manent and not a temporary success.
The one question whether the Govern
ment or the banks shall furnish the pa
per currency needed for the business Of
the country will remain. The Demo
Gratis insist that the Government shall
perform this duty, and the Republicans
that the banks shall. But there is ev-
cry indication the Republicans will go
a step further, and not only demand
the retirement of the greenbacks in the
interest Of the banks, but will assail
the double standard of gold and silver,
and insist on n return to the single
standard. The Eastern section of the
party viii be satisfied with nothing less
and it is given out that John Sherman,
in his forthcoming annual report will
break ground in this direction.-Ly-

The Republican press is still grind,
ing away with all its might at the South
ern outrage mill. Few of them go in
to details and NJ ne produce any proof.
1t is no doubt the production of the
Chandler Cameron-Hale crew, for the
purpose of causing solid republican
North. In some portions of the South
the republican candidates were men OF
such characters as Anderson, Wells and
other returning board scamps who are
trying to raise fuss because they could
not get their offices.
