OF England notes ran up above par in gold,

The Spanish opprcssors Of Cuba control
the telegraph cable between that island and
this country. Over that cable, within the
past week, there have come several de-
spatches positively asserting that peace
has been made between the republic of Cuba
and the Spanish Government. that 1t was
concluded nearly two weeks ago at place
called Sanjon, near Puerto Principe, and
That it has been officially promulgated In
the Gdcctd de Ia HdrUid.
II peace has been made, there Is no place
upon the face of the earth, Madrid not eX-
repted where the prompt ccrtiiication OF
the fact would bc SO useful to the Spaniards
lust now as at Washington. The first and
most pressing duty of the Spanish officials
would bc to prove the peace indisputably to
the Government Of the United States. They
would not only not object TO allowing the
executive and military authorities of the
collapsed republic to telegraph the facts to
their agents in this country, but would in
sist upon their doing so.
1t takes two parties to conclude peace as a
matter of fact; it takes the testimony Of
both parties to establish peace as matter

proof OF ii, over the signature Of the Cuban
President. or MAXIMo GOMEZ, or some other
nnqucstionable authority, would surely
have been sent at once by telegraph TO the
representatives Of the republic in New York
and Washington.
Plenty Of time has elapsed. hut no word oi
peace has come from the leaders Of the
Cuban patriots.
For the past nine years it has been the
policy of the Spaniards in Cuba to represent
the struggle a. ended or about to end Time
and time again they have conquered on
paper and by cable the patriots whom thciI
muskets had failed to subdue. We have
heard this story of peace often before
If the members of the Committee on For
eign Affairs Of the House of Representatives
will do their duty, there may come some day
news Of peace in Cuba from source more
trustworthy than Senior MANTILLA's cor

Mischief.

Tho great want oi the tunes is remuner-
alive employment.
1t Is want in which everybody shares.
The railroads want IT. the merchants want
it, the manufacturers. the mechanics, the
laborcrs want it, Ali want it, and society
cannot be held together without it.
To meet this want, the cooperation OF Ia
Dor and capital is indispensable.
All legislative assaults on capital, whether
direct or indirect. tend to weaken, injurc, or
destroy this cooperation.
Tnkcring the currency is thus always in
furious. 1t is particularly so at time Of
general loss aud depression. When that
tinbcrng takes the form Of dcbasing the
circulating money, II is particularly per-
nicious. 1t Injuries the laborcr, because 1t
dimnishcs his wages. 1t Injuries the en-
plovcr, because it alarms him about his
business operations. and about his invest
ments. II Injuries society by creating dis
content. and prolonglng the periods Of in
action and depression.

What Would Have Led Us Out of the
Woods.

1t was the easiest thing In the world to
have settled all our financial problems and
to have got down to hard pan by Offering to
redeem the grecnbacks in a four per cent.
bond. There was no need Of doing or saying
anything about gold or silver coin. The meas
urc would of itself have given us stable
currency of specific value. and everybody
would have known what to expect. AT SO
low a rate Of interest for the bond, 1t would
have been impossible TO diminish the volume
III greenbacks down to too low point. The
moment that money became worth more
Than four per cent, that moment redemption
would cease. As such bonds are worth par
In gold, our circulation would have reached
the same level, and the whole question Of
resumption would thus have solved itself
Then we should have had plenty Of paper
money left, gold would have flowed in in
abundant streams, and we could have issued
on the top Of all just as much silver as the
markets would take We should have util-
lied all our resources Of gold, silver green
backs. and bank notes, and money would
have been, and would have continued to be,
Just as plenty as was either necessary or
useful, or as it Is possible to have it ON any
system based Oh the principle Of paying
honest debts.
Thus simple and easy was 1t to have
settled the whole financial question when
the silver lunatics appeared on the stage
