sres; it is simply this. that the banks VIII
not allow him to lend them silver and to de-
mand back gold.
That is the sole ground of complaint. Any
one who has silver can get banks to keep
it for him, but they will pay back silver.
ANY one who wants to make a note or draft
payable in silver, il he can get the banks to
take his paper in any form, can get them
to TAXA it in that form. But there are men
who want to cheat the banks by deposltlng
silver and drawing ont gold. They, and they
only, are embarrassed i'll their opera
tons by the decision of the banks to
give silver to the men who bring silver,
and gold to the men who bring gold. The
man who gets abusive and red in the face be-
cause of that arrangement, virtually confesses
that he intended to steal something.
The banks of this city do an exchange bust
ness for other cities and towns all over the
country. The existence of these legal-tenders
renders it not only expedient but abso-
utely necessary for them TO determine
which shall be the unit OF value
in their dealings. They have decided to com
ply with the law of the United States, and it
Is understood that they will probably recon-
mend their customers to make all their con-
tracts after January payable Gin bankable
funds" Some such stipulation in all con-
tracts will save great deal of mis-
understanding and trouble, though it is
desirable rather for the protection Of
the merchants than OF the banks. As soon as
it is a recognized custom of commerce in New
York that negotiable paper payable here is pay
able in gold, or its market equivalent, that
understanding by a well-known principle of
law, would enter into all contracts made
under 1t, but it is not to the adj
vantage of anybody that there should be oc-
caslon for dispute or litigation. None will
arise if the banks request their customers to
make all their contracts conform to the law
of the United States, which establishes the
gold dollar rs the unit of value.

"SELEGOVFRNUENTD

Mr.. Lamar should make his meaning palmer
When he says the right of the people of the
South to self-govcrnmcnt is an issue IN National
politics and that 80 long as that continues to
be the case the people will not and ought
not to divide on any other question, he makes
a definition of his and their idea OF. self
government necessary, in order that We may
understand precisely the position taken. There
may have been, indeed we think there was, IN
the late elections, in some parts of the
South an absolute denial, and in others
a decided abridZment, of the right of self
government, if by self-gOycrumcnt we are TO
understand government by a majority of
the legal voters. But no night of the class of
citizens for whom Mr.. Lamar speaks
was in any single instance denied or
abridged. No such claim has ever
been made. In every instance, and there were
thousands of them. in which the right Of self
government was denied or abridged, it was
done 10y the very men represented by Mr..
Lamar, in whose behalf he puts in his plea to
be let alone; and done to secure the
rule of a minority. But he says it
is the right of se!f-gOvernment that the prO-
pie of the South are struggling for, and the
on It, regardless of all other issues.
Who has put seli-goyernmrnt in peril, Mr..
LAMAR Who makes it an issue in National
politicsi And how Listen a moment. The
price paid by the people whom you represent,
for engaging in what n majority of the
voters of this country believe to have
been a causelcss rebellion, was the forfeiture
of Their slaves. These being freed were.
for the defence of their liberty and their
own protection, endowed with citizenship
and the ballot. To this reimbursement
you and the people for whom you
speak asscnted-perhaps reluctantly and
ungraC0usly, but assented. Upon that condi-
ton amnesty was granted and disabilities
were wiped out. 1t was not strange that
those ignorant men so suddenly elevated to
civil equality with those who had been their
masters, and whom their unpaid labor had
enriched, should abuse their privileges
and misuse their power. Nor was it
