DEATH OF E. K. COLLINS.

The founder of the first American line
of Transatlantic steamers, Mr.. E. K. Col
Inns, died last week at his home in New
York city. The Collins line was for
many years favorite with ocean travel
ers, but a series of disasters, involving
the loss of many lives, brought it into
disfavor, and il was soon after abandon
ed. The Arctic was lost at sea, coming
into collision with a French steamer off
the New Foundland coast. among the
lost passengers were the wife, only
daughter, and youngest son of Mr.. Col
Inns. The loss of so large part Of his
family was blow from which Mr.. Col
lins never recovered.
Soon after the loss of the Arctic came
that ofthe PaCifc,supposed to have struck
an iceberg, for no trace of the lost vessel
has ever been found. This put an end
to the Collins line, and the ships were
sold at a great sacrifice. Mr.. Collins
came to Ohio and bought large tract of
mining and coal lands at Collinsville, on
the Cleveland & Pittsburgh railroad, near
Wellsyille. He married again, and for
years called Ohio his home. Getting
permission to build dock beside the
Government pier at Cleveland from the
United States officer in charge, he ex-
pended large sum in its erection for the
storage of his coal and iron ore. When
completed, it was claimed by the Cleve-
land & Pittsburgh Railroad Co., as hav-
ing been built upon their property, and
litigation grew out of it lasting many
years. 1t proved pecuniary loss, and
large sums were expended by him in
the working of his iron, coal, and oil
lands in Ohio, but without success, and
they were at last abandoned. Mr.. Col.
Inns was lavish with money, and warm
hearted and generous. He could never
speak of the loss of the Arctic and his
family without shedding tears. He was
76 years Of age at his death.

THE POLICY on EVIL.

The real error in all our financial leg.
islation was in the inordinate initiation
ofthe Republican leaders during and af.
ter the war, sending all values up enor.
mously, irregularly, and of course 6cti-
tiously. This is best seen in the way
gold run up. At one time gold dollar
was worth in value about three paper
dollars. Paper being our only currency,
business and values were measured and
transacted by this uncertain measure.
1t was an India rubber measure, expand.
ing without rule or calculation.
Having built up the National Debt un-
der this system of wrong and ruin, the
party in power then changed their tao.
tics to one of contraction, which, under
the then existing state of things, was
wholesale robbery and ruin, as actual re.
suits have shown and are showing, OF
course, without initiation the contraction
could not have succeeded Initiation is
the debt involving period. Money is
plenty and easily borrowed, This indu'
ces activity in business, and speculation,
and also extravaganza. People leave
prudent lives of industry to run into all
sorts of wild ventures. The initiation at
last comes to disastrous end, inevita-
bly,. But when government manipuIates
the whole affair, first to favor the none
tary class so they will get a heavy debt
against the public very cheap, and there.
after play into the same hands by con.
tracing the currency, and doubling or
trebling the value of those bond claims
against that public-then the whole
thing is simple, barefaced robbery, Such
has been the John Sherman Republican
poliCy.

A BILL has been introduced iDto the
Senate of Ohio to abolish the Bureau oi
Labor Statistics. Labor statistics surely
are matters Of importance to the people,
and all classes of people. We know not
how this Bureau has been managed in
our State--nor the objection of the au.
thor of the bill to Labor statistics. Such
Bureau is certainly demanded in a
State like Ohio, containing over three
millions of people, largely and actively
engaged in agriculture, and manufactar.
ing and mining. Statistical knowledge
is all important, and becomes more and
more valuable in after years. The na-
tions Of antiquity have transmitted to us
very limited information as to the every
day life Of the people, their business,
trade, &c. How valuable statistical la
Dor, trade and business knowledge would
now be. Modern nations are carefully
compiling these actual results and hand
ing them down to posterity. We want
Ohio to be up with the foremost in all
this useful information.

MURDER OF CAPTAIN j. GLAD
DENS SON BY MEXICAN CATTLE
THIEVES.


The following is from the Washington
ReBn6hcaN of the 10Th, inst Captain
]. GLADDEN. of the United States Treasury
Department is in receipt of letter Civ
ing the particulars of his sons murder,
in California, on the goth of December
last. The younger Mr. GLADDEN. was dep
utized to follow and arrest gang of Mex
ican cattle thieves. He, with four Others
started in pursuit. About forty miles from
the place of the last robbery, they over
hauled three of the leaders Of the gang,
who had taken shelter for the nightin an
old vacant cabin. The pursuing party
came on the robbers very opportunely,
while two oftheir number were out atten.
ding to their stock. Their arrest was quiz
etly made. Leaving the prisoner in
charge of two of his men Mr.. GLADDEN.,
with the two remaining men, entered the
cabin and there found the leader of the
gang lying on a bunk. They covered
him with their revolvers and demanded
his surrender. He replied, "All right,
gentlemen, let me put on my boots and
| am ready to go with YOU" When he
stopped for his boots the sherifTs party
dropped the muzzles of their arms. The
robber took a navy revolver from each
boot and commenced firing. Gladden's
pistol missed fire. His two companions
fled. The Mexican then shot him in the
face, the ball coming out at the back of
the neck. GLADDEN. closed in and threw
his slayer, but the outlaw succeeded in
shooting him through the heart while
scufling on the floor. Mr.. GLADDEN. was
highly respected and the citizens have
offered large reward for the capture of
his murderer. A company ofpicked men
are on their trail, and are in great hopes
of capturing the whole party.

Fiat currency. that is a currency

tried by the Sonth under Confederate
rule. The rebel currency, TO be sure,
was not quite 40 fiat" as would be the
money that some of the fiatists desire
To create, because il actually promised
To pay gold and silver coin at that in
definite period "six months after the
United States should acknoledge the
Independence Of the Confederacy.
SINGULAR as il may seem to the fat ad-
vocates, il was promise Of redemp ion
in coin, indefinite as il was, which gave
the value il had TO the Confederate
CT rrency. This is proved by the fact
that not only every Confederate victo-
ry OF importance. but also every Dem
ocratic election victory revived the
value Of the Confederate currency, be-
cause either q Confederate victory on

record shows how every great Confed-
crate victory, and every success Of the
Democratic party in the Northern cleo
tions revived the otherwise constantly
sinking value of the Confederate cur
rency. From it We have prepared the

There are Greenbackers who profess
To believe that the government must
keep all Of its promises to the letter.
aud who claim To abhor all reputation
as much as any one. For their benefit
[ wish to call attention to the act under
which the greenbacks were issued.
The frat, that of February 26, 1862,
provides:
"That the Secretary OF the Treasury
is hereby authorized to issue, On credit
Of the United States, $3.50, coo, 900 of
United States notes, not bearing inter-
est, payable 10 bearer at the Treasury
Of the United States"
The act OF July IL, 1862, provides for
the issue II $3.50, 900, 900 additional
notes, also payable To the bearer at
the Treasury of the United States.
The Joint resolution of January IL.
1868 provides for the issue uf $780,
600. 900 United States notes, payable -
the bearer on demand.
The act of March 3, 1868. pro,id.s
for the issue II sn amount IL notes ''ou
the credit of the United States, which
with those issued under the joint reso-
luton just referred to, would make
$50, ,0OO, 900, which notes were to he
payable To the bearer"
The act Of June 30, 1864, says:
"Nor, shall the total amount Of Unit
ed States notes issued or to be issued
ever exceed 800, 200. 900, and such ad-
ditional sum, not exceeding $50, 900, 900
as may be temporarily required for the
redemption Of temporary loans"
Ia accordance with these acts every
United States note contains u promise
To pay the amount il represents TO the
Dearer. Now it is plain that the fiat
money doctrine had no place III the
minds of those who caused the issue Of
our present United States notes. All
this money is payable 10 the bearer at
some time, aud it must be payable "a
