Russia and the DardaneIies.


Turkey has always maintained tnat no
foreign vessel Of war shouId De allowed
at apy time TO pass the Dardanelles, but
to this principle Russia has never assent
ed, except under circumstance when no
other course was left open. Russia has
long aspired to be great naval power,
and has conse quently striven to reach the
sea coast. To the north she has succeed
ed, but the Baltic, which Is half the year
closed by Ice, does notsatisfactorily fulfil
the REQUIRED conditions, and she natural.
lv turned her eyes to the Mediterranean.
with difficulty she obtained possession
or the northern and eastern shores OF the
BLACK Sea but her designs there have
been enly partly realized, for the only
outlet from the Euxine TO the Mediter-
ranean lies through the Bosphorus and
the Dardanelles, which the Turks, up to
a recent period, opened and closed ac-
cordiug to their good pleasure. Russia
would, of course, prefer having In her
own possession the keys of this import
be disagreeahle that the Sultan should be
able, without employing ship Of war, to
blockade effectually all her southern
ports There Is scarcely any nation of
any Consequence that would patiently
submit 70 this condition of things, and 1t
is to relieve hers .lf q ON this hindrance
to her proper development that Russia
after bloody war, has exacted from the
Porte the right of passage through the
Dardanelles, and to this concession the
English government objects and talks Of
and prepares for war To prevent.

SENATOR BAYARp's SPEEcH.-We call
the attention of the readers of the
GAZETTE to Mr.. Bayard's speech in the
Senate yesterday. We hope they will
read it. But at the same time they will
please remember that the s'dollar of the
fathers" was in use before the rebellion,
and with it, gold and silver, we were the
freest, most prosperous and richest peo-
pie in the world. 1t did not then make
us Asiatics; but it did enable few weak
colonies to contend successfully with
the greatest statesmen and the greatest
warriors, and the greatest tinanciers, and
the greatest navigators and sailors and
build up the most magnificent commerce
by sea and land the world ever saw, sur
passing, by far that of Great Britain. We
beat all other nations in all great works
of Improvement, and the silver dollar
formed the sinew of commercial opera
tons as it did the sinew of war.
Our able Senator in assuming the role
of the prophet will not convince our peo'
pie of the infalibility of his visioninto the
future. In fact we cite him and his
handsome build, athletic form, accom-
plished manners and graceful and digni-
fed department in proof that the un'
limited circulation of silver as a lega
tender had no tendency to make our peo'
pie Asiatics in the past, and we fear moi
that it will in the future.
There is no danger of Germany send
ing silver here. Even our six per cents
did not tempt German coin here to
purchase bond. Nor did France senC
even five franc piece here. Facts arr
stubborn things. Germany received
more than 81 900, 100000 in gold ano
silver from France as war indemnity
and demonetized silver because the En-
pire Of Germany had to recoin all th'
money of the Principalities it gathered
into its arms, after the war. If we ha,
received thousand of millions in gol,
we might talk of following Germany.

WHEREVER you find speculator in
city property, who has been badly caught
by the shrinkage of prices and rents be-
cause of the approximation of the green
back promissory notes to the gold dollar
in value, you find a man who is in favor
ofa cheaper dollar and franticallv opposed
to any one who is in favor of honest
money. This is only natural exhi bition
of selfishness and an illustration of the
law of self-preservation, and the man
is an object for pity, but when such a
man owns newspaper, and pretends in
its columns that his zeal is in behalf of
the laboring men, his impudent mendaci-
ty makes him an object of contempt
Every Evening and Commercial.
There is another slander. Who it al
ludes to we do not know. But the writer
and owners of what remains of jenkins
old Commercial are the very same gentle
men who urged on the circumstances re-
sulting in initiation by the government /;
and were the apologists for It's misman-
agement during the years 1869 and 1870,
which led many poor fellow to pay too
much for property. But now that the
government has taken a short turn, a
snapjudgment, and by contraction cut
down the prices until the mechanic who
has bought house for four thousand and
paid two thousand on 1t finds he cannot
satisfy the mortgage, and the creditor
gets back the house for $1,000, the pool
mechanic losing all. There are thousand.
of just such cases. And it must be hard
enough to endure the loss without being
told, in the heartless style of the article
above, of the misfortune. Butsuch is the
conduct of that soulless corporation.
No, sirs, it is not the ''speculator in city
property who has been badly caught b,
the shrinkage of prices and rents" tina
suffers most. Such as he are general,
found to get away from his creditor
through the payment of % cents to tn
dollar. No, it is the hard toiling farmer
laborer, or perhaps merchant, that
cramped to death, and all he has in tn
world has been, or is to be, cleaned out b.
a misleading and treacherous policy o
the government. government that ha
put 81, 300, 10000 of bonds that is exemp
from all taxation 16 to 20 per cent. abov
par, and to do so put real estate taxed t
pay all this debt, thirty or forty or fift
per cent. below what it cost, and then de
prived the people of one-half the mean
to pay by demonetizing silver, and r,
quiring the heavily taxed laborer's proI
erty TO pay for the untaxed bondholder.
Nothing could be more fatal to all |;
Dor than this; nothing could more surel
destroy prosperity and Improvement
Why, many persons in all sections of til
country complain that their propert
yields them nothing, and tenants al
kept in houses to prevent decay.
