What Wayne Mcveagh Says Regarding

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-The Times will
print tomorrow letter from Wayne McVeagh
regarding the expenses of the Louisiana Com
mission. He says that the members of the
commission were from the first DESTROYS of
defraying their own expenses, but were answer
ed that IL was public service they were per-
forming and it was proper that the Treasury
only should pay them. McVeagh does not
believe Secretary Sherman would accept the
check of any one member in partial payment.
but that when the late commissioners unite in
paying the whole amount, protecting Gen.
Hawley in his absence by acting for him as for
themselves, they will be permitted to do so,

The esreenback Theory

seems to me the most deIusive and danger
Gus with which any class Of men can deceive
themselves. II history teaches anything in
matters of finance, it is that, sooner or later,

we have to sell rs we must certainly give Tor
what we have to buy, the money which the
world recognizes as the universal symbol OF
value. Calling piece OF paper dollar VIII
never make it dollar IN the market OF the
world, and in that market every days Ia
Dor, as well rs every bushel Of corn or yard
Of cloth, is at last to be valued, however
our national plide or prctence may protest.
or resist. The law is as memorable as that
of death. The suffering which we eHpe-
rience to-day is largely owing to our def
ance OF that law the penalty Of which we
knowingly ri>ked during the eXigencles OF
our great civil war as a lesser evil than
that which threatened us from scarcity or
money OF any kind. Nor do | know any
honest way in which money, either paper
or com, can be obtained, except by

Were all the Government presses to
be set running at once, l do not know how
any man could come honestly by any of the
millions they might turn OFT unless he had
something OF value to exchange. We must
work if we would Obtain the fruits OF
labor. wages, or wealth; and we must de-
mand that those wages or that wealth be
represented in the only currency which the
whole world recognzes-goldo or its equlya-
lent. The only remedy for the hard times,
believe, is in financial policy based upon
this idea. 1t is necessary to resume and
secure specie-payments to encourage capt.
tai to commence new enterprises, and thus
give employment to labor. This is almost
accomplished. Let us not turn the wheels

The Destructives in California

The events in the California Convention
tend 10 rtassrrc reponsihIe and honest peo-
pie that society is powerful and VIII not
hermit the wave OF destruction TO flow over
il without an attempt to protect itself. In
q land that has SO much "ealthand Is stcaol-
" producing wealth in such abundance,
and will continue for years without num-
Der to yield the most fruitful rewards 10
labor, it is impossible that body OF wild,
,,nroyernable, and unreasoning men shall
overwbelm any section with miSgovern-
ment and ruin.
The people OF California, in freak OF
folly and thoughtIessncSs, permitted num-
Der OF Kearneyites to be elected to the stale
Convention. Those destructives rIoted 10
excess under the impression that they
would rule the State and have things after
their own fashion,. Their triumphant re-
joicings and threats tended to sober the
pcople and set them to serious thinking.
The result has been that upon the assem-
bling OF the Convention there was conf
bination OF the better class OF representa-
tives, and the Kcarncyites were completely
defeated i'm the organization OF the body,
and that combination will continue con-
trolling the action OF the body and ayertinS
The disasters with whict the State bad been
threatened.
So it will be. AS long as we have coun-
try worth protecting the voice and Will OF
the people will not permit it to pass under
the authority OF mel who have neither IN
tegrty, reason, nor Judgment. This lesson
will be taught with fearful emphasis TO those
who are plotting and planning to put in
force schemes and theories the success OF
which would be ruinous to Government and
ueople. The schemers themselves could de-
rive no permanent advantage from them.
But they cannot succeed. The elections
first to come of will, we predict, settle
their fate adversely. Yet if they shall elect
some persons they will not have strength
enough in Congress to make them rcspecta-
Bile. They will be'contemncd and avoided.
Their plans will find favor with no party
having power to do anything, and il they
should have strength enough to create
trouble society will be true to itself, and
combinations will be effected that will save
the country from any serious injury by the
success OF any OF their destructive PROPOSE
tions, especially their issue by Congress OF
irredecmable paper-money.
