APoIitical Currency.

The evils of currency ever subject TO
the will or caprice of an accidental major
ilv in Congress were presented by Sena-
tor Bayard in his recent address in Della
ware. Mr. Bayard is a democrat. but does
not believe in doubling the amount of
greenbaeks issued by the government,
thus postponing specie payment indefinite
w. and giving Congress the sole power
over the currency. The proposition. he
he says, ito double the volume of Treas
MY notes is an indefinite postpOnement of
specie payment, and it also entrusts 10 the
Congress of the United States-to An acct
dental majority-the control of the volume,
and of course. the value of the money.
the medium of exchange in all our bar
gains and contracts. An old and frequent
saving is that the world is governed too
much but do not think in all schemes OF
paternal government. of which we nave
heard so much in Europe, that anything
quite so far-reaching and controlling ever
was imagined as such power in MAJOR
ity OF Congress. Every mans contracts,
every mans bargains, every mans sales
would be SUBJECT to the will OF the malor'-
ty of Congress. Are YOU ready for that
DO YOU believe that that is the proper
rule /? or, is it not self interest that SHOULD
control your contracts and agreements :
This is a country governed by paItles :;
sometimes one being successful. some
times another. Sometimes men 60 in up

prosperity to certain classes. and the vol
ume of currency and its value. is to de-
pend upen the ebb and flow of political
power. There is no stability in that, moth
ing an American can approve of.
The great strength of this country is
that Il permits men to exercise their pow
ers freely, according to the measure God
has given them. There is no bar of rank,
sect or party or prejudice it is the non
interference Of the government that per-
mits the citizen to rely upon himself, re-

society. Heaven help us if the time shall
come when the value of every mans farm
and every contract he makes is to be de-
termIned by some accidental majority in
Congress that may change every two
wears. The doctrine is so disastrous, so
fatal to sound credit and prosperity that
all who have read history or study linaace
see nothing but the ruin and prostration of
all public and private credit and conf
dence between man and man"
We commend Mr.. Bayard's wise re-
marks on this point to the attention OF
those who desire the abolition of national
banks and an increase of the volume of
Treasury notes.

One of the most significant indications
of the extent to which the democratic
party has been demoralized by the green
back movement. is the fact that with the
exception of the Lewiston Gazette, Bel

one of our democratic papers is talking
about the same as the greenback papers
do and don't seem TO care whel hepGarce-

by combining factions, but when an old

sity." The Maine Standard saws

SUPERIORITY OF THE BANK SYSTEM
Oar first aud greatest secretary of the treasury
Tered this question In the infancy of the re
public. and the policy he then recommended has
prevailed ever since:
among other material differences between
paper currency, issucd by the mere authority of
government, and one issued by bank, payable in
coin, is this: That in the first case there is no
standard to which an appeal can be made as to
the quantity which will only satisfy, or which will
surcharge the circulation; in the last that standard
results from the demand. If more should he ia
sued than necessary it will return upon the bank
Its emissions, as elsewhere minated must always

mand, whence 1t is evident that there i lin ia
ton in the nature of the thing while the discre
ton OF the government is the only measure of the
extent of the emissions. by its authority This
consideration further illustrates the danger of
emissions OF that sort, and the pref which is
ne to bank paper"
