CONCERNING GREESBAcKS AND BANK


Certain correspondents ask If we do not :" ig-
more the fact that the Government does not
"pay interest on its grecnback Indebtedness,
"and could save the interest on some $780,
1000 900 bonds for which it might issue green
"backs to circulate in place of bank notes"
The thing is possible. But is it desirable or
honorable
|. 1t would be unjust to the bondholder,
who has a right, under solemn pledges of the
Government, to payment in coin, and not in
a paper which by that very act of bad faith
would be still further deprecated.
III. 1t would be unjust TO the banks, which
surrendered their advantages under State
laws, helped the Nation in its strait and have
taken, and to this day help its credit by hold
ing, $500, 900, 900 of its bonds.
III. 1t would violate a solemn pledge made
to the public creditors that the amount Of legal
tender notes outstanding should never exceed
S4OO, 900 900. Many men, in these days,
make hight of public faith. But we are sorry
to see that any old Republicans are willing to
break any pledge made by the Union to those
whose loyal trust saved the Nations life.
w. It would cause depreciation of legal-ten-
ders. AS another correspondent admits, the
bank notes now circulate on the credit Of the
banks, and " the Nation itself, presumably of
" as good credit" might use its own credit
and reap the gain. But this means that the
public credit should be further strained. more
heavily loaded. If legal-tenders are below
par, they would sink still further ii more were
issued. True, bonded debt would be retired,
but is anyone ignorant that credit is strained
infinitely more by the owing of 800 on which
no interest is paid than by the owing of 500
on which the lender gets interest regularly
V. The public credit would not only be dam
aged by bad faith, and by forcing upon the
market bonds now held by the banks, but
still more by the fact that a vast banking
capital, now placed under bonds to help the
public credit, would then have strong private
interest to dcpreciate it, and TO reap profit
thereby.
VI Itwould be unconstitutional to make new
legal-tender issue in time of peace. Decisions
of the Supreme Court leave no room to doubt
that this would be its judgment upon any test
case after the new notes had been issued.
That issue wiped out, and the bank notes re-
tired, we should be left with only the present
greenback circulation. Wildcat State banks
would then spring up to supply the want. and
that is precisely what many State Rights BOur-
bons desire. Do the people Of this country
want to 90 back to the old system of wildcat
currencies differing in the several States as to
security and value
VII. Even if, by legislative packing of the
Supreme Court or otherwise, it we're possible
to make the new issue stand, it would be only
launching the Nation on the rapids above a
financial NIAGARA PLEDGES broken once the
issue Of more notes would be demanded.

TgF LIuBETH REPORTS.

"Pan {" has become too common a prefix in
recent ecclesiastical history to command atten-
ton. Although many American preIates took
part in the recent Pan-Anglican Conference,
and Bishop Stevens delivered the closing
address, the proceedings of that important
council have been followed with languid inter-
est in the United States even by members of
the Protestant Episcopal Church. 1t was
not the first attempt to bring the Bishops Of
that communion into close relations, and,
moreover, the hundred preates who gathered
at Lambeth Palace did not assume to speak
with authority. They met for consultation, to
compare notes concerning the signs of the
times and to discuss the religious conditions
of their dioceses and it was foregone
conclusion that their deliveTances could
have no executive force. 1t is true that
certain zealots and idealists in England had
suggested that the Archbishop of Canterbury
should be recognized as the Patriarch of the
Anglican Communion; but this proposal WAS
never seriously entertained. The Bishops were
there to give and get advice, and not to
enforce any doctrine or policy and those
who looked on from a distance were
not concerned in debates that could not
lead 10 ecclesiastical action. While this lack
of appreciation was natural it was not wholly
reasonable, for the reports adopted by the
conference, which we find in OH foreign files,
contain some passages of pressing interest to
American readers, and especially to members
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
The first and most important Of these re-
ports relates to the reunion of the churches,
and is virtually a confession that that millen-
NAL end is to be prayed for rather than worked
out. The assembling of true General
Council, to which the Church of England has
always expressed her readiness to resort,
is declared to be unhappily aud obvi-
ously impossible, and the Bishops do not

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Republican party has only to shake itself to
find out how strong ~ Is.
Everybody seems to he taking some interest in
politics this year except the Administration.
Stanley Matthews ought to be able to see that he
burts himself aud the Administration every time he
lodges the Potter Committee
viii Charles Francis Adams support Butler for
Governor of Massachusetts, He ought to, for both
agree in taYOring anything to beat the Republican
party.
Massachusetts, deserves to be visited with Butler
as Governor for one term at least for having worried
the country with him SO many times Congress-
man.
Thurman didn't answer Tilden after all. Proba-
bIy he Conduit make out what Marble was talking
about. The coparceny with the ark and sheehinah
was too much for him.
Butler is justified in saying he has engagements
of great Importance A man who is trying to break
down two old parties and build up new one at the
same time with the impeachment of a President
and whole Cabinet thrown In, must be tolerably
busy.
Ex-Coneressman Shellabarger thinks General
Grants nomination is inevitable, provided he
will consent. He thinks he can consolidate the
marty and be elected 1t is simply chrOniclmg the
news Of the day to say that the woods in all parts
of the country full of men who are talking in
much the same way.
A judicious view Of the third term question Is
taken by Congressman KeIfer. of Ohio. He says he
is personally friendly Grant, but he thinks year
hence will be more appropriate time to talk about
his candidacy for third term, especially as the
elections this year may affect the matter The next
Congress is subject of sufficient Importance to abb
sOrb everybOdY's energy just now.
There are signs of Democratic split in the
XXVIIth Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
There are three counties in the district and in one
of them, Warren, the Democrats show disposition
to unite with the Greenbackers This is the district
where the Republicans are not so harmonious as
they ought TO be, and it may be that Democratic
quarrel will show them the necessity Of healing
their own dssensions and thus making sure of a
Congressman. That ought to be the effect, anyway
Mayor Ely has been throwing little light upon
that murky quarrel between Watterson aud Hewitt.
He tells a Saratoga correspondent OF The PhiddeI-
phia Times that Wattersons attacks were written as
editorial articles for his own paper; that they were
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-08-14

Thenceforward, until the final crash, all pol
itics would turn upon the question OF initiation.
That would furnish a rallying point for all
Communists and all rebels-all who hate prop
erty and want ga general smash and all
who hate the Union and want to destroy It's
credit.
VIII Imitation means infinite jobbery made
easy. Remove the barrier, 80 that more legal
tenders can be issued, and everybody who
wants an appropriation for any purpose, how
ever wild or knavish, has only to propose
new issue of notes to pay the bill. Then all
that vast force which perpetually seeks infia-
ton will be rallied to the support of every
job.
TX Were there no bad faith in the substi-
tuition of greenbacks for bank notes, and no
injustice to bankers, and no wrong to bond
holders and no damage to the public credit,
and no uncOnstitutiOnality, and no danger OF
any further issues or Of fatal assaults from
the combined forces of DislOyalty, COmmun-
ism and Jobbery, yet even then the change
would not be wise. The bank circulation has
q certain elasticity. The banks can keep it
out only by loans, and. having their private
capital at stake, cannot afford to lend where
loans are dangerous. II butiO ID iiON AZ S''A
mate use for more circulation in bust
ness transactions, the banks as whole
will not issue more. If there is, they
can now take out as much more as
can be safely and proftably employed. Thus
the bank circulation tends to adapt itself to
the real and legitimate needs OF the country.
1t cannot be forced into use by mere legisla-
tive jobbery. But the greenback circulation
has no such elasticity 1t can in no way be
made to rise and fall with the actual demand
for currency in safe transactions. On the con-
trary, the only force powerful enough to Sc
cure an expansion will usually be the desire
to carry some great scheme of plumber which
can pay lobbyists and bride journals and Con-
gressmen. 1t is elastic only where it ought
to be most unyieding, and can neither con-
tract nor expand where there is the greatest
need for contraction or expansion.

there is but one remedy; the one suggested
by the sand lot orator: let the man who
" goes back on the platform grace the nearest
clamp postn Mr.. Keamey has answered the
popular impotence to know what the National
movement means. He has made everything
plain. He is much more emphatic than
Mr.. Peter Cooper or even Mr.. Butler
and his arguments strike home al
most as effectively as those with which
Mr.. The" Allen lately persuaded Mr.
Eugene Beebe. 1t was really great day
for benighted New-England when Mr.. Dennis
Kearney stepped out as a missionary of re-
form. He and Mr. Butler together ought to
be able to tell New-England people great
many things that they don't know.

This is a matter seriously affecting the gem

The one thing most apparent in Mr.. Thur
mans speech of yesterday is the excessive hui
mllty of Presidential candidate. The Sena-
tor feels d" so tumble ".that he must even take
the trouble to deny any intention Of doing so
presumptuous a thing as setting the " key
"nOte for the campaign. That was done,
he says, by the convention. Most GER
tainly it was; for here is leader.
who has been respected rs something of
a hard-mOney man, vOwing and protesting
that the rag-mOnCy and Communist platform
adopted at Columbus suits him exactly, and
that he has never had an opinion in oppOsi-
ton to the sovereign will of the Ohio De-
mocracy. keynote" indeed! Mr. Thurman
is triumphantly acquitted Oh that charge. His
" keynote" is only frantic attempt to
keep within the tune set by a Wild
eyed tribe of regulators. His eagerness
betrays his political malady. He is anxious
to have il understood not only that he adopts
the principles of the platform, but that he has
always advocated them; that he has never
cast vote in the Senate that was inconsist-
ent with them that ne steadily opposed con-
traction, fought the Resumption Act, worked
hard to remOnetize silver, favored the substltu-
ton of greenbacks for National bank notes, and
first proposed that greenbacks should be re-
ceivable for duties. And this also: that dur
ing his nine years service in the Senate he
has never given vote " to which exception
" was taken by the Democracy of Ohio" All
this must be true, If Mr.. Thurman himself
SAYS So 1t will, no doubt, recommend him in
his own State, but in other parts Of the Union
it will simply prove that he has enjoyed hith-
erto better reputation than he deserved.

General Butler went cunning for the Presl-
dent again yesterday, and, as usual his gun
kicked He attempted to show by the testl-
mOny of the New-Orleans editor whose visit
to Governor Hayes at Columbus created some
stir at the time, that there was a bargain at
Columbus, as well as a bargain in Washing
ton and bargain in NewOrleans. This gen.
tleman had free and extended conversation
with Governor Hayes, in which we can
see the first symptoms of the resurrection
of the Old Line Wing; and Mr.. Hayes
gave him, as he had an American citizens
right to do, an outline of his probable policy
as President Mr.. Hiscock very clevery turned
the whole point against Butler by suggesting
that promises made to "the bitter enemies
of the Returning Board could hardly be "bar-
gains to induce them TO count Mr.. Hayes
in and the witness exploded the whole theory
of the examination when he stated that Mr..
Hayes made no agreement of any sort, and
declared that he did not want the Presidency,
il il aid not come to him fairly.
