IRON the New Deal
O.2se JOyful.
i Specie payment seems to be close at
hand. The belief is becoming. quite
prevalent that the Secretary Of the
Treasury will soon commence paying
Ispecie. X eeosb0 Telegraph.
i Well. does our old friend look upon
{ this as the opening up of the nillen-
Mum? Is he looking upwards for the
coming Of the new Jerusalem? Well,
Esuppose he does commence paying spe-
Gle tomorrow; or, supposing. he had
commenced yesterday, what difference
would it make with you and as z
! What particular benefit would it be to
the hundreds Of thousands Of business
men he has crushed, und the millions
that depended upon those businessmen
for their daily bread, in his eff )rts to
bring about that wonderful Oonsum-
nation in his financial policy? Is it a
matter of great satisfaction to the ed
| itor of the z'e5egraaoh to know that
John Sherman can pay one dcsltta' IN
specie For every sixty dollars in ciEcu-
lation? Such a glowing prospect should
fill the head of the editor with such
| bright visions Of the good time conn
/ ing, that it will almost induce him. to
go forth in the streets with songs and
dances. Does the Telegraph expect to
feel q new life current running through
the arteries of trade and business at
the clink OF the first dollar that John
| Sherman throws upon the counter, and
an elongated subscription list, with
advertisements? "GaIoTe.' A man Of
his experience in the world, that can
| be so deluded with the John Sherman
misunderstanding policy, as to lookfor
any benefit to be derived from, the.fact
that he is paying specie, ought to have
/ been born two hundred years ago.
May be he thinks we had better never
/ been bogn at al. We intend to make
all these poor grinders wish so, before
we get through with them.
We take the above FROM The Neao
Deal to- show how untruthful and dis
honest that paper can be and is. In
the first place it prints as the caption
/ of the brief article of four OF five lines
taken from the TELEaRAPH @ Be joy
| full as If we used it, whereas there Was
mo such caption nor any other IN the
TELEGRAPH. And there is nothing
in the article expressive Of either JOY or
sorrow. Passing over much Of the NeaO
Deofs falsities by implication we come
to where the editor asks: SIS it a mat.
ter Of great satisfaction to the esltOr
/ of the Telegraph to- know that John
Sherman can pay oase dollar in specie
for every sixty dollars in circulation
"Galore" False by implication again.
There is nothing in our article about
paving circulation. Large amounts
of money are being paid out to meet
the expenditures Of the Government
and the belief lis becoming qMite prev
alent that the Secretary Of the Treas
ury will soon commence paying these
expenditures in specie. There is q
difference Of opinion whether the law
providing for specie payment Janu-
airy 1, 1879 would permit the Secretary
to pay circulation before that time.
We are not prepared to say what the
Secretary's opinion is in that respect.
The editor of the NeeO Deal either
/ does not understand the position OF the
1 editor Of the TELEGRAPH in relation
to the currency or it pLrposely anlsrep-
resents it by implication. We have
long advocated a Government cuTren-
CIV in preference to a Bank currency,
and for general use we prefer paper
currency worth what it purports to be
to specie currency. But we do not
profess to understand the currency
question in all it's ramifcations and de-
tails, and it is quite evident that the
editor of the NeU Deaf knows but very
little about it. But the less he knows
the more he can say. And we think
: it was we'll he was born, and born
when he was, for the world needs some
men who can say more ON subjects
they know nothing about, than they
3 can on subjects they understand well
if there are any such. And the editor
of the Neao Deal is one Of the number
to meet that need. 1
