The Road to Resumption Growing
Rough,

- ~ AtOou w IIOWlu
Rough.
As the day for resuming specie pay.
ments is near at hand, and the elections
are over, Secretary SHERMAN discloses
to a newspaper reporter that there are
some serious obstacles in the way Of
maintaining resumption. II is little
amusing to find that Of the three chief
difficulties which he enumerates, two
have been approved by him as aids to
redemption.
One of the obstacles, as he now puts
it, is the new silver dollar. In his exam
ination by the Finance Committee of the
Senate, last Winter. he stated that this
dollar would certainly aid in carrying
out the Resumption Act. This obstacle
he proposes to remove by having Con-
gress limit the amount of silver dollars
to 100000, and by employing So,
100000 in taking up the Oil and %
notes. &9l7 siti :" 5s est
A second trouble is the demand that
will be made for specie to pay customs
duties. This he proposes to ohviate by
procuring the passage of law author
IL 'ng payment of customs in legaltender
notes, whenever such notes are at par
with gold.
The third and gravest obstacle is the
law requiring the reissue of the legal
tender notes as fast as they are received
into the Treasury. This law be recon-
mended. Now he wants to hoard or
burn these notes as fast q. he can lay
his hands on them, SO that none of them
may ever return second time to bother
him for specie. g@
And how does he design to remove
this obstruction2 II Congress will not
not repeal the law he simply means to
override 1t! The chief organ of the
Money Power, the New York Tribune,
announced a year ago that no act of
Congress could withstand the organized
capital which Is backing SHERMAN. Be.
sides, be has been disregarding the law
with impunity ever since it passed.
SHERMAN thus virtually admits what
was claimed by Democrats during the
late campaign-that specie resumption
can not be maintained without further
'ruinous contraction of the currency.

The war on passenger rates among the
immediate Western connections Of the
trunk lines, which was announced In the
dispatches Of yesterday morning, was
through the day the one subject OF discus.
sion in railroad offices. The local ticket
agents Of the several roads said that the
news came to them through the morning
papers, aud as the rate from Cincinnati
to New York OF. Philadelphia had been
reduced to .e1 by one road, news from
the seat of war was awaited with Interest.
The fight grows out Of the rivalry Of The
Atlantic and Great Western and The Pan
Handle roads. The former has anuoun.
ced the 81 rate. The distance is about
1000 miles, su that, according TO the
present rate, the cheapest travelling ever
known is of red. O.her competing
roads are obliged to join the fight, but
so far as known, none have reached the
low figure Of the Atlantic and Grea'
