week, aud say time will be afforded
for considering the Pacific Railroad
bills aud other prominent public meas.
urts. Strong efforts will be made this
week 10 either lay the tariff bill on tho
table or postpone until next session,
which would DO equivalent to its de.
feat. Representative Wood, however,
is still sangnine 1t will become a law
during the present AZ ssion.

THs. New York Times Gays the

HOaahafora January, 1879. This jour.
nal, lsss than two months ago, shFieked
terribly about the great eVlls That
W6hld result rom the passage Of the
silver Bill. Now It says silver will

and GAaG gold glE como 'Oih IL. HoW
il THAI This very paper declared that
II the Silver Bill should become g law,
that Il would drive gold out Of the
country, and greatly tend 10 break
down the credit Of the Government
Tha Silver Bill did become a law, and
now II thinks the credit Of the Govern
ment is 20 strengthened that resump-
lion Is almost at hand, and that gold,
instead Of leaving the country, will
soon be in circulation at par
with silver. The truth is, re-
sumption Is virtually accomplished
There 10 nothing to be done bot for the
Government to set 8 day TO receive It's
own paper ct lie nominal value for all
debts. Strange as II may seem, United
States notes are dlshonOred by the
United States only. So soon as the
Gotarnment chooses to receive lie
paper, Il will be as good as gold, and as
good % any money iu the world. The
stuff the gold hoarderS preach about

that would be presented for redemp'
ton IL nonsense. The amount that
would be presented compared 10 the
amount Of gold on hand,in u opinion
would be very trihing. 1t wouldn't
pay the banks Of the country to take
currency out Of business 10 send 1t on
for redemption, and it would never be
sent on only for renewal when the
paper becomes worn out. Gold will
buy no more in any part Of the coun'
try now than will greenbacks or silver
or silver notes. and The only reason
that there is q quotable difference In its
value aud that Of greenbacks, is be-
cause the Government hasn't the cour-
age TO honor the latter as It has always
honored lie bonds. There Is nc neces-
city OF any further delay.
