BAD FINANCIAL LEGISLA TION

In their excess of power, the Re.
publican leaders committed many grave
blunders, which are now returning TO
plague the inventors. They are d.
rectly responsible, not only for the
present distress and prostration OF en-
terprisc and industry throughout the
country, but also for the prejudices and
the false ideas in regard to the finances
which have taken 30 strong hold on
the public mind.
Undoubtedly the whole financial leg
islation and the executive administra.
ton were in the interest of what is
called the money power and the bond.
holder. The 500 bonds, by the terms
of the law authorizing their issue,
were payable in greenbacks, and were
sold on an average at sixty cents on
the dollar. The interest only was pay.

ADHOCATE IND CLIENT.

Senator Blaines opposition to an ap.
preparation to enable the Government
to protect its lands from trespasscrs
should excite no surprise. He glo.
ries in his championship of timber
trcspassers, and avows himself proud
to call them his "clients, and ready to
defend them on oil occasions. The
lumber interest is one of his speciatcs
from which he has derived large ad.
vantage. A few facts will show how
this is. When he took up his residence
in Maine, be found 1t important to ident.
ify himself with the lumber interests of
the Kennebec. Gov. Coburn, the mil.
lionalre, and other men of like business
deemed 1t desirable to'have at the State
Capital champion to look after lcgis.
lation affecting their special interests.
MIR. Blaine's smartness at log-rolIing
and his indefatigable pcrsistency in nc.
complishing his purpose commended
him to the favor of this particular
class. From that time to the present
he has been true to them, and hence IN
the Congressional investigation he is
found manipulating for and with them
large operations in railroad bonds.
On going TO Congress, Mr. Blaine
carried with him the championship of
the same special class. When he be-
gan to aspire to the Presidency be
found his relations to the lumber in
tercsts in Maine had been 80 servicea-
Bile in promoting his personal ambition
that he naturally sought to concentrate
the entire Western lumber States upon
himself In this he was successful.
Long before the meeting of the Gin
cinnati Convention, the kilograms from
the belt of timber States were attract
ing public attention in their unaccount-
able enthusiasm for this rising sun IN
the extreme East. This apparently
spontaneous popularity in the West
gave him a prestige of success in other
sections of the country. But the secret
of II was, that Mr.. Blaine had made
his devotion to the lumber interests
such speciality thet his competitors
found themselves outgeneraled in their
own section. Morton, who was natur.
ally the coming man from the West,
was almost ignored by States in his
own section. When the balloting com.
menced at Cincinnati, Michigan led of
with the larger number for Blaine
Wisconsin followed with an unbroken
front for him. Minnesota did the same
thing. Iowa, dependent on these lum.
bcr Statcsand naturally identified with
them, followed in the same track.
Dakota Joined the column, Montana
tell into line, and then idaho, and
Washington and Oregon brought up
the rear. These facts throw light on
his present antagonism to Carl Schurx
and his policy.
No man can object 10 Mr.. Blaine's
friendship for the respectable and in.
huential class to which reference has
been made. But when, as in case Of
his opposition to a reciprocity treaty
with Conada, he allows himself to war
against New England interests al large,
or when he steps into the ring to pre-.
vent the Secretary Of the Interior from
enforcing the laws against timber
thieves, the country should be warned
against permitting bis personal ambi.
ton tothwart its its interests, and look
elsewhere than TO him for the promo.
ton Of the common good Boston
Post.

crs, and had To be added to the then
existing burdens on tho Taxpayers.
That art was an iniquily which no
plausible prctcnces have pallia,cd, and
II was driven through the House with
out debate, under the gag of the pre-
vious question, which served to con
finn tho belief that ring of capitalists
stood behind tho bill, who knew that
such a scheme would not bear discus
sion. The Senate finished the work
quickly, and the patriots who prosper
cd addition, division and silence went
on their way rejoicing Ten days after
the passage of this law proposition
was offered in tho House TO tax the
bonds, which tho Republicans defeated
by unanimous vote on the record.
Mr. Boutwell, at that time was Sec.
rotary of the Treasury, and hc became
possessed of the false idea that the
people who had borne the brunt of the
civil war and had made the greatest
sacrifices to prcscrve the Union, should
also pay Off the enormous debt which
had necessarily been piled mp in four
years of desperate strife. To carry
out this policy, it was indispensable
that taxation on imports and by in
ternal rcvenuo should he kept up to
the highest point. Hence the pressure
was constantly applied, not only to
meet the redemption Of bonds twenty
years before they became due, bnt in,
directly to support great monopolics,
protected by ring tariff from which
the great part Of the public revenue
was extortcd.
Besides these oppressive taxes, the
reports of the treasury show that il
cost nearly a hundred million Of dol
lars to give effect 10 Mr.. Boutwell's
scheme OF reducing the public debt
from the close OF the war forward
Here are the official figures

All this vast expenditure was made
in the interest OF bondhOlders, who,
under tho law creating the debt, have
no legal claim whatever to receive a
dollar in gold or silver. The exchange
from legal tenders to coin was the re-
suit of procured legislation. Conse-
quently, not only the five hundred mil
lions which were tho direct result OF
this transformation, went into their
pocket, but the Treasury paid out nearly
a hundred millions more TO put up
their value still higher If there is
any other record Of legislation and ad-
ministration in the direct interests Of a
special class like this, it has escaped
our notice. And with all our strong
convictions for honest and sound con.
stitutional money, as not only just but
polite, we are bound to say that the
authors of this system have provoked
much of the resentment that is now
exhibited eyorvwhere. N Y SIM

The Solid South.

The South is not solid as it seemed when
the Republicans and independents are all
counted But it was doubtless more solid
in the late election than it will ever be
again. There are good reasons TO believe
that the color line is breaking down very
rapidly in all the Southern States and the
following remarks in a recent number of the
New Orleans Picayune show the drift of po-
litical thought in the South; 1T is certain
that there will always be party in Louis
lana in opposition to the democracy. The
conservative citizens, heretofore driven in
one direction by outside tyranny and there
is removed may exercise more freedom,
more independence and more individualism.
For years it has been held unpatriotic for
any white Louisianian to attempt to defeat
the will of the conservative party, and well
we know that those citizens Of the state
who gave aid and comfort to the radical
party before 1877 made themselves entirely
and permanently odious. But the time is
coming when new party may be expected
here, and when many white citizens will
not deem united action so essential as to
override all party differences" We observe
that many journals are already making VI
lists of the next Presidential vote, and both
sides have the habit of counting all the
Southern States for the democratic party

SUPPLEMENT-.

John to that lonely rock our Saviour beguiled
the long and weary hours by giving him visions
of that building Of Cod" but even John, so
striking in his descriptive powers, fails here. lie
remembered the golden streets, because he had
walked thereon AS his own life had been one of
struggle and grief, he remembered there were no
sorrows and no tears there lie remembered
those nights of solitude and darkness on that
barren rock, and so he remembered that there
was no night in heaven. He knew that the
"gory of God did tighten it," for he had been
wrapped in its halo and briancy. But how little,
after all. does he tell us Of that building of
God" 1t lis well that the description is thus in
definite II more were told US, it would seem SO
wonderful, in our limited development that we
would scarcely believe it.
Let us rest on the assurance that God has built
IL. "a house not made with hands" also says
Paul He was addressing the Corinthians, and he
desired to give them some idea OF the creative
power OF God. Corinth WAS a rival of Athens, a
city of architectural beauty and splendor. Mag
nifcent public buildings adorned it, but the Cor
inthians knew that human hands had made them,
and at cost OF great labor and sacrifice Paul
desired to impress upon them, by contrast that
heaven would be purely creative work Of God.
viii God think anything too good for those for
whom he has done so much to redeem
What more of this building of God" All! it
is the most glorious assurance of all. 1t is eter-
nal in the heavens" We should despair il there
were any reason to believe that when the soul left
the body it only went up on a little higher plane,
there to renew its struggle with temptation and
sin. II the assurance Of Paul be ours, then the
most luminous point in life will be that in
which we shall go up from storm and peril to our
home in this building of God"

The New York Sun-the boss fraud shouter
and glorifer of Tilden-thus coolly takes
down its idol and gives it sculpture: "And
thus the Democratic party has been finally
broken and degraded, if not destroyed; so
that from this party, as it now exists before
us the observer cannot draw strength for
single patriotic hope. 1t now makes little
practical difference whether in the election
of 1880 Mr.. Tilden should or should not be
candidate. No statesman would be desir-
ous except under some grave public neces-
sty, to bear standard on which, even be-
fore the battle, black and deadly disaster is
seen to perch While we should be ashamed
to doubt Mr.. Tilden's personal integrity, we
are yet constrained to say that it is proved
and admitted through the publication of
the cipher kilograms, that during his Presi-
dental campaign he suffered clique of po-
litically immoral people to surround him, to
act for him, and to compromise him. We
knew at the time that some of these persons
were profoundly foolish, and we denounced
them Tor their Stiffness; but it now appears
that this was not their worst endowment.
At any rate, they have proved themselves
able to fatally injure what they could never
have built up. Their imbecility and their
immortality could never create anything, but
with the extraordinary confidence reposed
in them, their power for mischief was great
indeed. They have sufficed to damage the
character OF a lifetime, and they have
wrought deplorable mischief to the course
of public affairs. Mr.. Tilden will not again
be the Presidential candidate of any party

The Hard Times.

In the midst of the hard times and bust
ness depression which exist among us it is
well to remember that the same state of
things exists throughout nearly the whole
world. Especially is this true in Scotland.
The effects of the Glasgow failure are more
and more extending to the industrial classes
The Lancashire cotton mills have shut down.
The few shipbuilders on the Clyde who con-
tiuue operations have made another reduc
ton in wages. There is a threatened re-
duction Of rates among farm laborers, and
they have combined to resist it, In the
manufacturing districts there is large in
crease in pauperism, in spite of the most
energetic efforts for relief. The deposits in
savings banks are either diminishing or re-
naming stationary, thus showing that the
laboring classes are exhausting their little
boards instead of adding to them. In the
meantime heavy failures continue, each ad-
ditional house that goes down swelling the
number of unemployed. The Indian branch
of business and trade seems in a sorry con-
dition, there being notable falling off in
the volume of transactions and profits. And
to all this must be added the uncertain and
perplexing outlook on account of foreign
complications.
