THE business sentiment of the country
in regard to the Potter resolution and the
revolutionary plans of the Democrats finds
voice in the New Yor Bulletin, a CONNER
cial journal discussing public affairs with ref
erence to business interests, and not from
partisan standpoint. The Bulletin says:
The attempt to reopen the question is IA
grant act OF party bad faith, which, If consum-
mated, would establish precedent in politics
that might imper the future internal harmony
OF the country. But these considerations, how
ever important they may be, are really only
secondary. The agitation now started, il per-
sisted IN to the extent seemingly contemplated,
may involve very serious consequences to the
peace and harmony of the United States The
settlement effected in 1877 was readily accepted
because it was better alternative than revolu-
tiOn; aud if that settlement is now to be over
thrown, what have we but renewal of the
horrible alternative that was then summed
with the consent of all parties. The gentle
men who ale so f1Dpantly Jealous to reopen
this issue are regarded by the people as simply
playing very reckiessly with fire; and that is
course which not one in a thousand citizens
will sanction. The nation is already beset
with perplexing, problems enough without re-
vlving an issue fraught with still greater dam
depression which it would be criminal to inten-
sify by restoring the apprehensions that ex-
listed in the first three months of 1877, from the
effects of which we are still suffering. The
country will put its mark upon the men or the
party who lend themselves to this effort to
create strife that is threatening to every in

The Mexican party is in line under the
right banner at tlast-"Revolution."
Cronin is rubbing up his nose in anticipa-
ton of another National exhibition at the
public expense.
The country intimates that if there is to
any revolutionizing done it proposes to take
hand itself,
Large odds are now offered with no takers,
that Mr.. Pelton will not be the next Presi-
dents Private Secretary.
If the investigators attack the Presidents

do not, majority of the Democratic organs
throughout the country are preparing very
unwholesome dish Of crow.
Soliloquy by Glover: $50 you laughed at
me, did you, Mr.. Potter, because I could not
atch Republican in pond full of Demo-
Gratis Now you have tried it and have caught
yourself before your hook reached the water"
The able Democratic editor is relieved from
the unsavory work of asking his readers to
be stupid enough to believe his party does
not aim at revolution. The party has con-
fessed.
The Democratic House set Mr.. Potter's
committee up in the investigating business
because they believed there were votes in It,
The theory was undoubtedly correct, il they
meant Republican votes.
This delay about bringing Secretary Sher-
man and Mr.. Potter's committee together,
is rather annoying, but it isn't Mr..
Sherman's fault. Mr.. Potter has good deei
OF trouble in getting his committee to huddle
up, while Mr.. Sherman seems. to be a highly
organized quorum all the the the time. Ny.
Tribune.
The Democrats pretend TO believe that the
Republican Congressmen made mistake in
not voting for Harrison's resolution. That
is to say, they think the Republicans ought to
declare that the Democrats do not intend
revolution. What good would that do? The
Republicans refrained from voting in order to
give the Democrats a chance to say so for
themselves and they refused to do it. That
is the whole story.
Ex-President Woolsey is convinced that
the Potter resolution is simply an attempt to
unseat the President. He tells a reporter of
the New Haven Register that he thinks the
movement will result in great injury to the
business interests of the country, and that no
man can foresee the final result. He calls it
brazen-faced and ex-parte investigation
which has been started for Democratic gain
only. If the object is to give the party the
elections this Fall it will certainly fail What
the country wants now sis not petty politi-
cal quarrels, but legislation which will bring
about good financial condition, reward in
dustry, and have tendency to restore conf
dence at home and abroad" That is the
public sentiment precisely, and no Impartial
man can deny that the whole course of the
Democratic party in this Congress has been
directly antagonistic to it. The only whole
some legislation which has been enacted has
been secured by the Republicans in spite of
Democratic opposition.

GFrom "Money," by f. A. walker.1
The Paner Money of the Revo,utio,


OF the emissions of paper money during
the Revolutionary period of our history, we
have accounts from a great variety of sources.
Inasmuch as those authorized by the Cont
mental Congress were made under single and
constant impulse, viz, the Overwhelming
financial necessities of the new government
engaged in desperate struggle for existence,
the facts can be briefly stated.
The question has sometimes been raised by
economists whether issues of iuconvertible
paper money are ever really necessary, even in
time of war. However this question might
be decided with reference to ordinary govern
ments, the situation of the Continental Con-
giess must be admitted to have been highly ex-
ceptional. In only qualified sense was it q
government at all. 1t had no co-ercive power.
1t could not levy taxes EveR its moral author
ity over the constituent states was very slight,
Its requisitions for money,its recommend ations
Of policy were treated with neglect if not with
open contempt. The States, with one or two
honorable exceptions hardly made show of
doing their duty by the government of the Con-
federation. There are few more distressing
chapters in history than that which records the
delinquency of the States which had pledged
life, fortune and sacred honor to the cause of
American Independence.
The first emission of continental bills of cred-
it was ordered in June, 1775, the amount being
$1,000 900; in July 81 100000 was ordered; in
November, $4,000. 900. During 1776 the ennis
sions amounted to $40. 100000.
"The United States" says Dr.. Ramsay, "for
aconsiderable time derived as much benefit from
this paper creation of their own, though with
out any established funds for its support or re-
demption, as would have resulted to them
from the free gift of as many Mexican dollars
But there was point, both in time
and quantity, beyond which this congressional
alchemy ceased to operate. This time was
about eighteen months from the date of their
first issue, and that quantity about $50 0O0,-
0O0." History of the United States, ii, 3Os-9l

estimated the amount of Continental bills

THIS is the latest version of Peter Piper,
with the nams in the fable changed by the
World to apply to an eminent New York phil
anthropist: "Peter Cooper paid for poking
political papers before persons in all places, and
if the political papers Peter Cooper paid for
poking before persons in all places were not
poked before people in every place, where were
the political papers that Peter Cooper paid for
pokng before persons in all places pokedp"
The application is to the suit for SANDER
brought against Mr.. Cooper by Wallace p.
Groom. The defendant when he was candl-
date for President in 1876 paid the plaintiff
S5O,0OO for distributing Cooper tracts in New
York and doing other campaign work. IIe
became convinced that Groom misused the
money and wrote letter accusing him of
dishonesty. Groom, who says he distributed
the tracts according to agreement, now sues
Mr.. Cooper for $4,000, claiming that his
character has been damaged that worth. He
ought not to recklessly exposed so costly and
delicate an article.

IT is difficult to see any material conces-
sions in Count Schouvaloff's scheme. Russia
signifies her willingness to revise the bound
aries of the new Bulgaria, to reduce the in
demnity, and to enter a congress wherein
shall be discussed the dead treaty of Paris.
But to these things she has never been
strongly opposed. She still claims Bessarabia
and still declines to submit the treaty of San
Stefano to the decision of the congress. As
England's objection to that treaty is the pre-
ponderating power which it gives Russia in
Turkey, and as that power is not relinquished
it is improbable that the trifing concession
offered by Schouvaloff will satisfy her.
