II the portcailis OF legislation were
heisted just a little bit it would be readily
seen how. m,leh the public wanted. But
while it Is not probable that much is likely
TO be considered, there are a few things
which should by no means be entirely ne
elected. ,.s ,s,.f..,.s
The obstacle in the way OF equalizins
gold and SILVER coin ought first OF all TO o., De
removed. This. it Is understood, will DE
taken up atonce.% We would that 1t were
possible to pass a bill making the gold and
silver coins really equal with each other ~
value. We fear this will hardly succeed
but we doanot despair OF something being
done that will receive the Presidents ap-
proyalan that will facilitate the business

There are other matters that should not
take much time and that could be done into
good acts. There is a'want Of a good bank
ruptcy act. A wise one, shielded from the
corrnp:ions and villainies that cursed that
not long since repealed, would be beneiac-
tion to the country. q -. -,
There. are still great many men whose
energies Dug hit to be liberated, that they may
be restored to the common stock. OF forces
that would swell the power and thrift OF the
coustry. They want relief IN, a way that
cannot fail to be beneficial to the country.
Without that relief they must continue de.
pressed and restrained, to the general in

Such a bill, II Congress can pass it, would
be good for the country; and, we repeat. II
the body addresses itself to the subj ect with
the single object OF the public good, there
can hardly be afailure in the passage Of o
really beneficial measure. iE >'ss'a ~
Another subject which We have long con:
sidered one of dignity that should force II
upon Congress is the establishment of rate
OF interest for money. =. eg.,.r..s d.
1t should be the object of Congress to
pursue the policy Of reducing the rate OF
interest upon money. The, National Gov
eminent has established in nearly the whole
public debt per cent. as the maximum
rate OF Government interest, and Congress
should not fail upon any. opportunity to re-
duce the interest paid by the people. There
Is too much tax on national banks, and II
should be. diminished wherever possible
The people should receive this consitiera.
ton at the hands OF their Representatives,
who are unquestonably neglecting their
highest duty In emitting the attention they
owe to this very impo rtant ubiect.
