The Importance of providing some linn
itatiOu OF time within which Gains
against the Government shall be- pre-
srn,cd, or for want of such presentation
forever barred, Is again urged upon the
attention of Congress. 10 may be as
sumed that any claim in behalf of an
individual who Is IN position tO pre-
sent will, 10 well founded, Do" presented
for payment within six years from the
time when the claimants right first 0C-

A GOOD WORD FOR NATIONAL RANKS. .
Hcdrirnds National banks vigorously
AMI says.
The advantages of this system over
anv system of banks hitherto devised
are that their circulating notes are So
cured beyond pcraiveuture of loss; they
are of universal credit mn the country
wherever issued; they are more perfect
Is protected from CuuUtcriglt.Ug, they
cqualilc exchanges between distant
parts OF the country, they are promptly
redeemed on demand no one common
place; the banks are subject to strict
and vigiigut surveillance by independent
officers of the government; their condl-
ton is frequently made known % the
public: and they contribute 4 very large
percentage of their profits in the way Of
taxes. 4 system of banking that, after
an existence of sixteen years, through
war and periods of great initiation and
great depression, has produced such re-
suits, may fairly appeal Tor the CONT
denCr and support OF Congress.
ArARIFF REDUCTION ADVOCATED.

Successful Forgery in Canada-Aid for

Turning the Balance Of Trade.


LONDON, December 1.-The Times, in
financial article, says: Among other
evidences OF the reviying capacity OF
Europe to counteract the adverse trade
balance with the United States, are ad-
vices from Germany which show that
one million hundred weights of steel
blocks have been sold for shipment to
America, by Krupp and others.
Aid for Irish Sufferers.
LONDON, December IAN appeal
from Cardinal Manning for subscrip-
tons TO alleviate the distress in Ireland
was read in all the Catholic churches
of the metropolis yesterday. 1t is stated
that in the West of Ireland such hunger,
poverty aid want are now to be seen as
have never been known since the great
Irish famine. A general collection for
this purpose is appointed for Sunday
next.
London Times on Hayes Message.
LONDON, December 1.-The Times, in
an editorial discussing the message OF
President Hayes, to Congress, says:
If legal tender notes in circulation be
called in and cancelled silver dollars
must take their place, and the existing
plethora be relieved, further relief will
come in due time from the natural ac-
ton of trade money that has flowed in
such profusion from Europe to the Uni
ted States that it cannot always remain
there. It's presence will soon be felt in
the use of prices throughout the Union,
and as soon as a rise has been estab-
lished a demand for European goods
will follow, and the current OF money
from the eastern to the western shores
of the Atlantic will be arrested, if not
reversed. A process of this kind can
not be completed within week or
month, but its developments may be
anticipated as confidently as the move
ment of tides.

SHERMAN'S SEND OFF.
HIsFIRsT REPORT SINCE RESUMPTION
He Wants the Amount Of Greenbacks Re-
duced-War on the Silver Dollar
The Document on Which he
Bases His Presidential
Aspirations.

Secretary Sherman's annual report is 4
most voluminous document, embOdying
his peculiar views on finance at length
at great length.
RETIREMENT OF GREENBACES.
lie pitches into greenbackS in this
style, after recommending that they be
cancelled and retired until the amount
is reduced to SSO,OOO,OOO. The Secretary
respectfully calls the attention Of Con-
gresS to the question whether United
States notes ought still to be a legal
tender in the payment OF debts. The
power of Congress to make them such
was upheld by the Supreme Court. The
power to reissue them in time OF peace,
after they are once redeemed, is still con-
tested in that court.
The chief objection To the emission Of
paper money bv the gOyenmtnt grows
out of the legal tender clause, for with
out this the United States note would
be measured by its convenience in use,
its safety and its prompt redemption.
In war, and during a grave public eX-
igency, other considerations may proper
IN prevail; but It would seem that dur
ing peace, and especially during times
OF prosperity and surplus revenue, the
prOmiSSOry note of the United States
ought to stand ike any other promis-
sory note. IL should be current money
only by being promptly redeemed in
coin on demand.
Ii would seem, therefore, that now,
and during the maintenance of redemp-
ton, il is a useless and objectionable as
sertiOn OF power, which Congress might
now repeal on the ground of eXpediency
alone When 10 il considered that its
cOnstitutiOnality Is seriously contested,
and that from It's nature IL is subject 20
grave abuse, il would now appear TO be
wise tO withdraw the exercise of such
power, leaving It in reserve, TO be again
reSor,ci to i'm such period of war or
grave emergency as existed IN 1862.
HE OrrOSFs THE SILVER DOLLAR.
He wants the further coinage Of the
silver dollar limited, and saws The
total amount of silver dollars coined 20
November I. 1879. under the act of Feb
ruary =, 1875, was S45, ,2y6, 200, of which
Sl3,OO2. 662 was in circulation, ami the
remainder, -, ,2OSSjS, i'm the treasury
at that time. No effort has been spared
10 put this coin in circulation. Owing
10 IT'S limited coinage 10 has been kept at
par, but its Tree coinage would soon re-
duce It's current value % It's bullion val
ne, and thus establish a single silver
standard. The inevitable result would
be 10 exclude gold coin coin from Circu-
lation. Ii Is impossible to ascertain
what amount of silver coin, based upon
the ratio of sixteen of silver % one OF
gold; hut il is manifest that this can
only be- done by the government holding
in It's vaults the great body OF the silver
coin.

dent Hayes aea- upon the attempt
( Of a Democrat rress to subordi-
nate National e authority, and
which we prNh 1 in our last issue,
seems to havu -en received by the
same degree Of favor a. the hands of
the public which characterized the re-
ception of his first. He shows that
the law as it now stands is in effect
the same that has been handed down
in an unbroken line from the forma-
ton Of the Government, and that it
has more than once by u rigorous en-
forcement prevented the disintegra-
ton of the Union. In Cur opinion,
those who assume that military IN
reference, as they are pleased to
term it, is calculated to deprive legal
voters of the right of suffrage do not
occupy tenable ground. The presence
of military force at the polls is con-
tenplated by law as only a means Of
preserving the peace. The law seeks
to deprive no legal voter of the right
to cast one rote, while it also aims at
the same time to protect every legal
voter in his right to cast one rote.
The President and the Republican
party sustain this just lava Demo
cratic Congress oppose it. The rule
Of common honesty applied to this
question win vindicate the Republican
party in the position it has taken.
