TROUBLE has come-Congress is at it

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1879-12-06

THIS is the time to rid the country of
an enormous legal tender currency. The
nation is prosperous. the influx of golt.
from Europe is vast and increasing. the
stability of resumption is assured, and
the press Of the country is by powerful
majority in favor of the proposed ch ange.
Ii can be effected without danger. and
it cannot be neglected without peril
Secretary Sherman expresses the popular
feeling in his annual report. when he re-
commends the repeal of the legal tender
clause. He believes that part of the Sink
ing Fund can be safely invested in United
States notes. which. Oh being called III.
are to be cancelled until the amount in
circulation is reduced to $500 900. 600. as
provided by the Resumption Act. He
wisely suggests that the issue of legal
tender notes should be restricted to such
emergencies as that of 1862. and calls at
tention to the question yet before the
has power to reissue such notes in time
of peace. The immense amount of legal
tation To rash speculation and the coin
with which to redeem a large part of the
notes is now lying idle in the Treasury.

IT is habit with the unpatriotic in our
own country and with unfriendly foreign
ers to liken the vast territory of the
United States to an immense mass which
must, sooner or later, break to pieces by
its own weight. But this is a mistaken
simile. Our very size is our very protec-
ton. Whereas the g. asa, 16S square miles
of the total area of Europe are divided
among number of nations. each Jealous
of the others, our 1904. 800 square miles
are under one government. Germany is
perpetually in fear of Russia. Austria and
France. Austria has to guard against
Russia, Turkey. Germany and Italy: even
insular England cannot keep out oftrou-
Bile, and the stronger powers are inces-
sanity threatening and abusing the weak
er ones and each other. The balance OF
power is maintained. like the level of tn,
sea in the midst of connection. With
one government, and that a friendly ter
ritorial one, on the north and one on the
south incapable of harmine us, and ,jeal-
Gus of no one. we are safe with regard t.
our frontiers and can give our whole at
tention to our own affairs.

The hospitality of philadelphia is famous.
1t is peculiar. 1t is no more generous
than, and not so subperb as, that of New
York, but it is less ostent atious and more
hearty and homelike. Besides the best
Philadelphia society is not divided up in
to cliqnes, nor alienated by professional
animosities, rs in other cities. The jour
nalists, the leading professional men and
the educated wealthy men. all join heart
lily in social pleasures.
1t is not strange that Gen. Grant has
such special liking for Philadelphia.
And Philadelphia knows ii. and has pre-
pared week OF hospitable demonstra-
tions in his honor that promise to leave
little to be done in that line elsewhere
For whole week the city government.
the Clubs, the leading citizens, and Mr..
Childs especially. will make the enter
tainment of Gen. Grant their main bust
ness. and that they will exhaust the re-
sources of rich and prodigal hospitality
there can be no manner Of doubt.
