THE BLOATED BONDHOLDER
POPULARIZED.

1t is not the part of any sound think
err on finance and political economy to
declare that national debt can ever be
an absolute national blessing. A debt
is sum to be paid, and principal and
interest must finally, in one shape or
another, be substracted from the mate
rial resources of the debtor, whether ma
tion or individual. But, if never pos
tive, we must grant that there are de-
grees in which q national debt can be q
national curse. The necessary evils of
q great national debt are minimized
best in two methods-by having the
debt held largely at home, and by hav-
ing it widely distributed at home. In
these two ways not only the solvency of
q people that can carry its own debts
attested, but the interest money used at
home and owned at home becomes to a
measurable degree local stimulus of
trade. What is Of vastly more impor-
lance the people as a whole become iden-
titled with their debt, and through it
with their national institutions. The
men who can never be reached by the
ordinary appeals to their patriotism, and
who remain sluggish members of the
body polite so long as no fiscal link
binds them personally to the government
are endowed with public thoughtful
ness with amazing suddenness when they
became bondholders.
The successful effort of Mr.. Sherman
to pupularize the bloated bondholder
among the poorer classes would be
cheering if there were no other reasons
for it than the foregoing. But there is
far greater and better reason why we
should rejoice over it, namely, that il
mitigates and well-nigh removes what
was only so late as last autumn a ma.

GEN. GRANT ON THE CHINESE
QUESTION.

In response to an address from a
Chinese delegation, in the Island of
Penang, General Grant said it afforded
him a special pleasure to receive the ad-
dress which had just been read. He was
about to visit China, having received a
warm invitation to do so, and he was
anxious to see with his own eyes the
institutions and people of that country.
To be met with welcome from China
men in this colony. therefore. YVES graft
flying. There was one point in the
address in reference to the passage by
Congress of bill restricting the emigra-
tion of Cinnamon to the United States.
He knew nothing of such bill except
what he had read in the telegraphic dis
patches in the last English newspapers.
He knew nothing of the details of the
bill. He had been absent from the
United States for some time, and was
imperfectly informed of the public senti-
ment which had supported its passage.
In all questions like this there were
demagogues who, in America as in other
countries, pander to prejudices against
race or nationality, and favor any meas

heroic measures were resorted to, to
prop up their lettering fortunes. Each
hired one or more stalwart damsels to
stand in front of her establishment and
gather in unwary passers of the feminine
denomination. Their instructions were
positive to bring in customers peacea-
bly, if possible, but in any case to bring
them in.
The practical working of this new
system may be inferred from brief but
pathetic quotation from the petition to
which l have already referred: 1.-THE
millinery business on Division street has
been lately and is still carried on in a
most disgraceful manner-so much SO
that a respectable lady is unable to walk
through the street without being insult
ed by some of the girls who are hired
for the purpose of pulling ladies to pur-
chase hats against their will. It was
but lately that shawl was torn off a
woman's shoulder by trying to pull her
into the store. The other day a lady
passed through the street with a baby
in her arms, and one Of the girls of the
store trying to pull her in, almost drag
ged the baby out of her arms, and hun
dreds Of similar cases we cannot describe

His Honor has not yet sufficiently re-
covered from the shock produced upon
him by this startling document to decide
whether he will appeal 70 the President
for troops or trust entirely in this emer-
gency to the local militia. The Mayor
ought to act promptly and sternly IL
this matter, or the male population il

ure of oppression that might advance
their political interests. A good deal
of the antipathv toward people of other
races in the United States, of which we
heard so much, was demagogism, and
did not represent the better feeling of
the country. In this question of Chinese
emigration there was something to be
said in favor of those who advocated
a bill Initiating emigration Of the
Chinese to America. In his earlier
years, when a young officer in the
Army, the General said he spent
some time in California and saw there
something of the beginning of Chinese
emigration to the United States, and he
heard then objections to that emigration
on the part of the people. The settle
ment of California was the beginning of
this whole agitation. He remembered
very we'll the objections he then heard to
Chinese emigration. 1t was not to the
Cinnamon coming to the United States,
but to his coming in condition of
slavery. He never doubted, and no one
could doubt, that in the end, no matter
what agitation might for the time being
effect at home. the American people
would treat the Chinese with kindness
and justice, and not deny to the free and
deserving people of that country the
asylum they offer to the rest of the
world. Cor. n. 7. Herald.

When the temperance question was
brought up in the House, on Friday,
Mr.. Fernando Wood manifested pre-.
mature anxiety like that of the young
girl who wept because she might, in
time, marry and bear children, and her
first.born might fall into the cistern and
be drowned. Mr.. Frye's resolution was
that special committee be appointed to
consider bills, petitions, and resolutions
touching the liquor traffic which might
be referred to it. Mr.. Fernando Wood,
with great trepidation, opposed this in
nocent looking proposition. The COM
mittee, he argued, mi ght arrogate to
itself powers which do not belong to
Congress, and report bill which would
suppress the manufacture of liquor. This
would decrease the revenue to the extent
of about S2O,OOO,OOO year." Dread
full Mr.. Wood assumes that such a
committee would report such bill, and
that Congress would pass it, and that
the revenue would be injured, although
ouvlr powers belVug to Congress, much
less to any committee. In spite of Mr..
Woods forebodings, the House agreed
to constitute the committee, which was
good thing to do, especially as it is
said that there are 1000 grog-shOps

Avenue, and we shall quickly find the
motive and logic which transmute the
poor ranter about the rights of labor In
to a conservative citizens.
For such persons we can perhaps add
a few reasons why their own interests
of the rich, are opposed to the teaching
of the agitator and are absolutely de-
pendent on national honesty. If they
could look into the latest report of the
Comptroller of the Currency at Wash
ington, they would find that almost two
million and half of persons in this
country have deposits in the savings
banks, and that these savings banks in
turn had last year one hundred and
twenty nine millions of the money Of
their depositors invested in United
States bonds. How long, they may we'll
ask themselves, would the savings banks
be able to pay their depOsitors if fhe
government bonds became worthless pa
per through the Vaccinations of the In
flationist and the demagogue Or, let
them look at the national banks, which
are asserted to be the instruments to op-
press the poor. They will find that the
stockholders of those banks, so far from
being small and exclusive class, num-
Der more than two hundred and eigh'
thousand persons, of whom more thar
one hundred and four thousand hold les
than ten shares each and more than thir
ty-nine thousand hold twenty share
each and that the national banks las
year earned net on their capital and de
posits only fraction more than five ne
than any poor man can get to-day witt
absolute certainty by buying four pc
centum funding certificate at the Post
office.
If the workiAgman will consider thes
facts and take them to heart and min,
and apply them to his own case, we ma
look hopefully for the time when in thi

There are symptoms that Thurman
will appear shortly as peacemaker.
He says it will be folly to talk about
adjourning without voting supplies.
This sentiment puts him forward as a
cooler of the hot heads in his party, and
will give him a chance for noble mis-
sionary work in the caucus.
