THE SECRETARY AND THE CURRENCY.

THE SECRETARY AND THE CURRENCY.
The recommendations of Secretary SHER-
MAN in his annual report relating to the
legislation required to secure the ultimate
fruits of resumption have not, as we antici-
pated, met with general approval in the
Republican party, though they have re-
ceiyod some endorsement from the other
side. The differences indicated by Rcpub-
hcaus do not relate SO directly TO the heart
Of the question involved as TO the mex
pediency of opening il at tiis juncture.
THR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, has honestly
differed with the President and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in their coincident
recommendations, or perhaps we should
say suggestions, relating 20 the coinage of
silver and the retirement ofthe legal-tender
notes. We have heretofore candidly and re-
spectfully given our reasons for this differ
ence, and II affords us satisfaction TO believe
that our views find sympathy and accord
with n large majority of the Republicans in
both branches Of Congress. There seems to
be a general impression that the best interests
Of the party and of the country demand
that its financial condition shall remain
undisturbed. SO. we think, VIII be the final
judgment Of Congress.
We notice with satisfaction q reported
interview with Secretary SHERMAN on this
subject, which appears in the New York
Graphic of Friday, and in which lie is rep
resented as saying: My duty is performed
with my report. The question is with
Congress. l have no quarrel with those
"who differ from me-" This position is
clothed with manhood frankness and a
tolerant spirit, which entitle it TO respect.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN yields TO no
one in the respect it bears for the able and
discreet management of our National
finances under the administration of Secre-
tary SHERMAN. In" the funding of our
in the judicious and sllillful management
of the question of resumption, he has chal-
lenged the confidence, respect aud gratitude
of the American people; and what is more
he enjoys it MS just tribute to his finan.
cial ability. The only mistake that We
have discovered in what is termed thu
financial policy of Secsetary SHERMAN re
sides in his recommendations relating TO th
question of continued coinage of silver ant
the retiring of the legal-tender notes, ant
our objection to these centres more, per
haps, in the question of time than tn,
merits of that policy at some more remot,
period. We regard the recommendation a.
premature and inopportuue ut this moment

compliment In fact Judging from the
source whencoth suggestion of his nomina-
tion next year originated, there is nothing
complimentary about It, As cover for
UEIJoNEsrILDEN, he serves the purpose
Of the bar'l suckers, who are in duty bound
TO keep before the people the Democratic
necessity for carrying New York. And when
the time comes he will be discarded as re-
lentlessly and ruthlessly as Nephew PELToN
aud SMITH WEED were when the welfare
OF the Cipher Ogre seemed to require 1t.
But II is really sad spectacle to look upon
this old man SEYMOUR paying the penalty
OF past association with TWEED and TILDEN.
Even in his declining yearshe is called upon
to pay the debt he owes that famous brace
OF worthless. They stuffed ballot-boxes in
New York for him in 1863, and he is squar-
ing that account now by acting as make
shin or bogus political John the Baptist
for the surviving member of the firm.

sad grimaces over the fact. The Richmond

The action of the Read djusters, General MA

their limbs on the battlefield In defense of

been deprived of the power to earn liveli-
hood by manual labor, but can never, like the
soldiers of the North, hope to receive pension
or TO havo soldiers Home provided for them In
thoir declining years, is exciting the people
throughout the Commonwealth TO point that
indicates very strong reaction, and were the

degrading surrender, VIC would SEQ very
different result.

traitors and rebels in bloody effort TO
break up the Union, take the National life
and overthrow the Republic is rather cool
and refreshing in these days Of Cancellation

THE Raleigh IN. c. Ne'rs, in referring to
the fact that the Ku-Klux, the White
Leagues, the Red-Shirters and the Night
Liners no longer appear on the political sur
face admits that they have not been sup
pressed by State laws, but intimates that
they have been forced out of existence by
public opinion. The truth is, these organi-
cations only disappeared when they had
instituted n reign of terror which virtually
excluded the Republican voter from the
polls and all that they had contended for
was accomplished by intimidation, tissue
ballots, ballot-box stufIing, and false count
of the ballots. These processes are more
quiet and equally effective, and hence have
supplanted the others.

Cheap Standardization.
Minneapolis Tribune. |

The Paoneer-P7ess takes the trouble to have
this remarkable assertion telegraphed all the
way from Washington: s'The surest way to
determine the circulation of newspaper is by
the amount it pays to the government on the
copies that are sent through the mails" Now
knows that this is the least reliable way to de-
termine circulation. In the first place. postage
is paid by the pound, and not by the
number OF copies sent, SO that small
sized sheet, sending the same number of
copies, will pay only half the postage Of a sheet
twice its size. Again, the dalies Of largest cir
culation send the bulk of their outside circula-
tion by express to news dealers, and so pav no
postage on it. For instance, everybody knows
that the Chicago Times has the largest
daily circulation of any paper in Chi
cage; yet the records of the post
office department show that it pays far less
postage than the Chicago Inter Oce0,a. The list
of the amount of postage paid also gives the
New York Tribune larger circulation than the
Herald, which every weH-posted newspaper
man knows to be false. The He1,azd's circula-
ton is nearly double that of the Tribune
When the p. p, therefore, assumes that be
cause 1T pays more postage than the Chicago
Tribune it exceeds that paper in circulation it
makes itself laughing stock in the eyes of
those who are posted. Its claim to stand four
teenth on the list, in circulation, among the
dailies of the country because it stands four
teenth on the list in amount of postage paid
is equally preposterous. The p. p. must be
hard up for cause for self-gratulation when it
resorts to such cheap and long since exploded
device to deceive the unlnitiated.

Wretc7sed.
The canvass for the minor Offices in the
distribution of the Senate and House con-
tinues active. It is the old struggle for the
spoils A. G. Buell., the Democratic writer.
whose stirring appeals for the repeal Of the
supervisor law had marked effect upon the
extreme element here, and did much to bring
about an extra session, and whose pen has
been more potent in suggesting revolutionary
possibilities than that of all the Democratic
Journalists here combined, in his article this
morning thus describes the insatiate greed
for office: "Ihere is struggle between fit
ness and unftness, between usefulness and
uselessness, between alertness and inertia.
between brains aud imbecility, which
intelligent Senators ought not to be
many minutes in terminating after they get
together in caucus. Feeble hands are
stretched out on all sides in begging that
would be wicked if it were not so abiect, and
tremulous voices are raised from every quar-
ter in mendicancy that would be criminal if
it were not so pitiful for all these places
which fairly yearn for flesh, blood, brains
and muscle, unimpaired by age and m,
blenished by imbecility. It is not necessary
to mention names. In this case general
description identifies, and ordinary charac-
terization locates with an unerring and re-
morseless accuracy to which the addition of
a name would be needless cruelty.''

THE BUSINESS OUTDOOR.

The business outlook for the spring trade
was seldom more encouraging than at the
present time. Wholesale dealers in many of
the leading Western cities agree that collec-
tlons are unusually good, and orders quite
as encouraging as at any time since the panic
of 1878. The crops have been good, taking
the country as whole, and as a result there
is more money in the country than for
years past. The price of agricultural pro-
ducts, too, is better than for some time. and
as a consequence there have been large sales.
which have compelled the release of much
of the capital that has been boarded in the
banks during the winter. This being placed
in circulation, has been utilized in the nav
ment of long standing obligations, and the
retail dealer as we'll as the jobber has begun
to find himself once more in easy financial
circumstances.
The prospect of the present season for St.
Paul is not discouraging. While lack of
snow in the pineries has to considerable
extent interfered with the numbering bust
ness. there is no indication that there will
be lack of logs for manufacturing pur-
poses. a very slight rise in the river, which
