The Practical Results of the War
ncr Bill Illustrated.

The Financial Chronicle of last week calls
attention to the fact that within short peri
cd there had been shipped to the United
States in two consignments j3s, 900 trade
dollars. collected in China and other Eastern
countries, for which their bullion price was
paid, which is about ~ cents each. Thee
trade dollars, it is understood, were sent 10
this country to pay for cotton, and were
passed off for legal tender dollars. though
worth but ss cents each in purchasing goods
which have their value fixed abroad. 70 put
the case a little clearer, one of these parties
had purchased wheat in the United States
for which he agreed to pay S400,0 and an
other purchased cotton, for which he was to
pay Sl3s. 900, but they were enabled to dis
charge these Liabilities by paying dollars
worth 80 cents each--dollars which cost them
that amount in legal tender money or goods.
They were thereby enabled to pay total
debt of 1913, 900 with money worth 473.4iO,
by which transaction the merchants and pro-
duccrs, or whoever else received those trade
dollars and put them out for goods, lost SG4, =
$50. 1t is the same in effect as if the Liver
pool merchants were enabled to discharge
their debt in the United States by paving So
or 30 cents on the dollar In this case the
merchants in the United States engaged in
the transaction would lose the discount. In
the case of the actual payment of the trade
dollars the loss will bc shared hy every man
who takes those So cent dollars for 100 cents
for labor or goods and then purchases food
and clothing with them. He will get only sS
or 90 cents worth for Il dollar which costs
him 100 cents.
Now if the Warner silver bill providing for
the free coinage OF silver had been passed it
would not be necessary for the Liverpool mer-
chant to go to the trouble of hunting up trade
dollars in China, but he could purchase silver
bullion anywhere. bring $3.50 worth of it to
our minis and receive therefor $1,000 in silver
dollars In Liverpool the $1,000 would pur-
chase only $500 worth OF goods, but here they
would be legal tender for $1,000 worth of la
Dor and the products Of labor. The Liver
pool merchant would consequently make
from from 500 to Sl20 per $1,000 ont of the
operation, and the people of the 'nitcd States
would eventually lose that amount.
And this is the free coinage of silver which
the Maine, Ohio and Iowa democratic conyen-
tions have declared for Boston Joufndi

romantic tale, now true we cannot say, Is
told of the late Prince Imperial, which serves
to explain the unusual grief betrayed by the
royal family at the untimely death THE young
Napoleon. The Prince, so goes the story,
was passionatey in love with the Princess
Beatrice, and at II ball one memorable night,
in the interval between the dances, she said
81 had rather see you in battlefield than in
a quadrille." Her wish was law to him, and
to the battlefield he went to prove his devo-
ton. On parting with the Queen she placed
diamond ring upon his finger, and it may be
that he then revealed his hearts secret.
When at length the news came that the fair
scion of noble house had been slain by the
savage asscgai, the Princess was overcome
with grief and remained long nsensible,
while Nictoria's visit to the Empress was
marked by the most profound tokens of sor-
row. The Prince of Wales said of the muir
dered Napoleon, II loved him as Il brother"
There is much to corroborate the story which,
if true, will cast only deeper regret over the
memory of one whose life was so full of
promise, and, alas, was blighted so soon.

Greenback Lunacy.

Tho schemes which greenback Con-
gressmen attempted to push through Con-
gress are good evidence of the lunacy with
which they are afflicted. The representa-
tives from Maine of the greenback persua-
sion, when they were not following the
lead of the Confederate Brigadiers, devot-
ed themselves to the advocacy of imitation
measures. Mr.. Ladd, however, though
elected by the votes of republicans in the
Fourth district, thought of but little after
getting into Congress except to walk in
humble subserviency to the wishes of the
old Bourbon leaders of the House. His
votes and acts completely ignore the idea
that he was indebted to republicans for his
election. His chief aim seemed to be TO
make himself useful to the democracy
Mr.. Murch is as much democrat as Mr.
Ladd. but found time to introduce in the
House five bills "for the relief of the peo-
pie" These bills are described and men
toned in the Tribune as follows:
One of them provides for an issue of
SGT, 000, 900 of fractional currency, which
is to be receivable for all public dues to
the amount Of 50, and exchangeable for
United States notes in any sums not less than
IS. 1t is to be paid out by the treasury in
exchange for subsidiary silver coins, which
are thereupon to be Immediately recoined
into silver dollars which are to be used by
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay for
all government bonds now due and unpaid,
and to pay interest on all other bonds, sex
cept where it is expressly provided by law
that said interest shall be payable in cur
rency.h Having thus provided for an in
fiation of the currency TO the extent of
$50 200, 900 and made direct assault on the
public credit, Mr.. Murch, hardly waiting to
take breath, brought forward another bill,
in which he proposedto stop the refunding
operations of the Treasury Department,
which had just then been signalized by
the greatest financial triumph in the his
tory of this or any other government.
This bill also provided for All immediate
imitation of the currency to the extent of
about $500, 900, 900, paying off that amount
of government bonds Tin lawful money
or greenbacks. 1t also provided for the
like Reputation OF the remainder of the
public debt a. it falls due.
The third bill by which Mr.. Murch pro-
posed to relieve the people provides that
the 49,, 200, 900 of trade dollars which
have been coined for use in China shall be
for one year, receivable "for
all debts and demands, including customs
dues. owing TO the United States,'' and
that all the trade dollars SO received shall
be immediately reeoined into standard
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1879-07-23

silver dollars and added to the amount on
hand and in circulation.
The Maine statesman was still unap-
peased. He felt that something more was
necessary 'for the relief of the people"
He accordingly offered two other bills
which are somewhat obscure in their pro
visions, but which appear to require that
"all laborers. workmen, mechanics, team
STEERS, watchmen and shipkeepers employed
by or i'm behalf of the United States at
any time within the last eleven years. shall
receive 20 per cent in addition to the sums
already paid, them. TO carry out these
provisions the appropriation Of an un-
known sum. but not less than 5000, 900
will be required. And it is understood that
Mr.. Murch Will himself be one of the ben
eficaries. The above gratuity Mr.. Murch
proposes that the Government shall pay to
a class of men who have already been
paid more for dong less work than has
been receivad by similar employees in pri-
Ndlt iOI tpiilG iliOlt WI n.
This bill will hardly endear Mr.. Murch to
the great mass of workingmcn every
where who are not in the employ of the
Government
But Mr.. Murch was not alone in intro
dncing crazy projects 'tor the relief of
the people. Wright. Weaver. DE La
Matyr, and Gillette, were as conspicuous
with their grcenback plasters as Murch.
The following summary shows nearly
how much money would be required to
satisfy the bills Introduced by these five
of the fourteen greenback representatives
in the short extra session of three and one
halt months. Should this party be in
creased in Congress to a majority their
financial operations would be wonderful
and fearful to behold.
