Our Financial System.

EXTRACTS FROM LORD BACON ON sEDITIoNs.
''Above all things, good policy is to be
used, that the treasure and monies in a
State be not gathered into few hands; for,
otherwise, a State may have great stock
and yet starve; and money is like muck,
not good except it be spread.
"This is done chiefly by suppressing or at
the best, keeping a strait hand upon the de-
vouring trades of usury, engrossing, great
patronages, and the like"
The above extracts need no modification
to be applied to our own time aud country.
The wealth is gathered into few hands, viz
the parvenu nsillionaires, the railroad, hank.
ing and other corporations. And yet the
"State," that is the body of the people,
"starve" because the money, which is said
to be abundant, is not to spread out like
manure among them, but it is kept in heaps.
The other remedy of "suppresslng" abuses
is not praeticed by our government, but the
contrary. The abuses are encouraged by
our whole system and laws. The monopoly
or s'engrossing" of wealth is fostered by the
law makers, aud the whole bonded system is
Ha trade of usury."

A Proper Measure.

Representative Payson rep, of
illinois,, from the Committee on Coin
age, has reported a bill providing
that the standard silver dollar be
made the unit of value. This silver
dollar was the unit of value from
the beginning of the government down
to 1873, when silver was demOnetized at
the instance of the money powers. The
subsidiary silver coins shall be made OF
full standard value, and all the gold and
silver coins authorized by law are made
a legal tender for all sums at their NOM
inal value.
The bill also proposes an extension
of the plan of issuing silver certificates
based on deposits ofsilver bullion. The
accompanying report says that as the
law now stands, provision is made for
obtaining certificates on the deposit OF
gold coin or gold bullion, or standard
silver dollars; and there is no reason
why the same privilege should not be
extended as right to the holder of sll
yer bullion.
In the not distant future the interest
bearing securities of the Government
will be paid, and the gradual extinction
of the national debt must of necessity
work the gradual extinction of the pres
ent national bank notes. These certifi
Gates, in denominations corresponding
with those of the present currency, will,
it is believed, aid largely in supplying
any vacancy The report closes by urg-
ing the adoption of the plan proposed.
Notwithstanding the recommendations
of the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury that the act requiring the issue
of silver certificates should be repealed,
and then be early retired from circula-
ton"
Mr.. Payson, the author of the forego
inc report is classed as Republican,
but On the financial issue he will answer
for a Democrat of the school to which we
belong.

IaDning's Proposed Amendment
I Y Herald /

n. . I1eTdlu
Mr.. Manning has proposed an amend
ment to the constitution taking from the
courts of the United States their jurisdic-
tion of controversies "between citizens of
different States" This deals with the prime
cause of the great pressure of business in
both the Supreme and the lower federal
courts. These tribunals are burdened with
cases involving no national issue nor pre-
senting any question under the laws of the
United States, but brought in them simply
on the ground of interstate citizenship.
They are called upon to try the simplest
cases of contract, debt, etc, merely because
the parties are citizens of different States.
All such matters of purely State or local law
properly belong to the State courts and may
safely be left with them. Whatever may
have been the reasons for originally cloth
ing the federal courts with this jurisdiction
they have now lost their force. Mr.. Man
ning's amendment would give all the courts
Of the United States permanent relief with
out the necessity of any increase in the
number of Judges, and would make them
more efficient tribunals for the adjudication
of the controversies which properly belong
to them. If the amendment were adopted
it would be the best solution of the difficult
problem now presented by the pressing
needs of the federal judiciary.

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION So far as the
present tariff system is concerned it is an
imposition upon justice and common sense,
and we are in favor of its thorough revision.
We are in favor, moreover, of cutting off the
vast system af subsidies that has been i'm
posed upon the country by the monopoliez,
and the sooner this is done the sooner will
the people be prepared to discuss sympa-
thetically the propriety of bestowing real
protection upon deserving industries. If
the honest pr0teetionists are wise they will
insist upon these necessary reforms.

The President Sends to Congress Special
Message Regarding Legislation for the

A1Ae-A-
Prevention Of Infectious Diseases.
WASHINGTON, March.--The President
has in a special message to Congress,
transmitted the communication from
the National Board of Health in re-
lation to legislation for the prevention
of the spread of infectious diseases. The
communication sets forth that the Ma
tional Board of Health has advices show
ing the continued spread of smallpox, es-
pecially along the lines of the transporta-
tion of immigrants, and the board thinks
that the spread will continue during the
current year, unless prevented. They
recommend such amendments to the act OF
June, 1879, for the prevention of the intro
duetion and the spread of contagious dis
eases, as will make the provisions of that
act applicable to all vessels sailing from
foreign ports, without imposing upon the
United States Government the obligation Of
proving that such port is Injected, also q
specific provision requiring the vaccination
Of all enigrauts not previously vaccinated.
