IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.


All abuses find defenders. Now that atten-
tion has been called to the existence of i'm
nrisonmcpt for debt notwithstanding that the
people of NewYorll years ago declared they
would tolerate it no longer apolOgists begin to
advance and assert that after all it Is only
particular kind of imprisonment that exists, ana
that nobody need be imprisoned long If they are
willing to comply with certain legal forms. III
was shown recently that man has been con-
fined five years in the Ludlow Street Jail. Is 1t
to be pretended that this man preferred I'M
prsonmcnt to freedOm7 Or is the case that as
of old, men are required to make impossible
statements or to do impossible things before
they can be liberated ? What the facts prove
is that the will of the people of New-1ork has
been thwarted in this matter; that reform
that they decreed has been refused, and an
ancient abuse kept alive, either for the benefit
of greedy legal practitioners OF corrupt and
rapacous officials. 1t has been shown that the
Ludlow Street Jail has been conducted very
much after the method Of the old Marshalsea
Prison, as described by Dickens in Little
Dorrit." though sOmo of the Ludlow Street
practices are only to be paraleed in the history
of the Fleet Prison, of infamous memory. The
strong presumption ID lhuG 'IiC pl"OOleN VI III
prisoning men under civil process has been re-
tanned for anything but public or honorable
motives, and it is certain that whatever the pre-
text the custom is wholly bad and altogether IN
defiance of public opinion.
Creditors have all the protection and recourse
they are entitled to without this. No man ever
paid his debts the quicker for being imprisoned
unless he was a rogue, and if a debtor is a rogue
the law provides ample means of circumventing
and furnishing him. There is no difficulty i'll
imprisoning man on a charge of fraud, but it
has been and even Low is the practice to clap
debtors in Jail when no ground for charge OF
fraud exists; when the failure to pay debts
is plainly due to sheer inability. There can be
no excuse or justification for this. Ihele can
be no excuse for imprsOnlng any one on a civil
process. 1t Is barbarous. 1t Is against the
spirit if not the letter Of the Constitution 1t is
under the existing political conditions not only
an abuse but an outrage since it puts helpless
and innocent citizens into the power of venal
and unprincipled politicians, who plunder them
without compunctiOn, and do not hesitate to
subject them to worse treatment than the yilest
criminal receives in the penitentiaries. Laws
which permi. such things to be done should not
be tolerated for moment after the truth is
made known. No party can bear the Odium of
sustaining such legislation. There ought there
fore, to be no attempt to palter with this ques-
ton, but the State Legislature should at once
repeal the laws under which this shameful
abuse has so long been fOstered and protected

In these establishments were 21.345 .workmen,
who received In wages an average annual
amount of $12,713,s13. Besides these en-
ployers and employees who would be directly
affected by the passage of free-shp bill, there
are the iron and steel manufacturers and their
workmen, iron ore and coal miners, lumber and
raftsmen, sail and awning makers, and boiler
and steam engine works outside of shipbuildlng
wards. These associated industries employ in
all more than a million men. They do not send
memorials to Congress for free ships, and the
arguments of those who advocate a measure
which would result in the ruin Of American
shipbuilding will not be likely to prevail while
our legislators have any regard for the welfare
of our people.

MONEY md BUSINESS.

Redemption Of bonds by tho Treasury last
week caused the banks to gain in reserve. At
the same time dulncss i'll the stock and other
markets diminished loans and deposits, so that
the surplus reported on Saturday was
$8, ,5S9,125, against $G,654,S25 for the pre- =
yious week. The actual gain of the banks in
specie was more than appears in the statement,
because the reserve was doubtless considerably
lower at the end of the previous week than the
statement indicated. The Treasury lost over
$50, ,OOO, 900 in gold certificates and gold coin,
and paid out $7O7,977 legal tenders to add
S763, ,545 more useless silver TO its stock
owned This indicates that the banks gained
nearly twice as much gold rs they appear from
their averages to have gained. The money
market is abundantly supplied, and the small
exports of gold only took Oft fraction Of the
amount disbursed by the Treasury for bonds.
The week was marked by several interesting
monetary events. The new 3 per cent second

the grain market, its condition seems to be well
illustrated by the current statement that all the

stuff of the Northwest have lodged in Chicago,
and find few buyers. Whether there Is any
truth in the statement or not, buyers could
hardly be less eager if they knew the grain was
inferior in quality.

TRYING TO CATCH UP.

Bv all means. Messrs. Democrats If you
can catch up with the age as far as the Iarln
Commission of 1882, it will be great leap
forward for you Do 1t if you are able; why,
certainly! The position boldly and firmly
taken by the Ways and Means Committee, on
the Morrill, tariff of 1861, was good one -tor
Democrats. Republicans advanced to better
and WISER 1t is true, twenty-five years ago. ana
party that cannot get within twenty years
of the age can hardly be called quite spry
enough for these telegraphic times But II the
Democratic party can get itself along as lar as
the Republican position of 1882, that would DC
really meritOriouS progress.
Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison, Hurd q Co., II
should be said in justice to them, display no
willingness to undertake so startling an aero
batic feat as a single fiyin g leap from 1861 TO
1889. But other men of the party show more
courage and agility. Mr.. Bucllner, OF Missouri,
for instance, would like to have the Democratic
party enact Tariff Commission act like the
one passed by the last Republican Congress,
and then heroically refuse to do or to say any
thing else on the tariff question. 1t would not
matter that almost every Democrat in Con-
cress is committed either by his votes as a
member two years ago. or by his speeches IN
the subsequent campaign, against the Repubh-
can policy Of investigating before acting The
traditional Democratic policy, we are aware, Is
to leap first and look afterward. When the
Commission bill was pending, how savagely II
was denounced as a dodge by Democrats OF all
shades and sizes. Possibly we might not be
able to repress smile or two, If the very men
who so loftily berated the Republicans OF 1857
should now come tagging along i'll their foot
steps, only two years too late. Still, tunes
change, and Democrats change with them. Ii
the party can Jump the gulf between 1861 and
1882, and get as much cOmmOn-sense and in
formation as the Republicans had two years
earlier, it will be good thing for the country.
To positions which they have abandoned, the
Republicans are ever ready to welcome their
opponents with cOrdiality only equalled by

to obey the ordinance. The Aldermen are now pre-
