Yanderbilt's Privacy.

II Vanderbilt's friends do not want
the newspapers to print such swash
about him they should not let him talk
such swash in his interviews with re-
porters. Vanderbilt has used the
newspapers more freely of late years
than any other stock Spectator and
railway manager. He has used prin-
tcrs' ink in profusion in his current
quarrel with the Rock Island people.
He and his friends cannot claim that
one who solicits newspaper publication
Of his views and plans when he wants
to use their publicity for his own pur-
poses has privacy too sacred for news
paper notice. Vanderbilt has the
largest aggregate amount Of railroad
property of any man in the country.
by reason of his being the heaviest in
dividual stakeholder in our greatest
railroad corporations he has a greater
influence in shaping the management
of our highways than any other indi-
vidual, and far more than the Govern
ment. He cannot retreat within the
privacy of the average citizen.
Vanderbilt is public character
more Of q public character in some
vital respects than even the President
of the United States. Arthur only sits
for four years; Vanderbilt sits for life.
Vanderbilt has q power over the conn
merce OF the country aud over prices
that Arthur has not the shadow Of.
Presidents come and Pro .idcnts go,
but year in aud year out the private
taxes which Nanderbilt's stock-yards,
and fast-freight lines, and railroad
pools, and partnerships with the cattle
Aeyeners" collect from the people exert
an appreciable effect in keeping mp the
price OF living and in making more
bitter the struggle of millions for eA-
istence. il there were nothing about
Vanderbilt but that lie is the richest
man in the world, il he did not hold in
his hands the charters and franchises
that enable him to use the delegated
powers of government over territory
greater than that of large nations and
only less than that Of the Union itself,
there would be no privacy for him.
His property is the equivalent Of the
life-earnings of tens of thousands Of
men. He has the power to say whether
his American fellow-citizens shall raise
wheat to support other Americans in
building decent homes TO- the people
of the cities or shall export their crops
to Europe to feed the fabulous profit
of Worth or Maissonnier.
The ownershipof 300 millions means
that the man WHO has the management
OF its income in his hands has the
direction OF the labor of 100, 600 men a
day for every day in the year. Ii it is
not matter of public concern what
such a man thinks, what no says, what
he is apt to do. whether he is likely to
keen those men at work wisely or fool
J ishly, then wealth and power have no

Tho East and the Supreme Court.

The Eastern press is as unanimous in
denouncing the legal-tender decision Of
the Supreme Court IS the court was
unanimous in adopting it. The edito-
rails Of the Boston Advertiser and the
New York Times are fair specimens Of
the attacks made upon it, and they OK
haust the vocabulary Of invective in
their denunciations. They denounce it
as unconstitutional, subversive of ordi-
nary principles and methods Of trade,
and as tending to introduce into the
business of the country q theory of
ethics which may eventually stop at no
outrage Of the Government upon the
sacred rights Of property or the honor
able and honest obligation of contracts.
These are entirely serious charges,
but it is strange that they can equally
MS we'll be brought against nearly all
existing governments even that of
France, which country. amid revolu-
tons and the disappearance Of dynas-
ties, has upheld tho idea of mercantile
and financial rcctitude after fashion
which has called down upon its various
governments the encomiums of the cap
italists and the bankers of the world.
But, If the Eastern press were to
look upon this decision from its logical
side, they would see that tho court
could scarcely do less than it has. The
point made by these Eastern journals
is that it is unconstitutional to make
money out Of that which has no intrin-
sic value; that such an act, though
permissible in the exigencies of war,
because it is a war measure, is not per-
missible i'll time Of peace. But they
forget that it is not the mere circum-
stance of war that legalizcs the act,
but the exigency which the war Gre
atcs. and that such exigency may be
created in various other ways through
which the necessity of a legal-tender
Currency is made to arise.
But there is another point which
neither the Supreme Court nor these
denunciatory editors have evidently
considered That is, that in making
these Government obligations legal ten
der, Congress did not usurp a power,
but that it merely appropriated one
that others Ind already usurped. As
McCulloch and John Stuart Mill have
clearly shown, all paper money with q
general circulation is legal tender. In
fact, it cannot he refused by the indi-
vidual merchant, or manufacturer, or
farmer, because ii is tho money Of the
country. It is a compulsory loan by
the people TO the banks. Consequently,
all that the Government did in issuing
its own paper money was to appropri-
ate power which the banks had al-
ready possessed and which the people
tacitly acknowledged. II it was uncon-
stitntlonal to do this, then it is uncon-
stitutional for the Government to do
hundreds of other things which it as
sumes to do, but which in less highly
organized SECRETARY state are done only
by the people in their individual capac-
ity.-ChicagO Neacs.
