More than two years ago the organs of
monometallism "solemnly warned" the
country that continuance OF the coinage OF
silver dollars would be fatal to our national
credit.
The coinage of silver dollars was con-
tinued, but the national credit obstinately
persisted in the maintenance Of robust
health.
A year ago n fresh crusade against the
silver dollar was organized and set on foot,
and the country was again "solemnly
warned" that unless the coinage OF the
Bland dollars was stopped at once gold
would take its departure and our bonds
would decline.
The forty-eighth Congress declined to
suspend coinage, the mints went on turning
out the 'cheap" dollars, but the gold did
not 90 hence and bonds did not decline.
For six months before the present Con-
gress convened red-hot war was waged
against silver, and the administration Joined
in 1t. Ruin was predicted If the coinage act
was not suspended.
A few weeks after the session began the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN demonstrated, by a
| poll OF the House, that there could be no
anti.silver legislation. Since then the pub
lie credit has improved until 1t is better
than ever before, and better than that OF
any other government on the globe. AS
mentioned in our columns on Monday last
government per cent. bonds have reached
1871, the highest point in theirhistory. Thi:
means that an investor is willing to pay s27'
for the chance to invest 81 900 in public Sc
turities drawing per cent. interest, which
mature and become payable at par il
twenty-one years.
! These facts are very meaty, but they vii
not silence the enemies Of 'the people
money"

THE complete yindieation of Judge Harry
White, which was printed in the NATIONAL
REpuBIL2GS yesterday, was not needed in
The city or any other locality where that
+ gentleman was well known, for no one who
knew him believed or suspected that he had
acted in any manner inconsistent with his
well-known reputation for incoTuptIble
integrity, But inasmuch as the slanderous
report against him had been widely clrcu-
lated, 1t was fitting that the utter demoli-
ton Of the calumny should be given like
publicity. Judge White--or Gen. Harry
White, as he is usually designated-has a
record of faithful service in many RESPONSE
ble positions, both civil and military, of
which any honorable man might well be
proud The designs Of his enemies have
lecn frustrated and his reputation is un-
tainished, II is not easy 70 overthrow a

THE first year of the Democratic admins
tratlon closes to-day in manner eminently
satisfactory to those who hoped and be-
leved that a single term of Democracy
would satisfy the country How II Is re-
garded by the Democratic party may be
inferred from the grumbllng tone of the
Democratic press in general. As a fair IL
lustration take the address Of the Demo-
cratic editors Of the state Of Indiana, who
pronounce the administration "a govern
ment without definition, policy without
a principle, a picture without background,
political farce, blunderbuss Of inconsls-
teRcies, a monument of depleted fidelity,
and a reflection upon the intelligence Of the
American people"

IL asserting his right to take away and
destroy papers deposited in the depart
ments the President shows that he was not
properly counseled by his Attorney Gen

President has no time to ransack law books.
But his legal adviser should have shown
him the chapters of the Revised Statutes
which we print this morning. Then he
would have known good deal better than
to have claimed the right to destroy the
