JOHN JAMES INGALLS, NEWSPAPER
TRINITY.

TRINITY,
The New York World, a leading demo
tlTatic daily newspaper in this country;
wine Hutchinson Nars, which IN counted
republican in its politics, and the Atchi-
son Globe, which is q political neuter, are
the three papers which have presented
the Ingalls, Photographic interview, and
this fact demonstrates the elastic method
Of distribution pursued by ingalls, hench-
men.
The Ncrs has heretofore asked this
question:
Are there any measures agreed upon by
the republican members OF the alliance OF
Kansas that Senator ingalls, is not heartily
in favor OFF,
An intelligent journalist, having kept
pace with passing events, and earnestly
seeking to keep abreast Of the age, would
hardly have instituted the foregoing in
quiry. II should be known by ingalls,
champion that the republican members
Of the alliance Of Kansas" have agreed
upon this declaration;
That we demand the abolition Of national
banks and the substitution of legal tender
treasury notes in lieu of national bank
notes, issued in sufficient volume TO do the
business of the country on q cash system,
regulating the amount needed on per cap
ita basis az the business interests of the
country demand; and that all money issued
by the government shall be legal tender in
payment Of all debts, both public and
private.
A STILL MORE EXPLICIT AND FRANK DEC
LARATIoN
As n further matter of information TO
the Ners it may be said that republican
members of the alliance in Kansas
among whom is State Treasurer William
Sims-agreed TO the following demand:
We demand that no class Of securities
shall be substituted for government bonds
as q basis of security for national bank notes
for the purpose OF perpetuating the national
banking system; that no charters now In OK
istance shall be renewed that legal tender
treasury notes be issued by the government
in lieu Of national bank notes, when such

100000 Il year for doing it whereas, ~ W0
were 10 circulate our own bills, u would cost
us nothing. / am unwilling 10 make such
an acknowledgment Of desperation TO the
world.
Representative Stephen Baker, Of New
York, ON February 20, 1863, in opposing
this bill at length, declared;
This bill proposes 10 confer on each SEQ
retary OF the treasury, now and hereafter,
by the manner and extent OF Us patronage,
most extraordinary political power, a power
great and widespread. II proposes also To
confer on him vast discretionary powers ~

measure il wholly unnecessary 10 carry ON
the government and aid In the prosecution
of the war. 10 can give no immediate relief
TO our finances, and 10 is very imperfect 0s a
measure 10 accomplish the objects Of its
advocates.
THE FEEBLENEss or THIS SCHEME AT IT'S
INCEPTION
When this bill was put upon lbs pas
sage in the senate, IL carried by a vote Of
yeas 23, nays 21. OF the present mem
bers OF the senate only John Sherman ge-
mains as one who then voted FOR II,
and David Turpie, Of Indiana, who voted
against il. In the house Of representa-
tivos the vote in its favor was rs, and "a
votes were cast against II. Justin \. Nor
rill, Of Vermont, noted in the senate
and William s. Holman, of Indiana, both
voted against the bill, and they are the
only men in congress with Sherman and
Turpie, Mt this time, who were then voters
on this national bank measure Samuel
Hooper, Of Boston, Mass, had this matter
in charge in the house, and IL was rap
idly pushed 10 a vote under the tyran-
nous workings Of the previous question,
It's arbitrary methods denying even the
reading Of the bill, in eTtenso, as re-
quested by Roscoe ConkliDg, Of New
York. But, some twenty years later, in
April, 1882, after John James Ingalls,, Of
Kansas, had served as a United States
senator for more than nine years, Hon.
William w. Crapo, Of Massachusetts,,
chairman Of the house committee on
banking and currency, introduced Into
the house Of representatives a bill "to
enable national banking associations TO
extend their corporate existence twenty
years." thus seeking to verify John Sher-
mans declaration Of February, 1868, as
to the national banking scheme being a
permanent systeml
EANREsT PROTESTS MADE AGAINST TX
TENDING THESE CHARTERS.
John A. Anderson, Of Kansas, on May
10, 1882, in a speech made in the house,
thus forcefully spoke:
There was a very wise foresightin the pro-
vision inserted in the organic act that the
charters Of these banks should expire at the
end OF twenty years from the date OF issue;
because that provision was designed TO be a

national bank notes shall be retired that the
amount Of such bank notes shall be regu-
lated ON Il per capita basis az the population
of the country increases; that the volume
shall be increased sufficiently 10 meet the
demands of the business interests of the
country, and that they be made a full legal
tender for all debts both public and private.
Senator Ingalls,, in his acts and utter
ances, has ever been Numerically op-
posed to the policy indicated in the fore
going earnest pronounced economical
truths, which make their approving ap-
peal to the high court Of thought, and
which Of course find welcome in the
breast Of the proletarian whose only CAPT
tai is labor, and also with him who is
tiller Of the soil.
SOME SALIENT POINTS IN NATIONAL BANK
LEGISLATION.
In February, 1868, Senator John Sher-
man, Of Ohio, introduced into the senate,
bill No. 4SG, "To Provide a National Cur
rency Secured by a Pledge Of United
States Stocks, and to Provide for the Cir
culOtion and Redemption Thereof" In
explaining the importance Of this pro-
posed legislation, Mr.. Sherman said
We are now TO act upon measure that
will affect the property Of every citizen of
the United States and yet our action for
good or evil must be concluded within the
few days or weeks of this session. We are
about to choose between n permanent sys-
TEN, designed TO establish uniform nation
al currency, based upon the public credit,
limited in amount, and guarded by all the
restraints which the experience OF men has
proved necessary; and n system OF paper
currency, without limit as TO amount, ex-
cept for the growing necessities OF war. A
practical objection TO the United States
notes, ia that there is no mode of redemp-
tion. They are receivable but not cOnverti-
BILE. They are debts of the United States,
but they cannot be presented anywhere for
redemption. They can only be used during
the war. The very moment that peace
comes all this circulation that now tills the
channels OF commercial operations will be
mt once banshed. They will be converted
into bonds; and then the contraction OF
prices will be as rapid as the initiation has
been.
Twenty-seven years have passed, and
who may say that the foregoing utter
ances Of John Sherman are words of wis
dom?
REMARKS OF SENATOR CoLLAMER AND OF
REPRESENTATIVE BAKER.
On February II, 1868, in the United
States senate, on the verge Of the pass
age Of the original national bank act Of
February 25, 1863, Senator Jacob Cola
mer, of Vermont, one of its greatest
statesmen, said in earnest opposition to
the pending bill
This measure looks TO me, and / am sus-
picious il will look TO the moneyed world,
like an acknowledgment of terrible des-
peration in the financial affairs Of this coun-
try. II is conceding TO the world that we
have become perfectly desperate, when we
hire these proposed national banks 10 Circu-
late $500, 100000 OF notes and guarantee the
payment Of them, which are In fact no more

Workmen on the intercepting slowly
Cutting Through Solid Stsne.

Work on the intercepting sewer dld
not make marked advance to-day,
although operations were resumed before
sunrise this morning. Where the sewer
will be underneath the south long race,
at the foot of Jefferson street, the cut
ting was through solid rock and the
laborors worked slowly ofttmes getting
in each others way The two steam
drills were broken this morning, and two
hours were consumed in repairing them.
The bricklayers, drilers and machipists
were compelled to lay of mere than one
half of the day.
The drilling of large boulder, which
was encountered yeAterday, was com
pleted at $50 o'clock this morning, the
holes were filed with dynamite, and at
6 10 o'clock blast was made that could
be distinctly heard for miles around the
city. The explosion tore away about one
half of the huge r0sk, but the broken
piece is were SO large that they have to, be
pounded with sledge hammers some
time before they could be handled.
The blasts are made by means Of small
batteries, from which two covered wires
run into the holes, in which dynamite
has been poured. The electric current.
when turned on, makes complete cir
cult, by meaus of two wires, and, al
though many branch wires may be at
tached, the explosions will take place
almost simultaneously. The force OF
some of the blasts are terrific!
The one which occurred at 6 o'clock
this morning, made great seams IN the
earth about the place and the flying rocks
split the branches Of the neighboring
trees. One solid piece of rock about 10
.aa1r nd fFlr
wide. was hurled 100 feet into theair,
and when 1t ascended was completely
buried ia the hard ground a few feet
above where the engine stands The
stone had to be pryed out with crowbar.
It is amusing to watch the movements Of
the men and spectators when the alarm
of "fire" is cried out. The employees
drop whatever tool or instrument that ie
in their hands as they would hot
potato and crawl out of the ditch like bees
from a hive. They then run as fast as
their legs can carry them for about 1oC
yards, when every face and look is
t.irnei heavenward, so that the. flying
stone can be seen and lodged if neces
sary AS soon as the report dies out the
sgperindent calls out all right" and
the men crowd back to the trench. The
depth of the latter from the top Of the
ground, at jefferson street. is l4-1S feet
Several blasts had to be made in dig
ging the ditch for the sewer. just above
the City Mill, this morning, and wher
the shout Of fire" was heard, the Ital-
ians orawled up from where they were
digging and ran to a place of safety. sil
pipes for the sewer, were laying a few
yards away from the trench, and int
these crowded the bIawny foreigners
packing themselves in the pipes as elos'
together as sardines in box, where the,
remained until the last report had dice
away.
The buik-head, which is being built b,
/ the Street and Sewer Department, abou
the waste way just above Market street
will be completed to-day. The race i
