TARIFF AND MONEY.
Discussed by Ex-secretary Fairoi,itd at a
Boston Banauet,


BQeToN. Dec. 1G.--The annual dinner OF
tho New England Tariff reform league war
held at the American house this evening.
President Pierce was the presiding officer.
The speakers were Hon. Charles S. Fair
child. secretary OF the treasury under
Cleveland: Hon. Harvey M. Sheppard, Jo-
siah Quincy and William Brice. Tho first
speaker of the evening was Fairchild, who
said in part; "rhoae in favor of tariff re-
form still have duty to perform.
Our business friends ask for stabil-
ity In business. But they built
mp an artificial syatem, whereby the bnsi-
ness Of this country 10 held up above natural
conditions. Instead OF seeking TO do the
thing requisite to the maintenance Of the
system they have sought to divert tho
minds Of the people in every possible way
from considerations of the true subject.
Thoy formed the habit OF contributing vast
sums of money to bny elections. II ID use
less to deny that democrats are equally
guilty with republicans in attempts to cor
rupt elections, but within ths last few years
the business men contributed OF gains
which came to them. az they supposed.

conceaied purpose OF buying elections.

form OF bank bill or coined money and

there is any power in the governments ia

\ this country, with the same volume OF
greenbacks, the same volume Of business
and the same amount of antecedent debt
which could be paid with that money, ii
would vary enormously between morning and
afternoon. The legal tender quality had
not varied, the need for money had moi
varied, the population had not varied. bus

was the average belief of the American
| people as to the ultimate redeemability OF
these promises to pay. That was the rea-
son money 30 varied, and the legal tender
quality has been utterlv powerless to retain
value in it. When the United States 10 no
longer able to fulfill that promise to mako
good that credit, then money must stand on
its foundation. and its foundation will be
the value of silver bullion in she world.

McGlynn WIN Re- Enter the Fold.

ROME Dec. 16.-The statement in regard
to the settlement of the differences between
the church and Rev. Father McGlynn, of
New York, received full confirmation. The
news of the reconciliation produced the
happiest imp. ession Mt the vatican, where
Father McGlynn has always been favori,e.
1t is stated on the highest authority that
the pope will give special power to Mgr.
sRtolli to settle the case. The latest re.
ports at the vatican from America have
caused surprise and vexation ut the opposi-
ton against the results of the conference
sails submitted by Mgr. Satolli. The pope,
Cardinal Rampclla and Cardinal Ledochow-
ski all express their displeasure at the
course of church events taking place in
America, and his holiness will shortly take
decisive action to bring che divisions to an
end.
