A Valuable Privilege.

We quoted last week expressions OF
opinion which had been made by two
or more members OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives as to the value Of the privi-
lege OF issuing circulating notes. These
gentlemen seemed to mean that the gov
eminent ought. in the interest Of the
people, to profit by that valuable privi-
Iege, inasmuch as there was no way in
which the masses Of the people themselves
could devise any benefit therefrom.
In Canada. the banking system Of
which country Is regarded by many ex-
perts as one OF the best in the world, II
not the very best. the banks issuing cur
rency are practically limited to the
amount OF their paid-up capital.
Under the old State-bank system. which
was In operation in Virginia prior TO the
war between the States. banks were per-
mitted TO issue 10000 Of circulating
notes upon $4,000 OF specie lying in their
vaults That was to allow the banks to
draw Interest upon 100000 of nominal
capital.
Perhaps Congress may devise scheme
of issuing currency better than the one
now in force. The people who demand
that the National Government shall issue
all the currency Of the country have
caught a glimpse of the doctrine set forth
BY the two congressman above referred
10. They are not satisfied to allow the
valuable privilege Of issuing circulating
notes TO be parcelled out to men who are
unwilling 10 pay any price whatever for
the same.
Whilst speaking OF the Canadian bank
ing system. we will remind our readers
once more that the currency OF that coun-
Try IL decidedly and undoubtedly an elias
Tic currency. The banks have the con-
coded right to retire currency and cancel
81 when II is not needed. and to reissue
currency up TO the full extent OF their
s-n initial when IL Is needed.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 4, 1895
Annexatio on Of Canada.

United States Senator Gallinger. OF
with thinking that the time has come
for Uncle Sam to open his mouth and
let the ripe cherry, Canada, fall into IL.
Along cur Canadian border and else
where In the Dominion there are many
persons who concur In Senator Gallinger's
views. As 10 many Of our neighbors.
however. they have so high an opinion
OF their own merits that with them II Is
not so. much question whether the
United States can be induced 20 annex
Canada or not. but whether they will
agree to become part and parcel Of our
Union. Senator Gallinger understands the
Canadian character. for he tells our
northern neighbors that he is willing to
do much for them II they will only
consent to come under the flag Of the
American Union.
Senator Gallinger suggests nothing new
on this subject. which is as familiar
IN Canada as in this country. He does
not propose to do sught that would be
offensive TO the people either OF Canada
or Of the United States.
1t is a vast territory which II is pro-
posed 20 annex to ours. The territorial
area OF the United States is 3.602, $50
square miles. The territorial area OF Can
ada Is 3,IS.l65 square miles. But what
q contrast between the two countries.
The one bleak, inhospitable. having win
ter weather more than half the year.
and the other having every variety OF
good climate which the world possesses.
We have yet to be convinced that 1t would
be to the interest Of the people Of this
country 10 annex Canada. If the people
of New England are hardly ever
IN sympathy with the people of
the other States Of the Union, and
these latter are inclined to regard them
a. out Of place, how much worse would
II not be with the people of Canada
added to those OF New England. We
should not like 10 entrust legislation for
Florida. California, Virginia. Louisiana,
or any other Of the present States Of the
American Union TO such members of
Congress as Canada would send to WASH
ing,on. though she has 'many and great
natural resources" These will never be
developed whilst Canada remains as she is.
Her fertile soil. valuable mines. and ma
tural manufacturing facilities for the
present will remain as they are. Public
sentiment in the United StatesNis not
ripe for annexation; nor is the public
sentiment of Canada We may repeat the
quotation that Mr.. Webster made in the
case OF Mexico, or rather Texas
namely: 1--WE have Sparta. Let us i'm
prove it," Yes the United States is
1.-The land of every land the pride"
Let us add no inhospitable regions to It.

Total effective infantry.

The cavalry and artillery have been
| generally estimated at 500. They GER
| tainly did not exceed this. The return
| Of the Army OF Northern Virginia for Oc-
| tober 10. 1852. shows an effective force Of
these two arms Of the service of 1870 men.
The figures given above can be verified
| by reference to the official reports OF the
| operations OF the Army OF Northern Vir-
| ginia, published by authority Of the Con-
gress Of the Confederate States and also
| contained in the records of the Union and
Confederate armies. Series l., Vol. XIX,
Part ].
With the official reports of his subordi-
mates before him. General Lee. in his
report of this battle to the War Depart
ment, says: This great battle was fought
| by less than 1000 men on our side, all
of whom had undergone the greatest Ia
bors and hardships In the field and on the
| march," The figures given in this state
ment will allow ample margin for probable
discrepancies and yet be found within the
| numbers as reported by General Lee. .
General Mcclellan did not renew his
| attack on the 18th Of September; the day
was one of comparative quiet: both ar
mics had suffered terribly. and during the
| night of the 18th General Lee withdrew
| his army 10 the south side OF the Potomac
river
Every day after the battle witnessed the
| return OF a large number of men TO their
| regiments. and these. together with the
| force collected about Winchester. made a
very material increase IN the strength of
the army before the next regular return
| was made.
COLONEL Taylor quotes Mcclellan as
saying that he had in action S7.le4 men OF
| all arms, and remarks that II we under
take to construct a table Of strength OF
his army after the battle according 10
the method adopted by Fitz Lees critics.
! McCiellan's strength would appear to be
| 1ls,943.
I'VE might thus contend that General
Lee had 10000 men opposed to him, which
| would bear TO 5000. the number OF his
| army as made up by General Fitz Lees
| critic, about the same proportion as the
less than 10000 reported by General
| Lee. bears to the 'S.l64 carried into &C.
| ton by General Mcclellan"
So. taking into consideration the fact
| that few OF our cavalry were actually en-
| gagged. Lee was no doubt right when he
| told Fitz that he fought the battle of
| Sharpsburg with Is, 600 men.
1t appears from Colonel Taylors letter
that II was the purpose of President Davis
TO join our army in Maryland. but that
Lee sent Taylor "frsn Frederick City to
Virginia to meet President Davis and dis
| suade him from the purpose"
