IT is a singular circumstance that the
two great powers which are now contem-
plating hOStilities against each other,
have never had their strength tested in a
foreign war. England IN the early day
had wars with France and with Spain,
but in sort of desultory way and with
out taxing the resources of the country.
The war of lSl2 did not call for large
armies and Mexico could hardly be called
a fit opponent for the United States. Both
countries have shown their power most
10 civil wars. 1t Is unquestlonably true
that England is better prepared for war
than the United States. But it is equal
ly true that in war to finish the Unit
ed States will be successful.

THE time is rot far distant when 1t
was boldly announced that "a natiora
debt is a national blessing" People who
bad had experience with the issue OF
wild cat banks and likewise with the
circulating medium made necessary by
the war. were not slow IN expressing a
wish for the continuance OF the latter,
and as bis issue was based upon tie
national debt, that was regarded as
national blessing.
The enthusiasm over government notes
was such that there was demand for ex-
ceedipg the limits Of the war measure.
1t was that government notes be IRE

perpetually in debt without purpose to

which II uttered take the place of money
THIS in brief was the greenback idea IL
was 10 easy Latter 10 argue against this
theory. made plausible by the ease With
which the greepbacks in circulation be-
fore provision for their redemption was
made, were kept atioat.
The evil effects Of bad financial manage.
ment are not apparent from the start
The man who runs into debt does not
feel The tightness Of the situation while
contracting the bebt. But mismanage'

systsm Of making the government assume

for time but will only add to the
vruleuce Of the disease. We must re-
turn TO legitimate methods or we shall
effect no cure.
When the democrats declared in favor
of repeating the tax on state banks, II
was move in the right direction. Posi-
bly,, the method was not the best, but Il
was, at least a declaration that it was
unwise for the government to remain II
the banking business. 1t was almos
political suicide to enunciate this soune
financial doctrine, but it was sound not

IT is quite evidsnt that congress is
more intent upon making party capital
than III providing means to extrlcate the
government from the straits in which 1t
finds itself from persistence IN bad fin
ancial policy. There is a growing feeling
of dlsquietude regarding silver. and the
republicans seem intent upon increasing
that feeling by refusing to provide ade-
quate means 10 meet the situation
The issuance Of new bonds payable in
coin will only increase the distrust from
which we are now suffering and from no
other cause We are approaching a sill
yer basis and the movement is accelerated
by the action of congress.
