One Of Grants Victories.

One of General Grants greatest vic
tories was not won in war, but in times
OF profound peace. On April %, 1874,
ho vetoed al initiation bill which had
passed both houses Of congress, by de-
cided majoritics, and back of which
were many eminent Republican poll
ticians who imagined that they saw
sure defeat ahead for their party unless
they made concessions 70 those clamor-
ing fer "mo-e money" The pressure
for the bill was net all political. Many
timid business men urged the president
to sign the bill in order 10 stop agita-
ton. In this trying situation President
Grant showed patriotism wholly above
par tisanship and "a clear conception Of
sound financial principles, unobscured
by shortsighted notions of immediate
business expedicncy.
He vetoed the bill because in theory
it would produce inflation-, "The theo-
ry," he declared. sin my belief is de-
parture from the true principles of
finance, national interest, national obli-
cations TO creditors, congressional prom
Use, party pledges on the part of both
political parties and Of personal views
and promises made by me III every an
nual message sent 10 congress and in
each inaugural address.
So far from being settlement"
the bill invited agitation. Should
ii fail to create the abundance Of
circulation expected Of it. the friends
Of the measure. particularly those out
Of congress, would clmnCr for such
imitation as would give the expect
ed relief " And he defined his general
principle in these pregnant words, 4
am not believer in any artificial meth
cd Of making paper money equal TO
coin when tho coin is not owned or
held ready TO redeem the promises TO
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable ex-
actly in proportion 70 the amount OF
coin that it can lie converted into. "
The monetary battles of this country
are not yet all fought. Grants words
and acts should inspire those engaged in
the present struggle.

The National Financial school IN
the name Of an organization which is
making some Roadway in The middle
northern states and perhaps also in 9TH
or sections of the country. Its ostensi-
bic object is 10 conduct nonpartisan
study of American finance. Its pros
pectus, however, contains some express
sions such as restoration Of thorough
" American financial policy" which
indicates the real object of the pro-
moters. The organization was recently
extended into Boone county, Ind,
where seven financial schools besides
tho "advance school and the county
school" are now in operation, each with
presidents. secretaries, instructors and
directors.
These financial schools should be en-
couraged by all sound money men and
organizations. There is no more ce--
tain way of ridding the country Of
the 10-to-l-er than by oducating the
voters on the money question. If the
schools are real schools and not merely
lecture rooms, there cannot bc too many
of them. AZ they are nonpartisan, books
and literature on both sides Of the sill
Ter question should be provided for
their use In this connection the sound
currency committee Of the Reform club,
80 William street, New York city, Of
fers to- send free Of ghargc limited
supply of literature 70 ,ho officers OF
any Of these schools asking for same.
Send for its literature and be ready to
vote inte!ligently on this question should
it be UP for settlement AZ the next con-
gressional and presidential elections.

Our Monetary Disease.

To safely and permanently maintain
the gold standard requires the remod-
cling of our finances. The disease is the
character of the money in the treasury
and in the pockets of the people. 1t is
in n banking system which congests cur
rency in commercial centers while cre-
ating dearth in country districts,
which issues currency which cannot
expand when it ought and can when
there is no necessity. 1t is in compel
ling tho maintenance Of 500, 900, 900
gold reserve to float vrst volume of
paper money by tho government, which
cannot regulate its issues TO meet the
needs of commerce.
The disease cannot be cured by any
makeshift. Senator Donclson Cafferv.

day comes to lay down third rails in this
country. There Is neither malice in this

Remarks Senator Platt in his open
letter to the voters OF Greater New York:
"The Republican voter by instinct and
habit Is an independent being. He
thinks for himself and acts for himself.
His special adherence is corrupt admin
istration. His chief political aim IS 10
put in Office "a type OF man who will APP
proach the consideration Of all public
questions from high-minded point Of
view, and who can be reliel on 60 act
honestly and intelligently. lie believes
in organization, and ne wants his party
machinery TO be maintained in strength
and efficiency, but he Is bitterly offended
when he thinks that the public good l.
beng sacrificed to the selfish schemes Of
individual party leaders, and he Is pccu-
iiarly susceptible to appeals made in the
namo Of good government.
These lines have sufficient application
20 tho Republican voters here In proyl-
dencc But too. as Senator Platt further
observes; "The Republican voter has had
his eyes open during The last three years,
and ho has done a good deal Of observing.
He has seen that non-partisnn govern
mcnt In practical operation means shat
amost elaborate system has been built
mp to keep Republicans out; that there
is no argument for personal and arbitrary
government In a city which Is not
equally strong as 10 state and national
government, and that political organiza
tions cannot be disrupted for one pur
pose and held together in strength and
efficiency for another. The Republican
vote is not to be enlisted In sny NOR

When the term competition Is

known and unknown rivals, sell at dis
similar prices adapted TO market condi-
tiOns, the proportions OF cash or notes
offered in payment, their experiences

fits upon the entire bills sold.
All this Is proper, but il would not DO
