purposes of necessity stood in abey-
ance.
Mr.. Hayes had as little political au-
thority as Mr.. johnson had had. He
had been chosen, as Mr.. Franklin
Pierce had been twenty-five years be-
fore, from outside the ranks Of the
authoritative leaders Of his party He
had no real hold upon the country
His amiable character his lack of
party heat, his conciIiatory attitude
towards the South aIienated rather
than attracted the members of his
party in Congress.
They had been accustomed to see
the fight forced for coercion and su-
premacy in the South, as for the ex-
ecution of every other party purpose.
and the Zest for strong measures was
still upon them
The President, besides, would not
listen to them in matters Of appoint
ment to office, as General Grant had
listened, to his Undoing. but went
calmly about to have his own way in
dispensing the patronage.
The Democrats did not like him be-
cause he seemed to them incapable Of
frank, consistent action. He Withdrew
the troops from the southern States
to let politics there take their normal
course, and yet he appointed the one
time members OF the discredited re-
turning boards to federal Offices as if
to console them for their loss of power.
He was not aggressive enough to
draw a party of his own about him.
and yet he had a character too firm,
too self-respecting, too deeply touched
with a sense Of individual responsible
ity to accept advice which his own
judgment did not approve.
He went his own course and kept
affairs at their quiet poise, awaiting a
change OF weather.
The second Congress Of his term
was Democratic in both branches and
made trial of every expedient known
to parliamentary strategy to force
upon him a repeal Of the statutes
which gave federal supervisors and
marshals powers OF oversight and ar
rest at the southern polls but the
President was too stout a partisan TO
consent and stood fast against them.
All things stood as they were until
the elections should come again.

Mr.. Bland. of Missouri, introduced in
the House a bill which provided for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver into
standard dollars of Az l-2 grains at the
mints of the United States at the pleasure
Of those who presented silver bullion
which they wished so converted.
The finance committee OF the Senate
under the leadership OF Senator Allison,
of Iowa, when the bill reached them, sub
stituted for 1t a measure which provided
for the monthly purchase by the Urea sury
of not less than two million dollars worth
Of silver bullion and its coinage into
standard silver dollars which should be
legal tender. without restriction of
amount, in the payment Of all debts.
The Secretary of the Treasury was
authorized at his discretion to eXpend
as much as four millions monthly for
the purpose.
The House accepted the measure
which Mr.. Allson's committee had
substituted for it's own.
Mr.. Hayes vetoed it, but the houses
passed ii over his veto, February %,
1878. The majority for it was as de-
cisive in the Republican Senate as in
the Democratic House.
Specie payments were resumed on
the list of January, 1879. as the Act of
1875 directed. but silver had been add
ed to gold. The Secretary Of the
Treasury made his purchases Of sill
yer bullion at its market value in
gold, of course; its price fell in spite
of the Bland-Allison Act, because II
was governed. as every man Of exper-
fence in such matters knew IL must
be, by influences as wide Al the mar
kets Of the world; and the monthly
coinage steadily yielded more than
two million coined dollars Of the fine
ness prescribed by Congress. though
me Secretary of the Treasury confined
himself always to the expenditure of
the minimum sum fXed by the Act.
Not many of the coined dollars
themselves got into the currents of
trade. The Act had authorized the
Secretary to issue certificates in their
place to those who did not wish the
actual silver. and the cows steadily
accumulated in the vaults of the
Treasury. some thirty millions a year
This was the only legislation of
Importance. apart from the routine
business Of the government. that a
Republican Senate and a Democratic
House could agree upon. All party

Interest on Army Deposits.
The Secretary Of War has approved
a plan Which may have the erect Of
reducing the interest which is paid on
the savings of enlisted men. At pres
ent these deposits draw an interest OF
4 per cent, and more than $4,000 900
has been paid out since 1873, when the
system began. and during which pc
riod $4S,500,0O0 has been deposited
At present there remains to the
credit of the depositors S2,322OOo. It
is intended that these deposits shall
hereafter be under the control Of a
board of trustees, consisting of the
Secretary of War, the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and the Attorney General,
who will place the money out at in
terest in such banks that are subject
to Federal or State supervision as
shall offer the best rates Of interest
The board will from time TO time as
certain the average rate Of interest
earned by the army deposit fund and
fix the rates accordingly to be paid on
soldiers deposits upon the repayment
I of such deposits.
Some of those who have looked into
the situation believe that this will
have the effect of reducing the inter
est by so per cent, and that # may
discourage enlisted men from resort
ing to this system Of savings This
change in the system originated with
Mr.. Garrison on the theory that il was
not proper for the government to ad-
vance interest. The new arrangement,
of course, will result in the saving OF
the amount now expended for interest,
which necessarily varies, but which
represented a disbursement last year
of $4,000.

One A. B. Farquhar, addressing the National
Association of Manufacturers in opposition to the
minimum wage and sickness insurance ideas, said
ANY man can live healthily on S. week
once lived for eight months on S. week, and
worked fifteen hours day and retained my
health. We should teach our people thrift"
With the neeessaries of life at their present high
rice neither Mr.. Farquhar nor any other man
could live healthily on S. week in a city, and
even were it possible it would not be an argu-
ment against either the minimum wage or sick
ness assurances. A man has a right to receive
more for his toll than barely enough to sustain
his own life. Such talk certainly does not con-
tribute to the eontentment of the wage-earners

suggest that it is quite as important to impress
