ON THE (IR KEMI posday'a press dispatches contained sn interview with Andrew Csrnegie. thc man who has grows Boormougly rich through laws made to benefit him and other pro tectrtg manufacture* Si IBS expense of the great body of the American people, in which .Mr. Csrnsgle deprecatee Mr. Cleve land's ./nakinR any rec lUnmeiidation to rongrcr-l for n chsnge in our CUlTSncy laws Mr. Carnegie is ot opinion thsl the test feasible currency system is that which we wave, which opinion, it is not surprising that Mr. Carnegie should en* tertaln. boOSUM he is an immensely wealthy man and our system is exactly suited tc, the needs of the very wealthy, while utterly dootructlVB to all the rest of the people. We tevoti i u i od deal of ipacc yes? terday to Bhowlng that when our Con* stltuticn was adopted it was intended by Its frame i s ,. I I \ the pee-;.le who ad ,pt ed lt tiiut tl la should be a lund money eeaatry. The Btatea bad suffered from the curses ot paper money until en body was disgusted with n, and they nil intended tie have ,, currency ol and silver alone. Tiley Intended t" Bay that th.- Governmenl nt thc United Btatea siioiii.l bavB nu lower t? pul oul paper money, ami that the governments "f the States should have no power to pul out paper Boonoy, it was recognised, however, that paper substitutes for monee,, what we cull currency, moy bs of the very greatest -sid and assistance to business, und they accordingly lefl the door open foi the only kind ,.f paper substitutes which can !?? usefully or safe? ly resorted to i? > b people, notes of banks chartered by th. states or by the general Government, Bul the sine ,| ia non for both was thal they should be always redeemable in coin upon demand 'or this was to lu- a bard-money coun? try, in w hi,h the "illy money the only laKal teador waa to -be coln. Tins was ihe <-ss.-iiti.il nita ,,! our Constitution makers and it ha l tins greet underlying principle to lest on, viz : Coln is th, only trw money. If paper promises to pey money what we call currency sro pul oul by ? the United States ur the State govern* men's, ihe maker of the promise c sn nol he compelled to perform lt, because a Roven.ni, nt cannot be sued without its own consent. In such a eas,-, then, we might bate the Government, Btatt National, putttaf OUl their promises and taiiiiu* to redeem them on demand, with no pr oe sac of law to compel their redemp? tion, whereupon cols would disappear; they would i-e, (-me the only circulating medium, and the country would t?- the ?victim <-f an Irredeemable paper cur? rency. Bul bank corporationa chsrter* i bj the States or by the United Slates can he coed and compelled to perform their contracts. If th.y refuse to pay their notes on demand they can !?? compelled tO pay them by stopping their business and winding thom uj-. In ibis way wt sh..niel h.iv? pn isrved to the country the only true money?ci.iii-and it would also h?\. all the hem-tits Which eau legitimately ?-.?. from a paper currency. These m.ti -wera wisc men. who , stood truly and deeply the oconoml* coi dillons necessary te. a sound Rna state, and they provided those condi? tions for this country. Jsckdswa, upon whom the rob->s of these Sreat men have de.*tended, have vi,dat. i thc gTOSl Charl of principles laid down by thom, and the consequence Iii the Unsocial di ances which heep tins country slwsya ifttatsd, with us business and pr Ity under a perpetual brake. The curse or the day la the false j,,.-, that our conditions require us tu have a note that will Circulate without lmj ei, m?nt from Bangor, Me. to Baa Fran Cisco. Cal. Now, whilst wu- a.lum that th.-re are many ooavenleacea that attend auch a not.-, lt can only be had upon thc condition of mahlng the goners! Qover* ment ruler and -controller of the paper currency, and that cannot ).,- gone with? out bringing on the country our pi. condition, whl, h ls the rory wen st ot* possible. Hut auch a bole ls by no means SI aary to our business. The HMthoda Of quick communication have so Improved that business between distant points is almost entii.-ly dun.' by clicks ami drafts. We te not bbbA currency notes to San Francisco to make payments there. We buy a draft on a New Voik bank and send it, be- a use New Vork ex? change in want..I lu , very part of the country. When this demand for % note good In all parts of the - oiintry ls looked into lt will b,- found that lt ls almost Wholly confined io those wini travel. Hut thia is an Insignificant part of thc population, and th, re is no sort of trou? ble In them currying coln in theil pock eta or a letter of credit, as thoae who travel abroad do, or bank checks on the basks of ths pl-xces they are going to. The people to be aida* by it are s mere \ fraction of the whole. We may arrant that mime inconveniences might arise out of the want of a i-urr?-n?-y lhat run from end to enel of the- e.untry. Hut think, though, upon the enormous alvantns-c-e le. th? country at larire for each neighbor? hood to have a curn-ne-y that would Ctr (ulate there and -five tn-* p'ojle all the bank ai tommi daltons they needed, lYOn If lt would not circulate away from thal nel-;hborhoe>-l, rmi fame back for re> iemptlon as soon a.s lt Hii;.:,ed away.

At that time?viz., in July;. 1890?we passed the Sherman purchase law. which commended the Secretary of the Tn-asury to buy 1,600,000 ouncei of tin.- silver each nu,nth and pay for it with the Qovern? ment't notes made f"i' that purpose.
