We are to-day threatened with the un

A San Francisco dispatch announces the
death in that city yesterday, from hemor
rhage of the longs, of Mr. H. J. Montague,
tho well-known actor, who was to have ap
peared in Chicogo one week from to-ulghfc at
McVickcr's Theatre.
Tho attractions presented at numerous

Among the local religions events of yester
day was tho celebration of tho twentieth an

Austria has on band a bigger undertaking
than she bargained for when the occupation
of Bosnia was stipulated for at tho Berlin
Congress. The fall force of resisting troops
which the Austrian army will have to en
counter is estimated at 100,000 well-armed
moo, consisting of Bosnians, Arnsats, Al
banians, and regular Turkish troops, tho
latter evidently operating by consent of the
Porte, or at least without Its prohibition,
since it is reported that Turkey disputes tho
right of Austria to possess the territory ex
cept through a separate convention with the
Ottoman Government.
The labor troubles of the Typographical
Union and tho Order of Crispins formed tho
subject of discussion yesterday at a mass
meeting of the Amalgamated Trades-Unions,
at which speeches were mode and resolu
tions passed pledging support to the mou
now on a strike. Tho cose of the printers
was presented by Mr. Lang in a speech com
mendable for its moderation and for the evi
dent purpose of the speaker to bring for
word In a spirit of fairness what aro con
ceived to bo the facts and figures In support
of tho position taken by the Typographical
Union in opposition to any reduction in
rates of composition.
A curious question of international law
Laa been raised by the Canadian Government
in forbidding United States Revenue-Marine
steamers from succoring American vessels in
distress in Canadian waters. The question
involves the point whether tho exclusive
right of pilotage and towage enjoyed by
Canadian tugboats also Includes the right to
let an American vessel go to the bottom
when tho tugboat making tho tow is unable
to prevent the wreck, as was tbe case re
cently when a United States revenue steamer
went to the relief of the disabled ship. The
Canadian tugmen maintain their right to the
whole business, and the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington will look Into the law of
the case.
In the course of a speech of welcome to
the Columbia College crew on their return
from thuir triumphs in England, Mr. Arrau
B. Hewitt, the New York Congressman,
took occasion to introduce a few remarks not
exactly germane to tho subject of boat-rac
ing, but which were none the less timely and
appropriate. As illustrating the great need
'that college men should go Into politics if
they would help to preserve the Government
and the institutions their fathers fought for,*
Mr. Hewitt brought to their notice the mis
sion and purposes of the agitator Kearney
in a way that could not fail to deeply Im
press the educated muscle before him of the
vital importance of arraying intelligence
against ignorance, common-sense and good
order against fanaticism and recklessness, in
tho contest which the Keorueyile* are seek
ing to inaugurate.
While the Government carried its point
in iho effort to secure for the United States
Circuit Court in South Carolina the juris*
diction of the indicted internal revenue
officers who had been held without bail by a
State court for tbe killing of a moonshiner,
the law in tbe case remains to be settled and
a precedent established os to the jurisdiction
of State coarts over the action of revenue
officers while engaged in the enforcement of
the Federal laws. Chief-Justice Wajte, in
view of the importance of tbe questions at
issue, has arranged to sit with Judge
Bond, of the United States Circuit Court,
and the management of the case bos been
placed in bands no less able and distinguish
ed than those of Besjami* IL Bristow, who
will be famished with such assistance in the
I way of extra counsel as ho may desire. Of
course on Imposing array of counsel will be
presented by the other aide, and a memory
ble buttle in the courts may be expected be*
tween advocate* of Blates-Rights and the
defenders of Federal supremacy.
The New York Hoard of Trade recently Is*
sued a report showing the population ac
cording to the census of 1870, tho amount of
the tax-duplicate, rate of levy, bonded and
floating debts and sinking funds of the
twenty-eight loading cities of the United
States. The highest rate of tax-levy of 1677
Is that of Troy, N. Y., and tho lowest that
of Detroit, Mich.,—the rale of Troy being
5.14 per cent and that of Detroit 1.2-ft.
This immense disparity is caused by the De
troit Assessors valuing property for taxation
at its full cash-value, while In Troy it is put
io at one-third of full value. Taking popu
lation as tho basis, the municipal taxation of
Troy Is $17.13 per man, women, and child,
and that of Detroit $14.68. Thus, while the
nominal rate of taxation of Troy is four
times os heavy as that of Detroit, the
tax per head is only one-sixth larger.
On the basis of valnation, taking the figures
of the ten largest cities, Boston lends with
the smallest rale of lax-levy. The per-cents
of levy for tho several cities are as follows i
Boston, 1.31; Ban Francisco, 1.83; Baltl.
more, 1.03); Philadelphia, 2.lft; New York,
2.6 ft; St. Louis, 2.80; Cincinnati, 2.01; New
Orleans, 2.oft; Brooklyn, IMG; and Chi.
eago, 3.01. On the basis of population,
taking tho census of 1670 ns the standard,
tho tax-levies per capita in the same ten cities
rank as follows, the lowest rate being placed
first: St. Louis, $16.18; New Orleans,
$17.12; Baltimore, $18.42; Philadelphia,.
$18.72; Chicago, $19.83; Brooklyn, $19.01;
Cincinnati, $241.71; Now York, $30.06; Bos*
ton, s3ft.ol; Ban Francisco, $37.03. In this
table St. Louis is mode to rank os the lowest
taxed city per capita; but that is
in consequence of the fraudulent census of
1870, by which the population of St. Lonis
was magnified 60,000 above tbo actual num
ber of inhabitants in tho place at tbo time.
It will bo observed that Boston, with tbo
loweat rate per cent of lax-levy, makes next
to tho largest levy per capita ; and that San
Francisco, with the hoariest assessment per
head, stands second in the list for low-rate
per cent. New York occupies tho third
place per capita, and Cincinnati nearly $4
per head more than Chicago, which is ac
counted for by the heavy lax levied to pay
ttie interest on the bonds of the railroad
which the city is building to Chattanooga in
order to secure Southern trade. Deducting
the amount of tho sinking funds of thoso
cities, and adding their ascertained floating
to their bonded indebtedness as reported, wo
have the not per cftpiUt debt as follows t San
Francisco, $21.83; Chicago, $55.01; St.
Louis, $74.41; Philadelphia, $80.58 ; Brook
lyn, $98.20; Baltimore, $09.07; Cincinnati,
$103.03; Now Orleans, $113.33; Boston,
$117.48; Now York, $125.
WHAT DOBS KEARNEY KEAN 1
Mr. Keabnst has now had time to give
expression to his views. In California he
bad tho substantial grievance of tho Chinese
immigration and their displacement of Cau
casian labor. That grievance, however, docs
not exist at tho East. Tho country has been
informed by him that his party proposes to
carry elections, get control of legislative ami
executive power, to corral capitalists and
squeeze them, to close up tno banks, to
break up tho establishments of the employ
ing class, and to take the administration of
affairs all in their own bauds. All this is
very well; but tho country looks for some
thing more than obnse and denunciation. It
wants to know something else than that capi
tal is robbery, that corporations ore nothing
but organizations of white-livered thieves,
that boll is proparod for every rich man,
that everything that is is wrong, and
that whatever is must bo changed. All
that bos been repeated so often that It
has become tiresome. ,
Now will Mr.‘Kearney explain how and
by what moans he proposes to increase the
employment of labor, and how and by what
moons ho proposes to iucreose the wages of
the increased number of porso ns to bo em
ployed 7 If that be object of his apostle
ship,—and unless it is, then he is a frand
and a deception,—and ho will explain or set
'ortb any rational or practicable plan to
accomplish that end, then ho will not have
to appeal to unwilling oars, because tho
whole country will sustain him. If he has
any measure for that purpose, and will ex
plain it, and it be supported by reason and
practicability, then Tub Chicago Tbidunb
will bo willing to follow Keauxey in having
such measure adopted. Instead cf being
the mere leader of a faction, the mere blat
ant yellcr of invective*, the loud-voiced
dealer in epithets, the country will recognize
him as a benefactor of lus race, and a na
tional hero deserving of national honors
and rewards.
Mr. Kearney, however, mentions nothing
of tho kind. Handing some scores of Rail
road Directors to ** hell" will not increase
production; corrollug some five hundred
capitalists and * grinding " them to powder
will not make capital more liberal, abun
dant, or disposed to invest; electing Res
Rim.Bß Governor of Massachusetts will not
give employment to an additional laborer,
except Rem, and will not increase the wages
of a man or woman in (he country; closing
tho cotton-mills will not Increase the num
ber of employed workmen and workwomen,
nor will it increase the weekly or daily
wages of any person; stopping tho rallwoys
by refusing to let men operate them may
throw some thousands of men now at work
out of employment, bat will not furnish
labor for a man now idle, nor odd anything
to the weekly earnings of those now at
work.
Tbe classes of men who are idle, who have
no employment, and have no wages, are of
those competent to work In mines, In fur*
Daces, iu rolliug*>uiUs and machioe*sbops, In
all branches of iron and steelwork; those
who are competent to work lu mills making
cotton, woolen, ’silk, straw, leather, and
other goods of tbat general character; of
those competent to labor iu tbe manufacture
of glass, cbiua, and earthenware, furniture,
and generally iu all kinds of manufactures;
and also those competent to work os taeebaa*
ics iu housebuilding. Beside these, there
are others whose employment depends on
the prosperity incidental to the employment
of all the others. There are thousands of
men engaged iu handling, hauling, and
otherwise transporting merchandise end mo*
(erial who can And continuous work only
when all other classes are at work. When
(here is no demand for the product of the
iron-founders, machine-shops, and steel-
mills, there is a falling off iu the demand for
cool; when there is a reduction of the in*
come of any portion of the community be*
cause of a want of employment and stop
page of wages, there is a falling off In the
means by which men can purchase, and
beuce a reduction In tbe production of cloth
ing and all other articles for which wages
are generally expended. When production

declines or ceases because of the want of
means to purchase, then, extending from
one branch of industry to another, the do.
dine becomes general, and there is an in*
evitable reduction in employment equal to
the reduced consumption of the product of
labor. It roaches all daascs alike. It
strikes the merchant as well as it does the
railway, and the mechanic, and the laborer.
We have now reached that point where there
is a need and a demand for the man who
will point ont whore and by what means tho
thousands ont of employment can be put at
work, and how tho product of their labor
can be famished with a market, and how
production can bo increased by an increase
of consumption. Is Rearnet the man who
can tell us how capital may be ap*
plied to labor and made to pro*
duco more than it now produces,
finding an increased consumption among a
people with Increased means of purchasing?
There can be no substantial relief until this
is brought about. If Reabret or any other
man can point ont how he can famish an
increased market for tho products of labor,
then let him proclaim the means to a suffer
ing country, and ho will find an united poo.
plo anxious and willing to carry his scheme
into execution.
One boor given bj him to (he statement
and elucidation of such a scheme would ac
complish more good and direct, substantial
benefit to the workingmen and to the conn
try than months In wild denunciation and
abusive epithets directed against imaginary
enemies. Will Mr. Kearney give us his
plan for increasing employment ond increas
ing wages ?
TEAT SILVER DOLLAR.
The Bouton Adteriiner is ambitions to join
(he Nation and the Now York Timet in the
process of selt-slultifleatlou over tho statas
of tho silver dollar. Thoso and other organs
of tho New York and Now England gold
cliqao contended daring tho fight for remon
etization that the silver dollar would never
bo worth more than its bullion value, and
now point to Its non-circulation as an evi-
of that foot, holding that tho peo
ple don't wont it The Adurtiter fancies
thoro was something grotesque about the
hooding of an article la Tub Tribune “ "Why
Silver Oircnlates at Par with Gold/' because
it says silver does not circulate at all; but
silver does circulate at par with gold when
ever tho coin standard is maintained, and not
merely in tho States of the Latin Union
where the double standard is in vogue, but
also in Germany, where silver has been
practically demonetized by Government ac
tion. Bo tho Boston Ad whiter wns not so
“ smart M as Boston people aro usually ex
pected to be. It then continues:
We do not csre for tbo slight inconsistency, bat
we do protest agalort the assertion, constantly
made and reiterated, that silver does not circulate
for tho same reason that gold dous not. Thu
Treasury offers to pay for greenbacks with silver
dollars. It doca not offer gold dollars. Tho peo
ple do not want silver dollars; they do want gold
dollars. They refuse to make the exchange for
aliver, but not even Tub Chicago Thiduxr will
asacrtthattherowonldbe any hesitation on the
Jinrt of tho people tn taking gold. Tbore Is, thorn
ore, this radical difference: Hold stays In the
Treasury became It cannot be got at; sliver stays
there because nobody wants It- The flovernwent
asks too much for Ha silver dollars; it will not dis
pose of Its gold. However, we do not Intend to
waste this good powder now. It Is better to wait
until the Hccictary tries to get silver Into circula
tion.— for Tub Tribune soys he has not yet made
an effort tn that dtrocllon,— and then we shall have
coDlotis quotations to make from the wild-cat ar
ticles which Tub Tiudonb Is now publishing in Its
desperate effort to convince Itself that It has not
ptado an egregious economical blunder.
Could anything ho more Inconsequential
than this jomblo of contradictions ? Silver
docs and does not circulate; it will and will
not circulate, —Is about the purport of this
sagacious dictum. The plain facts of tho
cose, aro these: Tho silver dollar will not
circulate generally during a suspension of
specie-payments, for so long as greenbacks
cannot bo presented for redemption in coin,
the silver dollar, in which they aro redeem
able as well as in the gold dollar, will have a
higher value; a non-interest-bearing note
can never bo worth as much, when post duo
and unpaid, as tho mouey lu which it is pay
able. Nevertheless tho silver dollars circa
late In a limited quantity to the extent' that
they toko the place of $1 and $2 green
backs, for the necessity for small notes
will bo sufficient to overcome the J of 1 per
cent premium on coin. As to the rolotlons
between silver and gold, it Is only necessary
to point out that greenbacks aro now within
j of 1 per cent of par with gold, and yet
they are redeemable, when they aboil be re
deemed at all, la silver dollars; then tho
silver dollar certoinly cannot be very widely
removed from par with the gold dollar. Bat,
to dispose of tho question, we will make tho
same practical suggestion to tho shrewd
Adeerliter financier that wo have olreody
made to the Now York Timet and Xation
men, viz.: If yon cau buy silver dollars
down East at 88 cents, or S>o cents, or
even 9.» cents, yon can do <» smashing
business by taking oil yon can get, for
you can send them oat boro and
exchange them at par for tho broadstuils
and produce of the Northwest, which you
can sell at New England prices, or, if you
prefer it, you can got greenbacks for them
at a small broker’s commission. Wo know
of no better business to go into tbeso hard
times, if tbe Eastern papers tell the truth
about tho value of silver dollars. If they
can't toko this practical advantage of the
situation os they describe U, then let us have
a suspension of their complaints about tho
90-cont dollar till they can furnish a reason
able ami practical test that tho present
Action has become a fact.
KOBE SECESSION DOCTRINE.
Ex-Qov. Joint M. Fulmer, of Illinois, has
boou ventilating bis opinions iu a recent lot*
ter. lie thinks the 41 Republican party ao*
complished iU mission in 1870, and that it
ought then have been disbanded, as was the
army iu I 860." Why in 1870 any more tbau
la 188 Gor 18Q8? Gov. Valuer did uot
conclude to join (bo Democrats until 1870,
and hence he puts the proper data for the
disbandment of the Uopubtlcau party late
enough to cover bis own conduct. Iu 1808,
when Palmer was the Republican candidate
for Governor of Illinois, be never intimated
that tba Republican parly ought to disband
in 1870, or that ho intended to go back to
tbe Democrats. His advice then was to
secure tbe National and State Governments,
with a view of perpetuating tbe Republican
party and forcing the Democratic party to
disbond. Spooking of the two parties he
writes:

abort, it acema to me that the Republican party ac
complished ita mission iu 1»70, and that it ought
then have been disbanded aa tbe army was iu Ihdd.
The Republican party has. I before said, run lu
race, and it will for the next quarter of a century
attempt to answer every criticism upon UsacUby
appealing to Its record during the Civil War, aud
will always fear to yield any power for the Federal
(Jvvcrutuvut which It claimed or exercised dutiu^
the Wsr. The Democratic psrly, on the other
hand. Is theoretically right now »s It was before

pie* of constitutional republican government.
»t present Infected with heresies and nonsense,
l it mar, nntl will pronnblv. rid It*clf«f them,
JUcandosnbv steady apneale to tie own fun*
mental doctrine*.
What aro tho “ moat important and essen
tia! principles of oonatUntional government"
on which (he Republican party fundamental
ly differs from the Democratic party, and on
which the latter, despite all its heresies, is
"theoretically right now as it wait before tho
War”? Gov. Palmer himself famishes the
answer,—State Sovereignty. It is related -
(bat a man of eminent learning and ability
in England, when accused of mental aberra
tion, endured for days tho test of n rigid and
exhausting examination by distinguished
jurists, and, while ho gave no sign of mental
weakness, gave abundant evidence of the
most extensive learning and clearness of
judgment. At last ho was asked if he was
not Cubist, and he promptly answered that
bo was. So with Oov. Palmer : once
(ouch tho subject of Stote Rights
and the nationality of the United States as
opposed to a new confederation of sovereign
States, and the delusion of an otherwise
well-balanced mind is revealed. Theo
retically, tho Democratic party, though
fresh from a long . and costly war, favors
tho doctrine that the United States aro a
confederation of sovereign States and not a
nation, ond that the nse of an army by the
more agent of tho States to assert and en
force national anthority in the territory
of and over tbe people of the sovereign
States "is dangerous" to liberty and sub
versive of constitutional right. For this
reason he thinks the party generally,
though poisoned with heresies, is right
now, as it was in 1800, when the Dem
ocratic Stoles appealed to arms to
defend themselves against the nation. It is
true, tho Governor offered Uls services to the
nation, snd led national troops Into the ter
ritory of sovereign States, suspended civil
authority by the use of the bayonet, arrested
and imprisoned free citizens acting under
the authority of their sovereign States, and
shot them down In the field as he would any
other public enemies in time of war. Never
theless, leaving to others to explain or ac
count for this violence to the sanctity of free
and sovereign States, tho Governor now be
bolds tho existence of an army of 25,000
men in a population of 45,000,000 as signifi
cant of terrible danger. lie alone command
ed a greater force than that, and some
how or another gained considerable credit
for re-establishing national authority within
tho hostile Democratic and sovereign States,
who only insisted in 1860 on tho doctrine
which tho Democratic party now holds iu
opposition to the theory of tho Republican
party. Without State Sovereignty, according
to Falmbb, the Democratic party would bo
barren of a sound political principle; while
with it, the American people will be apt to
hold it, os they did in 1861, as a constant
menace of disunion, rebellion, civil war, ond
anarchy.
LECHEROUS BONDHOLDERS.
In all bis harangues Dennis Keaunet de
nominates those persons who hold any Gov
ernment securities as "lecherous bond
holders." Sometimes he varies it by calling
them " thieving, lecherous bondholders/' or
‘‘bondholding, lechorons rascals," bat what
ever tho phraseology may be the chief allega
tion against them is lechery. Tho gravamen of
his accusation Is tho offense against chastity;
tbo grievance complained of is incontinence
on the part of bondholders, or the tendency
of owning bonds to produce concupiscence.
As Dennis keeps a private secretary in bis
employment whom ho bronght along with
him from tho land of Duet Haute, we take
it for granted that tbe meaning of tbe word
has been explained to him, and that he ap
plies it understandlogly. Wbusted defines a
lecher as a man given to lewdaess j one ad
dicted in on excessive degree to iudulgonceof
sexual desires aud illicit commerce with
women. And lecherous—Keabnei’s favorite
adjective—moans addicted to lewdaess,
prone to indulge lust, eto.
It would scorn that Kearney mast bavo
observed some Immoral influence wrought
on a citizen by investing a portion of bis
money In United States bonds. If a man
lends any money to the National Gov
eminent at ft or 0 per cent in time of war t or
4 per cent in time of peace, be instantly bo*
comes a bod, loose citizen, according to Den
nis, The loaning pf money to the Govern- 1
went at half the mmol bank rates of inter
est changes the lender's moral character,
and ho sinks Into a *• lecher," and thereafter
is a u lecherous bondholder." The way to
avoid this fall of man Is not to lend any
money to the Government. To hoard money
docs not appear to undermine masculine vir
tue, nor is it dangerous to a man's
chastity to donate money to Keauney's crowd
of tramps, and a person may even invest it
in food or clothing and still bo pure; but if
in a moment of weakness or absent-minded*
ness he gives way before the enticements of
4 per cent interest on his money from Uncle
Sam, from thotbourhebocomesinflamedwith
lawless carnal desires, and, in the language
of the Celtic drayman, he is thereafter a
“lecherous bondholder." The remedy for
this deploroble effect of bonds ou the
holders is that advocated by Drink Poucboy,
viz., “ to burn thorn." The burden of Prick's
war-song is “burn the bonds." lie pro
poses to organize rifle clubs for the purpose
of compelling the “lecherous" wretches
who have loaned money to the Govern meut
to surrender their bonds m order to have
them burned. Keabney states the pyscho
logical effect the ownership of bonds pro
duces on a man—that U makes him lecher
ous; and Poueuoy prescribes tbe remedy
that will restore him to the paths of virtue—
to seize his bonds and hum them.
HIHHEBOTA OANE-8Q0A&.
Vor many years experiments have been made
to convert the Juice of tho sorghum-cane Into
granulated sugar, ami to free It of the peculiar
wild taste the sorghum-sirups possess. It Is
now claimed Ibis has been accomplished by
parties of Minnesota. Wo understand that,
after a long series of experiments and observa
tions, they have found a variety of the cane
which produces a pure saccharine Juice, free of
the disagreeable and objectionable taste at
tached to the aorghum-molasm heretofore In

The Bt. Paul Prm of the Otb lust, has tho
following remarks concerning this Important
matter. The sorghum-cane will grow wherever
corn can be raised, and It la as easily cultivated

this country from the West Indies, taking one
year with another, costs as much as the whvaf
exported will pay for. If this country pro

FIAT MONEY.
To the Editor n/ The Tribune.
CiticAoo, Aug. 10.—Much has been foolishlv
said and written about flat money; and.* If run will
allow a little space in your paper, 1 will elucidate
the subject In a new light, or possibly obscure It
effectually, m others have done.
Flat money Is that which Is made money by the
fiat, tbe law or the aupromo power, of tho State or
country in which It la used: in other words, it is
lawful money, and none other. If we should nso
horso-rnilroad tickets as a matter of convenience
In making change, as we did before tho War, in
Chicago, such tickets would take the place of
money practically, and answer its uses for the
time being; but they could not properly bo
deemed lawful money, because there I* no fiat
power or law compelling any one to receive them.
In like manner we might nso gold, silver, copper,
and nicuel, or greenbacks, as money, by common
consent, and effect tbe exchanges necessary in
civilised society. We might weigh oar gold and
other metals each time one product or article was
exchanged or purchased, or Invent new methods
of doing business; but the world seems to have
discarded such crude methods of (rutile, and to
have adopted tho flat principle of making lawful
money, regulating Its value by the flat of Govern
ment. This fiat makes a certain weight of metal,
of a specified name ond finenass, a dollar or an
eagle, a cent or a nickel.
The power to Infuse tho flat principle Into Inert
matter, and give It vitality, Is clearly expressed in
these words of the Constitution: *• to coin money,
and regulate the value thereof, and of foreign
coins.*'
There Is no limit to this power to coin money and
fix iu value, except the discretion and good sense
of Congress.
Wo may laugh it and ridicule men who advance
rugae and impracticable theories or * * flat money, ”
but the great truth alii! mast be acknowledged:
"Flatmoney," or money made by theeupremo
power of a State, la the only safe money.
Calvin 1)b Wolf.
REMARKS.
Mr. Db wolf, we regret to perceive, foils to
cast any new light on what te "flat money ”;
but has realized hla fears, and "obscured it.”
110 looks to the Constitution to llntl the "flat ”
power conferred on tho Government, and, after
quoting tbc language of tho supremo law,
wholly misunderstands and misinterprets Its
meaning. The Constitution confers on Con
gress tho authority “to coin money, and regu
late the value thereof, and of foreign coins. 1 ’
"To coin ” is a verb, and WanaTUiuJellucs It:
"To stamp and convert Into money,as a piece of
oulal; to mint.” The noun "coin” Is defined
by tbe same authority, as applied to money. " A
piece of metal on which certain characters are
stamped, making It (the metal) legally curreut
os money.”
All this refers exclusively to metal money;
and, when tho Constitution was made, the only
metal money In tho civilized world consisted of
gold and silver. Copper was only used as
token-currency, to make change In the fractions
ami transactions too small for gold or silver
money. There was no such money os flat paper
at tbe time our Constitution was framed. There
was not a paper dollar In existence. Such a
thing was not known. Tho Continental cur
rency was the nearest approach to (tat or legal
tender paper, and that had ignomlniously
played out and become utterly worthless.
If tbe Constitution recognizes "flat paper”
os coin, then tho .term "foreign coins” must
mean flat paper of foreign nations, and there
fore Congress would have the right to regulate
tho value of the Irredeemable oaper coins of
other countries; which, as a proposition, Is ri
diculous on Us face, as Mr. Db Wolf must see.
The " foreign coins ” mentioned by the Consti
tution mean gold and sliver,of course; and "to
coin money” Is a very different process from
printing paper. Wo print ou paper. We stamp
metal. To coin money by tbo Government Is to
take quantities of bullion, and melt it, and
run into molds a certain weight of this gold or
silver, and stamp certain characters thereon.
That was the Idea the framers of tbo Coustltu-
tloo bad when they used the expression, “to
coin money.”
Printing of reams of paper In parallelogram
shape, with pictures and words asserting “This
Is one dollar,” or “ ten,” or “ one hundred dol
lars,“is “flat” paper scrip. The Government
may decree that It shall pass as legal-tender
money; but It Is utterly impoulbla (or the Gov
ernment to attach any purchasing power to such
mi Irredeemable piece of paper. It will only be
worth what people wilt give for it; and, U much
of It be Issued, its purchasing power will bo
nothing. This, too, on Ibcbypothcsls that stub
arbitrary shinplastcrs could ho forccdon citizens
as legal-tender In lawful payment of debts based
ou valuable considerations; hut there Is no hint
of any such power conferred on Congress by the
Constitution..
Mr. Da Wolf llluytrates bis Idea of “fiat”
paper money by a horsu-csr ticket; other flat
l&ts do tbe same by means of a postage-stamp.
But, singularly enough, the one overlooks the
fact that the value of tbe car-ticket consists In
Us redemption ou demand by a ride on the
hursc-car. This actual service constitutes Its
redemption, and makes K current, and
not any “fiat” of tbe companies. The
postage-stamp persons also fall to perceive,
(or some reason, that the stamp Is redeemed by
couvoylng the letter to Us destination. This
service equals In value the money paid for the
stamp, and the stamp Is equivalent to the
money, on the one side, and to the service of
carrying tbe letter, on the other. The postage
stamp Is, therefore, a wholly different thing
from a “fist” pteceof paper, promising no re
demption in nujey or service on ilemubd, and
)K)ssessing no Intrinsic or exchangeable value
whatever.
Of the crowd that assembled In Paneuil Hall,
llnston, to welcome the Irish blatherskite,
KasiiNsr, the Intelligent correspondent of (lie
New York Tribum writes:
No doubt the meeting was a meeting of working*
men: but it was out particularly marked—why
mould It bare been?—from any crowo at a polit
ical meeting lo midsummer. 1 was mixed nu with
It. I bad time lo take a good look at it, and U was
Juat a crowd of workingmen, well fed. comforta

last nlglu, Ur. Uxssia Ksaukxv and .Mr. Cush
hkuun will nave their labor for their palua. In
side. what struck we la the crowd waa the entire
waul of eurm-ainees. When 1 remembered other
crowds 1 bad seen la that same hall,— especially
when I remembered tbe worn, earnest, sau faces
of the French workingmen and women, who would
have worked themselves, and scorned their spirits
that could have been moved to smile at anything,
lu those dark days of lb 70 t —l could not fee) my
heart stirred by tula assembly. Dial shouted and
yelled its applause at every mentum of the word
••hell,” or ••thief, 1 ’ or “villain,” or “bond
holiwr.” and were always ready with a burse
laugo for anything that savored of rowdyism. 1
looked narrowly for any face that seemed to bo
touched with feeling or sympathy. 1 looked for
signs of poverty or autletiug. I didn't sae a wan
in the hall who would not bate felt Insulted if a
dollar bud been offered him in charity. I saw no
rough, nor the first alga of auydealro to make a
disturbance.
It is stated in a Fond du Lac (Wls.)papcr that
the Hon. Cuiui.ES A. Elduiuub, who repre
sented that district in Congress fur ten years, is
willing to accept the Greenback or National
nomination this fall, and try titles with Ocn.
Edwards, Bragg, the present member and
prospective* nominee of tho Democratic party.
The rnmor h entitled to credence for several
good anil sufficient rroxuns, among which may
be mentioned that a bitter personal feud of long
standing and violent character exists between
Okaoo and Eldridgb, that was very much ag
gravated by Bragg's efforts to defeat En
nui dub’s Congressional aspirations; and tbo
latter now acos an excellent opoortunlty to
eelzo upon tho paper-money lunacy to UyBRAOO
out. If ho cannot get bock Into Con
gress again himself. Eldridgb* has still a
largo following among the implacable Bourbons
of Ida district, boring been an old Copperhead
ail through the War, while Braoo was a Colon
soldier; and, If Eldridgb runs, tho result Is
quite likely to be disastrous lo Bragg’s pros
pects. Braoo voted for the Confederate Field
for Doorkeeper, and that has set tho teeth of
many Democratic Irishmen In Ids district on
edge; and, altogether, it looks considerably
squally for little Brauo. Bragg's principal
competitor In tho regular Convention Is State-
Senator Job Rankin, of Manitowoc County, tho
present Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee.
Our MllwnUßce correspondent suggests tbo
probability of Matt Carpenter running for
Congress In that district on the Greenback
ticket,—which would not be a had Idea when It
Is considered that Matt Is crazv to get back
Into Congress again; and the other fact that the
district Is hopelessly Democratic. Matt was
always popular with the boys, and the present
disorganized condition of the Democracy In that
district offers an excellent opportunity for him
to utilize that "personal magnetism” and fer
vid oratory that have long been Mr. Carpbn
trr’b principal stock In trade. If we ore to
lose the brilliant services and Infinite resources
of Benjamin F. Butler from the halts of
Congress, there Is no man that we can
now think of who has the varied
and diversified ability to fill bis place as well
as Matt Carpenter. Ills own uncertain
political status fully corresponds with the
unstable affairs In the Milwaukee district, and
H seems as if there was a tide In Matt’s affairs
which taken at Us flood might lead on to Wash
ington.
Lost Friday, Aug. 10. Mr. John Bright, the
(Treat Liberal member of the English Parliament,
comolutcd toe twenty-first year of his connec
tion with Birmingham os one of Its Representa
tives In Parliament. The event is to be com
memorated fa u manner worthy of the town.
Says the Birmingham Post:
It may take place toward me dost of September
or the beginning of October, and it le pronosod that
the proceeding* shall occupy two days, on the
first there wilt be a public reception of Mr. BmotiT,
ami a procession will (hen no through the main
streets of the town to llinyley Hall. Hero It
is proposed that addresses shall be presented from
Birmingham, and that representatives of Liberal
organizations throughout the country shall also
have the opportunity of presenting addresses. The
programme Tor the second day includes a meeting
with the Committee of the Six Hundred,and a pub
lic dinner In the Town-ilall In the evening. It la
Intended, further, that a atatue of Hr. Dninur
shall bo erected hi some conspicuous place, and
also that a oresontatioQ shall bo made to Mr.
ItniotiT himself—one that may remain In bta fam
ily as an heirloom for generations to come.
Tbo New Orleans Fkayunt gives as concise a
definition of tho •* National” party a* we
remember to have seen. They are especially
distinguished from all others, .says tbo Pica
yune, by their “absolute-money” dogma.
“They advocate the withdrawal from circula
tion of the notes of the National Banks. They
want the entire' bonds of tho United States
called In and settled In greenbacks. They want
. nil Government duea paid in greenbacks. They
want $1,000,000,000 In paper money printed and
paid out to laborers on new and extensive pub
lic national works, that shall give employment
to armies of men now Idle. It will be remem
bered that one of the witnesses before the Con
gressional Committee investigating the labor
uucstton expressed his plan ot having the Gov
ernment Issue $1,400,000,000 ot greenbacks for
public UnpruvemeoU In New Fork City alone. 1 ”
The Ideas that Matt Carpenter used to pro
mulgate upon finance seem to he spreading.
Once upon a time Matt was asked what Ida
views were upon the currency question; and he
said that all he know abput money wst “to get
as much of It as you can, as quickly as you can,
and spend tt as soon as you can.” A Mr. Man
win was before the Labor Committee tbo other
day, and gave a similar specific for hard times.
His Idea was that every man should be com
pelled by taw to speud all tho money that might
come Into bis possession os soon ss be received
it. Mr. Mbrwin was of the opinion that this
would prevent boarding and make things lively,
and It would certainly prevent the stagnation of
trade to some extent.
According to the opinion of ex-Gov. John M.
Palmer, the Democratic party “is at present
Infected with heresies and nonsense,” which, he
hop**, It will rid Itself of In due process of time.'
Vain hope. Look how tt (s tom up unou the
financial question, for example, it is foi 1 bard
money In New York and soft money InjLoulsl
ana; for one thing In Delaware and Just the
reverse In Wisconsin; lor coin money In Con
necticut and for fiat money In Virginia; lor
some sort of inflation In Illinois, and lor nobody
knows what in Ohio and Indiana.
Mr. &MAU.Bt writes (rotn Ohio to the New
York lyibune that, os tho National party 1* or*
gaulzed in secret councils, U is Imposalrde to
estimate correctly its exact strength. He says
ttial tie should not be surprised If It cast 75.000
or 100,0U0 votes to Ohio. 11 U looks now as U
We should have a quiet canvass, followed by a
pretty full vote. The result will unquestion
ably be determined by tbo effect of the National
movement In drawing strength from the old
parties.”
Ex-Uov. Paluxu says bo expects the Repub
lican party will attempt to answer all criticisms
upon Its acts by” appealing to its record dur
ing the Civil War.” Well, If It sAois/a adopt
that Una of defense, as weak os It would be, it
would tbeii have au Immense advantage over
the party that Mr. PALMiir is now consorting
with, because the Democracy lias no record to
appeal to except oue of shame, disloyalty, and
open sympathy with Rebels (u arms.
Unless another postponement takes place,
Senator TuubmaN will open bis part of tho
campaign to-morrow afternoon, at Hamilton, O.
Kxeept that It Is Thurman's keynote and bid
for tbe Presidential uominatlon of bis party, the
chief Interest that the public attaches to bis
performance will be his definition of tbe Ohio
‘•ldee.” Tom Kwihq bos already told us what
the “Idee” Is, and now we wait to get Tiiur
mam’s definition of It.
While Qor. Hrndrioks la hard at work try
ing to explain tbo poalUoo of Dak VooauiKS

voters of Indiana would like to have him ex*

of bis public career, and now be would like to

Ex-Gov. Palmer thinks tho Republican party
accomplished its mission in 1870, and ought to
havo been disbanded at that time. About that
time Mr. Palmeil did disband his nart o( it,
and went over Into tbo camp of the nictny,
where ho still abides; bat somehow very for
of his old associates thought It worth wbtlo to
follow him; consequently tbo Republican mnj
has not yet disbanded.
Qov. Palmer la persuaded that, thougli u,

way for It to reach "solid ground” is to Uks

The Canadian authorities have Just forbidden
United States Revenue-Marine steamers iroiu
succoring American vessels In distress In Cana
dian waters. Tbo action of the British Govern
ment In this respect has been called to the at
tention of the Solicitor of the Treasury Depart
ment for the purpose of an examination of tbs
laws, with a view to ascertaining whether ilia
United flutes steamer violated any law or its
commander exceeded his authority In th«
premises when he went to tho rescue of sa
American vessel in Canadian waters,
although in tow by an English tug-boat
which seemed incapable of saving it
from becoming a wreck. It is a rule,
even In American waters, for revenue-marine
steamers not to interfere with tug-boats whra
piloting American vessels. The question no*
is as to bow far this prohibition applies to those
steamers when It Is oppurent that, without their
aid, the yessel must bo lost. The Canadian tug
boat owners or pilots are Jealous of our marine
cutters, knowing that their lees for pilotage and
for rescuing a ship are very much diminished If
the steamers ot our Government Interfere wlta
what they claim to be their exclusive right and
line of duty. An Investigation will be made Into
the whole subject by the Treasury Department.
