U sjhpoMera, nil noprrjua'leed and thoughtful
tUwtoo .& important qneattotu tshereln dla
MMd, are worthy of more than ordinary at
fantWa. It reads aa follows!
Q. Yon wcro uylng the other day that yon
414 not look for any lmprov ement In business
a&lra for the present?
X. Yea, I aald so, and rare yon my reasons.
Jut tblaatug sal do. I said then, and repeat
row, thai nether of the great political parties
tn Congress havo yet made the flrtt wove to
ward providing the needed relief, and u large
bodlca more ilowly, It ! not likely Uiat relief
from that quarter will bo tpMdlly forthcom
ing, aud arttcularly becatue up tothli dato
Congress dot not teem to realize that busi
ness mattcri are going wrong, and from bad
to worse every day.
Q. Ii boilness lathe East u dnll aa in the
WeaaT
I A.,1 know littlo about the Went from per
gonal observation, but in the East all branches
ofbnalneMare moroor lesa crippled, and many
Urge manufacturing establishments arc at a
.standstill,
Q. Yon think, then, that Congress rhould bo
made to understand tho true situation ?
A. Certainly and I suppose the memben
do kiww all about it, -but the question of ob
taining or providing relief Is complicated, and
It Is pcrliipa thought to be safest to let matters
drift till the election are over. A body of
men enjoying a fixed Income and wedded to
party are naturally ocenpltd with consider
ing the ways and means to keep themselves
and party In power, and aro not expected to
give much attention to troublesome questions
notll tho people riuiludthcni of their more
legitimate dutlw,
Q. Then you thtuk tho people have some
thing to do to keep Congress up to the work T
A. Well. I think so. The people hare been
too much In tho habit of leaving their political
duties to be at (ended to by the politicians in thtcr
reipoctlre neighborhood!, anl hare allowed
themselves to be vlct (mixed by tho claptrap of
e canvass; and even Intelligent men, who
ke excellent care of their business aflat,
aeem to think It rnlgar to know anything
about politics, and a degradation to learn any
thing about public attain; so they have left to
designing, f elfish mcutodo for them what of
allthlugs In Ufo they should do for themselves,
namely, their own thinking That has been
the habit to a very great extent, and it is to be
hoped tbat tho leeeons of the present will pro
duce a chango in this regard.
Q, To come to tho point, what do you tbluk
woald give relief to the bukfucci Interests of
the country?
A. First wako up tho slumbering energies
f the people, andputbeart Into them. Their
despondency hu beconio chronic, and they
need an alterative treatment. The public
teach cm, politicians, and economists, prruaud
pal nit, have been advocating tho idm of econ
omy In ltv Ins until It rns resulted In a ncccs-
ilty In some cases of hav lug to live on nothing
at all or beg. Of courto this radical doctrine
has forced a great reduction of consumption not
only of the luxuries aud com forts of life, hut
in many cases oi tuo actual necessities, tuch
ft policy carried so far as it baa boen in this In
stance, can havo but one result, and that Is
ruin to the laboring classes, whtlo no real per
manent advantage can bo derived by tho
more fortuuite. Thcro was no
need of forclug such a state of
thlugsin tuts country, as ev cry filr minded
bud uiuU admit. Ten years ago everybody
wan profitably employed, and correiqondingy
bappy. Bvcrjbpd tbat was willing to work
could flud It to do, and if a day lal orer could
earn bis throe meals for himself and family
everyday, who wns Injured by his having
them? Indeed, who was not beucfitod hy tho
universal prosperity and social tranquility
which euahlcu all classes to woik cheerfully
together for good, with food enough und home
enough to mako ull happy in their respective
spheres lu life?
Q. Dut j ou know it ii said by somo that w o
havo been ludulgiug in too much extras tigauco
f UabHs sluco tho war?
A. Tli at is bosh, Tho war opened to us a
way to discover the niarvcloas resources of this
eonntrj, reiourcai that wo uccr thought any
people on earth poMeitscd. litis diiuxvtrr in
the scale of Impoikmce was second only to the
finding of the continent Itself, it was wheu

terprlso was wide awako thut tho con u try
made Its greatest strides In all brauclics of de
velopment. And vi e would bare seen no abate
ment of prosperity If we had cloned our ears to
tho counsels ofdoctrlualies aud timid men who
felt it io bo their duty to toddlo back to the
autc-bellutn ruts, which were no more suited to
the new ordi'r of things than an ox team for mall
purposes, or the nrttis that Iranklln used

taking tho taxabla aatlmato of Its value ten

nobody will be foot enough to apply the

forebodlnr to the nrolecton themselves. They
arc scared at the reanlts of their own work.
They did not really mean to accomplisb all
tbat lias resulted iroin their policy. Hut thoy

In so far that should I wado no more,

There aro thousands of men lu New England
to day who, two years ago, would have re
buked such Iewi as I have expressed to you,
bat who now cherish them as convictions, and
the people will understand all about this
business, aud In due time, aud In a dignified
manner, tbey will net things right at the bal
lot box. New Kugland people regard govern
ments aud concrossos aa creature of tho popu
lar will, endowed with no arbitrary power or
uivjne prerogatives, liiey aro conveniences
to be dealt with aa tho popular will decrees,
or tbo popular tutolllgonca tblnki best. Those
thluga will tm thought about and talked about
as much In New .England as In tho West, and
In my opinion the elections the coming autumn
will show the popular dissent to the preseut
niggardly policy of Congress to bo almost mil
vcrsal. Tbo peoplo have not yet made a sign,
but the elements in walllns to be oreanluwl
aro as formidable In Massachusetts aa iu Ohio
or Indiana OorjfeOple ars slow to anger, aud
of great mercy, bnt moat of them think and
worK rapidly wnen tney get reauy to investi
gate a question.
Q. Then you think tho policy of contraction
wasnuwlse?
A. As the country was situated, I know It
was unwise 1 1 tbluk It little short of a crimo
In tho magnitude of Its folly. We should have
let Well enousrh alone, and rrown uo to ih
stato of affairs In which wa found ourselves at
tho close of tho war, rather than to Imperil
everything In the Interest of an Imported
theory, not at all appllcablo to our caso at any
time or the principles of our Government, or
to tbo obligations which the peoplo had as
sumed In tho defense of Its integrity. We cut
off oue wing of the eagle, aud ox pec tod he
would fly as serenely and as gracefully as ever
before. We took off his best wing and left
him to sail, If he could, with his
weakest one. Of course ho fell to the
ground. The feat was impossible of per
formance If by virtue of contracts the
bonds and natloual debt wero to be protected,
aud if the seventeen hundred aud fifty aud
moie millions of bonds wcro to be oxouipt
fromtaxutlon, the nou boudholdlng portion of
tho community woie, as a nutter of course, to
have tho responsibility of keeping tho Govern
ment In good ruuniug order und of meeting
tho bills Would It not, uudcr such circum
stances, have been Rood sense to keep the ma
chinery which main La tned tho equilibrium
iutactr Iho business men and workiugnieii
ami producers could havo made tho monty und
consumed the products of each othor's labor
and kept our revenues up, and without
abatement of prosperity we could have
kjiu .i.'fc uut ruTcuuua i
abatement of prosperity
provided, by silent coutr
sinking fund, for tbo ultL
contributions to tho
ultunato extiiiEUlsu-
ment of the publio debt, aud a population of
ouo uuuarcu minions would, in tweuiy-nvo
years, hivo forgotten that the country bad
at any tlmo met a head flaw In IU career.
Hut, ou tho contrary, our policy for the lat
ten years has been the policy urged by foreign
capitalists, who scout tho theory of solfgov
oruuiciit and equal rights, aud if followod to
its logical result, as some meu would have It,
would place half our population on a level with
a Digger Indian In fifty yearn. He fort tbo
peoplo submit willingly to this retrograde In
civilization and progress It will be uocessary
to shut up the public schools and the churches,
ifonh asa simple matter of mercy. Wo ought
to build up and uot tear down. It nsed to be
popular ta say that, and It may bosougatu;
but first of all wo must got our Industries on a
good footing, aud tho Innocent men of wealth,
who wero Inveigled into the ring of eontrac
tlonlrts, will hall the day wheu they can gut
out of bvd com piny aud unite with those
whoso purpose It Is to rovivo tho hearts and
hopes of the people.
Q Then you inlst that Congress bears tho
burden of rebpouslhlllty now T
A. I havo uo doubt about that Iseo no
other sou i co from which Immediate relief can
come Our boslneu interests aro prostrate tbo

gain his lost vigor, and If he is left alono and

In the foreign commerce of the country to and
from all our ports mora than tTjOO,000,000 of
merchandise In Amerlcan-bullt ships, while
foreign ships of all nationalities carried but a
little over two hundred millions. Twenty
yean pass by, and In 1877 wo find that Amer
ican built ships carry less thau three hundred
millions, while foreign built ships carry above
eight hundred millions. In other words, tho
amount of merchandise carried In out foreign
trade In American vessels has fallau off more
than 40 per cent. In twenty years, while the
amount carried In foreign built vewols baa In
creased well nigh fourfold. In 1S57 American

they did little more than a quarter part of the

For a change co radical and disastrous there

mattar of tho contract with tho bond, syn
dicate, that they aro not worthy of no

the attempts to make it appear tint then
naa ueen unusual secrecy or corrupt or Inv
proper agreements aro absurd. The contracts
were made In the prownco of more than
a scoro or gentlemen, Including Attorucy-
ucnerai ivene, tno Uomptrolter of tho Cur
rency, tho chief of the Loan DlTlnlon of tho
Treasury, the Assistant United 8 tales Troai-
urcr at New York, and tha aeTeral bankers
who comprise tho syndicate.
Tho contract Is In precisely tho same terms

eXW,noo of H per cent bonds "flrm" at once,
aud 5t0.000.003 more at tho same rato of not

The Government can terminate or rescind the
contract at nlll,tand the syudicato is allowed
discretion as to fulfillment of IU part of the
vgroumviit.

No. U
While dlscrmlng with tho utmost freedom
the preachers of some Methodist leaders, and
tracing tho effect of their wlrc-worklng upon
tho destlntca of their church, we can truly say
that we have hot the least hatred toward them
or toward tho church they In some degree mis
represent. We rccognlco tha fact that every
thing In Clod's provideuco Is good for Jut the
purpose designed by divine wisdom. Every
occleAastlcal organisation has Us work to do,
whether that work Is to transmit sublime
troths to future ages ; to Inspire human hearts
with greater lovo for others ; to defend civil or
religions liberty, or to lead men closer to the
Great Bhcpherd of souls. Wo have no quarrel
with any religious denomination any more
than wo have a quarrel with chemical ele
ments whose properties we Investigate. They
are all apples In the garden of God, aud though
some may yet bo green aud harsh, and to us
unpalatable, they w III ripen tn the sunshine of
dlvlue love, and even now they may give
nourishment to millions of God's crcatnrea,
who find In them that which suit the needs
of their nature.
There are many things about Methodism
that wo greatly admlro, and we have no Ill-will
evtn for Its most tricky aprtt.c Having
called attention to tho evils that may result
from the olfUh conspiracy of the Methodist
barons to control for selfish eudsthe machinery
ofthetr organization, we only think It necessary
to notice incidentally ana urivny two other is
sued that seem likely to come to tho front lu
that church. If the barons bad openly dented
thejuvtlce of our strictures we might have
felt it necessary to say wore, but their alienee
Is an admission that thcro n as substantial tm th
in our Indictment. The two Imucs that will
yet require for their adjudication the wisest
