farming, the exchange of products, the
operations in- real estate, the building, the
distribution of food and clothing can be
carried on without banking facilities? The
civilized world cannot go back into bar-
barous usages. There’:musl: be banks of
exchange, of discount, of deposit, if not of
‘issue. If banking, is. not to bc a private
enterprise, then the government must be
the bank—a gigantic political monopoly.
But one great bank of issue will not serve
the people. They want to borrow, to ex-
change, to do business, in short. Then
‘ tlier‘éiiifis't‘fic bank's enough to accommodate
the people. There'm'mt be ha 1k ofiicers,.
clerks and accountants-another great army
of government officials. .Who is to support
this great army? Is the government to
mike profit enough out of its banking busi-
ness to support the great machinery ? But
with our experience in government operations
docsanybody suppose that the government
can do the ban' 'ng business of the country as
cheaply as private individuals do it? Gov-
ernment might just as well attempt to run
the groceries, and dry goods shops, of the
country. Here wOuld be a monopoly worth
looking ‘at. Talk about the monopoly of
the national banks! Any five men who
choose can start one—any men who have
the capitolto do any large business. And
who are these bankers? ' Why, there is
probably no property in the country more:
eventy distributed than bank stock. The
shares are scattered all over the land in
small sums; they are largely held by wid-
ows, single women, people who have. only a
thousand or two dollars in the world. The
nationals talk about the two thousand banks
and the monstrous millions they hold. They
do not say how these millions are distribu-
ted.
But the banks make double interest; they
get interest on the bonds they deposit, and
interest On the currency they issue. Well,
that is true But any one who owns a bond
gets interest on it. If he chooses to pledge
the bond he can borrow money on it, and
use the money in business, and perhaps he
can make something in his business. > That
is exactly what the banks do. They earn
the money they make. When business is
lively they earn money, when it is dull
they lose money. The business they do, a
necessarybusiness in our civilization, cannot
be done for nothing. The government
could not do it for nothing. The banks do
is cheaper to the people than the government
could do it. The fact is, and the more it
is looked into by any intelligent man the
clearer it. will appear, that the small amount
of interest paid on the government bonds
which secure the national bank notes
amounts to a mere trifle per capita, and is a.
very small; sum to pay forthc facilities which
the national banks offer and their absolute
socurity.——Cmtrant '
The republicans and anti-Tammanyites of
New York have united on a ticket for city
' and country :offices which wrll command the
support of the better class of citizens. The
nominee for mayor is Edward Cooper, a son
of Peter, and a partner of Abram S. Hewitt
in the iron business. He is a man of ability
and of sterling character, who has for years
been prominent in fighting the corrupt rings.
Benjamin K. Phelps is renominated for dis-
trict attorney, and the other. nominees are
of similar character. Tammany has renom-
leafed for city judge the notorious Gun-
ning S. BedfOrd, and the nominees, except-
ing Augustus Schell, who is a respectable
figurehead, .arc scarcely an improvement
-\ over those made during the Tweed rule.
The registration in New York shows a total
voting population of 232,152 of which'90,

citizens. ‘ This it will be noticed gives the

The widespread distress Decasicued by
the failure of the Glasgow bank is shown
by the list of-shareholders whose names fill
six columns of one of the’city newspapers.
Many are women, clergymcn, school teach—
ers and others of moderate means, very few
holding as much as $5,000 of stock, the
amount required to qualify a person to be
a director. Under the law every sharehold‘
er, even if owning but one share, is held
responsible for the debts to the estent of his
entire property—a fact which means ruin
to a multitude of people who are in no just
sense responsible for the wreck. ,TO IIIL'SI‘
the factfithat the directors have been. at-
rested and will be held criminally respon-
sible will bring 'melancholy satisfaction but

The Republican platform of Connecticut
is today and will remain the Republican
platform of the nation until the final question
is settled, and it does the heart of an old Re—
publican good to see the great Republican
party now gathering its forces on that point,
digging its trenches and preparing to charge
withanimperidus and gallant spirit to the
last fortification......The republican party de-
clares that the—faith once pledged is sacred
and at all hazards shall be redeemed. The
Republicaudces not say this because honesty
is the best-policy, but knowing that with na-
tions, as with men, in the long run good faith
and honesty must and will be the best policy
..... .Thc country has passed through five
years'of financial trial and disaster—passe!
through. A vast: amount of indebtednes has
been liquidated by the cruel process of bank-
ruptcy, but it has been liquidated. The
greenback promise is now worth 995. cents in.
gold. We are touching. solid ground. The
business of the country is adjusting itself, by
anticipation, to the financial system. The
sun has not yet risen high in the heavens,
but the day is breaking. Bright colors are
streaking the dawn. There is hope abroad ;
there is a prospect of renewed prosperity.
God has been bountiful to us in the crops He
has given us. Everybody can look forward
with hope. The late prime minister of Eng-
land, looking at our situation, fully cognizant
of it all through, in a very able article de-
clarcs that notwithstanding all our misfor-
tunes the American people are one of the
richest nations on the earth, and that the cen—
sus of 1880 will show it to be the richest.
(Applause.)' Now,‘ then, in this state of
things, what is the proposition, or rather
what are the propositions? The different
groups of men come forward, each with its'
theory, each proposing some experiment.
The theories conflict with each other; there
is no agreement among them,,but all are
marked by one characteristic. Allhpropose
that just at this critical moment fire ,nation
shall instantly revolutionize and’destiby the
financial system that business is adjusting
itself to, and substitute for the same one or
another of the theories advanced by one or
another of these groupes. N ow, the Repub-
lican party saysthat if there ever was a
country or ever a time in any country when
it was safe-for any nation to commit itself to
the hazard of an experiment, this country at
this time is not such a nation. The Republi-
can party demand financial peace to-day. It
says to Congress “hands off; lot the finance
alone; disturb them not." (Applause) The
ship begins to move. The blocks have been
.struck out and she moves gently and slowly
on the ways, slowly but surely. Let her
alone. Let her move on until launched on
the bright sea of prosperity before her. '

Buf'if it isftihpedessary for us to decide
whether herTilded was or was not ignorant
on purpose,“ we shall'at least, insist that he
cease afironting the common sense of man-
kind by crying, in the face of Mr. Smith
M.- Weed, that he has been “defrauded"
Of the presidency by means of “false cer—.
tificates given by the Florida and South
Carolina returning boards to “republican
electors who had not been chosen by the
movie.” - ‘ _
We pass over for the present the cases
of Florida and Louisiana, because with re-
spect to the true vote of those states there
have always been honest differences of
opinion; and althouglr we are convinced
that the republicans rightfully carried both
of them, we cant understand how Mr. Til.
den might be just as strongly convinced
of the contrary. But with respect to South
Carolina the matter stands otherwise. Mr.
Tilden knows, and has known all along,
that he did not carry that state, and that, by
any theory of the rights and powers of'the
retur‘ning. board, the seven electoral votes
which Smith M. Weed agreed to buy there
could only"have “been given to the demo-
cratic candidate by a barefaced and enor-
mous fraud. His confidential agent tele-
graphed to him in the frankest possible
terms that the votes were against him.
Whether the board counted the votes as'
they stood on the face of the returns, or
assumed the power to go behind the returns,
correct palpable errors, and throw out the in
timidatcd counties, the democratic electoral
ticket was nevertheless defeated. That is
the statement which Smith M. Weed tele-
graphed to Gramercy Park as soon as he
had studied the situation. He never varied
from it. He repeated over and over again
that the case was desperate. He urged the
New York managers to put no trust in
South Carolina, but to “capture other states.
He told them that their only chance was
to buy the returning board “absolutely."
Meanwhile, said he, ,“I shall keep up ap-
pearances.” They did agree to “buy the
board absolutely.” When that plan failed
they tried to buy the legislature, agreeing
to raise the money for the purchase of four
state senators and “a couple of new negroes.”
Last of all, they proposed to throw the
Bayes electors into jail by a trick, and keep
them locked up in separate cells until it
was to late for South Carolina to cast
her vote at all. And these deeds of
corruption and violence they undertook in
order to secure the electoral votes of a
state which, as their own agents assured
them, had been lawftilly carried by Hayes
and Wheeler. *
For Mr. Tilden to. ignore these damning
disclosures, and still pretend to believe that
he has been defrauded by a corrupt can.
vassing board, is an exhibition of impu-
dencfl which the people can hardly con-
template without ‘irritation. The time has
passed for “keeping up appearances.” The
shameful truth is now exposed to the whole
world." Mr. Tilden is not to imagine that
he can hide it by simply turning his back
upouit. He is not to flatter himself that,
having tossed the scandal aside with the care-
less remark that he knows nothing about it,
he may go on as before, scolding the rcpuli-
cans, on the bold assumption .that they have
committed the very crimes which are traced
to his own house.

\Vc have in our mind a brilliant and culti
voted young lawyer who started in life with
$20,000, and a refined, beautiful and accom-
plished wife. He is now a sort of, factotum
in a carpet mmufactor-y, running hither and
thither at the heck and call of‘ those he se—p
crctly despises, doing tasks far beyond his
strength, yet eager and anxious to please test

menial work be cut? off. \Ve know one who
was a bank president ten years ago, owned
his carriage, who now does copying in an in'
surauce office at $350 month, supporting—
God knows how—a wife and five children on
it. We know one once high in office in a
Western state, who last wintersolicited work
at cleaning out offices and building fires; Nor
have the changed times less bitterly affected
women, but rather more. 'Jennie Collins, of
Boston, famed for her Employment Bureau
and Workingwoman‘s Home, says in her re—
port: “Many kind ladies who have hired
their servants of me in past years, have been
obliged to apply for employment themselves
of'late. 'I sent alady to a hotel as a house-
keeper, and the most humiliating .of it was
that her room was in the attic with two of
her former servants. ” We are constantly
learning of women of education and refin.
ment, formerly wealthy, who are engaged as
scamstresscs, nurses and housekeepers; and r
in one case we know of a lady who would be
at home in any parlor in the land among edu.
cated people, who served as a cook in 11 hotel
for months—{Change Post.
Ingcrsoll observes, “To-day the newspa-
pers are engaged in finding out all the mean
things that are done. Unless'a thing isa bad.
thing it is not known. If all the reporters of
all the newspaper 5 would look through all the
streets and through all the houses of the
country, and find the name of some man who
had practiced self-denial for the‘ sake of his
wife and children, find some man who had
given up all the property he had to pay his
debts; who had gone out of his house, given
up his pictures and all there was'bf luxury,
and taking his wife by the hand and gone
down to poverty and penury in a but; if
they woald tell the names of all the men who-
had done generous deeds, I tell you every
newspaper in the United States would be
crowded with the names of the men and wo-
men." ' .

Goldwin smith delivered an address 'at
COrnell university, entitled, “Is Universal
Suffragea Failure 2’"; He does not take the
gloomy view of our situation, and contrasts
the American republic favorably with the
British monarchy. There are but .three'sorts
of government, hereditary right, force and
national will. 0f force we'nccdjnot speak ;_
hereditary government is tottering ‘to its fall;
there is only left the national wilt, But uni-
versal suffrage must be an «incited test.
This is not the theory of the Nationals, with,
whom ignorance seems to he a qualification
for government.

ing to the purchase of "certain’electoral votes

to be his personal followers and to be in one

possible to read that card without astonish-
ment at the absence from it of anything lIke
warm and outspoken indignation at the insult
thusofferedto himself, the great party which
he'represcnted, and to the principles of the

Mr. 'l‘ilden‘s card was scarcely needed
to strengthen the evidence furnished by
themselves in these cipher'dispatchcs to prove
that republican representatives at the South
were ready and eager to make scandalous bar-
gains with the' agents of the democratic party
if only these'agents could be induced to listen
to them. But democrats who labored for the
election of Mr. Tilden, and who regarded
him as pledged to the great work of thorough-
ly reforming our Natlonal Government, will
be startled by the tone in which he now
speaks of transactions which he evidently re-
gards as discreditable, and at variance with
his own fixed purposes “ never to surrender
or compromise the advantagesof _a perfect
independence by a degrading competition for
returning board certificates. ” Is it possible
that any-of those who surrounded Mr. Til—
den, and were in familiar intercourse with
him during the Presidential canvass, can have
sought to make him “deviate” by word or
act from that fixed purpose? If this was not
the case, what is the significance of this.
strong And peculiar phraseology? If this was
the case, what are we to think of a great po-
litical leader who could even be approached
in such a way by those whom he had honor-

HISTORY OF .1 DEAD LETTER—some time
in] 77 a soldier stationed with the cavalry
in Texas died very suddenly, and was buried
with military honors by his comrades and
the spot carefully marked. On his person
was a discharge which he had received the
day before for physical disabilities, and a
letter from his mother in England and one
evidently from his sweetheart, but signed
only by her first name. These were care-
fully preserved by fhe lieutenant ,of the com-
pany and forwarded with a letter of sympa-
thy to the bereaved mother in England. In
due course of time the letter was returned to
the United States dead letter office as un-
deliverable, the mother not being at her for—
mer address. It was then opened, and After
an cxamidation returned in its open condi-
tion with the'suggestion that the contents
would enable English post officials to dis-
cover the person it was intended to reach,
but. in due course of time it came back the
second time as undelivered. The letter was
then turned over to one of the lady clerks of
the dead letter office, who, on reading the
contents, with a woman‘s instinct, divincd
that the “Ollie" who wrote the one letter and
the Miss L—— spoken of in the mother’s
letters were identical. .What is technically
termed a “letter of discovery" was addressed
to the suppositious lady at the address in
Scotland postmarked on her letter. This
letter, on reaching that ofiice, was forwarded
to London, whither the young lady had gene
and the dead letter office here received a
letter from her with thanks for the diligence
displayed in cndcavoring to secure the
delivery of the letter, stating that it was the
first they had heard of the soldier’s death,
and giving the present ad tress of the mother.

House SrE.11.IxG.‘—-Within the last eight
months the number of horses stolen reported
at police headquarters in Kansas City, was
368. The thefts reported were divided be-
tween the four border states in the Missouri
Valley, as follows :' Horses reported stolen
in Kansas, 157; horses reported stolen in
Missouri, 140 ; horses reported stolen in Iowa,
50; horses reported stolen in Nebraska, 21 ;
total, 368. This number only includes those
reported‘ stolen and advertised by their
owners, and whose cards and descriptions
reached the Kansas City police station. It is
presumablc that this estimate does not cover
one-half of the number of horses stolen dur-
ing the last eight months in the Missouri
Valley and the adjacent country. Not more
than half of those persons losing, horses by
theft ‘go to the trouble of having cards or
hand bills printed describing the stolen
property and offering arevva'rd. Hence it
is not unreasonable to estimatethe losses of
the owners of horses-on the border at double
the number reported. Or say $80,000 lost
by theft in the four states bordering upon

Friends, lomans, countrymen ! Lend me
your ears;
I will return fliem next Saturday. I come
To bury Czesar, because the times are hard
And his folks can’t afford to hire an under- '
taker.
The evil that men do lives after them, '
In the shape of progeney, who reap the
Benefit of their life insurance.
So let it be with the deceased.
Brutus hath told you that'Cazsar was ambi-
tious. ,
What does Brutus know about it ?
It is none of his funeral. Would that it were!
Here under leave of you, I come to
Make a speech of Cmsar’s funeral.
Hoiwas my friend, faithful and just to me :
He loaned me $5 once when I was in a pinch
And signed my petition for a Post-office.
But Brutus says he was ambitious.
Brutus should wipe of his chin.
Caesar hath brought many captives home to
Rome ‘
l Who broke rocks on the strécts until their
' ransoms
Did the general coffers fill.
When that the poor bath cried, Czcsar hath
wept. -
Because it didn't cost anything, and
Made him solid with the masses. (Cheers )
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious.
Brutus is a liar, andI can prove it.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown
Which he did thrice refuse, because it did
not fit him quite.
Was this ambition? 'et Brutus says he was
ambitious. '
Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the
‘ country,
But he is a horse thief of the deepest dye.
(Applause)
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
(Laughter)
You all do know this ulster.
I remember the first time ever Caesar put it
on, .
It was on a summer’s evening in hisiteut,
With the thermometer registering ninety de-
grees in the shade;
But it was an ulster to be proud of,
And cost him S7 at Marcaius Swartzmeyer‘s.
Corner of Broad and Ferry streets, sign of the
red flag.
01d Swartz wanted $40 for it, '
But finally came down to $7 because it was
Caesar
Was thus ambitious P If Brutus says it was
He is even a greater liar than him. ’I‘ilton!
Look I in this place ran Cassius‘ dagger
through;
Through this the son of a gun of a Brutus
stabbed, ' '
And, when he phicked his cursed steel away,
Mark Anthony how the blood of Caesar fol-
lowed it 1
(Cheers, and cries of “Give us something
on the Sz'lrerBz'll! ” "Hit him again I ”
&c.)
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts,
I am no thief as Brutus is.
Brutus has a monopoly in all that business,
And if lie-had his deserts he would be
In the Penitentiary, arid don't you forget it.
Kind friends, sweet friends, I do not wish to
stir you up ‘
To such a sudden flood of mutiny,
And as it looks like rain, ,
The pail—bearers will proceed to .placc the
coffin in the hearse,
And we will proceed to bury Caesar,
Not to praise him. '

The Natl onal . Banks.
A patron of the Journal in a neighboring
town writes that the chief cause of complaint
of the greenbackers in his section is that the
national banks have a monoply in that they
are paid the interest on the bonds which the
government has in its possession to secure
their circulation and then have their circula-
tion for legitimate business, by which they
secure double interest on their. money. With
a view to correcting the wrong impressions
which these advocates of cheap money are
giving, our correspondent asks for the publi-
cation of the statistics respecting the taxation
of the banks to show that the greenbacker
does not fairly state the question.
The whole subject has been considered in
the Journal several times, but that thosein-
forested may have the figures showing the
Iaxationof the banks, we copy the same from
the report of the comptroller of the currency
for several years: '
Federal and state.
Years. Taxation. Per cent.
1871 $18,505,976 4 1
1872 15,047,682 3 2
1:173 15,504.294 3 2
1874 16,876,409 3 5
1875 17,376,659 3 5
1876 16,777,816 ‘ 3 4
If the percentage of the above tax was esti-
mated on the par value of the stock, it would
be much larger, 'as the surplus of the banks
averaging about 25 per cent. of the capital
stock, is included in the amount upon which
the above percentage is estimated. February
15th 1878, the par value of the United States
bonds deposited by the national banks was
$346,243,550, upon which $311,619,195“
national bank notes were issued. The annual
interest on these bonds is $17,290,195. The
average amount of taxes of the six years
above given is $16,660,600; deduct it from
the interest on the bonds, and it appears that
the stockholders of national banks derive
from interest on their bonds deposited less
than $525,000 more than they pay as taxes.
In other words, they practically forfeit their
interest on their bonds to secure their circu-
lation. - .
Now what would the government gain by
abolishing the national banks 7 Practically
nothing, but they would strike out of exis-
tence, so far as taxation is concerned, the
stock of the national banks upon which the
cities and towns derive a revenue,‘amounting
in Massachusetts to $95,000,000, and in New
Hampshire of $5,600,000. By destroying the
national banks all of the bonds of the United
States, now faxed, would escape taxation.
On the other hand the national banks afford
the people a safe currency. Under the old
state system the bill-holders lost hundreds of
thousands annually by failing banks. No
holder of a national brink bill ever lost a dot-
lar, and a national bank bill is good in every
state in the Union. Is it not worth a half
million of dollars a year to have such a safe
sinking currency ?-.v—-Boston Journal
