Sonazor Ferry claims thut hio cau counc up o majority in the Benato in favor of somo acli‘xumo of legal- tondor inflation like that proposed by himself, Tuore arc probably, aleo, a good mauy lio Bouator Bopy, who, whilo thoy ackuowlodge that infstion’ of tho legal-toudora would ve victous, ate williug to wink at 1t pow, becausa thoy think & would bo populor. ' Mosrs, Terry ond Bogy socm to ba laboring uudar the “impression that the panmic is still in the ascondaut ; that overything In tho way of commerce and industry is st a dead stamdshill; aud Mr. Bogy says, in subntauce, that bis part of the ccuntry—by which wo presimo Lie mouns 8L, Louis, bis plico of rosidenco—in utill in a coudition of fiunucial syncope, frum which nothe ing but wator—(ta tho curreney)—will rovive it. While (hese Congressmon, upparently ignorant of tha fact thas tie ponie Lns disappesied, me fuvoring 1ntlation, the New York Chambor or Commorco nud tho Boston Bomd of Lrade hiavo both 10contly memorialized Congress pro- testiug ngaiuet auy intlation of the groenbuck circuls.jun, aud savoring o move toward specio resumption. Theso two commoreial bodies in Donton auu New York undoubtediy represoutthe sentiments of u great portion—porbaps o ma- jority—or thy busiuess community. It must, Liowever, be ackuowledged thay thero iy, also, a lurgo clany, who, while thoy ucknuwledgothat fn- Hution of the graeubueis would bs vicious policy, say they wonid be glad to seo it dono, inorder to revive speculution. This class fiud their represeutatives i Congress in Mosers, Ferry and Bogy, aud Judge Kerloy, of Pouusyls vama, Congross thus wavering between puin- ciple aud popuwarity, & uumber of persous who are presuwed to kuow something atout finances huve beeu luvited (upon what authority 1s ques- tionable) to pariicipute i Lio Congicssioual do- bates. Of thoso thus iuvited, the only vame wentioned is that of Mr. Amaoxsa Walker, o flunn- cinl Dou Quixote, who Las » maggot in his Linin to the effect that guld 18 really higher than 18 ehown Dby the market price. A specimen of Mlr, Walker's logic was shown in Lus Tecous lettor to tlio 'resdont of tho Farmers' Assoclution in thig State, in which Lo claimed thut our “agriculaunl staples do not rise in price beeauso tho countey produces o surplug wuich must bo sont”_abroud” for & guarket, aud thoreforo rold for what they are wouth in gold at Liverpool or othier foreign ports, while what the fermor copsumes must be paid in currency prices greatly jucreased becsuse of the axcessiva volume of curroncy.” Mr. Walker omits entirely the great itom of texution, whicts iu tne nirect cause of the ighor Pricos of manufactured sricles which the farm- er consumes—no motter whetber these articles Ly of forcign or homo manufacturo, If our ag- ricultural products are #old on a gold bosis fn foreign ports, 8o also are our imported goods Dbougiit onu gold basis, sud the competation of European munufscturers would naturally make Pprices for Buch gouds a8 10w in proportion ay the Dricos of our agricultusal product, if it wore not for tho import duties, Mr. Walker's Quixotic uo- Lions aro not ealculated to enlighten Congress muck ou the eurrency quastion. FINANCES IN EUROPE, A fow weoks ago thore was considerable com- Laent in financial circles In the United Statos on the aunouncoment that the Imperinl Govern- ment or Gertnagy had made an important fu- veetmeut in United States bonds, and now comes the sunouncement that the German Goveru- ment has also purchased threo millious of tho uow Russion lonn. While the investment of Gormany in Russian sccurities is not a very lieavy one, the fact that slie has thus becomo in- terested in tho rovouuo of Russin is siguificaut of hor disposition to cultivato friendly rolations with the only L'ower whoso geographical position 10n- dors lior invulnerable. Hod -Gormany invested in tho securities of almos any other Europcan Power, it would Lave been a soit of pledgathat she would not exeicige Ler great military power Lo disturb the poaco of Burope. IFor tho pres- ent, however, tliero seoms to bo overy assurauce tlat the European Powers will continuo at peace with cach othor this yenr. The ordinary occu- pations of industry aro not likolyto be disturbed for some time, and the resuit will bo an incronso af commoditics both for homo consump- tion and for oxport. _‘Tho efccts of the Amorican panic_ in Europe aro rap- jdly disappoariug, Business on the Conti- nent and m England is improving,~a circum- etanco which argues well for a good demand for American products.

THE NORTAVEST THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, HMECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, " PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, Tho coming year promisos to be the most event{ulin a political sense that wo have seen since tho closc of tho war. The quostions which have engrossed and divided the public mind during tho pest twonty yoars are rapidly passing away, and wo find growing up in different parts of tho country a party called by vari~ ous names---in California the Inde- pendont party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho Reform party, in Illinois tho Farmers® Movement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, and oxhibiting a strength which proves that it enswers one of tho chiof do- mands of the hour., The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large sharo of its attontion to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That tho old party orgamza- tions are essentially corrupt and ‘fraudulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effoct, they have become mere business enter- prises, meking a show of opposition to each othor, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnerships is altogethor vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in vogue is & cunning device to rob the many for the berefit of the few, and that its offoct is to cause farm pro- duets to exchange for about one-half the quantity of forcign or *pro- tected” goods thoy would otherwise buy, : 3d. That railroads cannot exact more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actuslly investod in them, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the Stato may rightfully interforo for the protection of'tho people ; that unjust discriminations betwoen different localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of tho powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the pcoplo, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and financial disaster. Tho general charactor of THRE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too woll ostablished to need receapitulation. It is always indopondent and fear- less in the expreasion of its views. In its news depertment it is second to no paper in the United States. Tho Weekly Edition containg a caro- MOG SALLS, No. Av. Price)|No. Av, PriceiNo, Av.
