Bocretary Richardwon is still incrensing tho national debt by redeoming bonds that are above par, as Senator Morrill puts it, His operations in thig direction laut month smounted to a re- Zuction of 2,184,348, There was o fire ju Mitlerstown, Ya., yostor- day, by which sixty-nino buildings wore de- stroyed and n pumber of lives lost, Hoven bodloa havo been recovored, and it fu feared that othors aro still to bo found in tho ruing, At n mosting of the munagors of the Kanka- keo and tho Ditteburgh, Cincinuati & Bt.

Tho church will bo well rid of Mr. McCnrihy, and tho public will bo woll rid of the Council, whoso proccod- ings Liave beon at once ludicrous and pitiful, from tho Spanish party in Cuba for recoucilin- tlon with tho insurgonts. Uho latter are asked to roturn to their nllegiance, In roturn, they aro to bo givon represontation in the Cortes, and full pardon for all past offenses; their ostaten aro Lo be rostored, nud the Govornmont promisos to indomnify slaveholders if their vaves aro frood. hut tho Spaufrds aro willing tostoop to offer such torms shows that thoy have beon badly punishied by the reboly.

Tho folly of tho bill pusgod by the ITouso of Topresentatives looking to the establshment of a prorala tarill for the transportation of froight on all railronds passivg from ona Stato to tho othor is shown in the present ratos of all-rail Iroight from Chicago to the Atluntic citios, Yes- terduy, froight on corn from Chicago, all rail, to Now Yorl, was 8724 conts per 100 pounds, and 36 conty to Dallimoro.

This is the result of compotition established by the Baltimoro & Ohio Railroud. ‘Theso ratos aro as low ag thoso at which grain haa been cerriod by loko and Lrie Canal to Now Yorlk for soveral years, and ocour ata sonson when navigation is still closed.

The Boss doenios that ho gavo any countonance to the schomo, and avers that as soon as ho beeamo au oflicial in the District Govornmont he sold out all his in- torest in tho paving compuny.

Tho Houso of toprosontativos dovoled most of ity umo yestordny to honring spooches ngainst inflation from Phelps, of New Jorsoy, and ITnw- loy, of Connceticut. Mr. Pholps snid that tho people hod askad for money and had beon givon rags. Hawloy churactorizos tho redemp- tion of greonbacks as n gamo of throe-card moute, it bolng maunged on the princlplo of “Now you soo it, and now you don't.” CURRENOY, PARMERS, AND WORKINGMEN, It ts o vory singular fuct that tho peopls who will suffor most from the inflation are mainly re- wponsiblo for it. Congress iy about to water the curroncy in dofinncoe of an almost unnuimous oppouvition to it by the solid men and sound newspapers of the country. No man who hay any roputstion throughout the country ns a financior hus nsked for moro shinplustorn. Tho forco bohind Congross, in this matter, hns boon the forco of ignorance. Logan, honnt- ing that ho hnd learnod what he kuows nbout finance in tho spare lhours of two woecks, and Morton, sncoring ol Behurz bocauso tho lattor had actually studied tho mattor bofore sponling about it, arc fit load- ord for thowo who ery for *‘choap monoy.” It is ovident thut Amoricans must lonrn by ox- porionco tho ovils of a walered currency us they havo thoso of watorod stocas. Roughly spenk- ing, tho two classey which have apparently mout favorod inflation hnve boon tho farmers and tho lnborers. The former have advocated, in va- rious rosolutions, rotiring tho National Baulk notes and filling thoeir places with greot bocks. Cho Inttor have indorsed sll man- nor of wild-cat schemes, Boston workingmon aro rosponsiblo for tho worst. Thoy gravely suggested that ovory man ought to bhave tho right to mako onough mouey for his own use himsolf! On those two olissos, farmers and workingmen, the burdous of inflation will press with espeoinl woight. ‘Tho farmer golls Lis goods on a gold Dbasis. Tho prico at Liverpool fixes the prico in Now York uud Chicago. IIo gots tho paper equiv- alent of the gold prico in Liverpool, loss cost of tranmportation there. Whon lio uses this money, howover, to buy necessaries and com- forts, ho pnys more than tho prico in gold reckoned in paper. For the merchant must not only chinrgo this but something more. ‘Ihis somothing moroe is an insuranco against futuro dopreciation., A dollur-noto that forms purt of o fluctuating currency may be worth to- morrow b conts lous than it iy to-day, " Tho mor+ .chnnt who takes tho note must bo fusured againut this possblo loss, Bo ho must put o higher prico on his goods. ‘Ihus, if gotd Is 110, nnd o coat is worth £10 in gold, it cannot bo hought for $11 in curroncy, though thatis tho preciso oquivalent of 810 in gold. But perhaps to-morrow $11 fn noten will only bo worth §0.50 in gold, ‘The morchaut must pro- teot Liimuolf against thils possible loss by clinrg- lug $12 or 18 iu ewrroncy.

Whon gold falls, his wages aro tho flrst to do lkowlue.

Whon Phelps, Dodye & Co. wora hlackmaited, rumor ausserted thnt Bonator Conkling was ono of tho parties to tho nofarlous transnction, ho rumor was not oradited ot tho tme., It way Inown, of couruo, thattho Ronalor was largoly rouponsiblo for tho choleo corps of roguos quar- toradon the Now York Custom-Ilouse, bub it was thought that ho usod thom only to got him- #olf polltienl powor, It seomed inorodiblo that tho londor of tho Itopublican parly in tho groat Btnto of Now York should uso his ponition to Tolp binekmail prominent mombors of that parly.

It is now charged, lowdvor, that ho hind such o hopo and that ho realized it, Tho caso ngainst him stands thay : The robbors do- olared their dividond ofi June 80, 1878. On that dny, Colloctor Arthur, Naval-Officor Linfliy, aud Burvoyor Carroll pockolod 321,006 aplece, while Jayno and tho informoer Ifervo got bolwoon thom 06,718, Junt three wooly aftorwards, Lonis J.

Tho nllegod oxplanntion iu thut au ou- sogsmont wes wmado on all fivo ro- cofvers of stolon proporty to pay Conkling.

But thore have boou quito a8 mauy in which {ho strike had not evon u tom- porarily bouefieinl offect; in which, on tho con~ trary, thoy iuvolved a totul loss both to laborors and omployers. Statisticlans find it difllcult to sy whotlior thero huvo boen o grontor number of succesuful or of unsuccossful wirikes, Wo here mean, of course, immodiately any tompo- rarily successful ones ; for, in the long run, it is woll ocatablished that thoy produce ouly ovil. Ay long ago as 1834, Iarrict Mar- tinean wrote. a work on *Tho Tendoncy of Btrikes to Iroduco Low Wages."” 8tivling has shown that thoy alwuys produce two offcets, Lotk advorso to the laboring cless, viz.: an in- erenso in tho numbor of Inborory and a decroaso of capital. Tu tho grout Froston strike, which lnsted from Octobor to Decenbor, 1880, tho labor- ory, it hag boen outimated lost over $400,000, whilo the employors lost oy 8250,000. In tho Troston atrike of 1853, the Iiborors lost inwagen 1,860,000, tholr mastors 8845,000.
