WW THE ‘CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE TfiURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1874, astion waa purely o business matter, apd otio to whicl notaint of corruption attachies, There ave sevoral things in this explanntion which thomesolves need explanntion, In the first place, wo aro not aware that the news- papers, or any of them, are responsible for tho Incific Mnil investigation or for the evidenco which it clicits, Tho nowspapors are obliged to nceept this ovidenco until it is demonstralod, by n preponderanco on tho other side, td.bo false, In the next place, if tho Milwaukeo Sentinel desires the public to believo that Mr, Krva's £115,000 cnne ont of prolits mndo in stock speenlations, it will bo incumbent on the Sentinel to explain further how Mr. KiNa camo to draw hin stock divi donds through Mr. Inwiy, and what Mr. Inwry did with thoe £750,000, a largo portion of which, according to the presont ovidenco e checked out in favor of Mr. Kiva and his mysterious friend, Wo shall bo a8 glad as tho Milwaukeo Sentinel to see Mr. Kiva vindicated in this manner, but we cannot jump at unwarranted conclusions-on that fecount. ¥ REILLEY ON CGRREROY, Mr. W. D. Kerrey's opinions on anything 210 apt to be useful in tho samo way that the signs of * Dangerons " on thin ice are. They servo to keep people away, If the world were composed of Krrrrys, HEnnEnT Seny- oen's law, that every gonerally-received opin- ion bing some truth in it, would searcely hold. Its opposito would be more nenly right. W, D. K/s last luenbration is on the subject of the ewrrency. Ho has a plan, We deem it our duty to publish this plan, in oxdor that our readers may know exnctly what to avoid when thoy think out their schiemes for re- sumption. The npostlo of pig-iron says: “1 believe the rond to resumption is by incrensing the productivo powers of the couniry, by putting the steam-engines, which, with the machinery they should move, nre now rusting in idleness, into mo- tion, by giving employment to hundreds of thousnnds of laborers who are now pining and suffering in enforced idlencss, and thus onnbling them to stimulate all bronches of industry by again consuming the genoral pro. duets of tho country, ns they were wont to do when employed a$ remuncrative wages," All which, being interproted, menneth that if the whole country is more heavily taxed than it s now for the Lenefit of the iron-manu. facturers and other specinl eclasses whom W. D, K. represonts in Congross, then specie poymonts can be resumed, Thero are two or threo little objections to this scheme, In tho .first place, the couniry won't stond being taxed any moro in order to ennble s fow monopolists to in. ereass] their wealth, In the second place, no amount of taviff can bring us the per- manent prosperity which Mr, Keuiey con- siders asing qua non to rosumption, And again, if this prosperity moro than equnled his most sanguino hopes, it wonld not bring resumption. During the five years beforo tho panic, the stato of things for which he longs existed in this country, It was an era of great and constautly incressing prosperity. Yot, the month beforo the panie, tho green- baclt was lowor in value than it was five years before. During five years of manufacturing pros- perity the greenbacks lad not incrensed o particle in value, They had fluctunted up and down a thousnnd times several per cent, but on the whole had gained nothing in purehnsfng power, The theory thatif lot alone they would gradually appreciato to gold —thnt tho country would grow up to resump- tion—was thus disproven, Secretaries BovT- werz end Ricuarnsoy, from 1860 till 1873-4, preached the doctripe that, if *lat alone,” tho greonbacks would appreciate to gold value. * BourweLn now sees his error, and supports the Senata bill. But Kerntzy still sticks to the delusion, notwithstanding expe- rience has demonstrated the fallacy of his theory. 'The valuo of the greenbaclk depends upon the worth of the promiso of redemption it benrs on its face, If that promiso is vio- Inted, tho paper bearing it suffors in value whether the country is prosporous or not. If o man refuses to pay a dratt drawn on him, and thero is no mothod of making him pny, tho draft is ot o discount, whethior the drawee ig vich or poor. It will bo noticed that Kervex speaks of resumption ns a thing to bo desived. 1Ie hns Litherto taken tho side of the mad inflation. igts who wish to have gold demonetized for- over, It is gratifying to seo that he has at last mastered the first letter in the alphabet of financial sense. Ho closed his published views with the cheering statement that he would leavo the Republican party as soon as its Natiounl Convention resolved in favor of contracting tho paper currency. The'Repub- lican Sennto has already dono this, Now lot tho Convention of 1876 do its duty! And then—good-bya to Kerrzy, Tho St. Louls Democrat claima that the con- dition of affaivs in Louisfana {a better uader-. stood in the City of Bt. Louls than in most placos from tho intimacy of the jutercourse be- tween the merchants and others of tho two places, It theroforo considera that it can sponk with snthority upon cortain matter which to more romoto points mro scarcely undarstood, which claim ig perbiapa not without justification. As au illustration of thin intimacy it montions tha fact that St Louis poople lhad been warned of the autl-Kestooe revelllon, and of the de- vigus of tho Democrato to “‘get rid of niggor rulo” gome days beforo that disgracoful affair neeurred, Applying this kpowledgo to a disens- slon of the statutes of Louisizun, it doolaren that colored votery are drivon from tho polls, and that tho onlyremedy for tho ovil is a Jaw which to peoplo of freo and loyal Btatos muat of no- cengity apponr infamons, To such peopls, vo- apecting and obeying tho Constitution, it scema iutolerablo that & few men ‘should havo tho power to throw ant nltogethior the vote of nny poll,but, intolerablo as it scoms,it is,the Demoorat clunns, absolutely necassary to the existenco of negro-suftrago iu Loufsfana. * Tho nogroos, a8 & claes, are just as truly deprived of sulfrnge, if enough af them to give their opponents & ma- Jority at Any poll aro prevented from yoting, or Zforced to vota n tickst they do not profor, as it nonoe of thom wero allowed to voto,” * Unless,” continues tha Democrat, * it is provided that tho voto of any precinct where such coerolion has boon oxcorcised shall be excluded from the count, ovory Btate in the Unlen in which colored men constituto & conelderable portion of tha Ite- publican vote can be, and will he, carriod by tho Democrats, The majority will bo out-votod with rifles,” 'W'hin ls tho Democral's view of tho mat. tor, basod upon nearer noighborship and oloser examination, _— The Milwaukoo Advertiser (Republioan) fa a- Rearty opponont of Souator OAnrexTer, aod ro- minds ite readors of the Dbittor contompt ex: pressed by him for tho preas of the country, o fecling ha shared with Bix Burnen {n a degroa quite remarhiablo, The Adverllser polnts to Durra:n's fate as that of al) puch political londora rho dofy tho volco of the psople, ‘The Milwau- Koo Szntinel tho athor day published n list of lte- publicsn fournals which supported Mr, Canees- aan's olaims for ro-oloctlon, 'he Advarliser publishoes & List of thase which opposo him, which - will b found somowhat mors lmpoxtant than s tieally boundless usitelly supposod.
