Thomas [I. Bouton saidin1831: “If I wera going 1o otablish a workiogmau's party, it sliontd be ou the basia of hard mon mouey parly sgainst a paper party. Paper- monoy bauks tend to aggravate the inequality of fortuues, to make tho rich richer and the poor poorer, to multiply uabobs and paupera.

His Grace raplied by a furious cpiatle, asking how sho dared jrun the risk of introducing Infection inta Apaley House by using » sheot of presumably infected note-paper. Av abject oxproesion of regret at hor indivcro- tion was ot once sout by the ladr, togather with o honeyed roquost that the Duke would causo all the windows of his house to be at once perma~ nently closed, asshe (tlo lady) was roing todrive about London, and might waft infection through tho park or the streels to the Ducal roaidenco. Lady D—a is thought ta have Liad the best of it. Thero is no mistaking the animus of the Inde- pendent's comments on the result tn Tilton va. Beechior, sys the Bpriogtield Republican. In- deod, Mr. Bowon's attitude toward Lis pastor has Doen curiously auggostive, all along, of thae little seriptural episode of Joab and Amasa, ‘*‘Art thou in Liealth, my brother ?” said Joab, aud took Amasa by the beard to kiss him—quito in the spproved Plymouth fagbion. Directly after- ward, Amasa was writhing on the ground, with affectionate Brother Joab's eword i his ribs, Thero {s one notable difforonce botween the two cases, howover. The sacrod narrative mentions that Amnss, during the kieeing performance, “took no Lieed to the eword that was ln Joab's hand.” Thoro is & gonoral impression that Mr. Beecher Lias taken very watchful head, from tho first, to tho weapon—whatever it may bo—iu AMr. Bowen's hand.

He cane upon the invitstion of neither political party, but to addrces & coterie of iron manufscturors who are in distress, and looking for s way out of their troubles. The jesders of this little sot, which includes men of both po- litical parties, are stockholders of the Valley Liolling Mill, a large rail mill built some yoars g0, and which collapsed during the dull winter of 1873, Theso fron men are inclined to faver inflation, because they want, s they say, anothar whirl to enablo them to sall their nuil and get in out of the wet bofore soothor financial crash comes. Judge Kelloy is & high-tariff Republie- au, but in this apeech he ropresents no oue but himeelf, He spoke sn hour and a half, in sub- stauce as follows: Ho wam not there in the interost of any organ or party; tho guestion of finance was not one of nationsl but of world- wido importance. ie woald not detsin them with the theories of Hume, Ricordo, and other writ- ors ; thoy could get thom from tho organ of the Bullionists, who sdhered to theory and ignored oxporience and tho facts of current history. Our history and the bistory of the world either con- tradict or corroborate his theory. He would call sttention to three epochs, oxtanding over the last thirty yoars, and within the memory of tho majority of those prosont, The firstdecads, vreceding tho fssuo of grecnbacks, waw ono of froe firade and bard money. The protective tariff of 1842 bad been ropealod in 1816, The low rate of reveune then eatablished had been farther reduced by tho tariff of 1857. During this period tho Gov- ornmont received and paid nothing but specio, and tho people deluded themselves with tho idea that their currency was bLasod on gold. This epoch would, therefors, tost tho result of free trado and bard money. Was it productive of & happy result for the peoplo? It waa a time of porfect pesce, and the publis revonuo did not equal tho public expenditures, sud, under the administration of the Domocratic party, we incurred = debt of ©00,000,000, snd tho publia credit was sunk so low that, whon Hecrotary Cobb weut into‘tho markots of the world to borrow 35,000,000 on what wo now call grooubacks, viz,, Trossury motes, at 1 por cout por month, he could obtain but half tho rum. It was clearly not a prosporous period for the Gov- ornment, sud how was it for $he poopla? The uso of iron por capita is said to bo the beat test of the clvilization of a people, and s one that the geoplo of the Malioniug Valloy will sccept; snd what do statlatics toll us of tho iron-trade during this time? The iron produced in 1854 was 716,674 tons ; in 1865, 754,178 tons ; iu 1841, 781,069 tons; in 1862, 787,002 tous; ehowiug an incroass iu the tirst and last two yei 10 Lsve besu 47,000 tous, lu tho United Btates wages decreasod aud employment becamo more searce, and 1857 tho delusion that tbo currenoy was based on specie was exploded by the failure of theObioTrust Company sud Pennsylvania banks, followod by ~ tho rest of this bank- ibg institutions Twithin & weok. Not ouly were waged low aud employmont soarca, bus it became impousible to obtain employwont. Emi- grauty flod from the country by hundrods of thoussudy, and tho (arms sud workshops of the country wers under wostgnge, and tho people {ulo except the Bheriff and the priutur of Lie ad- vertisonignts. Judyo Keltoy then calied attention to the next decadu, 'I'bis'was charocterized by the seces- sion of filtaen of the most fertile Hlatos, many of which are rich in mineral devolopment; in this mout deternived civil war in bistory, Cer- tamly not s promismg outlook for pros- pority. To obtsin bullion was impossible, and tho Uoveroment dotormined, in the Isoguago of the day, to feauo au irrodeema- blo curroncy to ba kuown 88 grooubacks. The ivaue of §50,000,000 wore convertible into Gov. ornwment bouds at tho option of tho holder, sud it this system had continued our currency would be the samo a3 the irredoemable mouey of Fiauce, which haa never been at 4 por cout dls- count. It waa tho ropudiation of wur own paper monoy that mado the gold preminm sud wads the War cost threo to four thucs 88 much s it otherwiss would bavo dona. When greenbacks wero iwsuod tho farms of the country woro moarly all undor mortgaga ; the working people Liad been rubbed of their homes by enforced tdloncss snd low rates of wagos. Withthe coming of green« backa and the domands of the Uoverument there was work for averybody suat could aud would work. Our own country could mot fill our workshiops, and an uoparsieled tide of emi- gration set o, A fast a8 they came, there was amployment for all at steadily fucrewdod wagos. ‘fho development of the irou trade was in romarkable ocontrast with the previous docude, whioch ~was, iu 1863, 037,862 tons § in 1872, 54,658 tous. Vavinoutd were all cash ; bauky had no paper to discouut ; farimu and workshops woro fres from morlgage. I'he revonue of the Governwent was amply suf- ficicut, sud 1t was & conmant complaint that the Seoretary of the Troasury would kesp $100,000,- Wfifiuid lying idle in the vaults, Tho Judge thon procecded to examine what his calied tha tragio farce of resumption by cone traciion. He ssked the workingmen if they were all ewploved. They suswered “No Have you wsufferod & roduction of wages? Yea! From oue-third to une-half, and many of you are idle, and this is the condi- tion of tiio workiny ciassos geuerally, Buclhinery stands idle, sud water-powor rund to waite, but the futercst on mortgageastill goes ou. Forges, furnaccs, rolling-miils, inincs, avd other property aro deatined, before auother year, to pass into the Bhonffe' hands. Tue Judge thou considered the cause of the depionslon, snd found it in the rapid coulraction of the ourrency. At the close of the War the Government could uno louger be wa great a purchaser of supplies, but the relurn uf 4,000,000 of the hnu{ to avil employment would soon have roanfinated esoh brauch of bumueus, and the trus policy of the Governmeut wau t0 sustain exiuting valuos, keep the voluwo of the currency unaltered, and pay the luterest on the nations! debt du_tho sama mobey it touk from thoe tax-payers.
