It tho opinions of Senators are given orally, savoral days will be consumed in this manner, but if tho opinions are allowed to bo written and filed, o conclusion will bo reached in much shorter timo. It will be an interesting and instructive 1esson in politics to sce and hear Mr, Trosas Hovxe and Mr. Winntan ¥, Coorbavom, ns Presidential eloctors, urging the poopla of Tllinois to voto for TrLpex for Presidont be- causs ho 15 in favor of hard monoy and specie resumption ; to vote for Tlexpnioks because ha is opposed to resumption ; and to vote for Stewanp for Governor becauso he stands on the Decatur platform in favor of the un. limited issue of groenbacks, interconvertible into 8,66 bonds, paynblo in greenbacks. Theso gentlemen may have had some oxperi- enco in riding two horses ot ons time, ecach horse going in a different direction, bat the throo-horse act will be o novelty, and its suc- cossful performance will add to the fame of theso veteran Democratio riders, Their en- thusissm for Srewanp and Groenbacks is only cqualed by their zeal for Tipen and Reform, excopt, possibly, by thoir earncst dovotion to Hxxpricks and no resumption of spocie payments, The promise of new acts and feats of daring in tho Domoaratio circas is thrilling. 3Ir, Coonnavan was preferred to Judge TnuMbuLL as an elector, that Lo might take charge of the Srewanp-Decatur platform.

Concessions by the Bonate of all the pointa of difference, axcopting those involv- ing chonges in the Inw, which shonld have no place in an _approprintion Lill, have been in vain, tho House conferces insisting on their poliey of coercion. From the tonae of tho discussion yesterday it is evident that tho pntienco of the Senate is noarly exhaust- ed, nnd that it has alrosdy resched a point \whore further concession will not be yiclded. Wo publish this morning a dispatch from | Col. A. O. Marrnews, Bupervisor of Internal i Revenue, o Attornoy-Genoral Tavr, char- acterizing o8 nn infamous lio tho statement vin o Washington dispatch to the Inter-Ocean that ho had attemptod to implicate innocent «parties in tho Chicago whisky-frauds, Tho ! opinion so forcibly expressed by the Ia- mentod Gen. WensTER concerning the organ of tho rovenuc-thieves and ring-politicians +in his letter to BLurorp Wrwsoy, is undoubt- mdly shared by Col. MarTnews, The cfforts of the Common Council to economizo in the matter of gas will bo mate- riatly assisted by the willingness of the West Sido Gas Company that the size of tho streot- 1nmp burners shall be redncod, and, better still, thoe voluntary proposal of the Company to reduce tho prico of gas 60 cents per 1,000 feot. The South 8ide Company can do no less than make tho snmo offor, so that, with the reduction in the size of the burnors and in tho prico of gas, the problem of retrench- ment in this direotion will be ono easy of solntion, THE DEMOCRATIO STATE TICKET, In the historyof politics, there has not boon a greater mbortion than that of the ‘Democratio Stato Convention of Illinois. ‘For the display of unmitigated stupidity and in. vincible ignorance this Convention far ox- coedod any of its predecesors. The Demo- cratio porty of Illinois was onco a strong and powerful orgonization. It eontained within it & host of brilhant orators, able jurists, and men distinguished for their abili- tios and attainments, Nearly forty-five yoars 8go, tho party first assumoed a compact or~ ganization, held its first Convention, and mado its first State nominations. It never muffered defent on a full State ticket until 1860. During nll that timo it wasled by men of ability and character. The defeat disintograted tho party ; it broko into frag. monts ; potty leaders sprung up in all parts of tho Btate; wisdom, intelligence, prin. elple, and patriotism wore all dis. carded, aud the lowest domogogism controlled. Littlo Josm Anrexy became aleader in tho party ; Jist Avrex bocamo a leader on the Indiana line; Gon. BrxorrToN bocame o Gaxarzen; and every distriot and overy counly had n now apostle tench. ing a new gospel, and all assuming that the naarer a man could got to being a traitor the unearer bo was to pure Democrsoy, Under tho combiued guidance of theso now lights it has not been wonderful that tho Republic- an majority in the State, which in 1860 hard- ly excooded 5,000, has gone on increasing until, in 1872, it reached 48,000, "Tho Con- vontion on Thursday, as if possessed of the pirit of destruction, evidently determined that the Republican majority in Minois in 1876 shall far excoed oven that of 1872, The Domocratic party of the State of Ili. nols, which is capablo, perhaps, of pulling 225,000 votes, mot in full Convention, nnd at the domand of a bogus organization, with- out strength, power, organization, principles, or constituents, laid down, bdicated, sur- rendered, and formally submitted to the die-~ tatlon of half o dozon deslors in lunatic demagogism, and nominated the Greenback candidate, BrEwanp, of Kendall, for Govorn- or of the Btate of Iilincls. The Demo. cratlo party Las done many extraordinary things, stupid and oven criminal, but for unparalleled idlocy this nct surpnsses all its predecossors. Wo havo in this city o dozen organizations,—the Horse-Shoors’ Uniou, the Stone-Cuttera'Socloty,tho Communists'Circle, the United Orispins, and the Carpet-Shakers' combination,—and cithor of theso organiza- tions cov, as a third party, poll as many of tho 70,000 votes of Cook County as can the orgsnization to which the Democratio party of inols surrendered at Springfield on Thursday, ' Of all the frouds attemptod in politica this Docatur Greonback party is tho most-absurd. "Tho handful of manngen: bave boen trying o soll what they represent as 756,000 votes, ‘They represent that thoy have 40,000 Demo- crats and 85,000 Republicans, and that those Domocrats and Republicans are willing to bo transferred na so many live stock to tho highost bidder. In the first place, at thiy election of 1876 thers will not bea Republican who will vote for Tizpin nor a Democrat who will vote for Iiaves, oxcept for some other reason than the bargain and sale which was mado at Bpringflold, If this third party, the Decatur Greenbaokors, have any substance or constituents at all, the Re- publicans who belong to it da so because they beliove in the policy of more green- backs; it is becauso they belicve so that thoy array themselvea in apposition to Hayes In a four-column lotter to Alr. Oswarp Orrexponeen, published in the Now York Staats-Zeitung, Cany Scirunz has stated tho grounds upon which the members of tho Liberal Conferenco of last May baso their indorsoment and support of the Oincinnati nominees, Tho reasons given by Xr. Sonunz for hig choice of ITaves and WareLen clearly explain why tho Liberals of 1872 and the irdependent voters of 1870 nre almost to o man found onco more acting with the Re- publican party. Some of the more eignifi- cant and important passages of the letter aro given elsowhere in this morning’s issue. A full report of the testimony of Bruronn Wison, given yesterday beforo tho House Comitteo investigating the whisky fraud prosecutions, is furnishod in our dispatches this morning. It forms an interesting chapter of tho hitherto unpublished history of tho campnign agoinst the rovenue thioves, and ils publieation "only confirms the impression long and reluctantly entortained that bad and corrnpt mon were permitted to retain and botray tho confidence and friendship of the Presidont, and to hin. der and thwart tho efforts of Secrotary Bnis. mow and his associates in tho Trensury De- partment to protect the intorosis of the QGovernment and punish tho whisky-thioves, Senator LocaN continues to press for no- tion on his pet monsure for the eqnalization of bountics, and announces his intention to ‘urgo its consideration and pnssage in scason oand out of scason. Nobody has yot been ablo to figuro out oven approximately the amount required to carry out tho provisions of this bill, the estimates varying from {120,000 to §160,000, with tho probabilitica largely in favor of tho lost-named sum. The ill ought not to pass, even though its pas- sago should socute for tho country the ser- vices of Gen, Loaay for another torm in the United Btatos Benate, ‘That gentloman’s 08t ardent admirers would hardly rate his “ervicea so highly, ——n The Democrats acoepted Joun Mg, the Groonback candidate for State Auditor, be- cwuso he resides in Obicago, It was sup. posed that Chioago was anxious to have an Auditor who would protect this city in the matter of taxation and thereby neutralize tho efforts of the Btate Board of Equaliza. tlon. It bias been argued by some that if the Auditor's offico was put in the hands of Chi- cago men tho distribution of State taxes be- tween this city and thorest of tha State viould be very different from what it has Loen, ond less of tho State tax would have to Le paid by tho property in thls city. Yor tis renson Hise was wecrolly supported by the Clicsgo delegation. Unfortunotely, Lowever, the ‘Auditor hns to be elocted by t’ho poople of the whole State, and the special reason for having tho Auditor’s office in the hands of @ Chicago man, to be worked in the imxterests of Chicago, will hardly ‘recormmond him to tho Grangors aud the people general- 351 in tho other parts of the State. | The Chicugo produce markets were geser- iy firn yesterday, wnd moderately active, tough brrogular, Meso pork closed 200 | tho Democrats imagiue that theso men will Ryo was. and Wuxzres and tho Repablican party.

The Ropublicans in tho Greonback parly oppose laves and Wirezrsn and Currow, not becanse thoso candidates aro unsatisfactory personally or a8 Republicans; the aim and end songht is moro greenbacks, the abandoument of a coin basis, and the perpetuntion of paper monoy at a8 low a standard as possible. When thess Repnblicans joined tho third party it wns, as then stated, a3 a protost againat therefnsal by both the Domoeratic and Republican partics to adopt the greenback policy. They nominated candidates for State offices on n rdical greonbnck platform,—tha isano of greonbacks redoemablo in 3,65 bonds, ~—that monay might bo plenty andobtainable at alow rato of jutorest. Now theso candi- dates lavo nbandoned the groenback plat- form and policy nnd accepted nominations on the ticket with Tmuoey, and in favor of immedinte resumption of specie payments, and tho retiremont of paper money and tho re-estnblishment of the gold standard.

How many Republicans in Illinois are there who will under any circumstances vote for StewAnp and his nssociates, who, repudinting the Decatur platform and the Greenback party, aro now candidates ‘* adopting, indors- ing, and reaffirming” the Demoeratic hard- money platform? If thesa Republicans nre to abundon their Greonback party, thoy will naturally, and with proper indignation agafnst the frand perpetrated on ;fiwm, vota for Hareaand Warerrn and Contpu. If they must vote for hard-money candidates, they will not stultify their Republicanism by vot- ing for Titoey and Brewanp, Tho Groenback party in all the State of Tl- lingis nning as a third party, would not have voted all told 20,000 votes. The man- *pgers of that party know this, and know they conld mako no serions inronds upon the Re- publicans, . The fow Republicans who had proposed to throw away their votes for Cooren and Stewarp will now have no difil. culty in discovering the fraud into which ‘they wero entrapped at Decatur, and which is now confessed nt Springfield, The Democracy are in the pitinble state of those rural viotims of the familiar confl. dence-game, They have advanced their monoy on the bogua check, aud have nothing left.

DRICKS, » THE CHICAGO WHISKY OABES, ‘Wo fear that Mr, Bronns will damage the intorcats of his clients, to secaro whoso re- lense from jail ho wont to Washington, it lio endeavors to accomplish this by secking to defamo ex-Secrotary Bristow and ex-So- licitor of the Treasury Wirsox, who were the chief ngents in the destruction of the Whisky Ring here and elsowhers, Alr, Brones has a happy . faculty of identifying himself complotely with any case he under- tokes, and in defonding certain clients in the crooked whisky business he doveloped a strong hostility to Bristow and Wirsox, which he freely ventilated whenover occasion offered ; but wo do not sce how a pursuit of this hostility now will help to eccure the pardon of any of those who confessed their guilty conncotion with tho Ring, or who wera convicted of frauds upon trial, 1In- doad, wo should think such a course would projudico the applications, and thero is dan. ger that thoso particularly who furnish state- ments in support of the ridiculous theory that Brisrow aud WizsoN wanted to convict innocont men may be caught in o trap of their own setting. Mr. Waup, for instance, is reported ns saying openly in Washington a few days ago that, when ho was District-Attornoy here, ho was instructed to indict Loaaw, FanweLy, Paraeen, and Hasr,—tho two lattor editors of tho Inter-Ocean, If Mr, Wanp said this, ho hiad probably forgotton that he hnd onco ex- plieitly denied it. Last Docomber, when Mr, Faiwerr's name was occasionally mon- tionod in connection with the Whisky Ring, lie gave s statemont to n correspondent of e Trivowe, in Washington, fu which he said that he had onco endeavored to have ‘Wirsoy removed, and that Wizson cherished an animosity against him on this ageount, and had instructed Wanp to have him (FanweLr) indictod, saying that evidence agaiust him could bo got afterwards. Mr, FAnwery gave ‘Wax as his authority for this statement, and roquosted that it be shown to Wanp beforo publishing it. ‘The statoment was submitted to Mr.'Wanp, aud when it was published tho following stalement of Ar. Wanp'a was published along with it: Mr, Wanp sald the statements made concerning Nimselt and Bruronn WiLsoX wero neithor exactly true nor false; they had o eenmiblance of teuth, When tho whisky troublos bogan to arles, and when Mr, FanweLt's name was associated with thioso troubles, he would frequontly meet Mr. ‘Wann ot hls ofilce, and the two would talk the matter over. Mr, Waunon ono occasion remem - bered muking a Juking remark somowhat liko tho followlng: **Well, Cuanrxy, they'ro bringing a good deal of pressure to bear on your caso, Guess they'll fadlct you." Mr. Fanwsii replled, **What in tho dovil will they do that for? they haven't got anythiogagainstue,** Mr, Waun then remarked in thusame jocose aud confidential tone, **Oh, that's nowsiter, Cuaney, We'll iudictyou frat, and get the teatimouy afterwards.” And so tho conversu. tion ended, Ar. Wakn supposiag it was all eatisfuctory, ond that Br, FanwsLl was conviuced " that lle remarks were to be taken in & joking, friondly sort of a way. It scemy, howover, Mz, WanD thinks, that Mr, Fan. WELL put & wrong conatruction on the watter, an thoughit Wanp meant by the word **they® Bru- voun WitsoN in varticular. Having Incurred, ns Mr. FanrweLL says, **the deadly camity of sald WiLsox, " it was natural for bim to suppose that ‘Witsox would take advantagu of any opportunity to gratify thls fll-feeltug, und thia conulderu- tion onlyserved to strepgiien the idea that Witsox wes working to nave Wim (Fauweiy) fudicted, Whereas, says Mr, Wanp, Witeox twaa merely working for the Indictmonts of pariles ngalnat whom thare was probable tause, and Mr. Wano farther atates that Wirsox alluded io anch parifen fn o genceal way, not singling ont Me. FARWELL Ly name, and nevor exprensing oven tho slightost feellng townrda Mr. Fanwert. Now if Mr. Wanp has been circulating the old story ngain in Washingtou, he has pinced himsolf in this position: Firat ho told it to Mr, FARwELL, than he daonied having told it, and now ho rotails it again. Mr, Wanp can scarcely expoot to command any confidonoe in the story after thisseries of contradictions. ITo himsolf made a very lucky escape. Io got off without a trinl after having beon in- dictod, and he nover insisted upon a trial in ordor to vidicato himself, He. will do well {o hold aloof from all further complications ou nccount of crooked whisky, either by gossip or olherwisa; and Mr, 8tonns will not do anybody o favor whoin he draws into tho effort to mako it appear that BrisTow nnd WissoN were trying to convict innocent mon, ‘A LEPROUS LEAGUE" Those who road it all, remember how Ol Sronky talked about TrLpeN nnd LrNpnioxs both before and after their nqmination ; how ho blackguanded, and scolded, and hurled his favorite inveetives at their heads. Thoy'all observed that in n few days ho changed his tono to ono of guarded eucominm aund con- ditional support, and from that progressed to ardent ndvocncy and snpport with an, **if andn “but,” e is now fensting on crow, and ewenrs that he always lked it ! The Confederntes met in Convention in Springfield and nominnted a tickot, part crow and part buzzard; they indorsed the lard-monoy-resumption platform ndopted at St. Louis by tho samo party in National Con- vention, and then they nominated tho can- didates of the shinplaster-inflationists for Governor and alsofor Auditor, both of whom apit upon the 8t. Louis platform, upon thosa who framed it, and upon TiLpey, the Con- federnte nomince for President! ‘This disgraceful and ontrageous stallifica- tion kindles tho wrath of tho old hard-shell editor of tho Zimee, and he gives vent to his impotent rage, and tears his vencrablo hair 1n this dresdful manner: A LEPOUS LEAGUE. Democratic demoralization neverachleved a more stupendous triumph than the work of yesterdsy at Springfleld. 1If the creatures who cartled on the farce of.a Convention had been sent by tho votes snd worked by the behesta of tho Republican man- ngers, they could nut have more camplotaly dono the thing which makes the Republican calling safa and the election aure. ‘When men who have been for years under the teachings of such adversity ns public distrust, con. totnpt, and loathing imply, deliberntely bring themselvesto the perpetration of such mingled criminality and folly os that done ot Springfiold, there is but one thing loft for right-thinking peo- ple to do—bold their noses and pass on. With such n lesson as tho St. Louls Conventlon bofore them, it was not expeeting too much of the foliy- . fed fools who have wondered and stroyed Nke lost sheop for years to make an attompt at least to rid thomeelves of thoir malodorous past by purging themaclves from the evila of tho present.

Asasample of his fanatical in. cendiarism, uttered nt o time whon the Mayor of the city found it nocessary to take com. mand of the police and hold them in rendi- ness to suppress o riot, we tako the follow. ing extract from his apeoch : ‘Phere nro thonsands of workingmen already In tho country who were uuable to find employment, Manufacturorsand business men who usually em- ply labor aro themaclve using up thelr former ac- cumulations, They caunot give you employment if they would, The couscs which have brought those calamitics upon you are plain, and it needed no gift of prophecy to have forotold them, The contractlon of the currency, the enormous taxa- tion, the Resumptlion act, the demonctizing of sllver, in short, the wholo legislation of tho coun- try, have brought forth thelr legitimate frults, The resumption of speclo paymonts s in {tselt fmpoesible, oud to attempt It means universal ‘bankruptcy of business men snd starvation to the working clasdes, Now, not too put too fluo a point upon it, wo foar that Oany deliberately and willfully misstated tho case for selfish and partisan considorations, At all events, not a singlo one of tho causos Lio cites ns responsible for tho panio had anytlung to do withit. We will take thom in the order ho has enumerated them. 1. It could not have been contraction of the curroncy, because thero was no contrac- tion of the curroncy in 1873, when the panio occurred, from which all our bardships aro doted. ‘There Liad never boen o wuch ocur- ronoy, including greenbacks und National Bank notos, as thero was then, and it had not had so large a purchasiug power for years, it being neavor par with gold than boforo or since, Austria had a panic in 1871, though there had beon a constant expansion (instead of contraction) of currency snd all sorts of crodits, evor since its war of 1800, In 1872 thepanié reached Gormany,thougha thousand millions of money had just been poured into that country from ¥rance. In 1878 it struck the United States, where thore had been ex- pansion ever sinco our War of tho Rebellion, In 1874 and 1876 it crusspd into England, though England had as many bank notes as everand moro gold and silver. And now the bard times extend over tho entiro civilizZed world oxcopt France, and the cseape of the Franch people is owing to their conservative cash system of doing busi- noag, and their abstinence from speculations and all strotehing of credits, Bo tho con- traction of the cmrrency (thero having boon 1o contraction at the time) had no more to do with the Ameriean panio than it had with the Austrian, English, and Gorman panics, 2, As to enormous taxation, this was meroly & part of tho goneral systom of ox- pansion and rapid growth, whother in the National Qovernment, the State Govern. ments, or Municipal Governments, Besidos, tho National Government and most of the local Govornments have been engaged in ourtailing expensca and reducing taxation ever since the panie. 8. It could not have hoen the Resumption aot, which Mr. Oany includes among his causos, for the Resumption act was not pnasod until 1875, or nearly two yoars nfter tho panic actually ocourred. As a matter of faot, the quostion of resuming did not as- sumo the consplotons place it now ocouplos until it had gained o prominence throngh this very ponioc which Mr. Oanr says it caused, 4, It could not Lavo been tho demonetizo- tlon of silver, since nilver had beon practi- cally domonotized for ten or twelve years, and formed no part of the ciroulating o~ diurg of tho conntry, Indood, the fact was searcoly known that in 1878 tho Cdinago nct deprived the silver dollar of its qunlity ss legal-tender for any amount, and cortainly no significance was attached to it until within o fow months, when the decline in the value of silver presented an opportunity for restor- ing it to the currency of tho coumtry. So, wa prosume, all the other causes of the hard times which Mr. Oanx included uuder the goneralization of ‘‘the whole legislation of tho country " might be disposed of if ho had enumorated them, ‘I'ho simplo fact is that the American pan- ics, like nll other punics, was tho rosult of a reckloss expansion of crodits, incidental to which was an exsggeration of prices, over- confldence, unprofitable investments, too rapid growth, promature development, and spoculation of all kinds. Wa hLad lived too fast on borrowed means. Wo had discounted the futuro without proparing to meot our poper. Wo had invested in railronds which could not be made to pay. Wa had strained confidonce to the very ulmost, and then the collopso came, In all this, which is the very oppasite of Mr, Uanx's theory, our experi- enco is not essentinlly difforent from that of others that have suffored finoncinl distross, and tho. penslty we aro poying is only tho groaier whero our folly has been the more unrestrained. ‘T'ho Tecovery mnabneuamnr.fly bo a slow procoss, It will not come until those too hoeavilyin debt shall have sottled with their creditors. Itis a process of general liquidation, and whon tha balances shall havebeen adjusted by pay- mout or compromiss, there will bo a fresh start; confidence will bo gradually restored ; prices will slowly advaneo; speculation will be moro carefully resumed ; and at lnst wo mny again slip into the old system of an ex- pansion of orodits, which will again be fol- lowed by another panic and adjustment. Ponding this genoral sottloment, neither the ery of *“ bread or blood,” nor the abanrd de- mand for moro currency, will hurry up mat- ters. There is wmoro idlo currency in the conntry now than at any previous timo in our history, and the rates of interest aro lower than thoy ever woro bofore in this country, To tho extent that the banks have retired thoir cirenlating notesthey have incroasod the volumo of loanable funds; for, instead of $90 which thoy hnd to'loan on' evory 8120 invest. ed in $100 of bonds depositod with the Gov- ornmont, they have sold the bonds and now lavo the full $120, or 25 por cent more, to loan to tho people. 'The trouble is, ths peo- plo do not wanut to borrow, notwitstanding tho low rato of interest, nor to invest, not. withstanding the low prices that rule, Why should o mauufacturer borrow or invost for tho incrense of his buainess, or the starting of anew business, when he cannot sell his gooda? Why should a builder borrow to ereot houses whon ho cannot rent them? ‘Why should a merchant borrow to incronse a stock that ho cannot disposo of? And finally, when thero {8 50 much unemployed monoy in the country which the peopla will not use, why should there bo more curroncy issued, and what good would it do unless to destroy tho value uf that already outstand. ing? All we can do is to wait till things set- tle down to the ‘‘hard-pan,” and nssist tho sottlement as much as posaible, BILVER IN ENGLAND, Tho London Z%mes of July 13 has an in- terosting though desultory articlo on the sil- ver question, It finds it ensy to be calm about the depreciation of that metal, as it producos no effect in England, save reducing the cost of- tho material of the silversmiths. But in India tho situation is sorious enough, The immense rovenucs of the Government from the Indian Ryots are payabls in silver, and already there is a deflclency of more than 16,000,000, Tho cost of the Indian Govornment must scon bo correspond- ingly incrensed, and the Indian ex. choquer will suffer tho extremo embarrass. ment of meoting * increasing charges with a stationary income. A similar diffioul- ty occurrod in Europo after tho discovery of gold nnd silver mines in Ameorles, and be- tweed 1550 and 1650 England was convnlsed by political dificultios thint had their origin in a depreciation of gold and silver. The revonue of Cmantes L, like that of the In. dian Ffnanco Minister, was stationary, but bhis expenses could not be reduced to meat tho depreciation, o had to have more monoy; le tried, luckily for English froe- dom, to got it without the help of Paxlia- mont, and laid down his head at Whitehall, As Dissaxul puts it, the King was the holo- caust of direct toxation. 'The robollion of the North in the time of Erizinera sprang from the discontent of a mnobility impover- ished by the diminished value of their ronts and the inoronsed exaction of Government. Thae Times gives no hint that it feors re- bollion or revolution in India. In the present situation, tho only one to re- bel is the Indian Government. Tho poople profit by having their rents and taxes choap- oned. . 'This gain to the poople, however, is loss to the Government, and the Z'mes sees noyeasonwhy tho British Governmont should shoulder aloas which it has the power to shift overto the shoulders of the Ryots, the land-ocoupants of India, It is opposed to demonstization of silver in India. That would be very troublesome, It favors the iproposal to make tho vents, which form tho Indian revenuo, payabls in gold instead of sliver, The payment of course would bo made in silver, which must con- tinue tho currency of the country, but they would be on o gold basis, Thus a Ryot whose annual rent is 50 rupees of silver would be roquired to pay as much moro as wonld be necessary to make good tho gold value of 50 rupees beforo silver began to dopreciato. Any littlo objection the Ryot might minke to this arrangoment, on the ground thnt Iin conteact with the Govern. ment said nothing about gold values, would not receive muck nttontion, The Zémessnys: 1t {8 truo tiaat fhero wonld lo a variation in what may bo called n contract, but its torms would be varisd in ordor that ita snb- stanco might be preserved unnltored.” It is a trifle nmuuing to rond in anothor paragraph of the sanie nrticle that tho silver standard ought not to bo introduced .into England, bocauso * tho duty of the Legisla- tura is to maintain tho burdon of obligations, nn far ng possible, unchangoed, and not to alter them, whether debiors or creditors would gain by the altermtion.” The unfor- tunato Ryot canuot reand English, If ho conld, he might nsk tho Z'%mes somo tron- blesome questions, Tho ignorant ereature would as likely ns mot fail to men how it could be right to chango the burden of his obligation from silver to gold, it it was wrong to cliange an En- glishman's obligation from gold to silver. Tho Z2'imes, ns tho sentonce we have quoted shows, {8 opposod to the double standard of gold and slver, so vigoronsly advoeated by MM Cenyusons, of France, and LAVELRYE, of Bolgium. They propose that 15} ounces of silver shll averywhoro be nccopted as the equivalent of one ounce of gold, 'Tho Zimes objoots that, as a matter of fact, it now takes 10} ounces of silver to buy an vuncoof gold, and that, if tho double standard wers adopted, tho burdon of national debts would be inequitably diminished, and all private dobts reduced, from 39 to 81, or mora them 20 per cent. In all its calculations tho Z%¥mea omits onoe very important factor, the pro- posed rewonetization of silver by tho United States. Ono of the first offots of this would bo to bring silver and gold much nearer their formor relutive valuo than thoy now stahd. Silver would rally in price immediately and matorially. S0ME MORE ST.

But superaddod to all this is the trylng pro- cess of recovering from the destruotion of the ocity by fire five years ago, which Ims since boon rebuilt, and- enlarged and im. proved in overy way. At tho samo time, Chicago is inhibited by constitutional pro- vision from incronsing the municipal debt, and forced to the excellent rule of paying ns she goas, Inthis the city hiaa beun fupthor lampored by the effort to collect its rovenues under a dofective Inw which has sinca boen set nside by the Ogqurts. Now, to meot all theao embarrassmenta bravely and honestly, Chicago has just passod an ordinanco which will savo §2,000,000 of thoe -current year's appropriations, andapply it on the temporary indebtedness inourred by resson of the failuro to colleet n part of the taxes, For this tho 8t, Louis Republican indulges in the abuse we havo quoted.
