BAVING TWO PER CERT INTEREST. “The Washington correspondent of Tae Ontcaco Tamune has hind & convorsation wit Mr, Hewrrr, the New York Congress- 1080, in the course of which the latter ap. proved of Prosident Haves’ position on silver remonetization, aud expressed himself as follows ¢ Why, my dear sir, it Isn't a question of legality, No oue quese payment, bai just look at It Capltalists stand. ready (o takeour boude at 4 per cont, if we will pay them in gold, while it we make thom payable in wilvor thoy want 6 or @ perceait. Bhall we not save this diferenco to the tazpayors? I am not, nor §s the Demecratic party, working for the bond- lolder, Lut for the people, and, if the bondholder 1v collaterully hielpod, o ls 10 bo congratulates, but that 1s ot vur object. It s not a question uf the Government's right to pay In sliver, it ivn question of expediency} and it ls perfectly plaln to e that, §f 1t costs ue lcax to pay in gold than in allver, 1t {s onr duty to pay In gold, This is virtually the chist roason assigned by tho Presidont in bis messago for opposing remonetization, It ssoms to be accepted as o atatemont of faot by thoso who are in doubi on the subject, and is certainly used by thoss who favor the bondholders and ocapitalists as A specious argument to convince the people that money in large ninounts oau be saved in interest by re. fusing to rownonetize siiver, but not other- wise, Thgro' are outstanding $720,000,000 of bouds bearing 6 per cent interest and $708,000,000 of bonds bearing 5 per cont in- terest. By reducing both clasaes to 4 per cent bonds, there would be au annusl saving of $21,660.000 in interest. The President and AMr, Hzwirr say this can be done on an ex. clusive gold basis, but not after tho remone~ tization of silver. Whether or not it can be dong a} all is n matter of more or less specu- lation. It is certain that the refunding came to a standstill a couplo of months 880, beforo the meeting of Congress, and before the remonetization scheme had taken & definite shape. Bat, if refunding ut 4 per oont is possible at all, it is as easy on & silver bonds may be paid in silver. says this onght nof, to bein the case of bonds issued since 1873, wion siiver was demonetized, but thers is no question as to the striot legality of the procedure. has never beon o promise to pay in gold alone. All the acts of Oongress designed to strongthen the nationnl credit or nuthorizing the i{ssue of bonds have nused the word coin,—not gold,—nand the specific act under which all the refunding bonds were fssued stipulato that they shall be payable in coln of the standard valune of July 14, 1870, which included both gold and silver. cipal and interest of outstanding bLonds may lawfully be pald in either gold or silver, This being the case, the refunding scheme may procoed on n silver basis as wellasn gold basis, If gold alone is tho standard, the Government offers gold, or gold bonds at 4 por cent, in exchange for the old bonds; if silver be romonetized and the Government vestment, basis as on a gold basls, and probably it will prove to be easior because of the greater abundance of silver ond the natural desire there will bo to maka it profitable. Mr. Hxwrrr admits that the outstanding The Prosident There The prin- call in any of tho outstanding 6 por cents, it way offer silver, or silver bonds at 4 per cent, in exchango; if tho holders of tho old bonds called in do not desire to tako thelr money they will take the new bonds at the new rate, and, if they do desiro tholr monoy rather than a 4 per cent investment, they must take it in silver, It tho ruling rato of interest at which tho Govornment, oan borrow money be 4 per cont, it will be 4 por cent in silver as well as 4 por centin gold, nfter silver shall have beon rostored to its money fanotion. It will not do to say that an addition to thoe stock of lawful coin money will increaso the rato of interest, Thero may bo n difference in the rolative valuo of gold and silver. We will nasmne that tho silver dollar, after remone- tization, will bo worth only 95 conta with a gold dollar at par. But if the par gold dollar will only earn 4. percont on its value, then the silver dollar will earn only 4 per cent on its value, Mon having silver to invest will scarcely expact to earn alargor rate of interest thereon than mon baving gold to invest. When the Government offers refunding bonds on a gold bnsis alone, it ro. quires a payment in gold, and virtually agrees o repny principal and interest in gold; when it offers bonds on n silver ‘basis, it expects to receivo silver and pay sil- ver; whon it offers bonds for gold or silver, it expects that the purchnsers will pay the cheaper of the two, aud roserves the right on its part to repay in the cheaper; but the ruling rato of interest remains the same in any ond all of these casos. The orror that must havo misled the Prosi- dout, Mr, Hxwirr, aud others in regard to this mattor is tho assumption that tho Gov- ernment would undertake to sell bonds for gold at par with the understanding that tho intorest and principal should be payable in gilver; or, in other words, that the Govern- ment would oxact tho dearer motal ir. selling its bonds nnd reservo the privilege of paying them in tho cheaper. Of course, 4 per cont bonds conld not bo sold on this basis; but nobody thinks of trying it. The purposo of offering 4 por cont bonds is to got monoy whorewith to redeom & por conts and G por cents. Dut both theso latter may bo paid in silver n3 well ns gold, and tho purpose is worked out by obtaining silver just as fally as if gold wero securod. If nman has 31,000 in gold which Lo wants to invest in Governmont bonds; and tho Govornmont “offors 4 per cent bonds payable in gold or silver, ho will gell his 21,000 gold, if there be n promium on gold, convert it into silver, and buy the bonds with thesilver. If he was willing to tako 4 por cont gold interest on his gold in- vestment, ho will be equally willing to tako his 4 per cont silver interest on his silver in. If, then, the debt can bo refund. ed into 4 por conts on a gold basis, and thore- by mnko an annunl saving of over $20,000,~ 000, it con likowise ba refunded on n silver Losls and make alike annual saving. The probability is that refunding in 4 per conts will bo an easier matter with both silver and gold than' on nn exclusively gold basis (the old bonds and thu new being alike poyable in silver or gold), Bocauso thoe stock of mon- oy will be enlarged and proportionately cheapor in the market, em——— o THE TURKISH DEFEAT. The long war between tho Muscovite and Mussulmau, commencod by Peren the Great over a contury ago, draws to its olose, and promises to end the protracted aud bloody strugglo with such overwhelming disaster that the Tarks can never again ronew it, oven if thoy aroallowed to remain in Europe, The knell of Turkish power hns sounded, first ¢ Karaand now again at Plevna, in each case suddonly and fatully, The war in Asia Mivor hung upon the ssue of Kars, When that ‘fortress fell, Batonm yielded of neces. sity, and Erzoroum must soon follow. In Europo, the Turkish Government concen- trated all tho resources of its threa great armles around and {n Plevna, and rested its hopes of final guccess upon that fortress, Its sudden and complete fall marks tho third groat opoch of the war, the firat being the passage of the Danube, which gave the Rus. sians a foothold and ultimate possession of Bulgaria; tho second being the capture of the Bhipka Pass, which they havo sucoess- fully held, and which gives them control of the most advantageous entranco into Roumelia. Tho third great epoch, the fall of the Turkish objective point, which rempves ono entire army and palafes tho other two, has passed, and now, after Plovaa, what? There are but two an- swers to choose from. Turkey must now sue for peace, or fight on in this contest of despair only to defor for a short time her inevitable fate, As tho Buitan himsclf is discouraged, aud has for ‘some time boen in favor of peace, and as tho radical War Ministry wos deposed from power but a short time ago, it is not improbable that the Government way negotiato with Russia for’ peace, indopondent of all tho other Powery, not only to show its contempt for England, but with the hopa of getting better termuy. On the supposition, however, that the Turks will contluue the fight, it is not diff. cult to forecast tho future of the campaign. ‘The fall of Plovaon reloases the Grand Duke's army. The army of Burxmuaw Pasha fs botween the Czarowitch's army along the lne of the Jantra and Gen. Znauzmaax's Dobrudscha anny Jying botween Shumls and Varma, Mzuewer Awr's force is at Orchanlo, southwest of Plevoa BuLEnaax is contronted by a force amply abla to take care of him, mask the fortresses of the Quedrilateral, nod force him through the castern passed down into Roumelis, i¢ they do not bag his eatire force. Moanwhile, the route from Plovoa southward to Bophia and thence soutbeastwardly to Adriauople'is open to the srmy of the Grand Duke, Mx. HxuMer Avl bas but a small force, gathered from Bognis, the Bervisn frontier, snd from Adrianaple, and must retreat at once into Roumelin. Gen. Gounzo and his small cavalry force have hold him at bay and pro- vented him from relieving Omax Pasha, Tt eight or ten thousand cavairy conld hold him at Orchanio, tho army of the Grand Duke, flushed with viotory, would sweep him away liko the whirlwind. If Burxmax Pasha can reach Roumelia, nud Mznexer Aur offect a safo rolreat into tho interior, it is not im- pussible that tho Turks, by concentrating all the troops at Constantinople and Adrianople, and wniting them with these armies, might make one moro sland, but it would bLe aa nscless a move s that of the ono pleco on the board which goes one aquare more into tho inevitable corner, whero it is loat. “Lhero nro other fnctors to bo constdered in’ producing this result which have thus far been mlont. The fall of Plovoa will bo the sigual for Servin's declaration of comploto independenco from the Turkish yoke and for ior active partio’pation in the close of the war, whilo from tho far south, Greeco aud Creto, who have only boen walting the present opportnnity, will not fail to put in n plea for independence by armed interven- tion on the side of Ruasia. 1t 18 enster lo traco tho probable direction of the campaign than to forecnst the condi- tions of pence and tho changes they will make, B8hould Turkoy fail to negotiato n ponce strictly with Rusaia, then the making of penco will be in the hands of Austrin, Qermany, and Russin, It is ovident now that England whit play no immediato part in the settlement of peaco. The London T'imes boars very siguifiennt testimony on this point in tho following extract sont by cable yesterday : Tho Tarks rofueed to accept .tho condition on which Eurapo, Including ourselves, offored to cons tinae our fall recoguition of thelr Empite, snd oy must bo loft to take tho conseqticnces, Thoso consequences must sooner or Inter be the forfelture of soma of their anthority, 1f not of their torrl. tory, in Europo. No European Power, rnd this conntry least of all, will Interfere to prevent that consequence., This romarkoble atatomont, which is for- tifled by o mumilar doclaration .in the NVetws, foreshadowing not only the loss of authority but nlso of territory, showa that there is a ravolution of opinion going on among the English people with roferonce to the Turks, nnd that England will. leavo them to their foto. The destruction of Turkish anthority, liowover, and even the division of Turkish torntory, will not satisfy strict justice. Tho only logical ontcoma of this war will be tho dispersal of tho Turka and their relogation to their Asintio possessions, They aro n bar. barie race of Asiatics, having nothing in common withk European civilization to-day more than they hed when their ancestors in- vaded Europo thrco centuries ago, aud Belavie autonomy will never be complately guoranteed until T'urkish power and name aro no longer known in Europo. THE INTRINSIC VALUE OF BILVER, Bountor StaNiEY MaTTHEWS, Of Oio, do- sorves the thanké of the Ameriean poople becauso of his opon challengo and denial of tho allegation that any part of tho nationnl dobt is mot logally pngablo in silver dollars, Ho submittoed, in the forn of a concarrent resolution for the adoption by the two Housos of Congross, n declarntion that it would bo logal, oguitable, and moral to re- stora tho silvor dollar; that tho restoration of such dollar was demanded by truo finan. cial wisdom; and that the right to pay every portion of the public dobt, principal and intorest, in silvor dollars of 412§ grains, was wuathlhiod By gyopy, wordiok,overy.onmofuthe pubiie nots on this quostion from 1862 to tho Rosumption law of 1875, Ifo has put this declaration in tho form of n rosolution, that it might ba adopted and be published to tho world, Bonator MarTnrws, howover, innddition to the discussion of the legal question, involv- ing, of courso, the moral question of paying dobta as required by tho lettcr and spirit of tho law, mot the nssortion that silver had depraciated in value by demonstrating that it was gold thiat had apprecinted. In support of this ho oited tho universal teatimony of the time. Tho following is a part of the Benato dobate oo this point;: Mr. Matruswa sald: Thero were considerations of anothor re which Invited discussion, and into which perhaps tlhe Sonato ought to go, into which perhaps some who would take pari in tho discusslon would necessarily go, but he would only bricfly refer to thom, It had been sald that silver hed dépreciated in value, llow was tho loss measured? Bygold. Why not say gold had ap. praciated in value? 3 Mr, Eatox—Ilas not sllver depreclated in the purchaso of evory product? i Mr, Marruiws—I snswer sliver can to-day bay more of any known product of lsbor than It could In July, 3870, here and In Asils, Nowhere in tho world haw sliver depreciatod the breadth of a halr. On the contrary, it has malntained its poat- tion. Itcan buy to-day moro land, morb houses, more callco, more everything, than it could in 1870, Nr, Eaton sald ho agroed with the Sonator that 1t could ta America, bot it could not abroad, Mr.Mavrnxwa—What have we to do with aboad? ‘What have we to do with tho inquiry whethor lande und houses nbroad have approciated or nott Who 18 thero who does not know from actual personal observation that overything has gone down, and that gold alone haa gone up? Nothing could pre- vunt persona from secing that but the bilndness of those wha had Jolned the coneplracy to cxalt gold a8 the king of money, Mr, Epuusps sald, taking the remarks of the Souator to Le truo uboat silver and gold, why would nol:dhl- philosuply spply as well to copper snd gold? Mr. Marrnzws—We alil not agreo to pay In cop- per. by Mr, Evsuxns then asked if the Senator from Ohlo was guite sure yold had appreciated, and if tha price of allks in Prance In gold was so high as five years ago. Mr, Martunws, resuming his azgument, ssid he had the teatimony of his own persopal experience, tho testimony of tha list of bankrupteles through. out the country, the testimony of the It of Shoriffs’ sales, to the effect (hat everything but gold had depreciated In valuc. What elss meant all this cry of dlscontent? What olse meant ull this murmur of dlwatisfactlont The distrese of the country now wos beyond all historical com- parison in our country, and It wonld tako but a few more turns of tha whcel to throw the great wmass of our people Into bankruptey, In concluslon, Mr, Marruzws argued that if this apprectation of guld shstl continue, the beat investment possible would bo to lock it up sad ‘walt its appreciation. In this point is conspicuously shown the great wrong and injustics done to the world geverally by the German and American de- ‘monstization of silver. It is impossible for |. one or half a dozen uations to affect perma-~ nantly the value of siiver by demonetizing it. Silver is and will remain the current coin of nearly two-thirds of the people of the world The German demonstization had the cffect, however, of, plscing on the market scveral’ bundred millions of dollars of silver to be ex- changed for gold. Had the demand been made for wheat or pork, there would have been a great addition to the value of thoso commodities. Had Gormany offered to purchase that amount of naval stores, or munitions of war, aud to pay for them in gold, the unusual demasd would have advanced the prices of all thess com- modities. - 8o with the domand for gold Tho domsand was largely in excess of the entiro aunual product of gold. Germany not only made a demand for a large propoz= tion of tho present stock of gold, but also for the entire product for some time to como, Germany sought to captura gold alrendy on hand, to take all of thoincoming supply, and to cut off all other nations from their ordinary &qnisitions of the metal, Of necessity, the extraordinary demand for an artinle alwaye in limited supply largely in- crensod tho valuo of gold, It did not affoct the valuo of silver, oxcept when. offored as. an oxchange for gold. The silver in London is quoted at its price in gold. The annual demand for silver is o regular one, equaling, with light variations, tho amount annunlly produced. Gormany placed on the market, to ba exchanged for gold, her entira mlver colnage. Bho has been endeavoring to pur- chase the gold, but it is not to Lo had, thongh she is offering a large prominm forit, In the meantime, in oll parts of the civilized world an ounce of silvor commands ag much property of every kind as it hns done for the Inst ton years, The silver dollar, which in 1878 would purchase 103 cenis in gold, will to-day purchase s much land, and as much of evory other description of property not affected by peculiar circumstancos, as it did from 1860 to 1878, except gold, and tho renson 1Is, that under tho special do- mand for gold the value of that metal Lias risen boyond all modern precedent. Tho silver doliar of 412} grains can purchaso as much property of overy kind, except gold, 08 it could whon it waas worth 103 conts in gold, and the conclusion is irresistible that tho present differenco in tho valne of the motals is due to an appraciation of gold, in which commodity only is thero a decline of the purchinsing power of silver. The great nolge and hullabaloo that have beon raised on the assumption that the silver dollar will be worth only 92 cents on the dol- lar are without cnuse, 'Tho intrinsic value of tho silver dollar is nnchanged when con. trasted with the value of all cther property than gold. Tho fnsano ambition of Hecre- tary Smenitan to resumo specie paymonts in gold is auother item in the demand for gold which tends to give it an oxtraordinery value < Wo have nothing particular to do with the action of Gormany in demonetizing silver, bat we have tho power to remedy the un- fortunato action so far ns this Government Is concernsd. Wo can rondor gold unnecessary in this country for auy purposoof pnying debts, prineipnl or interest, or in paying du- ties. Wo can make silver receivable for every purpose, and for tho purchase of all forms of proporty.. Wecan thus withdraw from tho gold market. We can, if noed be, ro- Ioase the hundroed and fifty or more millions of gold in this country,” throwing it upon the European market, and materially brenking up the gold combina- tion by moking the market abundant nnd cheap instond of searco and dear, The ro- monetization of tho silver dollar s demandod by overy consideration of right and justico, wisdom and expediency. Why should the poople of this country punish and bankrupt themselves by giving to gold an extraor- dinary valuo, adding from 10 to 20 per cent of all forms of dobt, and depreciating all other forms of property to tho same oxtent ? Lot it bo remembered that tho silver dollar of 412§ graina is worth to-day asmuch in the purchaso of all forms of property, ox- cept gold, a8 it was worth whon it could purchose 103 conts in gold. Why, then, should it bo demonetized? If it bo worth tho samo aw ever in the purchnse of land, ‘why not in the paymont of debts and in the X?M%Wd&h Why should tho silvar ollar not bo restored to its old rank and valuo among the colns of the country ? THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY~-EX. TEND THE LINE. H. E. Sanoent, Esq, known to all onr lending oitizons for many yoars ss tho ablo Buperintendont of tho Michigan Central Railway, and now oocupying the same posi. tion on the Northern Pacifie, was in town on Mondny, and gives the most oncournging statements in regard to the prosent condition and the prospoots of the road, What distin- guishes the rond from nearly all the milways in the country s tho gratifying faot that it ia absolutely free from dobt. It was sold out, sudboughtin by thebondholders ; theytorn- ed anew Company, and thus tho old stock and dobts were nll wipedout, Tho Company have sowme 450 miles of road, extending from Lake Buperlor to Blsmarck on the Missonri, and 100 miles or moro from Talama on the Columbia River to Tacomn on Puaget's Honnd, Jrom the net earnings of the road during tho past season they have built thir. ty-fivo miles from Tacoma to tho coal fields, and thus tho citica of Orogon are 1ald under contribution ns n market for coal. fha Company are considering the best moaus to extend tho road some 220 miles westward to the Upper Yellowstono, thus giving thom tho control of the trade of Montana, Thore can be no doubt whatever that tho lino is ample security for a modorate fssuo of bonds, and if these can be negotiated on favorable torms,— and thoro seoms to be no valid roason why they should not,—it is not unlikely that the road can be bullt to Montana during the yoar 1878, This wounld incroase its usefulness nnd resources immensely, and be a sure promise of its completion to Pugot's Sound at no distant day. The markoting of tho lmmansewheat evops of the Red Liver Valley during tho season has furnishoed a largo business for tho road, and the faot that such crops can bo ralsed thero hns stimulated boyond oll precedent the settloment of the country. COol. Powzz, the land-agent of the Company at St. Paul, i{s running his office night and day, and can scarcely keep up with the demaud upon him, Gontlemen who Lave beun over the entire line of the road, and who have scon and stndied tho oountry along the line of the Oentral and Bouthern Pacifie Rallways, give it as thelr decided opinion that there s more than twice as much land capablo of scttloment nud profitable culturs along the line of the Northern Pacific Rall- woy than there is along both the others, The faot is important, exccedingly so, when considering the resources aud the prospects for the early completion of the road. The Company will be obliged to go before Congress nnd ask for an exteusion of tho time for the completion of their road. This request, mado neceasary by the paulo of 1873 and the dopressed condition of the finauces of the country ever since, i3 s0 reasonable that it is hoped thers will bo no seri. ous cpposition to the moasure. It is siply an sot of justice- to the enterprising men who are building the road, and to the people of the country through which it .runs. Let the sct be passed, and the road will have the means from itsre. ceipts, from its lands, and the substantial socurities it will have to offer to the capital. ista of the country, to- extend its line east- ward and westward with all reasonable digpateb, and the time when trains for Puget's Sound will be made up right here in Obicsgo morning and evening may bo much * Gon.
