This notion is equally fallacfons. Tho man who deposits bullion will pay, say 1 per cent for coinnga; if the dollar be worth 90 conts ns matal, and one cent more as coin, then he will in vain try to purchaso with it any more than 01 cents worth of any commodity, It will have no purchasing power bLoyond that, and ho will make nothing whatever by tho coin- observed at the Now York Cnstom-Houso, whore the great frauds nre mostly porpe- trated.

The whala theary of there being o profit in coinago of silvor dollars, whether by the Government or by the holders of silver, is fallaclous.

The coinago of gold is free. Every man may deposit his builion at tho mint and have it coined to any amount, paying the cost of coinage. Why not tho sawe in silver? Why bavo tho Gov. ernmont, without any possible profit, undor- tako this business of buying sllver with gracn. ‘becks, and then buying more silvor, whon it can open the mints and let silver be coined for whoover will pay the cost?

In tho first place, the roport of the speech makes less than 3,000 words, or considers- bly loss than one-third as mavy as the En- quirer nlloges, (2) Poople wanted to seo what Layan had to say on so {mportant & question, as Laxan is perhaps the most influ- entfal man in the Sepate from the South. His spocch is o disappointment to both sldes. It wns very wonk, becnuse it upheld neithor side of tho jssue, and did not reflect {ho real sontiments cither of himself or his constituonts. It hurt Lasuan rathor than helped tho Shylocks. Io dodged tho vote on the Epyroxparesolution to pay the bonds in gold alone, but voted against the] Matrnsws rosolution declaring that they were logally payable in silver or gold at tha optlon of tho Governmont; andin so doing ho stultified himsolf, because in his speech he fully ad- mitted that it was nccording to the contract to pay them in silver, if the Government choso to tender that coin in paymont, He eaid: Tdonot Intend to discuss the question whether tho Uovernment hna a morsl or logal right to pay its bonds In sliver dotiars contalving 4135 grains to the dullar.

No doubt jn some instances, as during the brilliant but destructive careor of the First NarozeoN, the balance-of-power doctrino has beon of real importance, well worth the at- tentive considoration of the statesmon of Furope. In other instauces and at other times it Lnd rather Leen = huge bugbear, that has stood in the way of the odvancemont of the race. This has Leen ominently the cass with respoeot to the Eaat- ern question. Turkey for a long time, un. able to stand alone, has beon kept {n posi- tion lika n puppet by the other Powors, who have foared her downfall, lest tho balance of “power sbould be rudely disturbed; in other ‘words, Jost Ttussia should galn o tremendous advantage that would enable her more and 1more to overshadow thomselves, Under tho upoll of this droadtul nightmare, Turkoy haos boou supplied with artificlal strength, when it was well undorstood by thosa supporting her that she would use thls strongth for tho oppression of ler helploss subjecte and the blocking of the car of progreas. Dut the ' growih of public sentiment in opposition to such complicity with evil hos been too groat within tho last quarter of a century to allow England and her old allies to continuo to pursue thelr solfish though time-honored policy, It is difffcult to find, in the whola range of history, n more rapid advance in public opinion thauthst which has ‘taken place in Europe, notably in Ea- gland, touching the Eastern question since the COrimesh war, The cousequence is such as might have been anticipated. ‘Lurkey reels aud totters as & drunkeu man, Bhe is plainly doomed.

Politically, Pouunsylvania and the influential Htatos of the West huve long boen in Larmony; Pennsylvania was Damocratio when tho West was Democratic, and both sections becana Republican and autislavery about the same time. And now, whon thero is a decidod soctional difference botween that portion of the East ruled by the money-bags and the West, whoso peopla work for therr §ving, Ponnsylvania joins hands with the latter in resenting tho efforts of tho monoyed cldas to oppress oad ruin the producing, industrial, and wercantile classen. DBothe the Ponnsylvania Sonators—Oax- rrox, s Republican, and Warvace, a Democrat —voted for the MarTnews silver resolution, which ftoplies their readiness to vote for the Hilver bill, whish I quly an application of the sontiment exprossed by the resolution, It waa thought for o time that Dox Cauesox would vote with the moneyed interest against tha people, but young Mr. Oangnoy, ever since ha has been in public life, has shown a peculiar aptitude in apprehending the popular will and a disposition to act in the best public interest.

There is no reason to be satonisbed, therefare, that Mr, Cawxron in this instance hes followed the sentiment of Lis party in tho Btate. Thereis no doubt that, in voting as they did, both Senators fairly reprosentod their rospective . constitu. encics and the great bulk of the people of their State. In fact, the last Republicon Couventlon, 8ept. 5, 1677, adopted the fol- lowlng resolution : = The long and taccesaful ozlstence, under the lawe of z‘on.-xw. of the double cola standsnd # whips " havo been busily occupled in call- ing lu members for the occasion, it appoars unlikely that the Liberal leaders will at present muko a declded stand sgainst tho voto, 2 Woe imagine that Benator Eostoyps did not fecl greatly flotterod ot the voto his amond- ment’ providing for the payment of thoe ‘bonds i gold alone recolved, viz.: Ayes, 18; noes, 44.
