THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. JUNE 7, 187 This deolsive majority against a proposition to oripplo the already inndequate military oatablishment out of deforenca to the Com- munistie dislika of interferonce by Fed- oral troops in their achomes for an equal distribution of property and tho destrnction of euch a8 is not distributed, renders it certain that the Senato will compol the Hounse majorily to recedo from ita position oa the guestion of rednc. tlon. In thisinstanco the Senata correctly representa tho wishes and will of a vast ma- jority of the American peopls, and the Houss will be forced to yield. The Demo- crats in the Senato who respeot the desire of tho Lmsinesa intoresta ns opposed to the the people of thowo States.

'This subsidy is sach a flagrant ontrage, so wholly outsido of logititnate logistation, that it ro. calls tho logislation of n few yonrs ago when tho Pacifle Mail Company, in order to get a subsidy of £1,000,000, paid $3500,000 to get votes enongh to pass it through Congress. ‘We oommond this shameloss act of legislation to the constitnonts of thoso who voted for it. “THE BIGGEST LTAR ON EARTIL" Rovenuo lawa by tho officers of the United States will thevefore bo imponsibloe. Tho Stata law daoes not authorizo a Foderal officer to arrost a citizon of a Btate or to scizo his property for swindling the General Govern- mont out of excises, and oither act s oriminal and punishable undor Btate law. Tleretofore, tho Fedoral officar, when prose- ontad for execnting tho Rovenuo law, has had the privilego of having the prosscution transforred to the United Stales court, and thers tried; but tho Domooratio Houss has ropealed this privilege, and the United States officor, being the representative of n ‘*foraign™ Govornmont, in Southorn edti- mation, may horenfter bs mubjocted to the of knowledge and the sprand of codueation.

Ilo hna nd- mitted it in his own testimony. 1lo goos so far as to sy that he does not expectanybody to balievo him, excopt as he is corroborated. Everybody ho has named has contendictod him. Thae President provos-he lics, Smen- 3ax ig rendy to prove ho lies. Marmnzws hins nsked tho privilego of proving to tho Sonate that Axpensox lies. Kriroua shows by tho Loulsiana records that he Hos.

Last woek thh same Ifonso of Repro. sontatives put into the Army bill a prohibi. tion of tho uso of auy military forco in ex- ecuting the laws of thio United States, or for any purposo within n State, and now comos this XRovenne bill, which substantially pro. vides for the arrest, imprisonment, and other Htato punishment of any officor of the United Statos attompting to colleot internal revento in n Blate; nnd tho two provisions smonnt to n complote donntionnlization of the nuthority of the Uniled States, and tho rocoguition of each Stato Govarament as tho exclusivo authority within its own limits in tho protection of its citizons against ar- vest or interforenco by tho United Btntos for violating national Jaws. This ls the old doctrine of Blato Boveroignty, under which each citizon owos his frst allegiance to tho Btato, and his alleglance to tho United moving tbem by bonovolence applied undor tha law.” The sitution from this point of viaw, it must bo coneoded, doos not look very hopeful. Tho Church must invest itsalf with o moro decided misslonary apirit than t now possesses, if it ia to accom- plish anything ageinst Communism, With rogard to higher wages and the supprossion of competition, wa do not see how Ar. Coox can regulate thess vory mporlant faotors, nor doos he give na any hint. Ifo eerlainly connot mnke wages higher unless ho can mako produots higher and supply the world with a coustant, unfailing markeh Ie might force n man to pay high wages, while solling at low prices, but it would only force him quickly into baukroptoy, whore he couldn't pny eniythiag. Xt is not so much high wages that the Iaborerneeds as constant work at falr wagos, regulated by the purchasing power of tho dollar, Neither do wesqo how o ia to do away with compelition, which grows ontof the laws of supply and demaud, unless hecan nccomplish tho difionlt feat of Sxlug & univorsal prico for every produot. We fancy Mr. Coox would flad more difficulty in sup- prossing compotition than jn supprossing Commaunism.

Finolly, theso ornzy poople demand that the coinnge of silvor now be placed upon the samo footing ns gold, This is onother blow nt the taxpayors. Undor the present Inw the Governmont enjoys the seigniorage on the coinage of silver, which amounta to ‘botween £3,000,000 and $4,000,000 annual 1y, and reliovos the taxpayers to that extont. But tho prosont demsnd is that the tax- payers shofl forfoit this advantage and turn it ovor to the foralgn speculstors who will bring sllver into the conntry at the bullion. rate abroad, domand its coinage at the ox. ponss of tho Governmont, aud realize a profit of about 8 per cent on the transaction. We montion this simply as anothor indica- tion of the utterly nnbusinossitko character nnd thongltless habits of the people who gathor togolhior under the rallyingcry of Tabor-Greonbacks, and make up platforms of whoso meaning and effects thoy have not the slightest concoption, L] New York Cnstom-ITouse, Tha rosult shows, too, what may be accomplished .In the way of raform by one dotormined merchant, e RRIUMPTION AND REISSUE. The President having signed the Fopr Currency bill, prohibiting the furthor relire. mont and canceliption of greenbacks, the Brzryax schamo of resumption is practical. 1y sdopted. The Resnmption act 1s nn. changod §n overy other respaot, and it is un. dorstood that all parties havo agrood to 1ot it remain nndisturbed. As the law now stands, it will ba the duty of tho Bocrotary of fhe Troasury to rodaom grasnbacks that nre pro. ponted to him fn sums of R and upwards on and aftor Jan, 1 nexts but it will also Lo his duly to roissuo tho grecubacks thus re. doemoed, instead of dostroying them. It ia noticonbls that tho vory same newspapers in New England and tho East whioh opposod tho romonctization of silver now contand that {hia interprotation of the law will ron. der tho Resumption ack inoporative. *'It will be, in offoot,” says tho New York ZTimes, “to lot the Rosumption act stand ne it is, but to prohibit its execution.” The theory is thot tho greenbnckas onco redeem. ol will be rolssued, and Immedintely pre. sented ngain for redemption, and that, when tho Tronsury eball bo drained of its coin resources, tho Governmont will bo forced to buy gold at 8 promlam, or soll bonds at a discount for gold, wherewith to continue this ondless systom of redomption and ro. igsuo, The strict constructionists who in. nist that resumption meons not morely re. demptlon on demand, bat the comploto de- struction of tho redoomed notos, protond not to Yo abla to comprohond how the mnotes anco redesmed ean bo got outagafn, *Thera can bo no relssuo of a logal-tonder after it is rodeomad,” saya the Now York Commercial and Financial Chronicle, *‘unloss in pay. mont of some specifled demand agninst the QGovarnment, sinco all curront demandy aro othorwiso provided for,—recoipls from taxes covoring all Governmont expensos, and bond subscriptions meoting bond redemp- tions.” Al of which simply shows that the Eastorn nowspapora discussing this question aro using as littlo judgmont as thoy used in tho discusslon of the silvor quostion, and that thele prodictions will prove as falso in this case as they have alroedy proved in the other, An ondloss system of redomption snd re. isauo of greanbacks, by which it is meant that grocubacks will no soonor como out of ono door of the Troasury than thoy will ho prosonted at nuother door for colu, is con- trary to nall exporionce. If this wero tho natural or commoreial oporntion of notos of 1ssuo on a specio basls, thon thero would bo no bank-notes, no olcoks or drafis in cirou- lation, no bills passod sbout from hand to hand without indorsoment and without re- course eorving in the function of monoy.

What exclnsive function or special value will specie hinve thnt groonbacks will not possess? 'Lhe THE EID-GLOVE IMPORTERS. Homo waoks ngo wa cited the doclaration of o prominont Chlongo importor to tho offect that thera hadnot boen an honest importation of kid gloves of any considorable mngnitude to thia country for sevaral yoars, This con., ditlon of things was brought sbout by the rasoslity of foroign manufncturers, who placed their goods on the New York market in the hands of agonts, by consignmont at undervaluations, thus robbing the Govorn.: ment of a portlon of its just revenus, and so driving from the foroign markets sll actunl purchasors. OL course the system was ostablished throngh tho inofiiciency or cor- raption of Now York Oustom-Houso oflicials, But, once established, it was onsy to maintain it, since, in case of an advance of involcc-value by the ‘Ap- pratsors, the ring of mannfacturers’ ngonts atood rondy to swoar thelr nssoclate thiot throngh the Oustom-Houso, This thoy did untll evory honest importor of kid gloves was driven from. businoss, Bome months sgo o Pbiladolphin glove-morchant rosolved to slop this particular fraud upon the revenne, To this end he collocted facts in regard to tho kid-glove trade covering o poriod of ten yonra, When he had con. clnded his labors on this branoh of tho sub- jeot, he submitted the caso to Treasury offl- clals, Tho caga consisted of corrospondenco from nll parts of Europe, showing fully the dotnils of tho whole system of fraud, actunal pricelists issued by the manulactur. ors implicated, prico-lsts of gloves | Amoricans aro too busy n peopl ple to spond of tho mmo grade, ~and account | their time in oxchanging greonbacks 1 sales showing that “the prices at - 0o for tho mora fun of tho thing.. - They arotoo wiso a pooplo to draw the gold for the pur- poseof honrding it at thoir ows rsk and lotting it lo idle,” They aro too economical ond praotical & poople to insist upon trans. acting oll their businces with actual speclo, which involvos delay, personal inconven« ionoo, andgroator cost of handling and trana- portation, Thoy trust private persons and baoking corporations by rocognizing and using notes of fuma socared by a propor ro- sorve. Thoy will scarcoly refuse totrust tho Government, wloso resources are much vastor and whoso crodit is much more com- probonsive, when tho Qovernment slall comply with the snme prudent conditlons. Groonbacks, socured by tBe proper speclo reserve and redeomable on presentation, will not flow fnto the Tronsury for exchango in gold and silver,~thoy will bo neodud for activo olrculation and the ordinary business usos, The very dificulty suggostod by the strict construotionists—that of relssuing groon- backs that sball bave been rodeemed, oud those which represont the excess of Govern- mont recolpts over Governmont expenses— will furnish tho Government with thé means for inorcaslng and constantly maintaining ita spocio supplies. ¢ How are these groon backs to be rolsyued?” Bimply by monns of oxchange for gold and silver, Aftor ro- sumption, with groenbacks serving nll the uses of gold and silver, gold and silver will flow into the United Btates Trensury to bo exchanged for tho surplus groonbaoks, Why?
