TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1878, Groenbacks at the Now York Stock.Ex. chaugo yosterday clogod nt 09 1.8, ———erre The nuthoritics of Montreal propose try- iog a little more law as a moans of prevent- ing the regulnr annnal riot incident to the 12th of July parado of the Orangemen, A Uill prohibiting party processions is to bo introduced in the local Legislature in the hopo that it may become a law beforo the dreadod day of parado comes ronnd, It is now learned that the insurgents in tho Rhodope Mountains, whose warlike in. tentions havo beon g0 often spoken of ro- cently, aro not so formidablo as has been represented. A Constantinoplo dispatch an. nounces that, 5o far from baing dangerous, thesa peoplo are atarving Turkish rofugocs, numboring 100,000, who have fled to the monntain fastnesses to escapo tho vengoance of tho Russiun and Bulgarian irregulars; that theso fugitives are in tho most atrait. cned circumstances, and call upon the Turk. ish authorition to send thom immodinte aid inorder that thoy may cscapo nctual starva. tion. In tho cohtest for county offices last year tho Republicnn platform consisted of three words: “Honesty and Economy.” Whilo hero aro individunl cases of forgetfulness, notebly amoug the members of tho County Board who woro clacted ns Republicans and rofortners, nud who pledged themselvas to carry out tho promiso of the platform, there oro also bright. aud shining instances of fidelity to tho motto, ns is shown by tho semi-annual reporta of tho County Clork and tho Rcconler of Deeds, submitted to the Bonrd nt yostordny’s meeting, In the Clork's offico tha incflicioncy and corruption which prevailed undor the Domoceratic incumbent have given placo to rotrenohmont nnd good nervico, with A saving of over $75,000 o year to tho taxpayors; whilo in the Recorder's offico a degreo of efliciency haa heen attained which compotes successfully with private institntions, also resulting in a large saving to the taxpayors. There {s reason to anticipate a split in the House 1ajority when it comes to a vote on hat portion of tho Sundry Clvil bill eon- taining appropristions for the various un- finished Custom- ouso buildings throughout tho country. For tho purposs of keeping up the protense of retronchment the Demo- cratio managers have out down the items for carrying forward the work on Governmont buildings, but the plan meets with stubborn opposition on tho pmt of members ropra- sonting Districts whoroin the unfinished structurea aro located, and of otbers who ns busincas men condemn & systom of economy which would needlessly delay work that can never again be donu so chieaply asat present, The caso ,of the Chicago Oustom,House building is a smnple of this bogus economy, nud the fact thut numerous other cities aro similurly citunted renders it extromely prob- sble that tho Appropriation Committoe's veport will not be adoptod 80 far au it relates to the allowances for unfinishod publio build- ingy. — Yostorday's proceedings {n the Porrer in. vestigation served to dincloso the motive sud intention of Gen.

MoLiv knows little himself abont thesa alleged frauds, but his foith in the Florida fraud.monger is un- Lounded. Testimony such ns this man has given, and which hasbeen allowed to cumber savernl hundrod pages of tho inquisitors’ diary, would not have obtained a plnco even inn police court record. Yet of such in the basis of tho overshadowing conspiracy of the yoar of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-sight. CGOVERNMENTAL PATERNALISH, Tlioro is no greater fraud or delusion than thnt which insists tbat the General Govern- ment, the Btate Government, and City and County Governments shall appropriate pnub- lic money to bo expended for tho purposa of giving men wages. This delusion Is ons of the most dangerons that can afilict sociely. 0Ot courso it is a favorite with demagogucs, ond the halls of legislation resound with ap- peals in behalf of ths ** poor maa,” who only wants employment. ’ Th dolusion rests npon the supposition that money is of spontaneons growth; that it costs nothiug to anybody to got it into the Treasury, and, of course, ia no loss to givo it away. Qovernments in this counlry have no incomes save those derived from taxation, Every dollar of money pnssing into the hands of the Governmont—National, Btate, or local—is drawn direotly fromn tho onrnings and products of labor. Every man who earns adollar of wages pays out of it o libornl percentage in tha way of taxes to the varions forms of governmant, He pays taxes on all Lo cats and drinks, on evary article of woaring.npparel parchased by him for himself and family, and on all bis property. ‘The tsxation of the United States in every form is not loss thau $G00,000,000 o year. That much money of thy carnings of the people is taken from thom to bo expended Ly tho difforent Lrauchos of Government. Cor- tain expenditures are absolately essential to thp existenco and maintenance of so- ciety. laxation for thess purposes Is legitimato, becanse the money cannmot bo eoxponded by any other agency for such pur. poses. But taxation for any object not di- ractly necessary to tho good of tho public and safoty of tho Govornmout is a woste of public monoy, o more confiscation of pri- vato onmings, ond o fruitful sonreo of cor- ruption, Whon Congress appropriates millions of dollara on the protense of furalshing om- ploymont to Inbor, it commits o wrong and a robbery on production of tho most seandal- ous character, To collect these millions of dollars will involve a tax of a much larger snm, or the uso of a large percentago sufficient to cover the expunse of col- lections, tho loascs, tho peculations, and the cost of expoudituro. Then tho money has to bo oxponded for works porformed under contraots, with componsation and profita ta middle moen and subordinates, co that out of an appropriation of $50,000,000 ot loast one-third will be eaton up bofora n dollar reaches the hands of tho ‘‘uncmployed la- borers " for whose beneilt the whole sum is pre- tendod to bo appropriated, Intho monntime, whore lathomoneytocomea from? Thismoney is drawn from tho farmer, the mannfacturor, the mochanio, the employing corporation, and businessmenwhohiralabor, Itis taken from the wages of the employe clasa and from the wagos-fund of the smployer. The man who employs Inbor and pays wages ins to tnke from his wages-fund sufficiont to pay his sharo of this ‘tax; tho workman has to take from his wages sufiiciont to pay his sharo of tho tax. The cuployer baving his fund, or tho monns with which ho pays wages, roduced in order to pay the tax, dis. ohapges o sufllicient number of workmon or reduces the wagos of them all in order to moet tho deficioncy. A man.employing five workmon dlscharges ono ortwoof them; the wan employing & hundred workmen reduces wages on all of them to covor the tax exncted of. him. And while the approprintion to '‘give wore employment”™ fu- filtoring throngh the machinory of Government agoncios, aud losing much of its substance in tho process of roaching the laborers, pri- vate employmont of common and skilled Iabor of every’ description is robbed of ita moans of support, Take, for illustration, any mnan of or. dinnry business who has §10,000 to oxpend each yoar for wages for labor in manufac- tares, in building, aud otherwiso, Does any ono suppose it is any benofit to his workmon for tho Government to inter. poso nnd take part of that moncy from Lim ond oxpend it throngh own ogonts in tho omployment of labor? Inthe ona case every dollarof tho money will be paid out dircetly in poyment for Iabor, and thera will bo added to the wealth of tho country the prodact of that labor; so much sdditional capital to bo engaged 1n employwent of more labor noxt your, Dut tho monoy tnken by the Governmont is Inrgely lost, Lt a comparatively small por. tion of it reaches tho end proposed, and tho work accomplished by it is gonerally of littla public bonufit. Tho wholo expenditure is Ladly wastod, Littlo is left to show for the money, Notbing material ia ndded to the general wealth, Scldom au iota {s added to tho productiva capital of tho country, Now if this 30,000,000 be left with the poople, in tho hauds of these who earn It, und who scck to omploy it profitably, aud of courseproductively, how different will Lo the result. Ifstoadoftaking this monoy by foreo from the people and orippling them in thelr monns ond in the amount of their wages, the wholo suu bo loft fu the hands of the om. ployers and in tho bands of thv wages olass, that amount could be turaed over and oyor in busness aud productive labor,aud be mado to go as far and employ twice sa much Inbor as can ever bo employed by the QGovernment for tho same money., Not o dollar would bo wasted. Lvery cent of it would bo emuployed produclively. The manufacturcy, having the raw materials, the machinery, and tho labor, would produce something ropresouting the combined value; buildings would be oreeted; machinery man. ufactaredaud purchased; morefields putunder cultivation; moro lumber cut and used; more brick and iron cousumed, sud io the grand iucreaso of employmosnt and of production every dollar would be saved, aud every dollar expended would be represented by a correspouding production of in. creased value, It is not cxtravagant to soy that every dollar of money left 1n the bands of the peoble 1o bs used and handled by thom in private business and production is of thricd tho valuo to tha country that it would bo it taken by the Goveramont to bo expendod by its sgency for works and pur- posas which ara not casential to tho proser- vation and support of logitimate governimeat, ‘That Goverument is of nocessity tho most boneficiolly sdministered which interforcs the least with the business of the peoplo, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE TUESDAY., JUNE 1J; 1878, and which redncesthe demands on the popu. lar substance to tho minimnm ; which leaves each man the privilege of expending his own monoy in tho most productive mnnuer, and which ignores to the groatost extent the wasteful policy of p atornalism, CABDINAL M'CLOSKEY ON SOCIALISM. It scoms very probable that the steady snd porsistont hostility which the Roman Catholio Church hss always manifested to- wards secret socleties may soon ba made to subscrve tho causo of law and order in this country to an oxtent that is now hardly anticipated by the superflcial ob- sorver, The Church has always set her face liko flint againat all sccrot organizations of every name and nature, from Freo-Masonry down to the most insignificant and harmloss of all ita copies, no matter for what purpose they wore institnted, nor how humaue and bonoficent the objeots of their association, Somo of the Catholia priests have carried, {lus opposition so far as to dony a momber of a aocret order & Christian burisl, and liavo repeatedly refused to bury such in con- secrated ground, and for such sotion they bave boon promiscuonsly donounced by noarly evory Protestant donomination, and espeoially by that clnsa of blatant doolaimors obout Jiberty and equality with whom liberty menus liconse and ‘freodom siguifics to do what evil you ploase. The firm grip with which tho * Mother Church" held back her excitable Irish communicants from ontoring into the Fonian folly wns simply an nct of merey to them, and her courao in that respect will never bo for- gotton, but continug to recoive tho approba- tion of all order-loving citizens, In this mat. ter this great denomination has always been conaistont and unrelonting, and, havingestab- lished & policy and marked out a courso of conduot to be pursued by the Church and by its mombors, there has been no deviation from the rule allowed, no mattor who was disploased by 1ts enforcoment, or who was hurt by its practical application. The rule in rogard to sccret socicties was thought by most people to be too much lilie the Proorustean Jbed, and too rigidly infloxible to bo consistent with modern ‘notions of:in- dividual freedom. Bo this as it inay,~and wo do not stop hero to discuss .the motive that lLios at tho bottom of tho subject, nor to criticise tho stringency with which the Church has ever enforced her deerao,~it s sufflcient for our present purposs to note that in tho courso of human ovents tho <Catholic clorgy'may have it in thelr power to render a substantialsorvico in maintaining the peaco and permanent welfare of tho, community, If Communism is to raise its bydra hcad iu this country in such s manner as to dofy the legally-constituted au- thorities, 1t will ind the Oatholio Church its firm and unflinching enemy, instund of o supporter and an ally. The receat uttor- ances of Cardinal McCLoskey, the highost authority of the Church in the United Btates, gives us the assuranco that sach expectations aro woll founded, Tho first publio and offl- cinl act of tho Cardinal since his retarn from TRomo is to array his Church openly on tho sido of law and ordor, and to robulkoe in the most emphatic manner the Communistio toundencios of tho times. o solomnly warns his people ngainst the * tide of irreligion, infidelity, Socialism, and rovolutionfsm that bag begun to undermine not only tho founda- tions of civil government but of dociety it- self, and threatens us with still grestor calomitios,” and ho is awaro of tho fact that ¢ mischiof is browing from the olemonts of Communism and rovolutionism evan on this side of the Atlantic.” S8imilar action has al. ready beon taken by somo of the clorgy in this respect 1n tho East and West, and, now that the Priuco of the Church hns spoken, we may look for nnited and onergatio action in favor of good order. B SILVER JONFER- ENC] ‘When tho Sounte Silver bill was adopted, which aftorwards became the law, n provis- ion was incorporated instracting tho Gov- ernment to Iivito tho European Powers to an Iuternntional Conferouce with fhio pure pose of securing o goneral adoption of tho double standard, and no ngrecment npon a fixed and common ratio of values betwaon gold and silver, Itis such an international ogreomont which 1AL OzaNuscmr holds, with much reason, to be cssential to thio main. tenanco nnd usofnlucss of ths donbla stand- ard. Szcretary Evants bas sent oat invita- tions in accordauce with tho law, and France, Rugsia, Greeco, and Italy have alresdy signi- fied thoir acceptance. This number will be sufficiont to nsaure the holding of tho Confor. onco at Parls, aven if nono of the othor Powors shall join in it. DBut the prosence of throo of the membors of tho Latin Union will, in all probability, induce the other two members—Bwitzerland aud Dolgium— tosock a reprosentation. It is probable, algo, that the Austro-Hungarian Ewpire will tako part in tha Conferoncs, and for tho samo rpason that must hava {nfluonced Runsia largoly.

Tho Bilver Con- feronce, thereforo, is likoly to start off much moro favorably than did the International Tostnl Conference, which has prodeuced such sploudid results, ‘The objeot to b ronclied {n tho one cago is very wuch the same asin tho othior,—an intornational staudard for mutual bonoflt, 4 The nations which aro expected to atand out agaiust the proposed Oonfuronce aro Gei many and Great Dritain ; bat thers ary al. rondy jufluonces at work which may make a rovolution in tho public scatimont of those countrles, and persuzdo those Govein. wents to acquicsco, at loust so far 83 consultation goes, In Qenaamny, tho idon s toking strong hold that the practical domonetization of silver In that country is largoly responsible for the pre- vailiug hard times. ‘Phe climinaticu of sil- vor from circulation, by Qovcromuut pur. chaso and sale abroad, has cortaluly exerted more Influcnce upon monetary aud commor- clal affairs tuou the statutory demonotization of silver had exerted 1n this country, With us, neither gold nor silver was in astive oir- culation at the tima the double staudard was abandonod, and wo only began to estimato the fntluenca of that law, and feel its cfects, 06 we approached tho dato fixcd for resump. tion, aud wers confronted with tho me. cessity of attompting to resume with o lim- ited and constantly contracting supply of gold. The prices of all property wero shrinking, not mercly iu proportion to the appreciation of groenbacks to & specie basis, but in proportion to their appreciation to an exclusive gold basls. 'Tho prospoct ahead ‘was that of 8 continuod shrinkage after re- sumption, as gold should grow scarcer and scarcer in proportion to the dewand for money, and hence dearer aud doaver. Germany has been going throngh a similar oxporience. The stock of money hns boen matorially reduced by withdrwal of lnrge smonnts of silver ; the gold Lnanot fitled tho vacancy, end the outlook hns impressed it- selt upon tho industrial and commorcial classos that gold will continue to grow searoer and dearer s the mnatlon shall ap- proach actunl demonotization and disuse of silver snva for subsidiary coin. Prices have onturally and inovitably fallon fa propor. tion; commoreiat and industrial onterprise has been ratarded from boying, manu- facturing, and fuvesling in tho face of 8 falling market ; ‘docline in buainese, loss of confidency, Lionrding of gold, lack of employ- mont have followed, and theso are the fuci. dentsthat makeup **hardtimes.” Alreadyone prominent Gorman nowspaper bas printed a series of articlos on this thomo, nud tho knowlodgs of tho causo and offect will becomo moro genoral among tho pdople. Then will como the popular demand, as it came hero, that tho withdrawal of silver {from monetary service shall bo stopped. Tho nuswer of tho monometallists has boon that, if Germany shall commit itsolf to the double staudard, the Latin nion will abandon it, nad Gormany will have to carry the sllver lond alono ; but the obvious remedy ngainst any such turn of affairs is for Gormany to Jjoin on Intornational Congross, of which the Latin Union States shall bo mombers, as o certain moans for protection by insuring a common policy. ‘This is likely toben course of reasoning which will, sooner or later, induce Germany to bacomo a party tonn internatioual standard governing tho rolativo values of silver and gold. Thera aro influences in England which will work towards the snme ond. The groat capilalists of Groat Britain have the same roason for urging the single gold standard that pcluated the New England and Wall streot money-lenders, Their periodical ro. ccipts of interest and ultimnte roturn of principal will beenbanced iu value ag gold bo- comos relativaly scarcer and dearer by renson of itamonopoly of the money function. But England’s vast Indian intorests aroin conflict with this view, Bilver is tho money of India, ‘and must continno to be so. To enlargo the ‘nron of tho einglo standard of gold will ba to continuo to dopross the value of silver, ond England must suffer by tho fall in oll its commorcial relations with ita Indian provinces. England will also bo affectod by American dictation. As the law stands, and with the sc-called balanca of trade likely to bo na it i8 now ogalnst England and in favor of the United Btates, the Engliah poople will be compellod to pay us for our producta in gold, or in silver nt its bullion valuo In gold. Tho Unitod States will bo muster of tho situntion, for England will soon tire of sonding back bonds in payment of Amerlenn balances, becauso these bonds nro tho safeat and most profitablo securities held in En. gland. In their trade relations with Amorica, 83 woll a3 with Indin, England will suffer by tho continued doprociation of silver, and the monoy-lendera there may oventually be over. como by tha genoral commeroial intorosts which will domand an futernational standard of value. Though the Intornational Bilver Conferenco may start ont without Evngland, Gormany, or Holland, it Ie not unlikely that an intornational agrecment including the other Groat Powers will induce these Gov- ornments to apply for admission, oud to join in nn ngreed standard, witk such limitations ofcolnnge na each nation may chooso to mako for {taolf with tho consont of the others, ——— THE EDISON-HUGHES CONTROVERSY, Wo kiavo alrendy commonted upon soma of the gonornl issues involved in tho contro. vorsy botweon Mr, Entsox aud Prof, Huowues, of London, ns to the priority of invontion of tho ipstrumonta for magnifying sound nnd measuring minoto dograos of heat. Bince thoso commeonts wore made, we havo seon a atatement by Mr. Eprson himself, in roply to an article in the Now York Z'ribuns sot- ting forth the claims mado by Prof, Huanes, which sheds a great doal of light upon tho subject, and notonly establishes Mr, Eptson’s claim to priority, bul makes it very probable that the Hucanes discovery is a atraight-cut stonl, which was made possible by the breach of contidonco of ono of Mr. Epison's pro. tended, treacherons frionds. Tho two improvements in preparing the earbon buttous for the telophouno claimod by Prot, Huones, namely, tho motallization of thio earbon by plunging it into mercury and tho division of tho carbon intoseveral picces, Mr. Epmox clalms ara not original with Prof. Huauzs, Tho metallization of carbon by mercury batha he employod Inst year in i telephone exporiments, and likowlso fur. nished memoranda of tho reanlts to Mr, QGronoe B, Prrscorr, tho electriclan, for his forthcoming work upon *‘The Hpenking "Telephone,” also for artiolos contributed by him to the Journal of tAe T'elegraph in April lnst, 'Tho othor improvemont, tho subdivis. fon of carbion, was also repeatedly tested by bim in bis telophone exporimoants fn the pros- onco of tho late Mr. Onton, tho illustrative rawings of which e still lins in hin posses- glon, ‘Thusmauch for the improvements, Ax to tho principlo ‘itsel? which Prof, Hvouzs claims to have discoversd, namely, that car. bon Las tho property of ohang- ing its veslstanco with pressure, aoud that ‘“theso effects naro duo to a dilforonca of pressure ot the difarent points of contact,” Mr. Eorson agaln con. fronts tho English Professor with tho enun- ciatlon of this very priuciplo as a discovery of lus own in his spplication for a patent for “an .improvement iu speaking tolo- graphs,” dated July 20, 1677, and pablished olght doys later in tho Ssientifis: American, Mr, Prescorr also rocorded this discovery months ago in the volumo above mentioned, sud in tho following lunguage; By con. stant oxporimouting, bowever, Mr, Epmox at lengeys made tho discovery that, when proporly prepared, oarbbu posseased the rec. warkable property of clhanging Its rosist. aace with prossure, oud that tho ratios of theso ohanges, wmoveover, corresponded ex. aotly with tho pressurs,” Mr. Eptson does tiot stop here, but goos on, and with equal cirtaluty demolishea the romaining claimy modo by Mr. Hucnes. Tho latter baving alloged his disusa of the disphragm, and that * the variations iu the strongths of the cur- ronts flowlng are produced simply and solely by tho direct offect of tho sonorous vibra. tions,” Mr. Enison quotes tho followlng from Mr, Puxicorr’s book, which also shows that the discarding of the diaphrogma is biv mvoation: il In the Iatest form “l tranamitter which Mr, Buiwox has lntroduun}, he vibrating disphragm ¢ dono away with altouéther, it baviag been found that wuch better revulty are ubtained when 8 rigid lnlllxhi‘flun;u which tao vibratlug du wious tu the prossurv, and which progubly results from ‘tardy dawpeulug of the vibratiuns aftcr hey- ing beun once atarted.

The Iast claim made by Prof. Huanes, that Lo has discovered o modification of hia in- strumont, the microplione, by which he ean moasuro minute degroes of hoeat, is disposed of by Mr. Episox quits as effoctunlly s nll tho others, Upon this point ho testiflos that this discovory was annonnced by him in the Washington Star of the 19th of April last, and that he sont 8 copy of thia paper to Mr. W. IL Prexce, Government telographer, of London, who ia intercsted with Prof. Hvonxs in his alleged discaveries, and that ko lLias poaitive evidence it renched him bo. fore the microphone was prosented to the Royal Society by Huanes, as nn extract was read from it in Huanes' address to tho So. cloty. Mr. EptsoN makes ont, as will be seon, & very strong case for himeclf na the prior in- ventor or discoverer of every principlo and application set forth by Huares, and has o right to clnl? the glory as woll as the omolu. ments of his accomplishmonts. - Unfortu- nately, the want of nn intornational patont law, by which an inventor can complotely protoct himself in foroign countries, may cut him off from tho latter, but it crunot strip from him tho renown which'attaches to bis discoverics. Tho clronmstancos of this caso nro peculinrly nggravating, na they show that Mr. Epmon's righta as an inventor have not only boen violated abrond, and this is not tho first instanco, but that thoy wore violated through n branch of confldontinl fricndship by & man to whom hq bad in- trusted tho soorots of his work. As to this, Mr. Eptson says: Mr. W. II. Przece, clectriclan to the London ost-Office Department, wnu tn this cuintry in the carly part of last year, and vislted my laboratory, 1 freely showed him tho exporiments I was then making, Includinyg the principle of tho carbon tel. sphone and the variabllity of conducting powar in many substances under pressurs.

The former are the views of tho Greaser revolationists; the Iatter are the views, for the most part, of those who have penctrated the slle methods and villaluous purpose of tho Greasors, Wo presume the Washington editor will contend that the former are ‘‘in accord with truth ond righteousncss,” while the Chi- cago cditor calls his collaborateur a lfarand a knave, and {nsist that tho views of the fourth page alome are ‘4o accord with truth and rightcousness,” Meanwhile the public will probably conclude that the policy of the paper is suggestea by a merconary desire to wheedlo both partigs, aud Lhat there ls no gonulnesin- cerity to mny sentiment.
