It 1s not unlikely that tho weniory of Hacke 71T, 50 hratally murdered n year ago. may nerve the Orangemen to nphold their rights in a manner highly fatal to tho intolerant bigots who threaton so bloody an onslanght npon them. ‘Tho excitement in neighboring Oanndian cities s unprecodented.

'Thero waa no division in the Con- ventlon on the mbjoct of Gen., Wasnpunx's nomination, tho delegation from Ramsey County seconding the motion to maka it by acclamation. In 1874 Dr. S8rEwasT, of Bt.

AMOUNT OP HONEY IN 1805 AND 1878, The communication of Mr. Jaurs e Antaun ou currency contraction contains so many errors ond misconcoptions th€t we feel countrained to corroct a fow of tho largor ones, 1le starts with the sssumption that ¢ prices depend upon volume of money.” This ia a Lalf-truth, and, if nccopted as ap- plicable to the varying volumo of cnrrency in this country, Is exceedingly misleading., 1t is subject to soveral important excoptions and modifieations. It ean hardly be uccept- ed oven 06 o half-truth unless it is made to embrace nll civilized natious at the snme time, na the prices in each influences prices in oll tho others, In thenoxtplace, the Aind of curroncy called ““money " must be partic. ularly considored. 3 A common monctary standard must bo nsed a6 a moasure of prices before wo can have n bosis of compariron thereof. The world's standard is noln. When wo spenk of na articlo beiug warth so many ** dollars,” it menns In tho mind of nankind so many ounces of sllver or graing of gold,—nan ounce for a dollar (nenrly), or twenty.threo graiua of puro gold. In August, 1865, when, as Mr, 3lcAntnus ciphersout, there was 62 millions of *‘monay " in circulation, each dollar was only 69 conts. T'hat wan all tho holders could got for it {n coin or sterling exchange, aud that wes tho extent of ‘its purchasing power, Tha voluo of each nominal dollar at that in. flated perlod was less than that of thoe Ger. man thalor. It required $144 of paper ta equal 2100 of real monoy, ns the world re. garda monoy, and the total 962 inillons of paper curroncy and logal-tender bonds hod a coln valuo or purchasing power at that time of only 664 millions of coin or actual dollnra. ‘The othor 208 wnillions were gns or fiction, nud reprosentcd nothing in the way of ex. changeablo value, Prices in a particulnr uation, aa ours, for example, depend uot only on the Aind of money, whether ocoin or depreciatod, ns shown abovye, but on several other considern. tions, one of which is the tariff, and auother is tho distauce from the poiut of salo or pur- chaso of any commodity. ‘The tarif noto- rlonuly enhances the prico of imported goodly, and, to a greator or less extent, nil domestic competing wrlicles, Aud prices thus arbitravily aud artificlally inttated react upon the prices of othor things, excopt thoso of agricultural producty, whose prices are do- termined by tlo forelgn market. The cost of trunsportation from tho point of produc- tion to the place of salo, und the exponss of froight frow tho place of purchase of goods to the place of consumption, exorciso an fin- wenso 1nfluenco ou prices, regardless of the volumo of curroucy fu the couutry, ‘fhen comus 1n the dowivating power of the law of supply and dowand on tho prices of proper- ty.

ENGLAND'S NEW ALLIANCE. ‘The Europeau Uougress dvaws to a close, and will be regarded iu history as ono of the suost memorablo. gotherings of this century, It was not along war whose results have Leen serutinized; itdid not involve a gon. orul European question, bup was fought upon o local {ssuo; and ono of the combatunts waa u secoud-class Power, aud yut the aggregato of tha resnlts is well-ulgh gigantic.

Every mevement that was made points in this direstion. As for ey posasiblo, tho discontonted Christian populations have been eliminated from Tur- koy in Europe, 8o that Russin in the future wuy not have the pretext of Moslem intol. orance aud persecution for ugein uttacking ‘Turkoy.

The Eastern Question {8 an abstrnse problem nnd full of complicated sido-issues, but the esacnca of it, from the English standpoint, is the proteotion of India from some fature Russinn invasion, It fa nataral that England should apprehiond ench an invasion, for the natural growth of Russia is toward India, Bho bins alroady stretohed across the north- ern part of Asin to the Pacific. On the northenst slio in gravitaling toward Chinn; on the southwest, down through Khokand toward the Himalayas. With Asiatic Turkey under her protection, England will at oll times throaton Russin upon tho flank. The allinnce, therefore, in the first place, is o strong provision of security for Tudia, and this sccurity will be still furthor elrongthened by her railrosd systoms now in contomplation, the most colossal of which will bo tho rond across tho Syrinn Degort and down the Valloy of the Euphrates to tho hond of the Porsian Gnlf, tho first step townrds which has boon taken in tho occupntion of Oyprus.
