The five.cont nickel piace, intrinsically ‘worth not more than one cent, circenlates for its nominal value, (Ben, not merely bocause it bears o Govornment stamp, but mainly be- cause it {s redeomable in law{nl money,~thnt in, in gold or silver coin, orin gresnbacks whick gre Government promises to pay gold or silver coin. But even this redovinable feature about the minor colns wonld not be enongh to keep them in eirculntion nt their nomiunl valuo if the Government should un. dertako to issue minor colus by the hundreds and thousands of millions. As n matter of foct, thetotal coinageof five.cout nickol pieces down to the end of the fiscal yoar of 1877 wns only £5,773,000, We have no information as to how mauy havo been redeemed under the law, or how many have been lost aud deatroyed, but if the total amount issued were now outatanding it would bo an average of less than three nickels to each in. bobitant of, tho United Btatos. The simple fact is that the minor nickel coins ars 8 yory oconvenient and satisfnctory provision for a token coinage, which is an easontinl of every systemn of finance ovor invouted. They serve for purposcs of emall chonge, and their nominal value is guaranteed, whataver their intrinsic valuo may bo, bacause thers aro atriot provisions ngainst o reduudancy n thelr issue, becauso tliey aro accopted in oxchange for postage-stamps, aud, finally, beeause tho Government s plodged to re- deom them at their face value, In this Int. tor respoct they aro even superior to the sub- sidinry silver coins, which the Government doos not undortako to redoem. Tho Govern- went stamp, therefore, cuts no fignro at all in dotermining tho standard valuo of tho minor ooins, oxcapt ms it proftcta thom ngainst counterfoiting and limits their issuo. 1f the mullot-headed MourToN, who wanta to represent in Congress the fat-serip lunatics of tho Fifth Michignn District, will guaran. toa for the *‘absolute” pnper currency the 8amo conditions as thoso which surronnd the issuo of nickels, ho and his party will on. oounter no opposition, It will be nocossary in that case to provide for Govornment re- Llnz:ptinn on domand, and for: limitipg tho isduo within the eapucity of the Government to rodeomi. This is tho presont greenback system, supplemented by the Resumption got. But this is not what MouvrTox and his follow-fools want. They claim tbat the Govornment may go on stamping worthless pleces of paper without lmit and without any provision or thought of redomption, nnd thot the Governmont will be able to forco the circulation at their mnominal valua of those worthless bits of paper by its “flat” alone, of which the Govornment stamp would bo tho symbol. It s just possi. blo that this nss Mourtox, after having the Iaw oxpluined to him, may not have brains enough to sce the difforonce batween 1ninor colug, isanod in a limited amonnt for small. chiango purposes, with rodemption absolutely guaranteed in logal-tender by tho Govorn- mont, and the proposed flat-scrip to ba issuod "in thousands of milllons without limit and nover to bo rodecmed in anything, I ho shall succeed in bringing his mastor mind down to this practical distinction, he willdiscovor what a consmmmate and inexcus. able donkey ho has mnde of bimself by insti. tuting s compnrison hotweon the nickel colna aad tho proposed absolute fint-serip.

Down there an clec. tion is not a choice between Democrats and Ropublicans, but a choico between the rospective wings of the Democratio bird, Democracy in Missogri has ons very strong wing, which carries the ex-Confedorate por- tion of tho party, whilo the other wing, though a wenk one, is strong enough to carry all the Unionism that forms part of the party. It would be more proper, por. haps, to say that the Unionism of the Demo- cratioc party in Miseouri is not and hins nover beon so striking as to atiract any attention, The torm more correctly describes that por- tion of tho Demooracy who never bore arms In the Confoderato army. Oneof tho usos which the Domocrats iande of their re- turn to powor in that State was to eloct Gon, Cocaer to the United States Senate, Gon.
