WEDNESDAY how valuelers to the mono.motallio nnlions wonld Le nbundant and in use, and thero boing no extrordinary demand for gold, it being in comnion uso with silver, it would bo abundant §nstead of belng scarve. The folly of mono-metaliism is now strik- Ingly illustrated by the condition of affAirs iri thosa conntries shich hava adopted it. Not one of tho States which havo of late yearste- monetized silvor has been ablo to obtain the Rold to take the placo of the discanded nilver. 'Tho rosult has been the debasement of sivet, and the debhsement of ihe valud of cvers form of property under the seareity and high valuo of gold. Even Eugland 8 o drained of gold that tha utmost exertion of her gront bank is cesentinl to preserve a sofficiency to teot the exigonelen of curront husiness YFrance and tho United States, the only large Li.metallic States, are not experiencing any of the perploxities And davgers which beset the mono-metallic hationa, ‘They have oach a fargo sutplus of gold; they have n ailver coinage ahd a gold colnnge, And, whila En. gland and Gormany hava only gold as legal- tender nud a scarcity of that, Franco and the United States have both coins, both n legal- tonder, and no scarcity of eithor. ‘The old story that, It silver wns remonetized, every dollar of gold wduld leave tho country, 1 disproved by the fact that France, where all vor is tho ondinaey eurrenoy ot tho éountry, )ins more gold thag England. The stock of gold in the Unlted Statos is now greater than at ooy time in our national history, and if thero be any acarcity of silver It is duo to the’ inability of tho mint to ooin it, In the light of afl these facts the peoply of tho United Btates may rejoics at their Buccess in compelling Congress to remone- tizo silver. Hond it not been done, and gold had been left aa the solo metallis currency, all iden of resumption twould have been long pince abandoned, and we would have becn struggling along with groenbacks worth 75 cents or less, and secmingly farther awny from speoie payments than wo were five years ngo.

Tha whole question lies in s nutshell, By the Treaty af Washington we werd geatted cor. taln rights in hed wators, ~'The Marquis of Bartanuur, speaking for tho English Govern- tnent, now says that those rights, guaranteed by a solemn internntional compnet, are anb- ject to limitations imposed by the local Iawa of Newfonndland, about which limitation not one word s mald in tbo troaty, Upon gen- eral ptincipler, this (s mn ontragd and n gross violation of good faith, 1ad ns it §s now, it mny bo even waree harenftor.

Wa assumo from the reports which are at hand that the propotition submitted Ly the County Board for a now issne of $750,000 bonds has beon apprbved by n majority of the volos cast on the question. If this is truo, the rocult is fhaloly dus to a shrowd and unscrupulous munipulation of the Dem. ocratic tickets. The words, *.gainst the County Bonds," were printed at the bottom of the Democratio ticket, but thoy wero re- moved fally an inch'fgm the main portion of tho ticket contaisiog tho words, * For tha County Bonds." %/fhis modo of separat- ing the **Apuinst” from the rest of the tickot mode it an efby,matter to tear off the lower part, which lofbithe ballot o vole in favor of the bonds; \{lt, a3 o matter of fact, a largo numher of Alie Domocratio tlckets were thus matilated B@fore they wers placed in the hands of the ticket-poddlers. Whilethe Republican_tickots, ‘:{Aw printed . with botl W FRor” and * Against,” the'words were in small typo at tho Ldtfom, and probably a largo number of votors failed to scratch ont oither one or the otfff¥; tho eflect in every such case would bouthe loss of tho voto, Thero in reeson to bofftve tLat the Tepub- lican Committeo ndopl‘td this obscure method of putting the question, with the knowledge that it would result it ¥ho loss of mavy votes that would otherwiso havo been caat against the schemo, and knowlfig and secrotly desir- ing that tho Domocrats might then succeed in carrying it through fi tho iuterout of the Ring. Last yoar, when tho ballots were all fairly printed, tho proffosition to issue bonds was voted down Ly over two to one, though even then nehrly one-half of all tho votes cast were lost by the fallurs to scrateh off either “ Fop " or “ Against.” It is poasiblo that eome peoplo may have voted for the 1ssue of bondsin good faith, because they had been porsuaded that work on tho Court-House would céme to a stand-still unloss the toney were borrowed to cantinno it; but the resl reason of the majority for the proposition 1s ns wq have stated it. The rosult amounts to an approval of the extrav- sgant and Hlegal courve which the County Board has taken, if the bond.issne has been spproved; for the Boird, by excesding the appropristions and voting ‘‘extras,” has contracted an unlawful' floating debt which in Fraoce, which hns not yot suflicient age and development to risk mistakos, and it is to bo hoped that better counsels may pre- wall.

Germany, after the receipt of the Freuch indemnity, was overwhelmed with coin, and fell into tha snnrs of having an ex- clusive gold comnage. Iu tho full tide of her 1ilitary glory and plstiora of monoy, Ger- wany abandoned silver, but, even to this day, hns not been able to obtain gold enough to take up her [silver thalers, which araatill a legal-tender in Germany. Though not able to take up ber silver,Germapy has boen able to ereate nn extraordinary: general domand for gold and a depreclation of silver. Somo of the smaller States of Eatope adopted the snmo policy, and, as t was ‘Aiscoverod some years loter, the United States also domono- tizedsilver withoutattragting publioattontion, The dopression of -trade all over Europo, and the ddvancoment of gold, because of its scarcity, bas roduced values of silver and of all commodities be- yond all precedent. The great oustomers of Fogland are mlver-using countries. India, China, and Japan, and ‘Sonth Amorica all employ silver, and not gold. The appro- ciation of the valno of gold and the deprecia- ‘tion of <tHo value of silver havo occasioned immense lossoa in India which bLave pro- duced failnres in England. Goods sold in England at gold values hiaveto be paid for in Iudia by the purchass with silver of gold ex. change on London, The rate of exchange Lins boen 8o great—the margin of difference between silver and gold hsa been so wido— that it has destroyed trade and baukrupted tho merchantsof India. Mono-metallism hns destroyed England's best customer, re- duced her Indin debtors to Insolv- ency, broken up the market for British goods, sud produced so many failures in Great Britain as to almost causs & panie, London was once the great markot for silver, Tho surplus silver of the world found its way to Loadon, and thence was distributed to all parts of the earth, It was soattered as 8o much merchandise, and En. gland exchanged it at a profit for the natural products of other lands. Hore, {oo, the policy of monc-wetatliem has been fatal. It hias debased the valuo of silver aud advanced tuat of gold. Tho silver has no market; Krny can now sympathize with Tooes. There has alwoys n sad fatality attended the support of the Chicago Timea, ] o The Bible iuouion E'r'\'e;fi;;'cn, Conn,, has assumed a newr and eomawhat curlots phase, It will be rememuered that a fow months ago o very exclted election was hetd o that cly for members of the' Behool Board, the ssue being tha rellglous exerclsea in the achools, which re- sulted (n the election of a majority of tha Bible candidates. Sioce tha clectlon a committee of Protestants, composed of es-President Woot~ sEY, of Yale, the Rev. Dr. Bacow, the Rev. Joux E. Toby, snd the Rev. Dr. Hanwaon, wera [nvited, to meet with thao Cotholic clerzy- men to drawup somo form of roligious cxer- cises which would suft both and might be sub- mitted to the Séhool Board for mdoption, The effort to compromise, of course, resulted In fail- ure. Thereupon they agreed to the following plan® Tn eass the Cathollc children numbered lees than 80 per centaf the number of any scndol, the toacher or one of the papils should read one of about thirty selectiuns_ of Scriptures, the Lord's Prayer, snd the Ten Commandments, the schaol malntaining a respeetiul silence; but in case the Catnolic shildsen nunbored 30 por cont, they were to b perinitted 10 withdraw toanather room, and b sclves uso tho "mn[fy." inclnding _tho Salutatron (** Iail, ete.), and the Avostien’ Croed, the re- ot the school holding the other exerclses.

HONEST JOHN HOFFMAN, . The people of Chicago have vindicated the intogrity, personal and official, of Honest Jonx flovwaaN. The people of Chicago® have anewered the libels, tho scandalous defamation, the vulgar abuse, and coarse, cowardly brutality of tho Chicago Times. Mr. Horran's vindiention is especinlly complete. His opponent, ordinarily, was ono of the strongest men in the city. The sbuse of Horyman and the sup- port of Kesx by the Times was fatal to the Domocratio caudidate. Never in tho history of even local politics did any newspaper ever descend to such depths of vulgarity and such infamous calumny o8 was resorted to by tha Chieago Zimes. No wou- dor the popular indignation was aroused, and that on outraged nnd insulted peaple rebuked the scandalons sheat by burying all its can. didates in overwholming defeat. Mlio lrish, to their credit, have resented the indignity put upon them.
