SECRETARY BHERMAN'S MOTIVES, There is & legend that an old end exper]. oncod Judgo adrised n young man wha had just attained the dignity of the ermine nev~ eorto give his reasons for any docision Lo might make. Porlaps Becrelary Brrnaax was procluded from following the spirit of this advice by the torms of Mr. Brek's reso. Intion, to which Lo has replied after consid- emble delay, but Lo must sulfer tho penalty of his infraction of the rule. Tho rosolu. tion was na follows: Jiesnleed, That the Sccretary of the Trensnry be, and ho fn hulcl»{{. directed 1o Inform the Senste what amount and denomination of silver coln hus bren recoivod jn payment of castoms ducs since the bexlnning of tho current flacal year, nnd whother or 1ot he has upplied tho stlver Coin 1o ro- coivail, in whole or in part, tu the payment of ig. tereat on the bonds or notes of the Uniled Stages, 1F it hind not been so -I;plh-sl to that purpose, siate the reason why if It bas been avplied to that ppr- Pposc In patt only, tu state what partlon has been to used, and on what character of obligation. Alao, that he be directed to inform the Senato tho amount of intorest he Jias patd on o bonds and notes of the United States wince the carrent flscal year began, and thy amount of sach interest o has paid fu wold and silver coin respectively, ‘I'hat portion of the Hocrutary's reply which gives the figures called for b not been tels- graphed, but we infer from tho explanation and apology which Mr, Suenaan makes that he has recoived n considorablo amount of sil- ver In paymont of customs dutles, but Ias pnid out nono of it for interest on the pblic debt. As Honator Decr's resolution reforrod pointedly to the law which requircs that the coin received for dutics sball ba set asido for the paymentof intereat aud tho Biuking Fund, this admission may mako the Bucretary somo trouble before the discusson is ended. In the meantiino, an examination of, his own ex- cuses for not using tho silver dollars for the payment of interest-conpons shows them to bo weak and unsatisfactory, and they erento n sorious doubt whether the Secrotary's sc- tion was really suggested by the motives ho oltes. Mon aro frequontly influenced by pur. poses which they will not admit even to themselves so long os they can fiud other pretexts to the same end. Tu poying out gold for interest on the pub- lio debt to tha exelusion of silver, Socretary Suxnuan says he has followed *“the practics of allowing tho public creditor tho option of the form aud denowination of money in which ko sball be puid.” ‘Thero never was such o practico ns this until Becrotary Sun. AN inangurated it; it is an absurdity, and no Qovernment or other largs dispenser of moneys would over dreas of maintaiuing it. Tt is only about flve years since the silver dollar, of tho very sama weight and fineness of the prosent allver dollar, was worth more than tho gold dollar, and it was then logal-tender and payablo in intorest on tho public debt a4 it is now, DId tho thon Hecrotary of the ‘Proasury giva tho publiy creditor the option of demauding either silvor or gold? Would not overy shrowd buaincss-man have exacted silver, which he could then have sold uta brewmium over gold, if such had boen the rulo? 'Fho faoct {s, that thera lias never been auy such practico, and not even n procedent for tho impracticable and unreasonable ex. tension to avery creditor of the right to dis- ¢riniuato botween various kinds and donom- inatious of coln ond demand such as may ba most convenlont aud valusble to him for the thue belug. Becrotury Buenaax snys that the * mani- fest objeot " of the act romonetizing silver 1 that * gold coins and tho staudnrd silver dol. lare shall Lo malutained ot par with cach other,” If this be admitted, how can the Hecrotary's “policy bo reconcilod with the theory that hie has sought to exedute the law honestly ? Mr, Bnzuan can searcely Lave %o poar an opinion of public intelligerco as to supposa be can muko the peoplo beliove the silver dollar can be best kopt at par with gold by piting it up iu the “T'reasury vaults, Huch freatmont 18 simply in obadience to the dictation of the Eastern mouey-luuders, who ook to dupreciate it by refusing it recogal. tion as current funds, It fu & confession o the part of tho Government that a portion of the coin which it has mado a legal-tender is of less valuo than another portion, and it places the Goverquiont in the vidiculous atti. tudo of nullifying its own laws aud partially repudiating it own currency, 3 Nor will it avail Becretary Suesarax to set up, 88 o has dous befure, that be could not pay out the sllver dollars in redemption of interest.coupons . withont discriminating, xince thero was not enough of those dollarsto poy alithe interest, There can be no question a3 to disorimiuation, in the first place, for the Awerican silver dollar is worth as much i law und in fact, and will purchuse ss much #t bowe or abroad, as the American gold dollar; ju the nexst place, the Secretary could have paid out part silver and part gold to all creditors iu cqual proportion, va long ey the sdver heldoont, eud thereby could buve AMUSEMENTS.

This gave the home producers the possession of the mar. ket; it enabled them to pay high vents for land; but, in faot, tho protection was de. signed for tho beneflt of the owners of tha land, and was of no practical benefit to tho farmers. Under thissystem tho land-owners collected enormous rents, but the peoplo of Eungland hnd to pay heavily for food, The scarcity and high price of food was national. 1t renched every household, It necessitatod high wages und scant employment, Tho unomployed and starving people becatie turbulent, and it was only aftor the most extromo sufferivg that an Engliah Ministor lhiad the cournge to defy the landed intorest, and propose the repeal of the Corn laws and the adimission of cheap food. Tho polioy thus inaugurated was the opening of the giant trade of England with all tho world, The productions and especially tho raw matorials of tlio wholo earth were invited to Fngland. Trnde was oponed with evory part of the ‘hnbitabla. globe where an oxchango of commoditiea could Lo obtained, England became the great and universal purchnser, psying for them in hor own manufactures, and transporting them to and fro in her own ships, London becamo the markot in which other countries purchased the raw materials for their industries; sho purchased theso {from the producers, and paid for thom with her own manufactures, and conld sell them cheaper thau they could Lo obtained elsc. whore.
