Thoro is o story told of an itinerant cirous proprietor in Germany, who had beon an- nouncing final performances, ono nftor tho othor, until the people no longor put any confidonca in such annowncoments; in order to regain this lost confidence and secure one more good house, le emphasized his advor- lisement os “positively the vory last per- formance, by G—d!" ‘Tho Democratic enu- cus hss been reduced to pretty much tho same extremity by the numorous Inst ditches at which it promisod to make a final stand, and now it hns krcked down to positively the very last ditoh, ag the extromista would have the country beliove. Novertholess, a resolu. tion was voted down in cauciy which notified the President that Congress would adjourn sine die without voting appropriations for tho United States Marshals uulest he should sign the little bill to which ,thoir political scheme is now fnstencd. ‘Ehis action indt- cates that, if necossary, the Democrats would jump ovor still another ditch, and roduco tha starving-out policy to still moro diminutive proportions. Probably thia will not bo necessary, ‘Tho Presidont will mgn tho bill making tho nocessary appropriations for tho princtpal expenses of tho courts, and will veto the little bill containing the objectiona- blo political rider and tho appropriations for the Marshals. Tho adjournment of Con- gress without providing for the Inttor would not necessitate the closing of tha courts, though it would be an nunoyance to the Government and an injustice to the Mar- shala, and honca the Prosident would proba. bly not call another sossion, if the Domo- ernta porsuade themselves ‘that this will bo the course of ovents, wo presume that the Prevont atand will bo tho very Inst ditch ; othorwine we havo no doubt that they would bo ready to whittle down thoir schomo to a still finer point. “Ho who datlies is 9 dastnrd, and he who doubts is damnod," or words to, that effect, was tho emphatic way in which Mr, Brack. BUEN announced the Democratic intention, “to live or dio, sink or swim, survive or perish,” by their original mcnnacos to atarva out tho army, tho executive, legislative, and indicinl branches of the Government, ‘Two votoos wero enongh to secure a completa abandonment of tho designe ns to the army ; one voto induced a reconsideration og far ny tha executive and legislative branchos of tho Government wore concerned; and, finally, a fourth voto lias forced the Domocrats to pro- vido for all the judicial expenses without restriction, oxespt tho pay of the Marshals, who will be compelled to “ shin” along and look to a doficioney Lill for their ultimate componsntion. ‘Tha Party managors started ont to cover territory as broad aa the vast domainof tho Government, and thoy have yielded ground stop by stop until they aro huddled togethor upon a little pateh senrcely Inrge enough for thom to stand on. Wo prosumo thoy would endoavor to shrink still moro if they folt it’ to be neces sary. hoy atarted ont to make themeclvos terrible; they havo ended by making thom. solvos ridiculous, ‘The revtriotion fastened upon tho Marshals’ Appropriation bill is more contradictory aud infamous than any of tho formor rostrictiona, inasmuch as it proposes to inalto it 8 ponal offenso for any officer of the Government to spoud money or enter into contracts for are rying ont the provisions of tho “lection lnw. ‘That is to say, the ruling faction in Congress, lacking the constitutional mojorl. ty to rapeal certain Inws withont tho Prosi- dont’s assent, aka this same Prosldont to concur in making it a miadomennor, punish. ablo by nlarga fluo, for any of hig subor- dinates {to execute certain Inws that remain in full forco, Was there ever a inoro prepostorous piece of legislation pro. posed?

This is the disgracoful proposition actually mado by tho Democrats in thoir latest restriction, ‘Thoy could scarcoly oxpeot Prosident Tares to sign avy such bill as that unless they re. garded him ay at once knayo and fool, and the American people may woll be thankful for having o President who wil! prevent so infamous aschemo from going upon the atatute-booke, ‘l'ho Demooraty thomsolyes would scarcely bo foolhardy onough to pro. pose ft, if they thought there was ony dan. gor of his approval, ‘Tho final result of this long strugglo is now at hand.

The formation in this city of a poworfal Bilvor-Money Loaguo has furnished the advo. cates of an oxolitstvo gold currency nn oppor. tunity to parado again their stale and throad- bnro objections to silver, Tholr objection aa atatod by tho gold-bug organ is, that, when tho two motals, silver and gold, do not bear the samo relative valua {n the form of bullion that they doin the formof coin, thon that which bas tho lost rolative value in bullion becomes inforior, aud, boing tho cheapor curronoy, the dearor ono will dopart; and theroforo, silver boing of loss valuo as bullion than it ig os coin, tha reault must bo, that thoro will bo no motallio monoy in this coun- try other than silvor. It is of no woight that this objection has boen rofuted timo and again; the opponents of aailver curroncy ropont it over aud over, and continuo to sponk of silyor dollars ns really ‘*8i-cont” dollars, ‘Chore aro cortain facta in this mattor which these people peraistontly ignore, and ono of theso is, that thoy comparo the valuo of demonotizedsilver with that of monotized gold; thoy fitst de- stroy by demonatization tho money valno of the ono motal, thereby incronsing tho money value of the olher metal, and then making tho monetized tho standard by which to measure tho value of the demonotized. Gold and silver constitute the metallia mtotloy of tho-world, Neither, alone, is xufiicient to moot the wants of maukind, aud of tho two gold is tho senrcor and lose suflciont in supply. ‘Lo domonotize silvor reduces, to the extont of demouotization, the nggrogate of metallic money, and to the extont that gold is made tho exclusive currency its value is enlarged. The domonotization of silyor croates an increased necessity for gold, which, boing scarce and inanfiiciont in supply, ob. tains on onlarged purchasing power, nud tho goldites thon making gold at this cxtraordi- nary valno tho standard, moasuro thereby tho value of silver. ‘Tho demonetization ‘of silver is ncoldental, and all that is neoded to restoro it to its ordinary value ng compared with gold is to ropair the acoidont, and tho result will follow. Silver waa demonatized iu thia country not becauso it was not at par with gold, but in order to give gold an additional valuo, Germany, acting atthe same time and under probably the same influences, demouotized silver, Tho incrensed demand fur monotized gold to take tho placo of the demonotized silver gaye ndditioun! valno to the ono at the cost of the other, No one will quostion that tho romonotization of sil. ver by tho United States nud Gormany will restore the valuo of silver ng bullion to what it was before the change, and lence tho ob- ject of tho Chicago Silver League, to pro. imote the completo restoration of silver, isin the general intorest of mankind and of tho revival and extension of tho world’s com- merce, As tho domonatization of allvor reduced the demand for it, so the remonotization of ail- ver will restore the demand for it, The act of 1878 did not restoro tho uso of silver ag monoy. ‘Tho bill just defeated in Congress, knowd asthe Wansen. bill, wonld havo ro. stored tho use of silver, would havo fur- nishod an unlimited market for it, and of ne- coxsity would have raised -its valuo as bull. ion to its valua ns monoy, ‘Tho arguinent that gold will not circnlato with eilvor as cnrroncy, because tho gold value of silver ns bullion is not equal to tho value of coin, isono of thoso half traths which decoive no ono nat willing to bo do. ceived. The “dollar” of the United States has beon always and is now 4 spceifiod woight of silver or a specified weight of gold, Hithor of these is a legal dollar, and noattempt by law or otherwise has over boon mado to make tho silyor dollar equal in gold to the gold dollar, or the gold dollar equal in silver to tho silver dollar, In point of fact, their bullion valnes hava never been equal; ono or the othor las always been atapromium. ‘The very theory and funda. mental principle on which tho bi-motallic curronoy rools is that this inequality of tho motals, ‘owing to fomporary causes, may work no derangoment of the values of any other property or of debts, because bi-motallism uocuros to the country tho option of paying in that curroncy which at tho moment may Lappon to ba tho cheaper. When tho cur. rency is bi-motallic thoro can bo no “cor- nors ” on gold nor any speautation in allyor, Debts may not be advanocd 5,10, or 20 per cont by the advanco in value of tho metallic nrouoy, nor tho value of property reduced to a liko oxtent by the doolino of tho ourronoy, Such variations are impossible undar tha bi. inataliic system, ‘Tho one metal regulates tho other, Whon in tho onrlior days of tho Republic the gold coin was tho doarest, sil- ver, being the cheaper, was tho univorsal money of the United States, - Then the gold coin was mado the choapor, nnd the silvor became tho donrer, and then tho cheaper gold camo into gonoral uo, Whon, ognin, in 1875, gold bacamo tha doaror and silvor tho choaper, and tho demand for silvor coin was mado, it was discoverod that silvor had beon surroptitiously demonetized, and for tho firat timo in tho history of this country the Amar. ienn people were deprived of tho option to pay iu the choaper coin, ‘Thi option, as it oxisty in avery country whero tho law of bi-matalliam permits, opor- ates effectually to- provont any depreciation of the current value of olthor coln, and equally to provont the advance in value of cithor coin, or to force ofthor one out of gone oral uso, In Franco, Belgium, baitzorland, aud Itaty tho silyor coin, though 6 por cont lesa Iu bullion valuo than that in the United, Btatos, circulates froely, and in what would be considorod in this country enormous amounts, but it has not expelled the gold, which a as abundant in Frauoe as it is in England, whoro it ia the oxclusive metallic money, If gold advances in value, silver, which is abundant, immediately takes its place, and, undor tho option, silver is used in paymonta, Tt is of uo advantage to oxport the gold, because the gold is worth as much in France as olsowhero and no moro, and, a3 silvor is ot par with gold, the two curronclea have an oquality'of yalue and of purchasing power, Either may got scarce and riso in value, or become abundant and decline in Yaluy, to the serious loss and derangement of financas in thove countrics which have but the ouo motal in uso; but nosuch fluctuations or conyulsious and fuancial disasters such have visited Groat Hritain and Gormany cau affect Franco or any other country where bi-metallisin is the rule, aud whon the option to pay in either gold or silver is in the hauds of the pooplo, ‘This option to pay iu the cheaper money enables Englund to kecp in circulation ot THE.

It is not too much, to say that every timo Mr. Canrzn “Hannrtox, Mayor of Chicago, opens his mouth ho puts his foot into it. His ‘nddress to the Northwestern Sharp- shooters’ Association on Wednesday proved to bo no excoption -to this. gonoral rule; on the other hand, he has never put hia foot so for in before, not evon in his lotty apostrophe to tho eagle and his windy de- fongo of tho Marine Band, This Assoola- tion is composed of intelligont German gentlemen from all parts of tho Northwest, oxperts in tho use of tho rifle, who have come hero’ for asocial contest of skill and gonerat recreation, hey aro not riffraff to be tickled with n straw, or boys to be amnsod with twaddle, but gentlomen who wero worthy of n cordial and dignified ro- coption, such ns Chicago is nccuntomed to accord to hor guosts, As gentlomen, they showed thelr good breeding by paying their respeots to tho city in the porson of its Mnyor, and tho Mayor addressed thom in tho namo of tho city, withont saying a word to them that Chicago would like to have sald, If tho voice of tho intolligont people had beon spoken by the Mayor. ho wonld havo dwelt upon the value of sharpshooting, not ouly ag n mattor of personal akill, bet tn ita rolntions to the good of society and for the genoral defonso, Ho would havo commended these feativals,-not nlona for their pleasant recrontion and beneficent influcncos upon health, but also because they train the young to uso arms in a manly and proper fashion, not as the bully uses his bludgeon or pistol, but with skill and courage to de- fond onr inetitntions, to protect pencoful poople against unruly mobs and the criminal olnsses when thoy become tlotous, and to maintain tho freodom of thoir country againat aggrossors npon tho battle-field, whero the sharpshooter always ling the placa of honor, ‘The Mayor of Ohicngo might havo minglod very dignificd rontimont with valintlo ad. vieo, and gent his, visitors away in a very plonsant mood; but instond ho indulged in a tedious recital of his infantile sqnirrel-shoot- ing that was half twaddlo and the other half ‘braggadocio of the silliest description, pro- faocd with the remnrkablo sunonncomont that “We aro a people living in a large aity, but wo all romombor that it was bnt tho othor day whon wo wore a wildoruoss, aud whon shorpshooters wore necessary to protect ur,” Doeq ho menn to infer that wo (tho People of Ohioogo) wore a wildornosa, or is it tho city that wasn wildernoss?

'Lho work of this oxtra session of Congross as bon to in- augurate an attompt to fight tho War ovor again, Evory effort in behalf of Stato su- premacy is on effort to denationalize the United States of Amorien, It was bad faith m the Confedornte caucns to renew this struggle, Acquissconco in tha results of the War was imiplicd in the restoration of tho Robols to full citizonship and the opportunity for regaining control of the Govornment, Bat tho chiof result of that war was tho vin- dication of Nationalism against tho assault of Btato Sovercignty. When the Confoder- ates signalized their return to powor in Qon- gress by n deliborato nud stubborn attempt ta-brenk down tho chief result and to do. ny the logic of tho War, then it was time for the bolievors in National Sovereignty to postpone reconciliation, which'had beon ono- nldod, till there should bo a more substantial evidenoo of good faith from tho other site, ‘To consont to the ropeal of the Election Inw would bo to nssont to the doctrine of State Sovoroignty, and to onable tho Confederates to elect tho noxt Prosidont and Congress by violont and fraudulent measeres which tho Natioual suporvision may bo nblo to provent, ‘Thon Stato Sovereignty would procead to undo all that the War for tho Union bas nc- complished, ‘Che constitutional amendments would bo ropealed or s0 construed by the Southern Statos, under authority of Congress and the Democratic President, a3 to be im- parative, ‘The United States Courts and tho United States army would bo reorgauized to sult the now dominion of tho old heresy. ‘Tlie South would come forward as an injured claimant for rostitution, ‘Tho Sovereign Stntoa would demand ponstons for the mon who served in tho Robol army ond reimbursement for tho lossca ineldent to the War, because war lad boon unjustly. wagod upon thom with tho purposo of bronking down thelr soveroignty. Then the Northern poople who do not Dolioyo in, and nro not willing to submit to, the fatal doctrine of Stato Sovereignty, would suo for reconciliation in vain at tho hands of a haughty, overbenring, seotional caucus, If thero has beon any docided chango in tho tone and sentiments of the Republican journals that spoke words of fraternal wel- como at tho Bunker Till rounion of Northern aud Southorn soldiers, tho Courier-Journal need uot look outside of the Confoderato cancus to flud tho true explunntion of that chango, It is not natural, oven if it wore desirable, for tho Northorn poople to submit ta the Confeilyrate attompt to override tho prinelplos which wore defended aud ostab. lished by tho triumph of the Northern arms, Nor ie it dosirablo thoy shontd do ao.
