SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1880, SSE Fisk & Uvrer, of New York, have issued a elrculnr under date of Noy. 18, In which they argue that tho National banks can sub- stitute Sper cent Government bonds for 4s and 5s ns security for thelr elreulation, and make a Ilberal profit. It fs claimed that an Juvestment In 4 per cent bonds at 119 would still leave the bank a profit with money worth 4 per cent, The formula to sustain this proposition fs: $200,000 at 119 would cost. omerene $1) Interest thorcon would DO. .....+00+ ‘$90,000 circulution loaned at... + ‘Total income, Deduct taxes and Not incomo On $110,000... sseceesaenee 8,070 ‘With money worth & per cent to the bank the net income would be $7,425; with money worth 6 per cent tho Income would be $8,230, In the same way an investment In Govern:. ment 8s at par, with monoy worth 4 per cent, would yield o net incomo of $5,670 on $100,000; with money .worth 6 por cent the income would be $6,425; and with inoney worth 6 per cent tho income would be $7,239, Tho circular urges tho banks to give up thelr 6s aud Gs, and warns the banks that, “Inn: few years It will be as dificult to plek upa round Jot ot United States bonds atany price as it 1s now to find a lot of New York Stato bonds.” 3 eee Tue Ponitentiary system of Georgin was shown by the rival Democratic candidates for Governor jn the Jate election to be a dis- grace to humanity. Howard Carroll, the trustworthy correspondent of the New York Tunes, has now performed asimilar service forthe conyict-Inbor syatem of Misslssippl. In both States the Inws work a double in- justice to the black convilets, first by causing thelr sentence to long terms for trivial offenses, and, secondly, by Insuring thom the harshest treatment when In conflnement. Contractors are: offered & premium on cheap food, tnsufMlicient clothing, and unreasonable hours of labor; for anything that can bo made out of the prisoners above ne sinall monthly stipend Is clenr gain, In MississIppl the contractor pays $1.25 per month for cach convict and sub-lets them for $7 or $3, At this rote there is margin of $4 to $3 por month for the lessee, .who has the further advantage of being able to work his convicts harder and longer than free Invorers can be hired ta work, Instances have been known of conytets compelled to do heavy Inbor In tha swamps, standing all duy in water which came above thelr walsta; and they are commonly employed In woe healthy regions, which no other persons can bo dndueed to visit. While the Inws bear with such welght on poor negroes, they give a double advantage to rich white men, ‘The latter when convicted of murder or other erlmes are often rented out to their retatlves, who are compelled to give n bond of only $5,000 for sufe-keuping. lence every porson convicted of murder who has $5,000 to pay can, In effect, purchase his Hberty and leave the country, or stay at home surrounded by allthe comforts to which he hag been ac- customed, and pursue his profession with only” a wife for a jaller, So far us the hhogroes ava concerned the convict Iabor Bys- tem ls anuch worse than (at of slavery; so Turns ft affects white mon, It relieves thom of aven that pretense of Justica which was formerly supposed to provall in the Southern States, ‘Tur Controller of the Currency gives In lis Annual report n statement of the donomlna- tlons of the bank-notes and of the green- backs now ontstanding., ‘The Issue of bank- bills of less than five dollars hus been pro- Albited, but there are about $3,000,009 of ones and twas still outstanding, and probably the Rreater partot thom have been lost and de- stroyed. Certainly they are not now In elt culation.

It scoms to be predetermined thatSeeretary: Sherman will take a stand against thu fur- ther coluago of the standard silver dollar ex- cept upon the condition that the amount of metal shatl be suflletently Increased to give the silvor coin a bullion value equal with that of the legnl-tender geld dollar, ‘This is the position which the Secretary took when he found that it was not within his power to defeat the popular dentnd for the remonetl- zation of the silver dollar as a part of tho legal-tender money of the country. Lt {ndt- entes an obstinate purpose to eliminate silvor from the Jegul-tender fund by a process more seeretiye than demonctization, but equally effective. ‘The defect in tho argument made by Sec retary Sherman and other goldites Is, that they do not atlow for the value given the stl- ver dollar by the Government colnage there: of, and the Inw of the Nation which makes It equal with all other money recognized by the Government for a Jawfut discharge of debt, ‘Tho legat-tonder paper of the country may be said to have no intrinste value, but It is redeemably in coin and is lawful tender; tho allver dollar has one vatue if melted into the bullion of commerce, and another nga legal- tender coin of the United States. Tho American silver dollar has precisely tho same purchasing power as gold, and will pay exnetly the same amount of debt at any thne or place. Foreign commercial nations are elnd to get hold of it at par with gold, beenuse it fs to them ns good ns gold for trade and commerce with the United States. Ifence the American standard silver dollar [3 worth 100 cents as noney everywhere. ‘hero is no renson or necessity for changing Its welght, It contains more silver in comparl- son with the gold dollar than tite silver coin of any othor nation, ‘Tho practical weakness of the Sherman Plan for increasing the weight of the Ameri- can silver dollar is best exposed by the fact that thera are more than $1,000,000,000 of sllver coin of the different nations of Europe which passes current with gold coln, though it has less intrinsic value than tho American silver dollar. The proportion of the Amerl- can silver dollar to the American gold dollar Is 16 ounces of tho former to 1 ounce of tho latter, while the relative proportion of allyer and gold colns elsewhere Is ns 1534 to-l, Franco and the Latin Union have $00,000,000 of silver Iegal-tender on this basis; there are $100,000,000 more In Ger- many and among the various countries on the Continent of Europo; and nearly $75,- 000,000 In the British Isles. All this silver coln haga less weight in proportion to the gold coin of corresponding legal-tender or current value than thatof American stand- ard silver, In the language of the Mining Record, * Wo give a greater welglt of silver for 100. cents In gold than ts given by any other of the great commercial nations of tho world,—2 greater welght by 3,06 por cent.’ This statement ought to satisfy the most exacting moralist or soutimentalist. ‘There is anothor and thore practical view of the question. Neither Secretary Sherman nor any other living man can foretell what the bullion relations between gold and silver witl be in the future, Those relations are constantly varying. A few yenrs ngo, before the German and American demonetization of silver, the amount of silyer in the American coin wns excessive, and tha sliver disappeared from the country, ‘If 10 por cent should be added now to the amount of metal In tho standard silver dollar, it might not be but a fw weeks or a few months before that coln would havea bulllon valuo In uxcess of “tho fegal-tender value of tha gold dollar, which would drive the former out of clreulattua,, Congress ean- not change the bullion . stations of gold and silver colng frum day to*day, nor ean tho mints of this country porform the perpetual recoluage service Which such changes would require, The outlook Indicates a steady en- hancement in tho bullion value of silver, Certainly the gold product of the world Is deerensing, ‘The Amerlean imines, which formerly ylelded from $50,000,000 te $60,000,000 of gold annually, now produce only about $25,000,000, ‘The Australian product haa run down from abot $87,000,000 to $17,000,000 per year. Germany will cortalnly retain all the allver caln now In circulation, and will prob: nbly add thereto, Italy {3 taking ateps for resumption, and Austria Isagitating the snme Question, Both countries will resume, if at all, on the basis of the double stundard, and this will creatu a now and large demand for allvor for colulng purposes, Any Inerease tn the Intvinsle value of the American silver cofn at this time or In tho near future will probably be nude just In tine ‘to insure the thule val of asltver from home circula- jon, ‘ One of tho palnts made by Secretary Shor- mun to sustaln his proposition to suspend tho colunge of the silver dollar or increnso the wolght thereof Is the discrimination de berately made against it by the Eastern National banks, {tis the policy of many of these institutions to recelye silver dollars as special depustts only, and the New York Cloaring-House will recognize nelther the coin nor the silver certificntes, ‘Tho latter, representing an actual deposit of silver dollars with the United States Government, tu the amount of the certlileate, iy us good a currency as there Is on earth, and the refusal on the part of banks operated under Qayern: lnent clurters to recognize those certiticates Js in the nature of an ulfront to the Govern: muunt, fuetead of sustalning this netlon by implication or subiiltting to it as outside of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY,: NOVEMBER Government control, the Secretary: of tho Trensury should uso his power break down tho combination of the banks against this form of Governntent credit, * Ho eatld accomplish much In this direction by a legit mate and proper use of his offictal authority, 4\ notification tu all Natlonal banks that Gov- erninent deposits would be withdrawn from every Institution whileh refuses to recognize the legal-tender silver dollars, or the Govern- ment certifiente’of deposit theretor, would quickly bring the National banks to torms, 'Tho trouble seoms to ba, that the Sceretary of the Treasury has no lactination to sto with the masses of tho people’ ln’ their con- filet with tho Wall street gold sharks.apon this matter, but ts willing to lend hts‘ per. sonal and official influence te assist In ree ducing the logal-tendor debt-paying monoy, and go far ag possible the currency of the country, to an exclusively gold basis, He sides with those who desire, for selfish pur- poses, to minke debt-paying money scarce and dear, Ef this wore not the ense one of the obvious recommendations to make to Congress nt this time would be the creation of another Silver Commisston to consult with other commercial countries of tha world as to the establishment of an tuterna- tlonal and wyiiform ratio of values between gold and silver coins, There are numerous signs that such a proposition wand be much more cordially recelyed now than when It was mide a couple of years ago. Menn- while the coluage of tho silver dollars in this country does not threnten any serious disturbance of monetary affairs, in view of the fact that, at the present rate of coinage, it will require fifteen years before the United States shall have as much sitver coin ns France has at the present time, although France. contains fourteen millions fewer population than the United States, — EUROPEAN QUESTIONS. Austria, by the Bismarck-Andrassy treaty havlug assumed, the role of attendant jackal to the German Non, Is now anxious that France shall consent to place herself in the same category. ‘Cho stmilarity of action by France, Germany, and Austria at Constan- tinopte In the Dulelgno affair, and in pre- venting the allled fleet from extending armed. assistines to the Montencgrins, has afforded the Vienna newspapers a text tpon which to preach tho advantages Frapce would derive by Joining tho Austro-Gernman alliance. Doubts, it Is true, have Intely been ex- pressed in Austria ag to the benefit she Is likely to derive from tho treaty, and recent utterances of the Emperor Francls Joseph bear the Interpretation that, in hiy opluton, tho alliance fa not so unmixed an advantage to Austrin as hind first been supposed. All this, however, is now lost sight of In the anxious effert to induce Franoe to Join the league. Many German papers have taken up the subject and advocate it most strongly, Somo evidently write by authority, and it is ensy to be seen that thelr articles are inspired by tho Foreign Office at Berlin, Undoubtedly the advantages they propose to Franco are many. If, Ike Austria, she could forget the terrible punishment she has recelved, it Is possible that the effurts now being mado to Induce her to join tho Austro-German alllanco might meet with some success, ler position thereby might become stronger in Europe, and it fy certain that the threo countries combined could not only preserve the peace, but that no other country would dare oppose thelr wishes, But however carefully Princo Bismarck may bait his hook, and although he may angle with lls utmost skill, It is not Hkely he will get evena nibble froin the French, ‘The wounds inflicted by him are tov recent, too deep, and of too humiliating a charactor for the French people to Isten to any pro- posals he can make, however advantageous they may be. The results of tho German wars with Franco and Austria were, how- ever, widely different. Apart from tho fact’ that Germany wns -rapldly success- ful and inflected crushing defeats np- on both countries, there {fs no simi. larity between them. Austria, after tho battle of Sadowa, was treated by Bismarck with somo mngnanhulty, She lost ifo’ ter- ritory, and suffered no indignity other than belng banished from Germany. This, how- ever, was of small Importance to the Aus- trian people, It was siuply oa transfer of German control from tho Ilapsburg family, which had become in their hands an empty honor, to the rugged and yirile rule of the Tlohonzollerns, In Austrian estimation, Bis- inarck has amply atoned for this by secure ing Austria tue possession of Bosnia and by large promises of future aggandlzement-in tho. direction of Salonica, From the very nature of her composition, and made up as sho [s-of so many ditferent peoples, each jealous of tho other and actuated by oppos- ing Interests, Austrin was in need of a pro- tector, She has fuund what sho sought in tha strong hand and acute brain of Dis- nnrck, Without these the Austrian Government would todny bo without rent power, Its existence would depend Upon ®& compromise between autago- nisttc races, which It alone could not control, The policy of Austrin, therefore, In pocketing her pride and in accopting with open mouth all which the German Afephis- topheles fs willing to bestow, Is easily under- stead, Sho will: in future, no doubt, be forced to pay tha roward such Satanic agsist- ance usually demands, but of this she now takes little heed. She Js carried away by the brilitant possibilities Bismarck holds out to her, regnrdtess of the componsation ‘he will surely exact. France, on the other hand, needs no protee- tion from any one, She ts rleh and powerful Except In domestle polities, her people aro practically a unit, Certainly Jf thore be any one feeling in whieh every Frenchman unites, It Is Ina deep personal hatred for Gormany, and for Bismarck especially, who is its persoulticatton, 1t may be doubted If Dismurek’s power, great and almost.absolute agit Is in Germany, could yleld to Franco auch qmends for’ tho results of the warns would induco Frenelimon to foreyo thelr craylng desire for revenge. ‘The surrender of Alsace and Lorraine would not ace complish If Neither would the return of the tuilllards of war indemnity Germany recelvad, In every Injury lnilleted upon hia country, In every Insult offered to It by the Garman tnvaston, each Frenchman fuels him- self individually aggrieved, and It fa probable that the marvelous etfurt made slace the war by the French people to pay tho Indemnity and to accumulate wealth at any sieriiive has been largely prompted by the desire te be ready with ovory necessary means when the hour for revenge arrlvad, ws ‘Tho discussion of the Letnany alliance by the French Isconductod with mock t- ness, in whien thelr roalatestaflda ‘Of the Bchenie ls not alloy ar, Baal ts careful tu muitfon the A); eralne quics- tlon as ond of niluor inp ‘Inthe ease, All speak of the forced eds ‘of these two provinces'ng If eshindalmoat beon forgotten by them, and as [¢Ahey could easily be In- duced to glve [foe further consideration, dp/ diplomatic.

The fmportance of such an acqul- sition fy hardly eonstdered by tho’ Ameriean people, who have learned to regard Canada ns a confederation of petty provincial States who act towards this country with a spiteful malignity whenever an occasion oifers, At the game time we can welt understand how the Canadas will ba enormously bene- fited by such a union, and how the depopu- lation of the Domtuton would be arrested, the rapid deendence of its trade remedied, and the Mngerlng Confederacy gain new Ife, * The Crnadiang claim that os 4 State it Is able to mnaintaln trade and commerce with the other States of the world, as well ns this Republic can; that it hng Its seaports and Its harbors; that it pruduces wares for santo to foreign countries; that it hus more tayor- able tarlf to Jnvite Intercourse with foreign - natlons, and fs capable of mulutalning itself, The direct answer to all this Is, that It Isa sparsely settled country and mere fringe along our northorn frontier, that the -forelgn migration thatseeks it gradually abandons it, and that the exodus of native Canadians ex- ceeds the natural increase of the population. Of the foreign trade of Canada at least one- half of itis with the United States, It finds It to be mora profituble to sell its products {n this country, despite our high tariff, than tosell them elscwhere, and that itis more profitable to purchasa in the United States, despite its own high tariff, than to go with- out or to purchase elsewhere, ‘The fact 1s, the Canadians now snerifice on all they sell to the United States the amount which tho Amertenn tariif exacts; and on all they buy of us thoy ure taxed by thor own tarlif. They lose an average of 30 per cent onall they sell to ns, and pay perhaps 25 per vent duty on all they buy of us, * As States of the Unton they would be free of both those heavy exactions. They would be on tho snine footlug with the whole Unton that Illinois, Michigan, and Ollo now are, Of the Iminense trade of the 50,000,000 people of this Republic, nlne-tenths Is between themselves, the foreign trade not exceeding 10 per cent of their total productions and pur- chases, Now, with Cannda'a part of the Union, enjoying a free run of the market of fifty millions of energetic Yankees, her comn- mercial relations certainly would be yastly more profitable than In her present double- tarlf taxed condition, dealing usa foreign State with us, : If the Canadian provinces cowld, as States of the American Union, sell their produc- tons frov of an average duty of 80 per cent, and buy what thoy want at 25 por cent less than they now have to pay, the difference to the Canadian producers would be im- mienge, . Estimating the increase of returns on Canadian farms at only $1 per acre, that .would inerease the selling value of Canadian farms $1 to $20 pernere, Would this bo of no advantage or benefit to the farmers or land-owners of Cauada, who are Now wnablo to retaln thelr sons, and can Mud no sale for tholr lands except at a heavy sacriica? At present Amorlean capital, industry, and enterprise are slut out of Canada by Its slugelsh provincial character, But If tho Canndas ware States of the Union the caso would be instantly diferent. ‘The water- power of Canada exceeds in valu that of New England aud New York, and if incorpo- tated ay American States, American capital would flud its way, into the Dointnton, and that water-power would be as fully utltized as lg that of New England and New York, Tho “senthnental” attachment to Great Britaln must always prove a fatal obstacle’ to any settlement in Canada, Peoplaido'not leave Europesn States and eroga ttié’ ovean to voluntarily begin life widdf' old! fendal and Tory Institutions whtch!'the¥ lave left home tonvold, ‘Vhis sontl brite toyalty Is prohibitory of all.

THE PRESIDENTIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL F TERMS, Tho ‘movement for an extenslon of tha Presidential and Congressional terms may take a pracifeal turn in Wastitngton this winter by tho urging of 9 constitutional IMensitro proposed by ex-Goy. Pound, now member of Congress from tho Eighth Wis- consin District. ‘This ts a matter to which ‘Tis Tnwuse has directed public attention, and all the Indications are that the proposed change will recetys tho popular approval, The chlef obstacle whieh sueh a project en- counters Js that It docs not command the personal and netive support o€ those ina po- alton to push it through. ‘here is no special opposttton to It, but it is of an abstract character,—n thing tint. can be dono atany time,—and heneo the lack of Intefeat, If ex- Gov. Pound hug taken hold of the matter in carnest, he'ts tho sorcof man to secure for It A proper consideration, Gov. Pound's amendment, In brief, pro- vides that the President of the United States shalt be elected every six years, and shall be ineligible for revloction for one term there- nfter; nto, that Congressmen slinl! be elect- ed for three years Instead of two, a3 at pres- ent. One of the most {mportant rensons for anextension of tho Prosidentin! term is to reduce tho tremendous strain which tho re- currence of n Presidential clectton every four years puts upon the country, . Such an election can only bo held at great costin money and nerve, and at considerable sneri- fie fo the business Interests, Aside from thls coysideration, the longer term ‘Will In many respects contribute to tho efictency of tho Natlonal Administration and the perma: neney of tho Civil Service. A Congressional term of threo Instead of two years will bo of advantnyze to the country for much tho sane reasons, and will algo give new Con- xressmen the time to learn the routhie of business and make themselves useful to thelr constituencies before they begin to devote thelr entire tue and attention to the work of securing a reGlection, -Wenre not Informed whether Gov. Pound’s amendinent provides that the Congress chosen at the samo time ns the President shall conveng in session In the winter following its election, but. this Is an important feature of the «proposed re- form, and inust be Incorporated in the schema before it ean command entire approval. ‘The work of counting the Electoral vote should be intrusted to n Congress elected at tho same time ns tho President, because It fy that Congress, and not one elected two or three yenrs previously, that reflects the sentiment of tho popular majority which has just chosen the Presldent. It will always be an advantage, too, that a new Adimlalstration shall have the codperntion of Congress froin the ontsct In the selection of its oflicers, In the outHning of policy, and In prompt con- sideration of tho changes which It Is pro- nosed to minke. Gov. Pound‘ean secure the attention and Interest of Congress In his amendment by inking it provide that the term of the Cun- gress Just elected shall extend thres years Instead of two ag the beginning of the new scheme. By this means thu measure will command tetivo personal support from many who might otherwise be indifferent to tt.
