SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1881 Tur monometalllst newspapers linve been invited by the Mintng Reeurd to explain the steady loss of gold’ by England, which re- jects tho slouble standard, and the cor- responding gain of France and the United States, which make stlver and gold coneur- rent lege! tenders. In the ning munths ended Sept. 80, 1881, Franca gained $8,103,000 in gold, while In the same perlod England Jost $10,875,000, Tho United States have been gaining even more largely than France, dtisaremarkablo fact that England, which puts its entire dependence upon gold aud ean lenst afford to part with it, has lately been called upon to make great snerifices in this respect. ‘Tne miscollancous ‘crowd of bincks and wliites who dally throng the Washington court-room applaud the diszusting anties of Guilteau and are not rebuked for their con- tempt of court or of the ordinary decencies of life, Why they are not rebuked is ap- parent from the statement that tho Judge hinugelf at times hag to atruggie to repress o smite, There are Judges who would ‘in- stantly order their court-ronins cleared of a crowd who manifested such disrespect, Judge Cox does not appear to belong to this elngs, He is too much Interested In his aniusing prisoner apparently to be aware that ho Is in contempt. Io would probably take o much more serious view of the case If he wero aware of the feelings of tho people who are not in lis court-room, THE apparently innocent resolution of the late More-Tariff Convention in Chileago, which disapproves of “that class of absurd Treasury decisions” which classes Bessemer steal blooms among ‘articles not otherwise provided for,” will bear a {Ittle explanation. A Bessemer bloom contains about enough ateel to make one rail, The blooms come overlargely as ballast. Boing classed among “artleles not utherwiae provided for,” they pay a duty of $0 per ton. ‘Tho Moro-Tariff Convoution insists that they should be elnssed “under the designation moat clearly corre: aponding to these products in their nature, cost of productlou, and need of protection.” ‘This delighttully vague language means that blooms should be classed with Ingots of steel, a refined ant high-priced article used for making cutlery, watch springs, etc., which pay a tax of $54 per ton. ‘Translated into common, averyday English, therefore, the vesolution means that In the oulnton of the Moro-Turlif Convention the tax on stev! blovins should be increased just 600 per cent; that the Importation of blooms should. be prohibited, and that tho Bessemer steal monopoly In tho United States, which now pays several mills Inmense subsidies for lying tdle, shouldbe given a still firmer grip on the Industries of the country, res ‘OnsectioNs to the admission of Dakota usa State may" huye sone show of. reason when they eana trom great Commonwealths Jike New York and Pennsylvania, put tho hostility of Rhode Isinnd, which ts itself a ttle sister, ls unreasonably and’ ridiculous, ‘The Providence Journal of Tuesday, with a dne unconsclousness of Its awn gatira, says; Vonailering the preacnt condition and future prespina ob Nova, with ite populgrian dimias be is the loos wre boing worked out, and Na condition of politleal corrupdion that makes ita rotten bornugh for sale ta the highest ofdder of either party. thoro iyi ienwral aud just ree Juctanco to aint any new Buttes the churiwtor of whoee population and industry fs not sich as. lo give prambe of tature Increase nnd develope minnt.

Speaking of “rotten boroughs,” we are reminded that the vote of Dakuty ut the Presidential election was 10,000 sore than thatof Nevada, and only 600 Juss than that of Sthode Jsland, and 900 Jess than that of Dela- ware, ‘The tigures wero; nit Nevads.., Sr milght bea little difleult for the Provi- dence Journal te explain what It means by the Innuendo that “the charactor” of Da- kotw’s “popntation and industry’ is not suchas “to give promise of future develop. iment’? ‘The population Is the most citer pristng and ardy on this continent, being made upof pleked men with a large adinix- ture of foreign blood, and all ptoneers of civilization, Aceording to the Inst census abont 62 pur cent of the popuintion was com- poserl of males, aud 30 per cent waa of. fur- elgn birth, In tho matter of. industry Dakota certalnly gives fair “promise of fut- ure development.” It grew more wheat in tsOthan all the New England States com- bined; and as mucl corn and onts as any of them, with one exception.

In the season of high water the system of levees would merely cause devastating floods, and In seasons of Jow water It would add nothing to the means of navigation, ‘The levees are not projected to aid navigation, but to reclaim waste lands for the benetit of private speculators, ———_— ‘Tur New York correspondent of the Phil- adelphia Ledger contirins the report that Mr. John R. Lydecker is to be made Assistant Secretary of the ‘Treasury to succeed Judge Freneh, There aro two Assistant Secretaries of the ‘Treasury of equal rank, baying en- threly distinct duties, Asslstunt-Secretary Upton has charge of the currency and loan division and Assistant-Seeretary French of tha customs division, 1f Mr. Lydecker shall be appointed to sucecert the latter the power of New York over tio importing interests of the country will ba supreme. Not only will that State have control of the custom-house, through which three-quarters of the imports pass, but it will be represented In the Gov- ernment. at Wastilngton by tho President, tho Secretary of the Treasury, and the Assistant Seeretary, who constitute the various courts of- appeal in revenne cases under tho pro- cedure of the Customs Buren and the Treas- ury Department. Lygecker was the Deputy Collector under Arthur, and the Ledyer cor- respondent nalvely snys: “Te was consld- ered by the merchants [of Now York City] oue of the most eficiont, as he certainly was one of the most popular, deputies in the gray. bullding on Wall street.” That was preelsely the complaint that wns made ngainst Ly- decker by the merchants of Boston, Phila- delphin, Baltimore, and all the Western ports of entry. ‘IIo was too “popular” with the New York importers and too “efficient” In promoting thelr Interests at the expense of thelr rivals In other cities. | A pispater from Engle Pass, ‘Tex., on the Rio Grande, of Nov. 25, says: Englnecra oro sounding the Kio Grande at that polnt, aud are otherwise proparing for the rupld construction of tho raltroad brides seroas the river, Tho work of locating the rand from Pedras Negra, opposit Enyle Pass, to tho City of Mexico will be commenced fo a few days. ‘Tho strictness with which the Mexican authori- Hes are collecting duties on Imports along the Rlo Grande ja gold to bo uuprecedented, and working great hardship, Everything, oven the Bnialicat quantity of provisions, bas to pay a duty almost equal to its originai cost, It fs rather laughable for an American to speak dlsparagingly of Mexican duties. Ifa Canadian merchant or farmer undertakes to send any kind of provisions into thls coun- try he Is encountered by a duty “almost | equal to the original cost.” If an English- mun, after buying 6 cargo of American cot- ton, corn, wheat, or meat, wants to pay for It with cloth, muslin, iron, steel, or glass, he is met by a tariff that levies a tax upon the articles offered in exchange for our cotton and food equal to the original cost of his goods, ‘We are the last people In the world to find fault with the beastly prohibitory tariff of Moxico whila we maintain an equally onerous, oppressive, and disgraceful system of duties, ‘he Mexican tarlif is ono for protection with incidental revenue, and so fs ours, They aro alike bad, and both should be radically reformed. After our capitalists have éxpended a hundred miil- fons of dollars in bullding railrouds to run from this country through Mexico they will discover that nothing which we have to sell will be admitted lito Mexico on account of its prohibitory tariff, and thatnothing Moxico has forsale can find a market In the United States, belng prohibited by our sweet little tariff. SS LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Ithas been gathered frum the speech de- lyvered by Mr, Randall during the Inte New York campaign, and from other Democratic utterances, that an attempt will be made varly In the noproaching session of Congress to passarefunding act for the. conversion of the outstanding 83¢ per cents Into 8 per cont bondd, ‘The condlttons of tha now Con- gress warrant the hope that such an attempt will miscarry, The Democrats were In cone trol of both ILlouses In the last Congress, but falled nevortholuss to agree upon a refunding measure desicned te convert bonds bearing 6 and & per cent Interest Into 3 per cents, It is possible that the proposed rate of Interest, inight haye bean agreed to in Congress, and even possible that the short terin of the new bonds might have beon accepted by the op- position, but the atrong Republican minorlty protested effectually usxalust tho handi- capping of the National banks. which tho Democrats iuslsted upon as on esseny tial part of thelr scheme, “It ts quite ecertaln, however, that bonds for a short term bearing only 3 per cent interest could not have been sold at par nor anything ke Itin the open markets. The English consols ut 8 per vent and practically’ perma- nent in character cannot be matntalned at par, or above V7G@8, for any length of the, At any rate 4he Democratie schaie falled, the Beeretary-of the ‘Treasury was lets to ineet the situation In which 5 and 6 per cents beeans payable at the Government option with the certainty that the touh could be ne- gotinted at a much. tower sute of interest, and the Democratle majority went out of power with the ternilnation of the Forty- sixth Congress, after having demonstrated its Incapacity for dealing with the Natlonal finances, Itis'not probable, under these elrcum- stances, that a Democratic mluority can re turn with suceess to a struggle in which 1 Democratic najority was defeated, especially since the great saving of interest which it was In the power of tha Detnocrats ta com- pass laat winter has ince beon achieved by Secretary Windom inn omanner satis factory to tha peopte and to the ad- vantnge of the Government. At the same thne the Democrats are always ready to agitate any Issuc which promtses dlscia- sion and waste of time, enger to seize wpoir any pretense of economy which demagegs ean employ for the purpose of deception, and. ansxlows to court tho codperation of tho Greenbackers, or any individual or clique whose digresstons may pussibly weaken the Republienn party.” Meret is to be found tho strongest reason for thinking that some re- funding’ measure will be foreed upon tio consideration of Congress notwithstanding, the uccasion for such legistation has passed, and fu spite of the obvious fact that the busl- ness fntereats of the country will ba served: best by avolding alt disturbance.of the pres- ont statis of Government flnances. Wiile it will undoubtedly be a hazardous exporimont, under any conditions, to at- tempt tho sale of 8 por cent bonds at par, lt may well be doubted whethor an assured success of such an wuidertnking would war- rant the surrender of the advantages pos- sessed by the Government fir the indefinit extension of the old bonds at tho rate of Iq percent, Of the old Band h percent bonts, more tlian $09,000,000 have been pald and enncoled since they beeamo subject to call a. few months back, and $50,000,000 have been extended ntslg-per cent interest. There Is an annual saving on tha whole transaction of nearly $10,000,000 in Interest, whitel) has been made in spite of the stubborn Deniwerntic poligy of saddllug the old excessive rates of interest upon the Government excopt undor anaogreement to bully and harass tho Na- tlonal banks. ‘iis tangible result is of much greater consequence to the people than any experiment for a further reduction of inter- est under terms which might result in failure and would certainly impose tnfusties and firdship upon the banks. But. this vlaw of tho case does not comprehend tho principal advantage which the Government gained through Mfr. Windom’s refunding scheme, ‘The extended 5}{ per cent bonds are subject to cali at any time; the payment thereof cannot be demanded by the holier at any spécliic date. ‘The option of payment rests entirely with tha Government, and will -be controlled by the Government's conyen- fence and interest. For instanee, the Seere- tary of the Treasury announces that he hag the funds to redeem $10,000,000 of these bonds, It is only necessary for him to call In that amount and announce the numbers of the ealled bonds in order to stop Interest thereon, It is not necessary to mm ny premium te secure them. After $60,000,000 of these: extonded bonds shall hays been pald off and enneeled, there will ba about $500,000,000 outstand!ng, and one-third of the entire bonded debt of the United States will bo under the direct controt of the Govern- ment, it may bo pald off fn any amount as surplus reventies acerue, and it may be allowed to run without Hmltation at 3% per cent interest if such a course shall sult tho Governinent purpose, It will not pay to abandon this rare .and valuable privilege In order to save }¢ of 1 per cent interest a year, If it, were possible to sell 3 per cents at par running for the arbl- trary term of ten or fitteon -years (and it is likely that the term would be longthened out to twenty or thirty yenrs in order to assuro the negotiation of a parloan at that rate), and it should subsequently prove that the Government could have paid off the $500,- 000,000 within flye yenrs, then the change would be 9 great loss, for the reductions in the principal made under the present system are gradual and may save interest from year to year and from month to month, If, on the other hand, the Government revenucs should fall off by reason of a reduction In taxes, or if there should be an increase of expenses imposed by war or, somo unforeseen calamity, and the Government were hot propared to pay off the 3 per cent bonds at maturity, It might be compelled to refund them ata much higher rate of inter- st 1n ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now. Suchaturn in affairs would Involve cven more serious Joss, for, as the matter now stands, the extended bonds may be allowed to run fifty ora hundred years, and no more than 844 per cent interest can be demanded at any thne. As a question of economy alone, the present loan at 8g per cent, the option of paymont resting entirely with the Government, !s more favorable than would be 8 per cent bonds payable absolutely at tho ond of a certain term of years, and not payable in any,part nor at any time previous to that date, 4 ‘There ara other considerations which ren- der the 3} per cont extended bonds more ue- sirable than any others which could be ne- gotiated now, Thero is an assurance that they will always be about at par, Subject to Government call, and lable to be pald off at any time, they are not Iikely ever to com- mand inuch premium; but the credit of-the Government protecta them under all ordi- nary monetary conditions from going below par in value. Hence they will always be negotiable securities and readily convertible tuto current funds. Every man having o few thousand dollars surplus, not knowing Just when he may want to uso {t, will always be willing to buy the 34¢ per cent extended bonis, because he will run ne risk of Joss in a yarlation of premium, ‘These bonds are, consequently, a rellable resource for the re~ lef of the money market In temporary strin- gency, and thus of groat valuo to the bus!- ness public as woll as to tha Government. Besides, there 1s a universal demand among business men of all parties that there shall be no tinkering at Government finances for sonie thing to come. ‘Ihe Government debt is now Inns perfect a slinpe as It 1s possible to, seoure, audit will bean Injustles an’ an in- Jury to the financial institutions and bust- ness Interests of the country to revive an Agitation like that of Inst winter, merely to glva Democratic demagogs an opportunity to exhibit thomsalves to the ultimate detrl- ment of the party’s prospecte. OBANKS, ‘Nhe few weeks of notorlety which the nile erable wretch Gulteau has enjoyed, and tho freedom which has been allowed him to dis- vlay his disgusting auticaton grinning crowd of spectators, to ap appreciative jury, andton ainiling Judge have apparently convinced eranks of al] kinds In the community that they are n favored cluss and the !lons of the day; that the public !s ready to enjoy thelr eccentricities; that they are at thoerty to wreak their revenges for supposed wrongs; and that, haying coolly organized and com- mitted ciime, the’ courts stand open to aequit them upon the ground of irrespony albility, ‘This is the effect of the Houlzing of such a brute ng Gulteau, and Gulteau’s case, Ike many another, Is the effect of the con- vonlent, plen of inannity, which for several years past has shielded murderers and turned them loose upon the conaunity to pursue thelr victuus courses unrestrained, . °° ‘There seems to be no special Iocallty occu- pled by “cranks."* They have sprung up everywhere like toadstools, and are about as. loathsome and unwholesome as those fungl, Now and then they come up more thickly in one spot than another, as at Downer’s Grove. tu this State, whore the murder of a erank has brought to ight n whole colony of cranks, The most of the vietlin’s relatives, and somo of his neighbors, anpenr to be eranks of various kinds, and which partion Jar fool {na colony of fools it Was whe ros moved the dead man from thelr world of folly the Jury ts trylng-to find out. But this Is an exceptional ense, and fow localities arow 80 large ncrov of efanks, ‘They seem tubelong to no particular place, como fram no particlar place, and ure going to no par- fieular place, ‘They aro mornl tramps and social vagabouds. Unlike the tramps of the road, they do not subsist by heaxing or by stealing, ‘They live by thelr wits. ‘They ara sane cough to geb fool, and clothing. and money by deadbenting ant contidence gaines, ‘They are sane enough to work thelr way Into the favor of all classes and to profit by ft.

Dr. Forbes Winslow has accurately deseribed this class of nulsanees In the following terms: There is a normal and natural cecentriclty, a henithy mental tdinasnerasy, eaprie: and focl- Jug, distorted and perverted alfection, dispost- ton to nets of cruelty. tive, Urutnbity, existing independently of that irrezulirity and diatiurh- Anes In the operntions uf tho Inteltect—those perverstons of tho alfections and mudness of conduct, the clear, nomlataknble and undoubted consequence of a disexsod mind. tt shout never bo forgotten that thare fs alwys florting upon tho’ surface of rociety a large body of atrange, wayward, Intemperite, cecentria por- fone, criminally and viciously disposed, subleot: to overy bad ppaselaine impulsive in all their movamnonts, addicted to habits of dabauenery, who lead a kind of animal life, ‘Tho existence of this cinss is traceable primarily to thea absence of proper discipline and trafning when they were young and first began to manifest their eccentricltles. Vig- orous chastising at such tle would have Inshed tho nonsense outof them. ‘The Im- punity and audacity with which they pursiie thelr vicious and debased habit of life Is be- éause they are not punished for ft, but are allowed to escane all respousibliity upon the eround that tholr. minds are diseased, If Guiteau should bo nequitted these cranks would assert themselves with a boldness that would make life a burden tn almost every community, If he should be hanged, they would lint thelr holes hastily and screen themsolves from public view, They are sane enough for that. . = What is to be done with these social nul- sances is n question worth the attention of the soclal philosophers who are not cranky theniselves. Some of. them ike Guiteau do- serve hanging, others ueserve to go to the Insane asylums—it they are insane. ‘Tho rest ought to he suppressed by some strin- gout means.

Tho most significant event of the Guitean trlal oceurred Wednesday Inst, when the agsasin rose to makes personal exptilnation. Ho sald: “I remurked yesterday that ‘Jullus?: was too suggestive of the negro race, aud for that reason [had dropped It from my name. ‘That prejudice was begot- ten twenty years ago, I meant no disrespect to any nerson or rny race, particularly to the colored race, for they are more highly thought of than the white race nowadays.” One of tlie Jurors sitting to try Gulteau fur lis life ign negro. There is no doubt what- ever that this explanation was made under the impression thatthe original remark about the namo “Julius” had offended, or might have offended, the colored juror, It makes no dliference whether Gultean nade this explanation of his own motion or by advice of his attorney, Mr. Scoville, If he mnie it of his own motion the act shows that his attention to the trial fs close, that his memory {s good, and his Judgment clear, If he made [tat the suggestion of Mr. Scoville Jtshows that, howayer much he may aifect to despise his brother-in-law, and however frequently he may Insult him in open court, he navertholess acts Inteljizently under his advice, as counsel, given out of court. its not often that a priaoner on trial for his tfe dispinya a degree of acuteness equal to this, assuming that the explanation was Guiteau’s own Impromptu act. On the othor hand, if the explanation was made atthe sug- gestion of his cunnsel, 16 shows, or tends to show, that Guitcau’s pretense that he de- spises Scoville 1s a shum, and that Scoville’s pretense that he caunot control Gultenu ts a. mera trick of the defense, Tho explanation is not of a pleca with. Guitenu's apparently erazy Interruptions, It is \ho part of tha in- sanity drama which the assasin isengaged in playing during every hour of the trial, But itis of exactly the same character of a for- mer dental of the assasin that ho handled, without emotion, the bone from hls victiin’s body which was plerced by his murderous bullet. In that explanation, ho was careful to deny that he even touched the ghastly-relle Hoth these explanations arc of the first ln- portance; tho one as ehowing tho desire of Guitean to rellave himself of the odium of having neadlesly offended the pride of race of a juror, and the otheras showing his de- sire to rellevo himsalf of the charge of brutal Indifference, Crazy. persons do not reflect enrefully upon past events and thon logically taka the necessary ateps to correct the iinpres- slosi conveyed by them, Nor are crazy por- sons any more apt to subinit to the contro! of thelr keepers when such control will benefit thom than whan It will injure thom. Scoville nas repeatedly protested to the Court that Guiteau, in his apparently mad froaks, as exhibited i, fmpertinent ana Irrelavant reniorks,- Is entirely boyond his control, But In two important matters Guiteau shows elther that he knows perfeetly whut he Js about, reasons logically that to save himself from the gallows le ought to stand well with the coloretl juror, and ought to remove the Impression that he Is cold. btnoded enough to handle a bone froin the dead body of bls murdered victhn, or that In an emergency his counsel can and does in- fluence himincourt, St looks very muott as If; Guiteau Is avle to appear tusane whenover in his oplnton his case requires it, and able to act likes sane || man whenever fn nis opinion and In the opinion of his counsel nothing but sano fict will serve the purpose of the defense, Doubtless Mr, Scoville entered tha Gul- tenn case aololy from a strong sense of fam- {ly duty. He had very }ittle confidence In Dis own skill as a orlainal lawyer, and made almost superliuman efforts to secure able counsel, but failed, As the caso progressed, however, Mr, Scoyille’s courage rose, Gul- teau appeared jn court so very Jike s crazy mianor adevil that Mr. Seovilla doubt began to feel that a verdlet of Insanity was by no means improbable, Then eame the amtarrel with Robinson, tho assoelate coun sel, ‘There sven: to have been no geod) ground. for the quarrol, . and it ts explainable only on the theory of professionn! pride. leaving done all the work, Mr, Seovilla ddubtloss concluded that he was entitted to all tha fame of tho ns aie verdict of nequittal, © So he drove Robinson from the ense. [t 1s by no means Amprobable that Scoville felt the necessity of entiuing the condudt of the ense solely to his own hands, since it was detormined that tha ngsnsin shoul play the role of insanity fia gross and violent way. Consultations tn regard tu this rate would be awkward with third party, arid hes total stranger, We do not say Unt Mr, Scoville fs not justt- fled in taking this course, Tho law govern- Ing the attornay’s duty to lis cilintis very broad, nnd it tins been the rule since tho gener Introduction of the -pten of insanity for. tho prisoner on trial to play any part deomed most likely to save his life. ANOTHER MONOPOLY BROKEN. In adeelsion rendered in the United States Court yesterday morning, Judge Drummond knocked from off the public the shackles which a grasping monopoly had succeeded in riveting several years ngo by moatis ofa perversion of the patent laws. ‘The case was one of Natlonal importance, and Involved directly and tndirectly many miliions of dol- Jnrs, It. aifected not only an iminense do- imestic trade, but also -a large export trafic. On Gie court calendar the caso was known a8 “Libby, McNeilt & Libby et al. vs. the St. Louls Packing Company et a1.” 'The question at bar was the validity of certain patonts. for preserving meats in cans, notably. the WIll- fain.f, Wilson patent refsaued in March, 1875, ant tha John A. Wiison patent, reissued in October, 1877. ‘The former related exclusive- ly to the process of preserving and canning of meat, and the Inter to the construction of theean Into which to pnok the preserved mont, ‘Tho cnse was argued at great longth about 0 month ago, and there were engaged In It niany of tho best known patent Jawyers In the United States, ‘Ihe Court dectled that the patent to Will- Inti d.
