How Mill the Court Ifl!?
Tub constitutionality of tLa, Legal-tender act
was argued before the Supreme Court of the
Vnited States, in banc, at Washington, last
week, and rumors are rife as to what will be
its decision. Correspondents, with that saga
city which they claim to possess, have
informed the publio of the sentiments of the
Justices, although there were no better indi
cations to judge by than the attitudes which
their Ilonors assumed while listening to the
arguments. As a consequence, public atten
tion is direoted to the subject, and the deepest
solioitude felt as to the ultimate issue of the
question. No one can wonder at this. Every
man, woman, and child in this broad land is
personally interested iu the settlement of the
question. The debtor knows that on it de
pends the question of the payment of his debts.
The merchant konws that on it depends the
existence of his credit. The farmer knows
that ou it rest3 the price of grain. The dealer
of every kind and the purchaser of every sort
feel that their relative credit hangs on the
question, "Is the Legal-tender act constitu
tional ?" Should it be decided otherwise, the
balance of business would be destroyed.
Supply and demand would lose their equi
librium. All sales would be at the option of
the seller. No one could tell whether
he had any means of purchasing bread
unless he had a supply of gold. Let us ima
gine for a moment the effect in detail. We
Lave a hundred dollars in greenbacks in our
possession. We cannot tell whether these
greenbacks will buy what we want or not. We
may find the seller unwilling to accept them.
Then we must pay according to the premium
in gold. No longer will gold be forty per cent,
above par, greenbacks will be forty per cent,
below. Everything would fall with theur
reucy and the whole land be placed at the
mercy, of the gold speculators. How long
does any one imagine it would take the specu
lators to run the premium up to two hundred ?
It would be done in a week, and with the suc
cess of these conspirators would come a finan
cial paoio and universal ruin. It would iu
truth be a violent resumption of specie pay
wuts. It would be an immediate and in
roluntary resumption, and one for which the
oouutry is not prepared, livery mortgage
would lei'Oine at once valuable only according
to tliH tlut'tuation of gold, cud throughout the
whole laud would go up a cry wh eh would
indicate a terrible financial "crash. " We do
cot over estimate in predicting such a result.
It woi!d be attempted by tint iutereited,
and we have no reason to doubt that it would
BUOed,
Ilriit.oit is that of all the question at pre
Eett occupying the pub'ic tuiud, there is none
in whii-U it feels eo de p an interest a3 in the
constitutionality of the Legal-tender act. U
it protiublw that the woes we have depleted
will coiue upon the laud ? We do not hesi
tate to answer no, and for two very gooi rea
sons. Eirat, it is possible that a majority of
the Judges of the Supreme Court think the
law constitutional, and will eo decide. The
case in Us favor is vtry stroDg, and with t'ae
evidence of the past before them the Judges
will leau towards its constitutionality. The
opitoii prevails that a majority of them
will so decide. If such should be the case,
of course no commotion would result.
Secondly, they may think ii unconstitutional,
but if they do they will not cay so. It is an
established custom of the Supreme Court not
to precipitate the country iuto a tonvnialou
by any of its decisions. As the highest law
tribunal of the land, it does not recognize the
practice which justice compels iuferior courts
to obey. It does not give ad adverse decision
which will do publio injury, eveu if that
aJverie decision is according to technical Uv.
It adopts the alternative of thinking ovi?r the
uattr, so that whil-t the ultimate decUiou is
that which is dictated by law, Kill the time
of that decision is so remote that wheu it
comes the danger to the oountry will have I
passed away. This it did in regard to certain '
of the Reconstruction laws, and this it will do
egain, if it be of the opinion that the law is
unconstitutional. The Judges reoognie clearly
the commotion they could create, aud, being
ooneervative in all their feelings, they will not
overturn the social edilloe by any act of theirs.
Souse day in the future, when the gradual
approximation of gold and greenbacks makes
puch a decision of little importance, except in
theory, they will give their decision, and the
people will feel a Bort of speculative interest,
and that is all. Nor will there be in such a
line of conduct any wrong. The law in ques
tion was the offspring of necessity. The nation
could not, when the Legal-tender aot was
passed, pause to investigate its concurrence
with the aot and the sentiments of Fletcha
or Coke. The cry of necessity forced the law
through. It was a blow at traitors, who were
seeking to destroy the national credit, and it
was successful in its object. The people ac
cepted it in good faith. They have aoted
under it, until it is so ramified throughout the
whole system as to be part of its life. To
overthrow it now would be to injure that life.
We therefore both anticipate and commend an
indefinite postponement of the decision, should
the Court not rind it consistent with judgment
to decide the law constitutional.
Wrnltli anil Poverty.
Tun actual wealth of the Rothschilds is prob
ably not known even te themselves. It is re
ported, however, that the late Baron Roths
child was worth, in round numbers, four hun
dred millions of "dollars, and that he was
greatly regretted by the poor of his neighbor
hood." It is to be hoped, for his own credit)
that hi3 charities were such that the poor
will indeed feel that they have lo3t a bene
factor. The responsibilities of a man having
control of such an amount of money are great,
and it only too frequently happens that the
possession of great wealth increases the desire
for more, and that the man who could
part with a million without in
convenience to himself and with
out seriously diminishing his accumula
tions, is less willing than others of more
limited opportunities to remember the claims
of the poor of this world. The policy of the
Rothschilds has been to keep their wealth in
their own family, and this is the general
European policy, based on the feudal prin
ciples of primogeniture. That such immense
fortunes as that of the late Rothschild prove
the tendency of modern civilization to be in the
direction of the concentration of wealth, we do
not think, for, as the matter appears to us, the
influence of modern civilization is in the other
direction. The feudal principle, by which the
eldest son alone inherits,' has produced
the effect of concentrating wealth in the hands
of a comparatively few persons, and the result
is the extremes of poverty and riches which
are to le Eeen in Europe. In this country a
man spends his life in accumulation, but on
his death it is divided among the diUereut
members of his family, who very frequently
dissipate it in a few years, and the result is
that we have an average of wealth, which on
the whole is undoubtedly the most beneficial
for society. The concentration of wealth is
an impossibility in the United States at
present, and we believe and hope that it
always will be an impossibility. The lull uenoe
of the United States in regard to this, as well
as other matters of political and social economy,
is making itself felt more and more every day
in Europe; and we doubt not but that the time
will come when the laws of primogeniture
will be done away with, along with other
remnants of a system that was good in its
day, but which is now a drag upon modern
civilization. The evils to society at large
from a few persons having control of a large
proportion of the wealth are so great, that it.U
not to be wondered at that enthusiastic re
foimers should sometimes propose to restrain
the accumulation of property beyond certain
points. The evil, however, is one that cannot
be remedied by legal enactment, and it cau
only be regulated by a general policy of jus
tice to all like that which has been adopted in
this country. No system, however, will do
away with poverty; and it is therefore the
more incumbent on men of great possessions
like the Rothschilds to remember the poor,
aud to dispense large proportions of their
wealth in acts of charity.
WenpelIi Phillips has been lecturing in
New Vork on "The Lost Arts." Doubtless
the erratic orator made the subject interesting.
If Wendell would devote himself to the lost
arts entirely, and abandon his abuse of the
living arts, we think he will get along muoh
more comfortably than he does, aud he would
ceitainly accomplish rome little good in the
world. One ot the lost arts to which he
should devote some litt'e attention is that of
Fj.eakiDg well of somebody besides himself.
