Iiiloriiitllonal Coinage k New L'tan.
w (A N. Y. S imes.
Those of our readers who nuty have read
the reprint in our coluuius of the various
official documents, iu reppent to international
ooiuage, incluiling the report to the Depart
ment of Bute by Mr. S. 13. Kugiles, the dele
gate from the United Stated to the "Inter
national Monetary Conference" at Taria in
1867, are doubtless aware of the following
leading facts.
The totals of the gold coinage np to 1S'J3 of
the three principal coinibg nations o( the
world, were as follows:

Of the $84.r),6oti,&91 thu9 roined by tiie
I'nited States, there has remained in circula
tion not more than $300,0(10,000. Owing to
its needless and iil-ooiiHideiel weight, wUinh
exceeds by nearly 3 0-10 per cent, that of tbn
ooin of France, and by 2 0 10 that of the HrJ
tifih coin, it cannot now be pa?ud iu Kurojve
for its true value, but is incessantly recoiuod
hi large amounts both iu France and England.
To borrow the words of Mr. Kuggles, "the
American eagle grosses the AtUutio only to
descend into the melting pots of Paris ml
London."
Theee facts were duly exhibited at the lV.v'i
Conference, strengthened by the circurmtar- ,8
that all the burden of this recoinage, aud of
any discount or brokerage in Europe in chain
ing our ooin into foreign gold, practically fJU
upon the people of the United States, C3
owners and exporters of the coiu. It beoavao
entirely evident that the evil could only be
remedied by reducing the wefght of onr ooii
to that of the coiu either of France or of
England. After full discussion, and in vie;f
of the fact that the gold coin of Franoe wa
largely circulated among the continect&l
natiens, where it might circulate, side by
side,' with the coin of the United States, tnl
that the amount coined by France much ex
ceeded that of any other ntion, it v?;h
thought to be not only just, bat
incst conducive to the common welfare of the
nineteen nations represented iu the Confer
ence (embracing a popula' ion of 320,000,030)
to adopt the French weight as the basis of ft
common international coiu. There was vd
attempt or wish whatever to "Frenchify" tVa
common coiu, but every nation was left felly
at liberty to use its own monetary denomina
tions and emblems; the United States reteixj
ing the dollar" aud the "eaple," with ixu
multiples and subdivisions, aud Great BriU.U
its "sovereign" or '"pound."
Since the adjournment of the Confer-.:
this monetary plan ha3 been favorably re
ceived and formally agreed to by several of
the Continental nations. The nations vr'O
had already carried it into effect were Frar.;??,
Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and Ihe
Pontifical States, having au aggregate popu
lation of seventy-two millions. The addition
since that time of Auttria, Spain, Sweden, and
Roumania will unite at least one hundred cud
thirty millions of the people of Kurope in
monetary concord. In October last, at a for
mal meeting of the representatives of Ua
Chambers of Commerce of all the iuiportrjut
cities in Germany, it was decidod by a nef.rly
unanimous vote to recommend its adoption by
the Government Jof the new "Zollvereiw,"
embracing not only Prussia, but all its on
federate States, with a population, exceeding
thirty-eight millions.
It eeema that under a Monetary Conveuty.r,i
in 18&7, no longer in force, a new gold ooia,
called the "Convention's crown," was iascc.l,
containing in pure gold ten even rue trio hi
grammes, equal in value to nearly six doll.us
of the existing ooin of the United States. It
is in view of the exact conformity of this par
ticular coin to the metric system, that a pro
position has been formally submitted to
Congress for adopting it as the basis of the
proposed international coinage a measnre
which would render it necessary to call in f.ad
- recoin the whole volume of gold in eirocl
tion in We&tern Kurope, now amounting to at
least eighteen hundred millions of dollivrF,
while the whole amount of these Gernau
"crowns" now in oiroulatiou does not proba
bly exceed two hundred millions.
Thi3 German plan, w.hkh proposes to uado
all the work of the Paris Conference, is now
urged on Congress in an elaborate repoit
from Mr. E. B. Elliott, transmitted on tlie
9th of February, instant, to the House of
Uepre sentatives at Washington by the Secia
tary of the Treasury. We do not learn, nor
can we believe, that the plan has received his
distinct approval. The llouse has ordered it
to be printed, with numerous accompanying
tables. Until we can more fully learn it3
content?, we shall de!r any remarks on itt
merits.
Meanwhile the time of Congress must Vs
too much occupied by the interesting measures
nd movements natar.illy attending the ck; a
of this present administration, to give to tUin
more abstract subject of international coicf .; e
the cajeful attention which it deserves.' In
the orer of Providence, it may ba left to Pre
sident Grant and a new Congress to Bee tlit t
the American Unlou does its proper eh are of
duty in Edvauciug this great fraternal weatur
of international reform a work peouliarly ap
propriate to that era of "pe'tcs" which iiw
incoming head of the Government has bo stn
pbatiufcliy aud soloinnly iuvokel.
Genual Puller's Speech n tho Wmy
Jfrop the N. Y. W w iA
It is fair to give even 0?rral Butler hi
due; and we will not withhold our just pr&iha
ami adn-iration from his excellent epeeoh ad
vocatlner a ereat reduction of army expencea.
It la one of the fulioitiea of our local position
that we are exempt from the necessity of
maintaining a great military establishment to
pnard against the nggressieus of powerful ead
ambitious neighbors. We are separated frora
nil the great military powers I y a broad ooosn.
Canada on the north of us aud Mexico oa Iba
south re bo feeble aud Interior that they
ould never thiik of Rttfu kiug us. For the
preservation of local order the uiiUti of the
states is a'oply Bultlcteut; ttnd if any unox
pected einergeuoy avisos, the ndlitl of all te
Htates is put jct to the tall of the PreBidant,
either to put down insurrection, repel Invs
aion, or fcr any other legitimate purpose for
which an armed foroe may be required. Ac
cept to man onr forts on the seaboard and for
service ngainst the Indians, we have no uifie
use for an army thau nations will have in tao
millennium. And yet our army is costing TV!
ut present an annual enmexoeedingtha whole
expenses of the Government previous to th-
,war.
Why should the country bear this hav
and needlesB burden f The nations of Karopa
groan under euch burdens because they we
fu close proximity, and regard each other
with Jealousy and apprehension. Krauce in
creases her armament; and Prussia, Koglaai,
and the rest, distrusting and fearing her, and
not wishing to lie at her mercy, Incase
their?; and the people are ground down by
enormous taxes to support these burdensome
03tAhli3hmonts. They are defensible there ou
the score of public safety; but on what ground
osn Ihsy b defended here t The disbanding
of onr army would bring as much relief to the
people as the extinction of half or two-thirds
of our public debt. There hai never h-en a
time since we were an independent nation
whon we had bo little ne?d of an army,
oxopt for oorvice against the Iudiaus, as we
have M present. We have a million of
trained voterans engaged in the pnrauits of
pPRoe. We have paid and pensioued thetn
with srioh generous liberality, that any new
oall fcr thoir services would bring "them
thronging aad swarming to our standards,
with suoh alacrity that all our roads would be
darkpiind by the muVitudea. A tmi days'
call would bring together an army of a hundred
thrTwajd disciplined men at any place that
m.t'ht bo appointed as a rendezvous. Foreign
uvions l:iio7 this; the South knows it; and
this soniio of the prodigious forces which we
c?ti any day extemporize, is a pretty good
guarantee that we shall have no occasion to
call th ra out. It would be perfectly safe to
tf.iomifis OVBiy soldier except those employed
j;;aij'Et t.ho Indians.
Or e of the beBt features of General Butler's
pUn is bi.T proposal to reduce the number and
the grades of the army ollicers. He says that
fercn rullUo33 a year maybe saved by this
jni'Hiis lone. lie would have the expensive
5fiicn cf 08naral abolished when General (J rant
vcfrt33it; the almost as expensive etKce of
LiBiterent-Goneral as soon as tieneral Sher
n. n vaoatjs that; and he would have three
rnpjor-erjfiTsrts as the highest army officers,
rd a sm'Al number of brigadiers. This re
duction 1.1 equally recommended by good
?Tt3n Jjd Jy economy. Why should weniain
t&iu H.grtst hierarchy of officers suited to an
nuibldy array of a million of men, when
ty. nty or thirty thousand would be more sol

Ju Lli 3 part of the winter the Tiiuts
'ioke :rt'UEu in favor of raising the salary of
'w r.i-.f Irjei-lent to one huntlred thousand
uoihuri, si.i it kept calling attention to the
snbjLot by a poriitent, zealous advocacy. It
olairif.tf, at the time, that its articles met
with vivle Tid favoring responses from other
SLtpnbi'csn jcarnals in all parts of the coun
try. Sizes the distrust and dissatisfaction
wlr'ch havs s-own up between General Graut
aid ths KcT-dblican leaders, nothing more is
si-id or- ilih sabjtct, and it seems to have
dropped qnils out of the publio contempla
tion. .It is now so late iu the session that
nothing will be done on the subject, and if
the H.irT Ls not raised before the 4th of
Mptch, it cwariot be raised at all for General
Graiit' tiofit, as the Constitution forbids
t.-uy iicias of the Preeident's compensation

Why dosa 0t the Timr revive and revamp
it 3 umsntD, and press them home upon
Cjrgrr.'S fcofore it is too late .' If they were
?out.d i'i Dooember, they can have lost
ne-SVirjj of Heir force. If the subject was
wcrth atrenuous, persistent urgency
liich was clicplayed then, the Times aud its
summons ccadjutors in this movement ought
not to dc3i a good cause. But we shall pro
lablj heRr no more of it. Before General
Grant had bs3nn to lore favor with the Re
pnblicsriBj it was a popular thing to advocate;
but Corgie33 would no more think of increas
ing his salary now than they wjuld that of
Horatio Seymour if he had been elected.
Corigrj PfrJi lir.3 done no one thing this winter
whioh General Grant has recommended, or
vhion he wsuld naturally like to have doue.
He leotmsaanded the transfer of Indian
iifTiL's to tha War Department, and his

is Lot prtbAb!o that a repeal could even pass
the Hcui-e, if the bill were now to be proposed
fr-r tlie Sizi time. It passed that branch of
Coiigrpss early in the session, before the
pie; itt ctais of feeling had grown up. On
every Tecsnt occasion when a speaker in the

to farfi iXU btdng a remedy that every victory

cl 5roter in the future, may be gathered from
the (ilrcnjOttasoe, if we msy trust the ao
cowitj, that in the battle Iu the Valley of the
Vffhita the women and children mingled in
the fght for they were armed; and this wa3
Ittii M 9 reftoon why such were put to death.
It will diffteult to find another instance in
i U our Irdian wars or, indeed, in the wars of
iliy other people, civ ilied or savage where
hi omen and ch'.ldren together had beoome
in tlitir (Repair so desperate as actively to
err, in spelling an invader.
So gTBdrially, iu a comparative reuse, have
our lierr.jichmenta been made, that we do
not loAliistbat we have now hemmed the In

In Ailaono, in Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colo
rado, aud Dakota, and the heavy westward
wave of permanent immigration crowds from
t 1 kop.tbera Use of Kansas across the Smoky
Hi'l ai d the Platte i the Upper Missouri.
Between this frontier of ear immigrants
and the protected settlements of Colorado
and Montana is a region iu some places lesi
tbanMOO miles wide, aud diminishing at the
late of, perhaps, half a mile a day, withiu
whirh not only the Indiana, but their only
means of subsistence the buffalo are iu
olosed. The crossing of this region by the
two railroads, and the sUMoua and forts
necessary for protecting them, inevitably must
interrupt, and iu the end stop, the semi
annual migration of the bntlaloes between the
llanos of the South to the plains of British
America. Indeed, even last year these oansei
operated to such an extent that the semi
civilized inhabitants of the Red Uiver couutry
of the North were unable to obtain their usual
supplies; and we had thence, iu erly winter,
piteous wails of famine from the half breeds
and Canadian voyaeurs of that retuo'e couu
try. Accordingly the Indian of the Plains
doe?, or he is preparing to do, what every
hnmsn being under like circumstances must
and only can do turn aud stand at bay.
A victory over the savages leads to settle
ment only to the extent that they are anni
hilated, for iu 110 manuer does it remove the
came 8 which incited thetn to robbery aud
murder, since, after a battle, the same causes
still are in operation, and they are uuchauged,
unlefs in receiving nw aggravations, l-'or
when the food by which life is sustained is
withdrawn, no matter whether wilfully or in
the conrFe of progress and improvement,
there can be no peace, no redress, nor even
what we agree in calling human feelings,
until the warrior, his children, and their
niotl er can eat again. The present policy
leads to a continued renewal of atrocities, and
to converging armies, and finally to extinc
tion; for theie is no doubt that we have, or
can get, soldiers enough, and we have, or we
can borrow, money enough, by the help of
which every man, woman, aud child can be
destroyed. If this is to be the settled policy
of our Government, and such it will be if the
advice of border men is adopted, nothing
further need be said, and we may wait with
what peace of mind we can until the aveng
ing deities, not of the savage but of justice aud
of light, measure unto ns as we have mea
sured unto others. But before this policy is
adopted, let us consider whether there is not a
more humane, or easier, or, what would seem
most important of all, a cheaper way.
In considering the Indian question we must
bear in mind that we deal with men, aud with
a race compacted by a social law. The Indian
race has never passed out of the savage state;
and although eflorts have been made from the
first settlement of the country to induce them
to adopt the habits of a civilized life, ami
although many good men have devoted their
learning, their energies, and even their lives
to this object, they have failed. They failed
for the reafou that "they did not consider that
man progresses by short advances, never by
1114 1U AU V.IO nuinuvD 0UII IU VU-7 ttini
aggregate of advances which have marked
through many ages the progress of the Cauca
sian race. The lirst advance whioh man makes
from the savage state is into the pastoral, aud
it will be in vain to attempt to bring him into
the civilized, or even into the barbaric, until
he has bten prepared by the pastoral. This
view is so obvious that, perhaps, it would
have been seen long ago, had not one class of
such writers as mould public opinion de
claimed upon the happiness of the savage
state, aud another class ascribed to the red
man poetic and other line qualities, which
thofe best acquainted with him never have
been able to see. The proper way, then, to
settle the Indian question is to set apart reser
vations supplied with the means for their
leading a pastoral life. Almost in this present
age the Indian has made an approach to this
state by domesticating one animal, which is
the horse, in the management of which he
shows judgment and skill, aud now, with this
basis, no interval remains in an advancement
to the care of cattle, iliat this is tlie natural
order of progress has been demonstrated by
the Creeks and Cherokees in the Indian terri
tory west of Arkansas, where, without spe
cial assistance from the Government to this
end, they voluntarily and naturally entered
upon this life. Allot, therefore, districts
within our vast Western domain, suited for
grazing, with water and timber.where villages
naturally will be established, and here, by
proper management, and of oourse with Gov
ernment care, Docks and herds will multiply,
and in a few years these people will beoome
self-supporting. As to the adjuncts hitherto
deemed important that is, schools aud mis
sionaries tnere may be a lew, but it will be
convenient not to attempt too much.
There is another branch of this subjeot of
ttill greater Importance. From unknown ages
the Indian women, and the women ot all savage
people, have cultivated the soil while the meu
roamed abroad. The reason why she has done
this is founded in the depths of her being. In
one sense the woman is primary, for she is the
mother; upon her, more directly, depend the
sentiments and the intellectual bias of the race;
and in particular do her instincts impel her
to rrovide food for her offspring; while the
man is removed to a secondary place, and be
comes the guardian and protector of that
which she brings forth. The llesh of animals
cennot, from day to day, be the most accept
able food for a child, while iu case of illness,
to which it must more or less be subject, it
will be loathsome, nor can spontaneous vege
table productions be found except during
brief periods of the year, and then ouly
by chance. Henoe the savage woman would
seek by every art whioh love for her children
could suggest to increase in quantity aud
In variety their daily food, and in
particular to make the soil near her lodge
bear it; and the must have disoorered early
tl at cultivation, rude though it was, largely
added to the harvest. From these impulsive
labors of hers to make more certain, aud more
grateful, the food necessary for her ohildren,
and, in connection, to provide theia with gar
ments to shield them from the cold of winter,
the first dawn of civilization must be traced.
While the man clings to the uncertain life of
the hunter, fche beckons to a gentler aud a
better life. These, and analogous reasons,
show that the heart of woman everywhere,
and always, leads the way to higher eoudi
tions. While our Indian hunters or warriors of the
Plains could, with scarcely a change, euter
upon a pastoral lire, uieir women wouw 00
contented and happy in their gardens aud
ctru-fields. It is to be lamented that the
education of the youug women of New Eng
land, and of othtr se.itioua, by which they
were made litttd to become the wives of mla
Fioisaiies, did not include such practical know
ledge of the growth of plants as to prepare
them to enter upon the bouelhwut work of
teaching Indian and savage women how to
bud and graft, and to acquire by cultivation a
tast for llowera. Still, there are some few
women who, iu connection with cultivated
minds, do possess these requirements, and if
sought they can be found. Thus the sexes of
the race which, in the progress of events,
hav become ur deadly enemy, may, with no
other change than what shall come in a natu
ral order, be transformed into our friends;
and if, unfortunately, by reason of being
compelled to compete with our civilization, as
well as with our vices, they are destined not
to be perpetuated long, a pleasing duty will
have been done In proving to t hem that w.
the inheritors of their vast possessions, were
not wholly unworthy.
But we will be told by the byoless an 1
oeitaiulyby those most interested iu telling
it that anew measure will bring iu new men.
who, because they are men, will pluuder the
Government and defraud the ludiaus, and
therefore things had best remain as they are.
We dissent wholly from this conclusion, be
cause we have a living faith that with the in
coming administration it will not be taken for
granted that because men have speut their
lives in seeking oilice they are therefore quali
fied to fill it; but that, on the contrary, au
attempt will be made to ascertain whether
our progress iu Christianity aud civilization
has not produced men who cau be trusted.
We would go back still further, aud this iu
view of the unfaithfulness and incompetence
of so many politicians, and say that the first
thing to ascertain will be whether a man is
really incompetent; for if we find a competent
man, we find also one who, during the days
of his apprenticrship, learned, as a part of
his acquirements, that in the long ruu the
most money is made by being honest.
