Editorial Opinio" of the Leading Jonrnala Upon G'nrrent Toilr -Cninjilled Brery Par Tor the Kvcntn Telegraph. FINANCE A3 A SCIENCE. From the y. Y. Tribune. ' Of ftll its possession r, a nation's honor is the mont essential, most precious, most easily Bqnandororl, most diflienlt of reoovory. A freo people, being at once party and finul judge in a dispute as to the true scopo ami meaning of its pecuniary obligations, labors under a temptation to bond the requirements of jus tice to suit its own convenience from which the other judges are mercifully shitjklod. All iniquity is sweet in the mouth, though so bitter ever after; and twenty realizo that to cheat the national creditors would justify an immediate reduction of taxes where one comprehends that the resulting loss of credit, of prestige, of honor, of power to command money in perilous emergencies calling for vast outlay, would immensely outweigh this ad vantage,' rendering repudiation the worst speculation that ever rascality prompted. "Were the United States now to save one thousand millions of dollars by paying off their debt in greenbacks, the resulting loss would so enormously outweigh tho gain that history would marvel that credit was ever ex tended to a community of knaves who were such inconoeivablo fools. We do not fear the outright, unqualified repudiator. His intentions are bad enough, and he may do great temporary harm; but tho country will no more tolerate downright re pudiation than murder, because it cannot af ford to do so. But how infinite, how ingenious are the de vices of those who would lead our people blindfold into tho abyss ! We have just stum bled on a scheme artfully that is, skulkingly propounded, to reach the end by debasing our coinage to the level of our greenbacks, by enacting that two hundred grains of silver shall constitute a dollar instead of two hun dred and eighty-live, which is the present legal standard. This, it is urged, would ena ble us to resume at once; whereas, it would only remove the obstacle to resumption inter posed by those who uro in debt, and want to pay as cheaply as may be. Tho coin wherewith to redeem our out standing demand-paper, whether bond or greenback, would not be providod by this de basement of the standard; on tho contrary, months, if not years, would bo required to produce it. The dodge would simply amount to a repudiation of two-sevenths of the face of all private debts Hint fall duo or are paid after resumption. But the pressure to treat jniblie creditors the same as private would be intense) and formidable; and those who know how a dollar became equivalent to six shil lings in New England, seven aud sixpence in Pennsylvania, eight shillings in New York, etc., etc., might plausibly apprehend its suc cess. Indeed, the "pound sterling' which was originally a pound weight (Troy) of sil ver, but has been gradually reduced to less than a fourth of that amount, by the prac tices of bankrupt or knavish rulers might well warn us to beware of the down-hill road that stretches in prospect before us. But there are those who profess to condemn and even execrate repudiation who deprecate the purchase of bonds with the surplus funds in the Treasury. If they would condescend to tell us what they would have done that the laws do not forbid, we might better compre hend them. The Treasury is not at liberty to cancel and burn greenbacks; while the logal tender act expressly commands "the purchnse or payment of one per centum" of the entire public debt annually. So much is beyond the rightful power of Congress, being embodied in a pledge made to the na tional creditors ns an inducement to trust their country. Until that pledge has been made good to the last iota, we in sist that the Government has no lawful discretion it must purchase bonds with the coin collected for duties on imports. If Con gress had not forbidden it to contract the currency by cancelling and destroying green backs, it might have done that; as it is, it can do just one thing, and that is, convert the surplus gold into bonds and thus stop the payment of interest. This it has been doing ever binco Mr. Boutwell became Secretary; this we trust it will do, to the extent of one hundred millions per annum, so long as General Grant remains President. Should he be once re-elected, ho will thus have wiped out a full third of the debt during his eight years' service as President; aud, having done this, ho might well afford to rest his fame as & civilian on that single fact. History could not fail to do him justice, while posterity would rise up to call him blessed. HOW TO SECUliE CHEAP COAL. From the iV. Y. Time. The authoritative exposition of the ideas and purposes of the Miners' Union, which we published on Sat urday, is of great interest, and of some value in determining the cause of the troubles in tho anthracite fields of Pennsylvania, which, having become chronic, have resulted in a permanent and large ad vance in the price of coal. So much has been said on all sides of the questions in dis pute, that little difficulty need now be experi ence rn arriving at just conclusions, which will suggest a remedy for evils that are press ing heavily n tho community. The chief cause of the disorganization of tho mining region is admitted to bo over-produo-tion. The result of an over-supplied market was a decline in prices ruinous to small ope rators, who, paying heavy tolls tothe Heading ltailroad and other outlets from the Schuylkill and Lehigh districts, were unable to compete with the Lackawanna companies owning their lines of transportation aud thus combining the profits of earners and producers. From this unequal rivalry of capital sprung tho lou strike of the present season, and the miners, bv whom and in whosa interests it was osten sibly conducted, wero rea'lv but the incidentals of a desperate struggle between clashing mon etary interests. The Miners' Union, with its comnact organization, was. pernaps, uncon sciously the instrument of th small opera, tors, and all its babble about '.'basis" and "re. striction" was but a plea in bar against the corporations that were able from the mere brute power of money to control the trade and undersell their rivals. The plain fact was that unless the market was depleted the Lacka wanna companies could keep prices low, and it is scarcely denied that the whole object of the agitation, which bai not yet ceasod, was to create nn artificial scarcity, and by thus enhancing prices, enable the small operators to hold thoir own with the great corpora tions. And this crime against consumers will un doubtedly be repeated wnenever ciroum ktnnecH shall permit and exif.'cncios require Notwithstanding the boasts of tho President ,.f n.A Miners' Union, it is beyond the power of mining labor to compose the dilferuuoea of mining capital, aud there can be no perma nent peace or continuous production in the anthracite fields until a balance of power is established betweon the warring millions, or I one side or the other utterly crushod. The I small operators must so combine as to oom- peto on something like equal terms with tho Lackawanna Companies. Above all, they must provide cheaper outlets, and cease to gorge the Heading Ilailroad with their prolits. The public insists that there shall be en during pacification upon some basis of the coal region, ho that the market shall cease to be the prey of speculators. With those great fields lying at tho door tho seaboard is enti tled to cheap fuel. There is no good reason why coal should ever bo more than $G per ton in New York, but so log as the present ngitation continues tho excessive prices now extorted will be demanded and obtained. Looking upon tho matter in its economical aspects, and ignoring"; the humanitarian, the public demand the application of any remedy that promises to be effoctnil. It is something to consumers that the miner shall le fairly paid, and the small operators saved from the maw of the anthracite Titans; but they are apt to consider cheap coal of more consequence. So if those operators cannot combine they must be swallowed by their rivals, and peace established by the ab sorption of the anthracite fields by the few great corporations. There would, of course, be an outcry about grinding monopolies; but we believe that cheap fuel would be the re sult. With so many millions invested the monopolies could only endure by the greatest possible production; and the market being kept overstocked, comparatively low prices M ould be the inevitable consequence. We do not advocate this elevation of the great corporations; we would rather see a combination of the Schuylkill operators against them ns better for tho miners and equally good for the consumer. But we do demand in the public interest that the little games of last year and this shall not bo re peated at the expense of the people. THE PARAGUAYAN WAR LATEST FROM LOrEZ. From the N. Y. Herald. However diversified may be tho opinions of people regarding the character of the Pre sident of the republic of Paraguay, there are few who will deny that ho is a man of pluck and daring, fertile in resources and capable of great endurance. For over four years has he struggled against the formidable army of the allies operating against him, and tho ability he has displayed, the bravery with which he has fought, and the strategy which he has invariably exhibited, entitle him to rank with the greatest heroes of modern days. Driven from his capital at Asuncion, boaten on the Parana river, routed nt Ascurra and at Peribuby, and badly defeated nt Curupaiti, he still lives to continue the fight and maintain the independence of the republic. Tho latest accounts from tho seat of war in form us that Lopez has strongly entrenched himself in tho Grand Cordilleras. His posi tion is described ns being almost impregna ble, and, from present appearances, bore will ho remain until his army is sufficiently strengthened to again take the field and as sume tho aggressive. On tho other hand the announcement is mado that dissensions have arisen in the allied army; and that the Argen tines were preparing to dissolve thoir cove nant with tho Brazilians and depart for homo. If recent accounts prove true, that the allies are about to depart from Paraguay, leaving, however, a small force at Asuncion for the protection of tho provisional government there, their operations for the last few years against Lopez will result in no advantages to them. Tho man who for so long a period could withstand disastrous defeats and sustain losses enough to strike dismay to the heart of one less brave and demoralize followers far less tenacious, and still exhibit as bold a front os ever, will not remain active long, and be fore many months pass it would not surprise us if, with his army recuperatod, he came forth from his fastnesses in tho mountains, regained his former positions, and compelled the provisional government at Asuncion which only a short time since declared Lopez an outlaw to flee before his victorious march. If Lopez is tho inhuman savago which he is by some represented to be, how is it that he is enabled to hold toget her his army, or now can it be explained that the people, even in many instances the women, rally around his stand ard 't The allied armies have traversed trium phantly a large tract of Paraguay, and have oll'ered great inducements to the people to engage with them in their efforts ' against Lopez; yet we find not more than five hun dred Paraguayans are fighting with the Count dEu. Aside from the alleged brutality of Lopez, it is undeniable that the Paraguayan chief is making a brave fight against over whelming odds for the maintenance of re publican principles, and a fierce aud stubborn resistance against me encroauumems 01 mo Brazilian monarchy. That European govern ments should stand aloof ana appear uncon cerned spectators of the progress of events in South America is apparent. Brazil alone, thev think, can settle the question. uv. whv the American republics should display .the same degree of apathy it is hard to say. However, Lopez still lives, ins position to-day is said to be safe. The fight is not yet ended, and how it will terminate is a question tne luture aione win aetermine. THE SPANISH GUNBOATS. From the N. Y. World. The case of the rrtmbnats ls.no doubt, ono of frreat dlilloulty to tleclae. Wo have not recognized the insurgents In (Julia as bullijroronts, and Spain cau, If Bho is so minded, build vessels nere ior me preservation of peace In her own territories. If It be proved that the gunboat ore ousigueu ior cuua, we should have no right to stop tht-m. Bat they are detained on complaint of the Peruvian Minister. A power wltn wnicli we are at peace represents mat a hostile fleet Is being fitted out In our ports agalust Uer. What, then, Is to be done?" Htu York Timm. The Times, as it progresses in its examina tion of international obligations, sings a lower and lower note in respect to tho detention of these gunboats. It was but a few weeks ago that our neighbor was positive that "llesh and blood" could not endure the release of these powerful instruments of coast defense. To day, however, our neighbor is clear that, if the boats "are designed for Cuba, wo have no right to stop them." But tho assertion of the Peruvian Minister, that they are intended by Spain to cruise aud commit hostilities against that republio, puzzles and confounds the New York organ of the administration. In its agony of doubt.it exclaims: "What, then, is to be done "r" To persons aspiring to only an average de gree of sense, the answer seems obvious. Grant seized these beats, six or eight week ago, on the ipe. dixit of the Poruviau Minis ter. Not an iota or scintilla of evidence to sustain the allegation of the Minister was laid before the President as to the destination of the gunboats. The mere breath of the Peru vian representative embargoed the property. On the other lianu, the Spanish officer who contracted for the building of the boats and their armament and the Spanish Minister de clare that tho boats were built for ooast use in Cuba, aro fitted for nothing else, and will be employed for nothing else. Upon this state of facts, President Grant has bnt to send for his good friend, the rem vian Minister, and ask him for the proof of the truth of his assertions. If he fails to fur nish it, there is an end of the matter. If he offers evidence which seems to sustain his averments, then Grant has but to turn the whole subject over to District Attorney Pier repont, directing him to libel the boats in court, on the allegations of tho Peruvian Minister, and let tho judiciary decide accord ing to the law and facts. ' . ' The truth is that Grant scizod those gun boats on the idea that political capital for himself was to be made out of the act, and Judge Ticrrepont tried to emphasize tho re sult at Syracuse last week. But the move ment fell Hat because the public saw tho trick. THE PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO ELEC- . HONS. From the X. Y. Sun, t In about one week elections take place in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They are the most important of all the elections which occur in October, for tho results will indicate some thing as to tho drift of political affairs. The September elections meant nothing. Every body knew that California would go Demo cratic, and that Vermont and Maine would go Republican; but doubt hangs over the result in Pennsylvania and Ohio, aud both States are being contested with a good deal of warmth. If Packer and Pendleton, the Democratic candidates for Governor, are chosen, it will throw a dark cloud over the future prospects of tho Republican cause. If, on the contrary, both are defeated, it will show that the Democrats have not tact enough to take advantage of the demoralization diffused through the Republican ranks by tho blunders of Grant's administration. Be sides, the failure of Pendleton to carry Ohio now, would bo a blow to his Presidential aspi rations for 1872 from which lie would not be likely to recover. Fully appreciating tho importance of the current canvass, both parties in these two great central States are doing thoir utmost for success. Each State is alive with mass meet ings and stump speeches, and tho result is looked for with keen solicitude by politicians all over tho Union. SPECIAL NOTICES. OFFICE ST.
