BOUTWELL ON FINANCIAL HONESTY.
prom th X. Y. Tribune.
Mr. Bontwell's Rpeech in Philadelphia in
culcates two principal lesHons: 1. That hon
esty in dealing with our national finances is
tho best policy; 2. That it ia perfectly easy.
There is no way of dodging our obligation to
pay the debt, prinoipal and interest, in coin or
it equivalent, according to promine, unless
we are prepared for BtraighJforward repudia
tion. Payment in greenbacks ia not payment
at all; it is giving a promise to pay in exchange
for another promise, and imagining that by
that easy procoss the whole soore is wiped out.
Our bonds call for payment at a certain date;
suppose when the fixed times arrive, instead
of paying them we hand onr creditors
greenbacks, which are mere promises to pay,
ut some future day not specified, bearing no
interest and having no intrinsic value?
Of course, the moment this scheme is adopted
the bonds depreciate in value. But the bonds
are the foundation of the entire banking busi
ness of the country; they are tho securities of
the national banks and savings institutions.
"Whatever lessens their value shakos the credit
of the currency which is based upon them,
and the greatest sufif erers will bo the savings
fcanks in which the working classes have de
posited their surplus earnings. Moreover,
when we come to exchange those bonds for
greenbacks we must create an immense over
issue of currency, and so deprociate our paper
still more. Svho will be the principal victims
of these disasters ? Not the rich, for they will
make haste to exchange their bonds and cur
rency for real estate and other Bpecias of pro
perty; but tho poor, whose savings will bo lost
by the failure of the banks, and upon whom
the distress of high prices will fall with un
HBual severity. Nor is this all. We are now
paying to European holders of our securities
a much higher interest than they can get at
home. If we continue paying off our debt
honestly and quickly as we are doing now,
there is little doubt that we shall be able to
fund a large part of it at four per cent., in
stead of six, and foreign capitalists as well as
onr own people will gladly take it at that rato,
in view of the certainty of prompt payment of
principal und interest. By this means Mr.
iioutwell estimates that we can save annually
from $ 18,000,000 to $2.-, 000, 000 of interest.
Of course, if the Backer and Fondleton policy
is to prevail, we cannot hope to carry out any
such plan as this; oar bonds will be thrown
npon our hands as fast as the European
holders can get rid of them, and instead of
funding at four per cent,, we shall hardly be
able to sell them at all. Pennsylvania will
consider carefully, we hope, before voting to
day, whether it is worth while to have
Mr. Tacker for Governor at an expense to the
country of $25,000,000 a year.
Not only is a strict performance of our obli
gations the cheapest thing wo can do, but it
is so easy that the wonder is how any honost
man should try to escape it. In 1801 our
debt amounted to is8:i,ooa,000. Our ponula
tion at that time was about 3,000,000, and
the value of property in tho country proba
bly didnotexceed l,r00,00i),000. Yotby 1830
that debt, and the heavy cost of the war
of 1812, also, were practically extinguished,
only $;sou)00 remaining duo, so Mat we
actually distributed our surplus revenue
among the States. Now we have a popula
tion of 40,000,000, and $00,000,000,000 worth
of property, with a debt of $3,500,000,000 at
theclobe of the lato war, we were theroforefar
less heavily burdened then we had been at
the beginning of the century. To express it in
figures, in 1801 we owed ijjsl on every $18 of
property; in 18(15 we owed $1 on every $14;
and considering how enormously tho produc
tion of wealth has been facilitated within the
last fifty years by labor-saving inventions,
this is actually a difference in favor of our
present situation. In four years we have
already reduced the debt to $2,400,000,000,
and during the seven months of General
Grant's faithful and economical administra
tion the reduction has been no less than
$57,000,000. Under the present system of
taxation we can pay off $100,000,000 a year;
that would extinguish the debt in fourteen
years. If we reduce taxes and pay off
$50,000,000 a year, we shall wipe out the
whole interest-bearing debt in twenty-two
years. How, then, can there bo any hesita
tion as to our proper course 'f
We do not suppose the elections to-day will
actually direct the financial policy of the
United States. Even the triumph of Packer
and Pendleton would not insure the adoption
of the greenback heresy to which they have
given their innuenoe. But tho immediate
success or long postponement of the plan for
saving $25,000,000 a year by funding part of
the debt at 4 per cent, does uopond upon the
prompt rejection by the American people of
every candidate who is not resolute that the
good faith of the nation shall be kept invio
late. Mr. Pendleton is a very accomplished
gentleman; Mr. Packer is a substantial citizen;
but we can't afford to have them for Gover
nors of Ohio and Pennsylvania at a cost of
$25,000,000 a year.
THE PRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.
From the X. Y. World.
A New Haven paper observes that the
course of the New York Sun in attacking
President Grant seems to be dictated by
sheer spite. Up to the time of Grant's in
auguration, it truly says, no paper was more
profuse in panegyric of him than that one.
But when it appeared that ho was not minded
to reciprocate this adulation with the be
stowal of an office suitable to Mr. Dana's ap
preciation of Mr. Daua a services, Mr. Dun i's
paper turned again and rent him.
Singular to say, the Sun does not iulig
nantly deny this charge. Contrariwise, it
confesses it, by implication, thus:
"This we regard as one of the most damaging m-
Baulta upon the reputation 01 uenerat wraiit tor i-uni
mon Bonne and ordinary sagacity tluit wo ltav ev-i
met with. If It be true thAt lie could have had tliu
continued and cordial support of the Suit on tho
Simple condition of giving an oillce to Its editor, was
he not a fool not to Rive It ? Considering how many
oillces General Grant has given away t. men who
deserved nothing, and who have since dono nothing
but damage his administration and help In breaking
down his party ; considering how lavisrt he wm in
bestowing honors and emoluments on his relations
and cronies, it certainly would have been prudent if
lie had given a little variety to his programme by en
listing an ante editor or twu 111 nuni a way ns ki
make them the hearty defenders of his good acts
and ' the shrewd apologists of his luoviuhle
blunders."
That is to say, if it is to the immediate in
terest of Grant to secure tho silence of th
press by bribing editors, is he not a "fool"
unless he does it? The serene unconscious
ness of any distinction between right and
wrong which such a declaration as this 1111
nliesisof a niece, to be sure, with the coa
duct lor which it is put forward as an excuse,
but it is nevertheless shameful for any Ame
rican journalist to feel and disgraceful for
Lim to avow.
In effect, Mr. Dana says to Mr. Grant: "I
nni a pullio watch dog; you might havo kept
me quiet with a slice of beef, but you have I
chosen to refuse it to me. and now vou snail
feel my fangs. Even President Grant has
not sunk so low as not to be able to despise
attacks which are instigated by bo sordid a 1
motive aa this, even though they go the
length of charging him with corrupt com
plicity in tho designs 01 a knot of golti gam
blers. When a trader in reputations confesses
that the failure of an attempt to levy black
mail moves him to blacken reputations, the
object of his ribald spite can very well afford
to laugh at him.
Uut public miscuief may, nevortneioss, oe
wrought by such avowals as this. In the
first place, they lead people to suspect the
sincerity of many attacks npon the adminis
tration which are dictated by a sense of pub
lic duty, and not by the private spite which
nnimates such assaults as tnoso 01 Mr. i).nx.
Here, surmorters of the administration may
reasonably say, is one newspaper which con
siders the I'residont a "looi lor reiusiug to
buy its approbation, and thereupon gives him
gratis its abuse. May wo not suppose that
the same feeling is at the bottom of othor
criticisms, the authors of which are yet too
shrewd to betray tho grounds of their hos
tility as Mr. Dana has betrayed his?
l or ourselves, ana lor tno wnoio decent
portion of the American press, wo disclaim
participation in snob, sentiments as these of
the ban. It is too obvious to need moro
than mere statement that it is essential to tho
value of newspaper criticism that it should be
entirety disinterested. The men who admin
ihter it must be entirely beyond eithor the
open bribe of money or the scarcely less open
bribe of office. If they do not write solely in
the interest of their client, the public, their
strictures are not worth a straw. If they
praise officials because they hope to got ofliuo
from them, and attack them when they have
failed to got office from them; or if they pan
dor to the baser portion of the people with
reckless abuse, and make of what should be a
public guide merely a catch-penny private
adventure, they not only render their own re
marks worthless, and their own characters
contemptible, but they bring into disrepute
the press of which they form a part.
It is to fix this disrepute where it belongs
that we take this notice of Mr. Dana and his
paper. We believe that there is no othar
journalist of any standing in the country
who would bo or who would avow himself to
be influenced by such motives as he has taken
for granted that all journalists are influenced
by. Tho conduct of a man at the head of a
metropolitan newspaper who permits his pub
lic utterances to be dictated by his private
grudges can only bo characterized as ras
cally. And a journalist who assumes that
such grudges ore a common motive of action
to all his brethren is guilty, in addition, of a
flagrant insult to the honorable members of
his profession.
THOSE SPANISH GUNBOATS,
from the X. Y. Herald.
Thirty Spanish gunboats are being built in
this city, or in tne neighborhood, lor some
object which up to the present time it is difli
cult to determine. The Peruvian government
believed that Spain had hostile intentions
towards the Peruvian nation; but this idea
being ridiculed by Serrano's agents hero, we
lot it pass. Chili may also be regardod safe.
It is hardly possible that tho proud Dons will
again attempt tho undertaking of reconstruct
ing the Dominican republic, and as for this
warlike fleet being intended for operations
against the Ever Faithful Isle, it is sheer non
sense; for have wo not been informed, time aud
time again by good and reliable authority
Spanish, of course that the.Cuban revolution
is a mere nothing; that the insurgents have no
government, no money, no meu in arms, no
seaports, in fact, that they have nothing that
can entitle them to recognition? To be sure,
Spain has sent troops to Cuba; but then it
must be borne in mind that the Spanish trea
sury is full, the people are proud and warlike
and ambitious for display, and perhaps the
forces that have been or are being sent from
Cadiz are only intended for exhibition and to
impress upon the youthful republic of the
United States what it might expect if it
should dare to recognize the -insurgents
What if four Governments have already
looked with favor and sympathized with the
Rebels? They are only republics. But that
Spain is not pleased with their action is evi
dent from the fact that she has sot her foot
down and doclarod that no further
recognition will be permitted. In face of
all this would it not be madness lor
the United States to recognize the
patriots? Can anything more forcibly be
asserted in vindication of non-intervention
on our part ? Has not Spain a standing army,
(1 great navy, immense resources, and power
ful allies r lias she not a fleet or gnnnoats
building here which, in the event of their
getting to sea and having no Cuban ports to
guard, mignt, 11 tne united otates govern
ment was so reckless as to recognize Cuba,
blockade our harbors and destroy our com
merce ? What if Spain did shelter the Suaiter
and the Alabama before her Government
recocmized the belligereut rights of the
slaveholders' Rebellion ? Had she
a perfect right to do so, for is
not
she
not strong, and was she not at one
time mistress of the seas ? Things have
taken a more serious turn than the people
think. Without a standing army, what could
we do against Spain ? These are thoughts
which ore worthy of consideration, serious or
otherwise. Is tho republic of the West, then,
in dancer? or what does the threat of Spain
and Spanish journalists amount to ? Simply
this idle bombast, and nothing more. Why,
the United States would, if Spain became
presumptuous, think no more of chastising
her than a schoolmaster, with his birchen
rod, would hesitate to flog on ill-behaved boy,
Let these blustering, bombastio Spaniards
cease this nonsense, and speak of the situation
as it presents itself as thoughtful and sensible
men
A. J
From the X. Y. Time.
Whatever may be the result of the Senato
rial contest in Mennessee, its termination
must afford relief to the adherents of
Andrew Johnson. Even the fecundity of
Southern editors, in lurge-mouthod political
tnniriies, nas nuied to supply the necessary
adulation, and his supporters fall back on
tho pet phrases of the candidate himself,
To read their fulsome expressions is to recall
the oratory that was belched forth while
swinging around the circle. "The Constitu
tion is at stuke ! It must be proseived, pro,
touted, and defended, " shrieks a Nashville
newspaper. "Such decision of character, suoh
determination, such grusp of mind," and, it
might have added, such obstinate and futile
vetoes, arouse the editorial enthusiasm. He
is pronounced "capable of mooting Senators
111 debate with stern logic ana overpowering
fact," such as, wo suppose, his having hell
vurious otlices in the gilt of his countrymen;
and of "arouning tho country to the dangers
by which it is imperilled," us we remember,
by putting the Stars and Stripes under his
personal protection. "Who can so quickly
catch the public car ?" we give it up, unless
perhaps Daniel Tratt, the great
"Amorioaa
Tennessee
traveller. ne resolves or tne
State Convention are quoted, that "in the
discharge of his great functions as Presi
dent of the United States " he
rendered his name illustrious," An opinion
rather tne reverse of the popular verdict.
But a Macon newspaper qualifies its praise
of "that honeBt and incorruptible statesman,"
by admitting that "inflrmitios of temper" miy
be ascribed, to A. J. Jnfirinitic is a Bome
whnt limited though .euphonious word: it is
not, however, a new expression. Even
Timothy had "often infirmities" for which
Paul prescribed, and in one form or another
they are incidental to humanity. But tho
"infirmities" of A. J. are multifarious; and
we should like to have a Tennessee classifica
tion of them, that wo might see what are
deemed venial in that latitude and what
serious. It is just possible that what A. J.
calls mere "infirmities" make him in tho
minds of most mon an almost intolerable
nuisance.
LITEP-ATURE.
REVIEW 0 F ' NE W B 0 0 K 8.
From Claxton, Remson & Haffolfinger
we
have received "Felix Holt." tho third
volume of Harper's Library Edition of George
Eliot's novels. "Felix Holt" is loss popular
than most of the other writings of this author,
but it is a work of romarkablo power, and tho
characters are drawn with all tho subtle skill
for which she is celebrated.
,Tho same house sends us Harper &
Brothers' paper edition of Thackeray's "Pen
donnis," with reproductions of the author's
illustrations. These are not always up to a
high art standard, but they are very characte
ristic, and it is very certain that no one hus
illustrated Thackeray's writings as well as he
did himself.
From Turner Brothers & Co. wo havo re
ceived "Catharine," a story that Thackeray
contributed to Frascr's Magazine about
thirty years ago, under the nom do plume of
Ikey Solomons, Juu., with a view of bringing
into discredit works of Bulwer, Ainsworth,
and Reynolds, that made highwaymen and
burglars the heroes of romantic exploits, thus
enlisting for them a sympathy and admi
ration that could not fail to have an injurious
effect. The incidents of tho story are
founded upon a peculiarly revolting murder
that was actually committed in the year 1720,
and it is anything but pleasant reading.
The same house sends us "Too Bright to
Last," a very well-written aud interesting
novel of English life, published, like the
above, by Fields, Osgood & Co.
From T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have
received four volumes of the "Lake Shore
Series," by Oliver Optio. Published by Lee
& Shepard. These includo "Switch Off;
"On Time;" "Through by Daylight," anl
"Lightning Express," all of which have
attracted much attention while being pub
lished serially in Our Dy' and Oirln' Maga
zinc. The four volumes are put up in a neat
paper box.
The American Sunday School Union send
us "Norah's Life at Dornclcugh," a religious
story for children.
JtroniJJ. an JNostrand, JNow lorK, we
have recoivod tho August, September, and
October numbers of -Van 3Tont rand's Eelectk
Engineering Magazine. This publication is
edited by Alex. L. Holley, Esq., an engineer
of reputation, and its contents aro judiciously
selected from the best American and foreign
engineering serials. The magazine presents
a great variety of subjects in each number,
embracing the whole field of practical and
scientific engineering; and it presents in a
moderate compass a large amount of informa
tion that would be wholly out of the reach of
the majority of those who are interested
such matters. The magazine has not yet
completed its first volume, but it has already
taken its place as a first-class publication that
no engineer who wished to be posted with
rogard to the progress of his profession
should be without.
The Gardener's Monthly for October,
published by Brinckloe & Marot, No. 23
South Sixth street, contains a number of in
teresting articles on horticultural subjects.
The Ootober number of the Journal of
the Uynceowgical Society of Boston presents a
report of the proceedings of the society, and
several valuable treatises en the diseases of
women which are of interest to the medical
fraternity.
