The Chinaman saves all of his meagre pittance of wages, contributes nothing to the growth and prosperity of the community, and at the expiration of bis servitude returns to the land of the Celestials. Let the Chinaman come here as do other emigrants, with the purpose of becoming American citizens in the full sense, and the labor of the country would be the first to welcome him into jib ranks. Bit the system of importion in gangs upon long contracts —which is nothing, ess than voluntary slavery—is an outrage upoo justice and decency, and if perse vered in will soon render the protection ■ i Amercan labor a fit subject for legis -•ion.—McKean Miner, GOLD OK PAPER. it is very evident from the April pro eiaoiaie of Secretary R chardson that he is even mire bent upm contraction than c.s predecessor, that he is anxious to Di.hg abmt a return, to specie payments, and thut he .regards cinlraclion of the present circulating medium as the surest road thereto. Tnat he sincerely believes h.s policy to be suited lo'the needs of the d ■ entry there is no reason to doubt, but ho shouidc'be" 4 open to conviction, if good reason be urged against persistence in sach a course. If it cin be shown that ’ce industries of the country are lan g-fishing because of the scarcity of ex change, and that the ability of the com munity to reach a gold basis is thereby d'minished, surely he ought to pause and* cicsider whether in following out a mere tu tnora of his own he is not endanger ing the permanent prosperity of the coun try. unusual depression does exist in aianst every department of industry should be apparent to every one. The fact forces itself upon the notice even of 'he most heedless. On every hand evi dences of it are to be met with. The rea son for it is not far to seek. Money is so that the purchasing power of the people is crippled, and demand for com modities therefore fails. That money is scarce is owing to the rapid expansion of ■he country and its energies, in the face ot a rigidly inflexible volume of curren -v., The amount that was ample enough •°r ! oui requirements a few years ago is R -together inadequate for the increased r there must be no with drawal of it by the Goyerpmont, On the whatever.power ihe Govern ment possesses of pouring money into the market must be to. The, Gov eminent under our existpg system of fi nance. hxs all, the js _now ne cessary to relax- tije great r stringency from; which every industry in the land suffers. Jt has reserves;of currency upon which it may draw, and as the Govern ment Is supposed to be run for the wel fare of the nation at large and not in the interests of the moneyed few, these re serves should be let loose, that they may flow into and bless all departments of bus iness. It is this capacity of expansion which is inherent in our paper money system that constitutes its vast superiority over gold in the present condition of the coun try. All that ig .requisite is that this elas ticity should be fully recognized as conduc ing to prosperity. That expansion leads to enhanced ;prices and to unnatural and dangerous- inflation cannot be maintain ed. By making money plentiful and cheap, !! affords fa’J .opportunity to en terprise^do develop pur resources ;it pro vides ample elupfoy meat at,good wages for the whole population, and so endues them with a large purchasing power that renders the demand, tor commodities per manently large. And in the course of this increased production, new labor sav ing appliances are discovered, and while wages remain high and employment am pie, prices fall, gradually Improving our positions as exporters. That this is no idle painting of the imagination experi ence has already in a measure proved, while the currency was sufficient for our needs. And this progress w.ould be re sumed now were proper means taken to insure an adequate supply of the circula ting medium. This is an all-sufficient argument against any straining after resumption of specie payments.' Now we are independ ent, through our inexpoitable currency, of all foreign financial d isturbances. We can, if we only live, increase the volume of our money as our necessities require. But were .gold the b i3 * 9 pf our circula tion, with the present heavy adverse bal ance of trade, we should be liable at any moment to be deprived of an'all-imports ant amount of the circulating medium, simply because gild being the only com modity fixed in price, foreigners would take it unless we sacrifice 1 oar other pro-' ductions. This would result in financial .lisasier, auu «uud w •-**> current with every wave of triable from the other shore of the Atlantic. While we preserve oar national money we are safe trom such calamities, and can by ju dicious management so regulate our in ternal affiirs as to maintain constant prosperity, and in time to turn the ad verse balance of trade into one in our fa vor. Then the question of gold or paper can be advantageously discussed. But at present all attempts to force a solution by contraction cannot be fraught with other than overwhelming disaster. — Phila. Even ing Teleg-iaph. The Conversion of the National Loan. The various cliques of brokers in the city nt New York have taken unusual pains to obscure the question of the con version of the «ix per cent, interest-bear ing bonds into five per cents. The charge is that the Secretary, by allowing three months’ interest on both the old and the j new bonds, virtually paid one and one- 1 quarter of one per centum premium to European bankers for negotiating saul loan. Congress only allowed one-half of j one per cent, for the payment of engrav j ing, printing, and paper, and all other ! incidental expenses of bringing these \ bonds into the market; and,of course, no j margin remained which’would induce any | one to take any interest in the conver- j sion. If, then, the negotiation has cost us i on© and a quarter of one per cent., it is 1 by far the most economical transaction of i the kind that has ever liken place. The | enemies of the plan have been unable to i show that it was possible to negotiate j these bonds for a less amount; and, since the difference of interest, amounting to one per cent., has been stopped forever, sur’ly the payment of one and a quarter of one per cent.—which was only the .ad ditional interest for one year and a qaar ter —resulted in a very decided advantage to the Government. Considering the state of the European money market, this conversion, on these terms, was one of the most memorable financial achievements of our times. —Republic Magazine.
