THE CURRENCY QUESTION
Tile message of the President, vetoing
the Senate Currency Bill, will be found in
this issue. Whether the President is
Right or Wrong in this matter, with our
inexperience in National Finances, we
will not undertake to say. It may be
possible that while the position taken by
him strikes the interests of three-fourths
of the country a fearful blow, that, in the
long run, the policy may vindicate itself.
Whether this will be the case or not we
will not attempt to predict. But we un
hesitatingly say we do know the circum
stances that surround us. There is a
fearful dearth of currency. The best bu
siness men in the community are left
without the means to push their business.
lien of comparative wealth cannot get
money wherewith to pay without paying
enormous rates of interest. There are
consequently two classes that are suffering
fearfully—the debtor and creditor who
constitute the borrowers, and they are
arrayed against the lender. The Presi
dent's position finds a warm advocate in
the lender, while it. is much deplored by
the other, and' much more numerous class.
It must be obvious to any one that the
President's theory will be much more
popular in the great money centres than
in the country. The useful men of the
country arc the ones that are suffering,
and these are the men who make it tell at
elections. It is a very strange thing that,
after five long months of effort, Congress
has given us just nothing! The business
of the country has been prostrated, tens of
thousands have been turned out of employ
ment, and starvation has been staring the
working classes in the face, all over the
land, and yet Congress gives no:relief ! It
looks like sending all our industries to the
dogs, and starving one third of our popula
tion to enable us to get down to a specie
paying basis.
vEs.. The Department of Agrieultuve has
received very full inforniation concerning
the appearance of wheat throughout the
country. The returns cover a large pro
portion of the winter wheat area in each
State. The winter has been extremely
favorable in all sections; no previous sea
son has been more generally so since the
inauguration of tile crop reports. In the
South, very few exceptions to the general
vigor, and even a luxuriance of growth
have appeared. In the Gulf coast region,
the winter pasturing of wheat fields has
been practiced to the advantage of the
crop. In New York. and Pennsylvania
the weather, since the middlo of March,
has been unfavorable, on account of sud
den changes of temperature and cold winds,
to the injury of wheat on clay and un
drained lands. In Ontario, Niagara, Liv
ingston and Genesee, the four counties
which produce one-third of the winter
wheat of New York, average expectations
'are entertained, though some injury from
freezing and thawing on low ground is
reported. The promise is remarkable in
Pennsylvania, nine-tenths of the counties
making favorable returns—many of them
very flattering. Fully three-fourths of
the counties of the Ohio valley report
either an average or superior condition.—
Beyond the Mississippi, Missouri and
Kansas have still fewer unpromising re
ports. There are reports from the North
west which are more favorable than usual.
The prospect in California is very promis
ing, though complaints of injury from an
unusual cause, wet weather, come from
several counties. The Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture reports promise
of forty million bushels in the State.
cea. The Democratic Senators, to fbrce
the Republicans into certain concessions,
in the apportionment, have determined to
vote against the confirmation of all ap
pointments of judges by the Governor.
They have the power to make this effect
ive, as it requires a two-third vote of all
Senators elected to confirm. The Demo
crats have no objections to the gentlemen
appointed, but demand certain political ad
vantages as their price for voting to con-,
firm them. This, the majority decline to
concede. The threat is disgraceful to
those engaged in it., and is equivalent to
sailing their votes fur a consideration. On
the question of confirmation, Senators sit
as judges, and the only question should be
as to the fitness of the nominee. This
was the view taken by Republican Sena
tors, and, believing this, they held no cau
cus on the question, while the Democrats
plotted in secret.
ger This weather is pretty bad, but let
us not complain. We are better off than
our neighbors out in the West. It is
snowing yet. Three men froze to death
in a snow storm in lowa, on Monday of
last week. Louisiana and Mississippi are
in distress through floods in the Father of
Waters, and the latest news from Alabama
tells of excessive rain, causing disastrous
consequences to the low country in some
parts of the State. It looks as though the
elements had combined against the coun
try.
:Er Lovers of the luscious peach will
rejoice to learn that there is every prospect
of an average crop. Those whose lips are
already puckering in anticipation of that
none less delightful fruit, the sweet and
sanative strawberry, can roll the same
comforting morsel under their tongues.
Our New York Letter,
Gambling, Gamblers and Gambling Hou
ses—The Centennial—Rcrival of an old
SwindL—Th, Cur,enry—Tlie "Boss."
NEW YORK, April 27, 1874.
THE GAMBLERS
EDITOR
Have had tbr a year past a rather hard time
of it. The city officials got a spasm of vir
tue, and where the officers on the beat were
not properly "seen." they were liable to
constant "pulling." Pardon the techni
calities. But9:be gamblers have at last si
lenced the guardians of the law, and they
arc going on as usual. A first-class gamb
ling house is a curious place.
The establishment is known among
sports as a "Club Howe." Externally, it
is a quiet, rather elegant house, that the
passer-by would suppose to be the dwelling
of some reputable, well to-do citizen. You
ascend the flight of steps—the outer hall
door is open, and you ring. You notice
that in the inner ball door is a wicket.—
This wicket flies open, and a gentlemanly
negro's Lee appears. If you are known
you are admitted without ceremony; if not
a card or reference is required. Entering
the hall, you find at the end of it a recep
tion room gorgeously furnished. The]. is
an elegant side-board on which stands bot
tles of every. possible variety of liquor:,
which are free to all visitors. Nay more,
if you desire a mixed drive,: an obliging
waiter stands ready to mix them fir you.
You need have no hesitation of partaking;
the more you drink the better the pro
prietors are pleased. In what in any oth
er house would be the back parlor the fa
ro game commence§ at about eight o'clock.
The dealer is, as a rule, a handsome man
with a dissipated air, but who has a face
of marble. He appears to know nothing,
see nothing, but the cards which he deals
and the chips on the board. lle sits in an
easy chair under a strong gas light, with
a shade over his eyes, and shuffles, deals
and gives the winners chips, and hauls in
the chips of the losers. -You will see about
the table merchants in a small way, bank
clerks, speculators, commercial aril un
commercial travelers, railroad runners,
street-car conductors. merchants, clerks
and contractors seated side by side eagerly
watching the turn of the cards. The pro
prietor of house mixes with his guests
in an easy, pleasant way, congratulating
the winners of his money, and saying
pleasant things to the. losers; the latter
service being the most onerous.
At mid-night precisely the game closes
for supper. A magnificent supper room is
thrown open and everybody is invited to
enter. And such a supper! John Cham
berlin pays his head cook $5,000 per an
num, and the servants are of the best pos
sible class. The table absolutely groans
under its load of delicacies. If there is a
fish that is particularly rare—worth say,
$1.50 per pound—you may be sure of see
ing it on the table, game at no matter
what cost, dishes such as a Roman empe
ror would have mortgaged a province fbr,
are as common as possible, and wines, bless
me! Delmonico never had such—for the
public at least. And all this absolutely
free ! Many well-known gormands who do
not play, frequent these houses, and risk
$lO or $2O just for an excuse to stay at
supper.
Ilut as lavish as is this expenditure for
entertainment•the business is wonderfully
profitable. •The bank has about six chances
in nine of winning; so no scatter how the
game runs, the end is inevitable. Play
long enough and you break. That it is
profitable is shown in the way the propri
etors live—costly dianiondsflash from their
fingers and shirt fronts, they drive the
best and fastest horses ; and . in fact, they
enjoy, if it may be called enjoyment, every
sensual delight that the world affords.—
But there comes an end. Fast living
harts the physical man ; the frequent ex
citement of the life tells upon the mental
man, and they all die young, the merest
wrecks. The laws of nature are inexorable
and inflexible.
THE CENTENNIAL.
A committee of Philadelphians are in
the city now, endeavoring to get up some
interest in the great exposition which is to
be held in Philadelphia in 1876, commem
orating the Centennial of American Inde
pendence. New York has regarded this
great enterprise unfavorably, probably from
the little jealousy that always exists be
tween greareities that are so near to each
other. But the cummittee succeeded in
removing the feeling, and New York will
join heartily with Philadelphia in making
the Centennial the greatest and grandest
occasion the world ever saw. The Expo
sition will open in April and continue till
October. The buildings will be on a scale
qf magnitude never before attempted, and
all the countries of the world are invited
to show therein their best work. What
an occasion it will be ! The Nation will
be a hundred years old. The thirteen
sparsely settled colonies are now almost
three times that number. One hundred
years ago we had no manufactures; now
we compete in the markets of the world
with the older peoples. In Philadelphia,
where American liberty drely its first
breath, the people of this country will
meet, in ffiendly rivalry, the world. Eng
land will have on exhibition the results of
her diversified industry, France, Belgium,
Germany, and the Oriental countries will
all participate. The American who does
not wish this great enterprise all success is
not worthy of his birthright.
The funds necessary are being raised
partly by the city of Philadelphia and its
citizens, and Ey subscriptions to its capital
stock. The shares have been put by Con
gress at $lO, and are being rapidly taken,
as they should be. Frederick Fraley, 904
Walnut St., Philadelphia, is the Treat'.
rer. Speaking of the Expcsition, the first
sewing machine ever made in this country
is now, I believe, in Ohio. It is a cum
brous east and wrought-iron and timber
affair, nine feet long. Would it not be a
curious thing to see that machine side-by
side with the perfect automaton of to-day ?
Would it not be an instructive thing to
see the printing-press of Franklin, side-by
side with the mammoth ten-cylinder of
Hoe ?
AN OLD SWINDLE.
The Saw-dust swindlers are at it again.
This time they have revived an old dodge
which it was presumed had lain long
enough to have been forgotten. They send
a letter with an engraved heading dated
"Arcade Hotel," 737 Broadway, stating
that a man registered as "John Thomp
son" 'died at the hotel, the first instant, of
appoplexy, and that he loft a trunk, which
being examined, revealed a fine gold
watch, two silver-mounted revolvers, val
uable cloathing, &c., and among other
things a letter addressed to the person to
whom the swindlers address the letter,
from which &et they presume a relation
ship. Mr. Thompson left a board-bill for
$17.25 unpaid, on receipt of which, by
Adam's Express, the trunk will be for
warded. And this epistle signed E. Col
linwater. •
Now if the person receiving this letter is
dishonest enough to want to gobble a trunk
with valuables which he knows does not
belong to him, and is verdant enough to
fall into the trap, he sends $17.25, which
he never hears trout. The Post-Office is
now closed against these swindlers, so they
use the Express Company. It is needless
to say there is co Arcade Hotel at 737
Broadway. The Express Companies have
been notified, and they have agreed not to
deliver money packages to Collinwater.—
His little game is blocked.
TILE CURRENCY QUESTION
I have foUnd a very large number of
business men in this city who are infla
tionists, which shows that the sentiment
of New York is not all one way. The line
is drawn here precisely as it is everywhere
—the men who have their millions made,
and are out of business, want no more cur
rency, because - they want what they have
—money—to he as valuable as possible.--
On the other hand the men in business
who have their money yet to make, want
more currency, that the business out of
which they expect to make their money
may be kept brisk. So when you hear or
New York opinion on (lie increase of cur
rency, remember that there are two sides
and two parties I honestly believe that
a majority of New York is to-day for an
increase of currency.
110St3 TWEED
Has been baring a tolerably good time of
it on Illackwell's Island, which he wishes
to have continued, but unfortunately there
MIS a movement to have him sent back to
his place in the hospital. Immediately
the Boss objected to going to the hospital
because there was stuall-pax there which
fact was certified toil the officials in the
hospital. • And upon examination, a pa
tient was found who had an eruption that
lloked wondrously like iaeipient small-pox.
But alas! for Tweed, Dr. Macdonald, chief
of staff, took the patient, and made hint
confess that the eruption had been produ
ced by rubbing croten-oil on the skin, and
that officers of the Penitentiary wore in
the conspiracy. And now comes the pa
pers demanding that Wss Tweed shall be
treated like any other criminal, that he
be shoved into his proper place, and not
allowed privileges and luxtiries that other
prisoners are. denied. Whether this de-
mand will be heeded on not depends.—
What will not money do ? He has it, and
he uses it. If the public clamor compels
the officials to their duty it wid be a great
triumph. Let ifs hope it will be done.
• PIETRO.
The Veto Message
The President's R,easons for Vetoing the
Currency Bill..
WASHINGTON, April 22.—The following
is the President's Veto Message :
To the Senate of the United States :
Herewith I return Senate bill No. 617,
entitled "An act to fix the amount of
United States notes and the circulation of
national banks, and for other purposes,"
without my approval. In doing so I must
expressmy regret at not being able to give
my assent to a measure which has received
the sanction of a majority of the legislators
chosen by the people to make laws for their
guidance, and I have studiously sought to
find sufficient arguments to justify such
assent, but unsuccessfully. Practically, it
is a question whether the measure under
discussion would give an additional dollar
to the irredeemable paper currency of the
country or not, and whether, by requiring
three-fourths of the reserves to be retained
by the banks, and prohibiting interest to
be received on the balance, it might not
prove a contraction. But the fact cannot
be concealed that theoretically, the bill in
creases the paper circulation one hundred
millions of dollars, less only the amount of
reserves restrained from circulation by the
provisions of the second section. The
measure has been supported on the theory
that it would give increased circulation.
It is a fair inference, therefore, that if, in
practice the measure should fail to create
the abundance of circulation expected of
it, the friends of the measure, particularly
those out of Congress, would clamor for
.such inflation as would give the expected
relief. The theory, in my belief, is a de
parture from the true principles of finance,
national interest, national obligation to
creditors, Congressional promises, party
pledges on the part of both political par
ties, and of the personal views and prom
ises made by me in
. every annual message
sent to Congress, and in each inaugural
address. In my annual message to Con
gress in December, 1869. the following
passages appear : "Among the evils grow
ing out of the rebellion and not yet refer
red to, is that of an irredeemable currency.
It is an evil which I hope will receive your
most earnest attention. It is a duty, and
one of the highest duties of the Govern
ment, to secure to the citizen a medium of
exchange of fixed, unvarying value. This
implies a return to a specie basis, and no
substitute for it can be devised. It should '
be commenced now and reached at the
errliest practicable moment consistent with
a fair regard to the interest of the debtor
class. Immediate resumption, if practica
ble, would not be desirable. It would com
pel the debtor class to pay beyond their
contracts the premium on gold at the date
of their purchase, and would bring bank
ruptcy and ruin to thousands: Fluctua
tions, however, in the paper value of the
measure of all values—gold—is detrimen
tal to the interest of trade. It makes the
man of business an involuntary gambler,
for in, all sales where future payment is to
be made both parties speculate as to-what
will be the value of the currency to be
paid and received. I earnestly recommend
to you, then, such legislation as will in
sure a gradual return of specie payments
and put an immediate stop to fluctuations
in the value of currency." I still adhere
to the views then expressed. As early as
December 4, 1865, the House of Repre
sentatives passed a resolution,. by a vote of
141 yeas to 6 nays, concurring in the views
of tkc Secretary of the Treasury in re
lation to the necessity of a contraction of
the currency, with a view to as early a re
sumption of specie payments as the busi
ness interests of the country will permit,
and pleading co-cperative action to this
end as speedily as possible. The first act
passed by the Forty-first Congress, on the
18th they of March, 1869, was as follows :
"An act to strengthen the public credit of
the United States: Be it enacted, &c.,
that in order to ranove any doubt as to
the purpose of the Government to discharge
all its obligations to the public creditors,
and to settle conflicting questions and in
terpretations of the law by virtue of which
such obligations have been contracted, it
is hereby provided and declared that the
faith of the United 'States is solemnly
pledged to the payment in coin,or its equiv
alent, of all - the obligations of the United
States, and of all the interest-bearing ob
ligations, except in cases where the law
authorizing the issue of any such obliga
tions has expressly provided that the sonic
may be paid in lawful money, or in other
currency than gold and silver; but none
or said interest-bearing obligations not al
ready due shall be redeemed or paid before
maturity unless at. such times as the Uni
ted States notes shall be convertible into
coin at. the option of the holder, or unless
at such time bonds of the United States
bearing a lower rate of interest than bonds
to be redeemed can be sold at par in coin.
And the United States also solemnly
pledges its faith to make prov . :sion at the
earliest practicable period for the redemp
tion of the United States notes in coin.
This act still remains as a continuing
pledge of the faith of the Untied States to
make provision at the erliest practicable
moment for the redemption of the United
States notes in coin. A 'declaration con
tained in the act of June 20, 1864, creat
ed an obligation that the total amount of
United States notes issued, or to be issued,
should never exceed 8400,000,000. The
amount in actual circulation was actually
reduced to $356,000,000, at which point
Congress passed the act of February 4,
1868, suspending the further reduction of
the currency. The forty four millions have
even been regarded as a reserve, to be used
only in case of an emergency, such as has
occurred on several occasions, and must
occur, when from any cause revenues sud
denly nil below expenditures, and such a
reserve is necessary, because the frac
tional currency, amounting to fifty millions
is redeemable in legel tender on ca ll.
It mar be said that each a return of frac
tion al currency for redemption is imp oss i_
ble ; but let steps be taken fir a return to
a specie basis, and it will be found that
silver will take the place of fractional cur
rency as fast as it can he supplied. Wh en
the premium on gold reaches a sufficiently
low point with the amount of United States
notes to be issued permanently within
proper limits, and the Treasury so
strengthened as to be able to redeem them
in coin on detnand,"it will then be safe to
inaugurate a system of free banking, with
such provisions as to make compulsory
redeteption of circulating notes of banks
in coin or United States notes themselves
redeemable, and made equivalent to coin,
as fttneasure preparatory to free bankiuo.;
or for placing the Government in a con
dition to redeem in coin at the earliest
practicable moment. The revenues of the
country should be increased wo as to pay
the current expenses, frrovide for the
sinking fund required by law, and also a
surplus to be retained in the Treasury in
gold. lam not a believer in any artificial
method of making paper money equal to
coin when coin is not owned or held ready
to redeem the promises to pay ; for paper
money is nothing more than promises to
pay. and is valuable exactly in proportion .
to the amount of coin that, it can be
converted into. While coin is not used
as a circulating medium, cr the currency
of the countrl is not convertible into it at
par. it becomes an article of commerce as
much as any other product. The surplus
will seek a foreign market, as will any
other surplus. The balance of trade has
nothing to do with the question. Thedu
tics en imports, being required in coin,
create a limited demand for gold, and about
enough io satisfy that demand remains in
the country. To increase this supply I see
no way open but by the Government
hoarding, through the means above given,
and possibly by requirine• '
the national
banks to aid. It is claimed 'by the advo
cates of the measure herewith returned
that there is an unequal distribution of the
banking capital of the country. I was
disposed to give great weight to this view
of the question at first, but on reflection
it will be remembered that there remains
$4,000,000 of authorized bank-note circu
lation assigned to States having less than
their quota, not yet taken. In addition to
this, the States having less than their quo
ta of bank circulation have the option of
$25,000,000 more to be taken from those
States having more than their proportion.
When this is all taken up, or when specie
payments are fully restored, or are in rapid
process of restoration, will be the time to
consider the question of "wore currency."
U. S. GRANT.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 22, 1874.
News and Notes from Washington
WAsq..., D. C., April 21, 1874.
The bill upon which Congress has labored
during the last four months has been vetoed
by the President. And now that be has done
so the country generally approves the act.—
The Senate and House, at least a majority of
their members ; profess to have been taken by
surprise when the veto, accompanied by a
message by the President, was announced in
Congress. And yet it is difficult now to find
any considerable number of members, even
among those who voted for the bill, who will
venture the assertion that the President has
made a mistake. In fact the arguments con
tained in bis message are unanswerable, and
have brought the conviction to the minds of
all parties that he has done the right thing.--
The message shows a searching discrimination
and a clear judgment upon the real condition
of the country. It is said that the message
was prepared, unaided, by the President him
self, and submitted in rough draft to his Cab
inet at the regular meeting on Tuesday. and
unanimously approved. One thing is certain,
the spirit and decision of the President, as
indicated in his message, are in strict harmo
ny with all his former inaugural addresses
and messages in which his views were ex
pressed upon the questions of currency and a
return to specie payments.
Congress, since the Veto was announced,
has done very little 'work. Individually the
members have been taking new bearings. The
message has caused a large amount of thinking
and evidently to good purpose. There will
be less class and corner legislation in the fu
ture and more direction to the general inter
ests of tile country.
OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The results of our foreign trade for the year
ending December 31, 1873, arc very gratify
ing. The returns have just been collected
and published by the United States Statistical
Bureau. Compared with the previous year
the result is as follows :
Importations for IS7^
. _ 5779,144,579
do for 1873
Difference in favor of IS'i2
Exports in 1572
Do in 1873,
Difference in favor of 1873.
This indicates not only an increasing, but
at the same time a very healthy condition of
our foreign trade.
TUE INTER-OCEANIC CANAL,
Official reports have been received from the
United States Commissioner to whom was
committed the duty of inspecting the Nicar
agua route of the proposed ship canal to con
nect the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
They hail eompleted that portion of their
work and arrived at Panama on the 4th in=
staut. There they took passage on board the
United States steamship Saranac and will pro
ceed to ChiH-Chiri Bay to examine the other
route already surveyed by way of the Napipi
and Alrato rivers, and determine the relative
features of the too routes, wheu they will re
turn to Washington and make their final re
port. There is no doubt this will be one of
the first great public works to be undertaken,
and that too, with a view to its early comple
tion.
THE ARKANSAS EMBROGLIO,
The disgraceful state of affairs at Little
Rock created no small interest during the past
seek. The subject was before the Cabinet
mectin ou Friday. It was decided there that
the policy pursued by the President in refer
ence to the ati:tir was the true one, and the
whole matter was left to his management.
The deposed Governor has yielded to the ad
vice of friends and is providing transportation
to retura his volunteer forces to their homes.
Brooks retains control of the government,
and will not probably be molested in the dis
charge of its functions.
THE PROSPECTIVE MARRIAGE OP THE PRESIDENT'S
DAUGHTER.
The rumored engagement of Miss Nellie
Grant to Mr. Sartoris, an English gentleman,
is no longer a matter of doubt. Mr. Sartoris
is a Western farmer, and is the owner of a
fine property in Wisconsin, which he has per
sonally superintended for some years. By the
death of his oldest brother he has become
heir to the family estate in England.
Deafness Caused by Catarrh
Catarrh not unfrequently produces deafness.
31r.1,ri SPRINGS; of Nettle Lake,Postotlice,Wilthuns
County, 0., formerly of Durban's Corners, 0., has been
cured of deafness of fourteen years' standing, by using
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Ife was so deaf be could not
bear a person talk when seated by his side, and can now
hear the church bells ring to miles distant—so he writes.
A MARKED CASE OF DEAFNESS CURED.
IncunttsoNvitax, Niagam county, N. Y. Feb. 22,
About one year ago I caught a severe cold in the head,
which terminated in a severe form of Catarrh. Inning
the time ulcerations ocenr. - ed in the nasal passages, and
I became wholly deaf in ono ear, with partial deafness in
the other. The inflamation had involved all the, delicate
structures of the ears, and I was in immediate danger of
permanent deafness. The disc , mrge became profuse and
fetid. both into my throat and from my ears. In this con
dition I called on Dr. Pierce for aid, who prescribed his
Golden Medical Discovery and Catarrh Remedy, and nu=
der their use have I apidly recovered. My hearing is meg
tored, and my Catarrh is entirely well.
