i It Y mum IIknby A. Parsons, Jit. . Editor THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1873, EDITORIAL NOTES. The public debt was decienscd S6, 680,180 12, during the month of Feb ruary The Tx and Tnriff bill has been parsed by the United States Senato, just as it came from the House. The bill only awaits the President's signature lo become a law. There Is now no necessity for au extra session of Congress, as the udoplion jf the above bill relieves the administra tion frcm all anxiety and embavrassmont. The Senate paasscd bills for the ad mission of Colorado and New Mexico as States this week, hut the Ilouso refused to suspeud tho rules and pass the bills, though that motiou received a large ma jority vote. Afterwards the House took up and pa?sod tho bill for the admission of Colorado. A Blairsville correspondent of the Pittsburgh Commercial anuouuees that General Harry White will bo a candi date for Slate Treasurer in the ensuing Republican State Convention. The General has had asperations to fill a place on ths llepubiican State ticket for pome years, and we have uo doubt lie would make a strong candidate be fore tho people of the Commonwealth. Tiiose who have devoted most time to bullion statistics estimate that the "stcck of coin and bullion in the United States on the first of January, 1875 (not counting the supply in Calforaia in 18(30,) must have been about $250,000,000, or say fifty mil. lios more than in 1800, with the prospect of receiving about seventy-six millions from the mines this year." These calcu lations, of course, include silver, which for the past two years, has formed liltlo less tlun oe-half of tho onaual product of the mines. Washington, March 8. The Seretary;of the Treasuiy will issue a coll this week for thirty million dollars of bonds on accouut of the sinking fund, under tho ct of March 3d, last. The interest on tho culled bonds is to cease at the end of ninety days, tut it is understood that tho boads, with accrued interest, will bo piid on presenta tion any time after the date of the call. The demise of Congressman James Buf fington, of tho First District of Massachus. cits, whieh occurred yesterday morning at Full River, by hemorrngo of tho bowels, within an hour af;er his arrival home, makes the sixth death in the Massachusetts Congressional delegation in two yenrs. One cf the best arguments in favor of compulsory education, is that of the statement of the ehaplaiu of the New Hampshire State prison, who iu a re pot t, covriug the experience of more than twenty years, fays that of 3900 convicts who have been under his charge, one out of sis could not read nud that iu the whole number there whs not a single lawyer, physician, clergy man, editor, printer or school taaeher. The conclusion is that education is a safe-guard against crime, and that iu the same proportion that learning is ex tended crime will diminbb The Legislature ha3 fixed the 18th of this month for adjournment, and un less the Democratic members of the Hou?e succeed in extending the session, much important legislation will remain unacted upon, tip to Saturday cf last week the House had passsd fiually upen nix bills, while the number in the Sen- ute was seventy-five, leaving on the cal endar of the House 237 bilk This tardiness is looked upon as a studied ef fort to profit by their present temporary power, aud by dilatory action necessitate u long session next wiutcr, when each senator and member will bo entitled to SI 9 per day. Tho influx of Menoniie immigrants from Russia to this oountry is on tho increase. Nearly one thousand families are soon to arrive in Canada to settle in Manitoba There aro already about 5,000 of these people, or 1.200 families in the United Etates. Of these 230 families have settled in Manitoba, 200 in Dakota territory, 15 in Minnesota, 60 in Nebraska, 815 in Kansas, and 50 in other states. The re maining 300 families have arrived recently, and their destination is unknown. The Eansai Menonites have bought 150,000 acres of land, upon which they will settle in the spring. A meeting of delegates from those r.ew here is to be held at Elk hart, Indiana, next month, to make ar rangements for the immigration of the present year. They are a superior class of immigrants, and will beeomo thriving and industrous citizens. The act defining the offense of kid nipping in this State was signed by the Governor last week. It imposes a fine of 810,000 and imprisonment for a period not exceeding twenty-five years on all persons found guilty of kidnap ping children. Heavy penalties are also provided in cases where persons harbor or conceal stolen children. A provision in the act says; "This act shall not apply to the detaining or con cealing of any child taken or carried away before the passage of this act, when the persons so harboring or co n cealing shall within thirty days after the passage of this ast surrender up Euch child to the custody of the nearest magistrate or Justice of the l'caee, or to the Sheriff of any county within the Commonwealth"" This proviso has reference to the Ross case. , Sroenbacts ts. Coin. The following, appearing In tho Pitts burgh Commercial, purporting to he the substance of an hour's conversation with one of the citio's oldest business men, will be found to contain many pertinent faut.Vworthy a careful perusal, "The most important and prominent problem at present, is the currency question. lis discussion is not confined to the halls of Congress, nor to secret session in tho Cabinet. The daily pa pers teem with articles on the subject, but none of them have yet given a elear and satisfactory solution of the riddle. Indeed, nine-tenths of the nrticleii on the subject aro nbout ns "clear as mud," and most of (ha remedies proposed for the financial difficulty would only ag gravate tho situation. What is money, and of what use is it? It is neither food, shelter or cloth ing; it, is not gold, or silver, or copper or nicklc, or paper, although nil of these con be used us money. Different arti cles have been used us money in differ ent countries, for instance, the Lacede mouians used iron; tho Africans ou the coast use shells, aud those in the inter ior use salt; the Central Americans used cacao beans; the old l'ittsburghers used coon skins; nil these answered their purpose, but had their inconveniences. Our deiiuition of money would bo 'A plain and easy method of keeping ac counts between individuals and the pub lic' by moans of tokens which are readily transferable. Thcso should be used by the government in denominate and fixed quantities in proportion to the population, and the quantity should be sufficient to meet the-requirements of commerce, and should be sufficient at 1 east to pay cue month's labor of each individual say twenty-five dollars per head to the population, or one thousand millions to tho whole country. But whatever sum may be fixed upon, it should be rigidly adhered to, and kept in circulation. It becomes a measure of ralues,and au clastic measure of value is as wrong iu principal as an elastic bushel for measuring grain. By using greenbacks this uniform quantity can be kept iu circulation: but if gold is used os a medium, the country will continue to suffer from fluctuations aud panics, frcm hoarding end exporta tion of the currency. We have been taught from infancy, and have thus come to believe that gold and silver arc precious metals. The be lief in this humbug has been a dead weight on our country a heavy drag on our prosperity and will continue to he until the belief is exploded. All wealth is tho product of labor moucy is not wealth; it is only a certifi cate that the bearer has parted with, or furnished to the community a certain amount of labor or its products; these certificates are readily transferable, and thus enable men to transfer property and keep accounts easily and simply; a bag gage check is uot baggage, but is proof that it belongs to the holder. A man buys a farm for ten thousand dollars, nnd pays five thousand dollars down, giving a mortgage for tho remain ing halt, and it ibe Government then reduce the volume of currency one-half, it w.Tuld be virtually robbing the farmer (if all he had paid, ns it would require twice as much labor or produce to cover the remaining five thousand dollars after the reduction as it would at the time of the purchase. Contracting the currency adds to the value ot the money on habd: It makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Oh, says the bard money man, we don't want au irredeemable currency! Who redeems the greenbacks? Why, tho same chap that redeems tho gold. The greenback has tho faith ot tho Government, and all the property and all the labor of the country is pledged for its redemption. Now, what security have you that the gold will bo redeemed? Only the belief that has been installed in the minds of the people that gold is precious; which belief is daily lessening aud will soon be among the things that were a'l its value is imaginary aud cx treusic; it is now only oue-touth as valu able as it was, and one hundred years hence it will not buy one-teuth its present value. Gold and silver have a conventional value and an intrinsic one; their conven tional value is very large, and their in trinsic value very small. Gold was the first metal discovered. It was known for ages befure any other, yet it had never been used except as an ornaaient, or iu drinking cups or spoons. For the last twelve years it has hardly bceu seen, aud yet it has not been missed. Its intrinsic value is not a tenth part of that of steel. It is unfit for an earthly use except as an ornament. It takes a fine polish aud keeps it, and this quality is its ouly valuable one. It does not ox ydize eusiiy, and it is fortunate it dees not as its oxide is ten times more pois onous than arsenic fully as much 60 as corrosive sublimate. The salts of silver arc fully as poisonous as arsenic, but are not to bo compared with those of gold. In issuing greenbacks our govern ment made somo grand mistakes. One was in discrimiuaiing against our own currency in favor of gold. Had the government refused to take gold for duties and demanded greenbacks, gold would now bo at discount, instead of 15 per cent premium. Another mis take was iu permitting the issue of na tional bank notes. It does not require a microscope to see the foly of giving the national banks six per cent, for loaning tho Government credit. All the bonds of the Government should have bceu made payable in greenbacks and not in gold." Daniel Fricl was tried Feburary 24, and convicted, and sentenced, at Boston, to the State l'rison for life, for the mur der ol Peter Smith, colored. An extensive lock-out has occurred at thi Dcdbam, Massachusetts, Woollen Mills, the operatives refusing to work 11 hours per day. District Attorney Phelps, of Ne York, says the State Department hai declined to demand the surrender of the escaped murderer Sharkey, now in Havana, as no extradttiou treaty exists with Spain. PITTSBUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN JOURNAL! A LIVE NEWSPAPER, IN ALL ITS DEPARTMENTS. In entering upon the New Year nnd within a few months of tho second anni versary of the first appearance of dm paper tho publishers of Iho PITTMtUIUilf EVENING TELEGRAPH renew their ex. pressions of thanks to an intelligent aud appreciative public for it s LIBERAL AND EVER INCREASING PATRONAGE during the year juft closed. Coming inlo (xistance at a time when every kind of business was to a certain extent, depressed, and when retrenchment, in every direction was the rule, the TELEGRAPH has fought its way, and become, not only an cstub' lished fact, but a PRIME NECESSITY IN ETERY WELL. INFORMED CIRCLE, whether it be of the counting-room, the professional office, tho woskfhop, or the family. Its circulation, equal to the best from the start, has grown in extent and im portance doily, until now it acknowledges tut two equals the Dispatch and Leader so far as tiie number issued daily is con corned, and no equal ns to the character of its readers. These facts aro so well known and appreciated by the business commu nity, or the shrewdest members thereof, that our columns have been well.filled by the favors of TIIE LEST CLASS OF ADVERTISERS. and we are glad to know that their faith in the TELEGRAPH ns an advertisidg me dium has been lirmly established. TIIE PITTSBURGH EVENING TELEGRAPH,, ha, we think, during the past year main tained its claim to (he good will and sup prot of the people, irrespective of party, inasmuch us its opposition to bad nomina tions within the party whose principles it favors wns largely instrumental iu procur ing their defeat. Whilo il shall bo our aim io promote the established principles of tho Republican party, we shall in tho fu ture, us in the past, oppose the election to otlice of men not fully qualified, or who s-hall by trickery or any unfair means manage to secure a place ou the ticket. Honesty and capacity ouly will receive our support. TIIE TELEGRAPH will continue to publish ALL THE NEWS OF THE DAY at the curliest moment, aud in such a shape as to be acceptable to tho most critical reader. The TELEGRAPH will continue to re licet the seuiiuteKts of the people on all public questions touching their welfare. Hie TELEGRAPH will uphold zealously the hands of all men honest and earnest iu reform, und it will, as in the past, give all sides a hearing on the topics of the time. The TELEGRAPH will labor with re. newed zeal for tho prosperity of the city aud State and the advancement of the ma terial interests of our citizens. Its LOCAL DEPARTMENT will coniinue to be carefully attended to, and its reports of l.ical events will be always fresh and reliable.. Its SPECIAL TELEGRAMS AND CORRES PONDENCE from the Capitals of the Nation and Slate and from all important news centers will continue to be of the most attractive aud trustworthy character. Us MARKET AND FINANCIAL REPORTS will receive the same careful attention that has been remarked in the past, aud in this respect die TELEGRAPH will continue to be without a competitor. Its EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will contain an honest expression of views on all important live topics, political and otherwise. Its NEWS AND LITERARY DEPARTMENTS, which have always enjoyed an cxallcd rep utation, will continue to be of the same unexceptionable character. In fine, the EVENING TELEGRAPH IN ALL ITS DEPARTMENTS, will be during the yeap 1875, superior to the past, excellent as it has been by gen eral admission. No expense will be spared lo keep (he paper abreast with the times, and its managers will exert every effort that experience may suggest to make if possible, more attractive lo the general reader, SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
