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."

An extensive lock-out has occurred
