BONDS AND BONDHOLDERS
It is knovrn to all the world :that
the United States is heavily in y debt,
and, that this :condition of affairs was
brought about in consequence of the efforts
needful for the suppression of the rebellion.
This indebtedness rests mainly in the form
of bonds given for moneys borrowed. The
5-30 s, now all cancelled except some
thirteen'rnillionsiif dollars, were made pay
able,-principal and interest, in coin. What
remains of them will be paid in currency,
sinless they shall be exchanged for 5-ns
before the Ist of August. The 'interest on
the -5;-20S is specifiCally payable in' gold;
IA what file principal shall be paid is not
Rated in the bonds.. ; " Hence the current
' controversy as to whether they shall be paid
in money or currency. •
' Members of Congress — differ -as to the - I
understanding on this point wen the bill
authorizing this issue of bonds was under
discussion. Of course, if suits could be
brought to recover payment of these bonds,
no court would listen to evidenCe as to the
intention of different Senators or .Represen
tatives in voting for the bill. The Whole
matter wouldbe determined by the construc
tion the tribunal should put on the words
used -in the bonds. Such adjudication
•
being impossible, the decision as to what
pavment shall be made inwill ultimately be
made by Congress, guided solely by the
ikas pf equity f prevailing among its
members. .1
All men whose' sympathies still cling to
the rebellion, .or to the doctrines in which it
originated,:are 'eager. to adopt the construc
tiort of these contracts which will give the
public creditors' the least real money, im
pose on themselves the lightest burdens, and
dishonor the =GOvernruent to the largest ex
tent. Men naturally disli i ke to pay for their ,
own defeat. They Will resort to the .moft
shameful equiv6cations and deceits rather
than dodt. This explains much, but not all,
the ppposition to the 5-20 s in coin
For onr part, we have au invincible re-
pug,nance to a currency not convertible into
real nmey . at the pleasure of the holder.. A
commercial' revulsion may create a neces
sity' for a temporary suspension of specie
payments, but nothing short of the direst
straits of a gigantic war can justify an irre
deemable currency for a long period.' Even
then it is the imperative. duty of the Gov.
ernment and people to get rid of it, and re
turn to gold and silver at the earliest .possii
ble day. How "hard money Democrats"'
can go about clamoring for a perpetual and
incteasing( deluge or "paper promises to
Pay" is one of the mysteries of politics we
confess our inability to unravel.
Aniong the remedies devised to extricate
the. nation from this bond dilemma is the
authorization of new loans, for longer peri
ods; at reduced rates of interests, and with
both principal and interest payable in coin
beyond all : dispute. A bill to this end
•was passed on the last day of the'ession,
and is waiting Presidential • action upon it.
Opinion seems to be dividdd as to-the dispo
sition he will make of it. We'cannot - help
thinking that if this bill shall become a law
it will - nbt produce the,effect intended by the
originators of it.
.. ,
The President is reported as taking ex
captions to some features of the Funding'
Bill ; and particularly to the omissioa of
a clause making income derivable from these
.bonds liable to taxation. -
It may be remarked that there are two
ways of practically reaching income from
bonds. - One, and the direct method, is by
making, such income anbject to taxation in
like manner as other income is. The other,
and indirect method, is to put the rate of
interest so much lower than is paid in
ordinary business transactions, as to be
in effect equivalent to taxation. This latter
method lias this advantage that it simplifies
the process, dispenses with accounts and
ac - conntints, and applies as well to for ( eign
as to domestic bond-holders. The former,
or direct method., is•more satisfactory to the
masses of the people, because they see •that
the bOnd-holders pay •precisely as other
folks, and lo the same degree. unless;
however, pro Vision is made to have the in-
come tax._deducted from the coupons upon
presentation to' the Treasury agents, the
fcreign holders necessarily escape entirely ;
which, perhaps they fought to ilo; for plau-
sible
_reasons, at least, can be presented
against the right of the government of one
country to tax' citizens of another
Congress, it is - fair to presume, thought
the rate of interest' was so low%s to stand
instead of a tax ; while the President, ac
cording. to rumor, prefers to attribute to
the two Houses the fault of letting the
hond-holders oil' without contributing to the
support of goveroment. •
Most of the 'present owners -of 5-20 s
bought them at premiums ranging frOnt five
to -ten per cent. They will .not be likely to
exchange them except upon compulsion,'
for other bonds of leis market valoe, and
drawing a • reduced amount of interest.
What they will do, if left to pursue their
own inclinations, will depend upon, a clos'e
calculation :cat loss• and gain. Confidence
:may he so shaken in the honor or ability of
the government that the. bond-holders will
submit to immense sacrifices, lust as men do
in trying to 'save their .hOusebold goods
from conflagration; but that is a 'matter with •
which we are net now dealing.
.Thehond,liolders failing to 'exchange se
curities promptly, could. the, Treasury De:
partinent, if authorized, tell enough of the
new bonus to take up the' old ones before
the expiNion of the Ave years option ?
Is there 'currency enoughiaflpat and in bank
rest do this without seriously ineoni..
moding - pri rate' business 11
This method failing,, it is not presumable
that public opirkin - Would now endure, or
Congressional wisdom . sanction, a fresh
issue of greenbacks sufficient to
. this end.
The lnflation inseparable froth that measure
would unsettle all business calculations, and
might Ving on a total, eollapsetof that im
-awns° fabric of credit . which covers' the
whole country. '
If in . neither of these. ways the Govern•
meat could get the requisite currency, topay,
off the 5.20 s within five yeara of their date
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : WEDNESDAY XtTLY, 29, 868
the holders would retain them until the ex
piration of Me full term of twenty yearS.
Long enough before that :time specie pay
ments will be resumed, in which eient the
bond-holders will get money instead of cur
/
rency in extinguishment of their demands.
But, who;—'air the bond-holders —the
"bloated bond-holders," and the "bond
-barons," whom it is fashinable • among the
Democrats,to decry? Under the main as
pect of th i e case, it dos not matter who
they arel , and it ikan insult to every right
'minded man's sense of justice to a,sk who
they tire. Bquity does not let her scales
turn this way or that, according to the
financial or social standing of contestants
before her. She dem l ands to know only the
right or wrong of the made; and makes her
balances vibrate only as justice inclines.
Whether a man is poor or ich is immaterial
before a just tribuntil. Rich_ .and
.poor
there stand on equal ground; the poor 'con
fident he will not suffer Wrong because of
his poverty;, the rich sure he will not be
defrauded because he is opulent; No one°
but an ingrained scoundrel allows the wen h
or poverty of a claimant to influence his e
termination of a cause, no matter whet r
he acts as judge, juror or voter.
ManY•Government bonds are held by Na
'Coital Banks and - by individual caPitabsts.
Many, too, are held by Savings Banks and
by Life and The Insurance Companies. •
Hundreds of ihelisands of dollars are so held I
in this city, arid in all other cities. These
bonds are held
. in bust fer poor men and
women who'•have deposited the scant.sav
ings of hard toil as a provision against sick- .
ness and old -age ; or its security that when
husbands and - fathers die the policies upon
their lives will be paid to the otherwise des
titute widowt and orphans; or, as the guar
anty that if poor men's houses burn.down •
they ;will recover insurances, which will
help putrother 'roofs over the heads of their
households.
Millions of bonds are held in trust *by ex
ecutors and administrators for widows and
orphans who would be without friend or
helper if this support should be swept away.
Clergymen, physicians, clerks, mechanics,
laborers, and other classes of small means,,
all over the country, have invested their
little_ trains in Oovernment bonds. To these.
individuals it is .a very .serious matter how
the question of paying these securities shall
be decided.
Irrespective of the question, Who are the
bond-holders ? this issue ought to be deter
mined without clamor, without passion, and
without prejudice, according to the demands
of impartial justice, and actuated by a nice
sense of honor.
JUDGE THURMAN, of Ohio,.was one of the
speakers at the ratification meeting of the
West Virginia rebel Democracy, at Grafton,
last week. Indulging in his. characteristic
brag, as to the result of the 4residential
election; be -predicted that the Republicans
w i onld then desire to surrender. The
Judge proceeded :

This is a very fair illustration of the K. K.
K. spirit which now fires the reassured
,rebel heart. They find in the ,New., York
, platform and nominations the license to
shoot and hang the friends of the Union
with the same impunity asin the first rebel
lion which the Democracy. visited' upon the
country. The same old rebel jell of mur
derous hate welcomes the new summons to
-rapine and murder, and the same old rebel
policy, of the extermination. of the friends
.of the Union, is to be inaugurated with the
success of the BLAIR ticket throughout the
South.

:party, ha' driVen gold up to 144, with a cor

the people holding this currency. The
dimunition in . the purchasing value of a
paper dollar will soon be seen in'the ad
vanced prices asked for all articles of prime
necessity)for the consumption of the people.
And the BLAIR party have the cheek to
charge this dep7:.ciation of our paper money,
which is solely due to their incendiary
threats, as the consequence of the salutary
precautions which their menaces hrive re
quired Congress to take for the preservation
•
of the public peace.
ON Tim 16th of August, the Republicans
of this city will select a candidate for
Mayor. They will not do, this through the
intervention of the ordinary delegate-Con
vention, but by a direct vote of the mem
bers'of the party. Under this plan no fault
can be found with those who are designated
as managers, if the nomination Made shall
prove to be 'either bad or unacceptable..
The blame 'will attach to those ;Republicans
who shalt,he so indiffertint to their, welfare
as not to take the,trouble of attending the

to make a wise choice. We earnestly press
this. ntatter upon the consideration of all

Im rs probable that South Carolina will
this year follow her invariable practice in

TEE ESSENTIAL RELATION OF ISO
ENCE TO LABOR! r .
In some observations. yesterday upon the
comparative decline of English manufac
tures, in the great industrial competitions
of the world, we made an incidental allu
sion to 'the most , influential cause of the
greater proSperity Of i l roductive Art upon
the European continent. Applied Science
affords the true explanation of French and
German superiority, and the results which
to-day humble the national pride of English
manufacturers are but the natural, legiti
mate Sequence of their reliance - upon the
potencies of mere capital t and labor, unaided
by the direction of an instructed and dis
criminating intelligence.
,- Knowledge is power, but only in a limi
i ted 9e‘ se. To clothe it with tke largest
, practical value, in the material development
of the productive resources of a people, it
must! be utilized, by the precision of its re
searche ,-by a clear comprehension of the
materia needs of humanity, and by the dis
.k
erimina ing application of such scientific de
-
doctions as may be established in the pro
.,. ,
~
gresa of invention mad practical analysis.
31e * re,,, knowledge, if not popularized, may
fill mit,ms and cabinets, swell encyclope
dias, al win thefrofound homage of the
learne i ut, unless it be faithfully dissemi
t
nated_ nd commingled with the great mass
i t)
of nal onal information, becoming a part of
the utilized, intellectual wealth of an indus
trious people, and constituting an active ele
ment fur the constant and universal service
of its material necessities, such knowledge
avails nothing in the p_romotion of national
prospeilty, or in the world-wide. rivalry of
productive art. Knowledge is only power
in these latter days of practical humanity,
in the proportion that it shall be creative,
productive and exhibiting tangible fruit.
The nineteenth century hag brought in the
era of works. Science was ever admira
ble, but it has come now to be valued, only
as it arms a people for resistless war, or ele
vates its own relativiii subserviency to the ma
terial necessities of tke peaceful world. As
the brain and the hand shall labor together
in the service of society; as the Operative
and the Savant shall march side by side
in the creation f of national wealth—and that
wealth can only be created by human 1 in
dustry more or less intelligently guided—
the real, permanent and decisive criterion
is presented for estimating the relative power
e.lntluence or nations.
In their clear perception of these truths- 7
so simple and obvious that even their state
ment seemi needless—and in their acceptance
for practical ends, is disclosed the true se
cret Of Continental success in the rivalry of
national industries. England has invented;
France and Belgium, Germany and Switzer- .
land have developed, improved and utilized.
English science eliminates principles; the
Continentalrivalry applies them directly to
the service 'of productive • art. The broad.
field of scientific knowledge is completely
I familiar, to Etiglish„philoaophera, but re
mains an unknown land to the millions of
I' British workmen. Abounding in capital,
and her entire island a hive swarming with
docile,. eager and 'inexpensive - labor, With
tnineral resources unniatchaditi'any
nental dqmain, and with a commerce which
-bears the English flag tirSt and farthest on
i all the waters of the glqbe, Great Britain
entered, Circe-fourtha of a century since,
upon a career of mannfticturink industry
i which was unchecked by competition,
and which rapidly advanced that empireto
the undisputed control
.of every Market:at
home and abroad. For a half century, she
held this pbsition without a' rival, but we
[wee that she has lost it to-day and that the 1
seat of intelligent industry has been 'trans;
ferred beyond the Channel. She has lost it, .l
because the continental rations have come I
to surpasS her in the application of scientific I
knoivledge to the multiform departments of
production. The English' citizen sas ever
industrious and faithful, but the French or '
German operatives stand far in advance of
him in their knowledge of scientific princi
ples, and in the fidelity and constancy with
which these are applied to the processes of
their daily employment. The English me
chanic accepts so much of science as may
be requisite to qualify him to 1111 the I
measure of - .the daily labor which
yields his daily Wages. Beyond
that, he has no ambition, nor haS
he yet been offered the opPortunities for ad- .
vancement. He has not let been tatight
'the inestimable value, of that connection
between the science of the cultivated brain
and 'the cunning of the practised hand,
which arq . now giving to the continental
artizan conspicinitiSly,the lead in the mand
lacturing, indiistry":[- - Ot nations. Go to a
French workshop,likC-that of Synxmosi,
at Crekizot, and of all the army of work
men edrployed in every department of the
manufacture of marine engines, there is not
one who cannot make •coniplete drawings
for,every part of the work. The iEnglish
Islands can present no such instance of
educated and scientific skill. If Ikrough
out France, ' Prussia, Belginm, 'Ger
many and Switierland, the ..visitor at all
the great centres of manufacture; whether
in the metals, in chemistry, in* , the textile:
fabrics br in mining, is astonished to dig—.
cover that a large per ceidage; of the com
tnon workmen whom he sees, have been •
thoroughly instructed by a two, three or
five years' course of study in the public
Aciehtific Schools,i . and that their daily labor
becomes' not only ,skillful but successful,
because it comprehends and can explain
results by 'principles', and is alwaya intelli
gently. guided, toward the largest and highest
product, by the applied science which the •
education .of the workman has made his
highest qualification for. productive labor, ;
and which bears its legitimate fruit in the
superior value of the product itself.
It la needless, in this connection, to re
capitulate the statistics of Scientific Popular
InstructiOn among tife Continental nations,
as comparcd with the operative classes , of,
England. ' It is enough to say that this in-•
stntlction has been systematically recognized.
as of national duty or policy on one(side of'
the Channel, and as generally neglected on
the other. The'natural..•Consequence is that
the superior repute. of 'English mantifac-
tures has given place .in the woild's mar- I,
kets to, thejtreater merit of the foreign pro
ductions, and the decline, not only compara
tiie, but in( some respects real, of BritA
industry, has awakened among her states
men and thinkers a feeling of profound
alarm. They see clearly, not only the dan
ger, bit its causeand its cure, and the most
direct, speediest and Most effective method
of engrafting Science upOn Labor, and
thereby eleiatin,g the English , eperative
classes into the higher plane of their COn
tinental rivals, is a question which engages,
at this moment, the closest attention of
leading English minds. •
The facts to which we have alluded, and
the inferences which they warrant; touch
ing the vital importance of Applied Science
to the successful competitions of Labor,
have a powerful bearing.upon thesolid, per
manent interests and dlte future welfare 'of
Americans as a' manufacturing pcople. In
that relation, we Wall recur to this topic
again
THE Permsylvania MilitarY Academy, at
Chester, under the accomplished superin
tendence of Col. THEODORE HYATT, with a
large and varied staff of instruction, has,
we are gratified to learn, become a fixed
and prosperous institution of the State. Its
marked success during , thei past year afferds
a flattering augury for the' future, and most
deservedly. A military, scientific and
classical education is here given to our own
youth, and within ou t r own borders, at a
moderate cost, and we therefore commend
this Academy to the kindly regards of all
. our readers within the Commo,nwealth.

and history teaches us that' these, especially
at an age of much dishonesty and corruption,
are to be taken ,Tery careinlly, and their
candidates closely, scrutinized (?) after their
former hiStory.
• To the objection
,ot inconsistency which
the Democrats throw up against us, w.e beg
- leave to say: •
,If the Demoorats wish.a man always to.
stick to the party he hitherto belonged to,
'i
they might have the coroisteney to ) sweep
-first before
_their own door, anil kick out,
their repeatedly fence lumping candidate for
Vice President, F.Blair, and many other
leading Democrats, refugees front the Re
'publican party. The Democrats will hold .
us, therefore,.excused of inconsistency.
. We are considered faithless, 'a traitor to
party and principles. In this regard we ask
the Democracy: - !-
.„I.st. Whether they iieffnit us the exercise
of an independent judgment, or whether
-theywant party slavt , ii?:
f2d. Whether a Man is not bound to
leave a company which he sees is, getting
Corrupt or leading into bad ways, and we
'ask
3d. Whether the Democratic party proved '
itself at the New York Convention t onv,er
tell or eradicated from the: secesh
or whether this element Was not thereAn
full three and glory. as Gov. Wise announc
ed at Richmond:. "The . Fotirth of July in
New York is the day which would gain the
friends that the rebellion could not gain ?" :
and we • •
4th. Whether it is not the right kind of
traitorship, to leave the flag hpiated by For- •
mat, the guerrilla General, by •Vallandig-
htuu and Mr. Wash 3FLean, and to join the •
army of Grant, who i la proclaimed by histo
ry the Sayiour of the American lii public.? 1
- Whether it.is treacherous or meanto eon- i
fide in that Patriotie,upright, straighttbrward '
and horiest•minded General who:Se hands to
kiss every child thought itself happy, at the
close of the war—or to trust the t uture of I
the country tO those In connection or co- 1
operation with our enemies?" To trust to
the candidates - that desire --• "peace," or to
the one
: who thirsts for ",war?"
To the commonly usetl r Deinneratic Charge
of bribery wit simply request the Deinoc
racy, not to judge us by themselves, he-
cause their delegates got their pockets filled
at New York and sold themselves; (See
La 'Crosse-Democrat, anti Cincinnati En- I
gairer of tith-and 6th of July.)
We belieiT• it requires no bribery for a
war Demberat as we always Cousidered
ourselves, to repudiate that conveuthin.
Was General Sherman suddenly. bribed be
cause he, a Democrat, declared for Grapt .
against thq New York ticket, or-is Chase
bribed because lie like-we declares, there was
no hope tbr the victory .of the Democrat
ticket. It is no miracle nor does require
lnibery, if an honest thinking: iDrinoorot
prefers Gran't with Union Denloti atic prin t •
ciPles to a man who doesnotenjOy•the con,
fidence ot the land. These are our political
principles which we think areteitta enough,'
Mr. Irvine: of course not sefiied ha the
wooi;died -Democrats used . toi ei*: • "My
father orpranillather was a Democrat. I am' .
a Democrat, have: born one and with the
hope of the Lord shall be one all my tile
time." Our principle is: Leave the -party
It you think -it is wrong and go:to tite party
which aims cut right; never pledge yourself
to atty party, because it may tctt.••
Stich aro the. principles of a tree an and
ciple M.
not of a blind partizan or of one who iron.
der obligation or , pledged to a partY.
The interest we earned from the free ex
pression of our upright view on the New-
York ticket is: Persecution from 'rustics,
prospects of a Seymour mob and the losrof
snbscribers, of those who not relying upon
their own mind were afraid of learnin g
different views, and Of being lifted above
their."Westbotc or Volkstriend." -
Here it is proper to remark that Repub
cans are more patriotic and penetrated'bi
their principles so as to give -a generous slip.;
port to the newspapers, these - great instru..
ments for the cultivation olthe.intelligenee"
of the people, than the Democrats.
We Contess ourselves the Gertnavia never.

crate : think that only such papers have ef-:
feet which make it their profession to sitoef,
with the poisonous arrows of misrepreseit-:'
tations, slanders and personal attacks. We
