country having contrived to fix leijal-tender United States notes at a discount of from 25 to 40 per cent., then used them at their face with which to buy into the pockets of the people, nd every bond now paid or hereafter to be paid is simply a redemption by the people, dollar for dollar, in coin, of the depreciated paper originally invented In bonds. A. system of finance that discredited Its own money at the bkldlnzof the -bullion brokrrs nndnsso.ciated banker," in order that the capitalists t the country might so Invest that discredited money as to compel the laboring classes toredsem it at par in Kold and silver, was indeed, in it was so forcibly described, " cunningly devised scheme, and fraught with great Injury and great lass to ell classes of people throughout this Union, except one." These, however, are not the only historical circumstances which cause the people to listen with impatience to the complaints urged ag:ilnst the evils of a depreciated currency. Tney do not overlook the lact that these complaints were never made except in the interest of capital. They ere never heard In behalf of the laboring masses to whom this currency has at all times been a legal tender; nor were they ever heard in behalt of that class ofAinencan citizens whose services and whose claim are paramount to all others. When the muster of millions took place for the preservation of the Union; when the young, the strong, the brave and Ihe hopeful caiae from their homes from one ocean to the other and formed In legions under the Maz, not a whisper was ever heard to emanate Irom the mouef centers, from t lift cold, hard lips of capitalists, that a depreciated and dishonored currency was not good enough to pay them for their blood and their lives. This money then paid the most sacred obligations ever contracted by a government in ii the expanded realms of history. It paid the soldier nrtd the sailor for all the perils and

horrors of war. It paid their widows and or-4 phans lor ail trie sorrows I nereavemeni. Even, tieveiore, if the authors of the original depreciation were compelled, as the soldiers of the I'nion and the tax-pay in laborers of the country J were, to reap some of the fruits of their own cunningly devised cheme. It would still be less than an act of even-handed Justice toward i hem. But no such result will follow the repeal of the resumption act, especially If lis repeal is accompanied by the Sr. .per and necessary legislation for which ills are now pending in this body. T tie te peal of the resumption act, and a law compelling the secretary of .the treasury to receive without delay L nited states notes for duties on imports, will at once equalize all our currencies and bring immediate reuet to an useful classes The existence of the act of January 14, 1S75, on the statute books is a standing warning not only to the gov ernment to contract its circulation, but also to every bank in the United States to do the same. In order to be ready for the demand that will be made upon them for specie in redemption of their notes on and after the 1st of January, IWX It Is a threat, that whoever has an ooligation out to pay monev on tnat day, whether it is the government responsible iof its legal tender notes or the banks responsible for bank note circulation, or the citizen liable on his promissory note, shall be subject to a call for payment In in coin. It requires but a moment's reflection to perceive the inevitable consequences of such a law. From day today, working under its provisions, the government is making preparation to meet' its requirements by diminishing as far ai possible the currency it will have to redeem. At this very hour tnis work is going on. An announcement appears in the public press that legal tender notes to the amount of SlJtfT -MU have just been destroyed by order of the secretary of the treasury, that being so per cent, of the additional bank note circulation Issued during the month of April. The banks have leen and continue to be systematlcnllv hoarding their circulation, in order that they may be as well prepared M possible to meet t lie runs for Rpecie redemption that will be made upon them. Private parties who have money tolend in the ordinary way withhold it. except upon such securities and under such circumstances as render them doubly safe, fearing, a they reasonably may, that but few debtors will beable to meet their obligations less than a year hence in coin. The result is that contraction has prevailed in every quarter, and sent forth its deadly Influences in every direction. While there is perhaps something over six hundred millions of a paper currency in existence at this time, there are scarcely three hundred millions this hour In the hands of the people aiding the business ;nd labor of the country. Nor will this condition o' a flair cease when we haveanominal resumption of specie payments, whether that be now or at the opening of the coming year. To say that we have resumed secie payments because paper money ana gold and silver money are quoted as equal in value, is an easy solution to superficial minds. To maintain resumption when specie payments become widely and generally demanded, and of daily occurreuce iu every branch of business, and in discharge of all obligations, old as well as new, is quite another tiling. Tne secretary of the treasury In his recent Interview with the bouse committee on banking and currency admitted that to maintain specie payments it would be necessary to maiutaiu contraction. He admitted it substance that the hoarding system by which the government and b-tnks have already taken the life oat of the active business of the country will have to be contloued. Tnisisthe absolute and actual project held np to the American people as lona as the present law lor the resumption of specie payments stands unrelated. It makes certain a dark, tortious and unhappy future, linking itself to the present and the past, which hnve already far too heavily taxed the endurance of the people. Mir, In addition, however, to the great sum of evils whlen the financial policy of the gov- ' ernment has fastened on the American people, and which are seen and known of all In their daily contact with them, there is another which has crown up more silently and unnoticed, but which lias already reached the most dangerous proportions. The insufficiency of money in circulation among the people with which to transact mislness and emp oy lator lias led the farming Clashes throughout the country, and especially In the west, to a '.opt the most perilous and desperate exDedlents to relieve themselves. They have been driven to mortgage their homes to obtain money at usurious rates of Interest in order, to meet their debts and theordinary obligations of business. It has, been estimated that the loaning associations of the east hold mortgages on wtern farms to the amount of over t hij,i.o),(KW. On this enormous sum of borrowed money tlio Interest account will averatre 8MH,V.'M er annum. Such tribute was hardly ever before in the history of the world paid by one class ol citizens to another class in the same government. It could not tttte p ace anywhere on the globe except in a land cursed by the most flagrant and wicked class legislation. It could not have fallen like a deadly blight on the agriculture and producing interests of this country but for the fact that all the great powers of .the government have for years pant been exerted to foster the gains and swell the profits of idle wealth at the expense of labor, instead of furnishing to the people a circulating medium equal to their business wants, a policy has prevailed whicli has driven them to the tenier mercies of the money cnanger, and to lay the title de?d to their homes on -he counters of the broker and the usurer in pawn for a currency that could be obtained in no other way. And now, with contraction and hoarding still to continue on the part of the government and the b.vnk, these titles are to be redeemed after the 1st day ot January next In coin or be lorfelted. In this fact is to be found the meaning of tho threats now often made by the organs of the money power that the ownership of the soli will change, and a system of great landlords and a numerous tena'ntry le estab lishes m our miusi alter tne European models, it means that thousands and hundreds of thousands of the present owners of their farms shall either be dispossessed under decrees of foreclosures, or remain as tenants and pay rent to non-resident landlords. It means that a landed aristocracy shall be built np in connection with the moneyed aristocracy which already exists, and that the entire spirit cf his government shall be subverted. It means that those who have always thought the British system of government a better one than our own have snccessfnllv laid the foundations and already taken gigantic steps toward the accomplishment of their t'eis. A permanent national debt is their opportunity, and they have embraced It with e;iu-r y.eal to advance their purpose. In their eyes It 1s a national b'esslug, and we never hear irom their lips a desire for its liquidation. It is their source or power and ot Income. In almost two hundred years ago, the national debt of Ureat Kntain commenced from small beginnings to run its terrible career 01 oppression, piilmre ami pnaperiHm. It tins swollen to the awlal dimensions of nearly 4,M),ou),ija No one contemplates its payment. In the shape of consols, funds and bonds it presents a r 'fuge in which capital, retired Irom business escapes taxation, and at the same time silently bat unceasingly sucks the life blood of the toiling masses. Home of the results which have followed, in connection "With the ownership of the soil, are worthy the consideration of the American peop at this time. The population of England is estimated at a fraction over 1S,WM),JU0. She contains 29,179,(iZf acres of land that are owned by her -citizens. In the last publication of the financial reform association of England the amazing fact nppears that PVt2,'i; acres of these lauds, being largely more than one-halt the -atlre landed property of the country, are owned by ihe insignificant number ot 4,M individuals. The rental incomes arising from t hese vast possessions amount to f I72.il , 15 per annum, thnsshowin? an average ownertjklp ou the part of less than 5,000 persons of 1

over 3.50,000 acrvs and an average income to each of them of about fUi.OOO. The population of Wales is placed at 1,217.135 souls. The lands held by private ownership amount to 3,s.,!h acres; and of these iril acres are owned by SJ2 individuals, with an annual rental income, arising from the labor of a peasantry In a state of semi-starvation, amounting to f 12.227 ,HJO. (Scotland has a population of 3.339,5f7 inhabitants. Her lands are estimated at M,li,ttl acres. How Incredible it apearto the American mind that 1,76s individuals own 17,lys. of these acres, nearly all of the land of the entire country: nnd yet such is the fct. The lords and barons of these broad domains draw from the porridge-fed tenantry who cultivate them the sum of S W,ltS,9!W per annum. The population of Ireland is computed to be 5,luU,4!j. Her lands measure Zt),l5JuH acres, and 13,rj04,7t2 acres are owned by 3.722 Individuals, who each year collect a rental Income of J !7.7ti,(si) from the toiling men and women who inhabit that oppressed and impoverished island. The murder of a landlord a lew days ago in Ireland attracted the attention of the t lvili zed world. 1 have had the curiosity to examine the exteDt of his possessions, and consequently the extent of his power to op press the landless poor. The Karl of Leitrim at the time of his death owned In conn y Donegal, 56,181 acres; in county Leitrim, 21,17a acres; in county Gal way, l$Xl acres; and in county Kildare, 53 acres; making a landed estate of !)i,Hl! acres. A general nummary of the land-holders of the United Kingdom of Kngland, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, therefore shows that, while the whole extent of lands reached 72.1 l!,(il acres, and the entire population Is 2S,227.Uii, yet the meager namber of loss individuals own 51 ,!S5,1 is acres, more than two-thirds of the lands of the entire blnvilftTii.

Sir, these statistical facts are overwhelming 1 in their significance. I hey reveal every ieatureot human servitude nnd light up all the ghastly lineaments of degradation, famine and woe. They explain the exodus of the last S years from Great llritain, during which time seven millions of her subjects have exiled themselves from her shores. I have cited them, however, at this tlm not for the purpose of dwelling on them, but simply to show to American land owners who have been lorced to mortgage their lands to the money power a condensed and comprehensive view of the end of that career on which they have entered. I desire them to see tiiat the policy of ttielr government in withholding an adequate supply or money in circulation has i forced them Into th clutches of a power which to-day holds mortgages on more acres of Ame-lcan farms than the entire lands within tne boundaries of Englanl. And I I dc-ire in their behalf to appeal to the I American congress to promptly undo, as lar j as possible, the ruin that has been inI Dieted, and to Inaugurate a financial reforma tion which will secure to the toiling farmer his imperiled home and to the industrious mechauic living wages. It is customary, however, at this time for the supioflers of the present financial policy of the government to charge the misfortunes or the people on the people themselves. The extravagance of the people, their reckless ex rendltures, and trelr prodigal mode of living are now favorite themes on the tongues of those who recline in. the soft lap of wealth and fare sumptuously every day. The hard handed, sun burnt millions who rise to their dally tasks while the morning star Is yet in the sky, and toil for a subsistence nntll the evening star appears, are constantly lectured on the virtues of economy by the dwellers in palace, by the Inmates of gilded mansions, by the masters of liveried attendants, by the lords of millions, by all such as derive their incomes and their luxuries from the labor and privations of others. These modern teachers of self denial on the part of the laborer have given the meaning of this world Instead of the spiritual meaning its sublime authorintended to the parable of the ten talents: "For unto every one that hath shall be Riven, and lie shall have abundance; but from nun that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." The poor are exhorted to give up luxuries which they have not. In order that the rich may add to their already great abundance. Oo to the homes of those wlio eat their bread In the sweat of their faces and ascertain if you can the extravagances in which they tudulge. IX) they maintain costiy equipages, splendid carriages, and richly caparisoned horses? Are their humble dwellings adorned with valuao!e paintings or fitted up with expensive furniture? Do you see pier-glasses on their walls and feel velvet carpets beneath your feet on their floors? Take a seat with them at their frugal, but hospitable tables. Do you find extravagance there? Where is the sol 'd silverware, the long succession of delicate dishes, the various brands of high priced wines? None of these things are found to tempt the Epicurean taste of those who, while preaching economy to the Industrial classes, tit down each day to banquets such as Dives presided over when Lizarus lay at his gates begging bread. Have the tanners aud mechanics of the country brought calamity on themselves by extravagance in dress? Where one indulges iu broadcloth a hundred are glad to be comtortable aDd appear decent in homespun. Do their wives and daughters wnir velvets and expensive silks? Must they too economize and put on plainer att're in order that the votaries of fashion and wealth may increase their demands? sir, the laboring men and women of this country have not been extravagant in their lives, nor do their present embarrassments and sufferings arise from that cause. It Is enough that they should lie weary with care and toll and filled with anxiety for the still darkening future. They should at least be spared reproachful calumny. They constitute the only economizing, self-denying class of citizens in all this broad land, with what force and justice could thev turn upon their accusers ami fasten on them the crimes of profligacy aud shameless extravagance. The federal government itself has been administered for many years past on a scale of the mof-t stupendous expenditures. It has rioi'd with the public mooeys and set an evil example. States, counties, cities, and corporations have too generally defied all the principles of economy in their management. Hut of all who commit extravagance and practice Belt-Indulgence the most conspicuous is that class which holds the bonds of th- government nnd the mortgages o' the people, and loudly urges its oppressed debtors to the most rigid economy for its own benefit. To those who comp3se this favored class the pleasures and luxuries of every land and clime are accessible. To them nothing can be denied which money will command. As they travel over oceans and continents in quest of new enjoyments, they are assailed by no noxious fears in regard to their pecuniary resources. They know that the plowman in the furrow, the mechanic in his shop, the American laborer of every kind, and wherever he may be, pays dally tribute and makes their Income secure. Far be it from me to incite the people, even If in my power, to disregard their financial obllgtalons. No such purpose inspires my conduct, but I shall at all times vindicate them against the asperations of those who first oppress and then denounce them. And I shall a!so always maintain that the entire financial policy of the government should be revised, changed, and reformed in their interests and for their relief. Are there those upon tills floor who regard the financial question a temporary one? To my mind it is not so. Its different phases may be met and for the time being disposed or, but in my judgment It will remain the paramount question in onr public a Hairs long atter every eve that now sparkles In this chamber shall be closed in eternal sleep. Debt is a merciless master, and gives its victims little time and less inclination to consider anything except its ceaseless demands. The American people at this time, aside from their private debts to each other, are Indebted t-j the federal and state governments, tocounue, cmes anu corporations, in the almost Incalculable sum of more than f ,UCO,Wi0,Ol0. The bondage of such a debt can not be a short one. Generations will come and go before emancipation day for the American tax payer arrive. One form of Mavery has been swept from American soli. Another form has tollowed it, not to last so long. Jet us hope, but equally remorseless and unsparing in Its exactions upon labor. It is the slavery of debt. It is upheld by the sanctions of law, but the greatest question of American statesmanship for the next fifty years or more will be its abolition without doing violence to our national houor. Year after year in one form or another that leading idea will press Itself on us for solution. Legislative compromises will be made and declared final, but as long as debt continues to make its insatiate demauds on tne fruits of industry there will be noflnality. N'orarethe people tone silenced on this vital Issue of their own Interests by the meaningless, vapid aud Insolent cry of communism hurled at them by the agents of the money power. Those who are doing most to engender and foster the spirit of communism in this country are the adherents of tne fx treme measures of financial contraction and of a forced return to sMcie payments, regardless of shattered homes, despairing men, walling women and outcast children. Revolutions are not created by those who plead for Justice, but rather by such as work injustice and rivet the bolts of oppression. The cry of the sheriff'" sale and the flag of the auctioneer selling homes and their contents for debt are far more certain and powerful precursors to a dangerous public opinion than the most Inflammatory discussions. I At liberality. Justice, and forbearance toward a people in distress prevail, and the future will bo calm and prosperous. Let the teachings and the warning wordof Andrew Jackson be heeded and all will be well. Forty-five yeanago he looked upon the United Htates bank with its capital of thirty-live millions as full of danger to tlio rights o the people. How ia

significant was the power of organized capital nt that time in comparison wltn its tremendous functions to day .' Vet on the loth day of July, ISM, in his immortal veto message these were the faithful words of the hero of ew Orleans and the expounder of a true democracy: "It is to be regretted that tlw rich and powerful too often bend the acts of the government to their selflsli purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every Just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wtr.lth. can not be pro duced by human iustitutions. In the fall enjoyment of the girts of heaven and the fruits of superior industry, ecnotny and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law. Hut whn the laws nnderiake to add to their natural and Just advantages artificial distinctions; to grant titles, grataities and exclusive privileges; to make the rich richer and the stent more powerful, the humble members of society, tho larmers, mechanics and laborer.), who have ntlther the time nor the meaus of securing Use lavors to themselves, havea right to complain of the injustice of their government. There are necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would tontine itself to equal protection and, as heaven does it rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing, o Kxperience should teach us wisdom. Most of the difficulties our government now encounters, and most of the dangers which impend over oar Union, have sprung from an aixindonment ol the legitimate onjects of government by our national legislation and the adoption of such principles as are embodied in this act. Many of our rich men have not bem content with equal protection and equal bench's, but have besought us to make them richer by act of congress, lly attempting to gratify their desires we have, in the results of our legislation, arrayed section against section, interest against Interest, aud man against mail, in il fearful commotion which threatens to shake the foundations of our Union. Ills time to pause in our caieer, to review our principles, and. If possible, revive that devoted patriotism and spirit of compromise which distinguished the sages of the revolution and the fathers our Union. If we can not at once, in justice to interests vested under improvident legislation, mako our government what it ought to be, we can, at least, t.ke a stand against all new grants of monopolies and exclusive privileges; agalast any prostitution of our government to the advancement of the lew at tne expense of the many, and in favor of compromise and gradual reform in our code of laws and system of political economy. These principles were enunciated nearly half a century ago. They were called lorth by the first attempts of consolidated wealth to control the public affairs of this country. With them their great author confronted the incipient steps of the money power to seize upon the 1 gislation of this government. One national hinkwlth a moneyed influence of nerhans

Slu0.UO0,0u0 then menaced the rights and luterestsof the people. Now over 2,000 national banks, wilh the control of more than two thousand millions of money, represent the gratuities and exclusive privileges which, in the language of Jackson, ''make the rich richer and the potent more iowerfal." The evil which he sought to destroy at Its blrtiihasln our time become a colossal giant, dominant and absolute in every department ot the government, lie warned his countrymen against au infant In its crad e, now grown to be a monster, whose desolating hoof prints are to be found Invading all the thresholds of Industry and business from ope oceau to the other. Jeckson plead for reform in our financial system when the cloud of danger appeared no bigger than a man's hand In our po.it leal ky. The whole heavens are black, and nothing save the application of his doctrines will ever again give us a shinlDg sun over our heads. Let us signalize our oevo ion to these doctrines by an act of legislation for the benefit of prostrate business and destitue labor. The repeal ot the law compelling the payment of all debts In coin from and afir the 1st of January next will bring light and hone to millions Of darkened hollies. It Will CUt tllC accursed ligatures of contraction, permit the money Of tile country, the arterial circulation or business Hfe.tO llow again In healthful currents and in natural channels. Paralysis will disap. pear, activity and prosperity will revive, the dead will come to life, and new sounds will be heard, the sounds or busy, cheerlul, happy lalnr. No act of this government since the advent of peace at Appomattox, 13 years a no., his been hailed with such joy as wi'l ring throush the land over the reis-al of this pernicious law the deadly upas tree of American legislation. 2sor will rejoicings le con firmed to any one section. A shout ol gladness will ascend from every quarter; from the laboring masses of New "England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the entire Atlantic seaboard, as we.l as trnm that mighty seat of present and future political and agricultural empire, tne valley of the Mississippi. The coast of the Pacific, too, will respond, and the whole people wiil once more leap forward under natural Jaws, and not under artificial restraints imposed by the selfish greed of favored classes. A feeling of contentment aud obedience to law will spring up in mlillons of hearts that are now sore, rck less and defiant under a sense of wrong. Popular relief will insure public tranquillity, the turbulence of distress in the labor regions will cease, and even the money power itself will at last find that an act of justice to the people, though long delayed and reluctantly conceded, is a good investment. GENERAL TELEGRA3IS, It is Thought the Present Session of Too arres is Drawiog to a Cloe What H ill be Done Willi the Confession or JIcLIn and Dennis Other Measure. Wasihsgtox, May 5 Owing to the forwardness of the general appropriation bills it is thought by a number ot members of congress an adjournment sine die can take place toward the last cf June. They do not suppose that the discus-ion of the tariff bill will occupy more than a week, and say that ample time will be afforded for the consideration of the Pacific railroad bills and other prominent public meaiures. Strenuous efforts will be made this week to either lay the tariff bill on the table or postpone it until next session, which result would be fnuivalent to its defeat. Representative ood, however, is still sanguine that it will become a law at the present session. There seems to be eotne uncertainty as to whether a movement will be made to-mor-row or Tuesday for an investigation of the alleged Florida frauds. Representative Springer is mentioned as the authority for the statement that a resolution to accompany the report on Blair's Maryland resolutions, reopening tbe presidential question, has been jostponed by tbe committee on judiciary. He has not seen tbe resolution, but presumes it will be similar to Clair's resolutions calling upon congress to order an investigation of the alleged frauds in Florida and Louisiana, and authorizing the appointment of a committee to send for persons and papers. It is. not- thought such an investigation, if ordered, would occupy much time. As the committee on jn-. diciary during the former congress thoroughly examined the subject of the presidential canvass in Louisiana and Florida, the most important addition to the facts ascertained by that committee would be the depositions of McLin and Dennis, together with other authenticated- papers in that connection, which, it is claimed, can readily be produced, and are the first admissions of fraud by parties directly concerned in perpetrating them. Fewif any of the democratsanticipate that congress will take any action disturbing the official position of President Hayes, and many of them desire to o no further than to place on record tbe proofs of fraud that may be produced before any committee that may be authorized to receive them. It can be said, however, that no line of conduct has yt been agreed upon relative to the subject above mentioned, although there is much speculation concerning it. Tbe immediate friends of tbe Texas Pacific railroad say that the bill recently introduced by Senator Johnston as a compromise between their company and the Southern Pacific railroad is in no sense in their interest. They claim that Senator Johnston is no friend of their measure, and they are sanguine of passing their bill as reported by the Pacific railroad committee. Do! ii k of tne Cardinals. Home, May 4.

What think you would be the result if the earth should stop spinning around the sun? Were you ever Dear a large and intricate machine when one of its wheels became clogged or broken near enough to hear .the grating janing c?ash. the sudden deafening crash? Astronomers assure us that precisely similar effects, only on an inconceivably grander scale, would be produced if our earth one of the wheels in the universe machine would suddenly cease its revolutions. In other words there would be a general clash and crash of satellites, planets and systems. What we term financial crises are due to similar causes- One of the Tvbeela in the finance machine becomes clogged, perhaps shattered. The terrible Wall street every part of the financial mechanism of the j country. But analogies do not stop here, i There is that other mechanism, the most intricate of all sometimes called an organism I because it generates its own forcej the hu- ! man machine.

The shock comes and utter prostration is the result, lie pa ration can only be effected by the restoration of the impaired parts and the readjustment of its leavers the physical forces. There is one part of the machine more liable to disorder than any other, the liver, the great balance wheel of the machine. The liver being the great depurating or blood cleansing organ of the rystem, set it at work and the foul corruptions which gender in the blood and rot out, as it were, the the machinery of life are gradually e ipelled. from the system.
