It would not be such a difficult matter to adjust oar currency system on a satisfactory basis if it were not for the politics and selfishness that enter as disturbing factors.: The first question the professional politician of the aspiring kind asks when a financial proposition is broached is how it-will be" regardedfavored or opposed by those to whom he looks for his support, and in nine cases out of ten his position on that proposi tion is taken, accordingly. It may be added that nine out of ten of them give very little thought or study to financial problems although they may talk volubly on them, sim ply echoing the utterances of those whom they serve because it is to their interest to serve them. Hence nearly all financial ques tions are discussed either on sectional er on partisan lines, when there ought to be nothing sectional or partisan in them. We had ample illustration of this in the financial discussions during the last Congress, when Republicans and Democrats ot the Eastern States united in defeat ing the repeal of the bank- tax be cause its repeal was objectionable to the men who, controlled the banks of their section, who had and, still have a practical monopoly of the paper circulation of the country. The Re publicans opposed it On sectional grounds, because it would tend to decentralize the money power which has been concentrated in their sec tion, and on partisan grounds because it was a Democratic measure, recom mended by the Democratic platform of 1892. The Democratic represen tatives of the East opposed it on the same sectional grounds as the Re publicans did. We will have still other illustrations during the present Congress in which we will find the Republicans opposing measures re commended by the President and the Secretary of the Treasury, not be cause they may lack merit, but be cause they emanate from Democratic sources, which it is a main part of the Republican programme to an tagonize. This is, of course, all done under pretence of doing the best for the people and to promote the general prosperity, when the fact is they are ffar more concerned in doing the best for themselves and in promot ing the success of the party. ; There is both politics and selfishness in this, politics connected, with selfish ness and selfishness based on poli tics. The selfishness pure and simple which has no regard for politics only in so far as it may be made subser vientjmd tributary is shown by the men who happen to be in a position to dictate our financial policy, who favor only such measures as will put money In their coffers and oppose all that may possibly divert some money from those coffers, regardless of whether such measures would pro mote the public weal or not. - We have seen this selfishness running through all this financial discussion for a generation and it is as assert ive, aggressive and uncompromising to day as it ever was, and has rather grown stronger with the years and with its repeated successes. It has . . i. t t i Wat nils lummy uuuurcus 01 mil lions of dollars and has driven it into a labyrinth of embarrassments from which it seems impossible to extricate it. If politics and selfishness could be set aside it would be comparatively an easy matter to do this, for then we could go back to the original land marks, to the departure from which nearly all of our financial perplezi ties may be traced. Then the people had the right to suddIv their own currency through the medium of their a State banks and there was no pres sure brought to bear on Congress to establish this or that kind of a finan cial system in the interest ot any section or of any class. Then the National Government confined itself to its' .constitutional function of coining metallic money for the people and the people supplied themselves with the paper currency which their business required. Then the Na tional Government did not stand sponsor for banks and was neither an ' open nor silent partner in them, and was not harrassed with questions with which it has of right nothing to do, but which are the logical se quence of venturing beyond Its do main in the field of finances, per plexitles which have been magnified by the officious intermeddling of po llUWm BUU UiVlVWUHIJ lilw9VtJt mere is nine nope xor a return to these landmarks now, for wfc have - strayed too far from them and a gen " eration has grown up under the the . teachings of the new system, who would have to be educated out 'of - nearly all that they have been edu cated into and crown ud - with. - If landmarks it will be through, the c K,Vo -mm, wr destroved to make way for banks based on Gov- f.mnt bonds or rather on a na- tional debt, to perpetuate which the national debt must be perpetuated, ti h. stnt hanV were restored the I eV U hiV ejsrmwwwwas ve w question of the volume- oi money would adiust itself to the conditions as they presented themselves, and the question of the volume ':of the currency would be settled without further agitation. This would incidentally settle the ques- tion of the coinage ot stiver, tor which there would be no longer the . ' m a demand there is now, and it would settle the greenback question, be cause these greenbacks,' and the siU ver too, which . they tell us can not be gotten into circulation, could be used as a basis for the notes issued by the State banks. Bat there is no hope for the State bank, unless the Georgia movement, in which Secre tary Hoke Smith is taking an active part, to test the constitutionality of the bank tax in the courts succeeds. If the courts decide against the con stitutional! v then the way is clear for the establishment of the banks, and the first steD will be taken to extricate the country from the finan- .:! nnif!i9mMt in nrhir.h tt has v.a. been placed ever since it undertookrl " k,v; Ke!.cc . I MOTOR MENTION. The exporting of American wheat this vear of which we had about -. 60,000,000 bushels more than needed for home consumption has been re markably sluggish notwithstanding the shortness in the world's supply and the ruling low Drices. But the sluggishness in wheat has been some what offset by the increased ship ments of corn, which may possibly to some extent have taken the1 place of wheat, the exports up to date being larger than any preceding year, amounting to over 20,000,000 bushels. The increase at New Or leans, where the exports of wheat have declined, have been no ticeable, the shipments in the month of November ; footing up 1,607,539 bushels, against none at all for the corresponding month of last year. Twenty-eight vessels left port in that month loaded with corn, three ot wnicn carriea over 100,000 bushels and one 172,087 bushels. The indications are that the shipments will .continue to in crease from that port, as the Missis sippi river presents opportunities for cheap transportation. One thing re markable in connection with the corn exports is that owing to the prejudices of the Europeans against the use of corn as "food, which are still strong notwithstanding the efforts to remove them, most of this corn is imported to -be fed to hogs and cattle. It will take time to con vince the people over there that it u good food for the -human being, much better than the bread that most of them eat, and then the ship ments of corn will become a big thing. When Messrs. McCall and Barrett, Republicans, offered their whereases and resolutions in the House of Rep resentatives, Tuesday, the former to enquire if Ambassador Bayard said certain things in England and Scot land and if so whether anything, and if so what had been done by the President to call him to taw; the lat ter calling for his impeachment if he did make the objectionable remarks as alleged, they were merely playing a little game of partisan buncombe, ana rating tnat opportunity to pose as special champions of American dignity. They know that whether Mr. Bayard indulged in these to them objectionable phrases or not that they constituted no impeacha ble offence, and that an American Ambassador has as much right to the freedom of speech as any other citi zen, whether he wear the garb of an Ambassador or not. The good taste of such utterances may be questioned by some.because they might leave the speaker liable to the imputation of reflecting upon his own country to ingratiate himself with a rival coun try, with which we have been at vari ance both on the tariff and other matters of public policy, but there is nothing culpable in them, and the most serious thing about the whole business is that there was too much truth in what he said, and he had the candor ta speak it freely. a; ' The Washington dispatches yes terday stated that the Republicans in the Senate concede the Finance Committee to the Silver men, a con cession which has a big streak of politics in it. This is the most im portant of all the committees, for through its hands all financial meas ures first pass before they come up ior aiscussion ana action, and as ? j ' ' : ' both Houses, as a rule, are governed very much by the reports of the com mittees they have a very great If not always a decisive influence on the fate of measures proposed, taking it for granted, of course, that the ma jority of the committees are in ac cord politically with the majority in the respective bodies which they represent. The finance Committee being composed of a majority . of silver men, a majority of whom are Democrats, the Republican Senators will feel under no political obliga tion to stand by. the committee or assume responsibility, for any meas ure it may propose and favor. As this is to be a Congress where "mas- ieny inactivity - will ; oe tne 1 pro-, gramme of the Republicans it is to tneir . nana to nave the committee which : will have the sayso about measures that wmattract most auen- tion and become, most conspicuous as issues in charge of men who will not be wceiy to report any mcaau c tbatthe Republicans could or would endorse. A narrow ;escape from being em balmed and buried alive is reported from the town of Wilkesbarre, Pa., where a woman apparently died one day last week. It was decided-to de fer the burial until friends . arrived, which, after some time elapsed, necessitated embalming. The nn dertaker prepared for this,-bathed the body with warm water and then applied cold water, when the sup posed: corpse sat bolt upright. The astonished undertaker bolted out of the house, but recovered his equili brium by the time he reached the street , and went tor- a pnysician. When he came they found the wo man surrounded by her family; the doctor administered stimulants and the embalming and f uneral were in definitely postponed. 7 K Sensational journalism is practiced to some extent in New York, but the New Yoik Ttmes is one of the jour nals that does not engage in it, de- pending on real merit as a newspaper . Mt ..: "a on a saie ana intelligent, mu a--1a tsayu Ka 9r Tn 5fe editorial utterances it is conservative but vigorous, anctas a presenter of the news in compact bu: ?uf5':enily comprehensive form, it is without a suDerior. It covers the field of a great newspaper, both in the daily anH wmHv edition. j ( The Jew baiting business must be getting dull on the other side, which may account for Herr Ahlwardtjs presence, in this country, where be thinks the Jews are having too much of a good and easy time. There is no law to prohibit nuisances like Ahlwardt from coming to this coun try but there is no law that requires people to give them countenance or to prohibit giving them a very wide berth. One of our exchanges says that "hold-ups" are- so numerous in his town that a Chicago man would im agine he was at home. It cites one case of a "hold-up" where a man who had no money was knocked down and robbed of his boots. Hold ing a man up to knock him down looks somewhat erratic if not jockular. Senator Mills has introduced a bill in the Senate providing for an issue of short time non interest bear ing Treasury notes,, and for paying silver in redeeming greenbacks when the gold reserve runs ' below the $100,000,000 mark. The latter part of this is level-headed, bat will not strike the gold worshippers in that way. ----- . ' Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, has introduced a bill in the Senate providing for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of 15, the act to go into effect when similar laws shall have been enacted by Great Britain, France and Germany. This is a fraud. The conditions make it such. Two men who attempted to steal $100,000 worth of rails from the Union Pacific railway pleaded guilty of petit larceny, were fined $50 and sent for ten days to jail. The court didn't see anything grand in that kind of larceny. They have some very unaccommo dating people in Chicago, where a woman the other day declared that she would commit suic'.de if any one would promise to pay her funeral expenses, up to the last accounts no one had responded. A Chicago jdror failed to respond to the roll call the other day, bat his absence was satisfactorily accounted for when it was learned that he had been arrested the night before while engaged in burglarizing a house. Mrs. Hoke JSmith says when a wo man takes her place in the business world as a man she mast not expect men to show her any more consider ation than the do each other. Bat men who are built right do, all the same. '. '-: v Produe jEBzohange Matter. At the meeting of members of the WA a - m - rrooace nxcnanse yesterday, it was agreed, apon motion of Mr. D. L.

We are informed and be ieve that there are plans on foot looking to the dismemberment ot the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad; and v Whereas. This system of railroad was conceived in the minds of our fore fathers more than fifty years ago, for the purpose ol connecting tne mountains with the seaboard and with tne declared object of developing the country conti guous to it, tnercDy nauaing up a sea port town of some importance; and Whereas. The State of North Caro lina his given liberally of her treasure with this purpose in view, and the city of Wilmington was induced to subscribe the sum of f 150.000 upon the promts that the system would be complete, and direct communication with the moun tains and through to the great North western markets of the country would be maintained; and . - J, Whereas. We look with grave appre hension upon the holders of the bonds who refuse to accept the plan of organ ization proposed by the Baltimore com m it tee, and at the same time refuse to disclose their plans, which would show the intent as to all interests. Including the city of Wilmington, forcing us to the legitimate inference from their action that they intend at the last moment to withdraw from the bondholders' agreement r as to re organization and demand that the road be sold in separate sections, which means dismemberment and breaking up of the system and subsequently the . original plan for internal improvement in our State, for which the charter was granted, and strike a death-blow to the interests of our city for which she has paid her bard-earned money in taxes, which are buidensome almot beyond the point of enruMoce; therefore, be it Resolved, That we most respectfully pet tion the Jude who shall sit for the hearing of this case that he do not per mit this wrong to be done our city and State, and that he protect us to the full extent of his prerogative as the exponent of the law " " Resolved.
