A DASUEROUS DEPARTURE.

fort todivido $17,000,000 of the moo
ey of tbo tax payers of the whole
country aiaotig a few Nor*hern
States iu restitution of direct taxes

Globe Democrat will take some little
pains to refresh its memory in respect
of the financial events of 1802-75, it
will readily discover that, if the Gov
ernuient undertakes to right all the
fiscal wrongs committed by tbo lie
publican party in that period,it would
empty every public Tseasury iu
Christendom to pay tbo losseB and
redeem tbe legalized and official
thefts. It paid the soldiers in green
backs when at the biggest discounts,
and tbe bond holders in gold; it
bound the people for a gold interest
beanug debt of $2,-100,000,000, in
creasiug the sarao between tbo last
year thereafter by $1,021,000,000; it
sold tho bulk of the bonds on a
greenback basis when tbo discount
on greenbacks ranged between 32J
and 60 per cent., and then passed a
law making the bonds payable in
gold and silver alone, and then turn
pered with tlio Revised Statutes
with the result of making them paya
ble in gold alone; and with $1,814,
000,000 interest bearing gold bonds
standing against the Treasury (for
which it or its parent issues it rec<iv
ed payment on tho greenback basis),
it organized a conspiracy in 1873 to
increase the value of tho debt io capi
talists, and its cost to tbo people 40
to 50 per cent, by making,‘gold tho
single standard medinm of axebango
iu lien of gold and silver combined,
thus conspiring in an effoit to double
the exchange value of gold, etc , etc.
But the list is too long, nnd we turn
from it in weariness of spirit. All
these nefarious operations were
frauds upon the nation’s tax payers
infinitely more ilagitious and enorm
ons than tho amount collected by di
rect taxation; nnd it is very obvious
that any attempt by a party already
itself bankrupt to lend tho Govern
ment into anything like an honest res
titution to taxpayer! at the expense
of the public Treasury would batik
rapt Uncle Sam incontinently.

A TALE OF WOE.
The London Economist laments I i
■ '4 which
the marked degeneracy is crop
plug out of late among tho standard
double-first houses of St. Swithin’s
Lane. In their absurd adhesion to
things that are old and quaint, if
musiv-, tf;e English of all classes love
their ancient names, and nothing
could induce them to speak of the
London Wheat Market when they
could call it Mark Line Corn Ex¬
change.
St. Swithin’s Lane is the Wall
street of thegil -edged varieties of
English capainl. The Economist
■hakes its head very knowing, and
withal very sorrowfully, at the in
vesting public, and wants them to
beware of “the lead of St. Swithin’s
Lane” in respect to certain new de¬
partures into which the Lane is seek
ing to conduct them.
Just listen to tho talo of woe:
“Such houses as Barings, Gibbs,
Rothschilds, are dabbling in such
depraving kinds of stockjobbing as
capitalizing brewing firms into im¬
mense joint stock companies which
they finance with the obstreperous
pertinacity of circus agents) they
support and boost copper syndicates
which run up the metal from $200 to
$400 a ton by a year’s forestalling
and engrossing, the while booming
the copper ruining shares of the
world,” etc. But the worst is to be
told: “They essay to compete with
men of the Jay Gould and Vander¬
bilt type/’ and, horible dictu, they
obtain “direct representation on the
New York Stock Exchange.
The Economist grimly observes
alter this harrowing recital that it
“is their business and not ours,” and
that their entering upon such courses
at their mature age is “absolutely a
matter of their own discretion.”
From which wo must perforce infer
that those frisky old bucks of St.
Switbin’s Lane are absolutely bent
on wooing the jade Fortune with all
the wild abandon of bucIi financial
satyrs us Gould and Vanderbilt, and
that they are indeed “joined to their
idols.”
Monsieur Secretnn. as we recall it,
who is the inventor and engineer in
chief of the French metal syndicate,
which has already contracted for the
product of nil the important copper
mines of the world for thiee years,
claimed a copartnership last, year
with tho French Rothschild, only to
provoke that magnet of capitol to a
blunt denial, in which he lied, as a
matter of course, merely for tho in
nocc-ut purpose, perhaps, of conceal
mg from the sellers of tho immense
properties they wanted to buy the
magnitndo of the resources of tho
scheme contemplated and tho mil
nite range of prices they could af
ford to pay. Tho copper deal was
probably safe enough to the etior
moiis capital which tackled it origi
nally at < xtremely low prices, aud it
was easy to make Paris tho center
of all the buying orders of the world
Tho copper output of all tho mines
of the United States is now being
shipped to France as fast as it is
turned on*, and American consumers
must buy American copper of John
ny Crapeaud, and Johnny makes
him pay 120 per c< nt. more than it
erstwhile cost him. But it is a rea
soniible inference that this fat
take on the copper commodity was
merely a side issue of the enterprise,
ns the i con in copper must neeessa
rily send skywaid tho previously
dragging quotations of mining shares.

ROfCOE C’OHKLISW.
Tho telegraphic Conkliug information of tho j
death of Roseoe was re .
ceived with a feeling of legret akin j
to sadness even io tbo remotest cor |
ners of (his broad country. With
bis death, one of the brightest intel
Iectual lights of America went out,
and our common country suffered a
loss
Partisan as Mr. Cook'ing was, he
disdained l >w measures and refas- d
political connection with impure
men. and preferred the retiiacy of
private life to enjoying tbo sweets
and emoluments of office gained in
any other way than pure and proper
methods.
Mr. Cor’ i* g was born at Albany,
New York, in 1 829, and was only 58
years old, in t full enjoyment of a
vigorous, rc ast manhood. His
last illoesi wab superinduced by tbe
terrible suffering from tbe exposure
in tbe fatal and fateful snow storm
that wrapped the metropolis of the
new world in its icy mantle, last
March. This sickness has kept the
people of all sections in constant up
prehension of the final results, and
it must be dot-’- regretted that
their worst fee ve been realized.
Cockling Las left a name for bril
liancy of intellect and integrity of
character that will prove a richer leg
acy to bis family than tho princely
fortune which be acquired in the
practice of bis profession. It is said
that his eha* f ' ,r -r has never been as
porsed, eve; the days of corrup
tion that fo. 1 tho war.- when
men iu high places were tainted and
men ns pure as ico did not always
ercapo calumny, Tbe general sor
row over the sad death of this iueor
ruptibie man is an expression of tbe
public appreciation of integrity of
character, as well as a manifestation
of pride in splendid intellectual en
dowments. Suspicion has dogged
the footsteps of many who have aban
doned public life, but Conkling uass
ed through the fiery furnace of poli
tics without even the smell of taint
on his garments.
Conkling’s life demonstrates that
corruption wins not more than bones
ty-
Were all wise enough to heed this advice In
season, a world of suffering would be avoided.
The best months In which to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, are
March April May
At no other season fs the body so much In
need of, or so susceptible to tho benefit to bo
derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, as now.
The impoverished condition of the blood, the
weakening effects of the long, cold winter, the
lost appetite, and that tired feeling, all make
a good spring medicine absolutely necessary.
Try Hood's Sarsaparilla and you will be con¬
vinced that it is the Ideal spring medicine.
