Henceforth the panic of l8B3 and the bu«- s disaster which It projected Into the two succeeding years can be spoken of In the pait tense." THERE’S A GOOD TIME CUBING. The deficiency in the revenues of the government during -the last three years has no doubt bad much to do with the financial troubles of the country. For several months biftore the close of Mr. Harrison’s tenm of office the expenses of ihe government ■wens largely in ex cise of the receipts, and there was a steady decrease of the treasury's shock of gold. Tha decrease became so se rious (hat at one time it was deter mined to issue bouut, and it is said that thte plates for printing them were aetiiillv prepared. But 'Mr. Harrison finally detetm nid that tbo treasury could hold out until the 4th of March, and that It would be good publics to impose upon his Democratic successor the disagreeable duty of Increasing the public debt in a itlmci of pence, in older to prraeove the Bold reserve intact znd prevent the public from losing confi dence in the aliilUty of the government to meet Us Obligations In gold u» de mand. When (Mr. Ofcwetand came into power he trUd to escape the ner'ssity of laiung boi»H ami would probably have Iren successful If tfie revenues had been suflleieM to pay the expenses of the government. But they ware not. lie was ddiged to pay those ex penses, and so tt came about that, ho Was forced to pay, practically, from the gold reserve at a Wine when the depletion of the reserve had shaken confidence in tho soundness of our monetary system. Bonds were tastfed to keep up Use reserve, but In effect, also, to pay the eXpaiMUs of itlbo gov ernment. It was under these unfavorable c r- cumetnnree that the work of reducing the iariiT wn* uudefttakeU fejf the Di- ocratlc congress, anil ihe inevlln'-ie re sult of that unWYtaklng of thiut work was to add to tiae treasury’s emtnrnis*- ment, no matter whoit the character of tho now tariff Inw niigbt bo. There has been a codin'Am of revenue under cveiy new general tariff t.iiw until trado could rcntVIiMt itasfif. In the face of a cerkJln reduction of the duties, during the long p.riod mtseo the strug gle over the tariff bill was going on in congrras, the reduction was luturally large. The prooeaa of readjustment has been B»ing on. however, ami during the last few months the totals of expenditures ami rrevipt* bare mind ly approached each cUhrr. There Is every prospect that in a short time, unless the Income- tax 4a declared umvntsltutlon.il, tlmra will be a surplus, instead of » difielt, in the revenue*. The llepulfilcan press. In tta eaprmts to iliacredit tho now tariff law and :he DomoenMlo admin- Irtrat on, dentes that this is true, en de.ivorlng to prove that the deficit will continue, and that itotrrthre the coufi dence (need CD A iDtttdtnK KTtOOO can only be restored tiy she action of a Kigalidlinn congress. But them la nit loi*t one Ibgmhlinan iwawmspne which i.s patriotic enough to tell ihe truth, and ttius hflp the ooumrjr to recover from the effntn of the pa uks. Tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat aijs: "There will he no detlclt In April From tMa time onward, It Is safe to eay, the icovertMM>nt'B income will at least meal Ha outgo, anti a month or two hence will exceed H. The sugar duties and the ln< creeaed whisky taxes are at last making themselves felt, and thoy will be import ant Items on their aide of the hats sheet hereafter. The Improvement bualneea which Is under way, end which Is Increasing the purchasing ability ot the people, will add largely to the general receipts of the government both at the custom houses and the Internal revenue call actors’ offices The fair working bal ance which Ihe treasury baa on hand will be maintained, and a few weeks hence It will doubtless begin gradually to Increase. 'The government has mads Its last bond sale for this year. Probably another will not be necessary in many yearn. 'The dread that an extra session of congress will have to be called If the su preme court dedans the Income tax un constitutional now vanishes. There Is no real reason, of course, to suppose that tha court will do this, but If It should congress would not have to be summon ed. Before the receipts from the tax be gin to come In the government wUl he la a post lion to do without them. The tax la expected to yield between $30,000,000 end $40,000,000 a year, but the government Is no longw seriously concerned about thw Import. Whatever the tax yields wifi be so much surplus. The trilling shortage tn March, and the saimis which It conveya that there will be no shortage at all In April constitutes the reentry's declaration of Independence on the in- come tax quration. No mors gold or cur rency scares are possible. The last cloud tn the financial sky bo* been hspersed. The business outlook grows brighter every day. What the Telegraph has slid on "he subject I* receiving sub stantial support oo all sides, end Its efforts too shimo the “croakere” and the “parrot*” Into silence have been kindly commended land Indorsed by our eoatemporerjc*. The commercial reports Itell of Im proved conditions of trado in many of the centers of commerce, more partic ularly 1n flu-South. The demand for money is Increasing, showing that on- restore ore gaining confidence and courage. The railroad* report mate rial growth in trafllc, and-in filet all the nows that comes now (s good news, a continuance of wtrloh there Is oo good reason to dotfbt. The 'Manufacture™' Record of Baki- mure puUfcshv* the opinions of repre sentative men tn all parts of the coun try. Leisters from such men as C. P. Huntington, John II. Inman, lAJbnun S. Hewitt, M. E. Ingalls and other end- lent authorities tdiow that their views are hopeful and safely conservative. Mr. Thomas Booth, president of the Merchants’ Exchange of -St. Louis, for imuunce, says that “the improvement which started the first month of the year -has beoome emphasized." We believe that the opinion* of eon- »•-native and reliable business men of Macon would support these opinions, nnd that they are equally expectant and hopeful Ot course, we need not extract to feel the Change at once, but we are certain ito get our share of the sunshine which la gradually dispelling tie clouds that have hung over the country for So long a time. TJhce Is every reason to hope. Those who are trained to observe the s'gn* tell us that we may confidently expect change for the beater, anil even -those accustomed to look only on the dirk or side cannot fall to see the silver fining to the cloud. tory of he Hawaiian revolution comer to be written, Mr. Blount's report will bo accepted ns telling fihe whole truth of the ma'jtcr. The revolution whs the return, of a coimpim- v, is which the minister of the Unkid States, if not a leading spirit, was ut least reMed upon to furnish the physical force, without which the revolutfon stood no chance of success. The pnwfideint’g oouree was bused upon that report, nnd history will doolnre that it was the only oouree consistent with ihe honor nnd dignity of our government. NOT YET THE TIIMIE.

The burden of that article (s an argument ,ln favor of tho Demo- credo parity nominating a Southern man for prewldettt In 1800. Out of this artloio the Post is getting a gnat deal of free advertising, ut which we do not objret.

AUTHORITIES DIFFER. MR. BLOavra REPORT. In the lent Nonth American Review Senator George Gray of Delaware writes mi t« .«lgent and able defease of the foreign policy of the present ad totnl«tration. Ho gbuws tha* the at. tneks upon it have In the main sprung from partisans feeling, from a false con ception of the (rue American policy, or from ignorance of American tradition*.

He has dosed his ears to .all Information, and until he has unclosed them by get. ting rid of the rldtculoosiidea that gold or silver has Inherent or intrinsic’ value, he will never be able to TinddersAmd and appreciate the' truths that are ot the most vital Importance to the people-” \V ulrit oris Un.i bridged Dictionary nays, in giving the doming of «ho word ’intrinsic:” "Inward; internal; hence, true; genu- Ine: real; essential; inherent; hot appar ent or accidental, aa the intrinsic value of geld or sliver; the Intrinsic merit of an action, etc.” It occurred to Mr. AVcinlter thut the litrii example he o»uld cite of Intrinslo value wnst the Irttrinntc rahio of gold and stiver. The Caereliurlon, on the other haml, thinks neither gold or sil ver hi* intr.nelc value—value Inherent n Itself. It scorns to us Wut the Constitution is merely spluriTig fairs. It may be true, ns It comeads, that nothing has inherent value—thht rhe value of every art Idle depends upon tho dcsnnnd for It, hut this oouhuxtion doe* not touch the point at Issue.

If the mints of all oauntrios ean be op«itd to silver—whlto would make the demand for silver ns money as ualveraal as the demand for goM—the coinage ot both meiolw on equal toms, In our opinion, will be safe. The lntrlttflc value ot gold and silver, like tile intrinslo value of every other art We, difwods upon the extent which they are useful Co men.

Tho passage of the law of 1873 reg ulnttlng it ho oolbaen of 'the U ai red aite*. by which the dollar was drop ped from the Jlgt of silver oolns, has hceo represeored as lha success of a terrlhlo conspiracy against Ihe mass the people, anfllneered by the gold trass of Wall and botribard streets. Congress did not know who* it was doing, It la said, but was (ricked Into the demonetization of slh-et. One of tbe principal witnesses crilKd io prove that -this la true has been Judge Wil liam D. Kelley of Pennsylvania, then, as for many years after, a prominent moanlber of congress. Jurtsre Kelley did not deny -that llho bill wi* pend ing uwo or Ithree years Irefore it w-m pasted or tbat It was extooSlvffly dis cussed on various occasions; hut he said years after the ^passage of the la/w, for .which he voted, that he did not know that It dropped rhe silver dolhv. The Louisville Courierijounial has been looking up the record, which show tbfit, If Judge Kelley did not know that (he silver dollar was dropp ed by the bill as It was passed, he certainly did know (be year before. In 1872, and was anxious I'hiw tho flolhr should be dnoppqd. It finds In Urn Con«r«MUraal Record a speech made by Mr. Kelley In rtufly to Mr.’ Tof'er of \'«s York, In which he said: One silver bullion dealer in New York during the last omgroas admit ted to the gentleman who la now act ing aa chairman of the committee In charge of the bill that under a defect In exiating laws he waa making at the coat of the government from $75,000 to $100,000 a year. • • A conatituent of the gentleman from New York has been taking advantage of the ruling and de posited silver to be made Into halt dbllara and other silver coins; and for every two dotlara’ worth of allver de posited by him he gets four half dot- lam and one ten-cent piece, or the equivalent thereof. • • • Again, air, by mistake In our law, it has become, Im possible to retain an American allver dollar In this country except tn col lections of curiosities. They coined In Considerable numbers, be a source of enormous profit to the silver bullion dealers of New York. • Besides, sir, by dblng this (passing the bills) we may retain within our coun try a silver coinage which we cannot do unless we do revise the laws In this respect. • • Is the government of the United States to be >i:*ue a pr»7 =7 Me people of the world In order to give large profit* to s <ew stiver bullion ficaisra Ip N«V Yorkt" I« Is ptTfocdy plain from this tbnt Judge Kelley, In 1872. recogulznl the foot (hot the silver dollar titta not a petit of the currency at the United States and that the provjron in the law allowing It to be coined on 'lie demand of any holder of *Uver bull ion, ewe an undue (ulvantnge to spec ulator*. In 1878. when he denied that he knew tbit 4h1a law abotlAed Ihe silver dollir, tho relattve poA.t on of gold and, allver hid changed. Several years lrad passed, during most ot which ndbody paid tho sligllMit attention to the new cotnagq ha, becjuso nobody was having metal. Whether gold or silver, coined. He ini'glut hove very wed flongoMen hi* position six years b.fore when be deentsod n question which he might fairly have thin con- rfdctod oot to be a pradteri one. The fact ought no to be forgotten for a moment, when th'* subject Is be ing dl*cica**l, 'bit Aancrienn silver doll.tr* were at no time before 1878 an appreciable part of (he currency of Ihe United Stales. Before chat time, only 8,000,000 of them bad been coined, and these, because they were worth more than the standard money of the country, flokl, had been ex ported aVraoPt as fast es they were coined, being worth more a* bullion tfan legal tender money. When Ibis fact Is remembered, it Is easy to un derstand that tbe ooooress of 1873 poraed (be new coinage law without die slight rat conception of It* ’.mpor- tance. Tbe members of that coogres* could not foresee (hat ’the relative value of gokl and silver would bo re- versed wfthlp a short time, and to as sume that their aoion wus faasnl on the knowledge that sorb a reverted would take place Is a* unjust to them aa ‘jt Is unreasonable.
