Tbepeople of Wichita generally are not givento that sort of thing, and although wehave listened to the sweet cnln-mus- ie ofthis young man for some days we havebeen rather surprised that he has rarelyalluded to the "queen city" of the "hap-py vally," and especially Its post officeand "leadiag paaer."

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

Its New Chronometer BurglarProof Look.

It is now entirely useless for bur-glars to undertake capture . tbeofficers ot tbe First National Bank

Emporia. There Is wayknown to man whereby the burglarproof safe of this bank can be openedduring the hours tbat bnrglars havework in. On Wednesday one of the cel-

ebrated Sargent A Oreenleef f500 chro-nometer bank locks was attached to thesafe. This lock was invented by Mr.Sargent, and is his last and greatest ma-chanl-cal

triumph. He was also the origi-

nal Inventor of tumbler principle,upon which nearly all safe locks are aowmade. Ha claims that all other chro-nometer locks are infringements uponthe Sargent A Greenleaf, and proposes toprosecute all other manufacturers. Weknow nothing about tbe validity of thiscUlm, but it Is that the SargentGreenleaf chronometer lock is a very sim-

ple nd effectual devise, splendidly made,and unsurpassed by anything else of thekind. The clockwork part of it la double,so as to Insure action under any circum-stance, and the manner in which It op-

erate a lock so as . prevent the regularlock ot the safe door front shoving backits bolts, is so simple and direct that itseems impossible for it to fall to operatewith entire accuracy. It may be setprevent the safe from being unlocked bythe bank officers themselves, for torty-si- x

consecutive hours, or any lesser number,aad no instance has occurred of its everhaving "locked out" officers of tbebank after the hour had arrived towhich it had been set te permit the safe

be oponed. Such accident recentlyoccurred to aa eastern bank using the9100 Plllard aad caused a gooddeal of and expense.

The officers of the First National havebeen engaged lor some time la exantialafand comparing four different makesof chronometer leeks, which are doubt,less all very good, and vary la price fromf250 9&00. They finally deededUke tbe Sargent aad Greenleaf 9500 lock,and we believe they have made a veryJudicious choice.

riNAI CIAL-ANSW- EB TO "RE-SUMPTION."

The motives of those who opposetbe law pledging the United States toredeem its greenbacks in gold on andalter Jan. 1, 1879, have not been im-

pugned half so much as they have im-

pugned the motives of those who op-

pose that law.The simplicity of a question is a

reason why it can and have adirect answer.

Tbe question of the supreme importance of GOLD, is not an issue in thisdiscussion. Neither is any interconvertible bond or any other plan whichdisregards the gold measure of values,in issue. For sake of the argu-me- nt

at least, I agree entirely withmy Resumption that gold is themeasure of all values, and that, to usebis own language.

We will agree exactly as to this be-

ing the end we seek, and differ only asto the methods of reaching that end.Let us theretore avoid dragging inmatters that are not in issue in thisdiscaaaion, which really embraces buttwo subjects, viz : The present Re-

sumption and the intercon-vertible gold interest bond plan, andtheir comparative merits in raisinggreenbacks toward a gold value. liethinks tbe Resumption law the best ofthose two ; I think it the worst.The statistics are against the law,

tion, and reducing them to an amountwhich government can actuallydeem on demand with gold coin. Butbe also proposes to not disturb, or wewill say, not greatly injure, the busi-ness interests of country. Let ussee what effect his way of securingspecie payment would have upon thebusiness interests of the country, andwhether we can afford even so valua-ble a thing as specie payment in 1879

at the price It would cost us :

The national bank notes are redeem-able in greenbacks, and lat-ter are redeemable in gold, ot coursethe former practically are also. Theentire amount of greenbacks andnational bank notes now is, inround numbers, say $670,000,000, and

Total 925,000,000 of gold in theUnited above ground.

We reasonably expect thisamount of gold to be increased byJan. 1, 1879, because we have to sendall the gold we can get from customs,mines, or other sources, to Europe, asfast as we receive it. This is also an-

other unpleasant FACT.Therefore we rely upon hav-

ing more than 925,000,000 of goldJan. 1, 1879, and as theof paper currency that gold can manageto float ia five to one, even inEngland or France, we cannot safelyvent ure more than three to one, andmust either increase our supply ofgeld or our 9670,000,000to 975,000,000 to safely resume speciepayment according to the Resump-tion law.

to It.The only 3 :65 interconvertible bond

plan in issue In this discussion is thatot Horace Greeley's, viz. to makegreenbacks and 3:65 gold interest andprincipal bonds Interconvertible witheach with a view to therebyraising greenbacks to at least near agold So there is no need todrag in any other interconvertibleplan, disregards gold values al-

together.That this Greeley would raise

greenbacks to nearly a gold value, isself evident. Our 5 "and 6 per cent,bonds are worth considerably overpar in so tbat a 3 :5 gold bondwould be on the same worthabout par In gold. A bond tbat willbring $ 100 in and could also behad for fl00 in greenbacks, cer-tainly tend to equalize the --value ofgold and greenbacks. That is veryfair reasoning, and it remains to beshown why tbe experiment should atleast not be Conceding thatman really desires to green-backs up to as near a gold value asthey can be brought without injuringthe business interests of tbe countryby the process, I cannot see bow sucha man can consistently refuse to adoptGreeley's 3:65 interconvertible goldbond plan, in preference to any yet

the public. Such a man is bythe of his premises and proles-sio- ns

to and advocate that plan,as the best so far offered which tbecircumstances of the case will permit.

The only man who can consistentlyrefuse to adopt that plan, is the manwho regards tbe luw of supply and de-

mand, and not gold, as tbe measureot all values, and I am not occupyingthat position in this discussion, butcheer lully consent to stand upon myfriend s platform, viz., that gold is the

redemption, not of only measure of and greenthe currency. Having at suouia ne orougnc to par

Resumption law to ever work out, andI wish my friend would consider themworthy of bis entire mind and explainthem.

Resumption misunderstands mymeaning of the statement that a manshows bis good faith by paying inwhat he has, if unable to pay in whathe agreed. The debtor ought to offerthe best be has, and so long as th ecredit is tree to except or reject th.proffered pay, the will be takenas evidence of good faith tbat will aidrather than injure the debtor's credit.Such an offer is a very different thingfrom forcing a payment in jack rabbits.Tbe case cited of a man giving hisnote If unable to pay the money whenIt Is due. covers the case of the govern-ment exactly.

it can pay tnem in, its d;to gold in-

terest interconvertible bonds. Thegovernment, and th resumption law,deny this request. They say we won'tpay in such bonds, but just wait andwe'll pay you iu gold itself by Jan. 1,1379,--a promise that every man who haslooked Into the United States treasuryknows can't and won't be kept, un-less through a contraction so severe tbatit will prostrate the business interestsof the country for twenty years. Thissort of jack rabbit pay Is entirely

to the greenback creditors,and the more It is persisted in tbemore the currency falls in value. Seethe money market quotations for theevidence. '

The real objection my friend enter-tains toward the 3 :65 gold interest In-

terconvertible bond plan is probablythis that he does not see how it can beadopted and bis favorite resumptionlaw be carried into effect. Here he isright. He sees tbat the greenbackswhich would be funded Into suchbonds, would be converted back intogreenbacks the moment gold was of-fered for the latter, and tbat thereforethe government would be obliged toredeem all the currency that we nowhave, and as be has concluded this isimpracticable, he is forced to choose be-

tween the interconvertible gold bondcurrency plan or the actual specie re-demption plan, and sticks to tbe latter.But this is where he makes his mis-take. He ought to see that actualspecie payment in this country is en-tirely incompatible with a due regardtor its business interests, and that deplorable as this fact may be it is one ofthe results of the war, and of our im-mense foreign gold debt, and beingimpracticable, it is folly to attempt it.He should choose tbe least of the twoevil, enough currency to do businesswith on the 3 :65 interconvertible bondplan, or not enough currency to dobusiness with on the actual speciebasis plan and conclude that businessmust go on anyway, as It has done forthe last fifteen years, whether we feelthe magic touch of gold or not.

I think as my friend Investigates thefinancial question, he will perceive andwith profound regret acquiesce in theinevitable necessity of tbe people ofthis country continuing to carry onbusiness with paper money not legallyredeemable in gold, if he proposes tbatthey carry on any business worthtalking about.

Tbe Resumption law that my friendhas pinned his faith to simply pledgesthis government to a premise that itcannot keep, and cramps and destroysthe business Interests of tbe people infutile attempts to accomplish a financial impossibility. That Is all the re-sumption law has done, and all it cando, and therefore it ought to be repeal-ed without further delay.

Mr.Hanna is thoroughly established in theInsurance line, and is one of tbe best in--rormed, and mcst popular and reliableagents In the State- - Mr. Stubbs is wellqualified to add to the business, as hisstanding is first class, and his acquain-tance extensive through this and manyother counties. Tbe Howe Sewing ma-chine trade has been pushed vigorouslyand successfully by Hanna A Starr, andwill not be allowed to decline by the newfirm. They have a number of sub-agen- ts,

Low grades, 20c 1 8.

Oats are from 15 to IScts, and rye 30 to35cents. These are these are the pricespaid by Hornbarger & Co.. and rule themarket here. They are of the opinionthat wheat is going to cone down, as thevisible supply in tbe world is greaterthan the demand, and in England marketsare weak. India wheat has begun toarrive in England via the Seuz canal,which England now controls, and seriousfears are entertained that this source ofsupply will become a formidable com-petitor with American wheat.
