One of General Grant's greatest tories was not won in war, but in times of profound peuee. On April 28, 1874, be vetoed an inflation bill which had passed both houses of congress, by decided majorities, and back of which were many eminent Republican politicians who imagined that they saw sure defeat ahead for their party unless they made concessions to those clamoring for "more money." The presstiro for the bill whs not all political. Many timid business men urged the president to sign the bill iu order to "stop agita tion. " In this tryiuii situation 1'rusidcut Grant allowed patriotism wholly above partisanship and a clear conception of sound financial principles, unobscured by shortsighted notions of immouiute busiuess expediency. He vetoed tho hill because in theory it would produce inflation. "Tho theory," he declared, "iu my belief is a departure from (he true principles of finance, national interest, national obligations to creditors, congressional promise, party pledges on the part of both political parties aud of personal views and promise's made by mo in every annual message sent to congress and in each inaugural address." So far from being a "settlement" the bill invited agitation. "Should it fall to create tho abundanco of circulation expected of it, tho friends of the measure, particularly thoso out of congress, would clamor for such inflation as would give tho expected relief." And ho defined his genual principle in. theso pregnant words, "I am not a believer iu any art ificial method of making paper money equal to coin when tho coin is not owned or held ready to redeem the promises to pay, for paper money is nothing mere than promise to pay and is valuable exactly in proportion to the amount of coin thut it can be converted into. " The monetary battles of this country are not yet all fought. Grant's words and acts should inspire those engaged in the present struggle. vic- I'ern Follows Japan.
