A bmp discussion arose between (•encrul Warner and Mr. Sperry over a question l>v 1 h i latter as to the effect tluit an increase of the circula tion would have upon ®ho price of labor. Mr. Sperry called attention to a statement bv the treasury de partment showing that the circula tion in 1ST;; had been $771,00:1,001), whereas, in ISO:; it. was over $!, '.'OO, 000,000, and asked him lirnv how he reconciled the facts,with the decrease in wages. Air. Warner replied chal lenging the treasurer's report of the poll! in circulation at the present time which he said was Sf-.'OO.OOO.OOO beyond the facts, and by referring’ to the in crease of population and wealth. Mr. Sperry did not consider the reply as adequate and intimat'd that if Mr. Warner’s theory had nothing more to stand on. it must fall. Kuoeli I Matt, president of the Haiti more clearing house, was next heard. He said w ith regard to the Haltiinoro plan that it embodied his views. Speaking of the fifth section of the ( arlisle bill, providing for a guaran the fund, he said it would be safe if the strong banks could be got into it, which he considered doubtful. The hearing was resumed in the afternoon with A. I,. Kipley, vice president, of the National Uhie and Heather bank of Itoxton on the stand. He characterized the scheme of issu ing demand notes redeemable in gold as thoroughly vicious. Colonel Jackson of Jackson A Cur tis, brokers, of Boston, followed Mr. Kipley. lie urged a provision in any bill that might be supported by the secretary to begin in January, IS1.):., to cancel 84,01)0,001) worth of’ United States notes each month until the en tire outstanding amount should be dis posed of and to sell bonds if neces sary to accomplish this result. To pass the Carlisle bill without any addition would, he thought, fall far short of restoring the confidence of the world. Will lie port t ho Carlisle Rill.

I*uy Kolia for &ove tuber Show an In* rreaa« of K:irnin|(4 of 15 I’er Cent. Nkw Vohk, Dec. IT. R. (}. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade say*: Dun’s review is enabled, by the kindness of several thousand manu facturers who have forwarded state ments of their pay rolls of November, this year, in 18113 and in 1802, to make a very encouraging comparison of earnings for that month, which shows an increase in total payments of 15.2 per cent over last year, but a decrease of is.a per cent in compar ison with I S1I2. A statement of hands employed shows that in the same es tablishments 10.2 per cent more per sons were employed than a year ago, but 8.0 per cent less than 1802. The average of earnings for over 250,000 hands is 4 per cent larger than in 18113, but 13.5 per cent less than in 1802, and this statement takes no account of hours of work in the months com pared, or of the establishments now working at all this year. In some of the industries more hands are at work than in 1802, but in others the de crease is large. Contradictory changes in business are quite in order at this season. Neither the larger orders in some branches nor the depression of prices in others afford a safe indica tion of the general movement. Hut tiie working force does not lessen more than usual for the time of a year and the demand for goods does not seem to diminish, though in some departments it is considerably below the capacity of works in operation and the volume of business transacted is a little larger in comparison with last year than in November. The speculative markets have ad vanced a little, through reasons hard to find. Wheat is unchanged in price, although Western receipts are as large as they were last year and At lantic exports are 831,205 bushels, against l,02ii,()()l) a year ago. Corn is a fraction weaker without any im portant change in movement though the receipts continue remarkably large. The heavy receipts of cotton have broken down the price to $5.75 in spite of a strong speculative in terest looking for some recovery from the lowest point on record. CROKER WILL NOT APPEAR.

"I did not know that any charges had been made against me," said Mr. Croltcr, "or that there is anything to vindicate.” The only thing Mr. Moren testified was that he contributed to Tammanv hall. If the committee wants to lin'd out about contributions to political parties, 1 am sure they can. Why don't they ask the Union League club, the Republican and Democratic organizations about political contri butions'.’ These organizations get them as well as Tammany hall. Let the committee look into contributions made to all organizations and not make its inquiry partisan, as they are doing.” "Hut you will take advantage of Mr. (ioff's offer?” lie was asked. "No, there's nothing to vindicate that I know of. Mr. Moran wanted to contribute to Tammany hall, and ho did so: that is all there is about it.” "Did you know anything about Captain Creedon paying Sir.,000 for a captaincy?” Mr. Croker laughed as if the idea amused him.

Valvular disease of the heart has always been considered incurable, i he following interview, therefore, will interest the medi cal profession since it describes the success ful use of a new treatment for this disease. The.patient is Mrs. (leo. Archer of Clifton, N. J., and this publication by the News is the lirst mention made of the case by any newspaoer. All physicians consulted pro nounced the patient suffering with valvu lar disease of the heart, and treated her without the slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: "1 could not walk ucross the floor; neither could 1 go up stairs without stop ping to let the pain in my chest and left arm cease. 1 felt an awful constriction about my arm and chest as though 1 were tied with ropes. Then there was a terrible noise at my right ear, like the labored breathing of some great animal. I have often turned expecting to seesomo creature at my side. “Last July,” continued Mrs. Archer, “X was atSpringlield, Mass., visiting, and my mother showed me an account in the Springfield Kxuminer, telling of the won derful cures effected by the use cf Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. My mother urged me to try the pills and on November -5 lust 1 bought a box and began taking them, and 1 have taken them ever since, except for a short interval. The first box did not seem to beneiit me, but I persevered, encouraged by the requests of my relatives. After beginning on the sec ond box, to my wonder, the noise at my right ear ceased entirely. 1 kept right on and the distress that I used to feel in my chest and arm gradually disappeared. The blood has returned to my face, lips and ears, which were entirely devoid of color, aud I feel well and strong again. "My son, too, had been troubled with gastritis and 1 induced him to try the Pink Pills, with great benefit. 1 feel that every body ought to know of my wonderful euro and 1 bless (iod that 1 have found some thing that has given me this great relief."’ Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shuttered nerves, two fruit ful causes of most every ill that flesh is heir to. These pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness,chronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent euro in all eases ari-iug from mental worry, overwork or ex cesses of whatever nature.

Washington, Disc. 15.—The house went into committee of the whole without preliminary business to-day with Mr. Tarsney of Missouri in the chair, and resumed consideration of pension appropriation bill, Mr. Gros venorof Ohio first deliverin'* a speech of an hour in which he criticised the attitude of the pension office toward the pensioners and pension claim ants, reviewed the policy of the office's alleged hostility toward the soldier and cited many instances of injustice. After Mr. Morse of Massachusetts and Mr. Lacey of Iowa had spoken in the same strain, Mr. Sickles of New York, expressed his distrust with the frequent recurrence in the president's message and the report of the secre tary of the interior and the commis sioner of pensions of charges of fraud in the pension roll. For the last time probably before his retirement 1 from congress he desired to defend 1 his old comrades from this slander. < With almost 1,000,000 names on the roll and S150.000.000 disbursed iu pen sions annually, he declared that the fraud discovered was utterly insignifi cant and should be a subject of self congratulation to every soldier in the land. Messrs. O'Neill, Milliken and Can non contributed to the debate with arguments and statistics to which no one listened. General debate closed at 3:40 i o'clock and the bill carrying 3i40,000, 000 was read in full " !
