The Glorious Erperiment.-The most
decided effects attend the operation Of
the Presidents experiment in regard TO
the currency. Like the touch of a
magician's wand, the effect is instanta-
neous, and the experiment is no soon
er made than the aspect of things is
Immediately changed. Smiling plenty,
full employment, success and prosper
ity, give place to haggard want, bank
ruptcy and ruin. Here are few OF
the results of this glorious scheme.

NEWS FOR FARMERS.


We are informed by person who
was in the Pittsburg Market last week,
that Flour was sold and was selling at
one cent per pound; and many other
articles of produce in the same proper
ton. And the Gazette states that
50 80 per barrel may be considered
as the average price. AT Marietta,
Ohio, it is selling at the same rate.
The reason of this is, that merchants
and others from difficulty of obtaining
money, cannot and will not purchase
to send abroad. Thus the Farmers
are coming in for their share of the
general depression which arises from
the war upon the currency by the ad.
ministration. But the worst is vet &c
come. The time will shortly arrive
(unless Gen. Jackson changes his
course) when the farmer will be oblig.
ed to sell his produce for half price
and receive in return money that may
die in his hands before he can reach
home. Such is the state of affairs
we are aware awaits the Farmers 0
our country. We really and sincere
ly wish it were otherwise. The agri
cultural interest of the land is para
mount to all others, and should be al
together free from depression. Blu

A very numerous meeting Of the
Merchants and Traders of the interior,
now in the City of Philadelphia, was
held in the spacious dining room of the
United States Hotel, in Philadelphia,
on Saturday evening, the LIST of March
1884, at which JAMES BARBOUR, Of
Kentucky, presided, and the following
resolutions were unanimously ador ted:
/. Resoired, That National Bank is
essential to the prosperity of the United
States, and especially to the interior oil
the country, to the inhabitants of which,
sound currency, and equal exchanges
are of the highest moment.
2. Resolred, That the Bank of the Uni
ted States has furnished currency al
ways as good, and often more desirable
than specie, and has afforded all the bene-
hts which could be desired for trade; and
that we apprehend as the greatest of evils,
return to a State Bank currency, un
checked by the existence of National
bank-our experience having shown the
course oil such system in flood of un.
current and irredeemabls paper, and a
series of relief and stop laws.
3. Resoired, That, as under the pre-
sent organization Of the Bank of the Uni
ted States, portions of its capital are dis
tributed over every section of the Union,
and in this way the Public Deposites are
rendered beneficial to the whole country,
we cannot recognise the justice of the
claim OF those who demand the exclusive
use OF this treasure for banking purposes
Tor how can the importing merchants
pay the duties on goods without selling
them TO us, and how can we pay for
goods without vending them again? We
contend that it is not the importer or the
retailer, but the consumer, who ultimately
pays the duties, and therefore we prefer a
National Bank, with Branches, that the
efts.
Resoired, That the depreciation in
the value of property and produce, toge
Their with the losses and difficulties now
sustained IN trade by the interior, are un.
reasonable and grievous: ard such as, if
not speedily prevented, will involve the
western country in the greatest embar-
easements.
.. RESOLVED, That the Senators and Re.
representatives. from the interior are hereby
earnestly requested, as ttey regard the
interests OF their constituents, 10 use their
efforts to effect re charter of the Bank
OF The United States with such modifca
lions as the wisdom of Congress may de
wise.
6. ResOived, That the present condition
oil the country is alarming in the extreme;
that the consequences to the interior where
capital IS less accumulated than on the
seabord, must be most severe. and that
The state of the Nation demands immedi-
ate and efficient measures Of relief, with
out which We see nothing but ruin TO our
country.
I. Resoired, That the present suffer
Ings Of the people being entirely the result,
OF human action, the means Of relief are

happy to have it in power to correct our own

the representation from that state stood last winter

about $1,000 majority, being increase since 1882,
of 5000. Five counties yet remain to be heard from,
which will not materially vary the result Thus the

WIDE AwAKE.-Our townsman Capt ROBINSON

during the three eventful days. He, understand,
accidentally attended the meeting in the 4th Ward,
and was there called upon to address the meeting,
which he did with the most happy effect, in speech
of more than an hour long after which he was wait
ed upon by the committees of several other wards,
and invited to attend their meetings. He accepted
the invitation, and addressed the meetings in four
different wards, at of which, there was congre-
CATION of more than two thousand sailors. From
the native energy of Capt. PorrER's powers, both

by the democracy of NewY York.-We further un-

The most to which our enemies pretend i'll any
controversy is the dement's of their opponents: and
hence arises detracton of public measures SLAM
der of official servants, subversvc of all confidence
in public documents. They have lately seized on
the post office with the spirit of spider, who after
much watching has caught fly.
! OF Major Barry the little l know entities him to
my gratitude, and to yours. Previously to Octo-
| Der, 1880, the mails which were destined for New
York, and which arrived at Albany on Saturday
had to lie there till Monday. man having note
to pay Monday, and wishing to remit the money
by mail, was compelled to have his money in New
York by Saturday--The aggregate loss of interest
to the whole community must have been great.
Unacquainted with Major Barry, ventured to
direct him the evil, and Immediately he answered
me follows" Instructions shall be given to the
postmaster at Albany to put up a mail for New
York on Sunday. rs well as other days. The adj
vantages to Utica and other towns west of Albany
are most apparent, and shall be continued to them"
Previously to Major Barry's administration; only

that the expenditures of the post office shall not ex-
