IMPORTANT raoM THE LAST CGxrUaY.-By the
slow mail from the last Century we have received files
of "the New York Weekly Journal" dated in April
and May, 1874 being l03 years since, from which we
have made several curious extracts, Illustrative OF
the sayings and doings" of that remote period Of
time. The following is the title of the paper
"The New York Weekly Journal, Numb. XIV,
Containing the Freshest Advices, Foreign and Do
mestick. Munday April 9th, 1884"
The following is the imprint =
"New-York: Printed and Sold by John Peter
Zenger: by whom Subscriptions for this Paper are
taken at three Shillings per Quarters and ADVERTISE
ments at three Shilngs the first Week, and one Sh-
ling every Weeks after"
From pretty long communication signed John
Trus,y," descanting on the foreign trade-particu-
larry the trade between New York and the Bermoo-
thes-we take the following specimen oflocofocosm
Sour luxury consists more in an expsnce of what
is Imported from foreign Ports, than what is of our
own growth Manufactures am credibly informed,
that Tea and China Ware cost the Province, yearly,
near the Sum Of Ten Thousand Pounds; and Peo-
pie that are the least able 60 the expence must
have their Tea tho their Families want Bread. Nay
am told often pawn their Rings and Plate 10 graiie
themselves in that Peice of Extravagance. Were an
Excise upon the Consumer, and that applied to boun-
ties, for raising of Hemp and making Cast Iron, 10
taken i'll by our Mother CouHtry. Nature has fur
nshed us with every Thing for our Advantage, and
we only want Frugality and Industry 10 make us OPP
ulent for We have no returns 10 Great Britain, we
must infalliby be soon over Head and Ears in Debt
and by our necessities be induced to multiply our
Bills Of Credit which will of Course multiply our
Msfortunes for in those Places where Paper Cur
rency had intirey obtained, by Raising Of It's Name
only, they have made Debt formerly contracted of
1901. to have been paid with half the Sum. Nay
some Times So and in Process OF Time will be paid
with 40 which 10 me seems publick Bankruptcy
and Composition, it renders Property unstable and
precarious, and all thinking People should do all IN
their power TO avoid SO great an Evil.
The New York Star, and several other chariatans
Of the PRESS gave the idea that hostility to paper
money, is modern notion, originating with Fanny
Wright 1t appears from this curious extract da-
ted April 1874, over l03 years since that more
rect notions of the currency were entertained in those
days, than you will find in the mpudent shnpaster
preenders of Our age II appears also that there
distress in those days The following remedy is the
one proposed =
"Attempts have been made in this Province by
which a pretty good Guess may be made, what they
will do; one cambridge, by raising Hemp upon
few Acres of Land has acquired good Estates for his
Children Men of mean Fortunes have erected
Bloomeres, and got a good Livelihood by them !;
what might then be done, if Men of Estates would
ven for every Tun of Iron and Hemp exported to
England by which means we should supply Eng
land with as good Iron and Hemp they have from
the Baick, and if we supplied them as cheap, which
am apt 10 think we may, we should receive all the
Encouragement from our Mother Country which. SO
laudabe an undertaking would deserve"
Industry, economy, and enterprise are the only re-
NEEDLES for public distress in every age.
