SUBTREASURY VS.. BANK.

We have not seen Il happier hit at the
difference between Il National Bank and the
Independent Treasury than this. A writer
in Il Virginia paper, when abiding 10 the in
comparable horror manifested by the Wings
whenever they hear the word Sub-Treasury.
says: 1.-The word Treasury in itself carries
no terrors with it, but that portentous prefix
Sub, %conjurs up gloomy phantcms of danger.
A Gorgeous head is unveiled and ga thousand
ghots shrek together in the hollow wind"
Our schooIboys can tell that the proposition
Sub means under Sub-Treasury there
fore means under the treasury; and every
body knows that the treasury is under the
Secretary of the same--the Secretary is I'M
der the President, and the President under
the people who elected him, and whose SER
want he is. This is a republican subordina-
ton. BY this rugular graduation, we trace
power back TO IFS true source, the people
in America, the fountain head of all political
power. But suppose instead of putting this
alarming proposition Sub before the word
treasury, we place ii before the word United
States Bank, so as to make it the Submitted
States Bank, and then see how it works.
First. the Submitted States Bank is under
lis officers, well-seccndly, these officers
, 1841-01-30

are under the board of directors-very good;
thirdly and lastly, the directors are under
the stockholders. And this is the end Of the
chapter. Are the officers of this Bank cho-
sen by the people? No. Are the directors
elected by the people? No. Are the stock
holders Apo nted by the people or in any
way Just representatives .of the people,
No.. The word Sub is inapplicable-it is
not in the nature of Il National Bank to be
subject 10 any authority bat the dictates of
lis W interests; it is under no power but
the divinity Of gam. The word Super, how
ever, may be properly used in this case-the
Super United States Bank or the Above
United States Bank-that Is the bank which
at once towers, like Diana among her atten-
dant nymphs, supereminent above Congress
and atove the people,"

"Nothing can be more simple, sir, than TIE

witness, gruilly. s.Then why ssch evasion?
Why not state it at once?'> "Well. then. if
you must have it. ''Must! | will have it,"
vociferated the COUNSELLOR, intcrrupting the
witness. "Well, then, if you must and will

TRADE AND COMMERCE OF TIE COUSTRY.-
One of the most striking results OF the PFC.
sent year. is the diminished imports. Another
Is. the increase ofeXporis, and the fact that
the exports exceed the imports.
The imports this year are only SlO4,GO5.-
39l. Last year they were SlG2.O92,l32
and in 1886, the great year ofintlation, $780,
988.035. The exports during 1870 arc com
pu,cd at SI3I,57l,9jO. Last year they
were SI2l.O23.ll6; and in 1886. S1o7.6G3.-
o40. The Secretary of the Treasury states,
in his annual report, that such u %circun-
stance as the report. at all exceeding the i'm
ports has happened only six times since the
adoption of the constitution, and then never
TO an extent beyond about $4,000, OoO.-
Now, however, (says the report without any
imitation, and in some important articles IN,
der contraction of prices the excess of ex-
ports is not only more than ever known be-
fore. but quite three-fold greater, being
computed to equal S26,76G,O59.

SENSIBLE TOTIIE VERY LAST.

The ruling passion strong in death. We
have somewhere read ola hard case whom
his friends had tried every way TO break of
his confirmed habit of drinking. AS a last
experiment, they took him one night while
dead drunk, and placed him nicely away in
a coffin. In order to convince him still stron-
ger that he was dead and gone, a friend con-
scented to disguise and stow himself away in
another coffin close by. in order to watch
the effects and carry out. according 10 cir
cumstanceS, the serious joke. Having got
over his drunken nap. the hero of the story
raised himself slowly in his coffin the next
morning and looked around with no little
wonder. Seeing the other man in the same
bad fix. he shook his muddy head and rubbed
his eyes, and said:
'~llalio, StrlIiger, can't you give me an
item?
You? why, you're dead and buried

PLEDGE.-During the canvass for Presi.
dency, the Harrisonites promised much re-
form in the administration of the national az.
fairs, if the people would entrust them; they
have succeeded, and re a.e now to witness
in what manner they redeem their promises.
That they may not escape recollection, we
give a sample of them:
The expenses of the Government. being
extravagant. should be brought down to IS
millions of dollars, which they all say is E.
nough.
REMEMBER III PLEDGE:
That no man should be turned out Of Office
Tor opinions sake, TO give place 10 a political
friend.
REMEMBER THE PLEnGE:
That within six months after it was known
that Harrison was elected, money should be
plenty. and in general circulation.
THE PLEDGE:
That wheat should demand one dollar and 4
quarter i bushel; corn fifty cents; pork six
dollars, and olher articles OF agricultural
growth in proportion.
REMEMBER THE PLEDGE:
That the salaries OF members of Congress. and
all the officers of the Government being ex-
travagantIy high, and corrupting to the spirit
Of Democracy. should be o%reately reduced:
and that should be one Of their first reforms
IN coming into power.
REMEMBER THE PLEDGE:
That the people being ground down by high
burthcn too intolerable to he
horpc-would as soon as the people elected
Harrison. remove the weight OF oppression.
and unShackIe orr prosperity!
REMEMBER THE PLEDGE:
That general prosperity should smile upon
the land; distress should be a stranger to the
wars should be ended; general peace
for ever established.
The people will never forget these pledges;
enG the anxiety already evinced by those
confided in the promises, and the at
of those who made them avoid the res.
possibility if they fail, is an earnest of the
doom and the disgrace that fate has in wait
Ing for the Administration coming into power
by such Infamous means.

the Sun ora patent lever watch keep the

hat the watch was decidedly the best chro-
nometer, for simply by winding it up, it went

be seen at all at night, and no one could tell
how it went or whether it went at all. The
other argued that the reason why it was not
seen was very evident; the world. he said.
