'Ehiugs in America.

The following is part of an article in Black
woods Magazine for October:
America seems to have been reserved
as land of experiment for these latter
times-a vast field, in which all the less
ons essential to the prosperity OF Europe
may be exhibited to the eye OF nations.
The first lesson is given in It's agrlcul-
ture. The husbandman is shown 10 be
the true strength Of the country-lti is the
culture of the earth that the state falls back
upon in all its difficulties.
All the snowy expedients for fabrca-
ting wealth Of nothing, which are so iami-
liar in Europe, are there proved TO be fall
lacies on the largest scale Of demonstra-
ton. Trading without capital, and cur
rency without specie, are the two grand
charlatannries of the world. America
tries them both on larger scale than was
ever known before, and she is bankrupt
every half dozen years. The paper
coined by millions becomes not worth It's
weight in wind. Thousands are utterly
ruined, tens OF thousands are reduced TO
poverty. Yet she has such Il mine OF
wealth in the soil, such facilities OF reco-
very in the plough and the spade, such
endless storehouses of national wealth in
the forest, the prairie and the mountains,
that eventually the national ruin Is no
more felt than the peasant feels the moul-
dering of the leaves which fell in the last
autumn, and which are at that moment
preparing new fertility for the soil.
In 1871, it is said that at least two
thirds of the traders of the United States
became at once insovent. In 1897, near.
ly all the cotton growers. In 1899,
almost every bank in the leading cities
stopped in a moment. At this hour, we
hear nothing but cries of ruin, or what is
much more disgraceCul, impudent protes'
tations against paying any debt whatever
and base and insulting ridicule OF the
dupes IN Europe who could expect any
compensation for the money lent on tht
faith of America.
Yet all this passed by; men dis.rus
for while, and despise forever, but The
land again brings forth her produce; tht
strong husbandman props up the SKATER
ed merchant; the sale of lands recruit;
the empty treasury; the spirit Of the
market restores the activity of the coun
iing-house D.; and the state, like a sickly
patien. RECEIVERS by the diet Of the farm
or, like drowned suicide, is restored by
the rough rubbing of peasant hands
opens its eyes to be asionished at its owl
folly. and to be glad Of its escape; strug
giles for while against its old temptation
and finally enters the gaming house an,
is ruined again, only to undergo the SAM
process of recovery.

Ovid finely compares a broken fortune
to falling column; the lower it sinks,
the greater weight it is obliged to sustain.
Thus, when mans circumstances are
such, that he has no occasion to borrow,
he finds numbers willing to lend him; but
should his wants be such that he sues for
a trine, it is two to one whether he may
be trusted with the smallest sum.

The result shows that the democrats

that the wings are in the minority with

The whole numberof the members con-

choice of governor by the people, the
house sends . names to the senate, from
the four candidates having the highest
