THE EXCHEQUER

The Age in commenting on Mr.. Cushngs plan of
an Exchequer remarks;
All the objections against locking up the public
treasure, and against securing currency for the
Government and another for the people, by insurng
to the officers of Government their pay specie and
leaving the people to get such pay they can exist
against this plan, which existed against the Indepen-
dent Treasury.
Very far from it. The Sub-Treasury simply pro-
vided for collecting the public revenues in specie,
and locking them up. 1t was carrying into effect the
new doctrine, advanced for the first time in 1897,
that the Federal Government should abandon all
and control over the currency other than the stamp
ing OF coin, and leave the people to take of
themselves - leave the States to provide paper me-
dunn of circulation and exchange The proposed
Exchequer does indeed provide for locking up OF spe-
Gle, but at the same time it authorizes the issuing Of
paper circulation in place orat specie and to be re-
deemed by it,. And what is Of more Importance per
haps, it provides safe and cheap medium of ex-
changes from extremity of the Union to another
The Sub-Treasury did neither Both have a similar
effect in restraining and checking the issues of the
local banks; and this is we'll But the operation Of
the two systems will be widely different Besides,
this plan is based upon the implied obligation that the
Federal Government is bound to provide currency
for the country. The Sub-Treasury rests upon de-
NAL Of that obligation

Crops and Markets.

Throughout the whole country the crops
Of wheat and grass are represented as
most abundant and fine. There are some
small complaints of rust in some places, as
indeed there always will be, bat they are
of little moment; and a finer season for
harvesting never was known. 1t has been
almost uneXampIed,
Indian corn, likewise. which at first
seemed hke v to fail, is making rapid adj
vances, and promise a good crop. The
same with potatoes, barley, and all other
products.
The crops of wheat in Ohio and Michi-
gan are likewise as good as was ever
known. The price Of wheat in Roches-
ter can hardly be considered as settled or
even fixed. as no new wheat has yet come
into the market. Some milers have eX-
pressed the opinion that it will begin at Il
dollar but soon go down to 10 cents.
The Beef and Pork markets at New
York and Boston remain without material
change. Probably much smaller guam
tity Of pork will be made this season than
usual, and the prices for pork or for live
hogs are not likely TO recedc from their
present position.
Woods Of fine grade command only %
cents; and in many cases only half Of this
is paid in cash, and the rest in cloths
The free Importation Of South American
wool costing less than s cents, and the
raising Of wool ON the Western Prairics,
for which there are large preparations,
must keep prices down, tariff or no tariff.
In the midst of the greatest plenty that
ever fell to the lot of any country, we are
crying our eyes out for distress; and the
National COW, with a swimming pail OF
milk under her, seems determined TO kick

HARD TINES.

We learn from the New Era, at ST..
Louis, that hay is selling at 25 cents Per
hundred, wheat is taken slowly at about
40 cents, and will be much lower. Chick
ems arc offered at 4 cents piece in market,
and then payment is made in 10 cent
pieces, passing for l2l cents. Wood is
81 80 a 2,25 per cord. Every thing else
bears the same relative proportion. The
merchants are doing nothing. Mechanics
are out Of cmpIoy-without money-with
families dependent on them for support
and where employment is had, they are
working at greatly reduced rates. Labor
crs are SO plenty that employment cannot
be furnished to them-and we saw, in one
group, a week since, three hale hearty men
begging for bread, they were forced to Go
it, they said, for they could not get work.

to those who work; and even those prices
will lot continue long, for all business
which gives employment TO them, must
