some more judicious legislation than has for some

II Is how almost beyond the power Of false and
foolish laws 10 prevent lhis being rich country as
whole though by them the mass may bc kept poor
and the government in debt We infer what We
have saul from facts Of daily occurrence, aud daily
notice The shipments of produce last year were
immense, while the imports were reduced, even In
The last quarter oC last year no less than twenty
millions The result Is, that every vessel that
arrives from abroad is laden with specie, which i
accumulaling ia the hands Of the eastern banks and
capitalists. We do not feel this fuvOrahy a. yet.

Iic feeling upon the subject Of banking and the fear
and over caution OF capitalists generated by reccn,
unfortunate operations. No man wants To borrow
tor investment beyond The most ordinary business
These causes combined, make money oppressivey

national wealth, they have been doing f,r the
past year. This very state Of suffering has given
the United States once more mastery over Europe
All our purchases are American and tho specie
not borrowed, but Tie payment for produce b.
slow and safe channels being tho COR produce
and western manufactures after eastern debt Is
paid, this specie will work westward, and enter into
all the avenues Of trade. Then banks will not be
afraid to loan, prices will go up larger ard larger
investments will follow until five years will, with
IudIcious legislation, place where we were in
30-3l, but with0ur it, another explosion Ii thai
uf 1897 Will follow. A system Of banking must be
established that will prevent over issues S,aIe
institutions are probably next in value 10 a United
States bank for the purpose Of a check aud these
should be guarded with walchful eve. This,
together with protective tariff rising with the
increase Of currency, will accomplish the objecl
