one-thrd the value of the crop. Now, in eithel
Of these cases, if the value of money is disturbed
by unnatural causes-in other words, If It is made
more plenty or more than 1t naturally should
be-one party or the other must suffer. While, il
the price is left to be regulated by supply and de.
mand it will, on an average, prove fair price to
both parties. It is easy to discover that if YOU
agree to pay cash rent and in consequence of an
unnatural scarcity of money prices DECLINE, you
will be compelled to sell more than one-third of
your crop to pay your rent; and in like manner, in
case you are the landlord if from any cause there
is an unnatural increase of money, the amount you
receive for rent will not purchase one third of your
tenants crop.
If the currency could be increased, and perma-
nently remain increased, the price of every thing
would rise. and it would prove of no advantage to
any body, unless it may be an advantage to handle
three dollars to buy what is now bought for two
These are principles that would seem to admit
of no dispute; 'but.' says the banker, regulate
the currency Well, let US see how you do it.
The proper amount is in the country, or will soon
flow into it, or if it does not, the business of the
country will soon accommodate itselfto what is in
and what will soon flowin. Now, you set up your
bank in order 10 increase the available means of
the community. You absorb large portion ofspe-
Gle, and fill up the void with larger amount of
bank notes. So long as money is pie nty, and no
demand for coin, you have plenty of money
Enthusiastically to lend; but so soon as money
real cash) becomes scarce, and you are ne eded to
advance, you will not it. Why! Because you
have no money to advance land credit (bank notes)
will not answer, as they will Immediately come
back for coin or exchange. What is this different
from an ice merchant, who always has a stock in
January, but none in July? In January he pays
the hard, and in July, gives Gf any thin g cert
hcate payabl in January. You make money TOO
cheap by introducing the shadow for the sub
stance, and the land lord suffers; you then, by ex
changing the shadow for the substance, send out
OF the country portion Oft cash 10 points where
your promises will not pass for cash, and thus, by
making money too dear, you do injustice to the
tenant. Nor is this all. You keep the price Of
every thi ng luttering and flucuatng by the unns-
tural rue of a bank price-current, influenced by
: the state of the money market, as indicated by
bank reports.
Are you not now satisfied that permanent addi.
ton to the circulating medium benefits nobody land
That temporary addition will always injure some
6Ody3 Ofwhat advantage, then, is the increase
afforded by the banks, except to put money into the
pockets of bankers in the shape of interest for the
use Of their credit? A. c. d.

s19th-Perpetuities OF inonopoljes are contrary
70 the genius of free government, and shall never
be allowed; nor shall the law OF primogeniture Of
entallment ever be in force in this State
In the Executive Department the lst section
says that The supreme executive power of this
State shall be vested in Chief Magistrate, who
shall be styled Governor of the State OF Texas.
SEC. 4-The Governor shall hold his office for
the term of four years from the time Of his install
laon, and until his successor shall be duly quail
fed, but shall not be eligible for more than four
years in any term of eight years. he shall be at least
thirty years of age, shall be native citizen of the
United States or citizen of the State of Texas at
the time of the adoption of this Constitution.
The 9th section of that part of the Constitution
having reference to the Judiciary department of
the State is as follows:
The Governor shall nominate, and, by and with
the advice and consent oil two-thirds of the Senate,
shall appoint the Judges OF the Supreme and District
Courts.
The editor Of the Civilian is of the opinion that
this section will become law, thus taking the elec-
ton of the judges from the hands of the people.
The LIST section of the Legislative Department
provides that every free white male citizen Of the
year preceding election, and the last six months
in the county or town in which he offers to vote,
shall be qualified elector. Indians not taxed ,and
Africans and descendants of Africans excepted.
No minister of the gospel or priest shall be
member of the General Assembly.
The first election TO be held on the first Monday
and the following day in November, 1916, and the
election shall be held on the same days in Novem-
Der every two years thereafter. s. ..
We have given as many of the features of the
Constitution Of the new State as we can find room
for-the entire document would occupy some four
or five columns of our paper. The Civilian says
that titappears TO be understood that amaority Of
the members Of the Convention are in favor oil in
serting clause in the Constitution to prevent
banks .
On the fronte, of Texas all would appear quiet
I'VE see no account of Indian disturbances in any
quarter. -2 Il
