To all topers we would say,
From liquor, liquor come away,
And join our noble, temp'rance cause,
For we are truly the bo-hoys,
J Then come along all, do not stay,
From liquor come, o come away!
Drinking is beasily vice,
And will its victim sacrifice;
Slarve both wife and children sure,
And keep its votary always poor.
Then come along all, do not stay,
From liquor come, o come away!
Liquor has its millions slain,
/ And millions also made insane,
Both young and old hath felt its force
OF fell destruction Ills the source.
Then come along all, do not say,
From liquor come, o come away
On we're marching TO our goal,
And soon we'll reach from pole to pole,
Spread o'er the earth we'll loudly ball,
We've triumphed over Alcohol
Then come along all, do not stay,
From liquor come, 0 come away!
We invite, the pledge to sign,
All who do that way incline;

Supported by cold water boys.

sand dollars less in lS48 than in IS45.-
While the Massachusetts banks have about
twelve millions of dollars OH deposite, and
those Of Pennsylvania about the same, New
York banks hold thirty millions of dollars
A large portion of these deposits consists of
government funds, which forms basis with
the banks for paper issues and loans. They
now, when the reaction of undue expansion
is about setting in against them, cry out
most Justify against the sub-treasury, and
will electonoer against its passage with oil
the influence in their power. The State
banks which have expanded the most are
found in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Virginia, and Indiana Those that have
expanded least are Tennessee, Kentucky,
New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina,
(according to popoulaton and business)-
This State has Increased her specie capital
greater than her loans, and New Jersey
also.
From all can learn of the sentiments of
business men in this community, they have
not the least objection to the passage of The
snb.trea sury bill, provided, in going into eff
feet, it be made somewhat gradual. They
arc afraid of violent or sudden changes, op-
Grating unfavorable on business. They say
ifit is passed, three other measures ought
also 10 be adopted at the same time; two be-
ing necessary accompaniments of the sub
treasury, and which would give it whole
some Influence.
/. The sub-treasury.
2. Auxiliaries-branch mints in Now York
and st. Louis.
3. The warehousing system on fair and
liberal footing.
4. A revenue tariff.
These are all important demecraic meas
uros, and the people expect their represent
atives to carry them out in good faith, and
without unreasonable delay.

$2,5Oo,000 per month, consequently at least
$7,50O,000 will be expended In that ,hree
months, viz: from July to October, the rev.
enucs are always the smallest. In August,
1912, they amounted only TO few hundred
thousand dollars. Hence the accumulation
of specie during the process of disbursing
the surplus, will be much less than would
be the case at any other season of the year.
We believe, as far as our information ex-
tends, that if some provision were made by
which the present surplus could be disposed
ofby payment of the government debt at its
presen, value, and by so doing saving a
heavy charge per annum 10 the Treasury,
that the law as it stands would meet the ap-
proval of the whole mercantile community.

THE INDEPENDENT TREASURY.

This important measure continues TO at
tract generally attention, and yesterday oc-
cupied a committee of the Chamber of Com
merce on the subject. We understand tha,
report will be made in few days. As a
general principle recognized among COM
melclal men, without distinction of party,
we believe the necessity of complete sep
aration of the government funds from bank
ing transactions is universally acknowledged.
The evils that have grown out of the present
system are too obvious and too frequently
encountered TO be disputed. The objections
that have been urged against the new law
are rather in relation to the manner of put
ting it into operation, than from any appre-
henslon of its evil influence when once in
operation. Onthe other had, IFS influence
in promoting steadiness in the currency, is
fully recognized. One of the chief arrange
ments in favor of a National Bank was its
regulating power. This regulation was eff
iected through lis prompt demand in specie
for balances due to any of its brances by
surrouding institutions within the sphere of
its action. This regulation was good as far
as it went, but unfortunately there was no
regulator for the head monster. The bal
ances due it by other banks must necessari-
ly be proportioned to its own expansion
When it pushed out its own credits the same
movement was followed by the other banks
without endangering all increased balance
against them. Now the Independent Treas
ury possesses precisely this regulating pow
en- without any entrance for expansion its
elf. The revenues of the government will
be drawn in specie from each bank prorata
according 10 the proportion of duties paid by
the customers of each institution. This spe-
Gle will flow through the Treasury into gen
eral circulation. 1t will not diminish the
currency one shilling, but it will prevent an
unhealthy increase Of it. And the twaddle
about weighing counting, caring, wheel bar
rows, Sc, is all humbug. When the Bank
of America has balances against other
banks it draws the specie promptly and cas-.
| lily. The trouble of counting, carting, &c.
does not prevent the movement of dollar
The Treasury Clerks will not be more afraid
of work than bank clerks, nor will the pub
lie creditors grumble much at getting gold
for their pay.
II is nevertheless true that the transfer o.
the present surplus. ii 100000 fiom the de-
positaries where it has accumulated through
the follies of the Wing Legislature of lS4l
when the law now 10 be renewed was repeal
ed, without the enactment of subs titute
and a revenue tariff suddenly imposed will
be matter ofserious inconvenience. The
law provides that after June 80 all revenues
shall be collected in specie, and after Octo
ber all payments shall be made in specie
This allows three months for the dsburse
ment of the surplus now on hand in sucl
funds as the banks will pay out The cur
rent expenses Of the government arc abou

Thus we find the banks in this State, the
principal seat of New England manufactures,
and chiefly between lst November, 1915,
and the month of January, 1916 increased
their loans nearly three millions of dollars,
while their specie basis diminished to over
Sl, 100000. This statement offacts clear
" proves what asserted yesterday, that the
New England banks, and especially those
of Boston we're in no condition TO stand a
sudden demand for specie, and that revo-
luton might be anticipated among the man
ufacturers themselves which would be al
tributed to the reduction of the tariff.
Taking the 4l2 banks into account, we
find their loans in January, 1916, had in
creased over those of lS45 by $26,963,774,
while the aggregate specie capital diminish
ed from $39, ,229,356; in lS45, TO $35, 5,O6l,-
s6l; in 1916, leaving decrease of $4, 4,l67,-
1876. In 1912, the year war was declared,
the New England States mad six dollars of
paper liabilities for one in specie. They now
have eight for one.
Pennsylvania has increased her loans, from
ls45 10 1916, from about 1926, 100000 to
S27, ,000, ,OO0, ,and dimin ished her specie from
81 900 to $4,000. This is also manufac-
turing State. New York, in the same time,
increased her loans from about $73, 100000
to $74, $50, ,435 whereas her specie amounts
to from eight to nine millions of dollars, and
varies in amount only few hundred thou

"Oniska has long blessed you, dear Harry

The lids dropped over the eyes of the

that fearful dream!"
"Oniska will never leave Harry till the
Great Master of Life shall bid her." She
laid her cheek on the forehead of Sydney.

Oniska fulfilled her promise 10 the dying,

broker in New York by the name of Thomp-
son, in reference to the soundness of the
Ohio banks We should like very much TO
know how this shark knows any thing about
the condition of the Ohio wildcat banks.
The people here know that their notes are
worth one and two per cent. less than gold
and silver; and, knowing this. they beg leave
to tell Mr.. Thompson that if he will attend
to the shaving shops at home, he will probably
have enough TO do. We imagine that he
would have said as much for Gallipolis, Ur-
bana, or Granville, one month before they
broke, if the banks had requested it, and
offered the necessary inducement. 1t would
no doubt be fine harvest for the bankers
and brokers, if they could, by putting each
other, get few millions of their rags into
the hands of the people, and then burst,
banklikc, and leave the people with The notes
in their hands, to become prey for the agents
sent abou, by the banks to buy UP their own
paper at quarter or one half their face

your testimony for an object so laudable!--

BANK CAr1TAL.-Is capital invested in
banking taxed under the new!tax law? This
question is frequently asked of late, particu-
larry, as some of the whig presses hold out
the delusion that it is. Capital invested in
banking snot taxed at all. but the profits
are taxed, if the officers see proper to de-
clare any dividend after taking out their en-
ermous salaries. Such as the actual state
of the case, that while farmers and mechan-
les pay tax on their capital invested whether
they make or lose, the profits only Of bank
ers are taxed This is equal ity with ven-

HOW THE POT METAL WORKS.

The following is a beautiful commentary
on the benefits and profits of banking. The
State of louisiana, whose constitution re-
cognizes no banks, reducing her public debt
yearly, and has some half million of surplus;
while Ohio, with her batch of rag manufac-
tories and federal shaving shops is increasing
her debt about one million per year. Had
we few more banks we would despair of
ever Icing able to liquidate the enormous LA
bilhy Of the state:
The hard money state of Louisina has re-
duced its debt the past year, $2,S50,6S5-
She has now a surplus of a half million
This under the present prosperous state of
things, will be increased during the present
year. Ohio has over 80 new banks State
debt ,00O-increased during the
last year about 81, 100000. With the new
State house, we may expect $l,500,0G0
more; not to say any thing about the banks.
Money, to pay the interest the State debt
of Ohio, mast be borrowed, another item of
which she may feel proud! o, Federalism
o, Paper money!
But this is not ALL Look at the present
condition of Mississippi, 4 state without
banks, and whose Governor, in his late mes
sage, recommended that the Constitution
be so amended as TO prohibit the incorpor-
ton of any and all banks. The Treasury
in his late annual report to the Legislature
says:
81 take much pleasure in announcing to
you, that am cashing all warrants present
ed at this office, and it is believed that there
will remain in The Treasury, by the lst Of
March, between one and two hundred thou
sand dollars in specie, if the sherills should
meet my expectation; therefore ask the
Legislature TO provide for me, at an early
period, fire poof vault for its safe keep
ing"
This is entirely too bad. Cannot some
thing be done TO prevent those "hard-mon
ey," spot metal" destructive loco(oco:
from filing the Stale Treasury with the
pure metals, instead Of worthless, rotten an(
deprecated shinplasters. Surely, should
such an occurrence happen in Ohio, ou
Lunaic Asylum would prove insufficient tc
contain one-half of the crazed and distracted
wings of the State, which such a runous
event would produce Western Dominion.
