notwithstanding the political tone Of al
most everything in the shape Of newspa-
pcrs, now days,,hc HtrrGrics aud Magazine
publishers still continue to keep the world
apprised Of their industry, and Consequent
y, usefulness, by their regular issues -
And on the whole, we think this month
has opened quite as rich as any Of its pre-
decessors, in the way of publications.
GRAHAM's contains four fine embelsh-
ments, two Of whch-"THE DEPARTURE

The reading matter is as usual a choice
variety from the pens Of our best prose and
poetry writer's.

know it never contains ANYTHING but Wha,
is good.
The LADIES NATIONAL is all that Mrs
Ann S. Stephens can make it, which is
enough for any Magazine.
lloLDEN's DOLLAR MAGAZINE is, to US,
the most readable thing extant It's re-
views and criticisms are Of the first order
altho' we cannot agree with the reviewer

Windsor, Aug, |, 1913.
To THE EDITOR OF THE AGE:-An Extra
Vermont Journal has been issued, contain
ing the reply of Samuel II. Price, Esq, to
an article in your paper, headed the Bolt
ers. | should not consider it to be the
duty of any democrat to notice this reply,
was it not designed to convey false i'm
preston.
Mr. Price says majority Of the Caucus
at which he was appointed delegate to
the Montpelier convention, certainly knew
that he was opposed TO the nomination of
Mr. Cas-, &C., and that notwithstanding
all this, he was selected first on the list Of
delegates to The Montpelier convention, by
a unanimous vote.
That he (Mr PRICE, did not like the
nomination of Mr. Cass, know. aud pre-
sumo, a majority in that caucus knew it,
but tina, ma jority Of that caucus believed
Mr. Price was in favor Of the election of
Lewis Casa, | can prove. Aud further
more he was selected by a majority Cat
least Of the caucus, to aid in the election
Of Mr. Cass.
Does Mr. Price think he can make dem
oCrals believe he was selected delegate to
the state convention, for the purpose Of
boiling its proceedings That open and
avowcd friends of the election of Gen.
Cass, appointed him first on The list, know.
ms that he was opposed to his (Cass' }
election and would vote agains him?
Nj Price saws in his Vermont Journal,
Extra, that he has left the party. Had he
informed the caucus of that fact, does he

although there were but seven persons
(includng himself al the caucus which
selected him, aud one of them not voter
in the town. If his boiling intentions had
been known, he would not have received
but one rott in that caucus.
II he did not belong to the party, what
business had he to take part in its deliber-
atlons, and accept of its confidence, only
to beiray his trust.
Is that consistency He talks about
consistency Is it conssten, for Free
Soil advocate, to aid in elec,ing a slave,
holder, (for every democrat who casts
vote for Nj. Van Buren,, aids in the cleo
ton of Taylor a Louisianian Shareholder,
born and educated amidst its influences.
Is he opposed TO the extension of slavery?
Is he opposed TO anything, or in favor of
anything, except being the leader Of fac.

TaylOr will Sweep the South"

One Of the many foolish ieasons urged
by the faction Of the wing party, that sup
ports Gen. Taylor at the north, was, that
che would sweep the South" How much
truth there might have been in this, had
he remained the Independent, candidate,
we are unable 10 say, but his nomination
by Wing National Convention dispellcd
the charm Of the catch.word-"lhe peo-
pies candidate"--and the parties are re-
sumlng their old channels. Ahho' "the
old cat rolled herself thoroughly in meal"
and chung suspended by her heels" like
Esops' cat, in the fable, yet the "mice"

be seen in another column-and we trust
the democracy of this distrc, will see to
it, that full delegation is chosen and in
attendance when the time arrives. 1t is
of the utmost Importance that the conven.

"a word TO the wise" should be sufficient.

According to the present amount of banking capital
of the State the banks legally entitled crcu-
aton of S13OS957 exclusive of deposits md as these
ordinarily run, it might be increased nearly two
millions more, which would make aggregate crcu-
lation of fifteen millions Of dollars The crc ulation
however, rarely exceeds four millions and half and
long the system of par redemption is sustained
(Which in conjunction with the bank commissioners
of Connecticut hope will be abandoned) few if
any, of the banks keep out but small portion of
their legally authorized circulation The commits
oners in their report state that the system of par
demptions perfected by the Suffolk Bank of Boston, is
complete regulator Of the circulation Of all the New
England banks and II it not for this check there
would be great danger of undue expansion of bank
credit. Frequent redemptions, and the rapid cohmu-
ncation between different parts of the country pre-
any greater circulation than the natural business
wants of that section will sustain.
There has been, from time to time, a demand
for issue Of banking capital in Connecticut;
but that demand has not been supplied, as it is
pretty generally known that, If the present ope-
ratons of the banks confined strictly to the
wants of the people Of the State, every interest
would be supplied and the existing capital would be
found sufficient There would be deficiency of
bank capital, and the citizens OF Connecticut would
not be obliged to go into other States obtain
sary accommodations If the banks would confne
themselves to their legitimate business but such is not
the case Merchants in this city and in Boston de-
pend, more less, upon the country banks for loans
and discounts, and portion Of the bank capital Of
each New England State is diverted in t.is way from
those for whom 1t intended when chartered by the
Legislature. This however is not evil further than
that the people Of the State compelled go abroad
for bank facilities and creates impression that the
banking capital of the State is deficient which is not
the case.
The commissioners state that the affairs of the
Quinncbaug Bank were in such confused condition
that it wal impossible to tell anything about Its posi-
ton They had prevented the bank declaring divi-
dcnd until satisfactory exhibit made of its sf
fairs There is doubt but that the bank is solvent;
and the report made show that II will be in
dtion to resume the payment of dividends.
