INDEPENDENT TREASURY War Upon Banks.
William Duane Morgan, who has just been O.
iected Auditor of State is out in iavor of the In
dependent Treasury System for Ohio, and his prop.
osition is endorsed by the editor OF the Statesman.
The reader will remember that one of the main
features of this system is the requsiton that all
monies, paid into the State Treasury, in the way
of taxes or from other sources, shall be paid in
gold and silver, This is an indication that war
will be commenced upon the banking systom of
Ohio, and Is only carrying out the pledges made
by the Radicals to the people OF the State during
several of the recent elections. Whether tho
proposition of Mr.. Morgan, who Of course will re.
commend system of this kind 10 tho Legislature
of Ohio, will be adopted or not, it is quite certain
that such a course is required in order that that
body may act consistently with the pledges made
upon the stump and through the press. by the or
ators and writers of the party which is so largely
in the majority.
We know very we'll that men who are largely
interested in Banks and others who are strongly in
favor fupholding the present system in this State
have persisted in voting for the men who are
pledged to destroy them the first opportunity, un
der the delusiOn that Radcalism was only hum
bugging the people, aud still declare that it dare
not adopt the bard.money systenl-to these two
classes of persons, and especially the first, should
now be given the task of defending the BaukinS
Institutions of the State, and should they fail in
the attempt twill doubtless be pleasing refcc.
ton that they might have acted wiser and bet.
ter part by participating with that party who re-
gard the true interests of the State and people
more than power which is obtained by appeals to
.reiudice.

Difference in IavOr OF American rails54 cts.
In addition to this we must make proper al.
lowance for the labor of replacing the bars, and
for the greater wear of machinery running over
constantly failing rails, items which will increase
the advantage ofthe good iron at least so per cent
on the 80 cents per ton per aunum, and CORES
pondingly enhance the advantage resulting from
the employment of American rails Thus it
would seem that the dividend paying capacity of
railroad is the same with English iron at $40
ton. as with American Mt $531 per ton; or in 9TH
er words, it gives American iron an advantage of
l3i pcr ton in quality; and any process of Legis-
latio1 that would favor the employment of Amer.
add to the first cost OF the road, would not
increase but diminish its permanent expenditure.

ot tie FIRST three years wear of the Ph9nixv,lle

terms are on the loaded -coal-car track.
The As lbs. rail is composed Of double refined
English E. V. iron,' and, from several indications
has lost much of it's original strength by years
use under heavy trade; yet it compares hvuruby
with the So lbs. rail, lately manufactured and
brought TO this country; notwithstanding the sl.

experience can only be accounted for by the infe
rior quality of the metal used in its manufacture
The So lbs English rail is also very good Eng
