The gold export is one of the effects, not the
cause Of the trouble. Gold goes abroad be-
cause it is worth more in England than here
just as -four, cotton and tobacco do. When gold
ceases to be worth more in London than it is
here, it will cease to be exported But whether
ii goes or remains, the effect will only be felt
by very small portion Of the country. The
real source of the suffering in the commercial
world lies far deeper.
Nor can that suffering be cured by any le-
gislative means, as simple people imagine.
Some folks think Congress should pass an act
to prevent bakers charging over certain
price for bread, or employers exacting so many
hours work out Of their workmen. The majority
Of mankind now see that such interierences in
the private relations Of man to man are inju-
rious to both parties, and in the long run must
be perfectly useless. So in the present trouble,
legislative enactments will only aggravate it.
1t. is far beyond the reach of tariffs Time
alone, and private failures, can bring it to IN
end. When half the unsound schemes that
have been started have wholly broken down,
and property and labor have found their natu-
raj level, commerce will revive. Till then,
those who advertise remedies for the evil are
nothing but quacks.

The Farmers Pest.

Weeds, it should be recollected, are al
ways more ezhausting to soil than either
roots or grain crops. They are indigen-
uous, consequently gross feeders, and ab-
.tract from the soil only those elements
Of fertility which are essentially and in
GispcnsaDly requisite to sustain the more
valuable and cultivated crops. Itshoula
ever be o rule with the farmer, to allow
no plant to perfect its seed on bis premi-
ses, that viii in any way, diminish the
proIuctiyeuess Of his soil. There are ma
nv weeds which, if cut close to the soil,
while in iu1oresence, inevitably die; and
others, II 50 treated, viii not start again
till the following year, or if they do, it
will be very feebly, and with so little Wig
or that they will effect but little injury,
comparatively speaking, and without any
possibility of producing seed. Mullen,
thist'es, burdocks and many other nox-
i3us productions of similar class, may
be eradictcd by placing teaspoonful Of
-a.t upon the stump of each plant after
cutting it. When these weeds are 'in
torce, We have frequently found it profit
able to SOW salt freely after moving, as
the ezuding fluids of the roots dissolve it
and ofcourse take a portion Of it into their
vessels, where it acts as a most efficient
destroyer. If field infested with this
ties be moved when the thistles are in full
bloom, and salt, say two bushels to the a.
Gre, be sowed upon the stumps, and sheep
be permitted 10 Craze upon the enclosure,
it is said the thistles will be at once de-
stroyod. This is perhaps a more econom-
ical method Of eradiction, than removing
tlc plants by the roots, which is tedious,
expensive and but seldom efectual.--
