He has, it is true, small house with one roow

and bis wife always appear cheerful and con-
tented, and preserve respectable appearance

1t costs him sum six times az large as the

We know them both very well, and we think
our Michigan friend by far the happiest, heal
thiest, and most envable man. They are both
advanced in years. The cheapness of books
and papers place abundance of rational enjoy

Rum AND ITS WoRKs.-HENRY ID. GARRr-
SON has just closed his career in the streets of
Milwaukee the victim of Rum He had been
confined in the Hospital ofihe Sisters of Char
ity, but broke loose and rushed into the streets
while suffering from delirimm tremens, and was
not found until dead. Mr. GARRISON is un-
doubtedly known to many of our citizens He
was once prominent and successful merchant
in Detroit then proprietor of the Detroit Ma
tional Hotel in which business he failed. He
then wont to Chicago where he kept the Lake
House for some time. In 1850 he went to
Milwaukee and became one of the proprietors
of the City Hotel, where he remained only a
bout eight months. He was man of excel
lent business capacity, until his mind became
impaired by the excessive use of strong drinks.
At ono timo he was worth largo property,
and reverse of fortune is said to have caused
him to take to drinking. He leaves highly
estimated family, residing in Allegan, Mich,
to mourn his sad end.-[Bufalo Express.

tho 2criod Of the Importation of gold from lS-
| 80 to 1885, while with every diminution he is
more and moro compelled to forco IL on the
market, as was shown in the period from 1889
to lS42, in which latter year cotton for the
first time touched six cents per pound; and
this they will do in the hope that by sacrific-
ing the interests of the whole Union, them
selves included, they may perhaps prevent the
annexation OF the Canadas. The scarcity OF
money is even now forcing down the price Of
cotton, and yet they are ready to vote for any
and every measure tending to render it still
moro scarce. .
France owns no gold mines, but money is
cheap, because she pursues policy tending
to produce importation add retention of gold.
So it is with Germany and other parts OF Con-
tinental Europe. We own California and
should have money cheap, yot il is almost un-
attainable because our every movement tends
toward tho expulsion of its product; and so far
from taking warning by the past we are daily
contrveing means for forcing it out still moro
rapidly. We have just agreed to export ten
millions to pay the Mcsila Valley, and shall
probably agree to pay over two hundred mil
lions for the purchase of Cuba, all Of which,
may, if Spain please, DO at once demanded in
gold, for stocks can always be sold'if tho price
bo sufficiently low. and the seller can take
gold if he desire it. If our representatives in
Washington desire still further to promote the
interests Of the monoy-lender at the expense
of the whole community, nothing better could
be devised, unless, perhaps the ratification of
the Reciprocity treaty--so called-with Cana :
da. Each ofthese measures will tend to aug
ment tho export and raise the price of money,
and that object will be still moro effectually at
tanned by the adoption of the Ways and
Means report on the tariff, and Vinton, Ash
nun & Cos project in regard to railroad iron.
Every step in the direction that is called free
trade tends toward lowering the dam that
now in some dogroe restrains the export of
corn, and toward an increase in the ratio of
interest; but how that is to benefit the mon
who have cotton to sell or roads to make, 1t
would require political economists as clover
as are our neighbors of The Jonrnal to diseov-
er Nothing short Of absolute insanity could,
as we think, prevent our legislators from seeing
that whatever tends to diminish the quantity
of money must tend to increase its price and
to diminish the prices Of land, roads. bonds,
cotton and wheat and their votes seem always
ready for any measure looking in that direc-
ton. Such being tho case we would suggest
the passing of the Treaty and all other of these
measures in single bill, to be entitled
can act for increasing the existing scarcity
of money and for enabling the money lender
to enrich himself at the cost of all who have
lands, houses, labor or commodities to sell, or
roads to make, and for tho postponing the
making of several roads until after the next
revolution"

From the New York Tribune.
HOW TO RENDER MONEY sCARCER.

In illustration of tho view hitherto presented
in our columns, of the effect resulting from
policy tending to produce an increase In the
quantity of the medium of exchange, wo now
propose to lay before our readers some facts
In relation to the past thirty years that may
perhaps assist them in arriving at the conclu
sion that what is beneficial to dividuas, con-
sidered separately, can scarcely fail to be so in
reference to those individuals when regarded
as community. Among all our readers thore
is not single one when money is coming in
faster than it is going out, he is becoming dai-
ly more independent and better able to hold
the products of his labor until those who re-
quire them shall be able to pay the prico to
which he thinks he is entitled and the faster
money comes in, the moro independent and
secure he foes himself to be. Mother is there
one of them who does not find that when tho
demands are greater than tho supplies, tho re-
verse effect is produced, and that from day 10
day he is compelled 10 sell his labor or his
property more cheaply, with constant increase
in his dependence on the money lender. Now,
nations arc but collections of individuals, and
what is true Of each one considered separately
must bo equally SO Of all considered together;
and nations should be stronger and more IN
dependent whenever money is coming in than
when it is flowing out Nevertheless, if we
study The Journal Of Commerce or any other
of the Representatives of British free trade,
we find that, of all tho things to bo imported,
the least important and the loast to be desired
is gold and silver; and, of all that can be ex-
ported, there is none with which wo may moro
advantageousy part 1t is quite unimportant,
as thoy tell us, how much money is at COM
mand, or how little. Ifit is much, all prices
will be high, and if little, all will be low; and
as labor, food, cloth, iron and other commodi-
ties will thus accommodate themselves to each
other. no injury can result from dccrese nor
benefit from increase of tho quantity. This is
the doctrine of tho money changer and the
borrower. 1t is the doctrine that has made
Rotbschild rich, and now enables him to con-
troll the destnes of Europe, while destroying
by famine and pcstilence the people of Ireland
and India; and that It is SO, the following facts
will tend to prove:
In the course Of trade with the world we
have sometimes been large importers of proc
ious metals, and at others large exporters, as
will be seen by the following brief table:

Nor ASHAMED OF THEIR TRADEs.-Hon. W.
W. Pepper, one of the Circuit Judges of Ten
nesee, was formerlya blacksmith, and "for tho
fun of it" he lately made, with his own hands,
an iron fre-shovel, which he presented to the
Governor, Hon. Andrew johnson. In return,
Gov johnson, whe was formerly tailor, cut
and made with his own hands coat, and preso-
nted it to the Judge. A good tailor is better
than a poor Governor, and if sandy Johnson"
as he was called in Congress, was an expert
fashioner, he made an unwise choice in aban-
doning the shopboard for the Executive chair
of Tennesee.
