The yyeather--The Grain.

The weather has, since the commence
ment of the New Year, and until within
the last few days, been very unsettled and
disagreeable, but highly favorable to the
growth OF the grain crop. The changes
from sunshine TO clouds, and from clouds
to drizzling rains, have been frequent,
which, with the mild temperature which
has been prevailing. has had happy eff
feet upon the growing grain. causing it to
strike lis roots firmly and deeply in the
ground, and imparting TO i, vigorous and
healthy appearance.

The credit System.

Much has been said lately against thu
Credit System of the country, as being
the bane of all business, and the fruitful
source of the distress which now pervade:
the cities and portions of the country
We are not The advocate of an indiscrlmi'
nate credit, but il is fact well known &c
the commercial world, that almost the
entire commerce Of ihe country, amount
ING to millions Of dollars, is carried on
upon the credit system, so that the aboll-
ton Of the system instead of promoting
would destroy trade. We should look al
facts as they are. The distress in the
cities is caused by the failure OF Banks
and large trading establishments, which,
taking advantage of the increased amount
of paper currency with which the coun-
try has been Aooded within the past few
years, caused overtradlng, which has been
ruinous to those concerned while the
withdrawal of this amount of money from
circulation and the consequent losses by
individuals who entered largely into the
speculative schemes of the day, has been
the cause of their ruin; thus showing that
revulsons in trade must and will take
place, notwithstanding the artificial value
given to property by redundant crcula-
ton. In our own State the Banking cap
ital has been largely increased within the
past three years-money has been plenty,
and business brisk, but the failure of some
Banks, and the demand for money al
home, owing 10 individual indebtedness,
has caused our own Banks to curtail-
this has operated seriously against those
who found themselves indebted to the
Banks, or TO individuals who were urg nas
their claims TO liquidation.
Precisely this state of things occurred
in lsl9-again in 1886, and now again,
in 1855. These periods seem to be about
equi-distant, aud nov as then, the conse-
auences are the same, because like causes
produce like results, and overtradlng has
been the cause. The channels of trade
clear Reconsideration prices are infla'
ted, decline in price is inevitable.
These, we apprehend, will be founc
the cause of the eight times" but wher
the pressure is over, it will be better fo'
the country--,here will be less indebted
ness and the people will be more cautious
how they contract liabilities which they
may not be able to meet.
Certainly, it would be better for all, i
more CASH and less CREDIT were used
and men must resort 10 the cash system
if they expect to avoid "hard times.
An iadiscriminate credit system is curse
to any country and the ruin of its popula
tion--interest. and perhaps costs, eating
up their substance and adding TO thel
toll. With such results as the past histo
ry of the country affords, salutary les
son is taught the people to avoid overtra
ding which is the prolific source of thu
present "hard times" while at the same
time they should practise economy ant
avoid running INFO debt. Adopt the casf
system, as far as possible, and the "hart
times" will soon be felt no more.

WAR pRorEcrIvE TARIFF WOULD
po,-An intelligent correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, writing upon the evils
Of free trade and the benefits that would
accure from Protective Tariff, says
We nigh. by an efficient protective
policy, add at least $4,000, 900 per an,
mum 10 the wealth of the country, instead
Of losing. as we do, s25, 100000. A dit,
ference of S75,0OO,O00 could easily he
effected and cur money kept at home,
We should be immense gamers Ii we conlo
keep on, everything that we can MAKE
and we might then admit lea ,coliee, wines
&C., free of duty. Suppose that then our
revenue would fall short, we could well
afford direct taxation, and much better
afford to raise double the present revenue
than we can now afford the direct pay
ment of what is necessary for the expenses
of government, or we might raise our rev.
enue from those articles and others thai
we do not and cannot produce. II we
were not people who, as MIR. Barnum
says, delight in certain amount OF num-
bug, and rather prefer it in some cases,
though half conscious OF it, we should
have adopted such policy long ago, and
not waited till we were owing some S2OO,-
600, 900 TO Great Britain, or until gen.
eral crash among ourselves should open
our eyes to the suicidal policy OF free
trade. To us that policy has always been,
and always will be suicidal, because all
the benefit ACQUIRES TO the manufacturing
party, which is Great Britain One leg
wears the boot, and the other goes bare
foot. That is precisely the operation OF
free trade between US and the nations OF
which we have always professed so much
jealousIy, and declared our Independence
and to which we are now becoming ltlb-
utary, and dependent debtor,

she then being in her fftieth year. They
lived many years together as happy as

lady died, being ninety.six years of age,
and in seven weeks after the old man mar
ried the girl they had raised, he being six
