The disease and the Remedy.

Never since Ohio was a State, have SO
many and SO great political and financial dis.
disarters fallen upon the people as during
the past and present year. One act Of dis
grace and mismanagement follows another
in quick succession. One misfortune fol-
lows another, as week follows week, until
the credit OF tho State is lost, its name dis.
honored, its people disgraced, and its tax.
payers oP pressed. 1t seems ss though the
whole State administration, instead OF labor
ing TO protect and advance the public inter
est, was bending all its energies and exer
cising all its ingenuity to hurrass and bur
den the people. The greater portion o.
these disasters which have fallen upon us
have arisen out Of the loose, wreckess mode
Of receiving, keeping and disburseing the
public moneys. The Treasury of Ohio has
been an IMMENSE BANKING HOUSE
distributing ils funds to individuals and in.
| corporations, here and there over the State'
for HE purpose ofshaving the people with
the peoples money.
AS remedy, sure and practicable, the
Democratic party proposes The establishment
Of IN Independent Treasury for the State.
The plan has already been adopted by the
Federal Goverr ment, and cur experience OF
maty years has demonstrated the propriety
and efficacy Of the measure. We propose
precisely such an institution for Ohio. A.
dopt it nd the public moneys will be safe
beyond the reach Of Gelaulters-beyond the
reach of falling bar kers- beyond the reach
of unprincipled political gamblers. Adopt
it and Ohio will never again'be dishonored
BY startling lefaIcatiops-by deprecated
stocks-uccumulatcd and accumaating debt
and an empty treasury.

"A Tribute ID the "l.idcpcndent
Treasury"

The New York Independent pays q glow
ing tribute to the "Independent Treasury
system, which we copy below. The recent
failures of banking institutions and bankers
who were regarded as the soundest in the
country, will direct public attention to the
"fndependent Treasury" as the only safe
system for the collection and disbursement
of the public revenues of the State;
In connection with This subject of specie,

for government moheys Offers itself as an
important subject. AT first sight this sys.

ry from actual circulation and beneficiary
use. 1t is like, says its opponents, burving
talent in the ground. But the system has
been found to work bene6ciullly as check
on the undue expansion Of trade. When
the public deposits were made in various
banks, besides the risk attending the loan cl
so much money to corporations, there was
the palpable evil Of a constant oscillation O
bank contraction and expansion by the de.
post and withdrawal OF the public moneys
which could not be relied On, and which os.
cillation was continually occurring to the
disturbance of the money market. The
knowledge, on the part of the bank that when
custom duties were coming into the Treasu-
ry largely would lose coin, enables them to
prepare for the dra!n, and keeps in due
check their tendency to expansion.
The opposition to that system seems to
have wholly died away. We have of no
complaints and is held to be political and Il.
nahcially sohnl.
The most potent consideration, however
which operates in favor of the "Inde ebenden,
Treasury" is that it prevents the moral
corruption to which there is strohg tenden.

from one of Dow, jr.'s short patent ser
mons:
"Man looks upon life just as he looks
upon woman-there is no living with
them and he can't live without them
He will run after them; and rather than
be held, he will lose his coat. tail and
characteristics them for love, and kiss
them for leading him into trouble. So
with life. He partakes of its pleasures,
and then curses it for It's pains; gathers
boquets of bliss, and when their bios
SONS have faded he finds himself in
possession of a buuch of briars, which
is all owing to little incident that oc-
