BANKING IN WIsCONsIN-"T THE WAR
AGAINST CAPITAL"

Several years ago, the people of Wis
consin voted for the present Banking Law.
1t carried by a large majority in the
State, but in Grant County, it only receiv-
ed 346 votes out of 1900 votes cast
Those who voted for the law did so under
the belief that money could be borrowed
ofthe banks at 10 per cent interest, which
is the rate fixed by the Banking Law. 1t
was this pledge that induced people 10 vote
for the law. Well, of the several millions
of Wisconsin Currency in circulation, per-
haps net a dollar thereof is loaned by any
Bank at less than 20 per cent, or double
what the Law fixes. 1t is true. the Banks
do not lend any money; they hand it to
some neighbor lawyer, merchant or Notary
to let it out for them at as high rates as
peoples necessities allow, but this is an
evasion. When told of the wrongs they
are committing, they accuse us of "acaring
against capital" Bankers are a ''persecu-
ted class" TO hear them talk; "they are
so few--their opponents so many" "lhey
are weak-their accusers so strongw
We remember well, the legislature that
authorized the people to vote "for" and
''against" the Banking law. 1t was large
ly democratic, about as largely democratic
as the legislature which authorized the
vote ''for' and against" the extension of
suffrage, was Republican. Democrats al
ways opposed Banks by profession but new
er failed to vote for them at the ballot
box; at this day, nearly all the Banks are
owned by democrats who made their mon
ey out Of the School lands and other prop
erty which they appropriated while in Of
fee. Through the Banks they own the
butt end of the property in the State-at
least, hold the key to every mans pocket.
Ii is just about as true of other States in
the Union as Of Wisconsin. The State
debts are the foundation of our bank pa
per debts, aud the bank paper debts are
used to liquidate every mans debts, no
other money being provided by Govern
ment-although Government is held bv
the Constitution to provide sound uni
form currency There never was great.

COPPER MINE DISCOVERED.

Some workinen have discovered a large
deposit of copper orc short distance north
of Wauzeka, in Crawford County. Wau-
zeka is at the lower crossing Of NJ. 81 M.
Railroad over the Wisconsin river. They
are reported as having taken out four tons
of the ore last week. All that region of
country between the Wisconsin river and
Lake Superior, except the ancient high
bluffs along the Wisconsin is composed of
drift. Owen, in his Geological survey of
Iowa and Wisconsin, says this drift or rub
Dish, of which that entire northern country
is composed, belongs to the Superior coun-
try, whence it came by flood at time
when the waters of the north broke from
their basin and inundated the lower coun-
try, carrying great boulders, copper ore
and even mountains away and landing
them below in unnatural confusion. Il
may therefore be inferred that no we're ex-
tensive deposit of copper exists at any
place far south of Superior, and that the
Wauzeka discovery will probably not a.
mount 10 much.

WHEAT CROP-FALSE REPORTs-wE FEEL
BETTER


Our eastern news exchanges assert and
present what they call the documentary
proof that wheat and most other crops
will average with others years, and that
the supply will so far exceed the demand
as TO leave prices about as they. are for
another whole year. OF all this they APP
pear posted and confident thus feeling,
they are easy and jolly. We hope they
are right, but as for this part Of the west,
we yet prefer to trust our eyes and the
savings of the. masses. The fact is, the
grain buyers and their agents, the very
men who are interested in keeping every
body easy in hope Of plenty, are the men
who are looked to for grain reports about
harvest time; they write for eastern city
papers, gratis, freely, feelngly, and pow
erfully, because interested in every word
they write about "good" and 'dverage'
crops. AS soon as they can buy up the
surplus grain they can write with even
more feeling and power that the crop Of
1853 was not over quarter of an aver
age From the very best we can fine
out, the wheat crop of the entire west
is not half what it was last year; the crol
of ls57 was, however, over an average
We do not now believe that wheat will
rise much over present prices, because OF
the old wheat in the granaries of farmers
SO stubbornly kept over and out Of mar
ket, contrary to we'll intended eounsels
from every source.
We have samples of new wheat from
several vicinities and kinds of soil. Sandy
land proves vastly superior this year fol-
wheat. The sample received from Mus
coda would be called superior; that from
Blakes prairie is not so plump, while a lol
from this vicinity is inferior A week a
90, we saw a field in Little Grant Town
counted at 80 bushels to the acre and a
long side of it another field of earlier sown
that will not yield 10 bushels. Kind Of
wheat, time of sowing aud quality of soil
answer to and regulate the wheat product
this year; added to these considerations,
are the long chapter of accidents and vari-
able weather, so that scarcely field in
fifty has missed all the fires and hit the
mark
We feel pretty we'll however, better than
last week, over the ruins. Our al ticipa-
ted calamity of dear bread appears less
frightful; consequently we believe the pan
ic will continue to wear away and in few
months will be over. =.

THE FRAZER RIVER GOLD MINES.

We are indebted to w. G. Gear of this
scjitty, for late Oregon papers: The. Port
land Times cautions the public not to- pu,
too credence in the many stories afoat with
regard to the "large nuggets and "big
chunks" found by the miners at Coville
and other points on the Frazer andThomp
son rivers, and thinks they are only making
good wages. A correspondent of the
Statesman, writing from the vicinity Of
the mines, says:
81 will give you all the information that
| can get mold of with regard to the gold
mines on Thompson's and Frazer's rivers
At present it is hard to ascertain what is
mere rumor and what facts. One thing is
certain, gold is there in paying quantities
It will undoubtedly recompense those who
are without work or employment; but
those who have comfortable homes and
steady occupation, had better stay. It is
giving up certainty for doubtful expec-
fancy. The country is barren, unproduc-
tie region. All supplies will have to be
transported from Puget Sound to Frazer's
river, and thence twenty days travel on
horseback. All going, will have to pre-
pare themselves for many hardships and
great expenses"

COMMU MICA TE D :.
WHEAT-ANEW DEsTR0YER-MF0RMATION
WANTED.

Mr.. EDITOR In your paper OF the
nth inst, are some notes in regard to the
wheat crop of the west; great complaints
are made Of the wet weather and Of the
hot weather in spelling the wheat crops.
Farmers everywhere complain of the
rust and of the blight in. their crops, and,
indeed the mischief is not confined to the
west; but accounts from the east and from
the south tell the same sad news. Now
Cor my own part, l too had complained,
loud as any, Of the blight, but as the last
eight or ten days have been more favora-
Bile, l had hoped that some of the late
wheat and oats would escape; but as these
have recently been attacked in the same
way was led to more thorough examin-
alton of the matter, which has convinced
me that in these parts, at least, it is not
the rust, nor is it the blight, but the diff
Guilty, in my opinion, is of far more seri-
GUS nature; an insect fer more destructive
than the chinch bug, hassinfes.ed our fields.
in the shape Of a little green bug, 1--WE call
him bug for want of better name)
which soon natures and becomes green
ish fly, some of which I have seen half as
large as the green horse fly.
They may first be found when very
small under the leaves which they soon
destroy, and as the leaf dies they crawl
around and appear in large numbers
around the stalks just above the upper leaf
and sometimes may be fourd in the head
drawing the very life-blood from the
grain.
/ attempted to put stop to their mis-
chief by cutting the grain when quite
green, but this is of very little use for many
Of them will remain in the sheaf until The
very last drop of juicy substance is destroy
ed.
Notwithstanding the immense damage
done by this insect, many of our farmers
have worked among them for days without
even suspecting where the difficulties orig
mated. So extensive have been their
work of destruction that not single field
has escaped and indeed there are thou
sands of acres entirely spoiled.
Now, if any of your readers have ever
before heard of this insect or have any
knowledge of its name or habits, we wish
to hear from them. Let us know all
about it and especially whether we are
likely to be visited by them another year.

RULES FOR GROWING Old am now
an old man. | have seen nearly cen
fury. Do you want to know how to grow
old slowly and happily! Let me tell you.
Always eat slowly-masticate we'll. Go
to your food, to your rest, to your occupa-
ton, smiling. Keep good nature and a
soft temper everywhere. Never give way
to anger. A violent tempest of passion
tears down the constitution more than a
typhhus fever. Cultivate good memory,
and to do this you must always be com
municative; repeat what you have read
talk about it. DR.. Johnson's great memo
ry was owing to his communicativeness.-
You, young men, who are just leaving col
lege, let me advise you to choose profes-
sion in which You can exercise your talents
the best, and at the same time be hone St.
The best profession is the ministry of the
gospel. It you have not talents to be a
minister, be lawyer, but be an honest
lawyer Rev. Daniel Waldo.

the stencil prevailing in the American
Bottom, caused by decaying vegetation
and the decomposition of animal matter
deposited BY the late flood, is unendura-

already gone-to Waterloo from the Bot

NOTE TO "WILLIE. "-"WILLIE," writes
to us a private note, but without giving
his name, saying he sees something al
most every week published in the Herald
over fictitious name, and asks why his ar
ticle cant also appear over his fictitious
name, like the communications of others.
Bless you "WnLIE," we never publish the
the names Of writers, unless they request
it; we allow them to sign any name they
fancy, real Or fictitious. The name of a
writer Of every communication is required
not for publication, but for our own use.
The editor is just as much entitled to
know who writes for his paper as willie"
Is entitled to the name of his teacher, his
sweet heart or his friend. Again, we
want to get acquainted with those who
are so friendly to he Herald as to write
for it. We may wish to drop them a line,
or write them an apology for rejecting their
illusions. How are we to do so unless We
have their name and p. o. address g
"WuLIE" is assured that the true name of
every writer for the Herald, signing fic
ttious nane,is known to us. 1t is further
more a world widerule for editors to require
and writers to furnish their names, not
necessarily for publication but for his pri-
vale use
