The I,mes the other day, charged with a
remarkable degree of b0dness, that the rea-
son OF our opposition to the precious scheme
of tho st. Paul bankers the City Council
and the Board OF Supervisors, to flood the
State with spurious currency was owing
to the fact that the PIONEER AND DgMoCRAr
Is not IN the enjoyment OF either city or
county patronage. This is a very natural
suggestion for the Times to make, as il is
pretty well understood that it, advocacy OF
political and financial measures, is deter.
mined with mathematical precision by the
exact amount Of light" that it receives, from
railroad companies, political opponents, and

1t is known to be an impossibility to make
exchange OF this circulation consequently, If
we have such an amount Of il, as TO drive out
all, or nearly all, convertible currency, we
must then send away our gold to make ex-
change, leaving Us with nothing but tbs irres-

As a natural result from this state of things,
tho cost Of keeping up an eastern account Is In
creased, and this increased expense, the mer-
chant who has eastern debts 10 pay or goods
to buy, must pay in the purchase Of exchange
from his banker. on which he must make him
self good by charging his customers large

The conduct of at least one of our local
bankers in relation to the Bank Of Minneso-
q, deserves severe Reproduction. Since that
bank has been started, we'll known firm Of
brokers in this city, not too well known for
their liberality, have made systematic run
upon it, for the gold collecting its currency
at great pains, and using every little effort
that meanness or malignity could devise to
stihe it's circu lation-and this too, of the
very time they were engaged in putting ont
their certificates of deposit to circulate
among the bali-breeds of Northwestern

Is only equalled by its impudence.
Money continues scarce, and as the trash
which the authorities have put into circuIa-
ton in which the sole element Of vitality is
the endorsement OF certain brokers-neces.
sarily displaces an equal amount OF sound
