we did the City Printing for nothing, We did
this out ofpurely benevolent motives, We knew
the city was poor and really unable to pay for rs
printing, aud We knew that the people were apt to
grumble at the amount of their taxes and we were
willing to lessen them all wecould This year,wo
knew there was little improvement in the financial
condition Of tho city, and We again offered to do
theprinting for the coming year, for nothing. The
publisher of the Times however. boiling over with
patriotism, and anxious to do something for his

The Best Policy.-Many of our farmers are
LoIding on to their wheat and other produce at
this time, mainly because the currency is in
such an uncertain condition Since the action
of the Bankers Convention held at Milwaukee
this objection is in part removed. The Wiscon-
sin Banks now on the current list, a copy of
Of which we again publish this week, will be
good at the least, until the first Of December
next. The same may be said Of the current
Illinois Banks. For present uses therefore, the
present currency is as good as gold, A hundred
Dollars Of it will pay as many debts or buy as
ms ny goods, as ever the same amount Of mon
ey wopld.
Another consideration is, the disarrangements
of the currency, the high rates of exchange and
the actual loss by depreciation of currency in
| hand has fallen even more heavily upon mer
chants and dealers, and creditors generally thar
upon their customers and debtors, and they arr
therefore entitled TO some considerations wheI
the question is considered whether to sell, o.
hold over for a more settled currency and bette
times.
The probability is that there viii be an ad
vance in the price of wheat soon, if at all be.
fore next fall, and when IL does cume up t.
a reasonable figure, it seems to us that it woul
be the part Of wisdom to sell, in spite of the cur
rency, and pay up all debts and enable the mer
chants to pay theirs, and thus keep alive thu
springs Of business.
