BE PREPARED FOR THE SToRm.-The follow
ing advice is from the Chicago Tribune
Money is cheap and abundant A paper dol
lar is deprecated to forty-four cents, gold val
ne. Currency is plenty and growing plentier
Come easy, go easy, is the prevailing feeling
But sooner or later the present abnormal con-
diton of things will terminate-perhaps gradu-
ally, perhaps suddenly. The values Of all COM
modities, including money, fearfully wa
tered. But when the crash comes the water
will be bailed out leaving only what is repre-
sented by the gold standard. Men are walking
on high stilts and are making long but inse-
cure strides. But all must dismount one of
these days, and come down until their feet
touch the earth. Many will be precipitated
head long, who now tower aloft on their stills
Wise and prudent men will be prepared in time,
for the inevitable change. The class to suffer
by the termination of the war are those in debt
merchant with q stock worth $4,000, and
half paid for, will not realize therefrom enough
to pay what he owes. When the goods are all
sold he will find himself still in debt from five to
ten thousand dollars, and this debt he must Ii
quidate, principal and interest, with gold or its
equivalent or go into bankruptcy.
The consequence of the end Of the war with
the debtor class will be to increase every mans S
debts about l25 per cent. An obligation of
81 900 will become in practical effect one of
$40, OOO That is it will require property or la
Dor now worth in currency $4,000 to pay it. A
note outstanding drawing ten per cent. interest
will then draw what would now be equivalent
to twenty-five per cent, or thereabouts, to say
nothing of the principal of the note, the diff
Guilty of whose payment will swell in cores
ponding ratio.
We are glad to put on record the declaration
of the New York Times, (Rep.) that 'An oppo-
stion is almost as necessary in constitutional
State as an administration, and that liberty can
not be preserved, nor economy and efficiency Sc
cured, without the exercise of a somewhat sus-
picious vigilance on the part Of some portion of
the public.
The war has destroyed 10000 negroes in
Louisiana in three years. They disappear with
rapidity unequalled.'
