A member of the British Parliament has
recently proposed TO levy an export duty on
coal and iron shipped from England. His
argument was that ''coal and iron were
gifts of Providence, and it was the duty of
the government to utilize these commodi-
ties for the benefit of the country If this
is good logic, as applied to these substances
in England, it is doubly true as applied in
America to cotton

The Present Financial PhenO-
lnRnA.

The country-fnancially y-is in condition
similar to that of man who has been bled
every day until the practice has grown into
habit which can neither be safely intermit-
ted nor continued. If the process is per-
sisted in, he will die with exhaustion if
abandoned, he will die with congestion
The numerous failures that are taking place
under the current advance in paper securi-
ties indicate that the time has arrived when
fluctuations either way are about equally
dangerous. When gold goes up, one set of
men are prestrated ; when it goes down, an
other # is observable that they who are
now falling are, by the public journals, put
in the category OF spectators. This Is only
partially true-only true to the extent that,
in times like these, all me in active business
are spectators. There is not, i'll the old
sense, any such thing as regular trade upon
established rules of profit. The changes in
the paper price Of the standard of mercan-
tile values which take place within the period
bounded by the purchase of manufacture OH
the one hand, and the sale upon the other,
are sufficient to overrule all the old laws of
thrift and establish a new and speculative
basis for business transactions.
We have been looking for the announce
mcnt of numerous mercantile failures, un-
der the present depression in the gold
market. We have heard persons sagacious
in financial phenomena predict that the de-
scent of gold to one dollar and half would
break great numbers Of merchants in the
cities Of the country. The word panic is
now used to describe the state of the public
mind in those localities. A fall in gold
that movement which many look upon with
so much gratification--is producing panic.
! Panic is that loss of confidence in the i'm.

EDITOR FARMER Sc me of your readers
may feel interested in perusing a few lines
from the gold regions No doubt there are
a great many who intend coming to this
country the coming season. A few words
to such might prove important. There are
several different routes and many different
methods Of travling them. $500 will bring
one through on the stage, in is or 20 days,
rio Denver and Salt Lake City. Many will
come up the Missouri river, as there will be
a stage line established from here to the
point of navigation in the Spring. But
many cannot come by either of fthese routes,
owing to their abilities being limited
Others pretercrossng the plains with TEAMS
in order to bring their families with them,
a years provisions, &c. where there is a
will, there is way and all who are deter
mined, can come. AT Omaha, st. Joe, and
the main outftting posts, freightcrs will
want teamsters. Some pay wages, others
passage. Two, three, or four each with
small capital can join together and buy their
own outfit Cattle are generally preferred
to horses or mules. A No. |, widc-track
wagon, is Indispensable. The Schuttler
wagon Of Chicago, is considered the best. -
DO not load your wagons heavy east OF the
Missouri river. Bring as much with little
weight as you can. Instead of hauling more
flour than you will use, you would do well
to purchase tea, coffee, dried fruits, lard,
whisky, (in 10 gallon kegs bottled wines,
&c. These articles are Of less weight pro-
portionately than -four, ready sale, and more
valuable here. THERE'S plenty ofhour brought
here from Salt Lake City. No one with
weak lungs should attempt to cross the
plains. The atmosphere is entirely too
light for any invalid. This is not to
be expected trip of pleasure. 1t is one
thatsapt to make Preacher forget himself.

The Great Obstacle to Peace.

Isit not possible that the great obstacle
to a return of peace, which is SO generally
conceded to be the want of magnanimity
and of liberality of views aud of condi-
tons, on the part of the Administration
may be accounted for, in addition to narrow
ness Of intellect and want of statesmnnlike
ability by some more weighty arguments
certainly applied to subordinates in every
capacity-and which are now being made
use of so openly and shamelessly, as to
prove that no one is exempt from suspi-
cion Is it not the interest of almost ev-
cry Administration politician to protract the
war, and are not the exceptions those who
have already feathered their nests, and can
therefore affect more liberal spirit ? And
when this influence has not directly been
used with Cabinet officers, Senators and
Representatives, is it not almost as potent
indirectly through their friends and sup
portcrs, hundreds of thousands of whom
are dependent upon the continuation of the
war as means of support or of speculation?
is it not easy for these men to assure their
leaders that ''it will never do to stop this
thing now, that lit must be continued to
the bitter end, " that '1peace would be the
ruin Of the party ?" And when these
leaders hear these arguments and see what
good thing it is for their friends, are they
not easily convinced that the true policy is
what they wish
1t looks like it, and it makes the honest
and conservative almost despair when they
see what has to be contended against in ad-
dition to the military strength of the rebel
lion, in order to restore harmony and un-
ion.-Detroh Free Press.
