Webster On Currency.

From speech made by Daniel
Webster in the United States SEN
ate, May 25, 1882, to be found in
the third volume OF his works, pages
394 and 395:
A sound currency is an essential
and indispensable security for the
fruits of industry and honest enter
prize Every man Of property or
industry, every man who desires to
preserve what he honestly possesses,
or to obtain what ho can honestly
earn, has direct interest in main
tanning a safe circulating medium ;
such medium as shall be real and
substantial representative Of proper
ty, not liable to vibrate with. opin-
ions, not subject to be blown up or
blown down by the breath of specu-
lation, but made staple and secure
by it's immediate relation to that
which the whole world regards as of
permanent value. A disordered
currency is one of the great polite
al evils. Tt undermines the virtues
necessary for the support of the So
cial system, and encourages propen-
sites destructive of its happiness.
1t wars against industry, frugality
anl economy; and it fosters the evil
spirits of extravaganza and specula-
tion. Of all the contrivances for
cheating the laboring classes Of
mankind, none have been SO etectu-
al as that which deludes them with
paper money. This is the most ef-
fectual of inventions to tertilize the
rich mau' 5 field with the sweat Of
the poor mans brow. Ordinary ty-
ranny, oppression, excessive taxa.
tion, these bear lightly on the mass
of the community, compared with a
fraudulent currency, and the robber.

Every Day Philosophy.

Hans Patrick e. Connor, former
Is haown by the nom de plume of
Beau Hackett, contributed the
following to the St. Louis Home
Jouvnal:
Never insure your life for the ben
eft of your wife for a greater sum
than ten thousand dollars. A widow
with more money than that is a dan
gerous legacy to leave posterity>
The game Of life is very like
a game Of cards. Time deals, dealt,
cuts, and everybody is waiting for
the las, trump.
[ think men drink in crowds be-
cause they arc afraid to drink by
themselves. It requires a good
deal of cc urage to stand up alone
and pour glass Of whiskey down
your throat.
There are some inconsistencies in
this world that don't exactly un-
derstand. Everybody is anxious to
go to heaven, but nobody is in u
hurry about it.
If a man is without enemies I
wouldn't give ten cents for all his
friends. The man who can please
everybody hasn't sense enough to
displease anybody.
When an acquaintance says,
"How are your and rushcs by you
without pausing for reply, |
wouldn't, If | was in your place,
follow him more than mile to tell
him | was we'll.
A convenient way Of testing the
affections Of your intended is to
marry another woman. Ifsse don't
love you, you will find it out imme
diately.
Do unto other men as they would
like to do unto YOU, and they won't
have enough money in two weeks to
hire a shirt washed.
The song "Dear Mother, I've
Come Home to Die always struck
me as happy illustration of Amer

Worthy Of Imitation.

The telegraph announced few
days since that the Italian govern
mcnt had decided upon liberating
and granting free pardon to the
Garibaldians and others Engaged in
the recent outbreak. But a short
time-has elapsed since the emperor
of Russia declared a universal am
ncsty towards the rebels of Circas-
sia. The sublime porte is reported
to be on the eve of adopting a SINH
lar conciliatory policy towards the
Cretans, conditioned upon suspen-
sion Of hostilities. Indeed the

ing vindictive policy tovards a

tory of intrigues, cabals, insurrec-
tions, revolutions and wars, plotted
and carried on with and without
cause against just and unjust gov
ernments, and in which the purest
patriotism and the most degrading
seltishncss were often staunch allies.
History is also filed with examples
Of governmental clemency to the
people of districts, states and coun-
tries who had lost their civil and po-
litical rights by blind adherence to
trusted leaders. But history fur
nishes no instance in which a great
and stable government has deliber-
ately pronounced a decree ofauthor-
lty against one-fourth of its own
subjects, or removed from the sphere
Of it's laws and institutions one-third
OF it's own domain.
The attitude of our government
toward the people of the southern
states is more anomalous, and more
dangerous than any ever recorded.
It is destructive to liberty, incom-
patiblc with our form Of government
subvcrsive of the whole fabric of re-
publican freedom, aud equally at va
rance with the highest human wis
dom, and the plainest teachings Of
inspiration. Our legislators have
many lessona to learn, or the coun-
try many ills to endure. 1t is sad
reflection that while the crowned
heads Of the 'old world' are fur
ni3hing so many examples of mag
naNinity in the treatment OF rebel
lious subjects that we alone should
be ruled by vindietive spite, crea-
ted and kept alive to promote the
ends Of designing political knaves

Fifty-Seyen lIOn:rei Mice.

The impeachment mountain has
been reduced to an infnitcsima a |
atom, no longer discernible to the
human eye. We have read of :.the
mountain that conceived and brought
forth mouse;' but in these days,
fifty-sev"n Mongrel mice have con-
,eived and brought forth NOTHING.
Yes, they have brought forth some-
thing though, in the shape Of nearly
$500, 900 addition to the "national
debt Five hundred thousand dol
lars the people have to pay cf ad-
ditional taxes for the sole purp Sc
of gratifying the malice of an igno-
rant and furious faction--of such
creatures as Schenck, Ashley, Lo-
gan, Kelley, and Thad Stevens,
who, so far from ever having been of
the least service to their country,
have always been an expense ana u
shame. This impeachment business
is fair specimen of their intclli-
gcnce and their craftsmanship. ---
With what conscience will the peo-
pie be called upon by and by to pay
a debt so crushing, and yet so lille
gally, so maliciously, and so unne-
cessarily amassed /! \ large pro-
portion Of our present enormous
debt has been rolled up by similar
freaks of malice and revenge. 1t
has been contracted in the interest
of faction. The people arc called
upon to pay the expenses of rcpudi-
ating the constitution of their coun-
try. 1t is this illegal and unright- :
cous debt which causes everything
the people eat, drink, or wear 10
cost about twice as much as it 9TH
crwise would. 1t is the DEBT which
is gradually removing the neccssi-
ties of life beyond tie reach Of the
poor--the HORRIBLE DEBT which has
been, in the main, contracted in tie
service Of such things as this dis
graced, abhorred, and repudiatel

we must confess, after all, that the

The National Banking Sys-
tem--llOW the Profits are
Made.

Everybody knows that the bank
ing business, while apparently car
ricd on at very low profit, is I'M
mensely lucrative. Though the laws
generally restrict interest on loans
to rate which does not exceed, in
any State, ten or twelve per cent,
yet bankers make fortunes faster
than any other class of business men;
for the interest which they receive
on discountsis but al ininitesimal
portion of their gains. Without 60
ing into details, the fact that bank
ers make most of their profits on
other peoples money, is fact and
mystery of the business.
This great end Of tie banking bus
mess IS better accomplished by
means of the, National banking law
than by any other mode that finan-
cial genius has ever devised. The
plan is very clear one. A man
needs temporary possession ef 500,
900 in greenbacks; with this sum he
buys at the United States Treasury
in Washington 500, 900 in Govern
ment bonds. He leaves the bonds
in the Treasury, as security for the
currency which he proposes to issue.
He is then supplied with 500, 900 in
National bank bills, ready printed
and as good as the greenback with
which he purchased his bonds. He
now owns his bonds and has within
$40, 600 as much money as he had
in the first place. His bonds bear
interest amounting to Sc, annu
ally in gold. He loans his 800, 900
at rate that netts him, probably,
fifteen per cent, or $13, 500 per an
mum. These sums of So 900 gold
and S13, 500 currency he actually
makes on the $40, 00o, which is all
that he has really invested. And
the bonds are nontaxablc, 50 that
this enormous profit is not reduced
by that expense which every other
business man pays. This is the
National banking system. 1t is the
worst system for the people and the
best for the capitalist that human
cunning ever created.
To sustain this system there is
extracted from the labor Of the
country twenty-five millions Of dol
lars a year. The aggregate capital
cf these banks is $500, ,0O0, Coo, and
almost every bank is a political as
we'll as financial institution. Gen.
Jackson and the American people
thought the old United States bank.
with a capital of &35, eco, 600, was
a pol;tico financial organization that
was dangerous to the public liberty.
AL tAat "aoitol was taxed; !. Was
widely distributed; it was under the
wafc',lul eye Of an unfriendly power:
as a rod it could be easily broken.
But the National Banking system,
with its untaxed consolidation capi-
tai of $500, 600, 900 as 4 depository
Of the public money; controlling with
despotic energy all business enter
prises ofthe, country; sustained by
the taxes levied on labor; to which
every interest is tributary; with its
mammoth proportions and ambitious
designs, is inconsistent with Demo-
cratic institutions, and we trust the
time for it's abolition through the
repeal Of the law by which it is au-
thorized, is not far distant. st. Paul

Daniel Webster once paid the
following beautiful tribute to wo-
man: MAY it please your honors,
there is nothing upon this earth
that can compare with the faithful
attachment of wife; no creature
who for the object of her love is SO
indomitable, SO persevering, so ready
to suffer and to die. Under the
most depressing circumstances, wo-
mans weakness becomes mighty
power, her timidity becomes fearless
courage. all her shrinking and sink
ing passes away, and her spirit ac-
quires the frmness Of marble--ada-
mantine firmness-when circumst stan
ces drive her to put forth all her
energies under the inspiration Of
her affections. :
