payment of which, of course, was very
promptly declined. Had it not been for
the timely interference of a friend who
knew him to be a man who had always
borne good character, he would prob
ably have got into serious trouble, as
the 'joke" he was perpetrating was par

CONGRESS AND THE FL.
NANCES.

The approaching session Of congress
Is looked to with much anxiety, especial
ly in the west, where monetary tight
ness seems to be encircling every de-
partment of trade and productive indus
try within its iron grasp. In the east
ern states, which hold an undue pro-
PORTION Of the national currency, the
general prostration of trade is not 50
great as here in the west, where the vol
u ne of currency in circulation is less
than at any time during the past ten
years.
1t is said that western members of
congress, by reason of recent COM
mingling with the people, will favor the
immediate passage of a general banking
law, for the purpose of supplying cur
rency to all parts Of the country, in
such portions as may be required; or,
filling in this, they will work for re-
distribution of the national currency,
by taking from the eastern states, and
giving to the west and south. The
probability is that they will fail in both
these undertakings. The money infu-
ence of the east is all-powerful. West
ern courage and endurance may subdue
forests, build railroad across the conti-
nent, and face the most appalling dan
gers on land and sea, but when clash
of interests brings the west face to face
with the monied aristocracy of the east,
We are as chaff before mighty wind.
Western men start to Washington with
their pockets full or financial measures,
calculated to benefit their section of the
country, by equalixing the burdens and
favors to be derived from congressional
Legislation; but it is safe SO say that in
nine cases in every ten, that is the last
Of them. There is no help for this so
long as the Republican party maintains
its ascendancy, and works harmoniously
on all party measures, as it has. done
heretofore. If the Democrats should
not succeed in getting majority in con-
gress, at the next election Of members,
there is some hope that sehism will be
effected between eastern and western
Republicans On the tariff and other
financial measures, among whom there
is now radical difference Of opinion,
which sectional interests may so embit-
tsr that the cohesive power Of public
plunder may prove unable to hold the
homogeneous elements together But
this result can only be attained by edu
eating the masses to that point where
sheY will refuse to elect any man, Demo
crat or Republican, who fails to battle
earnestly and successfully for thei
rights, and against monopolies and clas
Legislation of every name and kind
Then, and not till then, may We conf
IDENTIFY look for an equal distribution o
the taxes and currency, and tarii
framed for revenue purposes only.s
