start. Us roots dive deep for water
and nothing kills it. 1t makes excellent

The rain which has fallen since Tues
day night was greatly needed for maturing
the early and saving the late grain froni
utter blight 1t is the opinion of farmers
with whom we have conversed from many
Parts of the State, that without this rain |
there could hardly have been half the aver
age Weld per acre this year. Had it come
ten days sooner it would have been better. |
bat coming late as it has it will greatly in |
crease the Weld by saving the late sowing !
from the destruction with which it was men |
aced. Such weather as we have had since |!
Tuesday night, continued through this week |
Is Just what was wanted. 1t will add mil |
lions of bushels to the wheat harvest and i'm |
prove the quality of the yield. As for in
! airing the hay crop, that is not to be feared. |
If the wet weather holds out long enough to
damage what has been cut and stIll remains
IA the field, it will send forward new and |
better growth of grass than the old and |
give US June haymaking that will more
rhan make up for the small loss thus oc-
casioned.

ANOTHER MODE PROPOSED FOR REDUC
ING THE NATIONAL INDEBTEDSEss.-
Toward the close of the recent session OF
Congress several of the Senators expressed
the belief that it would be good policy to en-
graft upon our Pacific Railway system the
feature that charaCterizes those of France,
Holland, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Portu
gal and Italy, to make every person who
travels or traffics by rail contribute, with
out knowing it, a fractional sum toward the
discharge OF the public debt, and to make the
railways the agents OF collecting and fund
ing this tax iutinitesimally small in amount
and unaccompanitd by any show of revenue
machinery. and Of handing 1t over to the
State as sinking fund, TO pay off the national
obligations. II is claimed for this plan that
among Us blessings would be settlement of
mos, of tne financial and currency questions
which vex our politics and unsettle our trade.
By means Of this railway sinking fund
France viii in less than ninety wears be re-
lieycd of the entire burden Of her national
debt of $500, 100000. By means of it
Belgium will pay otfin 1854 the si0,OO0,0O0
She borrowed To construct her first 800 miles
Of railway, and she will then have a net an
nual revenue from her entire :, stem ofroads
OF : ,7O0, 009-Suttcient to pay off the in
tereSt on her national debt of Sl3l 200, 900.
Bv this means improvident Spain will pay off
500, 900 900 Of her debt OF $500 100000,
and Austria vii. get relief from S325, 000,-
900 Of her financial burden of $780, 000,-
300.
On the continent Of Europe it is reported
to be now accepted maxim among fnanciers
and statesmen that the railway is the true
sinking fund for the payment of national in
iebteGncss. Public attention has never be-
ore, we believe, been called to this mode of
-educing cnr enormous public debt. and it is
certainly, from the examples afforded by
,ther nations, worthy of consideration.
