York q class of spectators who buy up all
such stocks and wait for the favorable
tIme-next month, we will say-when the
treasury, in place of 2O,0OO,OOO, pays out
S6O, ,OOO,O 600. Then money becomes album
dant, and these stocks are rushed in upon
the market, and the gamblers mako their
harvest. You see there is no equilibrium
here. Our money market is ali the time
huctuating, influenced by that vast, over
grown corporation, the National Treasury.
Then, again, all kinds Of stocks are affected
IN this way. I can go into the market in
New York any day in my business, and by
the process that obtains there smash by nv
superior force of capital the small dealers
that venture competition with me- The
whole country is affected by this. Money
is entirely too dear. The cotton planters at
the South pay almost twenty-five per cent.
Tor the capital to work their plantations
England is the chief market for cotton, but
she is every year extending her purchases
in India and Egypt, and finally, BY manipu-
latlng the markets, she will damage our
cotton interests at the South irretrievably
Agricultural interests suffer in the same
manner from this dearness of money.
England will, after while, buy less of our
agricultural staples. Capital is too dear,
the cost of transportation too high, the
taxes too many and too crushing for our
farmers. Same way with the manufacturing
interests. Twenty years ago, our firm in
Rhode Island was one among twenty little
ones; now we have the whole field to our
selves; but then we crushed out the others,
and are now engaged fighting the big fell
lows, until, finally, New England will have
nothing but q small aggregation of enor-
nous monopolics, welding power danger
GUS to the State and to the liberties and
happiness of the people. But think of all
that money that goes into the Treasury
being committed to the charge of boy,
formerly a secretary Of mine; whereas in
Europe the most responsible men in the
community are invariably selected for the
duty OF receiving and looking after the pub
nc 1unds The Treasury, above all things,
should be jealously guarded, and all it's in

HAUBSTADT, July D, 1869.
The past two weeks have been
weeks of incessant toll and labor, both
to man and beast. Nought else was
to be heard only the steady rattle of
the reaping machine. gathering the
golden grain into punches ready for
the binder, whose fingers are often so
worn by constant binding as to bleed
from dozen or more sores at the
same time Harvest is now over, and
it is the most boun tiful one ever be-
slowed on this section Of the country.
1t has taken away the farm croaker's
thunder, and places that class of
men In a sad dilemma. Some
three weeks ago the croakers had
reached the zenith of their glory, for
they had found some smut In a few
fields Of wheat. Then their croaking
was sad and lamentable | think I
hazard nothing in saying some Of
these same croakers will soon convey
their wheat to market, and boldly
face the buyer with a long face, look
ing as sanctimoniOus as a Reverend
Divine, and swear there Is not a grain
VI SLuuu III JIi6iI wheat. 1T. LOWS
and Igleheart Bros. may safely offer
premium to find a man who has smut
In his wheat.
Having recently travelled through
the counties of Sullivan, Knox. Glib
son, and POsey, Indiana, and White,
Illinois, [ find the crops much the
same, but must say the best wheat l
have seen is on the farms of 4. Boren,
A. @. Wilkinson, and s. and II. q.
Harris, on the road from TT. Branch
to Cynthiana.
After a two weeks siege in the
harvest field, b must say [ have not
seen as much as one dozen heads of
smut.
The corn crop, though young, looks
quite promising.
Meadows are severely damaged by
the army worm.
Fruit of all kinds, both wild and
domestic, is in great abundance.

their branches being broken of, they
had the appearance of being dead
and dying. About the branches Wlrey
crane vines had twined themselves,

and the overwhelming beauty or the

tances were undermined, and as the
great weight Of our loaded train moved
over it we sank down until it seemed
that further progress would be i'm
possible, but the danger was at last
passed, and we slowly continued our
way. Through the swampy places,
for the want Of earth, the roadway is
constructed with timber laid longi
tudinally and crosswise to the proper
height, TO receive the ties which bear
the iron rails. After leaving this part
of the prairie and coming upon higher
ground, we occasionally passed
through a small settlement where the
land seemed to be in a fair state OF
cultivation. All along where the
| couatry had suffered from in
undation, droves of cattle that
had been grazing upon the rich grass
| of the prairie were collected along the
/ 81 v.fa

forced them; and as [ write, the hoarst
