The Scarcity of Money.

Th're is and must be general scar
city OF currency throughout the country.
hecsuse the article is SO superabundant
This statement is doubtless paradox to
the unr' ii citing: nevertheless nothing is
more certain. The history Of this coun-
try for the last fifty years shows that mo
ney has always been most scarce, and
the rates OF interest most advanced, when
there was the largest absolute amount in
circulation. The reason for this il OBJ.
vious. As currency is expanded, spec
nlation it excites, prices are grestiy raised.
and it takes a much larger amount Of
money to transfer an fqnal amount Of
merchandise. while the operations OF
those who are engaged in influencing and
controlling the immense amount oftrsns-
fersble property of all kinds held for spec
uistive purposes. absorb ell the ssrplus,
and leave the money market in stringent
condition.
Money. We must rpcollect, is scarce
not in proportion TO it's actual qnantity.
bot to the relative demand for it. When.
therefore. in addition to the natural wants
OF trade. the speculative interest comes
into market, the extraordinary. demand
is certain to create pressure; so that,
practically. It has slwavs been true, as
it "a now trne. that an expanded currency
will be most scarce when it is most abun-
dant; that collections will be most nm.
satisfactory when the circulation is lar
gesf; and the rates of interest Will he
highest when the loans Of the banks are
wost' extended.
This important lesson the people must
learn; and il they would have money
plenty and cheap. they must insist that
the amount shall be reduced to its natural
limit-to that point where it is at par
with speice. They cannot have an easy
and reliable money market until that
which is called money is truly so: and
ve incur no risk in PREDICTING that sat
isfsctory state Of trade will not arrive
until the cnrr.ncy Of the ns:iou is eqni-
vslent in value to the currency Of com
merce.
In looking forward for the remainder
Of the cnrrent yesr. we do not nticipate
general panic or bresking down of the
national industry. because the currency
is now . fixed quantity. and cannot be
a. 10 the case OF mixed currency it muzt
be suddenly withdrawn from circulation
whenever there is pressure on the
banks for the redemption Of their notes;
bat we do expect that trade. m.nufaciur-
ing. aud business generally will 10 de-
pressed. that profits will be small. ex.
penses large. rents and rates of interest
high. aud Losses from delinquent debtors
heavy; while in the large centres Of trade.
especially in the largest: 'the spasms" Of
the money market will be frequent and
violent.-Er.

TUE METHODIST CHURCH. NORTH AND
SouTH.-A dispatch from St. Louis
says: The communications which were
exchanged between the college of bishops
of the Methodist Church, South. which
met in this city some days since. and
Bishops james and Simpson, a depu,a-
tion representing the Board of Bishops Of
the Methodist Church. lately in session at
Mesdville. Pennsylvsnis, are published
The communications relate to general
aud full reunion Of the church separated
BY formal act of both in 1914.
The reply of the Southern bishops
does not entertain the question Of the re-
union of the two bodies under one iuris-
diction. as previous to 1874. 1t asserts
that the frsternal relations must first be
restored. if at all such proposition can
be entertained these fraternal relations
cannot be restored except by On overture
made by the Northern G anersl Confer
euce. upon the basis of the plan of separa.
tion of 1874. implying the aband onment
BY the General Conference North of the
whole ground assumed in the General
Conference at Pittsburgh in l848. which
assumed that the separation was schism
and secession upon the part Of the South
ern Church. and implying. slso. that the
expressions as charged by the Southern
Church should cease. The Southern
bishops deny the statement that slavery
was the cause. and assertthas it was only
the occasion in 1874. that it simply was
the subject which occssioned the sssertion
BY the Northern members of the General
Conference Of 1874. Of authority to leg
islate upon secular questions. and con-
corning the civil institutions of the coun-
try.

A. l. n. r. R.-The Commissioners
appointed to lay of and locate the line
of the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad
according to law, reached this place on
Tuesday evening. They commenced at
the southern line of the County ON Mon
day morning, reaching Troy the same
evening-thus coming through in the
short space Of two days. But ss the
right of way had been given through 9
major portion of the land before, they
were enabled to make fast time. Many
persons who had not given the right Of
way, made terms for q small considera-
tion. A few stood out for the highest
price. some demanding almost as much
as their farms were worth. In such CO
ses the land wss condemned, and the
matter will be adjusted by Court.
Everything is now ready for work.
The Chief Engineer and contractors will
be up next week. to sub let the section
from Wolf River to White Cloud. and
we may expect to see work commence
on this end Of the line soon.

ST, LOUIS DRY GOODS TRADE.

As an evidence of the increasing growth and
prosperity OF st. Louis a great and import
ant jobbing centre, notice the colossal pro-
portions to which the Dry Goods House OF
Dodd, Brown & Co. has grown during the short
period of three years During our recent visit
to st. Louis we were shown through their new
and elegant fve-story house located at 2l7 and
2l9 North Main street, and, to our surprise
found a much larger business than we had sup
posed was conducted by any dry goods
firm in the city. We We're much inter asted to
see how systematically their immense stock
was disposed OF on the different foors of their
lBrge establishment. The first and second
floors are devoted TO staple cotton goods, fan
nelsr jeans, etc; the third floor is devoted to
dress goods, gloves, hosiery and notions; the
fourth, to cloths, caSslmercs, white goods, and
other varieties; and the fifth floor to original
packages
An elevator operated by steam, Is almost
constantly in motion, conveying passengers
and freight TO the different loofs OF their I'm
mense building.
This is the largest dry goods house west OF
the MISSISSIPPI river The dimensions of the
building occupied by Dodd, Brown x Co. are
forty feet front 10y one hundred and fifty feet
Their stock is not ouly the largest and most
the largest Dry Goods business west oft the Mis-

BE SYSTEMATIC.

The saying is not more ancient
| than true, that WhateSe r is worth
| doing is worth doing well. 1t APP
| plies to every man in every pursuit,
| and in proportion as it is needed is
success attained, while its neglect in
variably results in failure. The man
| of business attainments and fortune
does not become SO by chance or be-
cause he is what the world terms
lucky, but simply for the reason that
he observes the fundamental princi-
pie underlying all success-he adopts
a system and steadily persues it.
Chance belongs to fairy land alone
and has no place in material trans
actions. Every thing is subject and
reduced to cause and effect, and ev-
cry action or result if analyZed will
prove this true. Hence, the absurd
ity of those who are constantly eX-
pecting to reap their golden harvests
without first pursuing initiatory
steps incident thereto. Spasmodic
efforts seldom succeed, and spaSmod-
ic workers invariably fail. All goes
to SubStantiate this. The aStronO-
mer demonstrates to a mathematical
certainty the fixed and irrevocable
laws which govern the movement
of bodies through space, and clearly
points out the disastrous results
which would follow a suspension of
these laws. What is true in this
case is equally SO in others, and the
principle governs in all things.
There must be a cause To produce an
effect.
We commend this proposition
more especially to that class of the
great public with whom we daily
come in contact, and for whose sue
cess it is SO very important, the adj
vertisers, and this does or should
embrace every business man. What
ever your goods, wares or merchan-
disc may be, remember that system,
perseverance and success go hand in
hand. If you are to introduce an ar
ticle of value or necessity to would
be-cus toners, it cannot be done by
n single medium. There are many
who, regarding one trial sufficient,
fold their hands after its accomplish
ment and wonder that so little salts
faction is attained thereby. In such
cases the fault is invariably with
the advertiser. He must keep him
self before the people, not only this
month or this year but constantly or
when the season for his business
comes around. Pursuing this COZ rse,
success Is as certain as the rev olu-
tons of the earth. Above ali don't
be spasmodic, but regarding this like
any other branch of business, treat
it as such. Every prominent adver
tiser will testify TO the truth of these
and furthermore they will |
tell You it will never do to stop |
Constant effort is required here as
elsew here, and they who fail To Oh |
serve the rule will learn its truthful |
ness by sad experience and At their
own cost Never withdraw from the /
ewes ofcustoniers the best and most |
sign you can put there. III
YOU do they will be attracted by |
that of another and soon forget both /
YOU and your wares.

Marston and Peck, OF Chicago. THIS firm are
the largest manufacturers OF and wholesale
dealers in this class Of goods in the United

are prepared to offer to their customers the adj

ces of those houses who sell on time. To any

Twines, Matches, Paper, Brushes, etc. etc.
we would say, give this enterprising firm a
trial, and we are satisfied they will convince
you of their ability to sell for cash at prices de-
