TIE CANAL QuKsTIod.

The practical question before the Consti-
tutional Convention, as regards the canal
and river improvement, is whether the
Legislature shall be e1prcsaly prohibited
from making appropriations for this
aud SIMILAR works. We aasu1na that
the creation Of State debt for such pu1-
pose vii, be prohibited, as it ought 10 be.
We assume, also, that the selling Of the
anal will be prohibited, unless npon some
such contingency IS vote Of the people.
Tho canal is already mortgaged to the city
Of Chicago for more than it is worth in its
present condition, and is, therefore, not The
subject OF sale 10 anybody else Tho crea-
ton This mortgage wasnot, assome people
suppose, piece Of sharp prnctice put upon
other portions OF the State By tho city Of
Chicago. The summit level, which is now
being deepeaed with our money, is sap-
piled With water from the Calumet Feeder,
tho pumping engines at Bridgeport being
used only to supply deficiencies in that
stream To bring water from the Calumet
into the canal a dam Was constructed, which
caused the water to set bsck and overflow

foHE1Ga TRADE AHD HIGH PRICES.

tvdEAta 10AUA AQ0 AANA 1A4GA1s
One disastrors 1esnl. Of the increase Of |
paper money, and Of the taxation imposed
upon TIE people since the beginning Of the
WEI, has been such q rise OF the prices Of !
our products as to render it impossible to
cauy On onr foreign trade with advantage.
In seeking the best method by which these
high p1ices may be 80 brought down that
cur foreign trsde may be resumed with
profit, it is important to know which Of the !
two,-the currency OF tho taxation, ,-hAshad
nost effect in causing high prices, and
thus find ont which II Is most easentiAl for
Us to hsve 1essened or removed. Ii 4 re-
turn to specie payments or tightening Of
taxes more important or a1e they Of
equal importance 2
That An increase Of money rnises prices
~e all understand, and also thas this rise Of
prices takes place Il the same way, whether
tha cur1eucy be redeemAble or irredeemA-
bln- WhateTer The kind Of money. either
CON OF paper, prices 1iae or fall, as the
quantity Is either larger or smaller, and
when the expansion or contraction ceases
p1ices adjust themselves e1sctly to the
uuapti.7 ont, aud 1ftez that are governed
ty supply and demand and the genera
lavs Of trade. Whether general prices are
high or low is Of very slight influence On
prpductiop, but sudden or violent vnria-
tiors Of prices are sure to check enterprise
snd cripple industry. 4 paper cur
reucy, so long as it il convertible
into specie, is as steady in value as specie
Tho fluctuations a1c caused by its
vkriatiops in amount, and paper money Ii
1nnss subject to AuctuAte because the guam
tity can be 90 readily altered By those who
are privileged to make And issue it. Fluc-
tuahons may also be caused by changes In
tho supply Of the medium in which the crr-
1ency is convertible, and, SO long as ous
psper is convertible into legal tenders, NC
arc in greater danger Of fluctuations than II
it we're convertible into coin only, TO. th.
reasou that the supply Of gzeenbaeks /:

Iatiue combinations and loek-ups- So far
then, as fluctuations in values hinder th
employment Of capital, by increasing his
and 10 raise prices TO cover risks, it mn.
he admitted ths4 thus far our high prict
can be traced to our currency.
Whether resumption of specie psJ

MON the course taken. II resumptis
ahould follow contraction, p1ioea would fal
but, il there be no previous contraction,

COTT0H DEALERS ARD PRODUCERS
GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

G. W. Payne q Co, cotton gin man
ufacturers, Us Poplar street, have
made an improvement in cotton gins,
the simplicity and great value of which
will soon be questioned. A series Of
curved iron fingers inserted spirally in
a cylinder distribute the cotton seed as
they fall from the gin over the points of
the gin Jaws. Each single seed Is thus
brought in contact with the saws and
thoroughly stripped of lint. Forty-hve
pounds Of cotton is thus saved from the
seed taken by a common gin from a bale
and a half. The cost of this gin with 10
saws will be $3.50. One has been used with
great profit for twelve months by the
Bluff City Oh Works, and another oil
company has ordered two of these i'm
proved gins. Carver's gin has an attach
ment for the same purpose, but this Of
PAYNE &CO. will gather 100 per cent. more
lint from the same quantity Of seed. The
cotton saved by this machine is such as is
now sold for sixteen to eighteen cents.
Between three and four thousand pounds
Of cotton is saved on each n hundred
bales. Merchants aud farmers should
examine this gin.
