money etrlneencx.

Our observation OF the present con-
dition of the finances, convinces us
that never since the close of the re-
bellion, has there been so great a
scarcity ofmoneyin circulation among
our people hererabouts as now. This
scarcity seems to. be general through
out the whole country. The Bank
of London, good index to financial
ease or stringency in Europe, showed
a short time past that there was dearth
Of money there, recently, however, it
has exhibited marked signs of let
ting up in this regard. It has been al
legged, that the payment of French In
demnity Fund to Germany, and the
recoining of the same by the latter ma
ton into its own coin, has put
out of circulation between one and two
hundred millions of specie, and that
this tells upon the money market, and is
really the prime cause of the strin-
gency. 1t is claimed that this made
| money close in Europe, and as con-
sequence, recalled capital from this
country, which was here seeking in
vestmenk
The correctness Of the above, prom
ises as q cause for the scarcity Of
money, we will not undertake to
pass upon, but mention it as reason
urged by some gentlemen who ought
to, and do have some knowledge of the
causes for financial fluctuations.

This session of Congress is polite of
projects to make water communities
ton across the United States east and
west. The great west is demanding
move Of this kind, while on the 9TH
or hand relief is sought by having the
general government control the rates
freight on the railroads.
There is proposition introduced
for the building Of a ship canal around
Niagra Falls at cost ofsay $l2, 900, 900
and to be free from tolls.
Another proposition which Presi-
dent Grant recommended to be con-
sidered is the James river canal con.
Meeting the Ohio river with the sea-
board; and still another is to get wa.
ter communication by way of the Ten.
nessee river through to the Atlantic.
These are oil stupendous projects
especially the latter, and go to show
strongly that there is an urgent de
mand for free highways of wate
across the country to make cheaper thu
moving of the produce TO the eastern
market.
The great West is power in thi
hand and rapidly becoming more so
its voice is very potential and mus
be heard. We look forward In th
near future for relief by some mean
furnished to prevent extortion b.
capital in the matter of the Transports
lion of the products Of the west.

OvEaGRowN .HoGs.-There is noi
one single advantage to be claimed in
favor of big hogs. There never was
monster hog which did not make the
man who raised him pay for every
pound he weighed. They do not fur
nish an ounce OF meat gratis. but
charge full price for every atom Of
their carcass. When slaughtered, il
takes long time to get one cool to the
marrow in the bone and then when
the hams are put In salt, it is trouble
some TO iinish them to the centre. Four
hundred live weight is as large as
hogs should be In order to make
good bacon. Beyond this size there
Is loss somewhere. Either the feed
er. butcher or consumer is cheated.
and as a general thing every one who
has anything 10 do with the big hog
will find, il he observes closely, thai
they are not soprositable AS the smooth
nice hog OF only $50 pounds weight.
A small head, with little upright ears.
and legs and ears delicate to perfection
are marks which indicate the greatest
amount of food consumed: and it will
always draw more readily the atten-
tion Of every butcher.

Since the Legislature Of his own
State has placed its seal of condem-
nation very pointedly upon Charles
Summers resolution to expunge from
the record, the names of the battles of
the rebellion, it now remains to be
seen what he will do in the premises.
II is hoped that he may not trans-
fer his wrath towards the President,
to the Legislature of his own State,
because he might be placed in the
still further uncomfortable position in
such an event of being asked to re-

The Credit Mobilier investigation
is waking up some of the members
of Congress to such a pitch that they
exhibit tall specimens of ground and
lofty tumbling, in the way of ex-
planation. Let this matter be probed
to the bottom, is our motto.
If any member Of Congress can
fairly be shown to have been in
fluenced In his legislative action, by
reason of having been holder of
stock in the Pacific road, justice and
indemnity for the future, demands the
fullest expose of such member.
If any man lobbying through any
thing in connection with the road,
had any dealings with any member
of Congress, in regard to stock, il
should be siftcd to the bottom and the
people of the whole country know it.

to defend himself from imputation o.

from the west to the Atlantic seaboard,
save one, and that is the building of
ship canal around the Niagra Falls.
The reason for its disgraceful TRADE is
obvious. It would have Chicago
levy tolls upon western produce by be-
ing confined to the railways centering
at that city, while it sees in the Niagra
canal advantage to Chicago, located at
the foot of Lake Michigan, in getting
an eastern outlet for her grain dealers
by way of such canal.
The Tribune fiattered itself that it
had the people Of the Northwest under
its thumb politically, that it could sell
and transfer them at pleasure, in all Of
which it was sadly mistaken. Because
five years ago it was enabled to over
throw the Republican party of Chi
cago in city election by . coalition
with the Times, it had grown carrion
proud and vaunted itself hugely. Its
wings. however, have been sadly clip
ped, and it is now in its wrath, become
the scavenger for monopolies lin fact it
takes almost any side to be contrary
aud give vent to its passions. 1t is

the country, the Ishmaelite of the press,
the paper with sore head, that is dog
gedly continuing to inf1ame it and
mako it worse by its peculiar way Of

M VINO CATALINA.

The announcement that has been so gladly re-
ceived throughout the country that Importations
have again commenced of the FL Vino Catalina
or Browns Wine Tonic, by an American Com
pany, with every facility for supplying the trade,
is a matter Of no small importance, and will be
hailed with joy by thousands that are seeking q
Pure and lnvigorating Tonic: and also those
who need pure pleasant and refreshing stimu-
liant, will find in the Ell Vino Catalina what they
want. 1t will be remembered that importations
were made in 1866 of these noted Btters long
celebrated for their medical qualities, but in con-
sequence of the high duty then demanded by
this Government importations ceased to the re-
greet OF thousands that had learned its value. II
is the Oldest Tonic in the World. Natures tom
ic drawn from the Catalina Grape of the Tropics.
1t is the purest, best and most invgorating of
all tonics, and if importations continue at the
rate now started it will soon take it's place in
every family in this as we'll as the Old Countries.
Its merits alone will make it household article.
And we would advise everybody that needs a
pure tonic and safe stimulant to try at least one
bottle of Ell Vino Catalina, and then decide
whether in the future they will use the tonic pre-
pared from the delicious Catalina Grape of sun
ny Spain with Calisaya and the Spies of Ceylon,
or Bitters made of common whiskey and bitter
field herbs. Ell Vino Catalina is invaluable in
weakness and debility. 1t relieves morning lam
guor and gives freshness to both mind and body
