The "MOncy Power"

This great and growing monster whicl
threatens, like some mighty ogre, tc
swallow us all, is awakening the fears
of all thinking and patriotic mer
throughout the land. Hon. Montgome
ry Blair has Just written letter on thi;
topic, of which we find the following
notice in the observation-disclosures
"Montgomcry Blair has written a let
ter demonstrating the causes of the
Liberal defeat, the chief of which was
our failure to make square issue witt
the growing "mOncy power" Of the
country. The history Of the rise and
progress of this money power in the
United States is full of interest and vel
calculated to excite alarm. 1t is un.
questionably the most dircful enemy
with which we have to contend. 1t is
an element that is generally enlisted OH
the side of tyranny, and in all ages has
proved its most powerful ad junct, and
against it the most vigorous and inneXi-
bic energies Of the co,ntry's patriotism
must be directed. 1t is growing with
alarming rapidity, and the public mind
is not yet quickcncd to a realization OF
its mighty influence. This must be
done, for if the infant Hercules is not
stranglcd in its cradle it will live long
to opprcss md torment us. We must
crush out ''its venom and its strength"
and we must do so speedily.

Advances Constitute IL Lien.

A suit in the United States Circuit
Court recently brought by the Wiscon-
sin Fire and Marine Insurance Compa-
ny to recover from David DAVIS and
others advances made by the company
on 10000 bushels Of wheat, the advances
having been transferred to \. II, Smith
Il Co., who transferred the wheat to
the defendants and failed to pay the all
vance made upon it by the plaintiffs,
has been settled, the jury awarding
the plaintiff S36,27S. The plaintiffs con-
tended that the advances were in the
nature of lien on the wheat following
it until the advances were repaid. 1t
was contcndcd by the defence that as
they had purchased the wheat in good
faith they were not liable, and that the
payment Of advances made to q second
party could not be enforced against a
third party purchasing of the second
party in good laith-thc remedy of the
party making the advance being against
the second party, the one to whom the
advances were directly made.
Thanksgiving Day seems TO have been
generally observed by the daily press.

Corn as an American Staple.


In good seasons we raise something
over one thousand million bushels OF
corn in the United States ;and allowing
as high an average as twenty bushels
per acre, mora than fifty million acses
are planted to this crop. In the SoIth
and west very little pains is taken to
prevent the washing Of corn ground,
when the crop is growing, or for sever
al years after, if allowed to rest. This
is great error in farming. At the last
working Of corn, a fine tooth harrow
should be used to make the soil fine,
clean and level, to prevent water run
ming between tic rows. Instead ofpcr-
mitting the ground to lie Naked or
grow up in weeds, it should be seeded
at once with clover and grass seed in
the standing corn. The new crop will
not grow to do any harm before the
corn is ripe; while the fall growth shell
ters the otherwise nakcdncss Of recent
ly titled land, prevents surface wash
