BANKING AND CURRENCY SCHEMES.
The Washington correspondent of the
Near York Times writes, Dec. Z: sit has
been represented that the majority of the
House Committee OH Banking and Cur
rency were in favor of free banking, or a
further issue Of National bank notes. but
the committee appears to be quite evenly
divided. 1t is thought that Messrs. May
nard, Hawley, Phelps, Randall, and Nit
chell hold conservative views on finance.
MeSsrs. Farwell and Merriam have each a
plan for free banking and an elastic cur
rency, Mr.. Merriam uniting practical re-
demptiOn. The opinions of the remaining
four members are not publicly known. 1t
is presumed from their locality that they
favor an increase in the volume of the cur
rency. The opinions of the members
favoring imitation are so diverse as to the
methods for affecting it, that in a majority
their agreement on any one scheme is quite
improbable. The proposition to repeal the
sixth section of the National Banking act,
which authorizes a withdrawal of S25,000,-
600 from the Eastern States, for distribu-
ton in the West and South, and the pas
sage. Of a law in connection with this re-
peal, providing for an issue of S25,000,000
additional seems to meet with considerable
favor in Congress. The advocates of this
prOpOSitiOn.are busily working for it, and
maintain that the representatives of the
different sections will be more nearly I'M
animOus upon this than upon any other
financial question. They believe many
New England votes can be obtained for it
for the reason that it will render unneces-
sary the execution of the mandatory sec
ton Of the Banking act requiring the with
drawal OF currency from the East, and that
the Eastern members will concede the issue
of the additional SIS, 900 upon condition
that their own circulation shall be left I'M
disturbed. 1t is also urged in favor of this
proposition tl.at an additional 100000
practically gives the West free banking.
The Controller of the Currency states that,
according to the experience of his Office,
S25,OOO,000 would supply all applications
for currency for new bank organizations in
the West and South for three years.

the way of loaning, but they are all doing
an active business in the way of discount

are very abundant ON the market and are

Literature.

The american Farmers -1dco-
cate comes to hand for March, lit
tie behind time, but the delay is ac-
counted for by its improved APP
pearance. The publishers, who
have from the commencement
shown unusual enterprise in giving
a greater amount of reading mat
ter, and of quality unexcelled,
have made one great improvement
after another. With this No. they
commence printing upon fine pa
per, from clear, new type, furnish
ing as heretofore sixteen large
pages of reading matter, stitched
and cut. Every farmer and every
business man should take it, and
the publishers have adopted q plan
which enables everybody to obtain
it without cost. BY sending them

priced paper or magazine they fur
uish the Adrocote as a premium,
without extra charge. The sub
scription price is singly 81, or in

DR.. Maiden's Condition.

Last week we received a letter
from Mrs. Maiden, and knowing
that many of our citizens are inter
ested in the recovery and return of
the doctor, we print the following
portion of it, from which our rea-
dcrs may learn how he is getting
along, and how soon he expects to
return:
ave have TO thank our very kind
friend, Mr.. j. n. Tiff OF this city, for
copies of the ARGUS, as he receives them.
You cannot know how much pleasure we
find in reading the local columns of home
newspapers Alpena, though we are far
away,-is still dear to us, having resided
there during its growth from H1Ding
UHldge to a prosperous city; and 1t gives
both the doctor and myselfgrcat comfort
i'm our series OF losses and Affections, to
know that many warm and tenderly true
friends at home are still caring for us,
and aiding us by prayers ana letters
breathing tangible sympathy. we are
also extremely fortunate in our nc;s
| friends whom our affecting circumstances
have drawn around us in this city and
DR.. Maiden's professional requirements
have recently received the marked ap
probation of an 'dd eundum' degree from
Bellevue Hospital Medical College. The
| Faculty gave him the required examina
ton at our lodgings, as he lay helpless
in bed, and that the usual rery right eX
| IN IN - fhaU Uh 4
satisfactory is fair proof that the doctor
is mentally almost as good as new. A.
for his physical health, the cxsection o
his hip point, has proved a complete
success. Seven weeks have elapsc since
that critical operation, and the cut is al
most healed, and the new point is un
doubleday forming properly. lie is nov
able to 90 across the room OH his crutches
and set up half or an hour at time
lie cannot reasonably expect to do withou
n cane and crutch for some months 4
come. The new joint must have careful
and sufficient support In its early stages
However, there can be 10 question tina
he will not only entirely recover hi
health and general freedom from pain
but he will also have as good use of til
new hip joint us of any other, and so wi
i'm the end, he much less lame than h
} has ever been in Alpena. In fact, h
will then be able to resume his oil
practice complete. We hope and expec
to return home soon after the opening G
navigation our expenses will thus b
considerably lessened and the docto
will be able soon to practice agail
With regard from DIR. Maiden.
Yours Respectfully

The Grcat Storm.

If it wasn't so well known than
an editor "cannot tell o lie," we
should be almost afraid to tell our
far away readers that since Tuesday
evening snow has fallen to the depth
of about eighteen inches. The
Stages are day behind time, and
we have had no mail since Tuesday.
This is "winter lingering in the lap
of spring." with q persistence as
unlocked for as it is unpleasant
The storm, which was accompanied
by violent gale, is supposed to
have been general, and with a sud
den thaw will help greatly IN get
ting logs down on the various
streams.-Id,cas Gazette.
We doubt il the storm could
have been much more violent any.
where than in this locality. The
roads were completely blocked In
many places with huge snow drifts
and the stage due here "Wednesday
night did not arrive until Friday
forenoon. However, by that time
the weather had considerably mod
Grated, and on Saturday morning
wheels took the place Of runner
over the stage road, and that, toe
i'm rain storm.

PAY Up.-As spring is now open
ing, and we, like other people, have
bills to settle, which cannot be done
unless we get what is our due, we
call Oh each and every one indebted
to us to pay up at once. We can
not do business on the credit sym
TEN forever without a settlement,
and as the printers "mighty dol
lars" are i'm hundreds of mems peck
cts. scattered over broad territory
there is no such thing rs attempt
ing to collect them il any Other
way than to have our debtors cone
and settle. How can you reasona-
bly, expect your local papers to i'm
prove if you never think of paying
your little printers bills! We have
several hundred dollars standing
around in driblets of two dollars
here and four dollars in another
place, which, if all brought together
would enable us to make the paper
better and larger, and it would also
make every one of our subscribers
feel that he had q clearer conscience,
having settled with the printer
business is business, and we wish
to do business in O business-like
manner. Then pay up.
