CORN, COTTON ANO CURRENCY

LippincotcS Magazine for November,
1871, has forcible article from the pen of
kmasa Walker on the subject of "Corn,
Cotto and Currency" The price of corn
and ,tton, including wheat, is fixed by
their value in gold in Liverpool and Lon
don. Whatever that may be, it regulates
values in New York, Boston, Baltimore
and st. Louis. The same rule applies to
the sale of meat, cheese, butter and other
provisions of which we export large quanti-
ties. The great agricultural class sells the
products of its labor bya gold currency.
By what currency does it hire lsborers to
work on the farm, or on cotton planta-
ton? By paper currency and high tar
iif, that raise the prica of labor about fifty
per cent above the specie standard of 1860.
Here is a government yard-stick that is
two feet long for one class of citizens, and
three feet long for another class.
Farmers who raise cotton, corn,
wheat, cut meats, butter, cheese,
tobacco, and other staples, for foreign con-
sumption, have no benefit from high pro-
tective tariff and an inflated paper curren-
cy of some seven hundred million dollars.
No matter how cheap a farmer can pur-
chase cotton, wooden, leather, iron, steel,
and all ether foreign manufactures, he is
forbidden by law to toach any article of
the kind without paying an enormous tax
for the privilege. This restraint on free
trade is exceedingly injurious to commerce;
and while putting one dollar into the treas
ury it takes ten dollars out of the pocket Of
the farmer, who really drags up hill
the government load, chained
to the short end of the evener.
That American system, which burns
corn in the West because it is cheaper
than coal and fre-wood, which sells thirty
million bushels of corn year In England,
because it is cheaper there than wheat straw
for cattle, is ruin to the farmer, and desola-
ting the virgin soil Of the continent, while
building up mammoth fortunes for a few
manufacturers. OF the five hundred mil
lion dollars extra, more or less, that 90
into their coffsrs every year, in profits
taken from the pockets Of the people, how
much finds its way into the National treas
uryP When farmers in East Tennessee give
two prices for Virginia salt, does the money
accumulated at%Saltvile, pay our public
debt? This whole system of taxing heavily
one class Of citizens to enrich another class,
is no better than legal robbery. 1t is the
cotton lax en- q five fold larger scale. Every
clear beaded man should see that govern
merit favoritism will destroy the govern
ment 1t is civil war in disguise, and grow
ing worse from year to year.

Has Grant a Cabinet
WASHINGTON, March 5--The only i'm
mediate change in the cabinet will be in
the Secretaryship of the Treasury, should
the present incumbent be elected to the
Senate of the United States. The opinion
that the President need not renominate the
present members of the Cabinet for confir-
nation by the Senate, is Strengthened by
the fact that all of them were at their res
pecttve departments to-day, attending to
their official duties, and its said by gentle
men in executive positions that no such
denominations will be made.
President Grant to-day promoted Levi
z. Luckey, Of Illinois, to be his private sec
rotary; G. G. Sniffen, assistant private SEQ
rotary, and @. ID. Pruden, executive clerk.
These promotions are in accordancs with
the principles of civil service reform.

A SECRET FOR LADIES. Oatmeal is
good for something besides food. All
young ladies who desire white hands will
please harken. 1t is only necessary to
sleep in pair Of boxing-gloves, and for q
bath oatmeal is excellent. If economically
inclined and country bred, it can be fed to
the horses and cattle as oatmeal mash after
being used. Oatmeal contains small
amount of oil that is good for the skin. To
make the hands soft and white, one of the
best things is to wear at night large NIT
tens of cloth filed with wet bran or oatmeal,
and tied closely at the wrists. A lady who
had the whitest, soltest hands in the country
confessed that she had great deal Of
Homework to do, and kept them white as
any idler's by wearing bran mittens every
night. The paste and poultices for the
face owe most OF their efficacy to their
moisture which desolves the old coarse
skin, and to their protection from the air,
which allows the new skin to become ten
der and delicate. Oatmeal paste is as
efficaciOus as anything, though less agree
able than paste made with the white of
egg, alum and rose water. The alum as
tringes the flesh and makes it firm, while
the egg keeps it sufficiently soft, and the
rost water perfumes the mixture and
makes the curd not so hard.

The Local Editor. Dream.

Once upon time q local editor dreamed
that he was dead, and in another world.
He approached the gate Of city before
him and knocked for admittance. but no
one answered his summons. The gate ro-
named closed against him. Then he cried
aloud for an entrance, but the only response
were scores of heads appearing above the
wall on each side of the gate. At sight of
him the owners Of the heads set up dis
NAL howl. and one Of them cried "Why
didn't you notice the big egg gave you ?''
At this horrid and most unexpected interro-
CATION, thepoor local turned in the direction
OF the voice to learn its owner, when an
other voice shrieked: "Where's the piece
you were going to write about my soda
fountain? And close upon that was the
awful demand, Why did you write a
piece about old Peddle's fence and never
say word about my new gate ?' What
ever answer he was about to make to this
appeal was cut abruptly off by the aston
ishing query, "What did you spell my
name wrong in the programme for 2" The
miserable man turned to flee, when he was
rooted to the spot by this terrible demand,
"Why did You put my marriage among the
deaths?" He was on the point of saying
the foreman did it, when shrill voice
madly cried, "What made you put in my
runaway and spoil the sale of my horse ?'
And this was followed by the voice of a
female hysterically proclaiming, "This is
the brute that botched my poetry, and
made me ridiculous!' Whereupon hum
dreds Of voices screamed: Where's my
article? Give me back my article" And
in the midst of the horrid din the poor
wretch awoke, perspiring at every pore,
and screaming for help. The next day he
resigned, and We had to hunt up another
local editor. 3aTi 1ia
