which may reduce these fifty to forty mil
lions; then comes the insurance, which
takes off, perhaps, centon the bushel, and
the storage that reduces It perhaps another
cent. All these come cut Of the twenty
cents q bushel net hft the Western
farmer after the rings are done with him.
At the same time the monarch Of snow
and hail breathes his orders in tempest
over the North seas, the vessels laden with
the farmers corn are sunk or stranded,
the miserable immigrants are huadled
into boats, which are stove on the iron
bound coast of Canada.
Turn, corn farmers, to your natural
way to market. Regard the mild and
noble Mississippi. YoI find its calm and
ample waters bearing your products upon
its untaxed current. You enjoy the
balmy climate that otfeE perpetual spring

goes. Send your grain fom our port; you
need neither insure against icebergs, snow
storms, rocks, reefs no hurricanes. You
may send the product Of the largest farm in
our barges, and it will be taken at a single
cargo on our vessels.
Corn farmers of the West why not
flank the blockade of tie ice king and the
ring of railroad robes that are in con-
spiracy with him? Tie Mississippi is
your own. You haN bought it; you
have fought for it, 1t your friend and

A LONG TINE TO WAIT.

If it is the intention of our banks to
hold on to the peoples money until every
shakey firm in New Orleans can pay its
debts, we may cease to hope for any
change for the better during this genera
ton. What has the question of one mans
honesty to do with another's ability to
take up his note? 1t is something more
than suspicious when the banks are to
invent a new excuse every day for their
shortcomings.
At first suspension was justified on the
ground that the East and West wanted to
cast off all our greenbacks. Then it was
found that three or four banks could not
toe the scratch. Now certain weak "big"
houses want paper renewed. And all the
time the banks are violating their own
rules by indirect means. Money goes on
the street at two and one-half per cent a
month. Checks are daily bought in at
three. Money is plenty enough for both
these purposes. Instead of demanding
gold for cotton, as some over ambitious
writers demanded, we see the planters
compelled to accept currency three per
cent below greenbacks. National cur
rency was not good enough few months
ago. Now our banks have demonstrated
that We can not even get that.
No city in the world can prosper under
such burdens as now affiict New Orleans.
Money can not be had for less than two
per cent a month. Three per cent is often
demanded and paid. When the contract
is made checks are rendered in lieu Of
cash, which are three per cent below par.
This makes actually five or six per cent a
month for the hire of money for thirty
days. So long as such enormous profits
can be realized, the banks, especially the
weak ones, will be in no hurry to eyade
the terms Of their notarial contract But
about the time they get very strong under
such system, the business community
will be too weak to run down hill,
We think it would not be out of place
to call mass meeting to protest against
such shameful treatment.

SPANISH HUMANITY AGAIN.

We copy from the liverpool Mail the
decision which follows upon the reckless
brutality of a Spanish captain of mer-
chant steamer COMMITTED upon British
vessel, upon trial for damages in
the Admiralty Court, london, before the
Hon. Sir r. J. Phillimre:
THIS was a cause damage and was
brought by the owners of the ship North
feet in respect TO III collision between
that ship and the steamship MurillO on the
night of the twenty-ecOnd Of January
last. The Murillo had been arrested, but
no appearance was etered on behalf of
her owners, and she retained under arrest.
Mr.. Butt, Queens cousel (Mr. PhilhmOre
with him) now moved 5he court for de-
cree cOndemuing the NIrillo in the damage
and ordering her to belOld. He said that
the facts of the case approved by the aft
davits were that abot 1890 2. M. of the
twenty-secOnd of January last the
Northheet was at anchT in the Dungeness
Roads in a fair berth nth bright light
burning, and nothing prevent the light
from being seen trOma considerable dis
lance, when she was stuck by the Murillo,
and, notwithstanding he cries of women
and others for assistance, the MurillO
backed out and Immediately steamed away
and in about half an aour the Northfleet
sank, and 297 out OF ahut 344 persons on
board the ship were drwned.
Sir R. j. Phillimos, one of the most
eminent judges of International law in the
world, did not conteI himself with rem
dering legal judgmOt-did not repress
his horror for the wilul murder of nearly
three hundred men, Vmen and children,
and for the fendish difference to human
suffering which abanoned them without
offer of aid. The migrant judge said
grant the prayepf the motion which
has Just been made 0 me, but i do not
think | ought to cOnnt myself with the
mere discharge of thaDart of my office. |
find it difficult to exprs in adequate terms
the Indignation which the brutality and
meanness of those who had charge Of the
Murillo must excite inthe bosom of every
man not void of the rdinary feelings Of
humanity. This case ldeed, represents all
the cruelty without az of the courage of
the pirate.
If this decree coulthave been satisfied
by an apology it woul not have cost the
| Spaniard q cent.

The Times displayits ignorance of the
law, and makes unibstantiated charges
against the tax assessrs in its editorial on
the subject of Assessments. 1t is true
that Judge Hawkinahas never failed to
reduce an over assement where such
fact has been proven, the satisfaction of
the court; but it is n, true that the 'as-
sessment of propertyat two-thirds of its
cash valuation is q ell established pre-
cedent' here, or thathe court or the Au-
ditor will be likely permit such pre-
cedent to be establhed under existing
statutes. Section fey-one of Mr.. Gin
tons official compilion Of the revenue
laws, which our nehbor will profit in
many ways by perusg, emphatically de-
clares that all taxab property shall be
assessed sat a fair ca valuation.
Such reckless stahents as the Times
article referred to cdains misleads prop
erty-owners into elief that they have
been illegally dealt til, causing them to
indulge in unjust al acrimonious refec-
tons upon public acers, who are from
the same cause great embarrassed in the
discharge of their dies. And we make
this contradiction oanother assertion of
our contemporary; lder assessment in
stead of over yaluon is the great evil,
and particularly is is the case with re-
gard TO capital in .de, stocks and per-
