The Currency thinkers.

The indications are multiply ing
that financial questions and PROPOSE
tions in all the various phases and
shapes of imitation and contractions
convertibility and elasticity, resum p-
ton at nearer or. at more remote
periods, limitation of present bank
ING privileges, and the authorization
of new banks without issue, will
largely monopolize the slime of the
present session in Congress. f,s s.-1
In the midst of all these indica-
tions, it is very gratifying to reflect
that the very diversity of the schemes
suggested, and the consciousness of
each legislator that he is the origina-
tor of the only feasible financial
measure that can with any safety be
adopted, are absolute guarantees
that there will be no agreement on
any one plan that will be likely to
have avery damaging effect upon the
currency of the country. .... ....
We beg our able fnanciers in Con-
gress, each and every one Of them,
to hold on to his own plan, and in.
sist upon it that it embOdies every
thing in the way of skillful treatment
that can possibly be suggested. The
country cannot feel safe in any other
way. Then while the Legislators are
insisting and persiSting each on his
own plan, the financial system will
go on working off the bad blood that
has got into its veins, and it will come
to be generally understood that none
Of the money we have is available for
merely speculative purposes. .5s..
This after all is the point upon
which the final disposition of the
financial problem turns-whether or
not the money that we now have
shall be confined to use for legiti-
mate commercial and mechanicalpuF-
poses. We find, growing belief
among business men that the supply
of currency is nearly quite an ample
if its use can thus be restricted. In
deed, there are some men, we'll post
ed in financial matters, who do not
hesitate to express the belief that,
as a result Of the late disturbances,
effecting the withdrawal of vast
amount of capital from merely
speculative fields, we are soon to
have in the regular markets sur
prising condition of monetary ease.
Perhaps it may be easy to find those
who, having good regulations as
inanciers, are strongly inclined TO
the extreme opposite view, and he
lieve that protracted stringency is to
prevail.
This wide divergence of views,
however, renders it all the safer, we
think, to adhere to the moderate
method of tinkering the currency to
the very smallest extent possible.
But, at the same time, we repeat we
are really to do any required amount
of patient listening to everything
that the Lawmakers at Washington
have to say on the subject. Let the
oratory proceed.-Cincjnnat Times.

10 Prof. Louis Agassiz, distin-
guished naturalist and scientist, died
in Boston, Mass, on. the 14th inst.
More than than a quarter century
ago he came to this country, and at
once identified himself with our sci
entiic progress. From the hour he
first set foot upon our shores, the
Professor recognized his own true
position of the great missionary Of
science to the New World. From
city to city he travelled, preaching
the gospel Of his belief, and awaken.
ing in the breasts of others some
thing of the ardor of his own. Under
his direct tuition many of our most
prominent young naturalists laid the
foundation of their knowledge. Our
Older men Of science acknowledged
him for leader, and he became con-
nected with our foremost scientific
undertakings.

The outlook for Corn.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune is
of opinion that the corn crop this
year will not exceed that of 1871,
and that prices must rise. The farm
ers, it would appear, are disappornt-
ed at the way the corn "pans out.
The number of hogs in Illinois is
variously estimated from u to SO
millions, and these, with cattle,
horses, ETC., will consume an enorm-
Gus quantity of corn. The supplies
at shipping points are estimated at
100000 bushels less than in 1872.
The crop in November, 1869, was
calculated at S94, 100000 bushels.
The calculation this year was 858,
600. 600, showing a reduction of Sc
millions of bushels. with amuch larg-
er market. In 1862, when they were
at the lowest, corn was exceedingly
cheap, and not more than 25 cents
was realized by the farmer. The
price is now 47c. at Chicago and
74c. here, but the market is not
inundated, as. we prophesied. The
demand promises to be large for
Europe, while the uncertainty as to
the ability of the railroads to bring
in ali the freight pressing upon them
may reasonably be expected to
stiffen prices. a
If, as is probable, corn enters more
generally than heretofore into the
consumption of some of the Con-
tinental countries this year, q fur
ther enhancement of values is proba-
BILE. The French and Belgians, it is
well known, are averse to the use of
any cereal but wheat. The present
year is an exceptional one in Eu-
rope as well as in this country and
the demand not only for food. but
for cheap food. win be Imperative. -
