the Speakers chair might be too
often in their way. 1t is also quite
doubtful whether a combination OF
protectionists could in any event
succeed as such in the House.
The question OF tariff cannot
be as prominent at the OPEN
ing of the next Congress as
it has been for some years past, and
the belief is that ii will not play a
very important part in the election
of Speaker.
1t is possible that the Credit Mo-
bilier question may come up in eau
Gus, and so all candidates for the
Speakership be relieved from re-
sponsibility by the action then
taken. But as the combinations, as
well as all promises, must precede
the caucus, the consideration of the
question by that body might not
greatly change the result.
So far as a conclusion can be ven
tured upon from the indications
here, 1t is that Mr.. Blaine will be
reelected, and that Dawes, Gar
field, Schofield and Kelley will not
be called upon to answer further on
account of Credit Wash

ABOUT ST. LOUIS.

At meeting last week of the
St. Louis clearinghouse associa-
ton, it was agreed that the banks
of that city should resume curren-
cy payments Monday, the 9th
inst. In nearly ali the other
cities, excepting New York, the
banks suspended for only a few
days, and the continued suspen-
sion in st. Louis has injured that
city very greatly. But we begin
to belive that the bankers are less
to blame than the merchants.
The mass of the business men
of st. Louis are extremely selfish,
and during the panic they have
been sending out orders to coun-
try merchants who owe them, or
are doing business with them, tel
ling them to send only currency
in payment of their bills or for
new orders. We are reliably in
formed that the general practice
in st. Louis has been, as soon as a
merchant received a remittance
from his country customers, to go
and sell the currency to some
broker at from one to three per
cent. premium, and usually these
brokers send the money east, OF
use it in discounting bank paper.
A few days since party in this
place sent to st. Louis a check OF
draft, and this was returned here
for collection, the instructions be-
ing to collect only in exchange on
New York. The beauty of this is
that New York exchange is worth
a premium of from two to three
per cent, and if a man wanted
such an exchange here he would
be compelled to 60 to St. Louis
for it, and yet the st, Louis bust
ness man had the hardihood te
demand payment in such paper
Such business men do not deserve
pity, and if their customers con.
tinue to do business with then
then they deserve to be fleeced.
The city has done everything II
its power to drain the country o,
money, and the price of all pro
duce has been forced down, be
cause the money necessary tt
handle it has been locked up

chanics are in a condition wherl

Of weekly and monthly payments, Is not
practicable with the more scattered and
transient popul ation Of this country. In
the system now presented by the Nilsson.
ri Valley Life Insurance company, this
objection Is obviated, and a plan offered
peculiarly adapted TO all persons desiring
insurance in small amounts, with but
few terms and conditions; also to lodges
and societies paying funeral benefits. or

the lives Of their members.
The Industrial policies issued by the
Missouri Valley Life Insurance company
are of the size and form OF a one hundred
dollar greenbaek; are each one hundred
dollars IN amount, the premiums for
which are paid semi-annually, in sums to
Drtng them within the reach OF all class
es: each Of whom may take one or more
policies, as he may be able to pay for, and
If he cannot, when the next payment
falls due. pay for all he holds, he may pay
on q portion of them, and not, as in ordi-
nary life insurance, lose the whole.
The Cost of these Policies

one d0iaC sell4i annually thereafter, as
long as the pslicy may continue in force,
it being limited according to age. Those
at 80 or under, during life-those over 80,

mortality. To this is to be added the
medical examiners fee, usually one doll

NAV paw an increased premium and have
their insurance continue during life.
Should the p?Tty fail to be examined, or
be declined by the company, the policy

THE MANUFACTURES OF THE NEW
TRADE DoLLAR.-We were shown
yesterday, at the works of Messrs.
Morgan d Orr, No. 1917 Callew-
hill street, the coming press just
built by. them for the purpose of
coming at the San Francisco mint
all denominations of silver and
gold coinage, but especially the
new trade dollar ordered by the
department of the mint.
This new machine weighs eight
cen thousand pounds, and is made
entirely of the best steel, iron and
brass produced in Philadelphia.
The steel plate above the coinage
stamp is homemade, and equal, if
not superior, to the finest English,
a fact that speaks well for our
Philadelphia steel industry. The
beautiful heavy brass beam was
cast seven times over to secure its
accuracy and exactness, as well as
finish and strength. The large
fiy-wheel was cast hollow, and
loaded with base metal, so as to
give additional weight to counter
balance the heavy brass beam.
The fiy-wheel was cast in sections
and securely united. In the front
of the machine is a finely made
brass cylinder to hold the IN
stamped coins, which, as the
wheel revolves, slip down one at q
time upon the sliding bed-pJate OF
iron, with apertures made to re-
ceive single coin; it is then
drawn into the machine, the stamp
descends, and the new trade dol
lar is carried out complete. by an
interior inclined plane. The
heavy brass beam referred to Of
course controls the stamp. Per.
feet simplicity characterizes the
machine, which is two and a hall
times beyond the capacity of any
other coming machine that the
firm ever made for the govern
ment. It's capable of striking

equal to $1,000, per minute, oil
