Marshan on Temperance.

Tom Marshall ION Temperance.
While representing the Ashland,
KY, district in Congress IN 1884,
Tom MARSHALL delivered his great
temperance speech in the ball o fthe
House Representatives before the
Congressional Total Abstinence So
ciety, which had been formed, for
the reformation of congressional
inebriates, : of whom MARSHALL
was said to have been. We give the
conclusion of his speech, which was
at that time pronounced the best
ever delivered:
Sir, would not exchange the physi-
cal sensations, the mere sense of animal
being, which belongs TO a man who TO-
tally refrains from all that can intoxi-
cate his brain OF derange his nervous
structure-the elasticity with which he
bounds from his couch in the morning
the sweet repose it yields him at night
the feeling with which he drinks in.
through his clear eyes, the beauty and
the grandeur of surrounding nature: |
say, sir, | would not exchange nv con-
sclous being as a strictly temperate
mantle sense of renovated youth-the
glad play with which my pulses now
beat healthfg music-the bounding Vi
vacity with which the life blood courses
its exulting way through every fibre of
my frame-thec communion high which
my healthful ear and eye now hold with
all the gorgeous universe of GOd-the
splendOr of the morning, the sOftness of
the evening sky-the bloom, the beauty,
the yerdure of the earth, the music OF
air and Waters-with all the grand as
sociatiOns of external nature reOpened
to the fine of sense; no, sir,
though poverty dragged me-thOugh
scOrn pointed Its slow finger at me as |
passed-though want and d%estitutiOn,
and every element of earthly misery,
save only crime, met my waking eye
from day to day; not for the brightest
and the noblest wreath that ever en-
cireled a statesman's brOw-not, if
some angel commissioned by heaven, or
some demon rather sent fresh from hell,
to test the resisting strength of y~irtuOus
resolution, should tempt me back, with
all the wealth and all the hOnors which
a world can bestow; not for all that
time and all that earth can give, would
| cast from me this precious pledge of a
liberated mind, this talisman against
temptation, and plunge again into the
dangers and horrors which one beset
my path; so help mi heaven, as | would
spurn beneath my very feet all the gifts
the universe could offer, and live and
die as ! am, poor and sober.

THE miseries of public debt are
strikingly illustrated by the conference
of Virginia bondholders in Richmond
last Tuesday. The scheme that met
most favor was "a proposition from re-
sponsible financial agents, who offer
the enactment of appropriate legisla-
tion," the proposers binding themselves
by contract. An offer to contract for a
specific line of legislation, however
praiseworthy or desirable the latter
NAV be in itself,'is certainly a startling
programme. We much mistake if the
old mother of States would even con-
niye at such an innovation upon free
institutions; and the capital is who
bite at the bait may find themselves
bitten. AS being fagrantly illegal,
such a contract could hardly be en-
forced in any court, State or Federal,
now that the country is returning to
constitutional principles. Such dubi-
GUS devices are calculated only to ag
gravate the people against the bond
holders. 1t may as well be understood,
last as first, that the sole guarantee
possible under free government lies
in the sturdy honesty Of the people
themselves.

roo MICH CREDTr.

Col. John H. Dent, of Floyd county,
Ga, who has been very successful
farmer since the war, says IN recent
letter to leading agricultural paper:
''There are three lessons that our farm
ers must learn before they viii become
successful again. The first is to re-
duce the area of their farms, and what
they undertake to do, do well; plant
less land, prepare it thoroughly, ma
nure profusely, cultivate judiciously,
and make one acre produce what three
now do. The second is to make the
farm self-sustaining is, raise their
supplies, and stop buying them; and
the third is to stop the credit system
and pay as they 60"
There is no doubt that Americans
suffer more losses and other incidental
injuries from too much credit, in nearly
all business operations, than any other
people in the world. The mistake has
been gradually expanding itself since
the first settlement of the colony of
Virginia. John Randolph, who was a
large and successful planter, did all be
could to correct this bad habit in the
class TO which he belonged. PAY as
you 90" was his maxim-his philoso-
piers stone. AT his decease his many
slaves were set free and removed to
Ohio. He regarded the institution as
harmful to the South, and the practice
of running into debt as the greatest
curse under which the country la
bored, since it makes the producing
classes support the non-prOducers in
idleness. If no one should borrow any
thing, and nobody should lend, our
business interests would soon be reor-
ganized on a currency basis, with a
system of fair exchange very different
indeed from what we now have.
Our farmers should lead the way in
this much needed reform. 1t is true
that the acknowledging power of agri-
cultural seeds and plants enables them
to pay big interest as safely as any
body; but this matter of interest is
generally a worm in the bud, unseen,
yet working mischief day and night.
To give 6, 10, or 20 per cent inter
est, is to tax some ones labor to pro-
duce the gain. Coined gold and silver
gives no increase Of coin, while it may
enable one family to live sumptuously

NEW YORK has not enjoyed the lux

twenty-three years. John A. Dix was
elected to serve the unexpired term of
Silas Wright. in January, 1915, and
served until 1S49, when he was sue
ceeded by William II. Seward; Daniel
S. Dickinson was N. P. Tallmadge's
successor, and sat In the Senate until
March 4, 1851. Fish followed, and the
Republicans have elected their man
every time since. Dix and Dickinson
both went back on the Democracy to

party came into power.

PROFESSOR TYNDALL says he is not
an atheist, if he knows himself-and be
thinks he does. In an address at Man.
chester, England, the other day, he re-
ferred as follows to the attacks made
upon him from pulpit and rostrum:
One class of thinkers suppose that
these actions of crystals that you have
seen formed before you, the passage
from that crystalline action to the low
est forms of life, and from them to
higher forms up to the highest say
one class of thinkers regards this as
the growth of a single natural process.
They grasp, as it were, this act of
life, this development of life, as an
indissolubly connected whole, one
great organic growth from the
beginning. Others, again, say that
it is not possible to pass from inorganic,
as we are pleased to call it-for remem-
Der it is only human language We can
use-from the inorganic to the organic
without distinct creative act; and so
with regard to the forms that we OBJ
serve not only in the fossil world.
These forms, it is alleged, or consid-
cred, also require for their introduction
special creative acts. Here there are
two perfectly distinct positions, and if
you look abroad you will find men of
equal honesty, equal earnestuess,. equal
intelligence, ranging themselves on
two opposite sides IN relation to this
question. Which are right and which
are wrong is, submit, a question for
grave consideration, and not for abuse
and hard names. [ am afraid that
many of the fears that are now enter
tanned on these subjects really have
their roots in a kind of skepticism. 1t
is not always those who are charged
with skepticism that are the
real skeptics-and l confess 1t is
a matter of some grief to me to
see able, useful and courageous men,
running to and fro upon the earth,
wringing their hands over the threat
ened destruction of their ideals. l
would say, if l dared, to such men, j
would exhort them to cast out this
skepticism, for this fear has its root
in skepticism. In the human mind we
have the substratum of all ideals, and
as surely as string responds to string
when the proper note is sounded, so
surely, when words of truth and noble
ness are uttered by living human
soul, will those words have resonant
response in other souls; and in this
faith l abide, and In this way l leave
the question.
This turns the tables very neatly on
the anti-skeptics, who will now have to
rise and explain.

without productive industry, and at the
cost of much sweat from the brows of
other families. 1t is estim ated that ten
thousand million dollars would hardly
cancel our promises to pay National,
State, city, county and individual liabi-.
hties, based onlaboryet Inexperienced.
The nation has insanely mortgaged the
bodies of its children before they are
born. This is the American credit sys-
TEN run mad. Let US pay as we 60, and
all our improvements VIII stand on
sound basis. As things now stand, no
one knows what planter, banker, mer-
chant or manufacturer is sound beyond
contingency. Games of chance have
many pleasant excitements, but they
shorten life and provoke indulgences Of
every kind, tending to poverty and
disgrace. High manuring, deep culture,
and cutting up large plantations into
small farms, will never cure taste for
mercantile, hank and land speculations.
Free discussion and close thinking, in
the minds of the voting millions, will
remedy the evil. Withdraw the fuel
supplied by the masses, and the fire
win 60 out of itself.
Money at ten per cent annual inter-
est doubles in little over seven years;
but call it eight, and see where this
practice is likely to land debt thur
dened community. Suppose one mil
li1n people in Tennessee being in debt
sufficient to pay, In one shape and an
other, interest equal to ten per cent. on
one hundred dollars each, and this
interest be added to the principal,
steadily increasing the indebtedness.
Beginning with 100000, 900, the sum
is doubled in eight years; fourfold in
sixteen; eightfold in twenty four, and
sixteenfold in thirty-two years, when
it reaches 81, O00, 100000. With little
more emigration out of the State than
immigration into it, our population will
only double in thirty-two years, while
the exaction of ten per cent. interest
will gain sixteen times as fast. As all
interest comes from labor, to make a
few millionaires, holding government
bonds, implies the necessity of having
many persons very poor. All this goes
to prove that farmers and other pro-
ducers should learn the great art of ad-
vantageously utilizing property, as well
as how to produce it by tillage, hus-
bandry and mechanic trades. Making
moneyis an industrial science, IN which
the people of the South are mere tyros,
while the science of keeping or proper
ly using money after they have made
it is still less understood.
