WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The infationists are met at every
point with facts which upset their argu-
ments in favor of the issuance of more
greenbacks. The money in circulation
four months ago is all in the country,
and now while there is complaint of a
scarcity in the South and West, there
is a glut in New York greater than has
been experienced for years. This con-
dition of affairs is accounted for by the
st. Louis Republican as follows:
"There was an admitted suffciency
of money in the country down to the
eve Of the September panic, four months
ago; there was no complaint of 4
scarcity then. But there is no less
money in the country now. On the
other hand, there is S23, COO, 600 Of
greenbacks and about the same amount
OF gold. more, in the land tlan there
was in September. Where is it? This
IS Z question of some interest. During
the panic, and for some weeks after
wards. money was boarded; but it is
not boarded now; that process is sub
stantially ended. The money of the
country is flowing to New York in
steady streams and there being held.
The scarcity of money in the agricul-
tural regions is the counterpart of
gIut of money In the Eastern centres.
On Sept. %, four months ago, the New
York banks held SlS,3H.G00 specie,
l,1..1 81 GTn2
100000 deposits; total, S25l, l5l,O 600.
On Jan. II. last Saturday. they held
S34,27S,000 specie, S55, "A, 600 legal
tenders. and S23I .232, 600 deposits; total
S320.35I,000. The increase of money in
New York during the period of four
months has been about S90,000,-
600. In the same time the specie
in the Boston banks has increased
S2,OQ0,000, legal tenders 100000,
and deposits St,7QQ,000, atotal increase
of SS,700,0O0. In the Philadelphia
banks the increase has been: Specie
500. 600. legal tenders S3,000,000, de-
posts s., $40, 900; total increase IS, 49,
coo. These three cities, therefore, have
gathered from the country since Sep
TENDER Sl08,000,000, and now hold
S44S, 000, 600, nearly three-ffths Of all
the money IN the country. The amount
in the New York banks is steadily in
creasing at the rate of about eighteen
millions a week. This shows that it is
not a scantiness Of supply OF money
that the country is troubled with, but
a drain of it from the agricultural re-
gions to the financial centres, caused
by the universal Indebtedness of the
agricultural regions to these financial
centres. If we can devise some method
to eurtail this indebtedness and thus
arrest the exhausting drain of money
to pay it we shall do more for the relief
of the West than by any amount of in
fation. 1t is the property of all de-
preciated money TO slip easily out of
the hands of the masses and drift into
reservoirs in great cities, and the
cheaper the money is, as compared
with gold, the more readily it takes
this movement. The fact that green
backs and national bank notes are now
10 per cent below the value of gold
causes the people to part with them
easily"

THE TRANsITtOs STATE.

The Rochester EUeHiHg Express has
bid goodbye to parties, and become an
Independent paper. So they go, every
where.-NaShUiLe Banner.
Yes; the Rochester paper has bid
goodbye to one party, Repubicanism.
It Is the most natural thing in the
world for decent paper TO abandon
Radicalism; and 50 they go everywhere.
We bid them god-speed. 1t would be
demanding too much Of human nature
to quarrel with them for not turning
Democrat Immediately. All natural
growth and change is gradual. Drop
ping Radicalism for independence is
the first step-apd the most important,
as being the most difficult and painful
c'est le premier pas qai coUte. 1t is a
confession Of past errors. the best
guarantee for future amendment. The
attitude Of independence is
sort Of transition state for
these papers, between Radicalism
and Democracy. The same public sent
iment which demands their abdication
of the former viii require their adop-
ton Of the latter, as public sentiment
crystallizes itself to 4 focus for effect
i've action. This honest independence,
which rebels against the rottenness of
its own party, Is not to be COMPOUNDED
with the spurious article IN Tennessee,
which studies only how to battle the
honest wishes Of the majority, and
holds out a helping hand to the Radi-
calism which the true Independents are
regulating. The trouble with the
Tennessee counterfeitso of this transition
state, is that they make too many spas
mode transits, crossing over hither
and thither, without any fixed ideas
telling US one month that Republican
ism is after all the best party in the
country" and next month that we must
"shun Radicalism as We would the
plague"
