EXPANSION Oh CONTRACTION.

Senator Bronson's Senatorial Con-
current Resolutions now pending at
Topeka are to the following pur-
port:
RESOLVED Qhe House concurrfng, }
that the national banking law should
be repealed, and the currency issued
directly to the people, by making
government bonds convertible into
currency At the option of the holder.
Resolved, That the present
amount of circulation is inadequate
to the business demands of the
country, and that expansion rather
than contraction, should be the poll
cy of the government.
Resolved, That copies of these
resolutions be sent to Our ShnatorS
and Representatives in Congress.
Mr.. Boutwell, addressed the y. S.
Senate on the 22d upon the subject
of finance and declared himself OPP
posed to either expansion or con-
traction of the currency of the
country. He attributes the scarcity
of currency in the West to the fact
that 1t has long been the custom of
the New York banks to pay interest
upon deposits. Hence currency hb-
Grated there, remains upon deposit.
and that of the West lie RENTED to
New York or goes into the banks.
He does not consider specie pay
ment possible. -1 ~

Reports from Washington say
that the committee on ways and
means, lIAve under advisement a
bill authorizing an increase of the
public debt to the amount of $780,
100000. To an outsider that looks
panicy. But very few persons
fully comprehend the financial
question. We make no pretensiOns
In that direction but it does look
. little alarming to hear men who
ere supposed TO understand the
matter, talk about increasing the
public debt in time of peace. An
increase OF $3O,O0O,OO0 will swell
our national debt to So, zoo, 900 in
one year. These are big figures,
and we trust our iinanciers will be
careful about increasing the debt.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

How the producer eau, in a great
measure, regulate by combined co..
operation. There is growing dis
position amongst the producers to
oysrdo. For instance, If wheat
bears q good price all 20 in for rails
ing all the wheat they can: conse-
quently, if . bountiful crop is gath
cred, in all probability the price the
farmer realizes is far from being re-
munerative, if obliged to sell, as
the majority of the western farmers
are. Those that can afford to hold
always having the advantage, just
so in the stock business. II cattle
command good price you will see
every fellow that can raise the
"wind, pitching in )" the country is
secured in every quarter by cattle
buyers, showing all classes and
kinds into the market; glut OF the
market is the consequence. Just SO
In almost every branch of industry.
It seems to US, that il farmers would
raise o general assortment of every
thing upon the farm, that farming
would be made more profitable.
There would scarcely ever be q
time but what some of his products
would. bring . fair living price, so
as to euabie him to hold others I'M
til there should be 8 demand
for 1t. Being so remote from
the sesboard, and distant from
the consumer, our products should
be put In IS small bulk as possible.
This can be done by feeding our
coarse grain to hogs and cattle, or a
portion oft, at least.
Every farmer that can, should
keep g small flock of sheep, say
from seventy.fve to one hundred
head. This would bring wooden
factories into our midst; our fan
nels cloths, and stocking yarn could
be produced from the farm. And
we are safe in saying that there is
no other animal so beneficial to the
farm a. the sheep excepting the
horse) for cleaning out weeds and
fertilizing the ground. What do
you say, "clOdhoppers!" You that
have pastures already, and money
to buy with, go in. and we will fol-
low suit just es soon as possible.
No former, We must change our
tactics In this farming business, or
the country viii not be able to build
poor houses fast enough to hold US.
We are getting poorer every day.
We de not work to an adj.
vantage. Too many farmers and
growers. We must have more
of an assortment so that en-.
pleyment can be had by the day
Iaborer. He must live, and Il is
in eur power to give him employ
mest, If we will Commence in the
right direction. As / said before,
too many Earales aud grocery-ksep-
orS, merchants, &c. Some Of US
must 60 to other occupations.
This will never do. tits too much
like the old man and bis wife that
bought barrel OF whisky to &c In
to the saloon business. After they
paid for the barrel of whisky they
had ave cents capital Jeff. The old
man proposed that they be equal
partners in business. So when the
old man took 3 drink he gave the
old woman the i've cents, 1nd when
the old woman TOOK . drink she
gave the same ave cents to the old
man.. until the barrel Of whisky
was elI gone. Some OF us must, a. |
We have said, go TO some other
