IN THE SPRTNGsTIWEs
BY RUNE BLUFF.

A child cTept out from cottage door,
w mere shadows played on the sanded noof;
She snatched the flowers in her hands so wee,
Laughing aloud IN her innocent glee.
She threw the blossoms, tender and far,
And they lodged, as they fell, in the rings OF hel
hair.
Playing about in the green, green grass,
Kissed by the zephyrS that over her pass,
Dear little baby! sweet prattling thing!
Life's tender spring time, in Natures glad
spring
A girl danced out in the morning dew,
Away where the first sweet wild-howers grew;
Her hair fell free. and her happy song
Went back with the breeze as she tripped along
She was Drowned by the sun and her heart was
gay.
And glad was the birds that bright spring day.
Her hat, by its azure ribbons hung
Across her arm she gaily swung,
And in it she dropped each blOomy bit
As from its stem she gathered it.
How the the years go byi Another spring
Has come to us on Times feet wing
And there stands before me maiden fair.
With bridal flowers twined in her hair hair;
Bright blushes play o'er the sweet young face,
Her little hand, in its snowy glove,
Rests in palm whose clasp is love;
And two young hearts to the silvery chime
OF the same loYe-tune are beating time.
My thoughts go on as the two stand there,
Promising good and i'll to share;
And what TO them Of veal or woe
The years viii bring, 1 fain would know
spell ~ =
That charms them now? All, who can tell.
When Time has stolen the tender grace
OF youth away from maiden's face,
When their lives spring time has passed away,
In their hearts may its freshness ever stay.

science of political economy? The
secret is this. We are a nation of
immense resources. The Government
has extended to all her children her
generous credit. With this credit the
genius, the wonderful activity, and the
invincible energy of the American
people have had full swing. With
this credit we have dug coal, smelted
iron ores, fashioned the metals, fabri-
Gated the machines, built towns and
cities, and gemmed theland with thriv-
ing and busy industries. With this
credit we have. scorduroyed the land
with railroads, made populous States
of prairies and forests, and empires of
States. This progress has been
hesIthful, this development has been
substantial, this wealth tangible. 1t
has been an era of univarsal prosperi-
ty. And yet We have not had, ex-
cept in the Pacific States, dollar Of
gold, the so-called currency of the
world, in circulation. The greenback,
now so f1ercely denounced upon this
door and elsewhere, was our only
currency. ..Ff .at faHsa..s :.
How could we grow so in defiance
OF all the theories of all the English
men who have incubated so laborous-
y 30 many political economies ? How
dsre we prosper so in the face of the
great fact that gold, the only measure
Of value, had left the young Republic
like coward, and hid its face for an
entire decade among monarchies
All the political economists say
that paper currency always depricates
in value, and yet our currency is
worth more to-day in the midst of a
panic than ever before. All the po-
litical economists say that a paper
currency once issued, the tendency to
imitation cannot be restored; and vet
since 1865 we have reduced the vol,
ume of our currency over four hun
dred millions ..#f

CONCLUSION,

Let US put aside as unworthy OF
consideration the threadbare assertion
that a wholesale money supply will de-
moralize the people by engendering
speculation. This argument is based
upon the theory that the business men
of this country cannot be trusted with
their own business.
Currency is credit. This credit
Webster defined as the vital air OF
modern commerce. The West to day
with untold wealth to be developed
stands pleading for this credit. With
this credit confidence will be restored
trade will revive, industry will start
again her busy fingers, and the car of
progress roll on as before. Without
it, the solemn proclamation must ga
forth that we have reached the highes
limit of our development.

HOW PANICS ARE RELIEVED IN England
1t seems strange that the CONTRACT
tiOnists are making war upon the Sec
retary of the Treasury for issuing d
portion of the forty million reserve.
when the Bank Of England has always
adopted similar policy to avert a cri-
sis in Great Britain. -..,.-...,.
In the panic of 1857 the Bank of
England increased its loans in viola.
ton of its charter in a very few days
to the amount of $6O,0OO,OOO and
during the panic of 1866 to the
amount of $75,O00,OO0- AS the Sec
retary of the Treasury has only imitat-
ed in a small way the policy of the
Bank of England, it is contemplate
in the book economists to denounce
him. 20 !
The Bank of England, when specie
payments were resumed, held in its
valts so per cent. of gold to redeem
its circulation; and yet in order to
maintain it, the bank was compelled to
reduce it's circulation in one year e. :
600, 900, and it's discounts to mer-
chants from nine to four million
pounds, or over 50Sper cent. A like
contraction of credits in this country
would bankrupt half the business men,
East as well as West. 81 i. l-jE-s-
IF England's trade and industry
were paralyzed for two entire decades
by this policy after her ample prerara-
ton, do the political economists think
this country, with no preparation and
no adequate gold supply, should imi-
tate England's example now?
A monarcy may crush out the Ia
boring and industrial classes. but re.
public dare not and cannot.
The notes of the Bank of France
are slightly deprecated, notwithstand-
ing the fact that less than $500, 900,
900 of these notes are in circulation,
and the other important fact that she
has S800,00o,00O of gold coin.
In this country there has never been
time when we had 90 per cent. of
gold and silver to circulation. The
percentage of specie to circulation in
1859, two years after the disastrous
panic of 1857, was less than Is per
cent. and the percentage of specie to
circulation that year exceeded that of
any year since 1912
Since 1859 the legitimate demand
for money has almost tripled, and our
gold supply has fallen off one hundred
and fifty millions. Specie payments
are impossible; contraction is ruin.

WAYNE COURT. Court met on
last Monday, but there were not near
as many as usual in attendance. a
grand jury was impannelled, and Il
indictments found, principally for
unlawful retailing and assault and
battery. Our friend, G G. Burgess,
Esq Prosecuting Attorney, was over
run with business, but showed him
self equal to all emergencies. Messrs.
Adkins, WelIman and Hutchinson
were all in their places attending tc
the numerous calls upon them.
One of the most disconnected men
in Trout's Hill is the Jailor; he says
he can't keep any boasders in his no
tel that the people are all getting SC
good, or else there are not enough
good ones TO punish the bad ones
that he has nobody in Jail half the
time.
We expect to see the time when
the resources of Wayne are develop
ed, when there will be city of ten
thousand inhabitants where Trout's
Hill stands, and old Bro. Adkins
viii keep his coach and horses rom
the proceeds of his coal and lead
mines, but we will tell about them
some other time.
