THE MONEY MARKET.

The tide in the money market is rapidly
on the increase. From the extreme OF
scarcity we are passing to that OF large
supply. The New York Times calls at
tcntion to the fact that the average ofbank
deposits in that city last week, as COM
pared with the average for the week end
ing Dec. 20, 1873, was larger by more
than thrty-six millions of dollars. The
Times says "no one who knew this country
only from observations made, say between
the middle of September and the middle
of October last, would believe it possible
that within three months from the latter
date, the characteristic Of the money mar
ket should be full supply, not to say an
oversupply, of money, seeking almost IN
vain for profitable Investment. Yet that
this is now the case no one will doubt. -
This condition of things is reyiving the
spirit Of speculation which the panic had
crushed, in the large cities, and Is tending
to encourage rash ventures and invest
ments in unsafe enterprises. II great pru-
dencc is not exercised another financial
crash will be upon Us at no distant period.
The Times in closing an article upon The
Business Ootlook' cautions the public and
advises prudence. 1t says: We have no
right to forget that we are in an eXtraor-
binary situation. There are many influ-
ences at work. on the effect OF which no
man can count. Our currency is still made
up of irrdeemable Government notes and
unredeemed bank notes, the sum Of the
two nearly fixed, and that by an entirely
arbitrary limit. We have been passing
through period when credits were uni
versally shaken, and from which large
part of the mercantile community emerged
with an enormous load of "cxtended' OBJ
legations to carry. The system of banking
which depleted the outlying country of its
currency at the earliest possible moment,
to gather it in New York for the use and
abuse of spectators, is not reformed or
modified. and stands small chance of being
so. The whole country through, people
are crying to Congress to help them but
that body is not likely to do anything OF
the kind, if indeed it does not make mat
tiers worse. Is it not safer, then, in all
business transactions, to move cautiously :?
We believe it is, and if we were to sum up
the business situation in Il phrase, we
should say it was one of smooth and rapid
sailing in the midst of unseen but possibly
imminent dangers.

CHEZ JUSTICE.

At length the office of Chief Justice OF
the United States Supreme Court is filled
by the confirmation on the part OF the
Senate Of the nomination of Hon. Nor
rison r. Waite of Ohio. From the manner
in which the nomination was received and
passed upon by the Senate, and from the
comments in reliable quarters upon Mr..
Waite, there is the best of reason to be-
lieve that the Office is worthily filled;
indeed no objection to him of any weight
has yet been brought from any source.
The Ohio senators both give him the high
est endorsement, that of Mr.. Thurman
being as hearty as the endorsement of Mr..
Sherman. Mr.. Evarts, one of the great
leading lawyers the country. in recent
letter says tina. Mr.. Waite is one Of the
ablest men in the law whom he ever met.
As one of the United States counsel in the
Geneva case he received high commenda-
ton for his ability, which it is said did
much towards favorable settlement.
Mr.. Waite is native of Connecticut,
and is a son OF Chief Justice Waite. of
that State. He was educated at Yale Col
lege, graduating in the class with Mr..
Eyarts and Mr.. Edwards Pierrepont. Mr..
Dawes was in college at the same time.
After the completion Of his legal studies
he went from Connecticut to Ohio. This
was about the year 1912. He began the
practice of law at Maumee. After a brief
practice there he removed to Toledo,
where he has ever since resided. He has
been engaged in the practice Of law some
thirty OR thirty-two years, and is now about
filty-four or fifty-five years of age. For
the last twenty-five years scarcely case
of great importance has been tried in
North western Ohio that Mr.. Waite has
not been engaged as counsel on one side or
the other. His knowledge of the law ex-
tends to all its branches, including admit
rality and constitutional law. in both of
which specialties he has the reputation of
being very strong. 1t is said by those who
are acquainted with Mr.. Waite that no
Justice has ever been appointed 10 tue
Supreme Bench who had, at the time of
the appointment, the same versatility and
range of practice and legal experience.
Outside OF law. he is II man OF fair though
perhaps not large attainments, although
thoroughly well informed upon all current
subjects. and all matters of history which
are connected with the practice OF his pro-
fession. He is represented as man OF
solid rather than brilliant attainments. and
as having thoroughly judicial mind and
character. lie is at the present time Pres
ident Of the Constitutional Convention of
Ohio, now in session in that State. In the
practice of bis profession he has accumu-
lated a comfortable competence, every
dollar OF which, personal friend of his
states, has been made from fees in his
practice, and that through his whole life

LET TIE ia SEED I'll Y.

To The Editor of the Journal:
In your issue of to-day, you say in refer
ence to the proceedings of the State Agricul-
tural Society, that hay seed blew briskly and
in large quantities. l don't know as you in.
tended it as compliment but l take it as
such, and thank you for the sentiment. And
say it is time for hay seed to fly, when
lawyers attempt to control our agricultural
organizations for the benefit of private cor
porations and when the fair, candid speeches
OF able farmers who know what are their own
interests, and who do not ask any assistance
in defending them, are met by such weak
speeches as these lawyers gave us yesterday.
Organize then the Farmers Oranges, and let
the shay seed" fly until we have our rights.

Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1874-06-26

THE Chicago Tribune speaking of
the financial resolution in the plat
form of the Iowa Anti-Monops, says
it is purposcly ambiguous" but that
it only needs to be intclligently in
terpreted in order to secure the APP
proval of all honest men" Jess so !;
all depends upon the Interpretation,
and as one man has a right to con-
slider his Interpretation intelligent as
another, we will have all sorts of men
''intelligently' propounding it in all
sorts of ways. One for instance, will
make it mean declaration in favor
Of the next war. Another will swear
that it means an equitable division of
the money in the treasury among the
people once year and still anoth-
or will find in it the germ of "Cuba
or fight" Out upon such quibbling
demagogism. If we cannot find in
the first uttcrances of a party ostensi-
bly, organized for REFORM" some
thing explicit, manly, straightfor-
ward, unambiguous and straight to
mark, what must we think of such
aparty? Manifestly that it is fraud;
mere organization for the spells,
with no cohesive principles beyond
the selfish ends of the dcmagogues,
and Office beggars who have assumed
its leadership.

Wcart is capable for the place for
which he has been nominated. Per-
haps little patient inquiry in this
direction might open the eyes Of our
neighbors down stairs, if indeed they
are not wilfdlly closed. n.
We do not design these remarks
as a personal attack upon Mr..
Weart as his organ intimates. For
an Office which he can fill we would
as -cheerfally see him elected as any
other man of his party, But in this
case his vaulting ambition is over
leaping itself, and we take upon our
selves the not always pleasant task
of bringing him down to his true
plane, which is that Of fair ability as
a clerk and accountant combined with
uncommon industry and persistence
as an intriguing politician. Being
before the State rs candidate for
an important Office, we make no apol-
ogy for this frank discussion of his
disqualifications.

Among the names mentioned in
connection with the Republican nom
nation for the above Office is that of
z. N. Bowman Esq. ofMt. Pleasant.
We have read attentivcly all that has
been said by the friends of the sever
al contestants, in their favor, and we
are convinced that no one Of them
possesses in greater degree, the
necessary qualifications or would
make SO strong Il candidate for the
position as Mr.. Bowman. lie has
the unqualified endorsement of Judge
Beck Of the Supreme Court, Judge
Tracy, late of the First Judicial Dis
trict and other distinguished gentle
men, as to his qualifications, and the
papers of his own section of the State,
are unanimous in confirming this
Judgment. As a specimen we append
the following decided compliment
from the Gate City:
"Mr. Bowman is admirably suited
for the position. In addition to his
well known ability and learning rs a
lawyer, he has acquired no little dis:
tinction by his admirable. essays in
the Bench and Bar, of which law
magazine he is one Of the. editors.
AS writer, he is vigorous, terse and
lucid, and his thoughts have ring
about them which shows that he is
no admirer of antiquities or half con-
cllsions."

THE Autobiography Convention of

THE Autobiography Convention of
Polk county had hot time last week
over the the temperance issue. Col.
10. Eboeck, editor Of the German
paper Of Dcs Moincs, specimens of
whose fanatical utteranccs on the free
rum side of the question we have
given our readers from time to time,
was on hand chuck full of fight, de-
handing that the convention should
positively declare against prohibition,
and threatening in case the Anti
Monopoly party-of which he has
been heretofore considered a bright
and shining light-should fail to
come squarely upon his platform of
free whiskey, that he and forty thou
sand voters with him belonging to
Personal Liberty Leagues, would tell
that party to ego to the devil'' and
seek another party which would
give them "frccdom." The discus
sion was spirited, some of the dele
gates not being disposed to step into
the trap set by the whiskey ring, but
the upshot of the whole was ride
ulous compromise in which the whis-
key men had decidedly the advan-
tage. The Convention adopted the
resolution declaring prohibition
failure and rejected an amcndmentto
the effect that the laws should "give IL
cense to no man to follow any voca-
ton contrary to the public welfare
and the public morals" The other
side of the compromise was repre-
sented by resolution that the con-
vention was in favor of temperance
men for office. Verify Eiboeck's "tor-
ty thousand votes" is trump card.
