How 10 supply tsic Want O
Money Ira the south.

e. &
Tho Cincinnati Gazette makes tho following
sensible remarks upon the proposed issue OF
"a coo. 900 in bank notes, for the ostensIple
purpose Of relieving the South and West from
the complaint Of the scarcity Of money
4 The plea for this il that those sections nave
not their share Of paper money privilege, anu'
therefore. are deficient in money eap.sa ,s
But how will this supply the want Oh cap'.a =.
For every 100000 of paper money gran,eu W
tho West and South in this way, O,OoO IN
money must be contributed in those. sections
~ 10 inyestad ia bonds and deposited at
Washington The grant does nothing to
make money moro plenty in the sections TO
which it is given In TACT, 1t draws from
them elaven per cent. more than it returns.
Tfibsy have not now the money to invest in
this privilege, the East will have to furnish
il. and it will take the circulating notes. The
grant simply benefits tho favored persons by
enabling them TO .draw double interest on
their money, one of five per cent. from the
people at large, and one of eight, ten or
Twelve per cent. from individual borrowers.
70 the public 1t does nothing but dilute and
depfeciate the whole volume of curreacy.
After all, we incline to think the National
Grange has hit upon the great secret OF max
ing money plenty, in its advice to the farmers
TO become workers instead of being idlers
--toraise from their own soil ell the peces-
saries Of life, instead Of buying them, and
thus keep the money at home which they are
now sendiag abroad. Every year Texas IS
scneing abroad several millions of dollars to
buy corn, hay, bacon, butter, lard, etc, and
these millions would make money plenty and
cheap in Texas. If this money was only kept
at home, nearly oil our farmers would have
a surplus with which to invest in various
q, -
thus other millions could DO kept at home,
that are now sent abroad to purchase leather,
harness, boots, shoes, and many cotton and
wooden fabrics that can be prohtably manufac
tured here. When will our people learn that
their own prosperity depends upon them
selves, rather than upon national or STATE
legislation?

No such divine thrill ever came TO me from the

sudaclous for blind admiration to make the COM
