'GREENBACKs VS.. NATIONAL BANK BILLs

The Chicago Times, which had hitherto an
parently evaded the point, In its comments on
Gen. uran's recent financial squid, thus ex.
presses lis preference for greenb,cks over tho
circulation ofthe national banks:
Ahere are strong reasons why in proyjdinc
Tor resumption the country should tate ~
opportunity to get rid Of banks oflcircnI.,;n,
entirely. In the first place, as has often heen
pointed out, the perpetuation Of the eyis,in~
system Involves the perpetuation a. its bhsis
from four hundred to eight hundred millinns
Oh national debt, and an unnecesarys inter %,
burden oil twenty to forty millions year In
The second place, 1t Involves the perpetua,;or
OF tremendous political power such as can
not safely be permitted to exist in free com
Try, In the third place. it opposes an ar,ifc
lal barrier TO the migration of capital from
those portions Of tho country where il Is mos
abundant to those portions where IL il mo-
needed. 10 illustrate this point. suppose IN
natural rate Of interest in New England il
per cent, and In Illinois 10 per cent. +,
plain that under this state of things capi,s
will naturally flow from New England 10 nm
nois, where IL IS most productive. But 90
eminent steps in ana offers bounty of saw
per cent to capital embarking in the buine,
of issuing paper money. Tue New Englan
capitalist can now realize i0per cent. instea
of g per cent. on his capital, by investing
at home in the subdiZed business. and he nj
avail himself of the opportunity rather ,ba
transfer his capital TO the west. Thus II
that the banking system deprives the west
the use Of vast amount Of capital which
requires for the development of its resource
And free banking under the present sUbsiC
system would make matters still worse. Til
is, perhaps. the most serious of all the oblc
iions TO ~: sz-z...-,g system. Il A2s .ssca.

been very clearly stated by Mr.. VIM. NJ. Gros
vcnor, in u letter to a prominent farmer OF
Illinois.
For the reason here briefly stated, it would
be far better for the treasury to supply all the
note circulation of the country, not in the
form of legal tender, but in the form of notes
OF large denomination only, redeemable in
coin on presentation to any assistant treasurer.
This would be the most economical plan, ana
il would also be the safest if the constitution
we're go amended as to forbid the issue of any
treasury note for less than twenty dollars, and
also to forbid the making of paper legal
tender under any circumstances whatsoever.
This policy would be by far the most advan-
tageous to the newer portions of the country.
The only real opposition to it is that it is i'm
practicable The banks will fight it, tooth
and nail, and banks, as we all know, are a
tremendous political power.

Mr. DextGis livery barn, $50 by 80 feet,
put up at cost Of five thousand dollars, was
seriously damaged last Thursday by the
heavy wind The top was moved over ten
inches. The wind almost amounted TO hur-
ricane around here.
Mr. Henry Clapsade had a singular acct.
dent happen HIM last week. He was pulling
a wagon load of corn out of his barn when
the front wheel struck a stud, which caused
the tongue to strike him in the bowels
knocking him down and insenslbe lie
was found soon afterwards in that condition
and was very black in the face. The attend
ing physician, DR.. Solles, says if he had
been struck two inches higher the blow
would have killed HIM.

The Piano Excursionists passed through
here for home yesterday seeming to feel II
the best spirits. After all there il nothinc
like taking two or three weeks trip on

BEAUTIFUL FLowEEs.- Recently we visited the
magnificent conservatory and hot houses of Mr.
II. L. Brush, on the bluff north OF this city. He

The SHAME OF THE L. S. SENATE.-The
trouble with the Senate is that its rules were
designed to regulate the intercourse of gen
tlemcn with notions OF personal honor, with
moral scruples and manly conscicnces. And
now the control Of the body has fallen into
the hands of ballot-box suffers, dealers in
straw and wildcat mining stocks; a man who
sits for South Carolina, while the record of 4
circuit court in Pennsylvania show an in
dictmen. against him for most Infamous
crime, outlawcd by the statute of limitations
bigamist elected and sworn in under the
alias that shielded him from detection and
punishment; and-well, the catalogue is too
sickening. And yet this body is governed by
rules that were made for Silas Wright, and
Clay, and Calhoun, and Webster, and Benton |!
Why, you might rs well try to govern the
penitehtiary at Jefferson under the bylaws Of
the Germania Club.-Nisso,tri Republican.

POWER OF LIQUOR.
theodore TiIton on Tempe, ance

There is power of liquor 50 pcuetra
ting, so uplifting fer brief time, that it
is hopeless to combat the desire for it ex>
ccpt by stimulating agencies that do its
work without its reaction. Food that
supplies the nerves directly will do this ;
sleep and baths and pleasant excitement
will do it not alone, but taken together.
Give men some place where they have
a right to be, where cordial cheer rrcsides
where they may sing, joke, dance, not
with the restraint of a moral asylum up>
on them, but in the freehold spirits that
make men laugh and sing in the streets.
1t is not reading.rooms that men want,
where they are not allowed to speak above
whisper, and the rustlng of paper
calls down the librarians hasty warning,
but conversation rooms, and singing halls.
and wrestling matches, where the esprit
is enough to keep decent order without so
much as a placard on the wall. Every
soul, whether wealthy or workingmap,
has right within limits to bo happy in
its own way, and good people ought to
beware how they pass upon those limits.
Give the free impressionable roisterer
chance to be rdlicking and free, give the
quiet man his corner where he can snatch
the rest and laugh at his joke. Give the
world amusement of the most genuine
sort, fun that is no. at all instructing or
elevating, but fun pure and simple, that
sends its potent shock through all the
nerves, setting them to rights when out of
sorts, clearing the head and freshening
body and mind better than any elixir
handed down from the fall. Give people
chance at this, and at something like
broad social fellowship, and see whether
the rum shop can stand such attractions.
The church should do this work, going
out with hands filed with the good things
of the world, to tempt men away from
poison and husks. Tie best
woods, the best music, the drama, all the
delights Of society must be popularized,
and put in reach of everybody to this
end. The prOh;bitory policy does not
work; counteracting policy has not been
tried.
