THE MONEY TROUBLES RGLISG CAUSE.
The national banks augmented their loans
from s497 900, 900 in 1865 to S9OS, 100000
in 1878. This enormous increase of four
hundred millions in their loans was made
without dollar of additional money. The
''deposits" were made simply By placing to
the credit of stock operators certain sums
called loans, on deposit Of stocks and bonds
The deposits in this way are not deposits of
money, nor are the loans on these fictitious
deposits loans of money illegal tender or ma
tional bank notes.. If the parties making
these deposits had attempted to draw money,
it never was in bank aud could not have been
had, and the loans were made only because
they could not be drawn in money. Certified
checks (Which the banks on no day whatever
could have paid in money! were multiplied
od infnitwnt the banks got interest on the
loans all the same as if they had the money
the clearinghouse was a Continuance by which
the banks could increase their loans indef-
nitely without having any money to loan. 1t
was the demand for money on these loans
which actually broke all the banks that is,
pone of them could pay the checks they had
certified, or give notes for checks The sud-
den demand for money brought this system to
rude and crushing shock. The banks, to
save themselves, had to violate faith with
their iepositors, and the law also; and they
thus starve the productive industries until
they can realize from their assets and reduce
their fictitious deposits and loans to the level
of their money ability. Thus will take place
q contraction of four hundred millions, and
stocks, bonds, and all other properties must
oppressively feel'the effects of this great con-
traction. This pernicious aud ilIegitimate
banking has been the chief source Of all our
woes. The late action of the banks is as if
the volume of money had been four hundred
million more than it is, say eleven hundred
millions, and in a day had suddenly been coy
tractcd to seven hundred millions. Congress
is imperatively called upon to put the sternest
restriction upon a course so vicious and at war
with every principle of true bankiny-and al
of it perpctratcd in the sole interest of stock
gamblers Weekly Meas.

REAL O,D GRASS LAND.-"Twenty or
thirty years in permanent sod" constitute
real old grass land, though if well managed
and properly grazed, it viii improve up to
fifty years and then never retrusrade unless
abused in some way or other. Now if the
greater part OF the land of the Omitted States
which is natural for grass and adapted for
perpetually lying in grass for grazing and
moving, was allowed time to become estab-
lished in thick-set old sod, and the finer
and most fattening heritage encouraged by
judiciously grazing with mixed stock (n good
proportion being sheep) there might be fine
districts producing beef and mutton, butter
and wool, with fine horses also, and with
comparatively little use Of the plow, less
and less arabic soil being required as the
South was approached, because the winters
woald be short and the foddering and
housing Of stock Of little moment in
comparison.
Just as the tLmip husbandry of England
was the salvation Of the light soils and the
hills and downs Of England, and the muirs,
ETC., of Scotland, at the same time renovating
all the good, dry and we'll drained lower land,
so lying by for real old grass all the land
most suitable for permanently remaining
sacred from the plow, may be the saving Of
agriculture in America for the fact ofubout
twU-thirds or three-louItlls of every farm
being in pasture and nea low, or in grass
alternating in pasture and meadow, would
be au assistance to the arabic portion and
every farmer adopting this system; because
grass land, when once thoroughly established.
can be managed 50 u to enable the farmer
to support great quantity Of animals which
with produce from the soil plowcd, will give
straw, etc., which in conjunction with better
TODD, increases the manure heap.
But hitherto, the greed Of gaining good
corn crop by plowing under the sod, has
caused the having any established pastures
or mowlngS out Of tie question; and then
the unaccountabls fear that sheep may iniure
the best herbage, has brought about a run
ming out Of the very grasses the sheep would
have caused to flourish In Illinois the grass
land that has remained uncultiyated for 90
and 30 years, has become So superior to the
newly-laid down fields in timothy and
clover, that double the stock can Unsupported
upon 1t; and what is proof beyond doubt is
that when rented, double the money per
acre IS readily paid FOR the real old grass
land"
Let any disinterested person think on this
and 1t will show what a vast advantage would
be gained by the whole community if (say
haIt) the land now said to barely paw for
occupation, could be let lie in grass till it
would carry double the stock and be worth
double what it is now to rent.
