the willful Ignorance of money wastage

country, sparsely populated, the speculative
excitement of grasping the riches of new
storehouses have upset all reasonable stand
ards of expense. This is the next thing to
be changed. Plans of living must be de-

be stopped. Carefulness in saving is to this
country a lost art. From the farm

Senate, and is making himself conspicuous

at Gallatin has evoked great deal of conn

in political life, from the position of alder
man in his native village to that of presi-
dent ofthe United States, and he pledged,
as usual, undying fidelity to the
constitution of the country. Neither
did he forget the ladies, but with his
customary exuberance of spirits praised
them and quoted poetry at them like a ro-
mantle boy. The press Of the country
welcomes him to the political field with
great good humor, and even the New York

The Chicago Tribune, taking Gov. Hen

The Chicago Tribune, taking Gov. Hen
bricks speech as a text, argues against the
doctrine that an adverse balance of trade Is
a sign of financial or industrial distress,
and consequently maintains that the gov
ernor's theory about waiting until it turns
in our favor before resuming specie payment
is fallacy. Greet Britain is taken as an
example of a country whose imports since
1850 have constantly exceeded her exports.
The fact of the matter is, the balance of
trade might just as well be paid in gold as
in goods or produce, when the currency of
a country is in healthy condition. Each
nation will export whatever it has in great
est abundance to the market in which
there is the most demand for it,
If we can pay England for a
greater amount of manufactures by
sending her money than by sending her
flour. it Is the better policy to ship the coin.
In order to procure that coin we must dis
pose of our products to other nations, where
they can be sold to the most advantage, or
dig the gold from the mines. 1t is only
when a country uses the precious metals to
paw off balance in trade and supplies their
place by paper which IL mas cost helsher
labor nor increase of commerce in other
markets to procure, that the balance of trade
indicates clear loss. Every time dollar in
gold is sent to England and is replaced by
paper dollar, that costs nothing but the
printing instead of by an equal amount of
precious metal or valuable produce from
another country or from the fields or mines
of our own, the nation creates an adverse
balance of trade as disastrous as that so COM
monty dreaded has proved harmless. In
other words, it is spending capital and max
ing promissary notes to replace it, that is
dangerous.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-09-29

How to make money is solved question.
1t is as well understood by the American
people now as it ever will be. Every phase
of speculation by the use of capital, every
trick oftrsde without capital, every method
of evolving values, real and fictitious, has
been found out and tried with more or less
of success SO far, so good. The other
lesson, the complementary principle
of economy. we know but very little
about. The fatal trouble, especially
with city life, the cause of all our
woes, is that it costs too much TO live. Take
the case of single man who can command,
say 81 200 salary. Grant that he is free from
what are generally termed vices, which are
extraordinarily expensive. His room rent
is three dollars; meals, FIVE dollars; wash
ing, one dollar and fifty cents; tobacco, Ca
necessity two dollars; incidentals, fifty
cents; making weekly expense which is
constant of twelve dollars. This uses up
1924, over half of the salary. Then
come clothing, rides, concerts, postage and
incidental matters which accrue to even mod
crate and moral men, and we shall find the
rule to be that the 81 200 salary is nearly or
quite all dissipated at the end of the year and
not single stone laid in the foundation of
fortune. 1t appals the thoughtful young
man and he declares that he must
have larger salary or there is
no chance to make any, Roadway.
But Dthe tact is, this large salary
business is becoming more and more du-
bious. Business does not justify it; win
not permit it, in fact. Attention must be
turned to the other end of the account, if
anything is to be saved. 1t makes people
angry, it is true, to talk to them about
economy. They hout it, and act un-
smiably towards friends who venture
to present this view of the subject. 1t is so
intensely distasteful to watch the out
flowing dribble of money, that only one
in hundred can be induced to keep an &C
count and look each week squarely upon
the itemized and aggregate sums of money
which he has disbursed, here, there and
everywhery. fla man will do this, bring
ing arithmetic to bear inexorably on his
weekly transactions, in nine cases out of ten
it would prove his financial salvation, for
money is almost always frittered away by
sort of enforced self-deception, great variety

There was a formal reception of Governors
Pollock and Bigler, of Pennsylvania, at the
Exposition Thursday afternoon. These
gentlemen represent the Centennial COM
mission of Philadelphia. and their mission
is to Iindle and sustain in different parts OF
the country an interest in the
great celebration which Is to
take place in Philadelphia two years
hence. Gov. Hendricks rendered them the
Inequalities of the city, and his reception
speech as well as their rejoinders, will be
found on another page of the Sentinel. The
argument which the visitors made in re-
gard to the national character of the Gen.
tennial Exposition, was, in the main, a
conclusive one. 1t is appropriate
that the nation should celebrate
the close of its first century of
existence with some degree of solemnity
and splendor. 1t is also appropriate that
such celebration should be concentrated in
one point of particular interest, and no filter
place for such concentration can be found
than Philadelphia This is not said with any
idea of exalting that city at the expense Of
Others, but it happens to be the birth place
of American nationality and that fact sug-
gests the propriety of holding the Centennial
celebration in the Quaker city. The wealth,
beauty and size of the place will do honor
to the occasion and the country. AS TO the
necessity or usefulness of national cele-
bration no better argument could be used
to enforce either than the very prejudice ex-
isting against any such general effort. There
is altogether too much of a sentiment of
local patriotism springing up in all di-
rections. The old sectional feeling between
the North and the South is as bitter as ever,
and petty jealousy between the East and
the West now almost rivals it. Instead of
q broad, genial nationality, we are lapsing
into provincial animosities. With the cur
rents of life and business gliding so freely
through the country, 1t is, of course, impos-
sible that we should ever become estranged
so far as to prove enemies; but
we may become very lukewarm
friends. The Sentinel is inclined to
think with favor of these sentimental aids
to patriotism, such as the centennial will
prove to be. and if Philadelphia profits by
the national jubilee, why, that is her luck,
which no one ought to envy her. She is a
sober, steady matron, and can bear her good
fortune without putting on airs or coneeiv-
ing undue ambition, as Chicago, st. Louis
or Cincinnati would. Let it be
understood, however, that all effort tor this
great occasion should be voluntary. 1t is a
fine idea to make such an exposition as will
delight and astonish the world; but we
should not attempt more than can be accom-
plished with ease and cheerfulness. A cele-
bration is thing of joy and charity,
and not the result of forced loans or
unwilling taxation. Within that hmita-
ton indianapolis bids Philadelphia
good speed in her work of preparation, and
will doubtless contribute more than lair
wishes to make the centennial a national
celebration.

Take Senator Morton's speech, and it serves

FROM THE ANTIPonEs.

A LETTER FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
GIoBE-NEws FROM THE INDIANIANs At
TACHED TO THE UNITED STATES AsTRoNoM-
ICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF BAHIA
AND CAPE TOWN.
Mr.. G. w. Dryer, of this city, at present
attached to one OF the expeditions sent out
by the United States government to observe
the transit of Venus, writes q verv interest
ing letterfrom Cape Town. South Africa, from
which some extracts are condensed. The
letter is dated August 8, and the length of
time that has elapsed between the posting
and its reception is due to the fact
that it has travelled more than half
around the globe before Its reception.
The expedition to which Mr.. Dryer is at
tached, left New York on the 7h of June,
and made its first landing at Bahia, Brazil,
on the 10th of August. The party rested
there four days, getting splendid accommo-
dations at the principal hotel for 81 so per
day. They were very favorably impressed
with the place, which has a population of
$4,000 inhabitants, many modern improve
ments, street cars and other evidences of
progress were found in the city The tropi-
cal scenery is said to be charming and in
many places quite grand in its luxuriance.
The city is described as being surrounded
by many beautiful parks and gardens
which are quite different from anything ever
are built of unburned brick and white
washed, but they are usually left without
glazed windows, nor are they scarcely ever
furnished with carpets, curtains or the
thousand and one luxuries found in this
country. The dress worn by the well-to-do
poorer classes and negroes wear scarcely
anything at all to speak of. nor are clothes
necessity to them in that climate.
THE TROPICAL FRUITS ra,
with which the scientists were RECALLED dur
ing their stay. are spoken.of with no little
which is perhaps justifiable, as
the oranges there are said to be from six to
twenty inches in circumference and very
plentiful. The same is the case with grapes,
bananas and plantains, all of which are sur
prisingly cheap as our Indianapolitsn found
he could purchase more than he could get
away with at a sitting for a nickel. On the
18th OF July the party steamed away from
Bahia for Cape Town, encountering several
the gales ana %neh cold weather
At midnight on the first of August the
steamer went very near going down, and a
portion of the ships masts were carried
away, but the party landed in Cape Town on
the 9th of August in safety. They were
much pleased with the city, which is repre-
people, and being the seat OF brisk bust
ness. The scenery around IL is mountain
Gus, and very beautiful, while all the
necessaries and many OF the luxuries
OF life are supplied in profusion. Mr..
Dryer, since writing the letter, has left for
Island, which place he expected
TO reach yesterday. His address and that of
his comrades will be at Hobart Town, Tas-
mania. The writer, however, expects to be
so far away from civilization that
no letters can reach him until next year at
