Finances.

IfIhere is any question concern
ing which ''leaders" and 70 flowers
manifest a stupenduOus ignorance, Il
il. that of finance. On one hand wa
hear an excited clamor for "An im-
crease of the volume of the curreR-
cy," and this, too, while the banEs
at the east are glutted with deposits
which they know not how to use,
and while monied men, timid in the
extreme, dare not, until they dis
cover 3 more healthy conservatism,
loan out the money they have on
hand, except when tempted by ex-
travagant and ruinous rates.
On the other hand, we hear of
people who can discover no saliva
ton short in an early resumption of
"specie payment" We never have
had and never will have sufficient
bullion in the. country to do the bust
ness thereof. There must be some
kind of circulating medium, and
gold and silver will not suffice, be-
cause it can never be had in sum
cient quantities, and when had
would be extremely unsatisfactory.
Will our readers permit what
seems 10 us q common sense view
for a moment? Our remedy lies
not in expansion" nor yet in soon
traction :" certainly not in the form
er. We have already enough of
"promises to pay" with nothing
back OF them save the pledged
faith" of the government; and what
does that faith amount to, on the
eve of a threatened increase OF more
of the same kind? Do the men of
Lyon county want more money ?
They will get it when they furnish
in the market something which calls
for money.
Occasionally we hear of lunatic
who proposes that the government
tissue money direct to the people"
This is good. We would like sew
eral such governments! But how
is the government 30 pay these notes
in the end? We pause for reply.
Again we hear of man taking
up some Stale joke of Eskridge's,
and proposing to revive estate
Banks Heaven save US from this
additional species of follyl Haven't
we been damned over and over
again in this way enough to teach
us a grain of common sense?
Seriously, readers, this question
of finance will regulate itself. What
is true of individuals is true of any
aggregation of individuals. We
want economy in public and private
expenditures, and virtue in public
and private life. We want no radi.
cal nor hastily considered changes.
We must show u determination to
pay our private debts, aud the world
at large will infer that we mean to
pay our public debt. If we live
within our means, make our ex-
penditures subordinate TO our im-
Gomez, we will hasten the time
when q dollar of our money has the
the same purchasing power of a dol
lar anywhere on the globe; and
then, and not Till then, will we have
settled this question of finance.

tensible owners OF the mules for q few
hours. They then showed the old gentle
man the mules, some fifty head, saying
they had bought them very cheap, at on
ly SIS each, and could realize largely by
holding them. He was satisfied, and sent
them $500 on his return home.
While in Wichita this season they are
said to have associated with loose women,
and INDUCED in bad habits generally,
which accounts for their lack of prosperi-
ty and finally their committal of a serious
crime.
None of the $500 was recovered. The
800 draft in favor of NJ. IA. Jones & Bro.
had been Endorsed by the Pysarts in favor
Of themselves, and sold to some party,
who will lose what he paid for it.
Z. E. Pysart, the one in Jail, says he
hopes his brother will be caught. Being
asked how his partents would stand the
news OF their crime, he cody replied that
as his mother " b in feeble heath it would
probably kill her, but that 1.-The cid man
could stand it." A letter has been receiV-
ed from his sister, expressing their pro-
found establishment aud grief. The boys
had been brought up strictly, but had
got badl. deInoraiized out west without
their parents ar trends iii Penny ~ ania
knowing it. Their fLther has sent them
in all $4,000 which they have squan cred
mostly on prostitutes in Wichita. The
telegraph company, we believe, is not re-
sponsibIe for losses incurred through such
fraudulent teiegraphing as the Pysarts
managed to carry on.
E +. Pysart's age is 10. He is the young
est OF the two, and claims that his broth
er made the plot which they carried Out
| with more boldness than skill. Had they
simply restored the telegraph wire to it
usual condition, and when they got OF OIL
the plains kept going, instead OF trying t.
get any more money on the certificates
they might both have escaped, though
they would no doubt have kept on in
criminal career until the hand OF justie
overlook them in some way.
