rain seldom falls there, anG so che riv.
ers, left to themselves, have kept on
wearing down the rocky bed through

plowed deep channels far down into

Banking at a Big Profit,

The common way Of putting the national
bank question to the people by those who seek
to make political capital against the system is
this: Capitalists unite and organize bank.
They then buy the bonds, deposit them with
the L. s. Treasurer, and get their circulation.
The bonds draw interest, and the banks lean
the circulating notes, upon which they get in
terest, and the banks loan the circulating notes,
upon which they get interest. To make it
strong they put it in this way. The capital
is 100000 This is invested il bonds bear
ing per cent in gold, yielding equal to S6,-
900 in currency. Upon the deposit of their
bonds $50, 900 in currency is issued. This is
loaned at, say 10 per cent, being $4,000. In
this way the bank realizes 16 90-100 per cent
upon its capital. If the government would Or
der the retirement of the national bank notes
and issue greenbacks instead, it would save
the interest on $50 millions OF bonds, say 81
millions per annum" This is the loose way
in which the question is put and largely un-
derstood
But what are the facts? First, as to profits:
The semi-annual dividends of the national
banks, from 1869 to 1874, inclusive, on capi-
tai and surplus, were as fallows:

our citizens came here and located fol
the improvement of the health OF some
member Of the family, and finally set-
tied for good. For consumption In its
early stage cure can be found here;
for asthma and dyspepsia they call It a
paradise, a specific; for parslysis, heart
disease, rheumatism. and neuralgia, il
will not do. 1t has rained here for
twelve days in succession. The fore
noon is clear and bright. A little after
dinner you can see cloud appear over

Dividends.

The average dividend upon surplus and cap
ital is little over eight per cent per annum,
and the average dividend upon capital, alone
little over nine per cent. Thus the fabulous
profits of 16 and 20 per cent turn out largely
to be the wind of the reckless demagogue who
talks like Sam Cary, without regard to facts.
We suppose no reasonable person considers 9
per cent an unreasonable profit upon bank cap
ital. Private bankers would consider it very
poor business that would not yield more than
that. The risks of banking are, of course,
great, and when men invest their capital in
the business they take this into consideration
2. Taxation. The banks pay, in the first
place, 8 government tax on circulation, de-
posits and capital. This amounted in ten

vertible into gold at the pleasure of the hold
er. This is the only ground upon which spe-
Gle payments can be resumed and maintained.
To this end the NATIONAL banking system was
established, and to this end it shonld be main
tanned. 1t is the best banking system we ev-
er had in this country. The circulation is alb
solutely safe. There is no opportunity under
it for wildcat banking 1t has rooted out the
State bank system, and secured to the people
uniform and absolutely safe currency. To
abolish the national banks would be to open
the way for the establishment of State
banks. These banks before the war, cost the
people, in various ways, one hundred millions
q year. They did not always see it, because
the loss was called a premium on exchange or
gold, instead of discount of the currency,
but the loss fell and was felt.
Furthermore, to upset our present banking
system would be to precipitate panic such as
we have not had in this country. The loans
and discounts of the national banks in Octo-
ber, 1874, were $3.50, 100000. The first step
in the process Of winding up would be to call
in these loans The disturbance that would
in that way be created can be imagined by
those who have experienced the efforts and
surveyed the ruins of sweeping financial pam
les.
One thing may be assumed, viz: the green
backs viii, as soon as practicable, be retired
from circulation, and that gold and silver
alone will bear impress of the United States
Government; and that all paper money, under
provisions of national bonds, will be converti-
BILE into gold and silver. This being the case,
the people should be careful to hold on to the
national banks. Tnis is the best system we
have ever had, and it is so nearly perfect that
there is little room for improvement.

Not What is Wanted.

1t Is noticeable that the recently
elected United States Senators from
Southern States are instructed or re-
quested to use their influence toward
securing the passage Of the bill loan
ing the Government credit To the
Texas Pacific Railroad TO the amount
of $35, 900 or $40, 900 per mile. The in
situation that these instructions were
produced through the influence of
Tom SCOTT and party would perhaps
be met with the assertion that it was
false by the hackers and manipulators
Of the stupendous subsidy scheme.
Yet it is more than probable that the
influence was used and that it made
itself felt through representatives that
are not true and on promises that will
never be verified. The people of the
South need transeontinentsl rail-
road and those of them who have not
given the subject careful study are in
Aueed to believe that the Texas Pa
.cific road will supply this great want.
Such however is not the case. The

.ernment to build for him will only
skirt the Southern States and become

SAN FRANCISCO is inaugurating
measures for the suppression of the
opium dens established and frequented
by the Chinese Of that city. These
Mongolian death pens are no doubt
great promoters of vice and disease,
but there is another class of dens
found all over San Francisco that are
a thousand times more damaging to
public morals, more destructive to
health and productive of more misery
than those frequented by the Chinese.
They are the back alley and cellar
dens where lahorng men spend their
small means in the purchase of the
most yillainous of alcoholic drinks
that ever maddened the brain of a
human being. In these places are
worse than squandered the means that
should be, and but for them would be,
expended for food and clothing for the
lily clad and often hungry wife and
children at home. 1t is into these low
places the unwary countryman is en-
ticed, and after being drugged with
the poison sold as whisky is robbed OF

San Francisco should suppress. They
are the direct source of much Of hel

Wood and Coai

AS we have ever had an eye for the
public welfare, and as the winter sea-
son is now at hand, we take the lib
erty of saying a few words toour read
ers Oh the comparative merits of wood
and coal for fuel. Where coal has
never been used more extensively than
in Los Angeles, there is liable to be
prejudice against it. People look up
on it with suspicion, when studying
home economy. They confounda a ton
of coal with Il cord of wood and give
coal the Ego by" as an expensive lux
ury. The truth however is that one
ton Of coalis worth three cords OF wood
for simple ordinary burning purposes
In Summer time perhaps, when the
only family use for fires is for cooking
wood may he the cheapest article, but
i'm Winter when the hearthstone must
be lit all day long to render a house
agreeable, coal is by far the cheapest,
and as matter of convenience, by fal
the most desirable. Wood varies in
price from twelve to fifteen dollars
per cord. The best Sidney coal, we
understand will now be delivered III
this city for about twenty dollars pei
ton. If one ton of coal is equal 10 bnl
two cords of wood, quite margin i
left in favor Of coal, even for family
uses. For our foundrys, hotels, water
Iifters etc, coal is by great odds cheap.
er than wood. As times are hard and
money tight, we present these few OBJ
seryations to those who may desire to
economize in the spirit of friendilness
and good will.
