President Ralston stated orally that
on his own responsibility, and that
of the officers OF the bank,
no doubt they would be able
to meet all obligations. In reply
to the question when they expected 10
open again, he said, "Not st all, :" and
Subsequently, on repeating the question,
said: I'VE do not expect to resume -
RalstOn further stated that about one
million four hundred Thousand dollars
was received from the other banks,
though application was made for it,
and they telegrsp phed to all the agencies
OF the bank TO close. He thought no
banks in the interior would be affected
by the failure. The excitement on Cali.
f0rnia street is intense, the street being
blocked during the day. The crowd, on
the whole was quiet and gOOd-natured.
Much confidence was expressed in the
ability of the bank to redeem its ObligG-
tious. n run was made on the National
gold bank and trust company, bat the
tank continued paying until the closing
hour, and asserted their ability to settle
all demands in coin or bonds. The other
banks in the city report no unusual de-
mands on their resources. The San
Francisco and Pacific stock exchanges
held no sessions this evening, adjourning
to call, and the former passed resOlu-
ton forbidding their memb bers to do bus
i~ess in the interim. The late hour at
which the suspension of the Bank OF
California occurred renders it difficult to
calculate the effect on other financial in

view now as they always have beeI

would not only deccntralize them, bu
so far as We can would disconnec
them from State control. Tho JUS
province of the State ends with tn,
protection Of the citizen in his propert,
against fraud and wrong from thos,
who originate and direct banking in
stitutions. al
We propose n0'yolent charges, nc
sudden overthrow Of any Of tho in
terests Of the peopb, but we propose
by gradual amendhsnt of the national
bank act to relieve II from its odious
and oppressive fealurcs, and by pro.
cesses as natural as was its growth ia
substitute other. agencies in its room
No one seeks 10 change tho uniformity
of the notes or to lessen the security OF
the noteholders. AZ ] read the Eric
platform both q s.aesc are 70 bo pre-
served, us they ought to be, but an
amendment of the law by which the
banks will be restricted TO legal rates
of interest, prohibited from paying in
tercst upon deposits, required to sus-
pend the interest upon their bonds de-
posted in exchange for currency, and
permitted to accept charters under
State organizations and surrender
those they now hold, seem to me to be
the purposes had in view by those who
framed this plank in the platform. 10
all OF these none of the objections can
be urged of which we hear so much.
The Democracy, when it comes to
power, will be conservative, us it
always has been, and not violent. The
rights as well of the capitalist as OF the
laborer will have just care and protec-
tion but it is time that Legislation
should show equal respect for every
great interest in the land The legis-
lation of the past fifteen years has
been too much in the interest of cor
poratc and aggregated capital Tho
time for change of policy in this re-
spect has come. Legislation ought no
longer to be shaped exclusively for the
protection OF wealth, but the producer,
the business man and tho laborcr are
entitled to equal care.
Restoration OF the fullest measure of
productive energy in every part of
the republic is indispensable to national
prosperity. The surplus products Of
the north can and ought to find q
market in tho south. The withdrawal
of federal interference there and per
mission to govern themselves under
the constitution will do much to restore
the attachment of its people to the
Union, to increase the production of
their invaluable staples, and to open
again the commercial avenues in which
both sections found prosperity. The
federal bayonet must be replaced by
the ploughshare, the tramp of armed
soldiery give place to the peaceful arts
OF commerce and the color line be
erased by mutual forbearance, conces-
sion and profit.
Let US turn now TO our domestic con-
Germs Let us examine the manage
ment of State finances.

counting thousands of suxiliaries, which for
many ages lay shrouded in the shades of
Assyria and the Land of the Pyramids. Every
land from pole to pole-every age from the

PLANTING FORESTS IN TEXAS.-Mr. A. Nc
Kinney, of San Felipe, Austin County, Texas,
contributes some very interesting facts in re-
gard to timber culture upon the prairies OF
that State. The richest lands have n very in
adequate supply Of timber even for dre-wood.
The soil of these vast savanuas possesses all
the elements of heavy forest grow til, and
healthy develo Pment but for two obstacles
hitherto insurmountable. or these the frst is
the fire that often sweeps tho prairies, the
dry grass urDishing the material for the an
nual combustion of all incipient tree-growth.
The occupancy of these lands by q regular
farming population would remedy this difa-
Gully. Another obstacle TO tree-culture Is fonnd
in the rsvages of cattle. They do not appear
to eat the young tree, bat use them . cOuu-
fer-irritant against the stinRs of flies, mos
quitoes, and other troublesome insects. They

farm accounts are not very accurately kept,
and that the produce which the Western land
owner himself consumes does not Rnd its way
into tho balance sheet. The g., 4l7, s g 6SS of
agricultural profits are, We apprehend, simply
the return derived by these landed proptis-
tors for what they had sold exclusive Of what
they had used. But this hypothesis will not
account for the enormous inequality between
the return on the capital employed in manu-
facture and that employed in agriculture. No
doubt from the 81 $50 600 900 of manu- acturinR
proceeds, wages, rent and expenses Of every
kind have to be deducted before We get the
real profit which goes into tho Manufacturers
pocket. Yet when all reasonable allowance
has been madc for the costs Of production,
which we suppose practically not included In
the returns of the agriculturist, while they are
included in those of the manufacturer, there
remains difference which shows rs that the
manufacturer does really get very much
larger percentage of profit on his produce than
the agricnlturist obtains on the produce ex-
changed for it.-How enormous, then, would
be the wealth of that community which could
in itself realise the profits of the agriculturist
and the manufacturer on the colossal scale
which it is in the power of the South to do
They have already taken the first steps in the
right direction. We trust they will continue
till entire success Gro WINS their efforts.
