Our next stopping place was at
Buffalo Bluff. Here garden of flow
ers surrounding a dwelling, tempted
some of our party upon shore. We
were met by the owners of the place,
RECALLED with orange wine of their own
manufacture; and presented with ex-
qusite bouquets. A good deal, of
what is called wine, is made from
the sour orange all through this coun-
try. Here we found growing wild,
unknown and neglected, the indigo
plant, remnant of the older civiliza-
ton, when Florida, being a British
province. Indigo formed one of the
staples of the country. There is also
found here a0i5d indigo of indigo
nous growth, but which, though pro-
ducing the same dye (of infe,ior quail
ity) is very dissimllar in appearance
We had no difficulty therefore in de-
termining that the plant we plucked
on the river bank, with bright purp g
and golden blossoms, was the verita BILE
old indigo of commerce, and to be
greeted as memento of the past.
Our call at Buffalo ended, we cour-
teous congo did both give and take"

pairing for piscatorial campaign, and
strewing the deck with rods and hooks
and lines. Alittle incident enabled us

unmanly. Mr.. Buell. is high
minded, honorable gentleman, who
deserves the esteem of his fellow-

been candidate, under the circum-
stances, and probably would not
have been had he been aware of
the treacherous and selfish purposes

belongs to. We opposed his elec-

but because we believe that the sue
cess of his corrupt party leaders
would be a misfortune to the State.

The Currency Question.

ne currency 03ueSItOO. -
The advocates of currency reform
are sometimes unfortunate in the
use of words, and we think that
Hon. B. F. Butler, in his speech in
New York few weeks ago, was in
judicious in using the phrase, mon
exportable currency. " Strictly
speaking all currency is "non-ex-
portable" for the reason that its
value as currency depends upon the
laws Of the nation which makes it
currency. Even gold has not an
equal currency value in all coun-
tries, and, indeed, in nc two, except
Germany and England, and the
adoption of uniform standard in
these is ofvery recent date. Hence
it is unwise to speak ofthe proposed
reformed currency as non-exporta-
bic, because that leaves the infer
ence: that metallic currency is ex-
portable, which is not true.
The material of the metallic mon
ey is exportable, and so is the ma
terial of the paper money; and the
foreign standard of the value of the
former is no more nearly approx,
mate to its domestic standard thar
is the foreign standard of the latter
to its domestic standard. The true
difference is that the commercial
value of the metal is more nearly
equal to its currency value when
coined, than the commercial value
of the paper is to its money value
when made into. currency. The
whole difference, indeed, consists IN
the commercial value of hematerial
used, and whether metallic or paper
money is best, is involved in the in
quiry whether it is best to use a
scarce and costly or abundant and
cheap material for currency. AS an
abundance of money is desirable, and
because this is impossible if scarce
material is, used, it seems to us pal
pable that the abundant material
should be preferred.
But the advocates of currency re-
form do not propose that the value
of their currency shall depend on
the material to be used, but upon
the laws and the faith of the nation
issuing it. The law, first, shall de-
fine its value and make it a legal
tender in payment of all debts and
liabilities, and the faith of the nation
shall, next, be pledged to give in
exchange for it bonds bearing inter-
est at rate slightly above, the ratio
of increase of the value of property.
Whether this interest, or the bonds
themselves, shall be paid in curren-
cy or coin is not material, for the
adoption Of the system will soon
bring the two at par with each other;
but, as it will be to the interest of
the government topay off the bonds
and avoid the interest as soon as
possible, and as the interest will be
no more than ordinary safe invest
ments of capital in business, proper
ty or improvements will pay, we
would leave it optional with the gov
eminent to pay either coin or cur
rency as may be most convenient.
1t must be borne in mind that our
government bonds are now export

The Price Of Wheat.
The following is a recent telegram
from London:

lhe following IS a recent telegram
from London:
The London Post of Oct, 23d says that
the Russia correspondents to German news
papers give distressing accounts Of The nn-
paralleled failure Of this years harvest.
Never before, it is asserted, has failure
been so general in Russia, both in geograph-
ical extent and in comprehensiveness with
regard to crops affected. The Russians are
still familiar with the distress resulting from
the failure Of crops from their experience Of
the Sama-a famine. That, however, was
merely a local famine. The present is gen;
eral. The entire cultivated zone is deprived
Crimea, and from Tambow to the Pod0lsk
it is the same tale, and there is no prospect
of help, for there is no one to help. All are
groaning under the same load In other
years, if there is failure ofcrops, it attacks
only one species, be it cereals, or roots, or
grass, but this year al the crops have suf-
fered alike:
In connection with this reported
destitution, allowing that it may be
half exaggeration, we must consider
the losses suffered in western Europe
by storms and wet weather, and it
stands to reason that there must be
an extraordinary foreign demand for
our surplus of breadstuffs. This is
made still more certain by the cir
cumstance that crops of the coun-
tries on the Pacific coast of America,
throughout its entire cultivated ex-
tent, are reported as below the aver
age, and that the surplus they have
to send abroad is considerably less
than usual. So much reduced, in
deed, as to be the subject Of general
comment throughout the commercial
world. :.
We have been in the newspaper
business long enough to fully appre-
ciate the universal disposition to ex-
aggerate, but after making all rea-
sonable allowances for this, we can
not avoid the conclusion that every
grain of the crop of wheat recently
harvested here in the northwest will
be greatly needed, and we believe
that this want will be so imperative
that theproducers can obtain a much
higher price as the season advances,
than the present ruling rates. Clear
ly, then, it is for their interest to hold
on to their wheat till the demand to
supply the foreign want reaches this
market, and because their doing so
will enable them to obtain higher
prices, and thus be the means of bring
ing hither large accession to our
local supply of money, it is as clear
that it will be to the interest of all
other classes Of the community to
have them do this.
Beyond what is essential to ena-
BILE them to pay their debts due to
local merchants and neighbors, and
to buy their supplies Of groceries and
dry goods for the coming winter, let
them hold back their wheat from
market. There is no inhumanity
involved in their doing this, for if
every grain of our crop was now in
New York or England awaiting
shipment the people Of the destitute
regions would not get it for cent
