How tohave More Money.
For the Fayetteville Observer.
FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn,
February 9th. 1875.

February 9th, 1875.
Our national lawmakers
should, at an early period, pass
such a bill as will bring the
greatest relief to the greatest
number of our oppressed peo-
pie. And they should, as well
as our State lawmakers, hasten
to curtail in every possible man
ner the current expenses Of our
government. This would doubt
less be productive Of much
good, but would give us no per-
manent relief:for the great cause
of OUR distress is not such as
can be relieved by either ma
tional or State legislation.
1t lies in the formation of our
society. 1t is deeply imbedded
in public sentiment. 1t is con-
tanned in the single world ee-
tracagance. How much do we
purchase and often pay fabu-
1ous prices for, which add moth
ing to our comfort, and many
times nothing to ourappearance.
And more frequently does it
occur that in purchasing the
necessaries of life, we buy the
higher priced simply because it
is demanded of US by society.
And in order that we may keep
pace with this rapid running So
ciety Of ours, we contract debts
basing our calculation for our
ability to pay on abundant crops
and sale for those crops at high
est figures. If the crop fails
we are left in. the close Of the
year in debt, and if the crop
fails ard the price Of produce
rules low, then we are i'll a de-
plorable condition ,&ndeed.
There was never a time in A
merica when there was not e.
nough produce to meet the home
demand and still have surplus
enough left to exchange for all
the nccessaries of life that we
rely on foreign counties for
There would be no absolute ne
cessity forthe monetary pressure
that now paralizes the commerce
and trade Of the whole country
were we always out Of debt, bat
our individual extrayagances
keep us individually in debt,
and our governmental extrava-
gance keeps the nations nose
to the grind stone $50 to speak
If every individual would a.
dept as a rule, that when they
make little they would spend
less, before many years the ma
ton would experience that re-
lief that we so sincerely desire.
For the amount Of money that
would remain in the hands Of
the producer would have a tell
ing effect on the bulk Of money
in circulation. Notwithstand-
ing within our borders are. sill
yer and gold mines of untold
wealth, nearly all they yield is
gulped up through our extrava-
gance by other nations that
sell US silks, broad-cloths, faces,
&c. And it does not stop here
even; the hard earnings of the
toiling millions flow through
the same channel. In vain may
the wisest and most sagacious
statesmen legislate-they can
not legislate us rich or bring
us much relief until we learn to
live within our income-spend-
ing less than we make.

Gezparod czpre.lvtor ahe Harui,au easet'sl ]

The year 1874 has been marked with con-
tinuance Of the general depression in trade which
has characterized the past three or four years,
arising chiefly from the low and unsatisfactory
prices obtained for produce shipped to foreign
markets. Our islands have been singularly free
from disasters of every kind during the year, and
in this respect there is remarkable contrast
with the neighbOring countries, Japan, China,
East Indies, India, Mauritius, Australia, New
Zealand and Fiji; in all which very destructive
storms, foods, or droughts have been chronicled,
with loss Of life, property and crops. The posi-
tion Of this group is such, that while hurricanes
and cyclones are each year reported east and west
north and south, they very seldom reach it,
or cause much destruction Of life and property
which in this particular escape the great risks
attendant 10 other tropical countries Our posi-
ton is fortunately out Of the usual track of hurr
canes
The weather in 1874 was remarkable IN seve-
raj respects. Not only was it unusually cool
during the spring and summer and December, for
this latitude, but the trade winds prevailed more
uninteruptedy than in previous years. The
rainfall, as shown by the following table kept by
Mr.. VIM. W. ball, has also been more evenly
distributed through the year Thus in June,
July and September, usually our drest months,
we find an average Of two and half inches Of
rain in each month. And the total rainfall for
the year was nearly 50 inches. The average for
series Of years, as registered by Captain Daniel
Smith and published in tie last edition of Jarves'
History, is 3S.38 inches. During November we
had the extraordinary fall Of nearly nine inches
Of rain during one night.
The weather in December. commencing about
the date Of the transit Of Venus. was for the
most part very mild, light westerly and northerly
winds prevailing, with cool, dewy nights, during
which the thermometer fell frequently to about
co and on several occasions below that figure.
This cool weather has continued into the present
year 1875, the thermometer at sunrise having
ranged from 52o to 6S and during one night,
the 9th Of January, it dropped to 5O1S Q as reg
istered at the Transit of Venus observatory in
this city, which is the coolest we have ever
known it to be here, though on the other Islands
the mercury often falls to from 90 to SOC. |
We append the following account Of the rainfall |
for the year 1874. as kept by Mr. HaIl at his resi-
dence in Nuuanu Avenue, short distance above |
