SUBSIDIES.

President Grant in his message
to Congress suggested the advisa-
bility of granting a sufficient sub
sidy to assist in maintaining line
of steamers between this country
and Brazil. which some of the
Eastern papers, particularly the
Chicago Tribune, urges the mem
bers of the Democratic party IN
Congress to pledge themselves III
caucus by resolutions to oppose
all subsidies and grants Of every
character. The Democrats have,
ere this, made some very goo1
fights under the anti-Subsidy ban
ner. but if they now take position
againat the appropriation Of
national money for an enterprise
which may rebound to the public
good, they act in direct opposition
to their proposed line of action,
as marked out by their talented
leader Mr.. Lemar. The suggestion
of the President in this regard is
fraught with more Importance to
our welfare and interest in our
commerce than one is apt at first to
suppose. For subsidized line of
steamers to Brazil would gather to
our ports a greater portion of ship
ing now carrying their burden OF
wealth to foreign shores, and surely
add to our commerce and national
prosperity. While awaiting their
action in this matter we still think
the Government should assist in
every possible manner in extending
the arms of our commerce until Its
smiles gladden. the waves of every
sea, and some of the riches of every
cline be gathered to our bosom.

PACE IMPLORA.

Better i. were to sit still by the sea,
Loving somebody and satisfied
Better ID were TO grow babes on the knee,
To anchor you down for all your days
Than to wander and wander 10 all these ways,
Land forgotten and love denied.
Better sit still where born, I ssy,
Wed one sweet woman and love her well.
Laugh with your neighbors, live in their way,
Be ii never so simple. The humber the home.
The nobler, indeed TO bear your part.
Love and be loved with all your heart.
Drink sweet waters and dream III q spell,
Share your delights and divide your tears;
Love and be loved in old east way.
Ere man knew madness and came to'roam
From the west to the east and the whole
world wide;
when they lived where there fathers had
lived and died
Lived so loved for a thousand years.
Better for the world, l say
Better indeed. for a mans own good
That he should sat down where he was born,
Be It land of sands or oil snd corn.
Valley of peoples or bleak northland,
White sea border or great black wood.
Or bleak white winter or bland sweet May,
Or city of smoke or plain Of the sun
Than wander the world as have done,
Breaking the heart into bits OF clay.
And leaving it scattered on every hand.

noticed the laudable California en-
terprise of which paper bearing
the above title is to take the lead.
Any medium which seeks to purify
the moral atmosphere of the Pacific

people more often into religious
channels, deserves the counte-
nance and assistance, of every good
man and every respectable news

SOXETHING ABOUT OUR IN.
LAND OCEANS.

We find an interesting article in
an Eastern paper, which promulgates
a new theory in regard to the water
supply of the chain of greater lakes
that furnish water navigation from
the head of Lake Superior to the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence. The theory
set forth is that there is a subterra-
mean feeder, or river, running from
Superior to Ontario, the writer claim
ing that the Detroit river alone can
not be equal in its flow to the guam
tity of water which the three upper
lakes receive from all their various
sources. As is well known, Lake
Erie is only sixty or seventy feet
deep, while Lake Ontario, which is
500 feet deep, is 230 feet below the
level of the ocean, or as low as most
parts of the Gulf of ST. Lawrence;
and the bottoms of Lakes Huron,
Michigan and Superior, although the
surface is much higher, are all from
their vast depths on level with tn
bottom of Ontario. Therefore, the
theory of an underground inlet to
Ontario is not an untenable one, and
may account for the singular fact
that herring and salmon are caught
in all the lakes communicating with
the St. Lawrence river. and no others.
As the Falls of Niagara-1s0 verti
cal feet in hight-must have existed
in all the past, it would puzzle the
naturalist to explain how these fish
got into the upper lakes without
some subterranean channel. OF
course L satisfactory solution of this
mystery would require the aid of
much scientific investigation and
years of research, but the labor Of it
would furnish fruitful study to those
whose life has been devoted to giving
to the world new facts in geology
and natural history. Here, then, is a
new work for that great navigator
and defner of ocean geography,
Lieutenant Maury, whose scientific
investigation Of the currents of the
ocean, and the many valuable charts
and works which he has given to the
world on that subject, have accom-
plished more for the safety Of ocean
travel than all other authors COM
bined. To Agassiz we owe much
for his many gifts of knowledge to
the world; to Lieutenant Maury,
more. The one is dead, and has de-
parted with the thanks Of a great
people. The other lives, with name
still great, but furnished by an active
disloyalty to the Government under
whose flag he was born and in whose
Naval Academy he first conceived
the ideas of navigation which have
made him great.

A novel case has been commenced
in the Fifteenth District Conrt by
Fred. Greer. who enters suit for
S9,240, money claimed to be due
for writing biographies of The
Representative Men OF California. "
Among these individuals, who find
it necessary to employ man with
brains enough to write eulogies on
such cyclists during their lifetimes
are Joseph Beldin. for 81, $50;
A. p. Hotaling, $3.50 ; e. j.
lucky Baldwin. Sl,450; j. W.
Pearson, $3.50; William L. Cole
man, $3.50; Vim. Burling, $3.50;
Alexander Austin, 5000 James
Phelan, $500 /; and Sam Brannan
$3.50.
We dislike to believe these men
would so far forget their dignity
and manhood as to resort to such a
contemplate way of gaining cheap
notoriety. At best it is a poor
satisfaction, but the proof seems so
conclusive that we are prone to be-
live it. The puffs which Mr.. Greer
could give them might, it is true,
elevate them in the estimation of a
few unacquainted with their lives
or acts, but the best laudation to
them, the best heritage which they
could possibly leave their families
and posterity, is the charitable acts
and the honorable impulses which
the dictates of a true conscience
and noble heart every day write
upon the day-book of time, and
when they had passed away beyond
the praise or condemnation of their
fellow men, their ledger would
show a clear balance that no mortal
pen could equal, and receive their
dues from Him whose noblest work
is an Honest man"

How They Have Managed The
Finances
Nashville American


Through Mr.. McCulloch, (who went in
to office as Secretary of the Treasury, q
poor man, and established a London
bank as soon as he left it, the Republican
or Grant party first contracted the cur
rency.
Then they made a law paying bonds in
gold, when the law under which they were
issued made them payable in greenbackS
Then they recalled seven thirty and
ten-forty bonds, so as to have the whole
debt funded in gold bonds.
Then they ordered the purchase of sill
yer to redeem fractional currency.
Then they passed law agreeing Rev-
er to tax the bonds.
Then they paid national banks gold in
terest on bonds, and besides, allowed
them to issue bank notes and make more
interest out of the monopoly of discount
ing them.
Then they depressed real estate and
the price of products, and all values, by
| contracting the currency.
They appreciated gold in the hands OF
mOnopolists, by threatening resumption
they knew was impracticable.
Then they ordered the issuance OF
more gold Understanding rag money to
buy up rag-money that pays no interest,
and, consequently, not burden on the
people.
They have from first to last encourages
coupon-clipping and discouraged protec-
ton
They have contracted the life ont of in
dustrial enterprises, and thrown thousands
of willing workers--men, women and
children-out of employment.
They have persisted in depreciating the
only currency the people have, without
the shadow of provision for other cur

Below we give in a nutshell the differ
ence, as explained by Gen. Ewing, at
lrontOn, Ohio, between Radicalism and
Democracy, on the finance questions.
Choose ye for yourselves:
The Republicans say the moneyed class
shall determine the proper volume of the
currency the Democracy say the people
shall determine it.
They say the business of the people shall
conform to such quantity of currency as
the banks can keep afoat redeemable in
gold; we say the volume of currency shall
conform to the wants of business.
They say the peoples money shall be
issued by pet corporations; we say 1t
shall be issued by the Republic.
They say the people shall pay interest
on the whole currency to the banks we
say the whole currency shall be part
of the debt bearing no interest.
They say the Understanding debt snail
be increased over four hundred millions
to buy up and destroy the greenbacks
and fractional currency; we say 1T shall
be reduced over three hundred millions by
substituting greenbacks for National
Bank notes.
The verdict of the people of Ohio on
these issues, rendered after full discus
sion, will, l believe, be ratified by. the
judgment of the American people. l have
no fear of the result. If it be shown that
the policy of the Democracy involves re-
pudiation or a wild scheme of imposture,
the intelligent and conservative masses of
our State will condemn it without in
structions from Wall street. But if it
shall appear to be consistent with Ma
tional honor and demanded by the inter-
ests of the people, the truculent billings
gate with which it has been assailed will
only emphasize the popular verdict in its
favor

q Powerful Organization.

We publish to-day some interesting
facts in relation to the extraordinary
growth of the Patrons of Hus5an dry, or
Changers, as the organization is usual lily
termed.
This body has, as we are told, a mem
bership of a million and a half. For in
stance, there are over two thousand sub
ordinate Oranges in Missouri alone, and
in some other States it is hardly less pow
erful. Its purpose is the cooperation
of farmers in different localities for their
mutual benefit, especially in the pur-
chase and sale of commodities without
the intervention of middlemen; though
ir some of the States their opposition to
what they regard as the unreasonable ex>
actions of railroad corporations has es
pecially attracted attention to their sper-
atoms
ANY interference with politics, as a bo-
DIV, is prohibited by the rules of the Or

I'm A Nutshell,

In accepting the Democratic nomins-
ton for Governor of Pennsylvania, Judge
Pershing says:
1.-THE legal tender issue has become in
corporated into the business of the coun-
try, and its constitutionallty has been
affirmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States. am opposed to infa-
ton IN its true sense, and initiation is not
demanded by the Erie platform. 1t OPP
poses any further contraction of the cur
rency Mt this time of financial distress,
when our workshops, mills and manufac
tories are closed, and thousands of men
willing to work are out of employment.
To expand the volume of the currency
when the people are mourning debts, and
to rapidly contract it When the time for
payment has come, will prove ruinous to
every business enterprise. The attempt
to force the country to a resumption of
specie payments, under the provisions OF
an act passed by the last Congress, will
only intensity the distress which now
everywhere prevails. We must cease
exporting gold TO pay interest on our in
debtedness abroad before specie pay
ments can safely be resumed. | favor

mate demands of business and the revi-
val OF the Industries OF the country may

thus, and it is to be hoped that an ade-
quate standard, or test for regulating the
amount of currency, may be established
by our representatives in congress.

that the people ask is that the volume
of money be made and kept equal to
the wants of trade, leaving the re.ttora-
