Wine Products Of Now Jersey.
D. Is. CARPENTER.

This State is becoming celebrated for
grape culture. Some of the richest port
in the world is produced in New Jersey
by Mr.. Alfred Speer. whose name has
become celebrated as a producer Of
strictly pure unauthorized wine. The
Port Grape Wine of Nr. Specr is not
bottled or put in market until it is four
wears old, and has become thoroughly
fine and mellow. l. has proved Won
derful assistance to physicians, who
prescribe it from the fact that they have
hitherto found it difficult to obtain 4
pure Port Wine. This Wine is recon-
mendcd for dcbilitated persons; and is
given TO cOnsumptiveS to use with fresh
raw eg@s; and as . medium for taking
cod liver oil. The difficulty Of getting
al imported or even a pure California
Port is Vel understood 10 be so great
as to preclude Doctors from allowing
their patients to run the risk Of its use.
Mr.. Spcer being aware Of this fact has
taken the utmost care in the making of
his wine from the ripest and finest
grapes, SO as TO suprlant the imported
wines by producing 4 genuine article.
His wines are known By chemists to be
pure and the most reliable for medicinal
purposes. The Druggists throughout
the country sell it, rs bottled by Mr..

The Mountain Meadow Massacre trial
at Beaver, Utah. is exciting great inter-
est throughout the country, and bids fair
to implicate the leading spirits of the
Mormon church in that horrible and
sickening crime. The massacre was
committed in 1857. Though justice has
long been delayed, it is now in a fair
way to be indicated.

There can be no greater mistake
than to lay the blame of the hard
times we experience upon the policy
OF contraction that has been pursued
by the Republican party to the best
Of its ability. Those who are dispos-
ed to find fault with the policy of
contraction i'll this regard must hold
that the hard times are caused by Il
scarcity of currency. But it is easily
seen that there is no scarcity of cur
renew. If there We're, the rate of in
tercst would be high; but it is a note
worthy fact that the rate Of interest
for loans on call is now lower in New
York than in London or any other
European capital. This proves in
contesiably that the supply of money
is greater than demand; that we still
have more currency than we need.
This, TOO, when we have contracted
to the extent Of several millions since
the beginning Of the year. The mia
tionists then ask, if we can only reach
a specie basis by contraction, why is
H. hat while we are still contracting
the currency, gold continues to rise?
There are three principal reasons,
though other causes combine to pro
ducc The general effect: 1st. We have
still too much currency for the bust
ness needs Of the country, Is is prov
ed by the low rate of interest and the
accumulation of unused green backs
at the money centers. End. The
doubt as to the financial future of the
country, superinduced by the fear
that the imitation policy may prevail
with the people, as illustrated by the
partial triumph of the Democratic
party, has a great effect upon the val
ne OF paper money, and that effect is
now being discounted. Sd. We are
still largely in debt abroad, and are
forced to drain the country Of specie
TO pay our debts. We have bought
more than we have sold. Our i'm
ports have been so far out of proper
ton to our productions which we
send, abroad, that we have to fall back
on our gold and silver mines as a
means Of payment.
The remedy lies in. importing less
