rue MONEY QUESTION.

When Congress gets settled down to
consideration Of something besides roliti. |
cal matters, We shall expect its attention
to the subject Of finance, aud 1t should un
derstand that today America IS following
tho exploded humbugs Of British political
economy which have 50 long deceived
mankind and kept them in commercial
dependence upon the money monarchs.
The advanced thought Of England pre-
sented by such men a. Herbert Spencer,
Stuart Mil, and Sir Archibald Allison,
tho historian scout the nonsense Of a "gold
basis." In our mother country, rs here,
= mighty agitation is shaking the land
they are seeking to rid themselves OF that
relic Of barbarous times-gold As the only
basis Of money! The United Chambers
Of Commerce, including sixty.ninc Boards
Of Trade, recently petitioued Parlimcnt to
review the present system of supplying
currency. which brings about panic
regularly once in ten years, causing even
the Bank Of England to seek relief. They
point to France as al example OF what a
nation may do by relying solely upon
credit money, issued by the nation. and
made q lcga!.tender for all debts. BY
means Of this money France stimulated
her industries, gathering up every atom Of
her productive power, she shipped to
other nations goods enough 70 pay a bill.
lion dollars in gold to Germany in two
years. To-day she has more than I'VE
hundred millions Of gold In her vault and
il besides the most prosperous nation in
Europe. Her paper was par With gold. when
every dollar of her coin WAS sent away to
pay her war deb! Gold came TO her as it
will come to cverv nation by the laws OF
trade In exchange for surplus productions.
Abundant gold money in circulation, OF
on deposit 10 an EXPECT, not cause. 1t
/. merely symptom Of Industrial and
commercial prosperity. Contraction Of
the currency can never bring it.
The Rreeuback circulation may be re.
sssicted until there IS less than thousand
dollars Of it In circulation, but that will
not make gold any moro abundant.
While gold is = full legal tender and
paper curreneyi Is not, gold will he At
premium. Money Is made BY coinage or
by printing, aud it, value il conferred by
law, and it 10 this legal value which makes
it available for the payment Of debts. OF
course gold and silver have commercial
value =, bullion, but that adds nothing
desirable to their use as money. Every
other commodity has the same relative
value, but nobody urges that because q
thing 10 valuable it shalt be used as
money. VIVA, the world needs is cur
rency which enjoys the full faith and
credit Of the nation by which it is issued,
for only such can have the elements OF
stability which are essential TO usefulness

y Blessing in Disguise.

Every cloud has u silver liuinr.
and the cloud ofhard times appears
to be not altogether an exception.
ior, ii there is no huge mounains
or sheets of silver peering over the
margin, at least a lot of dimes and
quarters glitter along its caves.
Whilst business is depressed and
fortunes are shrinking away,whilst
great factories and shops are idle,
and capital is avoiding investment
in industrial or active pursuits, and
whilst the strongest enterprises
are feeling the pinch of the gener-
al depression, there is not only the
one good lesson of economy being
taught 10 the masses, but a multi.
tude of small industrial interpri-
ses are being started, which will
yet become the foundation offuture
activities,as we'll us teachers of self.
reliance to workmen. We allude
to the laudable efforts made by
honestand energetic mechanics.
who are out of employment,to gain
a livelihood by an independent
prosecution of their trades.
Many instances can be noted
where mechanics, being out of
employment, have taken their tools
to their homes, procured small
supply OF raw material and there
worked it up into handy, useful
and ornmental articles which ,hev
sell from door to doer. Carpen.
ters, wire workers, and cabinet
makers in particular, have earned
subsistence for their families bv
thus industriouslyoccupying them
selves, and nave thus discovered
their independence Of employers,
which they would never have done
had not the hard times forciblv
emancipated them fIom dependence
upon stipulated wages for their
livelihood.
Thus large number of depend.
ent industries have been started
and good mechanics have found
what they can do. These men
have set up for themselves in q
small way, and industry, intelIi-
gence, application and frugalitv
will soon increase their patronage
and extend their connects, ms mil
their own shops will spring up and
multitude of thriving industries
and enterprises make up for the
large factories and great works

MATE.
TEA THAT is Born Foop AND
DRINK.


Amongst the best effects of the
great exhibition is TO bring the
American people in contract will
the various industries of foreign
counties, which could be done III
perhaps no better manner. There
are some products which have been
used with advantage, in other coun-
tries, and which could be intro
duced into this country with ad-
vantage, either by growth or rs a
material of commerce.
Amongst the many natural pro-
ducts of Brazil the mate tree may
be counted as one OF the most valua-
BILE. 1t is nourishing beverage,
and is prepared like tea Or coffee
by an infusion in hot water, and
by those who have used it is con-
sidered as possessing advantages
over both these beverages. In the
market it appears either in the form
of dry powder or in dried leaf.
1t is well known substance, and
not one to be experimental upon.
1t is in general use among the
southern provinces of Brazil, at the
river Platte, and in Chill as daily
exclusive drink. 1t constitutes one
Of the most important articles ol
the commerce of Parana, Rio
Grande do Sui, and Paraguay,
where it is known by the name OF
Helva Yerba.
The distinguished hotanist, DR..
Caminhoa, Professor ut the medi.
cal college OF Rio de Janero. gives
the following as the result Of sew
eral analyses: First. Mate contains
less essential oil and is therefore
not so exciting as black or green
tea. In fact, cXperince proves
that mate is better adapted to ner-
vous persons, to women and to
children than the other drinks.
Second. Mate contains more re-
sin than coffee, less than green
tea, and much less black tea. 1t
is therefore, more diruetic than
coffee, and as a stimulent it rivals
green tea.
The herva or mate makes an ar
omatic and pleasant drink, which
mitigates thirst, allays hunger, and
repairs the strength without fati-
guing or exciting. Taken with milk
and sugar it is us nourishing as tea
or coffee; with this advantage, how
evcr,that it does produce sleepless-
ness.
Alone and independent of any
other nouGi>hment an infusion will
sustain strength and vigor forwhole
days. 1t would be of great advan-
tage to persons at work at IL dis
tance from home, and in places
where nounishment cannot be OBJ
tanned, a. it is SO compact.
As a medicine it is recommended
in all cases where it is desirable TO
sustain or stimulate the forces and
to give nourishmcnt without fati-
guing the stomach.

the strain of the times. And the
community will be bettercd by the
change since a healthy competi-
tion will be engendered; monoplies
prevented; and better and cheaper
work turned out than heretofore.
I he tendency of tho time has been
to concentrate manufactures in the
hands Of great mill owners and to
turn out huge quantities of frail
ard worthless fabrics. The resto-
ration OF individual enterprises will
secure better fabrics; competition
will enforce better prices; the pub
lie will be bettered in the increase
of workshops and the mechanics
rendered HAPPIER and Independent by
controlling and managing their
own business. Thus the hard
times have not been barren of good
re-sults.-Reading Eagle.
