THE value of determined, persistent ef-
forts in the cause of public peace and
good morals is illustrated by the outcome
OF the contest which has been for some
time kept up between the temperance peo-
pie of Cresco and the saloon keepers. The
latter, with charac teristic lawlessness, de-
termined to pursue their business in their
own way, and sell what and to whom
they chose. The temperance people kept
up fire of prosecution under the prohi,
bitory law, making it extremely hot for
the whisky men, until the latter were glad
to sign paper pledging themselves to
quit selling whiskey, and to sell nothing
but ale, wine and beer, which is no: tor.
hidden by law. Stringent regulations
are also made as to minors and inebrlstes.
If even this measure of restriction could
be applied to the saloons of this city,
crime would be less frequent and taxes
lighter

Reduce the Rate of Interest.

When farming hand. were RECEIVING S25
a monrh and their hoard, we had money
IN this country, and the rate Of interest on
the small volume of United States bonds,
then held was nolarger than now. AZ the
volume Of bonds was increased, the amonnt
of interest drawn each year was greater by
millions upon millions of dollars each sue
ceeding year Az money became scarce in
the country, so business OF all kind WAS
more uncertain. Man could not safely start
their enterprises or profitable carry them
on. Ther, the wages of workingmen went
down, down; lower and still lower Means
while the volume of bonds has gone up, up,
higher and still higher! The boundholder
receiving the same rate of interest now when
farm hands are working for $40 mounth
as he did when they were receiving $50 per
month!
While farmers, labors mechanics and bus
mess men are willing to bring their proper
ty lower and still lower, we do not see why
they do not demand that the bondholder
should come down with than, receiving a
rate of interest exactly proportionate. -

Probable European Demand for Grain.

LONDON, SEPT l-Mr. James Card, !
in his annual letter to the Times on the /
harvest prospects, after speaking of the de- |
fciency in the wheat crop in England, and
estimating that the foreign sudply required
can not te less than 100000 quarters,
says: If we were the only country that re-
quired help, and five could rely on the con
tinuance of the large scale of foreign i'm
port which has marked the last foua years.
there would be little cause for apprehension,
but with the exception of some parts of
Spain, all western Europe is deficient, and
the ports of the Black Sea are closed while
a renewal of the famine in India can hardly
admit of any increase of the large supply we
have received from that quarter during the
present year. We must, Therefore, look to
America for considerable increase even on
her great exports Of the last four years, and
if the war in Turkey continues, the waste
resources of tee United States and Canada
will, indeed, be severely taxed to make good
the wants OF this small home crop of 1875,
supplemented by the largest import we have
ever yet received, afforded 81 bushels per
head The deficient crop of 1876, with an
import which somewhat exceeds Is. 900,
600 quarters, has afforded very little over 2
/ bushels. If the Black Sea ports continues
closed for the coming harvest year, We may
have to restrict consumption to considerably
less than bushels head The other home
grown crops promise little aid, barley be,
ing deficient, and oats not above an averge
while potatoes are much diseased. In 1866
and 1867, when, from too deficient crops
and comparatively small imports, the quan
J tity of wheat for consumption fell below
bushels a head, the price twenty-five years
the quantity has on several occasions faller
below that mark, and the price of these year
has averaged 6Oshillings. If therefore, thu
Black Sea points continue closed during th'
coming harvest year, we may be Thankful
if it goes no higher"
