Under our beautiful financial sys-
tenn, bank panics are becoming COM
mon. In the days of general conf
dence if a farmer had some surplus
money, he would inquire among his
neighbors and if one needed some
would loan it to him. Now they run
to the bank and deposit it. By the
time a few more banks go up, the
people will conclude their money will
be more safe nearer home. Banking
at ten per cent. interest in advance
with frequent ren 'Eals has cut it:
own throat and the mourners do mo-
go about the streets.

The Cincinnati Gazette is now &C.
cupying the precise grounds on the
currency question the Democrats did
in 1S69-70. Every friend to an
american system of finance will kail
with delight so able and efficient an
advocate as the Gazette to the ranks
of currency reformers Let the good
work go on and the West and South
stand united againstthe Shylocks Of
Wall Street and Europe. We only
regret that it should for SO long have
waged war against the labor and blu.
siness interests of the country. We
hope to have many more of our op
ponents sing, "Hold the fort, for we

Our circulation in Bank notes is
three hundred and fifteen millions
greenbacks three hundred and fifty
nine millions, and fractional curren-
cy sixteen million, making in all a.
bout fifteen and ive-third dollars per
capita. All III gold is practically
locked up-about sixty millions Of
greenhacks are held as Bank reserves
taxes lock up vast amounts a large
part of the year, so that the actual
amount of money free for business
purposes will not amount to ten dol

The threshing Of wheat thus far
shows that it is turning out from
eight to twenty-five bushels per acre
in our county. The acreage in our
county is one-third less than usual,
so that the average yield will be a.
bout fifteen bushels, which has cost
to produce it about $1,25 per bush
ell. If money yer plenty so that the
selling of it could be controlled it
would bring $500 per bushel with
the foreign demand, but with short
finances we feari it will drop to 81, 90,
Greenbacks at one time helped the
price of wheat and labor and did our
farmers no harm. Why would they
not again?

The individual selected by the Re

Says Tom HUBBARD in the Belle

of holding the Democratic State Con-
vention in advance of the Republi-

as now seems probable, the Republi.

Wheat is tumbling-scarcity of
money is the cause. Farmers are
pinehed and must food the market.
The foreign demand is good but far,
mers are not able to hold back and
take the advantage of it. Europe
will be benefited and our farmers
injured to the extent of millions Of
dollars, for the simple reason tina,
they must sell. How much longer
will our Republican farmers support

THE RAIL ROAD STRIKE.

The Railroad strike of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad has proved
to be of the most serious nature. 1t
has not only involved the loss of life
and property, but has deranged bu-
siness to a greater or less extent
throughout the entire country. 1t is
one of the bitter fruits of the finan-
cial mismanagement and demagog-
uery, which for years has triumphed
in our country. The laboring clas-
ses, deceived over and over again by
promises of better times after cleo
tions, yet as soon as an election has
been secured, reduction after reduc-
tion of their scanty wages have been
made, until these great corporations
do not pay their employers enough
to keep the wolf of hunger from the
door of those who risk life and limb
in their service. 1t is no wonder
that laboring men every where sym.
pathise with the strikers, or that
capitalists stand appalled, that a ter
rible Commune, armed, equipped anG
resolute, confronts the powers of gov
eminent called to its aid.
We do not wish to encourag,

toiling millions bear, any more thai

THE ARMY BILL IN THE SENATE.
The conduct of the democratic Senators during
the debate on the Army Appropriation bill this
afternoon contrasted fayoraby with the action OF
the Democratic Representatives IN the House when
the same bill was discussed in the south wing of
the Capitol. There were no attempts to shackle
the Federal Cover nment in the use of its troops,
or to make political capital out OF the employ
ment OF the army tor the suppression of riots, or
TO reopen tue Psndoras box OF political agitation.
Mr.. Beck declared his belief that the number of
officers IN the army was altogether dlsprOpoftion-
ate to the number of enlisted men, and SAID that
at the next session he hoped to see the organza
ton perfected, but that he should vote for the bill
before the Senate. When vote was reached on
the amendment striking out the direction in the
House bill that four full cavalry regiments were
to be kept In service on the Texan frontier and
that the entire force should not exceed 10000
men, Mr.. Thurman moved TO make the number
Z0OUO The Vice President ruled, however, that
the amend ment Of the committee was fist in Or
der, which not only fixed the humber at % 900
Out struck out the directions as to where certain
regiments would be stationed, which was an inter
terence with the power Of the President as Com.
mander-ln Chief. TIE Republican Senators of
course voted Tor this am ndment and 50 did Sem
atois Bayard, Garland, Lamar, Maxey, and Ran
dolph. Now the bill Is TO 10 back to the House
and there Is no reason why it cannot be sent to
the PRESIDENT iOf his signature before the close of
Tie week.
THE DERATE on FINANCE.
There was smother day of financial de bate in the
House. The discussion of the question seems to
increase rather than diminish the desire TO partci.
pate in debate. Yesterday, at the beginning of
the session, there were thirty -four names down to
speak to-day, when debate ended the number of
prospective speakers had increased to forty. The
speeches to-day were delivered by persons whose
utterances, with few exceptions, do rot gem
orally attract much attention IN the House. 1t is
now the intention of the managers oi the bill to
have a vote taken Saturday. Ening, who fathers
the scheme, is confident of very large majority,
but has probably abandoned the potion OF two
| thirds which he had when The bill WAS first intro
duced. Eames Of Rhode Island made very ear
nest speech IN opposition to the bill as did his col
league, Ballou, who is always listened to with

Secretary Schurz, who claimed to control
the appointment because he is a resident
of St. Louis. aud asked for the appoint
ment of personal friend and democrat
TO The office.
This much is certain, the ice is fairly
broken between the President and the re-
publican Senators, and the chances for
agreement are greatly increased thereby.
Both sides stand on far better ground

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA.
The President renomiuated Mr.. Filley to-day
to be postmaster at St. Louis. Mr.. Filley's first
term of Office expired some time last Summer, and
his reappo intment was advocated by all the prom
inent republicans Of Missouri. except ex Congress
man Fnkelnburg, by the most influential mer
chants OF St. Louis, by all the newspapers in that
city except The Globe democrat, and by the Post
master. General. Secretary Schurz, Mr.. Finkeln-
burg, the editor of the Globe Democrat. and a
few others, urged the appointment of Mr.. Hayes
This subject had been repeatedly considered in
the Cabinet during the past few months, the last
time at the meeting held yesterday but owing to
Secretary Schurz's opposition to the reappoin-
ment OF Mr.. Filley, no decision was reached by
the President. Last evening he took up the papers,
carefully examined them, weighed the recon-
mendations of both Mr.. Filley and MIR. Hayes,
and acting manly on his own Judgement, reach
ed the conc usion that there was reason why
Mr. F.l!ey should not be allowed to retain his
place for another term. In no previous instance
has the President made an important appointment
in which any member of his Cabinet had a strong
personal interest without accceding to the request
of the latter.
