The HARD Times.

IS. At no former period in our history
has the want of money been more Sc
verely or more generally felt than at
the present time. 1t is the case in the
north rs well as the south, but in no
state, north or south is this necessity
more kecnly felt than in Texas No
new country can be developed without
money, for it is this that gives life, tone,
energy, system and vigor to whatever
business men see fit to embark in.
We are strongly inclined to the opin.
ion that the present poverty and needs
of the country are destined TO continue
unless the resumption act is repealed,
and greenbacks are made legal tens
der in the payment OF debts. 1t is n
burning shame that the bondholder,
worth one hundred thousand dollars in
United States bonds drawing semi
annual interest payable in gold, should
escape taxation, while the poor son of
toll who ploughs the ground and gath
ers in his little harvest, is taxed on
every article of property in his possess
sion, even down to box of matches.
There is not money enough in circula>
ton for the ordinary business transac>
tions Of life. New states are in process
of formation, our territory is expands
ing, our population is steadily on the
increase, our interests are becoming more
varied and multiplied, and each sue
ceeding year will add to our difficulties
if contraction, instead of expansion, is
to be the policy of our government, In
the summer season, when the waters
are low, it becomes impossible to navis
gate many of our noblest rivers, vessels
lie idly at the wharves and business be.
comes staguant and dull. This is con-
traction. But when the tide returns
with its broad bosom of waters, the
vessels are again in motion, and every
where along the shores are seen the
unmistakable signs of renewed life and
business activity. We sincerely trust
that our representatives in congress will
leave no means untried to unravel the
tangled skein Of finances and secure
to the people such relief as the
appalling necessities of the time seem
to demand
