RED WING MIMI, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST t. 1877

"e1r were fortunate IN DelDG repre-
sented on the ground by those with
whom they were lavorites, and, there
fore, received greater attention than
the other two. The "Crosby," it is
true had its agent on the ground, but it
was rot provided with q special team
and but little work was performed with
it, and the "Skinner'' was like a a pocr
boy at frolic, whatever attention was
bestowed upon it coming from the cham
pions Of its rivals. For these reasons,
the contest was really between the
"Weir" and "Garden City," and it is
hardly fair to the other that they should
be mentioned as competing for the de.
cision. Again, there was no organiza-
ton Of the spectators, no committee, no
vote taken, and, hence, it cannot be
certainly declared which way the major
ity decided. AS far as we could ascer-
tain the opinion Of those present was
nearly equally divided, but we cannot
pretend to say in which direction the
majority inclined.
Our own opinion in the premises
would be Of no value were we to give
it, inasmuch as we are not practical
farmer and might overlook important
merits. We think, however, that We
are justified IN saying that all the
plows there We're excellent, and one
could hardly 60 amiss in purchasing any
one of them. IF farmer should Juv 4
"Weir. " plow it is not likely that he
would ever regret it, and the same
would, no doubt, be the case If he
should purchase a "Garden City,
"Cr osby,'' Or "Skinner.'' An attempt
was made to test the drafts, but we do
not believe that the test was sufficiently
fair to justify a conclusion based uron
it, and fof this reason; the dynemome-
ter used placed the team about eight
inches farther from the plow than the
ordinary draft. The effect was of course
to make the areG heavier. The fact
that the plows are hung differently to
the frames forbids the conclusion that
all were affected alike by this extersslon,
as will be readily understood, a1d aence,
Il test which alters the position of the
team relatively.to the draft is reall y no
test. In this case, too, one team was
considerably taller than the other, a
fact which would sS NJ i"l'y affect the
The only conclusion, then, that we
can come to IS that the trial wa deci-
dedly inccnclusive as to the con,paca-
tive merits of the plows, but conclusive
that trey are all good.

The politician who wishes to be
succe ssful in this country for the next
few years, must study the subject of
finance thoroughly, for the people will
not continue to support those who favor
policy which leads only to general
bankruptcy and ruiI.. And, in order to
prevent the management of public af-
fairs falling into the hands of incompc-
tent charlatans, who will seek to attain
honors and distinction by catering to
the worst passions of the people, it be-
hooves!every intelligent citizen to ander-
stand thoroughly the great question of
the day and insist upon the adoption of
correct principles. What tke country
now has is a monetary system which
tends to concentrate the wealth in the
hands of the few: what it needs is a
monetary system which will tend to diff
fuse the wealth among the many. This
is not communism, and those who are so
fond Of denouncing, as cornmunistic,
every argument that is urged for the re-
lief Of the people, seem to overlook the
fact that, in their zeal, they are advoca.
ting an oligarchy which is rs odious to
sensible people rs the mest radical So
cinlisna. 1t is the rnean between these
extremes that we need to strike.
The Wier plow is admitted to be, as
good as the best, If not the best.

Where is the Remedy?
EATON, Ohio, July 23d. 1877.

AAAO>, OulOs OuAy &ou. 1911.
Dear Sir: n = Permit me t(
trouble you further. 1t is your habit
to study pretty thoroughly every ques
tion about which you are called upon tc
express an opinion, and I have found
your judgments to be generally sound
Now l am desirous to know what, in
your opinion, has caused the existing
hard times, and where we are to look
for remedy. Has the resumption act
anything TO do with it? And do YOU
favor an expansion Of the currency
! y :: ::
Our correspondent has our thanks for
his good opinion of our Judgment, al
though we know that We often, unfor-
tunately, fall into errors, even after hav-
ing carefully analysed the matter sub.
mitted to us. The questions he pro-
pounds are very important ones just at
this time, and ought not to be answered
hastily. The reply should be accom-
panied with 4 demonstration in each in
stance which will make its truth palpa-
bic. AS we have not now room for this,
we can only promise him that we will
take an early occasion to answer him
as his queries deserve.
We may say now, however, that we
do believe that the resumption act and
all preceding and subsequent forced con-
fractions and expansions of the currency
medium has had a good deal to do with
causing existing hard times. We be.
ieYe that the true remedy lies in the
adoption Of a financial system which
will afford currency susceptible of au-
tomato contractions and expansions,
when these are respectively demanded
by the wants Of trade, We care not
whether the medium be gold, silver,
nickel, copper, ifon, parchment, or pa.
per, or any or all Of these, if it is so
conditioned that it's volume cannot be
Reduced or increased by combinations
whether these be associated as bank, ,,
ers, brokers, merchants, Or under any
other name. Contractions by hoar ding
cannot, perhaps, be avoided, but when
the financial system permits boarding
which may not be attended with loss of
interest, it encourages constant fuctua.
tions in the volume of the currency and,
in consequence, incessant variations in
its relative value, which must, of course,
work continual disturbances in values
Of all kinds Of property and merchan-
die and render all investments in in
dustrial enterprises unsafe, because of
their uncertainty. Our present curren-
cy system places it in the power of a
few men to contract and expand the
volume of currency at will, and they use
this means to enrich themselves at the
expense of all other members of the
community. In this we think lies the
/ evil. But we will endeavor to explain
the subject fully hereafter, as it dc.
mands discussion.

lie rlOtS growing out OF the
railroad strikes have ceased and
order is restored. This is due to the
facts that, in some instances, the de-
mands of the workman have been ac-
Ceded to and that the workmen were
themselves generally opposed to riot
ing and destruction of property and
cid not want to seem to be parties
to such outlawry. The excesses of
the mob tended more to defeat the
purpose of the workmen than all
other causes combined. and it is to
be hoped that their manly conduct
IN promptly expressing disapproval
OF and in aiding to suppress the mobs,
will be allowed to operate as a strong
influence in their favor.
Jay Gould and few others Of
his set are demanding a monarchy,
as the only preventive of such scenes
as have recently occurred in our
large cities. 1t is fortunate thing
for Mr.. Gould and his friends that
they have lived in a free country for
the last twenty years or SO. they
might otherwise be serving the State
N striped livery; for, in a republic,
there is more chance for the rich as
well as for the poor to escape the
penalty of their acts. than in a mon
archy.
The entire press Of the country
seems now to be demanding a strong
standing army to suppress riots and
preserve order. Gentlemen, when
any large proportion of the people Of
q country have to be kept in subjec-
ton by force of arms, that country is
no longer free. TO constitute a free
government, with free citizens, the
former should be SO conducted that
the latter will be at Al, times ready 70

)cnce.
The rule is now to ,lenounce

Country to become idlers and tramps
