More and more the European market
becomes dependent on the American
farmers for food.

THE RESULTS or WAR.

The indianapolis Sun takes comfort 20
itself as follows:
..The chances for war in this country
are improving. A conflict OF arms IS
not impossible. Such conflict would
soon send government bonds below par
in gold and what paper currency is in
existence would seek investment IN real
estate as method Of salvation to the
present holders. Real estate prices
would be better and currency would cir
cnlate a little. SO the calamity Of wal
would not be an unmixed evil"
Both parties would initiate the curren
cy. but the trouble is it would be under
circumstances that would make the cur
rencv of little value to anybody.

the financial issues OF the day, which the
Hard None editors are endorsing in the

that it is impossible toidetermine by any

follows that the talk about the advan-
taees of "uon-exportable currency" is
bosh. Exportability is necessary in or
der that thu supply may always be reg

and that the exchanges OF commodities
among different countries may be main

exported or imported for the same rea-
son that wheat or cotton is exported or
mported-because there is an excess IN
one country. and 4 detlciency in another.

where il Is deficient it is dear. 1t is sent

abundant until the excess is drawn off,
and its value rises until it will no longer

countries have the power to drain away
all our metallic money is childish. For
eion countries have no more power TO
drain away our specie than they have to

we shall be gamers thereby. Just as we
are gamers when they take our surplu:

THE SCARCITY OF MONEY.

The Litchfeld Independent publishes
the following significant article:
"A gentleman of this State, says the
Indianapolis Sun, whose business as a
money lender and banker for years,
give him peculiar facilities for knowing
the financial situation of the West, stated
during the week that in his opinion
there is not money enough in several
states, such as Missouri, Illinois and
Indiana, to pay the interest due on mort
gage notes to eastern capitalists. If all
the cash in the rural districts were
scraped together and shipped east, the
over due interest would not be dis
charged. This may not be true, but il
is not far out ofthe way: The very breac
