i'm fractional currency; these tat
tered rags of currency being sub
by debased coin, accustoms
the common mind to the sight OF
coin to such a degree that 1T viii
keep quiet. Now let free banking
prevail! Al 6onClhOIdeg;S may in
dulge in our national bank system,
supported upon United States Sc
curities a note holder cannot lose;
depositors, who number many times
i'm raIae the note holders, may, they
do, and tCW lose just as the banks
are managed. National banks are
supposed, by Mr.. Sherman, when
based upon public securities, TO be
able to issue an unlimited" amount
q g '.sc,.--encv." except "by the wants
of himself" The wants on business
means in this connection, the crav-
ing usurious wants of bankers: SO
fortified that they cannot be dis
lodged, for Congress laid a 10 per
cent. embargo on State banks.
But the$380, 900, 900 of outstanding
greenbacks vet remained to remind
the people that nOn-interest bear
ing debt was more easily borne than
a gold bearing interest one; a step
was taken to authorize their with
drawal. A law was passed which
allowed an unlimited issue of ma
tiOnal bank notes, and fOur-tifths
of the amount thus issued of United
States Treasury notes by the Secre-
tary of Treasury-what resulted =?
Mr.. S. says sc, 900, 900 of notes were
issued since the first of last March,
by the national banks, and the re-
ductiOn of United States notes has
been So, 145, 264.
He admits, however, there has
been another reduction 'under a
different law" and "frOm the very
necessity of free banking (natiOnal
banks) are at liberty to retire their
currency, as well as to increase it
and this has been done by them
mot j. Sherman, except the little
sum in last paragraph since the lst
of January, 1875, to the amount of
$50, 684, 612,r and he alphabetically
tells us, that they did it ''guided
by" leach bank) interest and the
circulation it can safely and pru-
IDENTIFY maintain" Sincerely stated,
and this they can do, they can issue
an unlimited amount, and they may
retire an unlimited amount under
the guidance of interest" The
whole may be summed up in one
word, usury, extorted with thumb
screws, fortified and palisaded with
mortgages and founded upon the
granite certainty, that when wanted
votes can be bought to provide
against any contingency unless the
people send honest men to save
| them from the fruits of this national
bank policy, that will ultimately
acquire for a few men, all the land,
and all the political favor of the
| land. II. c.

Firm Butter without Ice.

From w. p. Hazards treatise on
butter and butter making, we eX-
tract the following: "In families, or
where the dairy is small, a good
plan to have butter cool and firm
without ice, is by the process Of
evaporation, as practiced in India
and other warm countries. Acheap
plan is to get a very large-siZed,
porous, earthen flOwer-pOt, with an
extra large saucer; half fill the saul
Ger with water, set in it a triVet or
light stand-such as is used for
holding hot irons will do; upon this
set your butter; over the whole in
vert the tlOwer-pOt, letting the top
rim of it rest in and be covered by
the water; then close the hole in
the bottom of the flOwer-pOt with a
cork; then dash water over the
fiOwer-pOt, and repeat the process
several times a day, or whenever it
looks dry. If set in a cool place, or
where the wind can blow on it, it
will rapidly evaporate the water
from the pot, and the butter will
be as firm and cool as if from an
ice house.
