short, that Mr.. Hayes, while refusing
patronage" to come grants it to others
and uses IL himself In ways and for pur
poses not bit better than those OF the
most confirmed machine politicians,
they are angry and cast doubt on the
sincerity of his professions.

Money Matters.
TCincinnati Commercial, sept, 1871

Several circumstances show the competent
observer that we are beginning to realize the
advantages Of the close approach to specie
payments. There Is a strong feeling that
there will not be backward step taken; that
the credit Of the government will go on i'm
proving. This means that we are to have d
stable currency; that prices have come down
almost, II not altogether, to solid values
that fluctuations in the value of the dollar
will be slight. Hence the building that is so
much remarked, and that. is giving employ
ment to thousands OF mechanics in our midst.
The crop OF the year Is extraordinary and
1T is beginning to move. When 1t Is fully I'M
der way we shall realize that this Is still @
great country in other than it's geographical
proportions, with exhaustless riches of soil
and beHeficence of climate. Our crops are GO
ing abroad, and our bonds are coming home,
to be refunded at a lower rate of interest
The government is looking to its current
Indebtedness, and has ceased to bull the bonds.
and turning out silver The trade dollar
which Is two per cent better in metal than the
old dollar, is making its way into circulation
and there here is especially J., demand for it by
few trade dollars have beautiful lustre in
the toe Of a stocking.
The demand for money to move the crops
has reduced the greenback reserve in New
York, and as bonds are cheap and banking
free, National bankers are coming to the opin-
ion that they can make money out Of circula-
ton, ana they are beginning to buy bonds
and put out notes according to law. In the
course of the next three months we may ex-
pect heavy shipments of gold to the country,
q large issue of bank notes, and a large ad-
ditional circulation of trade dollars. This
would seem to promise all the money that
the people can use, and it comes In gold, sill
yer and paper, the result Of full crops, free
banking, and growing public confidence.

Intrignes Against the Freight Pool.
New York Bulletin

Some opposition has been manifested on
the part of large Western shippers here to
the freight-pooIing arrangement, and firms
that have lately been shipping by the New
York Central route are now sending their
goods by the Pennsylvania road. 1t is report
cd that certain inducements are held out by
the latter in the shape of rebate, but this of
course cannot be verified, as each company Is
bound by the pooling compact to maintain
the rates. 1t is learned, however, that the
secret of the opposition of the large West
ern shippers is due to the fact that under the
apportionm ant scheme they have no advan-
tage in rates over the smallest shipper, all
being now on an equality. Formerly large
concessions were made to them which, under
the present management, have all been
abolished. In order to break up the pool
sort of combination was formed to ship all
goods by the New York Central, but that plan
having failed they are now trying to accom-
plish their purpose by sending via the Penn
sylyania road. How far the design will sue
ceed remains to be seen. A meeting of the
railroad presidents was to have been held

The Liberia CoHee Plant.

If the following statements, which we clip
from the n Y. Bulletin, are correct, the
Liberia plant Is worthy of some attention
from Southern planters In the rice and sugar
districts:
1t will be remembered that the Lberian
coffee plant at the Centennial took the premi-
um over all others. But because OF the
virtual monopoly in these plants, although
used In India and the Island Of Ceylon it has
An English gentleman anpounces that he has has
broken the monopoly and opened the plants
to public demand. 1t is claimed that the
Liberian is vastly superior to the ordinary
coffee arabica in size, flavor and productive
ness, and that It Is so robust that 1t will
readily grow in swampy soils hitherto used
only for suceuient plants as sugar. The
product per acre is stated to be fully ten
times that of coffee arabiCa.
