IMMEDIATE RESUMPTION.

Democracy has always demanded
sound money. In the past favored q
currency composed of coin and con-
vertible paper and such rs we under
stand them are its present demands.
With regard, however, to Immediate
resumption, there is some diversity
of opinion, and unfortunately the
matter is assuming a sectional as
pect. We are satisfied, however,
that the Democratic party will be a
unit when the proper time arrives 10
establish a permanent currency.
Upon the question of Immediate
resumption we have already given in
our fealty to the platform formulated
at Jefferson City and recently con-
firmed by the Congressional Conven.
ton of tLis nist~ist.
1t is now pretty certain that re
sumption will commence on new
year. Indeed the opinion prevail:
extensively that it is as good as prac-
tically inaugurated already. The
public are usually right, but time
alone can confirm their present judg-
ment.
With the coin accumulated in the
treasury MI. Sherman may commence
to redeem grtenbacks, and if rein
forced by additional and judicious
legislation he may even make specie
payment a permanent condition OF
the currency.
What the farmers are most inter
ested in is the effect redeeming green
backs will have upon agricultural
products.

employment. So long as there shall
be fsmines in India and China; so
long as there shall be populations in
Europe whose meals seldom include
orn or wheat bread there need be no
fear OF either superabundant popula-
tons or productions in our fertile
territories.
But, should such resources fail us
and should there even be other mis-
carriages, should we be misgoverned
as in the past, have civilization turn
ed backward upon itself as in the
south, or should our finances be as
miserably mismanaged as heretofore,
there are too many evidences exist
ing of our abilities and greatness in
other directions than agriculture to
doubt the future. Our staples will
then form the basis OF new industries
and our experience give rise to new
processes that shall excel even oul
agricultural machines, that are find
ing so much favor abroad, which
seem destined to work such revolu'
lions in foreign agriculture, and are
sure in the end to send crowds of i'm
migrants to reinforce the populations
| of the far west.

CORRESPONDENCE.

KIRKsvILLE, Mo-, Sept. 9th, '78.
FRIEND BOB: AS 1 thought your
readers would like to hear something
from this part of the state / will en-
deaVor to give you a few lines.
Kirksville is not as neat a town as
I expected to see, everything seems
to be hanging around promiscuously;
side walks very poor and hogs and
stock of all kinds running at large.
1 am just thinking what a fine time
Jim Nc. would have gathering them
up. They have no court house, but
hold court in a private building.
Business is not as brisk as in Mexico
there are more teams in Mexico in
the middle of the week, than you see
here OH Saturday.
The Normal opens next Tuesday ;
students are coming in from all quar-
tiers, the school is going to be very
full this year. There are some fears
that the Mastin Bank steal will make
some difference in the appropriations
next year.
The crops in this section are not
as good as in Audrain, owing to the
drouth. The peach crop is almost q
failure, but the apple crop is pretty
good.
House rent is cheap, from 81 0C
to SO per month. Wood So 90 pei
cord, coal 10 cents per bushel and
everything in proportion.
Politically speaking this county is
a totalIfailure, for the Greenbackers
will carry it and that much is lost
forever.
The fair commences here ncxt
week and continues four days.
The new railroad is completed &c
the Charlton river, where they ale
building a bridge.
1 will send this short sketch this
time and should you give it space ]
will give you n nor elaborate de,
scription of the schools of this place
next week. jim.

Such immense exports were not &C
cidental. There is no way of ac-
counting fol- them without connect
ing them with the accumulation and
boarding of coin in the national treas
urn.
1t might be equally profitable to
remember how these immense ship
ments were payed for.
1t is not long since it was estimat-
ed that $500, 900, 900 U. S. bonds
we're held in foreign countries. AT
present it is stated that not over
5000, 600, 600 are owned abroad.
There can be no doubt that the bonds
sent home and bought in this coun-
try constitute the offset to the excess
of export set forth in the foregoing
table.
What we want farmers to ponder
and answer is this: If greenbacks
had been convertible in 1867 and 8,
would agricultural products or coin
have left this country in payment Of
the bonds purchased?

IOUF5 ITHIy,
III. C.. SEXTON,

SOME of the best men in the county
are Greenbackers and are c~onscien-
tious in their belief, but if they will
only think, they will e that nothing
can be accomplished out side of the
party, and the way it stands now
they are working for Republicans and
just made guys on. of,for apart that
is the hardest of hard money parties.
If you will only think for a moment
you will see that you are being fooled
and Lead off by such fanatics as Ed.
Wright, who never had q thought Of
his own and is simply the mouth
piece of Hill and Pomeroy, because
he can not get the same position un
der any one else. Ed. Haley talks
with some little reason and discre-
ton, but it always makes us tired to
hear Wright talking about what he
knows nothing.

OUR

immigration is the safety-valve Of
this country and its history is the
record of national development. Our
progress has varied with the volume
of our movement West. There have
been seasons when its spirit like the
presidential fever raging south of us
was infectious and contagious. Still
it never injured industry. II has
ever been the result and relief rather
than the cause of depression and
therefore there was no effort to arrest
it. 1t has always been that when
skilled labor was too numerous in the
east that immigration opened up to
it new sources of employment. 1t
was when the vilocity of eastern ma
chinery outstripped the speed of
consumption and demand, that i'm
migration founded fresh states and
empires to be supplied.
A former depression and its ac-
companying immigration did as much
for Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Michigan as the
present has achieved for Texas,
Kansas, Colorado, Dacota and Nc
braska, and therefore no n fears
that the present drain Of laborers
from all other departments into that
of agriculture will result in produc-
tons exceeding future demands On
the contrary every one thinks our
staples are destined to ~replenish the
markets of the world.
Never before as within the past
few years have farm products fur
nished such abundant basis and means
of commercial enterprise. Immense
as has been their export, what has
been done in them is but the ~foretaste
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of tile future.
Great as is the area of our present
cultivation, long as are the distances
overcome by railroads and enor-
nous as is our present export, all
these are destined to be greater.
What has been done thus far upon a
comparatively small scale by a few
western States will be done hereafter
upon z prodigious one, when the un-
occupied region west of us, far great
er than that which has yet heen cul-
tivated, shall add its crops to those
already sown and reaped.
When millions of our people shall
be settled in the territory that lies
twixt Colorado and the CALIFORNIA;
and millions from Europe shall be
added to them, ell win find profitable
