abominable policy. 1t is from the
Peoria, Ill) journal. Read it and
ask yourself whether change of
policy is not necessary:
The situation is appalling. On
every side is heard the crash of COM
mercial failures. Houses that were
considered the safest and that stood
the longest are going down. and there
isn't assets enough left to furnish the
afflicted mourning creditors and
wherewithal to erect Il tombstone.
The wholesale merchant owes the
manufacturer; the smaller jobber
owes the wholesaler; the country
merchant owes the small jobber; the
farmer owes the retailer. The latter
has been carried so long that credit
has become his nominal condition.
He cannot pay, and cannot get it to
market if he would. Consequently
the whole commercial fabric Of which
he is the base, and the manufacturer
the apex, tumble to the ground to-
gether. The list of daily failures
that burden the telegraph now, hardly
excite remark. The public sees, with
sullen apathy. houses go down in dis
tress that, had their failures occurred
two years ago, would have created
panir. The country is. however, far
beyond a panic. The worst is upon.

wonder when the thing is going to
stop To our mind the country needs
aid and assistance.
Heretofore. every particle of legis.

attacked ship-building with the high
tariff, and American commerce was
driven from the sea. It laid its hand
on the currency and shrunk it to such
Il volume that it is to-day wholly in
adequate to the want of trade. Now
let our sOlons inquire what the
country needs to give it renewed
confidence and to inspire it with res
olution. We have long since passed
the question of getting to the bottom.
1t is question now of getting up.

The diet proposed is farinaceous. and

big remarks that the disin.lination
for alcoholic stimulants, after par
taking of such food, is due to the
carbonaceous starch contained therein
which renders unnecessary and dis
tasteful the carbon of the liquors. If
this plan proves successful, it will be
the medium of effecting a more
thorough reform than years Of legisla-
tive enactment or spasms of social
work can possibly accomplish.

The cities are rapidly adopting the
Merrill school books as the best and
cheapest. Faribault has already
taken this step, and now it seems
Saltwater is following suit. The
Pioneer Press says:
At the annual school meeting
Saturday evening a resolution was
offered by Hon. d. NJ. Sahn that it be
bo ,rd f education adopted Mr.. Mer-
rills books for the public schools.
This gave rise to 4 good deal of talk
about cheap text books, and when the
motion WAS put, not u dissenting vote
was given in the negative. The
board of education wished to have
the views Of the citizens upon the
matter, and they certainly got them,
in sucn Il unanimous vote as to plainly
show that the parents want the books
furnished us cheaply as possible, and
are anxious to have Mr.. Merrill sue
ceed in his attempt to do that. The
old board of education took no action
in the matter. not wishing to en-
barass their successors in office; but
now that the same board was re-
elected. and the majority. if not all,
favor the present textbook law, a
change of books will undoubtedly be
made ut the fall term. Mr.. Merrill'S 8
books will be secured. if the board of
education carry out the wish of the
paOple-and Of course they willard
he will have the satisfaction of sup
plying an Independent district with
textbooks.

Here are few items showing how
the capital Of a country controls its
legislation. The New Haven (Conn. J
Union says:
Although the Post does not direct

make good our statement. We will
begin with Senator E1tOn of this
state. lie was director in the Char
ter Oak Insurance Company during
the pendency of the silver bill. His
plea against the bill was that it
would operate to the disadvantage Of
the insurance interests of Hartford.
He spoke for the capitalists instead Of
for tne people, as Was natural under
the circumstances. Senator Barnum
turns out Car wheels, and all the big
railroads. managed by spectators
having jobs in congress, give him
their patronage. 1t is notorious that
Senator Conkling Of New York is a
railroad attorney. and for big fees has
argued cases IN the United States Su-
PAN"aS SVAAS d seat Ill
the senate. Herman is in the same
boat. When the silver members of
the Senate Finance Committee were
irving to get a report on the Bland
bill, action had to be delayed because
Herman, a member. was in New York
state attending to the law business of
a big monopoly. Howe of WISCONSIN
urged a railroad Case in the Supreme
Court not many months ago, while
Chrissiancy, Thurman, Lamar and
Ben Hill have the reputation of earn.
ing handsome incomes by giving pri-
vate advice to bankers and railrua Is.
in law matters. 1t is well known
that Garfield, while member of con.
gress, took a IS 900 fee for arguing a
patent pavement case so successfully
as to In nLich the people out of large
sum which went to a clique Of jobbsrs.
We could 60 on in this way until we
had named many of the leading men
in both parties.

proportions.

IL was supposed Iur sometime that
Greenbacklsm, as its foes delighted
to call it. was confined to the east
but the signs multiply that the intel
ligent people OF the east are getting
their eyes open. A very interesting
letter from Newport, Vermont, to the
Springfield Republican concludes as
follows:
vermont still stands by Hayes
But slowly creeping from town
to town i'll the Greenback move
ment; though you see nothing OF
it in the press as yet. A larger pro.
portion not only Of village but of
farm property in the State is heavily
mortgaged, mostly at highly usurious
interest, cen and even twelve per
cent. being not unusual. In this
county the buildings and fences on
hundreds OF farms are going to ruin,
that the nominal owners may keep up
their interest payments. This
property of course all for sale cheap.
and the fact depresses the value of all
surrounding estates, even such as are
unincumbered. But hops, wool, and
all other products are low and slow
trade. 1t is plain to be seen that the
rich are growing richer and the poor
are growing poOrer,-and at the same
time they are growing angry. The
greenback papers, printed and circula-
ted in vast numbers at IL >minal rates,
are taken and read by this class Of
people, and the leven is working.
The mOneyed interest may as well
prepare for a whirlwind, and they will
find it not coming from the West and
South alone. Only by sudden and
great concessions can the danger be
arrested, in my judgment. The
National banks must go. Perhaps
that will save resumption. But if
Congress adjourns without providing
for relapsing the bank notes with a
free issue of greenbacks the pot will
boil over. This is no more com.
muistic movement than was the at
tack upon slavery. To see old Bill
Eaton rising from a drunken letlnrgy
to yell 'cOmmunis' at the silver bill,
which simply replaces silver money
where it always was until 1873. IS
Just too ridiculous for anything.
The movement, so far as the real
peO lc are concerned, and 50 far as
they Can be carried. no matter, what
some demagogical leaders may pur.
pose, is for financial reform that
will give us a sound, safe and elastic
currency, free from the control of
the money sharks who have strangled
the business of the country by their
speculative and usurious practices for
the last sixteen years. When these
things are Strengthened out the waves
will subside. The best way would be
to break it now by obviously neces.
sary concessions. We shall see
