Tax.Receiyable Money.

A number OF repudiating friends want
the Government to issue an irredeemable
paper currency, which, by the fat OF the
Government, shall be legal tender-must
be received for all taxes. $500
Do they know, and do the people know,
that Virginia has one million ta1o hundred
thousand dollars every year OF Just such
currency? The coupon on the Virginia
bond is exactly such money as these polltl-
cal philosophers are asking for; and with
the very next breath they are damnlng tne
law that created it, because they say il it is
to be received for taxes the Treasury may
be filled with it and the wheels OF govern
ment stopped. Well, if the United States
Government should issue few billions OF
money, the only security Of which is that
it is 'sireceiyable for all taxes" how long
would it be till the Treasury would be filled
with just such paper and how long would
it be till 1t would be as worthless as Con-
federate money p Virginia People.

The Power Of Legislation.

If money can be put into every mans
pocket by the simple process OF legislation
and the needy mechanics and laborers OF
the land be made prosperous and happy by
the same agency ION; the Kearney plan), why
may not the farmer, and the trucker too, be
included in this list OF benefciaries, and
thus do away with the plan OF the Creator
recurring both .sseed and harvest" leaving
the whole process OF farming and pro-
ducing to be carried on by the machinery
OF legislation, instead, as now, OF each one
having to sfearn his bread in The sweat OF
his face ?'
We do not underestimate the advantages
OF proper legislation; on the other hand,
we are its advocates. But whenever the
workingman believes that his prosperity is
solely dependent upon legislation, without
Of himself producing something which may
be converted into money, he is entirely mis-
taken, and will probably meet with the
same disappointment as the farmer who eX-
poets to reap good crops without sowing,
cultiyatiDg, or manuripg.
Confidence between man and man is more
needed at this time than legislation or a
shower OF greenbacks. With confidence
restored throughout the country but little
money, comparatively, Is necessary with
out confidence upon the part OF the masses
In those who issue faithfully to redeem, the
increased volume only decreases its value
until at last we carry our money into the
market in basket and bring home our
purchases in our pockets, as in the days OF
the Confederacy.
Providence helps those who help them.
selves, but he who expects to be made pros
porous and happy by the aid OF legislation
alone will awake from his idle dream to the
fact that any law which simply enacts that
the naked shalt be clothed and the hungry
fed will be little regarded by those who
gaintheir abundance by helping themselves,
and who do not believe it to be the duty OF
the producer to feed those who depend
upon the labor Of their neighbors Tor susie.

Of one thing the people OF Virginia can
feel assured-the leaders OF the forclble
resdiusters are far from being 10th to ac-
cept congressional honors; and this they
are willing, to do after having started the
reputation programme, without one mo-
ment's compunction as to whether its sue
cess will or not be insured. The pith OF
the whole concern amounts to this: They
tortured the public mind to such an ex-
tent that many people persuaded them
selves that these men could really bring
them financial relief. The result was that
quite q number OF these politicians found
their way into the State Legislature, and
after getting there, in communistic spirit
and with desire to overthrow all the cher
ished institutions Of the State and trail her
honor in the dust, few bold and desperate
men promulgated q system OF legislation
which, but for the happy interposition OF
Governor Holiday, would have entaied dis.
grace, shame, and ruin untold upon us and
those who follow us.
From Lilliputians, graphing with the
finances OF one single State, their job incom-
plete and far from being finished, they have
all at once developed into Bigendians, and
scent from aiar the luXuriant verdure OF
congressional pastures, and long to recllne

were wont to sit.
In Mr.. Pridemore's district Mr.. Fulker-
son Eliminates, perfectly willing to ride into
Congress on the debt hobby, and at the
same time equally patriotic enough to let
that question be settled in after generations,
provided he can blind the people into elect
ing him to that position. In Judge Harris's
district we hear that both Parson Massey
and Senator Paul are willing to let the State
debt take care OF itself. In General Hun
toms district MIR. B. johnson Barbour has
become their mouthpiece, much to the re-
greet of Mr.. Fauntleroy, who, for the sake
Of the reputation element, was willing to
be inundated. 4H
The attitude OF these gentlemen is in
keeping with the principles they enunciate.
They will acceptthe nomination from con-
svention; il it is refused them they will run
as Independent candidates. Claiming to be
Conservatives, they lose no opportunity to
divide the party. Claiming to be patriots,
every interest OF the people sinks in:o in
significance when antagonistic to their
selfish purposes.-ManassGs Gazette.

From the Rutland Herald. Thirteen
years. ago q Vermont regiment was disband-
ed in Burlington. Among the officers was
Captain Carpenter, OF Waterville. For bis
servant he had little colored boy, fourteen
years OF age, who did not know his letters.
This little lad went to Watervile to work
on farm, in the winter attending school,
and at the age OF fourteen learned his let
tiers. One year ago last, June this same lad
graduated from the University OF Vermont
with the highest honor, having led his class,
and having secured in the college society to
which he belonged, and which is proud OF
him, the reputation Of being among its best
debaters. Since his graduation Mr.. Hen:

The Products of Liberia.

From all can see I know OF no reason
why Liberia should not, with proper care,
become one OF the great producing
countries. There is no replanting necessary
except every twelve or fifteen years; the
plant bears the first year, and soon becomes
Strong enough to defy grass. Nature seems
to provide everything here. In rambling
around, my companion showed me the FEVER
plant. the leaves Of which. made into
tea, are almost a sovereign cure for
feyers; the soap-tree, the leaves OF which,
when bruised, lather like soap and
are almost as eficacious for clean
ing rough surfaces; the tooth-plant, white
leaf, which, as ascertained by experiment,
by little rubbing, cleanseS and pollshes
your teeth beautifully; the hemorrhage-
plant, the leaves Of which, when applied to
wound, stanch the flow Of blood; pepper
plants, licoricc-, ginger, and lemon-plants,
a leaf smelling and lasting like lemon, ana
an admirable medicinal agent; then the
mangrove ash makes the strongest sort OF
I've; and the uses of the palm and bread
fruit tree everybody knows. Cassaya is
long root, generally about two inches
thick, which is palotable when properly
cooked, and is very nutritious. Indigo
is abundant. Walking about Clay-Ash-

Liberians claim that there are diamonds
also, but precious stones seem very scarce.
