rupt means we would not for one
moment imply; but the great wealth
of the country understands the
necessity of counting government
officials; Of appealing in the strongest
manner to their prejudlces. and or
exciting their fears over any PROPOSE
ton that looks towards an escape from
the ownership of Wall street.
Men vino make money are supposed
to be good financiers. and such men
crowd about the administration, and
with the prestige Of successful money
getters, excite approximations. and
predict disaster for any financial
course which their Judgment does not
approve. AS their judgment is largely
sWayed by personal interests, the
result is small encouragement to thOse
outside of the golden circle, to whom
their policy means bankruptcy and
ruin.
The Inter Ocean is no coaker, and
it has no desire to see any financial
scheme adopted by the government
which is not in the strictest sense
honorable and practicable. We
would much dislike to see this queS-
ton become sectional one, but we
say frankly to the Eastern people, and
to the President and his advisers, hat
the West willnot consent much longer
to Il policy which means its lmpOver-
ishment.
4 contest of this character Yill not
be sought by the West, but, if the
| fight is forced upon it. it will accept
the necessity. and right its wrongs by
the preponderating force of numbers.
For two years the cry has gone up
that we were on the eve of prosperous
times. We were to have them when
this law or that III the interest of
money-bags was passed. We were to
have them when the Presidential
election was over. We were to have
them when the Presidential election
was settled. We were to have them
when the South was conciliated. But
still the wrecking process goes on,
with no prospect of Il rmination.
The failure Of the German National
Bank of this city is a fair illustration
of the folly of that financial course
which destroys confidence and shrinks
values until suspension becomes
necessary. \ million dollars has
been drawn out of that bank. not
because there was need for the cur.
rency. but simply because the general
shrinkage OF property and assets
excited the fears of depositors that
their money would he no longer safe.
| The panic of 1878 has settled down
into permanent suspicion and distrust
and all this is bred and encouraged by
the course of tae government.
The multitudes of people without
work. the throng of weary, hungry
hopeless men and woman who have
looked forward to better times unit
despair has overtaken them. make ;
mute but pitiful protest against this
grinding policy, an appeal that ough
to touch and soften hearts of stone
Still the grinding work goes on

the first to aid in lifting these cloud
of distress that have SO long obscure'

We are now paying interest on
about forty million dollars of nep
natioanl bonds, issued to buy silver
bullion. to make into coin, to take
the place of the fractional currency

Here is an interview held in New

II is beginning to be generally under
stood that the eastern newspapers,
especially those Of New York. are
the abject instruments Of the Money
Power. Representative Phillips of
Kansas, said the other day in Congress:
But yesterday New York paper
called II member of this body an idiot
because he made really eloquent
speech in defence of the people against
the aggressions of capital. SO those
papers of Eastern commercial centers
abuse the champions of the people.
Four men in New York, who have
made or control great fortunes, much
of which has been gained by oblique
transactions and watering stocks,
have got possession Of papers that
grew into power because they were
the organs of the weak and oppressed
and are fast loosing their honor and
renown by becoming the tools of
avaricious capital. How the ghost of
Horace Greeley would agonize if he
visited the establishment he founded
for he conld not find anything of the
ancient Tribune from the basement to
the tall tower. Once it uttered 4
giant s voice from Maine to California
for it was the champion of the
laboring-man. Nainly shall it strive
to cover with its dead lions skin the
betrayal OF the people. Those mem
bers who are misrepresented and
abused have one consolation: in doing
the work of their masters these paper:
have ceased to be METROPOLITAN.

est-bearing securities. easily hidden
from the assessor. it seems reasonable
that they should pay taxes on their
incomes. Otherwise they escape
their proper share of the burdens of
government. Any other policy tends
to induce men to avoid the ownership
OF real property, and this is an injury
to the whole nation.
Moreover a may own farm worth

gage upon it to B Of IS 900; and the

all the taxes on that farm; and in nine
cases out of ten, B escapes all tax on
the mortgage which really represents
all the value there is in the farm. IT
A has turn of lnck (as by inheriting
fortune, or otherwise.) which ena-
bles him to get out of debt to B, he is
| very apt. if a shrewd man. to sell out
his farm and lend out all his money at
high interest. and then live on the Ia.
Dor OF his fellow men. The result is
that no one desires to buy farms and
every one desires to sell them;and the
debtor class, with all the burdens of
government to bear, degenerates into
kind of serfs, toiling night and day
to support class who produce nothing
and do nothing, well fed drones in the

Again; while the census shows that
the average earnings OF labor in the
United States do not exceed three
percent per annum in currency on the
principal invested, the people are pay
ing from five to six per cent per an
mum in gold on vast amount of ma
tiOnal bonds; and the men who re-
ceive that interest are not required to
pay one cent of taxes. Thus the gov
eminent becomes a vast machine to
compel millions Of men to toll from
years end to years end to support a
few men in idleness. The true end of
human government. the greatest good
for the greatest number, is subverted
and the laws are perverted to produce
the greatest good to the smallest mum

WARM DEMONSTRATING erroneous
notions prevail respecting the use and
properties of the warm bath. To ma
ny persons the idea of'submerslon in
warm water, on summer day would
be preposterous; but if it be ration
ally considered, it will be found that
the warm bath may be taken with
equal or perhaps greater benefit in
summer than in winter. During hot
weather the secretions Of the skin are
much increased in quantity, and con-
sequently greater necessity exists
that it should be perfectly free from
Instructions. Another prevailing err
ror respecting the warm bath IS that
it tends to relax and enervate the
body for experience has sufficiently
proved the tallacy of the opinion, and
many physicians have prescribed
their use to patients Iaborlng under
debility from disease, none of whom
have experienced such effects but
have all felt invigorated and mostly
restored to health and strength. Ma
ny persons are deferred from using
the warm bath, especially in winter,
from the fear of catching a cold ; but
this fear is groundless, for it has been
found that the warm bath by increas-
ing the circulation on the surface Of
the body, renders it more capable Of
withstanding the effects of cold than
it otherwise would have been.

AGRICULTURAL.
DRINK FOR CO US.

Cows snonld never be allowed to
drink staguant water. 1t is lmpossl-
bic for COW to drink impare water
and produce pure and healthy milk
from it. Prof. Low Of Cornell Uni
versity founl by microscopic exami-
nation Of the milk of COWS that drink
stagnant water, that the milk con-
tanned living organisms, similar to
those found in the water they drank.
Prof. Arnold says, "that a cows
drinking stagnant water had been
known to cause her milk to coagulate
in four hours, at a temperature OF sew
enty degrees and when raised to nine.
ty degrees it would coagulate at once.
There are instances where typhoid fe-
yer has been communicated by milk
given by COWS which had drunk foul
water containing the typhoid poison.
These facts should be sufficient to
cause farmers to be exceedingly care
full to furnish their COWS with pure
water for drinking purposes.
