1T Is TERRIBLE.

Ono phase in the condition of the
pIague-smitten Southern cities is
scarcely realized at the North, even
with the daily descriptions given in
the papers of the distress prevailing
there. All industries have ceased.
The stores are closed, the factories
are not running, wharvCS and depots
are deserted, for boats and trains
neither arrive or depart, 20 that
means for earning their daily bread
is taken away from those who are
not stricken with the fever. They
have all the hours of the long, long
days to listen to the rumbling Of
the dead cart as it passai to and fro
with its lileless burdens, and the
brooding over the terrors that
fill each moment with gather
ing despair, only makes them
wore liable to be seized with the
fever. Work is the panacea for
many evils, and at such times as
these, if the head and hands are
occupied the danger is diminished
tenfold. And beside the agony of
brooding over the pestilence, hun
dreds and thousands Of these peo-
pie have nothing toliye upon. Their
money is gone, and they can earn
no more. Even if they could the
store of provisions is exhausted.
Markets are closed ; market wa
gons have ceased to come in from
the country. Everything brought
to these cities now is sent from the
North for charity's sweet sake, and
the cry is for more. With all the
efforts Of the sympathizing people
enough has not been supplied to
prevent suffering from hunger.
Much has been done, and much re
mains to be done.

was only "shamming," because she
didn't want to work, No one could
sham in such a way, 1t is evident,

marks of the injury are still to be

Since 1863 the number OF il

Cluce 1000 Tie humber Oh lullfli-
grants arriving in the United States
has steadily increased until 1872. For
the year ended December, 81, 1868,
the number that arrived was Ia, 1923.
For the year 1870, the number was
356,303. Taking the figures OF that
year as the average number that
should have arrived yearly, we have
sustained loss in immigration of
537,716. Writers on political econos
my estimate that the economic value
OF each immigrant is $500, which
would make the pecuniary loss sus-
tanned by the United States by the
decrease in immigration for the six
years named, $440,172, 500, exclusive
OF the loss sustained in material pro-
duction and development, which
would be more than double the
figures given above. BY this falling
off in immigration the country has
lost at least one thousand million
dollars during the past six years.

Ii there is anything of which the
! greenbackers are certain, it is that
there has been an immense contrac-
ton OF the volume of money, and
that this contraction has caused the
fall OF prices and the hard times. The
immense destruction of property dur
ing and since the war, the COMPARE
lively bad crops of several seasons.
the fas: living and extTavagant habits
caused by the imitation, the bursting
Of the bubbles Of credit in and fol-
lowing the panic, are as nothing. The
government has willfully and wicked
ly destroyed the peoples money!" it
has robbed industry for the advan-
tage of the bondholders, it has spread
bankruptcy and ruin by its contrac-
ton policy. Such is the cry of the
maniacs and the demagogues. Let
us see:
On the 31st day Of August, 1868,
the national debt reached its highest
statement: s2,S45, 907 ,626. OF that
amount the total of legal tender,
counting demand notes, compound
interest notes, five per cent. bonds,
etc., as stated by the comptroller of
the currency, on page twenty eight
OF his last annual report, was $685.
13S,959; the total volume of bank
notes at the same date he gives as
S176,213, 955; Senator Jones estimates
the specie for that year at $50, 000, 900;
making grand total of all that could
in anywise be called money" of
S945, 1884, 14. Bonds ought not to be
counted, but the greenbackers claim
that all legal tenders should be. so
we include them. On the 31st of De-
cember last the total volume of gov
eminent notes. as given by the same
officer, was $369, 447 ,O1O, and of ma
tional bank notes, $320,631, 719; in his
last annual report, page fourteen, the
director Of the mint gives the volume
of gold and silver at $500, ,751;
making a total of 1851, 0S0,4 s0. In
stead OF a contraction, therefore,
there is an increase of the volume of
money OF s5,677. sec. Analysing the
figures of these reports We find the
following changes: Reduction of
greenbacks and fractional currency,
800, 122 900; Of interest paper, 1921
569,946. Increase of specie, s175, $780,
751; OF bank notes, S144, All. 764.
From the figures the reader will
readily see that it is not deficiency
of money that ails us, but of some
thing TO get money with; that specie
has come to us when wanted, and
nearly doubled the reduction of non-
interest bearing legal tenders; that |
the only real contraction has been of |
the national debt, which is now some |
eight hundred millions less than it !
was. The philosophy OF ~the times"
is simply this: 1t is easy times with
US when we are going in debt, and |
thus living on other peoples proper.
