NOTES FROM GRAINGER.

To the Editor OF the NIorristown Gazette:
Wheat looks well to the passer-by
but upon close investigation it will be
found to have either rust, fly, or lice
working on it, My wheat is heading,
but there is an insect that very much
resembles large louise, that is sucking
it to death. Others complain of fly,
and on the river rust is doing great dam
age.
Winter grazing oats look fine, and will
doubtless make an ABUNDANT yield.
Grass and clover would. look extreme
ly well, but owing to farmers being
scarce of corn, are forced to Craze too
early.
Corn is coming up and growing finely.
Owing to the mild winter and early
spring, stock is in good condition. Hogs
arc plentiful and cheap, cholera having
misrepresentation farmers have been
very successful in raising hogs. Every
farmer ought to realize the fact that we
cannot compete with the Northwest in
raising hogs as a means of making mo-
ney. Our lands are too poor and freights
too high. 1t costs less to ship produce
! from st. Louis to Atlanta than from
Morristown to Atlanta. We must re-
sort to grass, cattle, sh eep and mules.
Candidates are as thick as f1eas Poll
tics seem to have nearly gone by the
board. People are about to conclude
that there is but little money in them.
During Circuit Court, at your place,
heard republicans say they were bitter
against Judge Rose when elected, but
were now for him, and consider him a
Christian gentleman.
Sheriff Livington seems to be very
popular with Democrats, notwithstand-
he is republican. George is as clever,
honest and upright man as ever entered
a sheriff's office. Let MS elect honest,
upright men, regardless of politics.
Yours truly, CLoD HOPPER.

WILL RESUMPTION PRODUCE IN
FLA TTON?

The decline in the premium on geld
to one-quarter of one per cent. and the
approaching use of gold as currency
which this decline foreshadows, have
raised the question of the results likely
to follow such practical resumption of
specie payments. A certain class of
SPECTATORS are confident that when gold
coin, which has for SO many years been
nothing but merchandise, bought and
sold like iron or lead, shall have been
restored to its former place as money,
the consequence will be an initiation of
the circulating medium, which will lead
to a rise in the prices of labor, and of
all kinds of commodities. The sinceri-
ity of their convictions is attested by
the course of the stock market. Some
body has evidently been buying, in an
ticipatiSn of selling out again at an adj
vance, but whether or no this anticipa-
tion will be realized, yet remains to be
seen.
The New York Sun makes the above
statement, and then proceeds to contro-
vert it in a moderate way. We believe
the statement is correct. We have seen
all the predictions and calculations of
the "gold bugs" fail upon the passage

has fallen to less than one They pro-
phesied decline in Government bonds,

silver would operate as a healthy infla-
tion-increase the circulation without
affecting the value of our paper circula
tiOn. This has been realized to great
extent already. Gold has been boarded
for years. It has not been used as cur
rency, and could only be obtained as a
commodity in the market. Hence, so
far as the gold coin of the country was
concerned, it could not be reckoned as
q part of the circulation. This was
caused by its extra commercial value,
taking paper as the standard, and for
many years after the war, il was com
parativeIy so of silver. Ii is, therefore,
clear II gold, silver, and paper money all
attain an equal-par value-that all will
go into common circulation, and nearly
two hundred millions of dollars be adj
aed to the active circulation of the cOun-
try. This is healthy imitation, and will
increase business, and enhance the price
of labor, adding to the prosperity of she
country, and it viii be an imitation
based on coin of intrinsic value, and al
though it may stimulate speculation and
the consumption of luxuries. it cannot
produce disaster by fluctuations in value.

The terrible famine which for so many
months has devastated the Northern
Provinces of China still continues una
bated. Millions of people literally starv
ing, and thousands dying daily, is one
of those terrible calamities which the
most stolid nature cannot view with in
difference. Apart from all humane
considerations, this pending scourge
has another aspect of importance to our
own people in view of the threatened
exodus of great numbers of people
from that Over-populated portion of the
globe, very large proportion of when,
should it occur, will very naturally find
landing place upon our Pacific coast.
It is not at all surprising that our Cali
fornia brethren are more than ever exer-
cisedsupon the Vexed Chinese question,
which has already became a disturbing
element in their midst. The problem
Of Chinese immigration is one that Con-
gress is called upon to meet, and is of
so much importance that its solution
cannot be much longer delayed.

WHAT WE LIKEC0

we publish it for the benefit of cur 'poor

GAZETTE, but give the Democrat fellow
hail Columbia:
eve like to see a man refuse to take
his local paper and all the time sponge
on his neighbor for the reading of il.
We like to hear man complain when
we ask MIN to subscribe Tor his home
paper, that he takes more papers than he
reads now, and then go around and Dor
row his neighbours OF loaf about him uD-
til he has gathered all the news from it.
We like to see man run down his own
paper as not worth taking, and every
now and then beg the editor for faver
in the editorial line. We like to see a
mechanic or merchant refuse to adver-
tise in his home paper, and then try to
get a share of the trade which a news
paper brings to town. But above all
things we like to see one of our rich mis-
erly men, who cannot pay tive dollars
for his local paper, always manage to be
around in time to read the paper at the
expense of a friend, not worth a tenth
part of what he himself is. 1t looks so
