money, day of reckoning is sure to come

Will calling hard names help the matter
United States bonds, with the sanction
of Congress are issued. They must be
l1quidated by taxation or they must be re-
pudiated. In the hands of the holders
they must be regarded as capital The
privilege allowed to holders will enable the
government to substitute other bonds at a
lower rate of interest some have been
issued at four per cent. If there is no war
nor reputation for ten years, it is probable
that bonds at three per cent can be suhsti-
tuted for many now bearing higher rate.
Taking it for granted that they are capital,
what harm can accrue from permitting
business men from banking upon them as
upon other capital understand the law
to be that the National banks can onlvis issue
ninety dollars for every one hundred dollars
in bonds deposited at Washinton. These
issuces are all stamped at Washington and
the banks arc under the supervision of gov
ernment officers If the bank breaks the
bills are just as good, if not better, than
they were bofo;e. No one loses anything
except the neighbors who may lose their
deposits, If I understand the money mars
ket, in some cases, every ninety dollars i'll
National bank currency is represented and
secured by cash capital of one hundred
and five dollars In banking on n specie
basis one dollar in coin for three i'll circu-
lation is considered safe.
1 AM an old fogy, but it has always seem
ed to me that paper currency should have
some connection with the business and cap
ital of individuals. Capitalists, merchants
and brokers are as honest as politicians,
and must believe, in money matters, more
reliable. Instead of throwing more power
into the hands Of demagogues at Washing
ton, would let it remain at the business
centres SO far as the currency was cons
cerned.
Now, Mr. Editor, have had my guess,
and remain, Yours,

How IL Looks Abroad.

We doubt whether more interesting
editorial could easily be written than
the following, which is n part OF the
article ARMY in the Encyclopedia
Britannica
The military history of the United States
is as strange as the rise and rapid growth
of the nation. In 1870 the lank and file
of the army, as fixed by act of Congress,
was l, ,216 men; and in 1914 an English
expedition of only 3, 800 men was able to
seize and burn Washington, the capital of
country which even then numbered
5000, 600 of inhabitants. In 1861, at the
the commencement of the war of the seces>
sion the whole regular force amounted to
only IA, 600 men. In April of that year
the President called out $4,000 volunteers
for three months to defend the capital,
which was threatened; and i'll May further
call for ~, 600 was made. In July two
calls for 500, 900 men were authorized by
Congress, and, as even this vast force
proved insufficient for the gigantic strug-
gle which America had now embarked
in, it was found necessary to intro
duce the conscription. In October, 1861,
levy of 100000 men was ordered, and in
February, 1864, further call of 100000
was ordered. Finally, in the beginning Of
1865 two further levies, amounting in all to
SOC, 900 men were ordered, but were only
partially carried out, in consequence of the
cessation of hostilities The total number
of men called under arms by the Govern
ment of the United States, betV cen April
1861, and April 1865, amounted to 2, ,759,-
O+9, of when 1858, ,0S3 were actually em-
bodied in the armies. If to these be added
the 1, 100, 900 men embodied by the South |
ern States during the same time, the total
armed forces reach the enormous amount |
of nearly 1000, 900 drawn from popula~
ton of only $4,000, ,OOO-fgures before
which the celebrated uprising of the French
nation in 1893, or the recent efforts of |
France and Germany in lS70-71, sink into |
And within three years the |
whole of those vast forces were peace |
ably disbanded, and the army had shrunk |
to a normal strength of only 10000.
The last statement is not quite cor
rect. The present strength Of the army |
is only about 20, 600.

MOrKan's Baby.

Morgan, our butcher, was around to see
| purchase of some cattle, and after we had
| transacted the business, he commenced
telling ME about his baby that had arrived
| from heaven last week.
81 tell you, Vox,n said he, II had no
idea that there were SO many blamed fools
in the world, until that baby put in its ap~
pearance. The first lunatic that | remem-
Der observing after the birth was the doc
tor who officiated. He rushed out on the
| gallery where l was, and after giving me a
slap on the shoulder that would have hoor-
ed me if l hadn't been leaning against the
wall, almost shouted i'll my ear: It's boy,
Morgan, big, roaring, bouncing boy, and
a miniature edition of yourself-your eyes,
your nose, everything looks just
like you !! and dogged if that idiot of
pill-maker didn't, dance around there and
act as big as if he were the child's father
himself.
The next fool noticed on that occasion,
WAS that long -jawed, snaggletoothed, old
milliner, Mrs. Ginx, ''Ah, Mr. Morgan"
remarked she, twisting her blasted old
mouth around until it looked like bursted
football, ''it's perfect little beauty, sir
just like it's mother" Now one or the
other of those misguided old lunatics lied
lied like thunder; for how could the baby
be Just like me and my wife both, at one
and the same time ? Its impossible
Just then another old fool came out and
vowed that the infant was Just like an uncle
of hers, ana thon told me that, judging
from the appearance of the child, she felt
certain that he would yet live 10 rival Daniel
Webster IN oratury and craftsmanship.
Old lady number one objected to this, and
ventured the remark that il was her honest
opion that the baby was born revivalist,
and reminded her strongly otD. L. Moody,
the second 0. L. grew angry,
and grabbed the first 0. L. by what little
hair she had left, and it took the Doctor
and me ten minutes to separate them.
Then that old fool OF Doctor buttOnholed
me to one side, and informed me i'll a very
low whisper, that the infant was q natural
artist, and that l might as well buy his
paints and brushes right away. told that
Doctor that if he br6athed another syllable
about my baby, I'd set him up against the
fence and shoot so many holes i'll his ugly
old carcass, that they'd have to wrap
blanket around him to keep his food from
being wasted. At this, the Doctor grew
angry, and went home, and shot at him
rs he walked along. Then l ordered every
old woman off the place. When the house
was clear l felt better and hereafter when
I'm in want of remarks about that child, III
advertise it in the newspapers"
