Money Power vs.. GreenbackS In the
Hall Il Legislation.

Editor REDWOOD GAzErTE. July 18th 1872
At the commencement of the war
of the rebellion in 1851, and when
the resources of the country were
apparently exhausted, the last dollar
had been counted out, it was found
that the volume of the national cur
rency was insufficient to meet current
expenses, and when our imperial cou-
sins across the big waters instead of
fastening to our aid, as we had
hoped, and had a right to expect, re-
ckoning from an enlightened chris
ton standpoint, were set in cat-like
posture, ready to spring upon the
coveted fragments of a shattered re-
public, E. G. Spaulding and Eras-
tus Corning of New York, and
Samuel Hooper Of Massachusetts,
were appointed sub committee, I'M
der the house committee of ways and
means, to devise some plan of pros
ecuting the war, protecting and per-
petutating the Union, aud paying
current expenses. The country was
rich in patriotism and all the essen
tial requisites in the successful
prosecution of the war. All that was
lacking was money! Legal medium
of exchange, to equip armies and
move them to the front. Under the
emergency of war, and its pressing
necessities, the best and ablest
thought and talent of the nation were
invoked, and that thought and that
talent, conceived the transcendent
idea, Of applying the nations wealth
to the nations needs. The history of
bank currency had incidentally dem
onstrated the important fact that a
medium of exchange could consist Of
nations Indebtedness, as well as that
of individuals, and corporations.
And moreover, that as the constitu-
ton authorized Congress to coin
money, and to regulate the value
thereof, without specifying the ma
terial that should be selected, Oh
which should be placed the money
stamp, or paper full Legal-Tender,
pledged by the Government to be re-
ceivable for all debts and dues, pub
lie and private and in sufficient volume
to redress the countries needs in this
her hour of trial. This was, and is
the province of all nations Legitimate
Legislative powers. This grand and
glorious idea was at last embodied
in bill known as house bill No 1877,
and reported to Congress OH the 7th
day of January 1862. Its constitu-
tionality had been approved by the
Attorney General, and it met with
much popular favor, as it was seen
that it would surely meet the nations
wants, but before it had hardly
passed the threshold of Legislation,
it was set upon by that highwayman,
the Money Power. This Bill was
not conceived and put in Legislative
course for the benefit of it, the money
Power. 1t was not in the interest of
the banking business. 1t was seen
that the Government and the indus

tries of the people, including that of
the war, would be amply provided
for, without the assistance and con-
nivance of banks, and the Money
Power, therefore they jointly opposed
it, at every possible step; while they
would furnish nothing to the govern
ment in exchange FORT. On the 18th
of January, four days after the intro
duction of the bill, a hungry howl
was heard, foreboding i'll to the bill,
echoing from bank to bank, all along
the commercial Sea-board, and up to
Washington, then calling a conven-
ton of the money power, said con-
vention was composed of Secretary
Chase as head, and four delegates
from the New York banks, three
from Philadelphia, and three from
Boston. This money power, saw in

which would forever cut off all future
chances for them to harvest from the
industries of the people through their
usurioas instrumentalities of the con-
troll of money. They saw that it
would transfer their monopoly of the
money power, from their hands, to
those of the people. They clearly
saw in it precedent which, it per-
mitted to be tested, would ever after
wards, enable the government to re-
leive itself and the people without
being obliged to submit to the cx-
tortions of the usurer. In short, they
like Belshazzar, saw the handwriting
on the walls Of their banks unmis-
takably auguring their downfall, and
the consequent complete emancipa
ton of all possible industries from the
money power, written OH both fronts
of the full Legal Tender Greenback

valuable lesson and precedent to all
our farmers"
Had Mr.. Neil although a practical
shepherd from the Highlands Of
Scotland, confined himself exclusive
ly to the sheep industry, it might
not now be 80 we'll with him: but in
addition to his $500 good Sheep"
has not neglected other branches of
profitable farm industry. And thus
should it be ever. While we advo-
cate and insist that large profits will
result from the proper gro wing of
sheep and wool, other branches
should not be lost sight of and alb
jured. Diversified farming will pay,
and don't you forget it.
Continuing the subject of sheep
raising and the incidental dog de-
structiveness, which in most local.
ties is almost inseparable from it,
we quote from The Lebanon Herald
its ideas on the subject of raising
sheep. The Herald remarks: "The
destruction Of sheep by dogs in this
country has caused many to think
quite seriously of selling out and
quitting the raising Of sheep. Don't
do it. True, the loss is serious and
discvuraging, but remember the in
come from your sheep, from sales of
wool and lambs. a little extra care
and a lot close to your house to herd
in at night will save your sheep. Tie
bell on every fifth or sixth sheep;
they are. cheap, and dogs don't like
noise when in the sheep-killing
business. Don't give up too quickly.
1t pays well to keep sheep. Rub up
the old gun and use it. The next
time We elect Legislature, instruct
them to give us good dog law, and
we will see that it is executed."-

REFUNDING CERTIFICATES.
SHINY sHERMAN's EXPLANATION.

SHINY SHERMAN EXPLANATION.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-SecretarY Sherman
says he is good deal embarrassed by the offer
of the associated bankers to take the whole of
the refunding certificates. He did not believe
they had any right to demand these certificates
under the circular of April 16, but they claimed
that they had. To refuse their offer of a per
cent. premium when the certificates were Of
fered in open market at par and accrued inter-
est seemed rather hard, but they were compen-
stated for this by having three months in which
to close the transaction. 1t was manifestly the
policy of the law to give to persons of limited
means an opportunity to subscribe tor these
small certihcates-a policy in which Secretary
Sherman heartily concurs, and banks and
bankers as we'll. The circular issued yes
terday gives notice of sixty days, which ends
June 18th, to all persons who desire refunding
certificates to apply for them in sums not ex-
ceeding $500 to any one person at one time,
and efforts will be made to place the certif-
Gates in the hands of postmasters and every Of
fcer of the United States who under the law
can be trusted with public money. It is hoped
that within the sixty days the whole amount
of the refunding certificates on hand, thirty
five million, will be sold. If not the offer
made by the associated bankers will then be
accepted for what remain, as the refunding Of
the 10-40s in mandatory, and it will by that
time be absolutely necessary to provide means
in some way to meet the call. A call for the
remainder of the 10-4Os will be issued in a few
days.
Subscriptions to the four per cent. refunding
certificates since Yesterdays report $1O6, 1920.

THE STREET CIR STABLES.


New Plans Being Prepared Owing to the
Change of Programme.
The decision of Mr.. Walsh, the manager
of the street car company, to suspend work
on the stables at the corner Of Fifth and st.
Peter streets, gives very general satisfaction,
The work already done was not large, and
the expense attendant upon the property
owners in reimbursing the street car COM
pany will not be onerous. While it is the
p resent intention to erect the stable at the
corner of Fourth and st. Peter streets there
is just chance that even that may be
changed.
CHANGING too meet Mr.. Walsh yesterday,
a GLOBE reporter took occasion to enquire
how soon work would be commenced on the
new site last indicated.
That gentleman replied that in abandoning
work on tho old site new plans had to be
drawn in order to meet the modifcations of
the ground, the new site being considerably
smaller than the one on the corner of Fifth
street. He also stated that the ground
would probably be broken as soon as the
new plans were completed, which will EN-
body the same features, in a modified sense,
as those contained in the pre-.
vious drawing, a description of which
has already appeared IN the GLOBE.
In conclusion, Mr.. Walsh said that he had
received an offer for portion of the ground
upon which the buildings will probably be
constructed, the object of certain parties be-
ing to buy up the ground, and thus preclude
the possibility of the stables going up in the
central part of the city, but that the pros
poets favored an early commencement of
the work on the new site.

A Splendid Business Block at Auction.
Mr.. Kavanagh, the auctioneer, adverti.es q
very important sale of business property on
Third street, to take place May 9Th at IL A. n.
The property in question is the three story, cut
stone front building LOS and ITO East Third

thirteen years has been $2,36O per

for nearly one-half of that period, is an excel
lent showing. The taxes average 5000 per

thousand. The stores will readily rent for
$4,000. This is an excellent investment for
capital, as it is sure to pay handsome and in

PARK PLACE PROPERTY.
Valuable Residence Property In the Market
for Lease-A Handsome Park Bounded

Valuable Residence Property In the Market
for Lease-A Handsome Park Bounded
by Twenty-Seven Residence Plats.
Thanks to the inherent and practical good
taste of Col. D. A. Robertson, the destruc-
ton of the Park Place hotel, though tenn
porary loss to the city, is to result in furnish
ing st. Paul with one of it's most slightly
attractions. As known to most residents of
st. Paul, the land upon which that structure
was located is the property of the "Church
Foundation of the Episcopal diocese of
Minnesota, the funds from which
are to be devoted to the support
of the bishop. The property is bounded by
st. Peter street and Summit and College av-
enues. The property having been placed
in the hands of Col. Robertson to lease on
long time, that gentleman conceived the
scheme of adding to its attraction as bnild-
ing spot, and at the same time give to the
city charming little
LANDSCAPE PICTURE.
To this end a tract of the land about half
the size of Rice park has been set apart in
the center for park. The park is oblong,
conforming in shape to regulation trotting
track, with broad drive way extending en-
SAAoAJ @AOuuu' 6hOuuu tue PARK duu 1IOuG-
ing on the streets and avenues mentioned,
twenty building lots have been plated,
running from the park to the street. The
roadway around the park is to be lined with
trees, and the park itself will be literally
sprinkled with trees, and shrubbery, with
walks leading about it, with chairs cone
veniently located. Under the terms of thd
leases barns and other out houses cannot be
erected on the lots, but to afor-
afford accommodation for occupants desiring
to keep horses and carriages, club stable
has been provided for just outside, ap-
preached from the park roadway. Nine lots
have already been leased, and Mr.. E. 81. San
ders and other gentlemen have already taken
| steps for the erection of their houses. The
park, while especially for the residents of
the property, in all essentials
BELONGS TO TIE PUBLIC,
and the location being one of the most COM
manding in the city, it will add greatly to
the general attractions of the city as place
of residence. The leases run for 100 years, q
low valuation being placed upon them now at
per cent. interest, changes of valuation
only occurring once in every twenty-five
years. The idea reflects great credit upon
Col. Robertson, and can be wisely followed
in other sections of the city, and now un-
productive property made attractive and
| valuable.
