THOMAS M. NICHOLS LECTURE
On the National Debt and National Bankin,
SVstem


Mr.. Thomas NJ. Nichol, Secretary of the
Honest Money League, delivered his sec
ond lecture last night at College Hall, dis
cussing the constitutionality of fiat money
and Of greenb. cks, and the legality and wis
dom of the policy of substituting Govern
ment notes for National Bank currency, or
Of paying the National debt in greenbacks.
He said: During our revolutionary war,
| Continental currency was issued by Con-
gress, paper issues in different forms were
made by the different colonies, and before
| the close of the war they had become en-
tirey worthless. They were a full legal
tender; all eXtremities of the Government
were resorted to for the purpose of keeping
up the value of that paper compelling
people to take it at its nominal or face
value but utterly failed.
The advocates of fiat money say that the
bullionists base our money upon the gold
and silver in the country and that they
propose to establish currency to be based
upon all the property in, and upon all the
resources OF, the country. This is falla-
cious.
1t is claimed by the friends of fiat money
and the opponents of the banking system
that it is a monopoly. 1t is Just as free as
anything can be. Any five persons in any
part of the country can associate them
selves together and organize a National
Bank.
The stock Of National Banks is upon the
market like any other kind of property.
Any person desiring to invest in it can
do so.
The National Banks furnish the people
with a perfectly safe and uniform curren

THE GREAT LONDON CIRCUS.

Opening Yesterday on the Lincoln Park Lot.
The great London Circus, which is now
the undisputed monarch of shows in this
country, and the largest in either the old
world or the new, commenced a four-days'
season yesterday in the rear of Lincoln
Park, and drew thousands of people. The
grand electric light proved an irresistible
attraction, and last night it was well nigh
impossible TO secure an inch OF space under
the monster stretch of canvas after o'clock.
The light was tremendous attraction, and
its effect beneath the snowy canvas beauti-
full in the extreme. No words of ours could
do Justice to the real magnificence of this
far-famed illuminator.
1t is whole host Of shows In itself and
destined to draw thousands OF the intelli-
gent people in every large city. The circus
proper is certainly the best we ever had in
this city. Every individual act in the ring
is perfect and each individual performer is
a champion. Senorita Adelaide Codona,

able in their performances.
Awota Katsnoshin, the japanese juggler
is the most astonishing entertainer we ever
saw anywhere, and Miss Louise Bushell
| likewise. The show in the ring could moi
be improved upon. The greatest riding
the longest leaping, the finest tumbling
the most marvellous juggling. the best wire
walking, the most picturesque tumbling
etc, are to be seen. The ten ponderous
elephants are extraordinarily grand in theil
performances, aud they were most vigor
ously applauded last night.
No such perfectly drilled and intelligent
elephants, and such fine, mammoth look
ing creatures ever stepped into ring be
fore. They are simply immense. Every
feature is a host in itself, and the universe
verdict is that no such monster and grand
concern ever showed in Cincinnati.
The mensgerie is the largest, most inter
esting and complete ever seen under can
vas. The rarest and most beautiful ami
mails from all over the globe are there, af
fording most instructive study to young
and old. Saturday night ends the season
here. and every one should go before that

Sauelching q Juror,

A STAR man is boiling with indignation
at Dom Piatt. OF course Dom and General
Banning, whose wives are two of the Kirby
heirs, did not like the verdict in the will
case. One of the STARS most conscientious
ambassadors was forced into the position OF
juror. As he stepped from the box with
t e feeling that he had served bis country
in manner that would refute the asper-
sions that the modern juror is wont to re-
ceive, he was squelched by hearing Dom
Piatt remark 10 Banning: II suppose that
part of your majority which is still out of
the penitentiary happened to get on this
jury"
The STAR man went off wishing that the
first man to encounter I'D. p" on his re-
turn to Washington might be McGarrahan.

cy. 1t affords the people greater security
for their deposits than any other banking
system in the world.
General Cary tells US that the National
banks are run on one per cent. capital and
nine per cent. confidence, illustrating it by
the statement that he could take $40, ,00C
and start a National Bank with 100000
capital.
The result of the experiment would be
that General Cary. or any one else attempt
ing such swindle, would have his bank
wound up by the Comptroller of the Cur.
rency, and he would be handed over to the
United States District Attorney for pros.
ecution for perjury.
1t is just this class of arguments and
misrepresentation that has infamed pee.

Butter.

As regards batter, dairymen have much
to learn, especially those of the Vest
The quality of the butter that comes to
market is in large part wretchedly bad.
This is the consequence of faulty feeding,
of careless churning, but in far greater
part of improper packing. The produce
dealers are also to blame to some extent
for this. 1t is true that low-priced but
ter is needed for a portion Of the con-
sumers who are poor and can only afford
to buy cheap article; but it costs no
more money to make fair tub of butter
than a poor one, while its value is about
double that of the poor one. The secret
is almost entirely in cleanliness-clean
feeding, clean milking, clean keeping and
churning, and last but really the most
important of all, clean packing, We are
glad to believe that the meetings of the
dairymen will gradually lead to improve
ments in these respects, and we propose
to work for that end along with them.

Are Plants in Rooms Unhealthy ?

We have answered No a number of
times, but the question still comes, pro
badly from new subscribers. The atmos-
phere of a greenhouse crowded with
plants has been analysed, and found to
be not essentially different from ordinary
air. If it were unhealthful to breathe
the air in which plants were growing we
who live in the country should show it,
and those who during the summer camp
out in the woods would hardly find the
health they seek. There is no danger in
sleeping in a room with plants. A whole
roomful can not affect the air nearly as
much as an additional person or the
burning of night-lamp. The fact that
certain odors of flowers are unpleasant to
persons particularly sensitive to such
things is another matter. 1t is usually a
case of individual popularity, and easily
remedied by removing the offending plant

Harvest Results.

Now that the harvest is practically
over, even in the later districts, there
seems too much. reason to accept as &C
curate the general description given by
the able writer who contributes on agri-
cultural subjects to the columns Of the
Times. that it is probably the worst
wheat crop on record since the year
1916" According to statistics collected
in the year 1871 from as many as forty
to fifty growers in each county, and those
scattered through the different Poor Law
Unions, so as to embrace every district Of
each county under as many separate esti-
mates, the normal or average yield Of
wheat ranges, from Oh bushels per acre
in Devon to 33} in Kent; the average
for England being 800 bushels; for
Wales. q; for Scotland, %; and for Ire
land, 25 bushels. This general average
applies to a lengthy period preceding
1871, and held good for the FIVE years
1866 to 1870 but an excess Of inferior
har7ests in the series Of subsequent years
down to 1879 is estimated to have low
cred the mean yield by three bushels per
acre, the last five years having averaged
only "a bushels, or 81 below the standard.
If the produce Of this year had been an
average, the crop would have amounted
to II ,278, 400 imperial quarters, instead
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-12-31

All this means that at least eighteen
millions Of quarters Of foreign wheat will
have to be purchased for home consump-
ton; which, in its turn, means that a
larger quantity Of British manufactured
goods will be sent abroad in exchange for
this necessary commodity; all such i'm
ports being largely paid for in goods and
by the interest due on foreign loans. 1t
is impossible not to feel deeply for the
farmers, who are suffering under the
pressure of Iong-continued bad seasons,
eliminating in one that proves to be
worse than has been known during two
generations. All this tends, with other
causes, to bring the land question to the
front for settlement on an equitable basis.
