THE WORLD FOR 1881

Democrats everywhere should inbf
themselves carefully alike of the aches
their party throughout the country Z
of the movements of their RepubN
opponents. A failure to do this in 1"
contributed greatly to the loss by /
Democracy OF the fruits of the rl1iF
tsirlv won at the polls.
The year 1880 promises TO be one
the most interesting and important ya
of this crowded and eventtul century,

ment of this country on the principle:
its constitutional founders, or in pen

man can regard such an election with
difference. The World, as the only 6

THAT MARKED SHOT.

The Greenbackers have been very
clamorous against National Banks
and treasury hoardings, but just as
soon as Z shot was fired at them by
the Banking and Currency Committee
Of the House, their representatives in
congress became bewildered. When
the smoke cleared away, they were
found voting with monopolists and
gold bugs. This is not the first time
that troops have been stampeded by
friendly fire. and therefore, it is not
expected that anything more serious
than delay will result from their fright.
The shot al be repeated until the
banks shall 60 down, and excessive
treasury reserves disappear before
better understood assaults.
Rhs stampede Of the Greenbackers
is enc Of the natural results Of their
habit Of c%onfounding debt with capt.
tai. 1t Is a proverb that nobody lives
on the interest of what ewes. This
applies to banks rs we'll as men, but
with greater force. Buyers give notes
for purchasers payable at a fixed
period, Blu the banks exchange their
paper for individual notes without
knowing when it must be met. 1t
may come in ON them the next day ;
on { this account blackbscks are not
money. Being debts, their available
ity as currency depends upon their
being we'll secured and we'll paid.
To make them as good as coin, they
ought be redeemed In coin. Hereto
fore, it has always been considered
to be part of the obligation assumed
by q bank of issue, that it should pro.
vide coin for its notes. The same
rule is applicable to other bank liabil.
ties. Except where contracts to the
contrary are entered into, deposito1s
ought also to be paid in coin. The
Republican party made . grand mis-
take when it provided for liquidation
of bank dues in greenbacks. By that
act, it either perpetuatsd an lrredsem.
able currency, or threw the burden
and expense Of providing . coin basis
for it on government. This was 8
great bonus to the banks, which hith.
erto has been neither properly appre'
ciated or denounced. Public atten.
ton has been divided to the consider
alton Of the legal tender question
which is not the proposition descend
ing from, the conflicts Of jackson and
Benton with the q. 8. Bank. What

Jan. 21.-Gen. Ewing (Dem. o.
offered the following:
Resolved, That the consideration

referred to this committee affecting
the volnme and character of currency,
be postponed until the first meeting
of the committee IA December next.
Defeated.
Messrs. Buckner, Ewing and Price

Jan. 21.-The bank reserve bill
being under consideration, Mr. .Louns-
berry concluded and was followed
by Mr.. Townsend, of Illinois. Quite

Mr.. Chittenden, and as the morning
hour expired before he concluded, he
obtained permission to publish the

ner then obtained the floor, and de-
handed the previous question, but
before It could be put the morning
hour expired. Mr.. Lewis, Of Ala
bama, then arose to a question OF

send had charged that there was a
conspiracy between the President, the
Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Banking and Currency Committee to
enlarge the National Rank system,
and that so far as he was concerned
the statement was false. Mr.. Town

Jan. 22.-Ths debate on the banl
reserve bill was opened by Mr.. Gil.
lette, who characterized it Is a shet
from a masked battery at every inter
est ss the people. Mr.. Weaver op.
posed the bill or the ground that il
Disseminated greenbacks. 1t was 6,
clipped dollar when the bond-holdel
was to DO paid, but when the bond
holder pays the people it was good
enough. His soldiers bill was regard
ed as an especial assault on the bond
holders rights, and a senator from
Hlinnis had said it was the wors,
piece Of demagoguery ever introduced
into the American congress. The de-
bate was further continued by Messrs
Whittebourn and Keller, both of whom
opposed the bill the former because
it Disseminated against greenbacks
and the latter on the ground that i
would imperil the C. of resump
ton. The final vote stood 70 yea
to 1873 nays on engrossing the bill
This overwhelming defeat of the meas
ure, however, appears to signify moth
ing beyond unwillingness to ventur
on financial legislation in the House
As q general rule, both the friends O
the banks and the Greenbaekers votet
against the bill.

WATERING HOUSE PLANTs.-The
Garden disputes the rule that water
should be given in moderately small
quantities, and supplied frequently.
II the causes of failure where plants
are cultivated in windows are
miGutely Investigated the dribbling
system of watering would be found to
be the principal one. A plant ought
not to be watered until it is in fit
condition to receive liberal supply
OF that element. having previously
secured q good d. ainsge in order that
all supeIabundsnt water may be
quickly carried of. Those who are
constantly dribbling a moderately
small quantity Of water upon their
plsnts will not bave them in a -four
ishing condition any length of time.
This must be obvious to all, for it is
quite evident that the moderate small
quantity OF water frequently given
would keep the surface OF the soil
moist. while at the came time, from
the effects of good drainage, which is
essential to the gsll-being OF all
plants in an artificial state, all the
lower roots would perish for want Of
water, and the plant become sickly
and die.
