was mistake. II is always q mistake in
republic TO dis,rust the masseS, for his.o-
~ has proven the masses always nearer
right than any select few. The politics of
the senate must be purified by compelling
these gentlemen to come back to the people
for resppointment. Then Csmeronism in
Pennsylvania, and Conklingism in New
York would receive just rebuke-a.

his money to one man, lends his credit to An
other, and gets interest on both. The bank has
credit, bscause it has lent money to tho Nation
and holds it's bonds. Backed by that security its
due-bllls are good, and 1t lends those to men
who need thom.
The old State banks used to get much larger
double interest" than tho National banks,
because tney loaned many more due-bils IN
proportion to their capital. They were not
Obliged to keep part OF their capital idle Tor
the protection of the public. On @1oO,0OO cap
ital they could ISSUE 500. 900, or often 100000
IN notes, and could lend both the capital ana
the notes. Is anything to be gained by going
back to a system which enabled banks To get
more double interest on the same capital !?
II the National banks are burdens, though al
lowed to lend only sS5, 500 IN notes on 100000
OF capital, the State banks were twice a. heavy
burdens, for they often loaned 5000 900 In notes
on tho same capital. 1t was as il Farmer White
had put ont due-bllIs for two or three times as
much as he was worth What other banking
system shall We prefer: The banks OF Great
Britain, and those OF Canada, can lend more
notes on gwen capital, and thus can
draw "double interest" on a larger sum,
than the National banks. Men who want bank
facilities and circulation for the benefit OF local
trade, really pay less for the service TO the Ma
tiopal banks, in proportion TO their capital,
than they would pay under the old State sys-
TENS, or under the systems Of Great Britain
and Canada, and get a currency immsasurably
better and safer. It is not wrong to any
body, but benefit to all, that men are thus en-
abled to lend their credit in aid Of industry and
trade, provided absolute safety il secured, 80
that not one Of the dus-bills shall ever prove
bad That has been done. No holder has ever
lost one cent by the failure of National bank
to pay its notes.
II the profit which the banks gain by the use
OF their credit is too large, the laws can be
amended. But it is not large enough to draw
other bankers into The system, nor 20 prevent
the surrender Of circulation by many banks.
II that profit were smaller, there would be
fewer banks, and less capital and credit used in
supplying circulation for the support Of indus
try and trade away from the centres Of com
merce In many parts OF the country, 1t is
do great harm.

ALL ABOUT HOME.

1.-THE COMPLETE HOME" Mrs. Juha MoNair
wrght's new book, just Published by }. q.
McCurdy 4 Co., OF Philadelphia, has received
the warmest commentators from the Press
aud Clergy in eli sections Of the country.
The following extracts clearly indicate that
it is a work OF sterling merit
The Christian Advocate says:-A book OF
more practical utility Will seldom, II ever, DO
found outside OF inspiration.
The Presbyterian says:-The prevailing fes-
ture of the book is its good sense, and when
we say this OF such book ne pay 1t The highest
compliment we can imagine. 1t is true every
where to the Evangelical faith.
The journal and Messenger, Cincinnati, o.,
says We believe that it would be Of unspeak-
il be read not only by fathers and mothers, but
by sons and daughters as they are growing up.
It's healthy tone it's common sense and truth
fulness commend 1t, and can but render it OF
the highest value.
The N. Y. School journal says: In this work
we have all the lights and shadows that go to
meke up the picture of real home. 1t i'm
parts instruction in the whole range of domes-
tic government ia the most pleasing and effec-
tive manner.
The Mo. Republican says This is essential
ly a home book. 1t must have been dictated
by heart that has been baptized in tho beauty
of the holiness of home. The senti-
ment Of the book is lofty while the style is
natural, cheerful, easy and fluent, and the
pages are 30 many bright pictures Of domestic
quiet and comfort.
Rev. Dr. March says:-It is 30 well written
that it cannot fail to be read, and it cannot be
read without bringing sweetness and light into
somebody's home.
From the above, it will be seen that this is .
sensible, beautiful, and extremely valuable
book. Its sphere is wide as the world itself
and 1t will exert powerful influence for good
in every homo into which it enters.
