The security feature Of the national
notes figures largely in its assets Of su-
periority, when the fact is, their only
security ID the pledge of the Govern
ment to redeem them in its own notes.
The national-bank notes are redeemable
in coin. So, If IN the matter of redeem
ability the bank currency is superior to
the greenback, it is because the green
back 10 superior to coin.

The national bank system necessi-
tates perpetual interest-bearing public
debt.
The greenback system exists and may

The national-bank system places the

able and willing TO precipitate . panic

imitation when they desire to unload

In some people passion and emotion
are never checked, but allowed to burst
out in . blaze whenever they come.
Others suppress them by main force,
and preserve . callous exterior when
there are raging fires within. Others
are never excited over anything. Some
govern themselves on some subjects,
but not ON others. Very much can be
done by culture to give the will control
over the felings One Of the very best
means Of culture is the persistent with
drawing Of the mind from the subject
which produces the emotion, and con-
centrating it elsewhere. The man or
woman who persistently- permits the
mind to dwell on disagreeab,e tllsmes
only spites him or herself Children, Of
course, have less self eDntrol, and SO par
ents and teachers must help them to
turn their attention from that which ex-
c,tes them to sGaiSthing else; but
adults, whom they act like children,
ought to be ashamed Of themselves. The
value OF self control ~ hygienic agent
is very great 1t prevents the great
waste Of vitality in feeling, emotion
and passion. It helps to give one
mastery over pain aud Distress. rather
than it . mastery over us.

A Golden Opportunity.

Now when the internal dissensions Of
10Th old parties show them tottering to
heir fall, now is the time for the Ma
sional party to weld iteelf together and
ssert against ell these contending ele-
nents the fact that there il still in
America men who love liberty better
than money, who hold their country
icarer than they hold Offices. and to
whom the rights Of the most unconsid-
cred Of her children are as precious as
their own right to live. Let the nation
see that there is yet standing guard over
her liberties . party to whom politics
means the widest patriotism, and tho
most practical philanthropy to whom
the idea from which this republic sprung
into being Is more sacred than any out
ward representation Of its emoluments
or power.
There never was . time in American
politics when the reality Of devotion to
our country's honor could so Tighten the
blackness Of political turpitude, and the
degradation Of al her highest privileges
by the barter and sale OF political brok-
erage.
Is there ! man il the United States
to-day who, unbought and unsold, can
contemplate the debasement Of Ill that
is touched by these insolent braggarts
without feeling every drop Of his blood
thrilling with disgust and boiling with
indignation over the sight?
There Is nothing can save 10 America
her proud right to be called free moth
ing can make clean her garments dragged
in the miro Of partisan hate, or heal the
ulcers through which her life is wasting,
save the determined fight against all
these by the party whose slogan is liberty
and whose politics are justice. Nothing
can stay tho impending downfall of that
structure, built with groans and tears and
covered with blood d-stains, save the united
action, the concerted onslaught Of every
man who Is willing to strike in defense OF
life, ,..liberty and justice. Nationals. men
honest and earnest, yon who drink
health from the soil and breathe IN the
Just cause with the free air Of heaven
men who have toilet faithfully and re-
ceiyed sparingly; men who have delyed
with sore labor for the metal which has
been made King over You, you who have
sowed in hope to reap . harvest Of de-
spair, come you to the ground where are
camped the champions of right. the
friends Of the people. There j. dissen-
sion in the ranks Of our enemies. The
hand of opportunity beckons the ad-
vance Of intrepidity. Let it not beckon
in vain. National VieU.

True TO the Last.

Daisy Shoemaker, the pretty daughter
OF farmer living near Richmond, Va,
had agreed to elope with Westland Pierce,
but when the critical moment arrived
she feared to transgress her parents
wishes, and would not go to the rendez-
yous. Her sister Jane, two years her
senior, begged her to keep her trust with
her lover. but all in vain. We'll, II you
don't keep your word with West Pierce,
I'll do it for you," she said, and indig-
nantly leaving her sister, she got into
the buggy and dashed off. despite
the screams of her sister. Miss Jane
reached the waiting place; explanations
we're made; she said she was willing to
take her sisters place. The lover,
touched by her pluck and captivated by
her determination not to let the plan fall
through, did actually marry her-so the
story goes.

"The Best Currency. >

Every system Of banking Las had its
advocates, and every variety If bank is
sues have been claimed by its friends.
and it's subsidized newspapers. to be the
"best currency in the world"
In 1856 Samuel Hooper, Of Boston,
wrote pamphlet ON the rotten condi-
ton of the State Bank. in which he
said:
1.-THE object Of these pages is to pro-
test against the doctrines aud concln-
sions Of those who proclaim our methoi
Of banking and currency to be the 'best
in the world.
The State and wildcat banking sys-
TENS in their day made the same claim
10 perfection that our present national
system does. The old United States
Bank boasted Of its superiority over all
other systems, and it is in proof that
vast sums Of money were paid to the
public press to aid il in its defense
against Jackson and his party. To
what extent money is employed at the
present day to extol the virtues Of the
national bank system, and to magnify
the defects Of the greenback system is
not now publicly known. But one thing
is evident to every unbiased mind, that
il the greenback system was as vulner-
able as the national-bank system is, it
could not survive 4 single session Of
Congress, nor could the national-bank
system lie continued day. were It not
supported by the all-powerful influence
Of money and private interest. Az q
public measure. it has not one virtue to
commend itself to public favor. while
the greenback system is possessed of
sufficient merits, not only to sustain it
self, but to bear the odium and obloquy
heaped upon it by its enemies.
Tho greenback system is the only
hope and bulwark Of industry and popn-
lar liberty. II places wages and proper
ty values beyond the reach Of those who
would control both through the control
Of the currency volume.
The national. bank system was insti-
tuted to rob industry by clothing the na.
tons creditors with authority to depre-
ciate the purchasing power Of their fixed
incomes by depressing the wages of Ia
bor and the price Of commodities.
One or the ablest defenders Of thi.
system is John ]. Knox. who is at tn.
