The Des Moines State Leader comes to
the point when it says:
If the Democratic party would live and
flourish In the West, Western Democrats
must assert their position and their rights
IN the party. All this vast Agricultural
section has been paying subsidy to the
Eastern factory owners since 1862. The
tariff law was enacted largely as war
measure; it's excuse then was found in the
revenue needed to support our armies.
That time has passed, and the excuse
given has passed also. Now the Western
farmer, the stock-grower. the dairymen,
the miilers and the vast mercantile in
terests should enjoy equal privileges FOR
money making, and they are entitled to
exemption from the taxation which ia

PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE,
MEMPHIS. Tenn, November 30, 1884,
The closing day Of the month finds
the local money market exceedingly
quiet in all branches. Indeed, if a
little more stir could be infused,
financiers would like it better. The
dizziness ruling in the leading branches
Of trade at the present time, is a topic
Of general remark, and many claim it
to be as unhealthy as it is unusual.
Per contra, others are of opinion that
the apparent apathy amounts TO moth
ing, and is merely the result Of caution
on the part Of agriculturists, and
others who are the main stay or back
bone of our financial fabric. The
short yield of cotton, sugar and corn in
the South is we'll understood and fully
appreciated by the planters, mer-
chants and bankers of the vicinity,
and in due time will be
realized by our neighbors Of the
East and abroad. 1t is thought, how.
ever, by many that brisk activity is
certain to be experienced after the
ensuing midwinter holidays. The ex-
tensive railway interests; the necessary
preparation for the growing of another
large crop, and the confidential spirit
generally entertained, that the future
Of the country is full Of promise, are
all assigned as reasons for anticipated
energetic activity, during the spring
months. The rates Of discount rule
unchanged at 6 to 9per cent, with .
very moderate movement and capital
