thlthrn H. Nr'Ht'
The American Bankers Association
at its last convention, report an apgre-
gate indebtedness TO the banks Of the
country, by borrowers, engaged in the
various branches Of business and enter
prise, of over 81, 900, COO, 900.
This constitutes, practically, u public
debt nearly twice the magnitude Of the
government debt, and one that takes
IRON the productive energies Of the
country nearly twice the rate of inter-
est which the government pays on its
bonds. II is for the interest of the
money loaning monopoly to force the
country TO do 4 credit business, that it
may reap the larger usury harvest.
On this enormous loan, or discount
Indebtedness, somebody pays an aver
age of per cent, or an aggregate of
Slj6, 100000 annually. But it is not
the borrowers who pay it, more than it
is the government that bears the bur-
den of the nationaldebt. Every manu-
facturer, trader and corporation which
borrows money, charges its cost and
expenses in their price, or rate-list,
and their patrons have to foot the bill.
In this way, the consumers and small
producers of the country are taxed
ever one hundred and fifty millions q
year, to support and protect credit
sy stem, for which there is no necessity.
This is another of the streams which
flow from the fields of labor into the
reservoirs of capital, bearing upon their
bosoms the rich but unpaid for fruits
of industry. The exchange medium of
the country and the world has been
diverted from its legitimate uses, and
is being monopolized by a class of men
who employ it more for the exchange
of credits than for the exchange of
commodities. 1t being public neces-
sity, their monopoly of 1t enables them
to substitute credit for currency, which
they sell at a premium and, buy at a
discount. This is one of the many bur-
dens borne by the people without their
knowledge. The masses know they
are poor, and remain so, in spite OF the
most industrious habits and the strict
est economy. They have long felt the
pressure, but have failed to detect the
thumb at the screw, and the majority
of them to-day regard the credit sys-
tenn a blessing rather than a curse to
the country. Debt and usury are the
Alpha and Omega of the devils alpha
bet, whose letters alone are used in the
literature of popular political Econ
omy."

While on the subject oI
Waltham watches, we may mention
that we have seen a letter from the
Commander of the Gordon Castle (Cas.
tie line of Steam Packets), who was
fortunate enough to save life at sea,
and who for his gallant conduct was
presented in September last with q
Gold Keyless Waltham Watch ny the
President of the United States, on be-
halfof the London Local Marine Board.
Referring to this Presentation Watch,
he says: "When left London the
watch was six seconds fast, and on my
arrival at Singapore it was only three
seconds slow, most extraordinary
performance for a watch, as / carried
it on my person the whole time.
compared it every day with my chro-
nomcters on the passage out, and it
seldom or ever differed one second
from them; in fact, | found it almost,
If not as good as my chronometers,
which is great deal to say for a watch
carried about and subject to all kinds
of jolts. London, England, The

AT SEA.

| watched the white sails as they spread
Their wings, like birds set free;
And some DER distant waves will ride,
Safe into wshcd-for havens glide
And sOmc-bc lost at sea.
All. thus upon Life's tossing main,
While Hope sings merriy,
Full many bark from of the strand
We launch with eager heart and hand
Nor dreamed of loss at sea.
But there were treachcrous rocks ana shoals
All, all unknown TO thee;
II matters not-thc heart d"th know
What cruel storm hath sunken low
The venture out at sea.
Mayhap it was no costly freight,
Though rich to You or me-
Yet Memory, as the days 20 by,
Still cOunteth DER with fearful eye
Her treasures lost at sea.
All, well, there is haven sweet
Where shipwrccl can not be:
Sad hearts who sit in patient pain,
There shall we gather back again,
Much that was lost at sea.
