moro valuable by reason Of tho increased age

sion; and, third, by lien Jpn the distilley
aud distillery premises Thus IL will be seen
that the government is perfectly secure, and
will get.interest at a rate as high as it pays OH
the national obligations, and will suffer no
loss by reason Of leakage or evaporation.
The question, then, is tho plain business
one, namely, whether the creditor snail on
the terms lust mentioned whereby she is por-
fectly secure, extend time to debtor who Is
in distress.
1t seems to mo that unless tho creditor
needs the money IL would DO harsh not to do
so, and especially If, by refusing, good Gus
toner may be ruined and the government
may, in the end, lose money by tho failure to
produce the article which pays the tax.
If trade should become prosperous tho ex-
tension will not BIO asked for, although per-
mitted by the provisions of the bill, and If II
shall not become prosperous the debtor will
be in very great distress unless this measure
or something like 1t is adopted.
If the subject were any other than whisky
there would probably DO but very little diff
Guilty. Viewing it in the abstract, as have
conceived IL my duty to do, IL seems that tho
name or quality of the article should not
make any difference in determining a plain
business proposition such as / suppose this TO
be. 1t was long since made business mat
ter by tho government in its mode of deal
ing with it.
have looked at tho subject in its rovenuo
aspects only without reference to any theory
of morality which may be supposed to be in
volved in it, and which, indeed, in my pres
emit position l could properly have nothing
whatever to do, and unhesitatingy say that
can SEQ no objection to the proposed logisa-
tion so long as provision Is made for the por-
feet security Of the government for the ulti-
mate payment of tho whole amount due,
together with interest at tho rate of, OF least,
Al per cent. during tho time of tho extension,
and so long also rs it is provided that there
shall be no allowance for loss by leakage or
evaporation during the extended period.
These provisions j understand to be in
cluded in tho pending bill. They certainly
are included in the proposed draft of bill
which herewith submit for your consdera-
ton, as one which will affect the object
have in view, namely, the absolute security
of the government against loss in the event
that congress shall think proper to legislate
upon the subject at ALL

How Stanton was snubbsd.

A leading citizen of Tuscarawas
county, Ohio, gives me the following
about . curious old character named
Blake, whose history is bound up in the
earlier history of that region. "Old
Blake" was the name he went by in Cen
trail Ohio. He will he remembered by
the old citizens of Philadelphia and Ca
nal Dover as one of the wealthiest, and
most eccentric characters. He was for
q time sheriff of the county, and per.
formed the duty ofhanging Fenson, the
man who killed the postboy. As sheriff,
Blake knew all the lawyers who prac-
ticed at the bar in tho county, and he
was especially we'll acquainted with Ed
win NJ. Stanton, who often came over
from Steubenville. Stanton was then
Q young man, and Blake took sort OF
fatherly interest in him. After time,
however, he left Steubenville and the
two men lost sight of each other.
At last, one winter when Stanton
had gotten to be Secretary Of War,
Blake took . notion he would come II
Washington to zee him. He did so
On going to the War Department he
asked to be shown to the Secretary
room. The messenger asked for hi
card and told him he would have Il
wait and see whether the Secretary
could see him. This rather nettlei

The Chicago correspondent Of tho
New York Evening Post, estimates that
the corn crop of 1884 will, in the states
Of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Dakota, Minnesota and Wscon-
sin, amount 70 /, 1871, 900. 900 bushels. q
against S52 $50, 900 bushels in 1883,
and S13,771 900 bushels in 1882. OF
course all estimates as to this crop are
subject to possibility Of drought in Au-
gust and some parts in September, but
the outlook now is good. The season
in the great corn producing belt Of
country was late, and until recently
there has been good deal Of anxiety,
but as the season progresses, the con-
ditions became more favorable, while il
is in the order of natural events chat
the cool, il not cold, summer thus far
should be balanced by ct least fall
warmth during August and September.
A large yield Of corn, of good quality,
would round out the harvests Of tho
country into an sbandance hitherto Nm.
equalled, and would give us wealth
which would inevitably set the wheels
of trade in active motion. Time Is the
essence of tho problem.
