in the shop an elderly gentleman, carrying

Lower animals, as the horse, the dog, the
elephant, the beaver, and such insects as the
bee, have intelligence and memory, but we
have no knowledge that they are conscious.
Those who affirm their consciousness must
prove it. If tho horse is conscious we are
not conscious Of it, nor can the horse assert
it. Nature he's not yet been SO unmerciful
to the horse as to make him conscious of his
lot. The difference between these two kinds
of mind force is this: the man thinks, and
he thinks about his thoughts-he knows that
he knows-he is conscious of his own con-
seriousness. The horse thinks, but he does
not think about his thoughts. He may know,
but he does not know that he knows.

Tie NOrth 4 mcricuH RCriCC has been
making our national banking system the
theme of one of its characteristic sym
pOsiumS." IL is somewhat remarkable
that of the men whose opinions are CON
sidered of consequence enough to be thus
sought and given to the public, but one
Hon. G. ;. Boutwell,, eX-Secretary of the
Treasury-is i'll favor of the continuanc
of the system.
Mr.. Dana Horton thinks that the ma
tlonal banking system might be made of
permanent service to the nation upon one
condition, the adoption of the bi-metallic
standard by all the leading nations of the
world. 1t is, however difficult to perceive
how the efficiency of the system would be
materially increased by the adoption of
such standard. If the system has
worked SO well for IL quarter of century
without this advantage, why should its
value for the future depend upon a hi
metallic standardY Mr.. Horizons position
is merely theoretical, and we do not think
that it is grounded in reason, certainly not
in necessity.
Two other contributors, Mr.. +. j. Scott
and MT Clark, take ground squarely
/ L,
Scott asserting that it promotes commercial
panics, and is therefore defective as a
financial machine, and Mr. Clark going
to the ridiculous extreme of claiming that
the national banking system is the "out-
come of the British confidence game of
specie basis, imitation and suspension. "
| He asserts that "a combination of nation
al banks could break the United States
treasury at any time, during an outward
drain of specie"
In reply TO Mr.. Scott it is sufficient tc
say that the national banking system, in
stead of being productive of financial
panics has stood the shock of many a Sc
we're financial storm during its history
and more than once has saved the credit
of the nation from shipwreck. AS a
financial machine" of course even it,
warmest advocates do not claim that il
is perfect, but they do claim that it is II.
nearly perfect as any system of the kind
can be made, in the present state of tinan
cial affairs, Mr. Clark seems to be ignor
ant of the first principles of banking
The principle of confidence in the gov
eminent and in commercial values ant
honesty lies at the foundation of modern
banking as of other business affairs

does not depend on the banks

The New York IFOrLd seems to think
that the Sheffield Cutters, the Clifton

composed of lords and dukes. At any rate

never raised his voice on behalf of Democracy
and the party that gave him the first honor Of
