It must be remembered also that
this bank has during all Of these IA
years, furnished fat Offices to several
Of the stockholders whose salaries are
not included in the above enumer-
ated items of profit. The advocates
Of the National banking system urge
the absolute security of the people
against possible loss from this curren-
cy, as an argument in favor Of It's
continuance. Let It be understood
that the objection to iii not on ac-
count Of any doubt of this security,
but because the National bank is con-
sidered too expensive a luxury. We
might properly ask in this connOc-
tion, what il the security upon which
this currency resist Upon the Ma
tionNl bonds of course. What then
is the security Of the National bonds7
UnquestionOble the faith Of the gov
ernment, and the aggregate wealth
of the entire country. This beng
true, is the currency any better for
being issued through the banks than il
issued in the form Of greenbaCks di-
reCtly from the government This is
one Of the questions that our order
submits for Che consideration Of its
mOlnhers. Let it, investigation be

The director Of the mint says: "Tho
coins OF all commercial nations ,are in
part produced from the melting of
coins Of other nations IL is as bull
lion only that the nations Of the world
treat each others coins" This state
ment indicates that ut least one man
connected with the financial matters
Of government has discovered the fall
lacy Of a "money of the world" Mon
ey in it's true ssnse 10 creation Of
law, and as such is purely national in
character. This being true, TO have
foreign money among us is impossi-
bic. IL is also true that when we
send gold or silver abroad, no matter
in what shape II may be, whether in
bullion or coin, il goes as a commodi-
ty and nothing else. 1t goes under
the same conditions and for the same
as eithor wheat or pork.
II is sold under the same market rules
of quality and weight that governs all
other commodities, and It'll held for
consumption and use in exactly the
same manner. 1t never goes from
this country with the idea Of return
ing any more than a barrel ofhour or
a box OF bacon. While the wheat
and meat 90 to feed the hungry the
gold and silver 80 to furnish q cur
rency. The idea that our coin goes
to England and remains as tho coin
Of America until, through some COM
mercial changes, it is sent back, isnot
true. American coin is melted and
made into foreign coin as soon as pos
sible,and is continued in that form as
long Ns commercial or Legislative
wisdom or trickery can keep it. The
table given in the National BcOno-
mist oflast week shows that, during
the fiscal year 1859, nearly $65,OOO,
900 Of gold and silver went abroad
TO stay, and therefore the currency Of
the United States was lessened by
that amount and as a consequence
failures, low prices, and hard times
resulted Economist

Laborers' Union Of America, result
ing practicallyin the combination Of
the middle classcs with 100000 vot-
ers in the ranks.
A secret conference between Mas
tor Workman Powderly Of tho
Knights Of Labor and Evan Jones
president Of tho Farmers and Labor
ers union last night, which lasted un-
til an early hour this morning, result
cd in a.thorough understanding being
reached and to-day President Jones
said that confederation WIS now an
established fact while Master Work
man Powdorly admitted chat there
was much truth in what Mr.. Jones
had said
Committees from tho two farmers
associations held a secret meeting to-
day at which the idea OF consolida-
ting was discussed atlength. There
were no dissenting votes when til =
question was put toR vote whether
the Alliance would consolidate with
the Farmers and Laborers union on
certain conditions. These wore tho
approval Of the steps taken by tho
delegates Of the two alliances and rat
ifcation Of the compact by two thirds
of the states represented by alliances
Mr.. Powderly on invitation Of the
Farmers alliance visited their head
quarters to-day and for half hour
held a levee.
The expression on the part OK tho
Delegates about the hotel corridors is
that the visit Of the Knights Of Labor
committee at.thistime will be produc
tive Of good results. Whilethe opin-
ion is generally held that an ANAL
gamation Of the laborers and toilers is
not looked on as q consummation that
will be reached now or this year, it il
thought that the time Of q general
union OF labor will not bO deferred
long.
During the day General J. b.
Weaver Of Iowa, the famous green
hacker, arrived and was, next to Pow
derly, the lion of the hour. All were
jubilant save the few farmers who
think the Endorsement OF the Henry
George land doctrine debars from
full fellowship with farmers.
AT the afternoon session, the &C mmit-
tee not being ready to report Master
Workman Powderly delivered an ai-
dress. He was enthusiastically greet
ed. He paid attention to the land
question, railroad transportation, tho
formation of the knights Of Labor,
and the present aud future hopes Of
the order. He related how tho
Knights had attempted to run CO..
operative coal mine in Indiana, in
which they were thwarted by the
railroads and dwGlE at length upon
the advantages Of confederation of
the middle classes. General j. b.
Weaver Of Iowa also spoke.

Mr. A has a government bond Of
100000 drawing 5per cent interest.
He desires 10 increase his profits on
this Investment and he deposits this
bond with the government, and re-
ceivos $4,000 in currency which, as
an Incorporated National Bark, he
may loan to the people at any rate
per cent obtainable. He thus loans
the same money to tho government
and TO the people at tho same time
and receives interest from each upon
tho same Investment. 1t is further
more provided bya concurrent reso-
luton approved March II 1874, that
the Secretary Of the Treasury may
Day the interest on these bonds ono
year before il is due. In addition TO
this Che bonds are exempt from tax
alton. No tax is levied on their cap
ital or deposits, and "only one per
cent on their circulation" "Some Of
these banks are also designated as
government repositories and receive
the benefit Of the use of millions Of
dollars froe of charge" Some idea of
the profits derived through this sys-
tenn Of finances may be obtained from
the following report OF William H.
English Of Indiana, president OF the
National bank Of Indianapolis.
"Icongratulate the stockholders OF
our enterprise. The bank has been
in operation IA years under my con-
troll, with a capital stock Of S5OO,OOO.

posing that his successor would be APP
pointed in a short time and desiring
not to embarrass the administration by
leaving the Office vacant, Mr.. Tren.
holm consented to serve until his sue.
cessor was appointed and qualified, but
the matter was delayed so long that he
found 1T impossible to remain in the
city and at the same time discharge the
obligations he had assumed in N.York.
He, therefore, made proposition to
his assistant, Mr.. Abrahams, that he
act in his stead and receive therefor his
(the Controller's) salary in addition to
his own. Mr.. Abrahams would not
consent to this, but upon Mr.. Trenholm's
assurance that he would be ready and
willing at all times to assist him in the
discharge of his duties until an appoint.
ment was made, 1T was arranged that
they should exchange salaries, the dep
uty to take his chiefs and the Control.
Ter to take his assistants, and this ar
rangement has been in effect ever since
Colonel Trenholm's departure for New
York. The salary of the Controller is
$4,000 per annum, and that of his as
sistant $4,000 per annum. Mr.. Abra-
hams has beer in almost daily commu.
nication with MIR. Trenholm in regard
to the business of the Office and has
been governed by his advice on all i'm.
portant matters. The arrangement Of
course ceased with the induction Of the

among the boys of this city, and there
are physicians who tell of its evil effects
upon the constitution and health of

nervous affections, interferes with the
digestion, induces insomnia, leads to
muscular debility, causes diseases Of
the mouth and eyes, and blunts the
mental powers. 1t befouls the air.
leaves its faint upon the garments, and
is apt to create a liking for liquor. 1t
is injurious in every way and advanta-
geous IN no respect. Several state
legislatures, including those of New
Jersey and Michigan, have bills under
consideration for the prohibition Of the
sale of cigarettes to minors, and a large
amount of testimony favorable to such
action has been presented to them. In
Mich. the testimony of 800 teachers Of
boys has been taken on the subject, and
many of the facts given are of kind
that might we'll alarm parents. In this
city, especially at night on the east
side, one may often see groups of sallow
faced urchins indulging In the baneful
habit.

1t is being built by Mrs Martin Hawley
of Baltimore, in memory of the late M.
Hawley, her husband, and adjoins the
cottage premises occupied by Mrs. H.
as summer home.
The building, in point of architect
ural beauty and originality Of design,
will be one of the finest church edifces
in all this section. 1t is to be built Of
mountain sandstones, and the stones
are to be used as far as practicable in
their original shape and condition, and
there is to be no tooling, hammering or
other work put upon the outside face
of the wall, which will therefore show
all the various stains and discolorations
natural to the stone. The interior will
be finished in natural wood.
