a precedent attention Is called TO the fol.
lowing:
In December, 1949, the London Times
announced the inevitable failure Of the
French republic and disIntegration OF
French society In the near future, but 30
wise was the administration Of the states
men OF that nation that two months later
IL was forced TO eat its own words-say-
ing In lts columns February 10, ls4O:
AS mere commercial speculation with
the assets which the bank held In hand
It might then have stopped payment and
llquldated lts affairs with every probab-
illty that very few weeks would enable
II to clear of lts liabilities. But this idea
was not for a moment entertained by M.
D'Argout, and he resolved to make every
effort to keep alive what may be termed
the circulation Of the liieblood Of the
community The task was overwhelming.
Money was TO be found to meet not only
the demands on the bank, but the neces-
stiles, both public and private, Of every
rank In society. II was essential to en-
able the manufacturers TO work, lest their
workmen, driven TO desperation, should
ding themselves among the most Violent
enemies Of public order II was essen
tial to provide money for the food Of
Paris, for the pay Of troops, and for the
daily support Of the industrial establish
ments Of the nation. A failure on any
one point would have led to fresh con-
vulsion, but the panic had been followed
by 80 great a scarcity Of the metallic
currency that a few days later out Of a
payment Of 2O,O00OOO fallen due, only
1900 francs could be recorded In silver.
In this extremity, when the bank alone
retained any available sums Of money,
the government came TO the rescue, and
on the night Of the 10Th OF March the
notes Of the bank were, by a decree, made
o legal tender, the issue Of these notes
being limited In all to 3500OO,0OO. butthe
the amount of the lowest Of them reduced
for the public convenience to 100 francs.
One of the great difficulties mentioned
in the report was to print these 100 franc
uotes fast enough for the public con-
sumption, In ten days the amount is
sued in this form had reached 80,0O0,000
francs.
To enable the manufacturing interests
TO weather the storm at moment when
all the sales were interrupted, a decree OF
the national assembly had directed ware
houses to be opened for the reception Of
all kinds Of goods, and provided that the
registered invoice of the goods 30 depos-
tied should be made negotiable by in
dorsement. The bank of France dis
counted these receipts. In Havre alone
100000 were thus advanced on colo
niAl produce, and In Paris 100000 on
merchandise: in all 6O,OOOOOO were made
available for the purposes Of trade. Thus,
the great institution had placed Itself, as
it were, in direct contact with every in
terest Of the community, from the min
lister OF the treasury down to the trader
In q distant outport. Like a huge hy-
draullc machine, IL employed its ColOs-
sal powers to pump a fresh stream into
the exhausted arteries Of trade to sustain
credit, and preserve the circulation from
complete collapse. From the Bank Char

ls needed, because under II the greatest
abuses may prevail, but a certain ad-
equate amount that adjusts Itself TO the
wants Of the country at all seasons. For
this purpose lot us demand that the
United States government modify its
present financial system:
/. SO as TO allow the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver or the Issue OF silver

Of bullion.
2. That the system Of using certain
banks as United States repositories be

that offer for sale during the one year
e5OO,OOO worth OF farm products, includ-
ing wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, rice, to-
bacco, cotton, wool and sugar, altogether,
a sub-treasury Office which shall have in
connection with IL such warehouses or
elevators as are necessary for carefully
storing and preserving such agricultural
products as are offered II for storage, and
It should be the duty Of such sub-treas-
ury department TO receive such agTlcul
tural products as are offered for storage
and make careful examination Of such
products and class same as TO quality and
give a certificate Of the deposit showing
the amount and quality, and that United
States legal tender paper money equal TO
80 per cont Of the local current value OF
the products deposited be advanced
on same at the rate Of l per cent. per an
mum, on the condition that the owner or
such other person as he may authorize
will redeem the agricultural product
within twelve months from the date Of
the certificate, or the trustee will sell
same at public auction to the highest
bidder for che purpose Of satisfying the
debt Besides the per cent. interest the
sub treasurer should be allowed to charge
trihe for handling and storage, and q
reasonable amount for insurance, but the
premises necessary for conducting this
business should be secured by the various
counties donating to the general govern
ment the land and the government build
Ing the very best modern buildings, fire
proof and substantial. With this method
In vogue the farmer, when his produce
was harvested, would place II In storage
where Il would be perfectly safe and he
would secure four.fliths Of its value Ia
supply his pressing necessity for money
at ! per cent. per annum. He would ne
gotiAte and sell his warehouse or elevator
certificates whenever the current price
suited him, receiving from the person to
whom he sold only the difference between
the price agreed upon and the amount
already paid by thesub.treasuEer. When

as follows: In the last four months OF
the year the agricultural products Of the
whole year having been harvested, they
are placed on the market 10 buy money.
The amount OF money necessary 10 sup
ply this demand ls equal 10 many times
the actual amount In circulation. Never
theless the class that controls the volume
Of the circulating medium desires 10 pur-
chase these agricultural products for
speculative purposes, 80 they reduce the
volume of money by boarding, In the
face Of the augmented demand, and
thereby advance the exchangeable value
Of the then inadequate volume OF money,
which ls equivalent TO reducing the
price Of the agricultural products. True,
agrlculturlsts should hold their products
and not sell az these FulnOusly low prices.
And no doubt they would II they could,

that time, and they being forced 10 have
money at q certain season when they
have the product Of their labor to sell,
the power Of money 10 oppFess by It's
scarcity is applied, until II makes them
turn lose their products 30 low that their
labor expended does not average them 90
cents per day. This illustrates the power
of money TO oppress; the remedy, as be-
fore, lies in removing the power Of the
fulcrum-the inheKible government is-
sue-snd supplying agOvernment Issue,
the volume Of which shall be Increased
to correspond with the actual addition TO
the wealth Of the nation presented by
agriculture at harvest time, and dimin-
lshed as such agricultural products are
consumed. Such heXibllity Of volume
would guarantee a stability Of price based
on cost Of production which would be
compelled 10 reckon the pay for agricul-
tural labor az the same ratio az other en-
ployment. Such hexibllity would rob
money Of its most potent pOwer--the
power to oppreas--and place q premium
on productive effort. But how may 80

the United States with only slight modi

The government aud the people Of thlt
country realize that the amount Of gOlC
and silver, and the certificates based on
these metals, do not comprise a volume
Of money sufficient to supply the wants
Of the country, and In order to increase
the volume the government allows indi
viduals to associate themselves into
body corporate, and deposit with thO
government, bonds which represen
national indebtedness, which the gov
ernin nent holds in trust and Issues TO sucl
corporation paper money equal to 20 pc

With stock reduced to the proper pro-
portions and feed In abundance prepared,
il is well to consider how ii can be fed out
with the greatest economy o. labor and
the least waste There is vast amount
of both feed and labor wasted in the
winter season because the proper calCuIa-
tions and arrangements were not made
beforehand. We greatly admire the ar
rangements some farmers make with very
small expense by which they save a great
deal both Of feed and labor and bring
their stock through in fine shape, while
other farmers, with less stock and the eX-
pandimre of more labor and feed, come
through the winter with their stock thin
in flesh and in IN uuthrifty condition.
The best way to learn the trick is to watch
the farmers that have learned IL and do
likewise. There are many things in con.
Beetion with farming that can be learned
Ia no other way Neither hooks nor news
papers can teach the really cute tricks, or,
rather, devices, of the farmers trade.
The next month, which intervgues before
winter, IN real earnest, may be expected,
will be one Of the busiest Of the year If
full preparation for the winter is made,

not presume TO teach farmers the details
Of the proper prerarati0u for winter, din

Ready for winte.

A great deal OF the winter comfort and
annual profit on the farm depends on tho
preparation that has been made for
winter. To prepare for winter in the
most effective way possible involves a
good many careful calculations and a good
deal Of skillful work 1t is nice thing
to determine what stock it will pay to
keep through the winter. There ac-
cumuates ON every farm more or less
stock that could possibly be kept at a
profit on grass In the summer, but that

will be no use next year, and hence ought

the list OF stock ON the farm. II is dways
well to get rid of this class of stuff in the
fall, when it is possible without too great
sacrifice. 1t anyone will buy 1t at a
public or private sale without further feed,
so much the better. 10 is not easy TO cal
cuate the amount Of feed that is needed
by the took on the farm through the vim
ter, and theonly safe way is toproyide con
sideyably more roughness than there is
reason % believe viii be- needed. With
barns ana hay sheds roughness can be
carried over from one year to another
and it is not wise 70 stint the quantity,
1t is always better to carry a quantity
