THE NATURE AND NECESSITY OF PAPER
CURRENCY.
By benjamin FRANKLIN.


By BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
There Is no science, the study of which
is more useful and commendable than
the knowledge of the true interest of ones
country; and perhaps there Is no kind OF
learning more abstruse and intricate,
more difficult to acquire in any degree Of
perfection than this, and therefore more
generally neglected. Hence it is that we
every day find men In conversation con-
tending warmly on some point in politics,
which, although it may concern them
both, neither Of them understands any
more than they do each other.
Thus much by way of apology for this
present Inquiry into the NGtwrc and
Necessity of Paper Currency. And il
anything I shall say may be means Of
fixing subject, that is now the chief
concern of my countrymen, In clearer
light, l shall have the satisfaction of
thinking my time and pains well en-
ployed.
To proceed, then.
There is q certain proportionate guam
tity of money requisite to carry on the
trades Of a country freely and currently;
more than which would be Of no advan-
tage in trade, and less, if much less, ex
ceedingly detrimental to It.
This leads uS to the following general
considerations:
First-A great sOGnt Of money, in any
trading country, occasions interest to be
Of very high rate. And here 1t may
be observed that it is impossible by any
law to restrain men from giving or re-
ceiving exorbitant interest where money
is suitably scarce. For he that wants
money will find out ways to give 10 per
cent, when he cannot have It for less,
although the law forbids to take more
than per cent. Now the interest of
money being high is prejudicial to a
country in several ways. It makes land
bear q low price, because few men will
lay out their money in land, when they
can make much greater profit by lend
ing out upon interest. And much less
will men be inclined to venture money
at sea, when they can, without risk or
hazard, have great and certain profit by
keeping it home; thus trade is dIscour-
aged. And If In two neighboring coun-
tries the traders Of one, by reason of a
greater plenty Of money, can borrow it to
trade with at q lower rate than the trad
ers Of the other, they will lnfsllibly have
the advantage, and get the greatest part |
of the trade into their own hands; for he |
that trades with money he hath borrowed |
st 8 or 10 per cent cannot hold market |
with him that borrows his money at 8 |
or 4. On the contrary, q plentiful cur

Louisiana Lore.

We extract the following from a long
article written by MIR. ID. A. Valentine,
one Of the editors OF The Times, of Clay
Center, Kans., who was one Of the edi-
tOrial party who visited this section In
December last:
Climate, soil, natural advantages of
every kind. barring too much water in
the way of overflow. all unite in making
parts of Louisiana the poor mans para
disc. Here one man can thoroughly cul-
tivate twenty or twenty-five acres of
ground and force from friendly soil
more good hard dollars annually than
in any other locality this writer has ever
visited. Whether the small farmer
turns his attention to either cane or rice
the result is the same, and. under the
latter-day and rapidly-develOping system
of central plants for the treatment OF
either, his outlay is but trifling as COM
pared with that of the Northern and
Western farmer. If he raises cane the
planting recurs but once in three years,
the two remaining seasons being given
over to volunteer crops. which almost. if
not quite. equal the first trial. There is
practically no end TO the time in which
he may save his crop. for should frost
visit his fields it but augments the
yield of sap and makes the working the
easier. During the hOeing or working
season he must be diligent if he would
prosper. for vegetation which blights
and hinders and retards the growth Of
the cane is more rank and devastating
than anything we know of in this part
of the country. After the cane Is cut
and laid in "windrOws" he can then at
his leisure haul it to one Of the many
mills whose smOkestacks dot every emil
nence and have 1t converted into the
finest sugar known to commerce. In
the meantime there are no climatic ri
gOrs known which make living burden
and the raising of stock hazardous en-
terprise. This is in fall and winter and
early spring, the reader must remember.
What the summers would develop in the
way of disease, insects, or lasting and
pitiless heat, remains to be seen. though
the inhabitants say the thermometer
never goes higher than IS Or9O.
In the Teche country about one hun
dred and fifty miles southwest OF New
Orleans they have what in their pretty
ignorance the inhabitants call "prairies
and hills" but ii makes a Kansas man
smile in the palm Of his hand to heal
those little patches of grass called "prai.
ries." What would they call our be-
wildering distances. stretching farther
than eye can reach. unbrOken by tree OF
shrub, ami all waving in succulent
blue-stem? Then their hills rise sheer
from the plains to height of sometimes
thirty feet. A great country for "prai
ries and hills"
The ladies never became weary OF ad'
miring the beautiful flowers, which
grew in almost every door yard. Roses
more perfect than any are ever seen ir

A great many OF the delegates TO the

vention just closed in this city took advantage
of the visit to Omaha to do considerable
shopping. Most of the ladies went home
with large parcels of goods from the Omaha
stores.
The general officers Of the organization
were the recipients of the very highest com-
mendaUion ut the hands of the delegates by
being elected unanimously to fill their rcspec-
tive offices another year. Mrs. Fitch, having
removed from the state, was the only excep-
ton to the rule. Ihe work per-
formed by Mrs. Hitchcock, the presi.
dent; Mrs. G.. NJ. Woodward,
vice president at large and state organizer;
Miss ELLA M. Watson, recording secretary,
and Mrs. NJ. Nj. Lantry, treasurer, was
highly satisfactory to the ladies of the union.
Mrs. Fitch was a very efficient corresponding
secretary, ana the organization was 10th to
part with her, but her WORK was admirably
performed by Mrs. OctavIu IL. Jones in her
absence, and this fact suggested Mrs, jones'
fitness for the Office, and she was elected IQr
