Our fnanciers and political economists
are, it would appear, completely bafiled :;
that unknown quantity, chance, is an in
sidiOus and relentless factor-the VERT
able bull in the china ~shOp-when left
alone to compete with dishonest bank
officials. This is a proposition which
needs no demonstration further than
daily facts furnish the proof; tut if there
are any doubling ThOmases, come, let US
reason togcther-the analysis Of truth
will harm no one now, nor hereafter.
With alarming frequency We hear Of
banks and banking institutions, all over
the United States and other countries
less frequently as well, going to the wall,
whose assets are, as a general rule, much
less than their liabilities. DO those de-
funct in~stitutiOns-the national banks
lose anything by "busting," think you ?
Are not those festive depositOrs, whom
the Philistines inveigled under the delu
sive promise Of absolute safety and
tempting dividends, the ones, in fact, who
90 to the inevitable wall without remedy:
The collateral securities put up by the
banks to protect their dcpOsitors are, in
most cases, an ignis fatuus which leads
the gullible, unwary depOsitor to tinan-
cial ruin and suicide, and the country at
large to the brink of bankruptcy, just as
we now see it. Unless the general gov
eminent takes the matter in hand, and
by wise and prudent legislation avert the
impending catastrophe, the sixty,fVe
cent dollar now in circulation will never
furnish the amount of confidence neces-
sary to insure either national or indi-
vidual happiness. However, we are will
ing, like Barkis of old, to accept a few
thousand of those same sixty five centers
on probation, and will trust to their
future purchasing capacities. This con-
tiding trust on our part is born of the
confidence hat we place in the wisdom
Of your Uncle Growers ca. for an extra
session of congress-, which will deal i'm.
mcdiately with Sherman's silver law and
its repeal; will thus restore public conf.
denCe to the channels where it belongs,
and Danish distrust and threatened an.
archy from the land. You will all admit
that this is a contamination devOutly to
be wished then why not lay aside party
preiudices and work in unison till the
ends in view are an assured fact?
1t is tie curse of pride and ambition,
no less in nations han in individuals,
that we all are grasping after the loaves |
and fishes, regardless of future conse-
quenccs each mothers son of us plainly
sees a defect in the color of the rose and
in our neighbOr's conduct; the solar svs- |
TEN is not fashioned to suit our ideas of
utility. Why should the moon be made
of cheese and placed so far beyond our
reach
We are reliably informed that the ex
ecutive committees Of GideOn's band and
the farmers alliance at a Joint meeting |
held, a few nights since, at Bragtown
formulated a memorial which will be
presented to congress at its extra session
by Major Jack Sellars, their advocate.
Major Jack is now being carefully |
schoolcd in political diplomacy by the
secretary of GideOn's fraternity, Colonel
Bucket, who will accompany him to
Washington as c~6adjutor in the impor.
tant mission.

however remote The good old grangers,
it seems, are anxious to do something
which will benefit both themselves and
posterity-a laudable intention-and may
the effects of their good deeds live to
bless the advancing ages long after they |
are numbered with the pathetic dust of
the nations fathers. Who says that dis
interested gratitude is one of the lost
arts? l. NAHN
