get our souls mortgaged, even our con-
science scared, so that we will fall in
line and say "credit ruin" calamity
howler," etc.
The above report does not tell half.
But to make it stronger would be use
less, for individual knowledge Of the
condition knows more than could be told
in volumes of reports. One thing is GER
tain, an independent yeomanry has be-
come only a dream, and the English
landlord has a peer in the landlord OF
America. The brswny hand and sum
tanned face of the freeholder in the west
is fast passing into history, and the Irish
tenant has a peer in the once American
yeomanry.
From whence did this start? What is
the cause and remedy? l will not in
this article undertake to give remedy;
but turn to the report Of the commits
sloner of agriculture Of the United
States for 1866, and you will find these
words:
''The agricultural condition Of the northern
states was never more flourishing. High
prices, accessible markets, and crops Of
average abundance have insured good
profits, and as a result, mortgages have been
paid, farm buildings erected, permanent
improvements accomplished, farm imple-
ments obtained, and in hundreds Of in
stances a surplus invested in government
bonds"
An independent yeomRnry existed in
America then. Landlords were unknown
upon American soil. Millionares, only
two. But to-day now IS it? Tongue or
pen is powerless to describe.
Let US see what in the main gave the
life and prosperity that graced our fair
land in 1866 as described. Turn to the
report Of the secretary Of the United
States treasury for 1866, page 81, and
you will find:
"It is not denied that the losses which the
country has sustained of able bodied men
during the war is one cause Of existing high
prices; but mainly they are the result Of a
redundant currency. Prices advance as the
volume of currency increases"
The above gives answer to the agricul-
tural report, and tells why farmers were
able to pay mortgages and have surplus
money to invest in government bonds. 1t
was redundant circulation OF money,
which means really more than is needed.
Is that the condition today Is there q
redundant circulation nowP Well, l
should think not, when the nation is
bordering on financial panic.
The question was asked, from whence
did the decline start? Turn to General
Grants message to congress Of December
7, 1874, and you will find these words:
"Since the convening Of congress, one
year ago, the nation has undergone pros
tration in business and industries such as
has not been witnessed with us for many
years. Speculation as to the cause for this
prostration might be INDUCED in without
profit, because as many theories would be
advanced as there are independent writer's
those who express their own views with
out borrowing-upon the subject. Without
indulging in theories as to the cause Of this
prostration, therefore l will call your atten-
ton only to the facts, and to some plain
questions as TO which it would seem there
should be no disagreement.
During this prOstration two essential
elements of prosperity have been most

The ladies have been considerably
exercised recently over the prospect
of crinoline becoming again the pre-
vailing fashion, as it was twenty hve
years ago. No more unbecoming
and ridiculous garb could be invented.
And besides it was very uncomforta
BILE for the wearer. A woman could
not safely sit down without first care
fully adjusting her hoop skirts. The
only redeeming feature about the
fashion was that on windy day there
was frequently exposed to public gaze,
shapely extremities of the human
anatomy which are ordinarily intend
ed to be hidden from sight. But it is
not likely that the fashion will pre-
vail. The Princess of Wales has tried
on hoop skirt, and declares that she
will never disfgure herself with such a
garb, and that settles it.
