Mr.. A. ID. McNair, of New York.
gave lecture in the courthouse last
Tuesday TO am audience of farmers.
His subject was Glow TO Fertiize the
soil with Peas" Not many were out
to hear Mr. McNair but those who
were there seemed to appreciate his
remarks.
Among other interesting things the
speaker said: There are 40 pounds Of
nitrogen i'm ton of pea hay and fully
as much or more in ton of clover hay.

lst. Peas and clover are the only i'm
portant crops of this latitude that
gather nitrogen from the air. If they
grow small they gather little and if
they grow large they gather much.

worth Is cents per pound.
Fertilizers for peas aud clover should
contain much potash and phosphoric
acid both Of which enable these crops
to gather more nitrogen from the air.

however, TO enable persons in the
country to gather their own ice.
THE HEALTH
OF the section is simply unique. An
epidemic is unknown. Miasma is a

issues named above were receivable
for taxes, except custom dues, go
that the heavy taxes were paid
promptly and cheerfully without
any very serious inconvenience to
anyone. Another item right at
this point must be mentioned, as
it is very nportant factor in the
financial hietory OF our civil war,
with its "debased and dishonest
money Note this carefully:
The s6O,000,OOO OF old demand
notes issued in 1861 were receivable
for custom dues, and would pay
interest on the public debt just as
well as gold and when gold went to
S2.S5 premium, as it did in August
1864, these pieces Of paper, without
any Intrinsic value, went up to
50 50 premium also.
Now | ask, why was this? But
one answer can be given, viz, they
were made a full legal tender--iull

the back. They were just as good
as gold. for the reason that they
could be all that gold could on the
payment OF debt and taxes. Was
there anything dishonest in that?
Oh, no, nothing dishonest in the
patriotic congress and executives
we had at that time.
The dishonesty any disloyalty
was in that British gold board on
Wall street, just where it has been
ever since.
They saw very clearly that if he
government was TO continue its
sovereign right and power in coin

them full legal tender money
power-that the traitor tyrant and
coward-gold-would lose it's grip
as a robber and domineering force
over the government.
So when in 1862, it was proposed
to issue $25O.OO0OOO more OF these
American dollars, all the power Of

I have found in my experience OF
over twenay years as currency re-
former ('hat infant"), and especl-
ally within the past ten years-ever
since Charley Foster, John G..
Carlisle and our present Lieman
Judas Gage became the very apt
pupils of the "Ananias institute Of
sound honest money"-that moth
ing was more needed by honest
Americans than correct and
reliable compilation OF official re-
ports, in as small a space as
possible, with which to meet and
ward off the false statement and
wilful lies Of our modern disciples
Of old Ananias and Sapphira.
In q former chapter ! spoke OF
the wonderful power and inhunce
Of venal, corrupt and subsidized
press in misleading and deceiving

now propose to try my hand in
preparing such a document as |
have indicated, and, in order to
make it so that those who use it
can do so with confidence, | have
the authority in every item and
the page OF the official report from
which it is taken.
1t is well known that every ten
years federal census is taken here
in the United States the first one
having been taken it 179O-al ways
under the direction OF the secretary
of the treasury.
The census OF 1880 was taken
mostly under the direction and
supervision Of William Window,
secretary of the treasury under
Garfield.
Mr. Window detailed specialist
Mr. Rafael A. Bayley-in the
department to compile, in abstract
form, a statement OF all government
loans and other matters concerning
the national debt and it's paper
currency.
This Mr.. Bayley did, and it was
published as an appendix to the
United States census of 1880 in a
volume atlas FORM of 200 pages
under the title of "National Loans
of the United States from, July a,
1776, to June 30, 188O"-usually
referred to as the "History of Old
Loans"
That volume is now lying before
me and in the tables | give / also
give the page upon which each and
every item give can be found, so
that anyone can give any particular
item whether relating to bonds or
paper currency with the full assur-
ance that it is correct.
am doing this more especially
for the benefit of our younger class
of men who were born and have
grown to manhood since the close
of our civil war. We older men
remember very well that there was
no gold or silver in circulation from

dollars made their appearance.
