Circulation has stopped, the blood clogs
about the heart, and does not go out to
the extremities to perform its functions
in its circulation through its accustom-
ed channels. What do you do to RENE
dy il! Do you lace her still tighter
Such physician would be accounted a
simpleton, and his treatment set aside
without ceremony. No. You would
not send for doctor, you would under
stand it at once, and straightway loosen
the cords which had produced all the
mischief But Cur Government says
further contraction. Make the paper
scarce, We will reverse all the laws OF
trade, and work Hugh McCulloch
miracle in this nineteenth century.
Who cares for the poorman? Turn him
out to beg, TO starve, TO wander the
world as vagabond tramp, TO be lost
to his family, and an outcast TO society;
only let the favored pets of the nation
continue TO grasp and gorge and horde;
only ply the madmans expedient OF
further contraction.


Verify the patience of the people
amounts to stupidity; and as We have
before said, the time will come when q
change will bo essayed, but it may be
when the pulse of the victim is stilled
in dissolution, and the only remedy will
be found in reputation.


Another familiar remark which is
very handy with the conspirators is
"money is plenty, the banks have an
abundance of money, all you need is
good security to call it out" Yes, un-
doubtedly this is in part true !: .contrac-
tion is staguation-no enterprise, no III.
vestment. This is applicable TO the
moiety of money in the vaults of banks.
The Captain comes up ont OF the cabin
and orders sails furled with haste! The
skv is clear, what does it mean He
has noticed sudden change in the ba-
rometer; he is conscious of an approach
ing storm. So, capital is sensitive. The
capitalist knows there is bottom some
where, even though it should be sunk
out of sight. Shrinkage will go on so
long as contraction lasts, for contraction
means less motive power with which TO
conduct business; keep it up yet little
longer and you will discover the ulti-
matum to which it leads, but i'll the ul-
timatum you will find blighted de
struction to our brightest hopes.


1t is urged by the opponents OF the
greenback system, that the great stag
nation OF the times grows ont of two
causes, which we are wholly unable to
remedy. The war made home market
for manufactured goods, that stimulated
the making Of them TO an unusual ex-
tent, which is not now needed. In 9th
er words, the Government is no longer
customer. The army is reduced TO a
peace footing, we well know; the Gov
ernment is not large buyer as wher
the war was in progress. But we have
deprived our civilians from the means
OF buying Of each other, just in proper
ton as we have contracted the currency
OF the forty-five millions of citizens o
the United States, how many OF then
are living on short allowance? II wont
ed prosperity was on us instead of th'
paralysis which now threatens to engul
the whole land in ruin, what con,ras
would the change of want and supply
present. The great population prosper
Gus and happy, buying and selling, liv
ing aud allowing others to live, is il
not patent to every one that the resul,
of such a desirable change would re-
store old-fashioned prosperity, and give
