Some of Congressman Kelley’s Errors.

Hr. 8.65 Kelt# claims to pursue the inductive method m political economy; that is, he claims to proceed upon the basis of facts—to collect all attainable facts relating to any given question, observe them in their true relations, and thence, draw his conclusions. Now observe how he treats facts. In his Indianapolis speech he asserted that $75,000,000 of the notes of the Bank of England were irredeemable; or, what is the same thing, that the bank is only required to redeem its issues in excess of $75,000,000. This is not true. The bank is required to redeem in coin all of its notes that may be presented, to the last pound. Its issues to the amount of £15,000,000, or $75,000,000, are secured by Government bonds, much as our banknotes are secured, and it is bound to protect all its issues beyond that sum by an equal amount of specie in its vaults; but the portion secured by bonds, which Mr. Kelley says are irredeemable, is, in fact, as truly redeemable as the rest. Again, Mr. Kelley asserted that “England was compelled to suspend payment periodically,” evidently meaning that the' banks were compelled to suspend payment of their notes. This again is not true. Since the passage of the Bank act of 1844, limiting bank issues both in respect to the amount and denominations of notes, the notes have never been discredited in the least, though payments to depositors have several times been suspended. In other words, the paper currency of England has always been up to the specie standard ever since the passage of the act of 1844, no matter what disasters may have befallen the business community. And again, Mr. Kelley attributes the sufferings of the English people in 1822 to what he calls an “ insane policy of specie resumption,” ignoring the fact that these sufferings began long before that policy was inaugurated, ana when depreciated notes were “ the money of the realm,” and that they have experienced no sufferings at all to be compared with those since they have been firmly planted on the specie basis Once more, Mr. Kelley reviewed the banking history of this country for the purpose of showing the fallacy of the specie basis, ignoring the fact that, except for brief intervals, we have always had the rag basis, and never the specie basis, in this country. And once more, Mr. Kelley magnified the bond-greenback currency system, well knowing that it had never been tried anywhere on the face of the globe, and therefore that there was not one solitary fact to be adduced in its support And once more, Mr. Kelley attributed the late failures in England to an expansion of bank credits in consequence of the inadequacy of the currency, without bringing one single fact to show that the bank credits would have been any less proportionately had the volume of currency been ten times as great. And, finally, Mr. Kelley ignored entirely the experience of countries using irredeemable paper as compared with the experience of other countries using hard money—not paper nominally convertible into hard money, but hard money itself. The experience of California during and since our crisis of 1873 has been a standing fact condemning irredeemable paper money and demonstrating the safety and sufficiency of hard money. As long as Mr. Kelley misstates, perverts and ignores facts after this fashion he will have no claim to a place among inductive philosophers. —Chicago Timet.

A Talk About Greenbacks.

There are a few simple facts about the “ greenback” which cannot be denied, but which are often overlooked. We group here some of these facts—the A, B, C of the financial question: A “ greenback” contains the following promise: “The United States will pay the bearer dollars.” What does this promise of the National Government mean ? The only word in the sentence about which there can be any question is the last. What is a “dollar”? The answer is not difficult, for the “ dollar” existed before the greenback, and will exist long after this sort ot promise-to-pay has been retired. Whatever, therefore, constituted a dollar before the greenback law was passed is the quantity of value promised to be paid in redemption of the greenback. The laws of the United States define the word “dollar.” It means, according to them, 28% grains of gold made into coin and stamped at the mint of the United States, or an equivalent value of silver treated in the same way. This dollar is recognized the world over. It passes anywhere In Christendom at its face value. A bit of green paper, on the other hand, though stamped a thousand times over with the word “ dollar,” does not become the thing. It merely represents the thing, and does this st> imperfectly that it is worth, not a dollar, not 100 cents, hut a varying number of cents—6o, 70, 80 or 90—according to certain circumstances and the confidence felt in its redemption in actual dollars within a reasonable time. It is now worth about 86 to 87 cents. It has been worth only 38, and not long after it jumped to 80 cents and then tumbled down to 60, then up, next down, and so oh. If the inflation programme were to be fully carried out it would be worth 10 cents or 5 or 0 cents, like the French assignats, the rebel graybacks and other slunplaster scrip. It is not strange, perhaps, that the American people have forgotten what a “dollar” is, since there has not been a real dollar seen in general circulation east of the Rocky Mountains since 1861. Persons who wish to refresh their memory can do so by taking a trip to Nevada or California, where they will find real dollars circulating, and Federal scrip called “greenbacks” bought and sold like any other sort of dubious paper. Since “dollar” means a minted coin of 23% grains of gold, the promise printed on every greenback means that the United States will pay the bearer thereof as manygold dollars of 23% grains weight each as the paper calls for. The demonstration can be thrown into the form of a syllogism. Major premise: A dollar is 23% grains of gold, made into a coin and stamped at the mint of the United States; minor premise: A greenback is a promise to pay so many dollars; conclusion: Therefore, a greenback is a promise to pay so many minted coins containing 23% grains es gold each. The only question left an honest man or an honest nation to consider, under these circumstances, is, how shall this promise be kept? The best thing to do would be to redeem these green promises on demand at the Treasury and- the Sub-Treasuries. If this is impracticable, the next moet honest thing to do would be for the Government to offer to pay interest on them in the shape of a gold' bond, into which the peo- " pie should have the right to fund them. When they were first issued the holders had this right, and it should not have been taken away. Those who prefer to keep the greenbacks would have the privilege to do so, but those who preferred a bond for them should not be deprived of that option. It is not improbable that a bond payable in gold and bearing 3.65 gold interest would be satisfactory to the American people. It would be absurd to make the note payable, principal or interest, in another note of the maker. This would be like Micawber, who paid his note by giving another for it The obligation would still continue. Only the form ofiit would be changed. As long as the United States merely gives paper promise for paper promise it will always owe the original debt. To be out of it, it must give what it promised—gold dollars. It must hand over real dollars in exchange for its rag dollars. If not ready, then it should give a time-note, drawing interest, and payable when due in real dollars.— Chicago frityune. <

A regular encampment will be found at old Camp Morton. The first day will be devoted to social enjoyment and the second to parade, addresses, etc. A horrible threshing-machine accident recently occurred about eight miles southwest of Goshen, which caused the death of Anthony Ralfanyder, a wellknown farmer living in Middleburg Township. While oiling the machine he stepped on the arm at the side of the feedboard, and his right foot was instantly drawn into the rapidly-revolving cylinder. His leg was torn off by inches to within six inches of his body. A surgeon was sent for, who amputated the leg at the body. The sufferer lived but six hours after the operation, when he died in great agony.

The lightning express train on the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad recently collided with the Cincinnati mail train at Loogoo. tee.

Effects of Arctic Cold on Mar.

Lout. Payer, the Austrian arctic explorer, says the London Medical Record, has been laying some of the results of his explorations before the Geographical Society of Vienna. Refering to the influence of extreme cold on the human organism, he related that on March 14, 1874, he and his companions made a sledge journey over the Semiklar glacier, in order to make observations of Francis Joseph Land. Onthatday the cold marked forty degrees (Reaumur) below zero. Notwithstanding this intense cold M. Payer and a Tyrolese went oat before sunrise to make observations and sketch. The sunrise was magnificent; the sun seemed surrounded, as it does at a high degree of cold, by small suns, and its light appeared more dazzling from %s contrast with the extreme cold. The travelers were obliged to poor rum down their throats so as not to touch the edge of the metal cups, which would have been as dangerous as if they had been red-hot; but the rum had lost all its strength and liquidity, and was as flat and thick as oil. It was impossible to smoke either cigars or tobacco in short pipes, for very soon nothing but a piece of ice remained in the mouth. The metal of the instruments was just like red-hot iron to the touch, as were some lockets, which some of the travelers romantically, but imprudently, continued to wear next the skin. M. Payer says that so great an amount of cold paralyzes the will, and that under its influence men, from the unsteadiness of their gait, their stammering talk and the slowness of -their mental operations, seem as if they were intoxicated. Another effect of cold is a tormenting thirst, which is due to the evaporation of the moisture of the body. It is unwholesome to use snow to quench the thirst, as it brings on inflammation of the throat, palate and tongue. Besides, enough can never be taken to quench the thirst, as a temperature of thirty degrees to forty degrees below zero makes it taste like molten metal. Snow-eaters in the North are considered as feeble and effeminate, in the same way as an opium-eater in the East The groups of travelers who traversed the snow-fields were surrounded by thick vapors formed by the emanations from their bodies, which became con. densed, notwithstanding the furs in which the travelers Vere enveloped. These vapors fell to the ground with a slight noise, frozen into the form of small crystals, and rendered the atmosphere thick, impenetrable and dark. Notwithstanding the humidity of the air, a disagreeable sensation of dryness was felt Every sound diffused itself to a very long distance; an ordinary conversation could be heard 100 paces off, while the report of guns from the top of high mountains could scarcely be heard.

M. Payer explains this phenomenon by th« large quantity of moisture in the arctic atmosphere. Meat could be chopped and mercury used in the shape of balls. Both smell and taste become greatly enfeebled in these latitudes, strength gives way under the paralyzing influence of the cold, the eyes involuntarily close and become frozen. When locomotion stops the sole of the foot becomes insensible. It is some what curious that the beard does not freeze, but this is explained from the air expired falling instantly transformed into snow. The cold causes dark beards to become lighter; the secretion of the eyes and nose always increases, while the formation of the perspiration entirely ceases. The only possible protection against the cold is to be very warmly clothed, and to endeavor as much as possible to prevent the con densation of the atmosphere, while the much-vaunted plan of anointing and blackening the body are pronounced to have no real value.

French Custom-House Frauds.

We are perpetually hearing, writes the Paris correspondent of the London Standard, of new frauds upon the Custom-House, in which the ingenuity of unpolitical Frenchmen finds just now its favorite field of exercise. The last case reported shows masterly skill. Two men had been going about with samples of untaxed brandy, which they mysteriously offered at a very low price to such persons as they thought likely to buy. If the sample and price were accepted—which they always were, say the police—they brought a fifty-litre cask, with all secrecy. The cabaretier, suspicious, of course, with such sellers, had full liberty to tap it where he pleased, and he did so. Each hole of the gimlet brought forth cognac equal to sample, the men received their price, and the cabaretier, in high delight, carried off the cask for hot. tling. All went well for the first few litres; then the run of brandy stopped. On shaking the cask a sound was heard of gurgling liquid, but nothing would come through the bung-hole. After much trial and tribulation the secret was disoovered. In the fifty-litre cask a smaller one, holding forty-eight litres, was suspended, full of water. Only as much brandy had been provided as would fill the space between the barrels. These clever gentlemen took care not to make themselves too well known in one quarter, but the other day a victim spied them just delivering a cask, and they were taken red-handed. On reflection, however, the prosecutor thought it best to vanish, and the prisoners declare that their cognac has duly paid its lawful tax. As to the suspicious barrel, they say that they kept it and carried it about as a curiosity.

A man who owns a book-store facetiously remarked that he couldn’t leave Chicago this summer because he kept stationery. Smarty heard him and went away to spring it for a joke. This is the way he sprung it: “Mitchell can’t go oat of town this summer. Why?” “Don’t know-” “ Because he sells books and papers.” And he never can understand why the other fellow don’t laugh. Hundred-year-old people are getting plenty. A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette writes to that paper from Tylersburg, Clarion County, Pa.: “Mr. and Mrs. Alio, a couple residing within one mile of this place, are centenarians. The old gentleman was 100 years old in May last, and the old lady celebrates her 100th birthday this August,. and she is able to shake hay this harvest.” The car of progress has the axles oiled occasionally.

Plants kept in the windows should be turned every morning, or the light, striking on one side only, will draw the plant to that side so that all its branches and leaves will turn toward the window. The water in the saucers should never be applied to the plants. In cutting slips of any plant always choose the youngest branches; and cut off the slip at the junction of a joint or leaf, since the roots shoot more readily from such joints. If you follow these directions and put sufficient sulphate of ammonia to just taint the water applied to your plants, you may cultivate with success almost any plant, even though you are an entire novice.— Scientific American.

Pork and a Bushel of Corn.

There are many sources of possible error arising from the quality of the corn, the fineness with which it is ground, the method of feeding, either raw or cooked, the difference in the fattening capacities of pigs, owing to peculiarities of disposition* etc. Still, the experience of others is worth something, and may safely betaken as some general guide. One farmer, who made an effort to satisfy himself on the question as to the quantity of Indian meal it required to make a pound of pork, weighed off two hogs a year and a half old, and three pigs six months old, on the first day of September, then measured off old corn accurately and had it ground. Every night h% wet in boiling water meal enough for the next day’s use to such a consistency that it would run readily. The hogs had no slops from the house and nothing but meal and water. On the Ist of December they were killed, and five cents a pound was deducted for what they weighed on the Ist of September, when the trial began, and he found that, allowing six cents a pound for the pork which they actually laid on during the trial, they had paid ninety-eight cents per bushel for the corn, which gave him just about 16% pounds of pork to the bushel. Another farmer weighed a thrifty pig, five months old, 150 pounds, and then fed fifty-six pounds of corn-meal mixed with hot water, thin enough for hasty pudding. This bushel of meal was consumed by the pig in six and a half days, and the gain was just eighteen pounds. Another farmer put up a part Suffolk sow‘to fatten. Her weight was 235 pounds. From Oct. 4 (her weight being at that date 295 pounds) to Nov. 17 he fed her ten bushels, or 560 pounds, of marketable corn, and killed her at the latter date. Her live weight just before she was killed was 413 pounds, or an increase from the ten bushels of corn of 118 pounds of pork, being a slight fraction over four and a half pounds of com to one pound of pork, or a fraction less than twelve pounds of pork from a bushel of com, an increase per day of a little less than two and threequarter pounds. The price of corn at that time, in his neighborhood, was seventy cents a bushel, so that the pork cost him over seven cento a pound and he just barely got out of it whole, after allowing for shrinking. Probably, taking all the accurate trials together, the general average would be about ten and one-half pounds of pork to a bushel of .com of fifty-six pounds, and from this it is fair to deduct about onefifth, to get at the net weight, leaving, say, 8 2-5 or 8.40 pouhds of pork as the average net result of the judicious feeding of a bushel of corn, or one pound of pork from six and two-thirds pounds of com uncooked. The lowest amount of cooked com-meal is stated at three and four-fifths pounds to a pound of pork, which is hot far from what we stated it last week. Now taking all these experiments and we could easily show the relation which the price of com bears to that of pork, "by showing the price of pork per pound, at different prices per bushel for com. If com were twelve and a half cents a bushel pork would cost a cent and a half per pound, and in that proportion throughout; or giving it in decimato we have: Corn per Pork per Com per Pork per bv - dt. lb in cts. bu. in cts. bu. in cts. J* 1-78 40 4.77 S 8.38 45 5.85 2 a 63 50 5.95 2 56. .*..6.64 2 8.57 60 .7.14 g ..8:98 65 7.74 * 4- TO*. 8.33 If com costs seventy cento per bushel the pork will cost 8.33 cento a pound to produce, and so on. By reversing the table you have, of course, the value of corn per bushel at dis-

ferent prices per pound for pork—the com to be used in feeding for the production of pork; and to find what the price of pork should be per pound, taking the price of corn as the basis of calculation, you divide the price of a bushel of com by 8.40, the number of pounds of pork produced by a bushel of com, as we have seen, and the quotient will be the answer. If, for example, com is 70 cents, divide it by 8.40, and you have 8.33 cents. And so to find what the price of com should be when pork is selling at a certain price per pound, you multiply the price of a pound of pork by 8.40 and the product will be the answer Suppose pork is selling at 10 cents a pound, whatshould be the price of com used to feed out in its production ? You multiply the 10 cents by 8.40, the average number of pounds of pork made bya bushel of com, and you have 84 cents as the corresponding price of com. Now these figures may not be absolutely correct, but they will furnish some guide for calculation. —Massachusetts Ploughman-

Drought and Flood.

It has been a favorite theory of scientists that the drought to which large sections of the country have been subject for the past few years were caused by the rapid destruction of forests. In view of the unprecedented wet weather and floods of this season it is now asked whether this theory is correct or not. There are a great many things about the weather and its laws which we do not understand. J ust how forests can greatly influence the amount of rainfall is not so easily seen, but that forests do greatly influence the distribution and effects of rainfall is very evident. Thus, a country denuded ot its trees, the natural protectors, is open to the drying effects of both sun and wind; evaporation goes on rapidly and undisturbed, and the beneficial effects of rain when it does fall are greatly reduced. Then forests act as a kind of reservoir to hold back the rain that falls, and it is let out or distributed gradually, thus preventing in a measure the destruction which attends a heavy rainfall in a country deprived of such protection. Formerly streams that had their origin in dense forests flowed with considerable regularity all the year round, but since the forests have been cut away they dry up completely during the summer and become roaring, dashing, destructive torrents whenever a heavy fall of rain occurs. It requires no elaborate, learned argument to convince any man of common sense that forests do exercise a good effect on the climate of a country, but it requires a greater effort to induce the owners of these forests to cease destroying them. Within the memory of our fathers Ohio was covered with a dense forest, almost unbroken from Lake Erie to the 'Ohio River. Now three-fourths of her hills and valleys and plains are stripped bare, and the destruction still goes on scarcely unabated. The law has been spoken of as the great remedy in this matter, but a better one would be the creation of a strong public sentiment in favor of protection. Men of common sense will not work against their own interests, and whenever a man sees and understands that it is to his own interest to jealously protect his forest trees all wanton destruction will cease, and not till then. —Ohio Farmer. —The faculty of Yale College have forbidden the Sophomore secret societies on the ground that they are productive of insubordination and other evils. —A Boston man has run for office nineteen times, and as he has never been elected he talks of withdrawing his name.
