—Now and then we come across an indlividual who says that since there isf, sa;”littlg "difference between greenbacks and gold, there i 3 no necessity of repealing the resumption act. For the benefit.of all such we quote the following from a communication to the Indianapolis Journal: “You will permit me further to say that those who believe that because the margin between coin and currency is so slight that we can soon resume and maintain specie payment, are surely in vé,ry error. Look at the situation. The late statement of the Secretary of the Treasury and that of the banks of the United States show that of the $665,000,000 of currency outstanding, but $145,000,000 are, visible in the Treasury and banks. A little of the balance of the $500,000,000 is in trade channels, and the remainder is idle

. and hoarded to pdunce upon the Treasury- as soon as resumption begins.— Why? Because those who hold it do not believe that specie payment can be maintained a month withfthe coin . that can be obtdined, and they know ' that when the break-down comes gold - will go kiting, and they will reap fortunes out of the misery the shameful pretense of ‘resumption’ precipitate.” A Valuable Medical Treatise. - The edition for 1878 of the sterling ‘Medical Annual, known as Hostetter’s “Almanag, is now ready, and may be obtained, free of cost, of druggists and general country dealers in all ‘parts of the United States and British Ameri- . ica, and indeed in every civilized portion of the Western Hemisphere. It combines, with the soundest practical ~ advice for the preservation and restoration of health, a large amount of interesting and amusing light reading, . and the calendar, astronomical calcu- ' lations, chronological items, &e., are | prépared with great care, and will be ' found entirely accurate.

- /LETTER FROM KANSAS. = - Eprror BANNER.—Dear Sir :—Having held our. peace so long that final1y we were reminded of the propriety of another communication by the X on the margin of the ever-welcome and-never-to-be-dispensed-with BAXNER, we hasten to insert, af least one item of interest to the editor—a greenDo | ‘We have had a most favorable season for all kinds of erops; and Kansas can boast of a wide range in that line, consisting ‘of all the cereals, cotton, ‘hemp, flax, sorghum, broomcorn, potatoes, castor beans and tobacco. We notice in the Chicago Inter-Occan that Kansas stands at the head in the yield of corn, being 42,5 bushel per acre.— Barton county is one of‘the best in the State, as is proven by the crop reports of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. 18,801 acresof fall wheat produced 876,020 bushéls, an" average of 20 bushels per acre; average yield of spring wheat, 19 bushels per acre; rye, 23 bushels per aere; corn, 35 bushels per acre ;and barley,2s bushels per acre. There are three shipping points in the: county, and together they have shipped over 200,000 bushels of wheat ‘since harvest, worth $170,000. Barton county is only seven years old, and ‘the forgoing shows that she is just-as ' prosperous as any eounty in the Union. 'The acreage sown this fall is fully 50 per cent. greater than that oflast year, ‘and the conidition of the crop at pres“ent i8:20 per cent. above an average.— With this. prospect in view, is it any wonder that we should advise our friends to come to Kansas, the grana“ ry of the West. ~+ | . '~ Business of all kinds 18 looking up too, and business men, stimulated by the prospect before them, are building and re-building, and adding to their already large stock of, merchandise; while those: who had formerly contracted debts are rapidly paying up, and adding improvements to their homesteads. . - ' ,

Our country, is as yet comparatively barren of forest trees, but experfence proves "that they can be readily and. successfully cultivated, and in a few years our broad praries will be interspersed . with ' groves of beautiful, and artfully located and trained trees. Fruit and ornamental trees are, also an assured success. The writer now has young apple trees, transplanted on the 26th of last March, that have made a-grawth of over four feet in height this season.. Grapes and ‘other small fruits also do well so far as tried. - Fences we have none at all, but hedges are now beginning to be introduced, and grow rapidly and will be the prevailing fence. - Wire fencing is also used to some extent farther gast.

. That Monster Jaw-Bone.. Goghen Times, Gl g Dr. Ira Packard, in writing to the Sturgis Journal in regard to a jawbone of some large animal recently found in Lagrange county, says: ' “I find the fossil bone ‘belonged to an extinct species, who lives only by its record as revealed in the rocks of past ages. It is known as the Dinothere or Dinotherium Giganteum, and is the largest animal of the mamma~ lia species, who lived in the middle tertiary age. 'lts length, when fully grown, is 18 to 20 feet, and. 10 to 12 feet high, weighing from 12 to 18 thousand pounds, and perhaps more. In its habits it is herbivorious, living on grasses and such succulent roots as he could dig up by the help of those two formidable tusks from -the bottom of shallow lagoons and lakes that then existed. = . “The two.things most remarkable in this animal, are two large tusks ‘proceeding from the front of the lower jaw and turning downwards, and the prolongation of the upper lip, which ends in a finger, like the trunk -of the elephant, and -serves him to gather and convey his food to his mouth. T B

' “His under jaw has two molar teeth, one on each side, with corresponding ones on the upper jaw with coniferous projections to fit in the hollows in the lower. = et ey

- “The above specimen is undoubtedly the best, if not the only one, ever discovered in the United States, and if the two tusks can be found to com-plete-the jaw, will undoubtedly bring a good price.” . : ; ~ Those of our readers who have not made geqlogy a study, may think it strange that at a period not very remote; geologically speaking, this continent was inhabited by animals of such an enormous sizé; yet the gquadrupad above described would be a mere pigmy by the side of the Z'itanosaurus montanus, whose bones were recently discovered in Colorado. This monster was some fifty or sixty. feet in length, and, when erect, at least thirty feet in height. It lived and moved upon the land, and fed upon the foliage of the mountain forests, portions of which are preserved with its remains. . This is the largest land animal yet discovered; and before its discovery,. geologists did not think it possible that so large and unwieldy a cieature could exist upon terta flrma. Imagine a beast of the length of a lot front, and as high as agood-sized two-story building; and then dream of it after eating a mince pie at ten o’clock:at night!

. /THE WOES OF THE PEOPLE. Able and Eloguent Speech of 6en. Tom | " Ewing in Favor of the Repeal of the ~ Resumption Aet. (Delivered;in the House of Representatives, Nov. Ly A Mr. Ewing (Dem., Ohio) said that it was characteristic of a popular Government that the people gave their exclusive thought to one leading subject. Before the war it was slavery; during’ the war, the maintanance of the Government; since the war, -how to govern the Southern States. Now the question of paramount interest was the question of debt and curreney.— It-would have been happy for the people if they had considered these questions earlier. They would have been saved, among other things, the passage of the act of repudiation and extortion of 1869, by whieh the contract on which $1,600,000,000 of the public debt ‘Bhad been made, was changed, to the detriment of tlie people, and to the advantage of the holders of public securities, without consideration, to a sum of not less than $500,000,000; and they would have been saved that stealthy and raseally act for the demonetization of silver and that crowning scheme of the money power for oppression of the peopie, the Resumption law. The bill before the House proposed simply to stop the further execution of the law, and to leave to the future changed condition which would then exist, after the industries of the country had revived, the whole consideration of the question as to the time and method of resumption. No ‘greater injury could be inflicted on a people by its Government than the reduction of the volume c¢f currency to which the business and values of the country were adjusted. No man could engage profitably in merchandise while the values which he was handling were falling. When the Resumption law was passed, the volume of currency in circulation was only $733,000,000, only $2.50 per capita more than 'was in circulation in 1860. - That act had put in the hands of capitalists’ the control of the industries of the country. Secretary Sherman, in 1868, had told the people of Ohio that the payment of United States bonds in coin, while on their face they were to be paid in lawful money, would be repudiation and extortion. Yet within six months afterwards, he had reported in the Senate that act of repudia'tion and extortion, falsely labelled. “An act to strengthen the public credit.” If it were possible to substitute $354,000,000 of gold for the greenback money, and if that gold would remain i in circulation there would be no very great. mischief done by the act further than the useless increase of the bonded debt to the amount of $354,000,000; but the trouble was that it was utterly impossible. Gold could not remain in circulation in'the present condition of the country, and every greenback redeemed was so mueh withdrawn from the effective currency. Before the greenback era, there never had been kept afloat in this country more than $214,000,000 of paper money with $285,000,000 of eoin, and now, with $733,000,000 of paper money, there was not $150,000,000 of gold in the .United States. Sihce 1860 the mines of this country had produced $1,257,000,000- of the precious metals, and yot there was not in the country threefifthg of the little volume of coin:in 1860. Where had all the gold and silver gone? 1t had gone to pay the debts of the country; and there was where would go all the coin that could be scraped togetherin the Treasury or banks. This was the great debtor nation of the world, No pation owed outside of its own borders half the amount which America owed. The annual drain of coin from this country was _frqm $175,000,000 to $250,000,000. How was that paid? Not by the balance:of trade; that bal-

ance for the last seven years had been $4,000,000 against this country. It was paid partly by shipping $56,000,000 a year of the precious metal, We are within thirteen months of resumption, with $7838,000,000 of paper money to be floated, and with less than $40,000,000 of accumulated gold in the -Treasury and the barks. =lf thiscountry were entirely free from debt, spe- | cie payment could not be refurned to without a contractign of cuirrency by at least one-half. Where were the gold and,silver to be got? Not in the [foreign markets. The mines of the country could not in twenty-five years furnish all that was needed, even if the gold and silver could be kept here. Whether this grand scheme of resumption was repealed now, or was forced on until popular indignation tore it to pieces, resumption woald have to be waited for until it became possible—until a volume of coin had been accumulated in the country. larger than ‘the volume of paper money. Equalization would not be resumption. Pa+ per money might be brought to par with gold, and still there would not. be resumption. It was not a question | whether the people woald want gold or not on resumption day: it was a question whether the Jim Fisks, the Jay Goulds, the bankers, the brokers, the imaporters, the savings banks would want it, and they certainly would want it faster than the Secretary of the Treasury would be able to give it to them, The English resumption in 1819 was not a safe precedent; there was a great difference in the conditions. -Ne American statesman | would be held excusable for forcing this country into that mad career from which they were warned so. p'ainly by English history. . Mr. Ewing’s hour having expired; Mr. Garfield meved that the time be extended. Objection was made by ‘Mr. Chittenden (Rep., N. Y.,) but the Speaker decided thaf, the objection | came too late. ot - Mr. Ewing pointed outl the depreciation of values, which he estimated at one-third of the whole. The Resumption law was a practical confiscation 1 of $3,500,000,000 of property. Threefourths of all classes of the people gﬁ' this country were debtors, and it w tlieir hard-earned accumulations: that " were being wrested from them by this robber law. The loss of the laboring clagses was $3,000,000 a day, or $900,-. 000,000 a year. The President of the Dayton . and Southeastern Railroad Company told him that hundreds of men had been offering to work on the | road for bread and. meat. Nothing for clothes; nothing for wives and children; nothing to lay up for winter; merely enough to keep the poor | human body that was doing the labor | able to exercise the necessary force.— “Oh, God! that bread should be so dear, and flesh gnd blood so cheap.” | {Sensation and applause.] The lawt | was not going to stop with that fall of values. The bottom had not been | erty and suffering, the practical con- | fiscation of property and the repudiaption of a larg f the public debt, [Ho appealed mfﬂw&%“* | Had they not heard enough to warn Gt iSI @%g@w m%‘?ﬁfm}m»% e awer k%" gv‘; g S Y *’vg s gd,*

hoping to lie down on the grass and gk il froeh i ot o | cool resting place. The thing has been: pushed just as.far as it will bear.— | What are we to gain by inflicting such | losses: on our industry and labor? ‘What is the great-advantage to be accomplished? It costs this country,in the loss of productive industries, in the unjust transfer of wealth from the | debtor to the creditor, in the unjust increase of taxation, in the loss of labor, more than all the wastes of the rebellion combined; and what are we to gain by adding to the enormous sacrifices of the rebellion a self-inflicted sacrifice evenmore stupendous? Why, we are to get back the banking system which existed before the war, modified a little, a little Lotter in one regpect then the o'd State bank system, but a system the very genius of which will be panic; a system which, in the very nature of things, cannot be stable. * The law for .the payment of the bonds in gold was an act of repudiation of the $2,000,000,000 of contracts whose values rested on it. The repeal of the law, the putting back of those contracts to what was the anderstanding of the parties at the time they were made, was demanded by every counsideration of individual in‘terest and of national houor. If the repeal of that law were repudiation, the hapless sufferers would be not the people at large, but. the men probably who had instigated the passage-of the law. He quoted Edmund Burke to the effect that it is to the property of the citizen, anil not to the demands of the creditor of the State, that the original faith of the nation is given, and that the claim of the citizen is prior in time, paramouut in title, and superiorin equity. In conclusion he said* =No greater question than this was ever presented to an American Congress for its action. It touches the happiness, the prosperity, the future of three-fourths of the men, womeén and children in thisland. Thousands of men have beeén driven by the Resumption law to ipsanity or suicide, ‘Hundreds of thous: nds have been cast down from competency to poverty.— Millions have been deprived of employment for their labor, on which Tests the dependence of their families’ It is now too late to right that wrong but we may avert any greater wrong from them and other millions by prompt action on the part of Congress and the President. -I do not appeal to that money power which seeks its fortune over the wrecked happiness and accumvlations of its fellow men, a power to which cur unbappy civil war gave birth; which has grown so enormous through unjust financial legislation, which now bestrides our narrow world like a colossus, which subsidizes the press, which captures statesmen and partfies, and makes them its subservient tools, which hoands down and vilifies- every public man who dares to raise his vo'ce against it.—, That power, in the lush and arrogance of its enormous and ill-gotten gains,’ has a heart of stone, not to be touched by human sympathy and compassion. I appeal to th 2 masses, to their faithful representatives (I thank God) of both political parties on this floor.— The true aim of government is the greatest good to the greatest number, and whoever, by legislation or otherwise, changes the value of a contract, is as accursed as he who removes his reighbors’ -landmarks. For twelve years past the financial legislation of this country has been dictated, one would think, in Lombard street or Wall street, and the people have been 'Phiey - have suffered. the fate of .the plundered by every fresh enactment. giant Gulliver when tied down by the Liliputians.: Thank God they are now about to rigse; to burst the bonds which their petty foes have fastened upon them ‘while sleeping, and to ~walk abroad again in their own majesty.

One of these is Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, purely a preparation of six of some of the best Qils that are known, each possessing virtues of its 1 own. Scientific pliysicians know that medicines may be formed of several ingredients in certain fixed proportions of greater power, and the producing effects which could never result from the use of any one of them, or in different combinations. Thus in the preparation of this Oil a chemical %ange takes' place, forming a compétind which could not by any possibility be made from any other combination or proportions' of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients, and entirely different from any-, thing ever: béfore made, one which produces the most astonishing results, and having a wider range of application than any medicine ever before discovered, It contains no alecghol or other volatile liqaiids, consequertly loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas with other preparas. tions nearly all the alcohol. is lost in that way, and you get only the small quantity of Oils which' they may contain. o e
