The Gazette is the only news paper in Terre Hante that takes and publishes the lull Associated Pre** news report. It receives and publishes every word that is sent to ttie metropolitan dailies of the West.
THE Clinton Exponent, which in passing we may a8 well remark is the best paper that comes to our exchange table, has the following truthful and complimentary notice of the GAZETTE. It saye: "The Terre Haute GAZETTE has taken our aivioa SQ! is apidly "branching out." Its opportune appearance in the evening when all people wish to read, its bright and cheerful columnsf heavily freighted with news, carefully and intelligently edited, and always accurate always complete and always reliable, have won for it in the estimation of the people in and around Terre Haute a splendid reputation. It is impossible to find a home in Terre Haute wherein its daily does not circulate aud its weekly paper circulates all over Virmillion county In its editorial management the GA-' ZETTE is the most fearless, honest, incorruptible, and able in the State. The immense amount of news the GAZETTE publishes and its cheap prices defy competition."
Greenbacks and Blnckbacks. Much has been said, of late, upon the enormous profits of national banks. All the epithets which the language can afford have been hurl ed at them. Whether or not the national bank system is the best that can be devised, it is not our purpose to discuss. There are advantages and disadvantages about the system. One thing is, however, certain, and that is that there is no very great profit to the bankers. It might, perhaps, be a sufficient evidence of this fact that under the law, which allows any number to be star ted, very few persons have started them, and that very many more have either stopped entirely, or else reduced the amount of their currency. But the case admits of direct demonstration, and this i9 the proof: An association has, we will suppose, $117,000 in greenbacks, and the question arises whether to lend them to the public at current bank rates or inveBt them in bonds and
issue
notes thereon, under the free

at
law of last winter. If the
bank rate averages 10 per cent, through the year, the $117,000, in greenbacks, loaned to the public, directly, will produce an increase of $11,700. If they invest under the currency act, they will purchase $100,000 in 5.per cent. United States bonds, yielding an income of $5,000 in gold, or about $5,750 in currency,
the rate for gold which has ruled for the past few months. When the association deposits the bonds in Washington, it receives in exchange $90,000 in bank notes which it can lend at current bank rates, realizing au income of $9,000 therefrom. Apparently' therefore thi lat!er mode of investment will produce an annual income of $14,750, against $11,700 arising from the direct lending of the greenbacks to the public. There is an apparent inducement to the amount of $3,050 to the year.to invest under the banking law. But from this must be deducted $900 tax on circulation, the cost of redeeming the note issues in Washfngton, the 15 per 5ent. reserve of circulation hich cannot be loaned, and various other items which entirely absorb the excess of profits derivable from issuing notes instead of loaning the greenbacks directly.
This fact, however, does not warrant the inference which is frequently made that our banking system is perfection, and that it is impossible to provide a better currency than national bank notes. On the contrary, it shows that the system is so contrived as to make the supply of currency dependent on the profitableness of making note issues, and not at all on the requirements of business. As the profitableness of making note issues depends upon the action of Congress, the volume of currency is liable to be changed by legislation friendly or unfriendly to the bank», A Congress of Kelleys, Logans, and Oglesby's are capable of anything on finances. A Congress composed of such men (additional greenback issues being out of the question), would be very likely to
amend the banking act so as to make it exceedingly profitable to issue notes. It might repeal the tax on circulation, or it might authorize the issue of an amount of notes equal to the market value of the securities, or it might do both of these things. If it should, the inducement to issue notes would be
equal
to the whole
amount of the interest on the bonds deposi'ed as security, and under such an inducement there can be no doubt that the issues would become enormously expanded, and, of course, depreciated.
On the other band, a Congress unfriendly to the bankingsystem might pursue the opposite course increasing the tax on circulation, re ducing the amount of notes to issued on a given amount of bonds or otherwise impairing the profits on circulation, so as to force the banks to retire their notes rapidly, and thus produce a real scarcity of circulatiug medium to the great iDjury of the public.
of
be
Such a system as this—a system liable to be changed at any time by Congressional action—cannot be pronounced perfect. What the country wants is a stable currency—a currenwhich is not liable to be suddenly changed in volume by Congressiona action, a currency, the supply of which will be regulated not by acts of Congress, but by the laws of trade
Friends of the system say, in its behalf, that the national bank currency is uniform, that it is perfectly secured, that it circulates freely throughout the country, no matter where it may be issued, and that it is, in all respects, far superior to the currency we had in former times, when voluminous "detectors" issued monthly were not sufficient to protect business public, and when the notes in circulation had about as many values as there were banks. This is all true enough, but it does not necessarily follow that the existing system is the best conceivable. That which is better than something else is not necessarily the best of all. An exclusively greenback currency would be even more dangerous than a currency consisting of bank notes exclusively, because it would be more completely subject to the caprices of Congress, and more' liable to sudden changes of volume to meet somebody's idea of business requirements, or party necessity.

Richard Armstrong, of the St. Charles, goes this evening to Indianapolis, where he was formerly connected with the Occidental Hotel. He goes to visit his friends, Mike Watkins and Al. Blake, of that place.
The new drawing room of the National Hotel will be furnished, ready for the use of guests, before the close of the comiag week, and when it is finished, it is safe to say that no hotel in Terre Haute, will be able to boast a finer one. The furniture will be entirely new. The walls will be hung with oil paintings, and other ornaments. The GAZETTEER had the pleasure of inspecting one of the paintings intended for this room, a superb marine view on canvass, three or feet in length, and three in width, encased in an elegant, heavy frame. The fact that the commercial travelers regard this hotel as their headquarters in this city, is attested to the fact that they choose it as their place of meeting when business calls them together. The proprietors have reason to congratulate themselves on their success iu hotei keeping.
There is no more appropriate article for a gift at Christmas time, or any other time, than a handsome book. At W. W. Byers' you will find as complete an assortment of books on all themes as can be found in the city. Main street, near Sixth.
Eugene Bruning, the proprietor of the popular French Restaurant, is doing a magnificent business. His restaurant is eituated on Main street, between Fifth and Sixth, and is the one place in the city where a good meal can be gotten without fail. His large and growing patronage is aa index of the character of his place.
Not many weeks intervene between the present and the joyous, happy Christmas time. The time when your aunt and uncle and sweetheart and all those pleasant people pour out the wealth of their affection in all sorts of presents. At such a time you might throw out a hint to them that of all the places in Terre Haute to buy Ohristmas presents, Trask' Marble Palace is the best. Jewels rich and rare, silver ware, plated ware, and a thousand and one other things suitable lor Christmas presents, can be found at Trask's.
Those oysters which are sold by E. W. Johnson are decidedly good. Good, we say, for to define true goodness, what is it but to be nothing else but good, and those oysters are good, as everybody will tell you who knows anything about the matcer. They are good to stew, they are pood to fry, they are good to roast, or if you are in a hurry about it, they are good without any cooking whatever.
The Bloomington road mills, owned and conducted by Messrs, Almy «fc Harris, are in a ilourishiug condition, as the many teams which come and go from the naill bear witness. The flour and feed made at this mill are of a su. perior quality. The millers engaged are all men of long experience in their business, and as a consequence, the flour, feed, etc., turned out by this establishment can be nothing else than excellent. Call at the mill, Poplar street, near the E. & C. Railroad, and try the quality of their goods.
In these times when we are constantly reading of death by that horrible dissease, milk sickness, it is well to be careful in purchasing beef. Always buy of a careful, experienced man like Phil. Wyatt and there is no danger. Wyatt is a thorough judge in such matters, and he never petmits a beef to be killed in his slaughter house until be has made thorough examination, and is convinced that the animal's health is perfect. Wyatt's market, on Sixth street, opposite the postoffice, presents a busy scene each day as the hundreds come and go with their baskets.
Hugo Duenweg has opened his stock of toys, and placed them in the room formerly occupied by Badgelv Bros., on Fourth street. The stock comprises some of the latest novelties for Christmas presents. Parents should inspect tbem before purchasing elsewhere. There is nothing like a toy to occupy the mind and please the fancy of children, aud their desire in this regard should be gratified.
It is an undoubted fact, that a man who does a very large business can afford to sell goods at a much smaller profit than those who sell only a small amount each day. Five per cent, profit on two hundred dollars worth of goods, amounts to just as muph as ten per cent, profit on one hundrad dollars worth of goods. This is the secret of the low prices which rule at the Wbite Front Grocery, which is presided over by R. W. Rippetoe. Rippetoe keeps one of the largest stocks in the State, and as he does a tremenduous business, he is able to sell groceries, produce, Ac., at a much smaller profit than bis smaller competitors can oflerd. The White Front has the reputation of sending out none but the best of every thing. Groceries, produce, vegetables fruit, &c., can be found in all quantities, at Rippetoe's.
Young man, don't you. know that your health depends on what you eat? It does. There is no mistake about that. It depends somewhat on the quantity, but it depends a great deal on the quality. Now if you happen to board at the St. Charles Hotel there can be no doubt about your good health, But if you don't board there, there is some question about it. If you board at one of those so-called, cheap boarding houses, where they feed you on hash, stale bread, tough meat, and that sort of thing, why you are sure to die some day. You will, therefore, prolong your life, improve your health, and make yourself gener ally happy, by going at once to the St_ Charles and making a contract lor board, when you will be surprised to learn that it costs no more to live well than to live like a Chinaman.
Smithers has been regretting ever since last spring that hedin't take his Araminta out riding when she asked him to do so. He thought then that it would cost a fortune, but he has been investigating the matter since and he has arrived at the conclusion that at the prices charged by Burgan fc Milligan, every young man can afford to take his sweet heart out for a drive semi occasionally. Burgan & Milligan keep a first-class stable, at their wellknown stand, Third, between Qhio and Walnut.
Those who have a taste for music will be delighted with a visit to, and a stroll through, Kissner's Palace of Music. The variety of musical instruments is so great that more space than can be found in any newspaper would be required to give anything like a description of all. Kissner keeps on hand. Every kind of musical instrument, from a Jew's harp to a Grand pianc. Both those famous instruments, the Knabe and the Steck pianos can be found at this establishment, Mr. Kis£ ier says the agents of other pianos may talk until they are hoarse about their instruments being the finest in the world, and all that, he and his patrons know better. He is satisfied that the Knabe and the Steck have no superior in any clime, and a fair investigation will convince any cne thas such is the case. He refers to the thousands of people in this city and vicinity to whom he has sold musical instruments, to sustain him in the assertion
that he sells none but the best. Those who are able to purchase a piano or an organ and refuse to do so, are very foolish. Nothiag adds so to the cheer and comfort of a home as the joyous, riuging tones of a piano or the solt, mellow notes of aa organ or melodeon. Now, those of you who have neither of these, if you are able to purchase, go at once to the Palace of Music, and consult Mr. Kissner on the subject. He will be able to give you a great deal more information on the subject than we can.
