CHEAP MONEY AND HOW TO OB
TAIN IT.
THE WAY TO FORCE THE BALANCE OF
TRADE IN FAVOR OF THE UNITED
STATES—SHIP BUILDING, ETC.
Extract from n Letter of Hornce
11. Out. I-'irnt liii-I r.'.'.lilviit of
the Nnlloiinl Lnbor lm to Hon.
I'ornnndo Wood. Dec-ember 7, 1572.
The great want of this country to-day is
cheap money, a low rato of interest to
those obliged to borrow for all tho devel
oping industries of tho land. You know
England pays on her consols three per
cent, interest, and has thirty-seven hun
dred millions in these consols, held almost
exclusively by her citizens at home, af
fording a circulating medium, being read
ily convertible into maney and also into
consols, thus affording almost an unlimited
circulation, supplying every want of the
people for money at very low rates ; while '
this nation has only such quantity of cir- i
culating medium left to it as will keep the
rate ot interest, which the present very ,
limited developing interests of the country t
must pay, at from twelve to one hundred '
per cent. To enable us to produce fabrics -
to compete with other nations and find a
foreign maiket, we require such an abun
dance of money, accessible to the people, |
as will bring the rate of interest nearly as
cheap as in Great Britain. We contend
that the government has no right to deny
her industrial citizens the use of money at
as cheap rates, as do the governments of
those countries who compete with us in .
the markets of the world.
To-day no civilized nation bases its cir
culation upon gold alone, and tho old Ben
ton Bullion age is past beyond return.
We should have, to make us equal to
(ireat Britain in financial advantage, at
least $4,000,000,000 of United States bonds
drawing only thico por cent., with the :
ability to convert them at will into smaller
non-interest bearing greenbacks— not bank '.
notes. Under this system we might easily *
open our ports to free trade with all the
world, and this cheap and abundant money
would stimulate production and then And
in foreign markets an outlet for our sur
plus productions, asdo England, Germany, "
France, and all our intelligent competing
nations. Nations are competitors as well
as individuals, and if one nation has a sys
tem of production twenty per cent, cheap, r
than another, then she can supply the :
world. Our tariff laws can reach no •
further than the territory of our own na
tion. Here then is just our difficulty.
The rate of interest which the legal cur- c
rency of a nation bears determines the
value in that nation of everything meas
ured by that money—bonds are in fact a 0
currency. To illustrate: Before our late
war a house and lot was saleable at say,
$G,500, which to-day sells for $14,000, and
could be originally mortgaged for two-thirds
its value. To-day tho same house will not
accepted by a money-lender as security .
for much over §G,OOO. What is the cause "
ol this change?
THE MONEY LENDER
before the war, was glad to take 0 per
cent, and even then had to pay 1J state
tax on his bond and mortgage and the idle
money thus secured and invested to him
netted only 4J per cent. To-day under
the operation of our existing system his *
money invested in United States bonds at r
C per cent, and free from taxation, gives in s
effect 9 per cent., or double that which J
he could receive under our old system, i
besides bonds are in effect ready money »
convertible in an hour, while a mortgage *
might tako six months to foreclose, hence v
the advantage is not alo.ia in the double «
rate. s
Tho average annual increase of the na
tion's wealth has never reached 3". per 1
cent. No nation on earth ever increased c
its wealth as much as 4 per cent. Tho -
casi of the horse illustrates tho whole.
The rate of interest determines tho value,
and government determines the rate of in
terest.
It is this fatal financial system, born of (
war, which deprives the people to-day of
their necessary tools (money) to work
with, and the whole country of its right- '
ful inheritence of prosperity.
It is claimed that three to four hundred
millions of the national debt has been paid
since the war, under Grant.
We claim this is in one sense a great £
mistake, for at the close of the war, wo \
did not owe abroad five hundred million J
dollars, whereas their claims of every kind
against us tc-day exceeds $2,500,000,000. '
This is getting out of debt with a ven
geance ; pay off three or four hundred
millions at one end and add five times as
much at the other end.
And yet great as this ♦ncreasing debt is .
there would be nothing alarming in its
aggregate if there was any hope of a
change of policy,to give promise of arresting t
the evil. There is (
ONLY ONE WAY OUT OF THIS, \
that is, in cheap money, plentiful, to st-ns- J
ulate production, and over production, and j
forcing us to sell abroad our surplus, and
at as cheap rate as our competitors, and '
thus turn tho balance of trade in our favor, j
and stop this increase of debt. Here is both '
tho work, the mission, and the duty of the
honest Democracy. There is no other way
to save our country and restore a republic,
now destroyed and swallowed up in
the merciless embrace of a money
oligarchy. The financial platform of the
labor reformers will accomplish just this
result. It is also a practical balance wheel,
which in its very nature prevents fluctua
tion in values, for no matter how much the
country called for, it could uso no more :
than to keep the rate of interest to 3 per j
cent, or 3 G5-100. If the Government
wanted specie, buy it as it would timber to
build a ship, until the balance of trade
brought it back. It is and urns',, in the
nature of things, be a fatal policy which
operates to send all of gold, or any other
commodity, out of a country. Let us,
therefore, stimulate production and send
products abroad to pay for what wo want
to import.
How Often Should Cows be Milked t
The following from tho Irish Farmers'
Gazette is worthy of consideration : ]
Regularity in the milking of cows is of
as much importance as regularity in feed
ing them. In a state of nature, the cow is
relieved of its milk a great many times
each day. A calf allowed to remain with
its mother will help itself seven or eight
times a day. Under such circumstan
ces, the udder of the cow will remain
small, and if allowed to retain the milk
secreted during twelve hours, feverish
symptoms are likely to be produced.
The practice of milking cows
more than twice in Ihe twenty-four hours
causes the capacity of the udder to be in
creased, and probably helps in maintaining
the lacteal secretion long after pregnancy
has taken place. When, however, by an
artificial system, the cow has been enabled
to retain her milk without inconvenience
for twelve hours or so, she ought to be
milked regularly every day at the same
hour. When the time for milking arrives,
the udder usually becomes distended to its
utmost capacity, and if it be not speedily
removed tha animal suffers considera
ble pain. Cases of fever, the result
of allowing animals to remain too
long unmilked, are, indeed, by
no means of unfrequent occurrence. It I
is especially necessary to attend to this
i point for some days after tho animal has
: Drought forth its young, for during that I
period very little irritation of the lacteal
! organs is likely to bring on that most latal
ol maladies, puerperal fever. If milking !
1 be too long delayed, nature will try to
help the poor animal. An absorption of
, milk into the blood will to some extent
take place, and that remains in the
udder will become deteriorated. When
neglect to milk a cow at the regular time is
i repeated several times, tho secretion of tl t
* fluid is permanently checked, and iheie
aro many cases where by such neglect an
animal has become dry in less than a
month.

cannot be considered.

m-mber of v firm, wheie a company offers,

the I-Apartment, to write out m r nJI ihe sum of
their bids, and to retstu copies of them,
Al.**■■*-. bids should not be submitied; nor

contractors and bidders. (Act ef June 8.1872,
section 249.)
'6 The bid shou-d be sealed, superscribed

the mail shall be "awarded to the lowest bidder

of sucn transportation than may be necessary to
provide for 'he due celerty, certainty and secu
rity thereof" Under this law bids that p'Opose
to transport the mails with "celerity, certainty,
and security," having b*tsn decided to be the, only
legal bids, a: c c»n*trued as providing for the m*
tire mail, however large, and whatever may be the
mode of conveyance necessary to insure ._-_? *cc
lerity, certaiidq, and security." and have the pref
erence, over all others, and no others are consid
ered, except for steamboat routes.
19. A modification of a bid in any of its essen
tial terms Is tantamount to a new bid, and can
not be received, so as to interfere with regular
competition. Makinst; anew bid, with guarantee
and certificate, is the only way to modify a pre
vious bid.
2'>. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify
to tho sufficiency of guarantors without knowing
that they are pe.sons of sufficient responsibility.
(See section 247, act of June B,lS7__) They must
notsign the certificate until the sura of the bid Is
inserted* and the bid and guarantee are signed
by the bidder and (two) guarantors ; a disregard
of this instruction by postmasters willsitbj£<£them
to immediate removal, and to severe penalties*
Postmasters are also liable to dismissal from
office for acting as agents of contractors or bid
ders, with or without compensation, in any busi
ness, matter, or thing, relating to the mail ser
vice. They are the trusted agents of the Depart
ment, and cannot consistently act In both capa
cities
21. All bidders, guarantors, and sureties are :
distinctly notified that on a failure to enter into
or perform the contracts for the service proposed
tor in the accepted bids, their legal liabilities will
be enforced against them.
22 Pre-ent contractors, and persons known
at the Department, must, eqmilly with others,
procure gurantors and certificates of their suffi
ciency frubstamlallv in the forms above pre
scribed. Tho certificate of sufiiciency must be '
signed by a postmaster. ,
