Where is the Remedy? E\ION, Ohio, July 2od. 1877. JJeai Sn Permit me to trouble you further. It is your habit to study pretty thoroughly every ques tion about which you are called upon to express .in opinion, and I have found your judgments to be generally sound. Now I am desirous to know hat, in your opinion, has caused the existing hard times, and where we are to look for a remedy. Has the resumption act anything to do with it And do you fafor an expincion of the currency? Our coirespondent has our thanks for his good opinion of our judgment, al though wo know that we often, unfor tunately, fall into eirois, even after hav ing carefully analyzed the matter sub mitted to us. The questions he pio pounds are very important ones jiibt at this time, and ought not to be anew ered hastily. The reply should be accom panied with a demonstration in each in which will make its truth palpa ble. As we have uot now room for this, we can only piomise him that wc will take an early occasion to mswor him as his queries deserve We may say now, however, that we do believe that th*» resumption act and all preceding and subsequent forced con tractions and expansions of the currency medium has had a good deal to do with causing existing hard times. We be heve that the true remedy lies in the" adoptioa of a fnnncial system which will afford a currency susceptible of au tomatic contractions and expansions, when these are respectively demanded by the wants of trade, We gar? not whether the. lneaium be gold, silver, nickel, copper, ifon, parchment, or pa. per, or nny or all of these, if it is so conditioned that its volume cannot be itethiced or increased by combinations whether these be associated as bankl ers, brokers, merchants, or under any other name. Contrictions by hoarding cannot, peihaps, be avoided, but wheu the financial system permits hoarding which may not be attended with loss of interest, it encourages constant fluctua tions in the volume of the currency and in consequence, incessant variations in its relative value, which mttst, of course, work continual disturbances in values all kinds of property and merchan dise and render all investments in in dustrial enterprises unsafe, because of their uncertainty. Our present curren cy system places it in the power of a few men to contract and expand the volume of currency at will, and they use this means to enrich themselves at the expense of all other members of thesuccessful community. In this we *hink lies the evil. But we will endeavor to explain the subject fully hereafter, as de mands discussion. A Plow TVte.1. On la«t Saturday an interesting trial of Sulky plows took place on the farm of Mr. Philip Storkle, en Featherstone prairie. TJltire were a number of farm ers present, notwithstanding the busy season, and the merits of two of the im plements, at letrifc, were pretty thorugh ly tested rtnd fullly discussed. There were fodr different make of plows tued, to-Wit, the "Wier plow," for which Mr HowarU'Libb^y, of Featherstone, is agent the "Crosby plow," made by Messrs. Cuthtriings, Noble & Dodge, at Dixon, 111., Mr C. Betcher, of lied *Wing, agent, the "Garden City plow," made by Messrs Furst Biadley, at Chicago, 111., for which Mr. C. Betcher is, also agent, and the "Skinner plow" Mr. Ed ward L. Baker, of Red Wing, agent The trial demonstrated fully that these are all first-rate plows, and it was difficult to decide in favor of any one Of them. The "Garden City" and the-go^d "Weir" were foi tunate in being repre sented on the ground by those with whom they ere favorites, and, there fore, received greater attention than the other two. The "Crosby, it is true had its agent on the ground, but .t was rot provided with 1 special te un and but little work was performed with it, and the "Skinnei" ib like a a pocr boy at a frolic, whatever attention was bestowed upon it coming from the cham pions of its rivals For these reasons, the contest was really between the "Weir" and "Garden City," ..nd ,t is hardly fair to the othei that they sho^d be mentioned as competing for the de* cision. Again, there was no organiza tion of the spectators,, no committee, no vote iken, and, hence, it cannot be certainly declared which way the major ity decided. As 1 ir as we could user tain the opinion of those present was nearl} equally divided, but we cannot pretend to siy in which dnectiontie majority inchned. The onl/ conclusion, then, that we can come to that the trial WJMI deci dedly incettclusive as to the compara tive mertts of the plows, but conclusive that they are all good. The politician who wishes to be in this country for the next few years, must study the subject of finance thoroughly, for the people will not continue to support those who favor a policy which leads only to general bankruptcy and rui.i. And, in order to prevent the management of public af fairs falling into the hands of incompe tent charlatans, who will seek to attain honors and distinction by catering to "the worst passions of the people, it be hoovesjevery intelligent citizen to tinder stand thoroughly the great question of the day and insist upon the adoption of correct principles. What tlte country now has is a monetary ?ysle«n which tends to concentrate the wealth in the hands of the few, what it needs is a' monetary system wliton will tend to dif fuse the wealth among the many. This is not communism, and those who are so fond of denouncing, a communistic, every argument that is nrged for the re lief of the people, seem to o\erlook the faot tihat, in their zeal, they are advoca ting an oligarchy Inch is as odious to sensible poople as the most radical so cialism. It is the mean between these ectrciwefl that we need to strike. IN UNION STRENGTH-IN KNOWLEDGE POWER. Our own opinion in the preni ses would be of no valu*1 weie we to give it, inismuch as we are not a practica] farmer and might overlook important mcuts. We think, however, that we are justified In saying that all the plows theie were excellent, and one could hardly go amiss in purchasing any one of them. If a farmer should iuY fl Weir plow it is not likely that "he would1 ev^r r^giefc it, and the sarne would, no doubt, be tfie case ,f he should purchase a "Gaiden City,'' "Crosby," or "Skinner." An attempt /Hade to te&t the drafts, but we do hot believe that the test was sufficiently fair to justify a conclusion based UPbn it, and to^this reason: the. dyftOmome ter used placed the team about eight inches farther fiom the plow than the ordinary draft. The effect was of course to make the dlftffc heavier. The fact that the plows aie hung differently to the frames forbids the conclusion that all were affected alike by this extewtar, as Will be readily understood, aiid tance, A test which alters the positton of the team relatively.to the draft is really no test. In this case, too, \n team was considerably taller i|wi the other, a fact which would iqnLally affect the accuracy of the t«st.^F —The Wier plow is admitted to he as iw the best, if not the best.
