The soil best adapted to tho wheat plant
is found on uplands, and is known by hav
ing a. clear red clay subsoil. -VI 1 soils will
produce wheat j but all soils will not, nor
can they bo made to, produco good grain or
remunerative crops. Lowlands, for in
stance, having too much alluvium and
humidity, almost always fail in bringing
wheat to maturity. A surplus of straw food
and moisture iu tho atmosphere builds the
straw up, but fails to develop the grain.
Rust invariably follows nnd "swivels tho
grain; then both aro lot.

tho fact that I havo tried to mako their
home pleasant. I havo furnished them
with attractiveand useful reading) and when
night comes, and the day's work is ended,
Instead of running with other boys to the
railroad station and adjoining towus, they
gather around tho great lamp and becomo
interested in their books and iapers."

Central ltallroad of New Jersey.
o are glad to learn that tho reconstruc
tion of tho Central Railroad Company of
New Jersey has progressed so far that tho
committee in chargo of tho schemo regard
its success as assured, and are considering
the remaining measures necessary to take
tho company out of tho hands of its Rcclev
cr and restore it to tliosoof the stockholders.
This is encouraging news and will bo most
welcome to many of our readers interested
in the company. If it shall provo true, it
will bo ono of few companies ever escaping
from the hands of a Recicvcr to tliosoof the
shareholders. Tho trustees selected for tho
new funded mortgage bonds are John S,
Kennedy, J. Edgar Johnson nnd J. D. Ver-
milye. John Taylor Johnston has many
friends who desire to see him replaced in
his old position as President of tho company;
but, on tho other hand, a largo number of
the stock and bondholders, mindful of their
unfurtunato cxwrienco under tho manage
ment of Mr. Johnston and his former fellow
ilircctors. aro advocatinir n ceneral chance.
They say that tho present Reeiever, F. S.
uawrop, lias ueeu so sansiactory to them In
the administration of their Property that
they would bo glad to have him accept the
a residency, wiin a new uoaru oi uirectors
who would act in harmony with him. As
the election of directors lias heretofore taken
placo in May, the question will probably
soon coma Up for decision.

Shall We Have More Paper Money 1
Editor Carbon Advocatk: In tho Shen
andoah ZTecm'nj Herald, of May 4, 1 noticed
an attempt to answer tho Philadelphia Ji'c
cord in rcforcuco to "how will wo get tho
money aftcrthogovcrnmcntpriiitsit." U
oii the Intelligent, thinking reader I do tint
think It made much of an impression; but
It may havo mislead some. Tho Herald
says i "An increno in tho volumo of money
will create an increased demand for labor,"
and that tho contraction of tho volumo of
currency in the past ten years is tho primary
cause of tho industrial stagnation. Tho
writer docs Hot see where the Herald has
proven that an increase In the volumo of tho
currency will create nn increased demand
for labor, and doesn't think that anyone am
prove It. Upon tho contraction of tho cur
rency wo can not truthfully lav the blamo
of tho present hard times. "When wo had
plenty of Pajier money, property was valu
able, tho demand for labor good, nnd wages
high," says the somo paper. I suppose thot
tho time when wo had plenty of paper
money was during tho late civil war. Tho
demand for labor then win good becauso
hundreds of thousands of mechanics were
taken from workshops and put into tho
armies, nnd also for the reason that tho tarilf
was higher than now. We then patronized
home industries. Our money now is what
it should bo i gold, silver and greenback

1 will try to answer this question. Becauso
paper money Is more conveniently handled
than hard money. Tho value of nnner
money is only conventional. A gold dollar
or a silver dollar has intrinsic value. Paper
mum-- unit is not reueemaoio in gom or sil
ver is worthless. Our own history proves it.
Franco is more prosperous than somo conn.
tries, not becauso of what paper money sho
may have, but for tho reason that sho fosters
her commercial interests better than some
other nations. I think that, as tho business
of the country can be transacted with the
present amount of paper money, we want

T11K PLATFORM.
First. That it is uncompromisingly oppos
ed to freo trade, in whatever disguiso pre
sented, unchangingly dovoted to homo in
dustry, and hereby avows its special and
direct hostility to tho Tariff bill now pend
ing in Congress, tho 6amo being in the
interest of importers and foreign manufac
turers, nlul iu opposition to American labor.
Scooml. That labor boinir the
of national wealth, the prosperity of tho
jiuuuu inusi. iicjieuu upon ino extent to
which labor is protected and employed, and
that our Government of tho peonlc. should
endeavor to promote by nil proper means
tho commercial and Industrial interests of
the nation, that labor and capital may both
be profitably employed.
third. Tho Ami
ncricim mmiiiMm .lm,i1.l
be fostered and homo cnterpriso ileVcloicd
by tho National Government, to tho end
tliat our manufacturing, mining, agricultur
al and industrial interests may llourish, our
licoplo find employment, and the country
bo restored to permanent prosperity.
Fourth. That tho public lands ficlnm. to
tho people, but should bo reserved exclusive
ly for actual setters, so that tho industrious
poor may bo encouraged and aided to enter
upon and occupy tliein.
Fifth. That wo aro now. as ever, onnosed
to the payment of claims from the Nutioual
Treasury to thoso lately engaged in or sym
pathizing with tho rebellion; no conqueror
should bo forced to pay indemnity to tho
conquered, and the presentation of bills de
manding over $300,000,000 at tho present
session of a Democratic House is a warning
to the country of the cost and dangerof retain
ing in power a jmrty whoso chier aim is to
make reprisals on tho taxpayers for losses
which the crlmo of treason brought Upon
tho Southern people.
Sixth. That wo vicwwithalarmthogrow
ing depression of many of tho lending trade
interests of tho State and country, resulting
largely, it is believed, from tmialr advan
laces and discriminatine rates of freli-ht
and traiisiortation privileges given by many
of the transjiortatloii companies of tho Stato
and country to n favored few In thn nm.
judico of our general producing Interests,
mm mis wjiiveiiuoii earnestly recommends
tho enactment of such laws by tho Stato and
National Legislatures as will correct this
growing evil.
Seventh. That tho Southern Republicans,
wliito nnd colored, have our earnest sym
pathy in the unequal contest to which they
aro subjected for civil liberty and the main
tenance of their constitutional privileges,
and that, in tho interests of their guaran
tied rights, wo demand from tho Ucneral
Government for them nn coual and fair bal
lot, and that equality before the law which
should bo tho boast of every Government.
