OU and AffC, for November, has a readable article upon Money, placed like an exclamation point after several, articles written from the standpoint of the Labor Reformer, the IJanker and the Manufac turer, which may be considered as the view of the subject from an editorial and transcendental point 4ol observation." The article being written by the editor. Rev. Edward E Hale, may be said to embody the Religious aspect of the sub ject also. We extract : Money real money, to day, within the business world, as a whole) is cold or sil ver. Nothing else is real mouey every where. Currency is a convenient name for that mooey, or that substitute for it, which Jloics, like currents, throughout the com munity, within a single nation, and serves to transact the daily business of exchang ing all sorts of values within that nation. Money, therefore, is the currency of the world, by this deGoitu n. The name money is usually applied, for shortness, both to specie and to bank notesthat is, to currcucy also; and the practice has caused a confusion in some minds, where it is found that bank notes and specie arc equally reckoned money. Paper money will jcrvc exactly the pur poses of srecie only on one condition that the bidder of it can get specie for it on demand. This condition is subject to modifications. Pataiotism has served in stead of gold for a time, but has never prevented paper from becoming worth less in a little while, if specie could not be had for it. Mutual confidence is far less efficient than patriotism. An agree ment may be imagined by all the people that there need uot be any gold at all in the United States; but that "scrip" like our present paper small change, and bills lile our "greenbacks," should be used a tl.ey are now. but without any prospect or purpose of gold ever being asked or iven for them. Rut this is only an imagination, because no approach to unanimity, if even a majority, could, as things are, be secured for it. And secondly, it is a melancholy fact, that ncn have, not so much faith in each oiber's honesty, or wisdom eithpr, as would be necessary to support such a I 'an. The rc.i-on why gold and silver are chosen fr money arc plain ; they have il c qualities (or it namely : beauty and i.scfuiiiess, divisibility and consolidability without change of quality, incorrupti- ility, costlines", and steadiness of alue. I'iamond cannot be suitably diviJcd and united, and is not useful enough. Iron is too cheap and too corruptible. Plati num is uot useful enough, because it is so unm magcable, and it is not beautiful tnough. And so on about absolutely everything except gold and silver. Find another article having similar qualities, nd you will assuredly have another ma terial for specie currency. Tie main basis of the value of real mooey is the in ttiusic value of the material as mcrchand i.'C Coining is an authentication or en dorsetnent, which is supposed to certify everybody that his dollar is a dollar, and such a certificate adds something to the intrinsic value. Convenience, as a uni versil standard for valuing, add further to the merchandise value of coined money, just as a yard-stick gains value over its firewaod value, or its slat value, because it is a standard of lenth ; and a further value il it has" been adjusted and certified by the inspector of weights and measures. How much money does a community need? Ansicer : Enough to carry on with case all the transfers of value in the community; the payment of wages ; the daily expeuses ; the sale io the chops ; the transportation of freight ; the fares of passengers ; the sales of real estate ; in short, the daily life in business. So far in civilized hiftoiy, the quantity required bears a proportion to the number of pco pie who use it, and to the property ihey own, which has an analogy with the pro portion of oil in the bearings of a steam engine to the engine itself. For instance, during the four years ending June 30. 1871, it may be stated as a rough approxi mation that the currency which oiled the business bearings of the United States was rather more than ten dollars to each soul of the population. This includes whatever yon happened to have in jour wallet in those years; all your bank account; what the storekeeper was usin in his business, and so ou. The round sums total which arc near enough to the exact figures to chow the oiliny office of money, are these ; the whole of our cur reney, about four hundred million dol lars ; the whole of our property, real and personal, about fourteen thousand million dollars; the whole of our population, towards forty million. Omit some ci pliers and we may cay. in handier figures, that on an average, in a nation cituafed as ours is at present, every four souls, woith fourteen hundred dollars amongst them, do not need more than foity dollars in cah, being ten dollars a head, to keep their business straight This would be very likely to fail with any one separate four; but it holds good of the whole of the men, women ami children tngethcr; and if a larger sum is in anybody's hands, a less sum is in the hauJs of somebody el?c. i paper mouey will not do alone, that is, wilhout any specie at all, why will it da io part? Answer: liecauce paper promises to pay (greenbacks, for instance) will do a great part of the changing of values, although they will not do all of it; and if there is specie enough within reach at any time to serve the purposes of those who will not take promises to pay specie, that maintains the credit of the rest of the promises. It turns out that in practice, and on a large scale, it will do if there is about a quarter as much specie always ready as the whole of the paper money that is going. This is pretty sure to meet the wants of all who insist on real money. That is, mutual confidence will uphold three quarters of our cur rency; we niicht almost say Christian civilization is at present at a business dis count of tweuty five per cent. But we cannot get gold for even a quir ter of our greenbacks, execpt at a heavy discount, and yet they serve a pretty good purpose so far. Ought they not to break down on these principles ? Answer : Their gold basi? exists, but is is two stories down initcad cf one. The United States, under certain conditions, gives its bonds for greenbacks; this is th first story down. Under certain other conditions, the United States gives gold for these bonds, and meanwhile it pays gold inter est on them. This is the second story down, where you come to the real specie foundation. Mutual confidence keeps the greenbacks as near gold value as they are. Anybody who wants to see the way in which changes in mutual confidence change the value of paper money, need only follow the gold speculations of the war period among the respectable gam biers of New York. If the Untited States paid gold for greenbacks, instead of in this indirect way, they would be worth a gold dollar for each paper one, instead of from ten to thirteen percent, less. Prae tically, there is from teu to thirteen per cent, of doubt about the future contingen cies of human life, between the average citizen and his Government, in conse quence of this slow way of paying gold. Some conclusions about the recent panic, on the basis of these doctrines, are these : It is a carious fact that paper money was hoarded during the panic, instead of specie, which has usually been hoarded at such times. This shows how thoroughly our paper money is accepted in lieu of specie. Why not? Tt is th nearest we can get to specie. Wackford Squeers, his father said, was "next door hvt one to a cherubim." Greenbacks are next door but one to gold. There is not far from money enough for all the honest business in the country. Those men who wish not to give value for value in an honest business manner, but only to get away other people's money for nothing, that is, the stock gamblers and corner makers, and others who trade in what they do not own those and such others want more paper money afloat. Naturally enough ; to put out more paper money is to make a change in value. It is by taking advantage of changes io val ues that these men live. If no changes happen, they start a lie to make one. There are also, as the reader sees men of incorruptible honor, who want more paper money. Rut their demands are limited to the claim that the currency shall keep exact pace with the business of the country. That, is, every additional soul wants his teo dollars. The increase of ease and quickness of communication, however, enables a less total amount of currency to do our exchanging ; that is, it tends to diminish somewhat the average of ten dollars ; how much, is not known. The paoic of September was caused more by a loss of confidence than by any real business misfortune. What real business misfortune there was (at first) befell enterprises and persons entirely too speculative in character. Because the genuine business interests of the country are too closely mixed with the stock gambling and speculating interests, they suffered also. The real preventive against other such panics will be found so far as humanity can furnish it iu an elevation of the av cragc tone of business honor and honesty. It is theft to get value from another man without rendering value for it. It is gambling to bat on the future val ues of other people's property. It is conspiracy and lying to set afloat false stories and get up operations for the purpose of diminishing the value of other people's property. Let these plain truths be felt ; let theft, gambling, conspiracy and lying be turned out of public places like the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicairo gra market, and drived info even such an im perfect secrecy as that of area thefts, faro gambling, blackmailing conspiracies, and legally tangible lies, and business panics will be greatly lessened in number and severity. But in New York, such thefts and gambling, if perpetrated io the Stock Exchange, are actually affirmed to be honest by law. American extravagance in Europe has frequently been made a subject of ud verse criticism. But the value of cs lablishiug a reputation for "good pay" abroad has ia a certain way been ex cmplified by soaie of our countrymen and country worse io Paris, whose means of support through letters of credit were curtailed by the receut panic. Id some cases shop keepers and dress-nuakers, recognizing the neees&itias of those who have beea good customers in the past, have advanced to their patrons money enough to pay their passage borne. Colonel Crickley's Horse. I have never been able to assertain the origin of the quarrel between the Crick leys and the Drakes. They had lived within a mile of each other for five years, and from the first of their acquaintance there had been a mutual feeling of dis like between the two families. Then some misunderstanding about the bouodry of their farms revealed the latent flame, and Colonel Crickley having followed a fat buck all one altcrooon, and wounded him, came up to him and found old Drake and his sons cutting him up. This incident added fuel to the flame, and from that there nothiog the two lamilies did not do to annoy each other One evening, Mr. Drake, the elder, was returning home with his "pocket full of rocks" from Chicago, whither he had been to dispose of a load of grain. Sam Barstow was with him on the wagon, and as they approached the grove which io tervened between them and Mr. Drake's house, he observed to his companion, "What a beautiful mark Crickley's old roan is over yonder 7" "Hang it !" muttered Drake, "so it is." The horse was standing under some trees about twelve rods from the road. Involuntarily Drake stopped his team, lie glanced furtively around, then, with n queer smile, the old hunter took up his rifle from the bottom of his wagon, and raising it to his shoulder, drew a sight on the Colonel's horse. "Beautiful !" he muttered, with the air of a man resisting a powerful temptatiou. "I could drop old roan so easy." "Shoot ?" suggested Sam Barstow, who loved Cud inany shape. "No, no; 'twouldn't do," said the old hunter, glancing around him again. "I won't tell," said Sam. "Wal, I don't shoot this any way, tell or no tell. The horse is too uigh. If he was fifty rods off instead of twelve, so there'd be a bare possibility of mistaking him for a deer, I'd let fly. As it is I'd give the Colonel five dollars for a shot." At that moment the Colonel himself stepped from behind a large oak, not half a dozen paces distaut, and before Drake. "Well, why don't you shoot ?" The old hunter stammered, in some confusion : "That you. Colonel ? I I was tempted to ; aud as I said, I'll give a V for one pull." "Say an 4X aud it's a bargain." Drake felt for his rifle aud looked at old roan. "How much is the horse worth?" he muttered in Sam's ear. "About fifty." "Gad, Colonel, I'll do it. Here's you 'X' " The Colonel pocketed the money, mut tering : "Hanged if I thought you would take me up !" With high glee the old hunter put a fresh cap ou his rifle, anJ standing up in the wagon took a clos sight at old roan. Sam Barstow chuckled. The Colonel put his hand before his face and chuck led too. Crack went the rifle. The bun ter tore out a terrible oath, which I will not repeat. Sam was astonished. The Colonel laughed. Old roan never stirred. Drake stared at his rifle with a look as black as Othello's. "What's the matter with you, hey ? Fus' time you ever served me quite such a trick, I swar !" And Drake loaded the piece with great wrath and indignation. "People said you'd lost your knack of shooting," observed the Colonel, iu a cut ting tone of satire. "Who said so? It's a lie !" thundered Drake. "I can shoot "A boss at ten rods ! Ha ! ha !' Drake was livid. "Look yere, Colonel, I can't stand that," he began. "Never mind, the horse can," sneered the Colonel. "I'll risk you." Grinding his teeth, Drake produced another ten dollar bill. "Here !" he growled. "I'm bound to have another shot any way." "Crack away," cried the Colonel, pock eting the Dote. Drake did crack awa-y with deadly aim too but the horse did not mind the bullet in the least. To the rage and unutterable astonishment of the hunter, old roan looked him iu the face as if he rather liked the fun.. "Drake," cried Sam, "you are drunk ! A horse at a dozen rods oh, my eyes !" "Just shut your mouth, or I'll shoot you !" thundered the excited Drake "The bullets were hollow, I'll swear. The man lies who says I can't shoot. Lust week I cut oQ a goose's head at fifty rods, and kin do it agiu. By the Lord Harry, Colonel, you ean laugh, but I'll bet now thirty dollars that 1 can briug down old roan at one shot." The wager was readily accepted. The stakes were placed in Sam's hands Elated with the idea of winning his two tens, and making an "X" in the bargaio, Mr. Drake carefully selected a perfect ball and buckskin patch, and loaded his rifle. A minute later Drake was driving through tho grove the most enraged, the most desperate of men. llis rifle, inno cent victim of his ire, lay with broken stock on the bottom of the wagon. Sam Barstow was too scared to Uugk. Meanwhile the Culoeel was rolling cou vulsed with aiirlh, aBd old roan was stand iog undisturbed under the tree. When Drake reached home, his sons, discovering bis ill humor an J the mu tilated condition of his rifle stock, has tended to arouse his spirits with a piece of news which they were sure would make him dance with joy. "Clear out !" growled the angry man. "I don't want to hear any news ; get away or I'll knock one of you down." "But father, it'a such a trick !" "Hang you and your tricks." "Played off on the Colonel." "On the Colonel," cried the old man. beginning to be interested. "Gad, if you've played the Colonel a trick let's hear it." ' . "Well, father, Jed and I, this after noon, went out for deer " "Hang the deer come to the trick.' "Couldn't find any deer, and thought we must shoot something ; so Jed banned away at the Colonel's old roan shot him dead." "Shot old roan ?" thundered the old man. "By the Lord Harry, Jed, did yuu shoot, the Colonel's boss?" "I didn't do anything else " "And then," pursued Jed, confident the joke part of the story must please his father, "Jim and I propped the boss up and tied his head up with a cord, and left him standing under the tree exactly as if he was alive. Ha, ha ! fancy the Colonel going to catch him ! Ho, ho, ho! wasn't it a joke ?" Old Drake's head fell upon his breast. He felt his empty pocket book and looked at his rifle. Then in a rueful tone he whispered to his boys : "Yes. 'boys, it's a joke ! But if you ever tell of it or if you do, Sam Barstow I'll skin you alive. By the Lord Har ry, boys. I've been shooting at that dead hoss half an hour at ten dollars a shot." Origin of the Farmers' Movement. The farmers' movement, says a West em correspondent, dates its origin back about four years. Emigration has been so great of late years iuto our Western States, particularly in the wheat growing regions, that the country has been rapidly settled. This has given a temporary market for brcadsuffs to the uew comers, while they were themselves making a new farm. But when they had brought uew acres under cultivation, their labors in creased the amount of crops, so that it became necessary to send a large amount of products to the market. Meanwhile there had been a considerable increase iu the number of railroad miles in the West. The extension did not, however, keep pace with the development of the conn try, aod was inadequate to the transports tion necessities required for the removal of the superfluous products. Consequent ly, each year when navigation closses, about December 1, a great amount of superfluous products accumulates to be sent East. The amount of these super fluous products annually increases. The extraordinary severity of the last winter, aud the mechauical and physical difflcul ties resulting from the intense cold, ren dered it impossible for the railroads, after the close of navigation, to move tho crops as rapidly as the demands of commerce required. According to the law of sup ply and demand, the scarcity oT transpor tation facilities during the last winter, in duccd the railroads to increase the prices of railroad freight. This iucrcase in the cost of carriage was of necessity paid by the farmers, and was a tax deducted from the price of their graia at the farm. This increased freight tariff caused great dis satisfaction. There soon grew up an ill feeling on this account between the rail roads and the farmers, the latter insisting that the railroads were extortionate iu their charges, and unjust in their dis criminations. During the last five years there have been many attempts in the Western States to control railroad freight tariffs by legislation. Almost without exception, tho railroad companies have refused obedience to those cnactmeuts. And when suit has been brought by the authorities to enforce these laws, the rail roads have been almost uniformly success ful in the litigation. This fact has iu tetisified the irritation on the part of the farmers. The almost unprecedented large corn crop of last season brought on a crisis between the railroads and the far mers shortly after the close of navigation in December last. The supply of corn was so much in excess of the demand that the price at the farm io. many portions of tho North west was reduced to the price of fuel, and iu some places even lower, so that in many localities corn was used as fuel. Meantime the railroads were overburdened with the superfluous crops to be couveyed to the sea board. The unusual intensity of the winter created many unaccustomed obstacles. The nc cessary delays in transportation caused lar-'e quantities of breadstutts to accumu lato in local centres awaiting shipmeut. At the same timo the local storekeepers were pressing the farmers for the pay ment of their bills, which they could uot well discharge until they had realized from their crops. The iow price of the crops induced most of the farmers to keep them, i the hope that, in the spring, bet ter prices would be obtained. These var ious circumstances increased the bitter ness id the feeling on the part of the fr mess toward the railroad companies, which they accused of combining to iucrease the pi ice of freights and to demand eitor tionate rates, and is the first cause of the movement now to. exteukive, aud known as the "Grange." A Chinese Burial. A China woman died at Sacramento, Cab, and her husband being well pro vided with money, gave her what he con sidered a first class funeral. The Sacra mento Union describes the ceremonies: "About 5 o'clock in the afternoon the body, inclosed in a coffin, was placed on the sidewalk in front of her late residence, and by its side were ranged tables load cd with roast chicken, roast pL'. boiled rice, candy, nut, brandy, whiskey. &c., suBiuicnt iu quantity to keep the spirit of the deceased from being huugry for a month. Thcsc articles remained on the sidewalk utitil late I lie next forenoon, sur rounded by paid mourners, who seemed to be carrying on a lively competition in the matter of giving full value for the umney received. At the cemetery, after the eiGn had been lowered, hired mour ncrs aud the two children of the deceased walked round the grave once, while the husband remained standing silently by. Then vessels containing food-were put ia the grave at the head and roit of the cof lin, followed by a small quantity of earth-. Next to be put in were live chickens aud ducks, aud these were promptly covered with earth. The grave having been filled up, braudy and whi.-ky were sprinkJci1 upon it iu a liberal manner, while a pig's head, roast chicken, boiled rice, oranges, apples, nuts, candy, &c , were laid upon the mound. The ceremony being con cluded, the Chinese returned home in their carriages, while some Christian bo)s, who had becu closely watching the pro ceedings, gathered up the fruit, candy, &e., aud likewise left for home." Winter Shawls. The camel's hair are uuusually hand some this fall, says a fashion journal. The Colors are richer and clearer, the beauti ful Tyrian red being conspicuous, and the designs finer and more delicate. The prices rauge from ST 5 lor an uly, square shawl such as nobody wants to So.UUU, which few would be likely to pay. Those at oOO and SGOU are very handsome, fine and soft, and more frequently bought than any other grade. Camel's hair scarf's, for which there is little sale, can be had at from 5 to 100 They are. ordinarily worn mantle fashion; aud: are sometimes employed for sashes. The superb French cashmere shawls, hand some as their Iudia rival?-, eume in simi lar designs and equally--' beautiful colors ; but tkey are woven, iustead of being made by hand ; aud they will not bear such hard usage. Their value is frsu 5l) to $7U0 eertaiuly dear enough, to satisfy the greatest spendthrift Among the most attractive shawls of cheaper grades are the Ottoman reps, which, notwithstanding their Eastern name, are of Scotch origin. They vary all the way from 3 50 to $30, presenting; the most attractive variety of brilliant hued stripes. There are quieter chawls, however, and the haudsctuesc have phia grounds of scariet, black or white, with broad stripes wrought in bright silks aod Persian patterns. These are extremely pretty aud elegant, aod nice enough iu? aoy occasion. Warm, comlortabic and pretty traveling chawls can be had at prices between Sti and SI5, and are suffi cient to satisfy fastidious tastes. Sleeping in a Cold Room. Hall's Journal of Health siys that cold bedchambers always imperil health and invite fatal diseases. Robust persous may safely slesp ia a temperature of forty or under, but the old, the iuta-ut and the frail should never sleep in a ruixu where the atmosphere is much under fifty degrees Fahrenheit All know the danger of going direct into the cold room from a very warm room. Very few rooms, churches, theatres and the like, arc ever warmer than severity degrees. If it is freezing out of Jo irs it is thirty degrees the difference being forty degrees more Persous will be chilled by such a clringe in ten minutes, although they may be actively walking. But to lie still io bed, nothiug to promote the circulation, and breathe for hours an atmosphere of forty and even filty degrees, when the lungs are always ut uinety eight is too great a change. Many persous wake up iu the morning with infl jmniation of the lungs who went to bed well, and are surprised lh-.t this should be the case The cause may often be found iu sleeping in a room the window of which had teeu foolishly hoisted for ventilation. The watercure journals of the country bavo done an incalculable injury by the blind and indiscriminate advice of hoisting the window at niht. The rule should be everwherc during the part of the year when fires are kept burning to avoid hoisting outside window. It is safer and better Ij leave the chamber door opes, as also the fireplace theu there is a draft up the chimney, whilo the room is uot so likely to become cold. If there is sou.c fire in (he room all night the window may be opened an inch. It is sale to sleep iu a bai air ail niht with a temperature under foty. The bad air may sicken you but caouot kill you ; the cold air cau and does kill very ofteu.
