We will not stop to investigate that matter, for we are more concerned with the action of our own country, As early as 1807 the project had been mooted of establishing the gold standard in the United States, uud from that time on it was quietly tulkcd at the treasury department by n few senators and representatives aud possibly in the highest banking circles. But it was uov er die'cussed in public, aud the people were never cousultcd with refcreuco to thoir wishes. Iu 1853 tho weight cf the liulf dollars, quarters uud dimes hud been reduced about 8 J pir cout, their legal tender limited to $5 and tlfeir coiuuge ou pri vate ucccuut slopped. This was iutended to r.rovcut their rhipuieiit ubrcad, tho effect cf which had been to uiako these eujiill coins H'ui'cccuuMug iucouveuieuce to I how needing change. But, Diiccicr PrcBtcu to the contrary notwithstanding, it was in 'no senso n demonetization of silver. Tbo "dollar" remained a full Irral tender, aud its coiuage wun unlimited. Although a pri- vute individual could uo longer huvo Ins bullion coined iuto half dollars, quar ters uud diuics, be could fctill have it coined into "dollars," cud these dollars were lawful money tho same as the gold dollar. Bat cn (he 12th day of February, 1873, the miut law was revised, and the staudurd silver dollar was dropped from the list of coiuB. A trade dollar 7,'s grains heavier wes substituted. As there were but few standard silver dollars then in the country, this amount ed practically to the demonetization of silver. The trade dollar was not intend ed to be legal tender at all, but when the general revision of the statutes took place early in 1874 the legal tender of all silver coins was fixed at (5. This made the demonetization of silver com plete in the United States. Silver was no longer available except in small sumsuot exceeding $5, aud our vast debt, public and private, instead of being payable in "coin" of either metal, became payablo in gold alone.

In Kentucky they were williug to turn the state over to the Republicans rather than see Black, bum, tho choice of seven-eighths of the party, return to the senate. Constituting an almost infinitesimal minority in the party, the gold coutractionists have nev ertheless been in a position to defeat the will of the people, uud they have used their power with a relish that shows that they cure nothing whatever for Democratic tradition aud principles, but are willing to sacrifice everything in bohalf of the Republican scheme of the single gold s,tnudurd and the contraction of the currency in the interest of the bondholders aud metropolitan money lenders. sprius. Ana this catch of tho clover he says was obtained "notwithstanding the coutiuued tramping of tho stock.

Maintenance of the existing gold standard of values was viguronsly urged by the executive council of the Ameri can Bankers' association. The council openod its annual convention in the rooms of the chamber of commerce at 10 a. m., with Joseph C. Eendrix, pres ident of the National Union bank of this city, in thechair. Over SO members were present from every section of the country. The morning session was devoted to a discussion of protective and free trade policies. Duriug the afternoon session the following monetary platform was unanimously adopted by the council: The executive conncil of the Ameri can Bankers' association declare un equivocally in favor of the maintenance of the existing gold standard of values and recommend to all bankers and to tho customers of all banks the exercise of all of their influence as citizens of the United States to select delegates to the political conventions ef both great parties who will declare unequivocally in favor of thf maintenance of the exist ing gold standard of value. Xew York Advertiser. atr Dr. Mile' enr flastera. east" Here follow three letters from Minnesota farmers who have gained suc cessful results by this method. The writ er already quoted says : "I was in no way surprised at these results. In fact, I expected them after having gained some knowledge of prairie soils. There are good reasons for ex pecting such results. When grass seed , fails on the prairie, it is not through uuy natural poverty of laud, bnt because 1 of lack of moisture. The seed invaria bly starts, but later in the season it often dies. If the laud on which it has been sown has been spring plowed and a dry season follows, there is a rapid escape of moisture through evaporation. That is one reason why fall plowed land in the west is much better qualified for a catch of grass seeds on prairie soils than ; spring plowed land. Again, when a j nurse crop matures where grass seeds have beeu sown, it robs these of mois- 1 ture; hence as soon as the nurse crop" is cut and they uro exposed to the glare of the hot sun they die. Now, when a nurse crop is sown thinly and grasses are sown at the same time, nud live stock are turned on to graze when a good vigorous 6tart has been made, the treading of the soil lessens evaporation and so increases the moisture of the soil. The growth is eaten off ; keuce the drain on moisture is lessened. The sunlight is let in, aud this tends to iucrease the vigor of the plants. Of course we can well imagine that there should be some discretion used as to the extent and continuity of the pasturing. "It may seem hazardous thus to pro claim this new method cf sowing gTass seeds in the west, but I do desire to call tho attention of farmers to it in the hope that they may try it If it should turn out that it is found worthy of pretty general adoption, it wonld mean a great deaL It would mean that pasture could be provided on short notice when want ed. It wonld mean that weeds would share the fate of the nurse crop they would be eaten down.
