Clingman oil the Gi Currency. wi ca The distinguished ex-Senator of Xorth er Carolina has been recently interviewed tj| by a correspondent of the Herald, and th gives bis views at length upon the cur- m ' rency question; making a strong argut, ment against a sudden contraction of thn rMirrnimv nnd sustaining the nosi . tions assumed by the Ohio unci Penn-[ i sylvania platform, as well as by some of the leading minds of the country. ^ He urges that the question to be con- H sidered, is not the abstract one between specie and an'inconvertible, currency, *') \but the policy of contraction in a cur- 111 rency which like ours, has suffered im- fn' mouse losses during the war, and to [supply which, there was an overflow of I currency amounting at one time to not ! less than two thousand millions of dol- f ilars. This loss of property he thus es- "*( ' ti mates: th "If you consider that, including ad- ^.e ) vances made by States, towns and in-jnl idividuals, and what the government Pc paid out during the war, with its ac- ca . i knowledged debt it makes $">,000,000,000. | aj] I The debt of the Confederate States was! I I i-i.ii. i.?if .0 .un/,11 (ton nnri nnn I hi jjJM#UUUl\ nail UO IIHIVM, VI VMt>fVVtvvu,vWv. , , Then 1,000,000 men, perhaps, wercj18. 5 either killed or so disabled as to become jWl , nou-producers. If the.se men were es-j0^1 tiifiated as being individually worth'0*: only as much as an abled-hodied slave; sold for in 1800?SI,500?there must be;1" added a further loss to the country ofp" SI,500,000,000. Then there were em-1 th ployed on both sides for four years, J0'1 nearly 1,000,000 men, who received forj?a their labor not more probably than one-11Z( third of what they would have earned ' ^? at home. Besides this there was an|'3r immense destruction of property in the; ^ South during the war, while the North 1 ^ sustained heavy losses on the 6ea in several modes. A fair summing up of all these items will show that the country, as a whole, must have sustained a J loss of not less than $8,000,(HiO.OOO, and -t ?i. ?? ?1,1 mu\ ruin " ' j pernups uiuvh us .pur,vuv/,uw,uv.,. , Upon the heels of these immense ?. > losses came the issue of the two thou-1 sand millions of currency, and had the ! jV . situation remained unchanged until the!,,, country had been afforded time to re-j,, cuperate, there would have been no ground to complain, but the govern- ^ ment has contracted the currency to one '* f third of what it had been, ana thus increased the debts of the people and Pa i made it harder for them to meet their . ! obligations. Yet in spite of the pros- !? tration of the country and the wounds r ' inflicted upon business and credit, a pol-! i icy of further contraction is still urged. 4 Capital is locked up, prices are going!" down, and bankers and business men generally are waiting for a turn in their?' tide. This prostration all grows out of the rapid decrease of the currency, " and the further reductions threatened. Mr. Clingman makes the following;"6 effective reply to the argument that the I course proposed would be dishonest : .1 "A leading advocate of hard money I isays that the man who calls for more | ?' circulation is dishonest?that he wishes!8 to pay a hundred dollars debt with only j 5" .liSU. But he insists that it is not only j .J right to make a man who only owed ?80 now pay $100, but that it is dishonest Pa for the government not to compel him to pay the larger sum. The organs of ?J. the jnoney interest say that debtors i T> wish to pay their debts with rags. 'I hey 1 ( forget that they, and the government! acting in concert with them, scattered Jnc these rags over the country and induced j ?" the people to contract debts on aragj : basis and are now unwilling to receive them back again. If a year ago. I had jK] borrowed 1(J() pounds of rags, with Jijcl] promise to pay 100 pounds, could my f0 i creditor rightfully insist that I should f! pay him gold instead ? Or would it be i)L ,; fair for him to combine with other cap- Ijc ;[ italists to destroy all tlie rags in the hh f nnnntrv so tliat he mijjht compel me to[80 - pay him gold instead. This figure pro- j jn Bents the real merits of the case. The fj people were encouraged to make debt8 j r| in rags, and now are they to be required i j,., -! to pay them elfin gold? The greedi-Uj, | 11 ess <>f the money power has thus par- 8j, lyzed the industry of the country." jt* Again he says: |nc ' Theliard money organs denounce as|otrepudiators all who are against their |}lll ruinous policy of contraction. If a re-!0f pudiation party should arise it will be vj due to the denunciatory course of these ()() organs that, in their profusion of epi-j*r, , thets, are likely to excite the anger of!,n* Ithe sull'ering masses. The people of on - j til in country are willing to pay every j J dollar of the national debt, but theyj think it, ought to be paid in the manner | i least burdensome to them. It was a great mistake that the government did' j f not content itself by paying merely the;jjr ; interest of the debt up to this time, i*Jj( f leaving the principal to be discharged |w, after the country had recovered from ' the losses of the war and its wealth and j ( population had been increased so that j j the burden would have been rendered j fe] comparatively light. Paying the interest in gold would have brought the bonds up to par, and this ought to have ' > satisfied men who had originally bought icr< them for half their fac<* value. The Ca bondholders and their allies, by insist-j"l ingon more than this, and urging a pol- ng icy as unjust as it is ruinous, may so tu irate the masses as to lay aground fori ue a repudiation party. Men may rise up (of > over the land who, by showeng that the! to ' bondholders have already rtccivedjto | more than the principal and interest of what they actually paid in gold, may so influence the minds of the people as to t ] induce many to favor stopping further iti payments. Should any such strong jiuj party arise it will be solely due to the ric greediness and insolence of the money | nu power. th With regard to the propriety of abol- C ling the present National Hank sysn, and substituting Legal Tender >tes convertible into Government tids at low interest, his views agree th those of other leading statesmen. 1 ;says: * 'The present national bank-monop- J t ought to be discontinued, and a sys- c 11 of State banks allowed to take its ^ ice. For ten or fifteen years prior to >0, we had as guod a system of cur-JI icy as we could reasonably expect to J I doubt if the community lostas;a jch under that plan as it does under t b present one. Indeed, in addition to j a bilitiesof individual losses, the pres-j'l t national bank organization, besiues|2 inordinate gains, is enabled to make I b extensive combinations among itsjfi iinbers as to place the business opera- 5 ns of the country under its control, t il the debtor class at its mercy. Be-|l: les removing it, the government t ould, it seems to me, not only coin! a ecie but also furnish the paper needed ! c circulation, By making that paper t 2eivable for all public dues, it could t ubtless keep afloat a larger volume I an we how have, io prevent depre- f ition, that paper should be exchange-1 le for government bonds at a rateofjt terest not above four per cent. In the \ st instance such paper should be ex- s anged for the present-national hauler tes, paid out for all its expenditures, in cej)t what it is bound to pay in specie, j \ d in exchange for interest bearing ;1 nds at a fair rate, until there was out- 1 mding such a volume as the wants of 1 mmcrce and business required, to be \ isened when necessary by investment i bonds bearing a low rate of inter- j t t.? lc From the present outlook in Ohio, he j ? inks Allen's majority ought to be 100,- t [),?that as the Democrats supported ( eeley for the Presidency, the Liberals j 1 11 likely concede the nomination of aji ndidate to the Democrats?that neith- r Grant nor any other Republican hasjl e ghost of a clianco 01 election?imu i e business prostration, as it has been t e cause of past Democratic victories, i list ensure their triumph in the future. ( *<?>?. ^ Hart; Connty. l Hart County is evidently a good i >unty to live in. The Elbcrton Ga- \ He says that onco,it was a good joke to < k what were the receipts of cotton at ] artwell. The Gazette well says, "it i ay have been a good joke then, but | c receipts at this pouit now is no insig- flcant matter. One firm there ships ] ore cotton than any house in Elbcr- < 11, and as much cotton goes to market ji >m this town as from our own village, ' not more, and they have no ware-jj mse either. The trade of Hartwell J' Duld surprise one not acquainted witli Ij n voct imnrnvpmplita in the uast few 11 sirs. Thousands of dollars worth of;] 1 kinds of merchandise are yearly dis- j | ised of, atid many of them for the sh.

A correspondent of the' Atlanta Conlilution has interviewed General Aired Austell, President of the Atlanta National Bank, who gives a gloomy acount of the business prospects of the sorth, as compared with the Soutb. lesays: "The condition of the North is just bout this: They have been upon the op of the house ever since the war i?d now they are having to come down ?he shrinkage of values throughout fe\> England and New York city has icon immense. Rents of property have alien oft from their maximum at least 0 ner cent., and there are more houses o rent in New York than I ever knew iefore. Jobbing houses and circles are lot doing much, as the lines of trade re being conseutrated in the wholesale ircles. There is very little money here except iu the hands of a few, and hey demand the very best securities efore they will'let it go out of their lossession. "There are more goods already made han there is demand for, and while I vas in New York cases of calicoes were old as low down as $.25, which was a uinous price. Much of these goods ire not worth upon the market hardly vhat the raw material cost at first lands. I was told that there are a milion and a half of people in the New England States and New York who vill have to be taken care of by the iponle of the country this winter, aj hey have no means of a livelihood ex:ep't their labor, and for that there ig ind will be no demand. Besides all this ;hc city debt of New York is $137,000,)00, the result of which is high taxation. Property is valued at two thirds it cost tnd upon this there is a city tax in New i'ork city of three per cent., making he property valueless to a great exteul \ny one can forecast the result of this (tate of affairs. As I tell you. they nust come down into the basement and jlimb up again. They will, as I told me of the leading men, have to see iard times just as ve did. They have jeen doing busine^ since the war upon ;he inflation which is brought about :hey found themselves with over three thousand millions of dollars more monjy, in greenbacks and bonds than they tiad before, all our negro property and wealth being lost to us and thus gained ;o them. But they have lost all theii war fortunes, real estate has fallen from fancy figures and they are now compelled to come down to "hard pan" in everything. They are depending upon the Wesl md South to bring in some trade, rhey calculate to get our cotton cheap, roods are now cheaper than when cot:on was from 4 to O cents per pound, tf they cannot sell the goods they make :hey cannot pay big prices for cotton, ?.wi thr>v think that the nrice of this %" v,,%V * ;rop will go down to 10 cents. ConTacts are made now to deliver cotton here in November for from 12} to 12j jentsper pound.?Last year we made ipwards of four million bags of cotton md yet the people can't consume all tlu *ood*s made. Matters will not be bet?red ranch by the present crop. "We arc better oft* to day than the STorth. They have their paupers and heir people out of work, and must pi'o ride for them.

This you may rely upon a; in axiom to the Southern people. Our condition is in every way prom siug. We are far better off than he Northern people, all things considered.

We insist that there are none if the mechanical branches well masterid but will bring to the workmen $3 ;er day; and there are some, such a." ocomotive drivers, carriage and ornanental painters and carriage trimmers, hat command from $1 to $7 per day. lint these men are skilled workmen; heir handicraft is not picked up in n nonth or a year, but is the result ol study and close application. But how ew of them are in the South, and those hat are here are generally of Eastern mportation. Skilled labor is always in lemand. Unlike clerkships, superinendent.s, .salesmen, ollice-holders, etc., he occupation seeks the man, while the tppointmenfs to the latter are more frequently the results of iuiluence and fa,'oritism rather than merit or capability, md are consequently very unreliable.

It i? said that the hard money leaders of New York, in view of the probable election of Allen in Ohio, and Pershing jin Pennsylvania, and the adoption of the money plank of those States in the National Democratic Convention of 1876, are preparing to secede and form a new party on the hard money issue. They hope to get a large body of re; cruits irom the Republican party on i this issue, as the defeat of that party in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, would give a death-blow to the organization and prepare its members to unite , with a new party. A* to the currency question is the leading issue in the Ohio and Pennsylvania campaigns it promises to be the leading issue in the Presidential campaign of 1876, and whether or not the old names or the old party organizations are to be kept up, still there is to be a struggle on the paramount issue of a contraction of the currency, and a resumption of specie payments. On this issue the capitalists of the East will likely to be arrayed against the business nan on/I Inhnrinu olnauuQ <?vorvwhfiTP. tllVylt UtlU JUUVIIiig V'MUV/V^ w ? i and in the issue between labor and capital it is not difficult to see the result. -, The present depression of business, low prices, scarcity of money and general discontent, will turn over the control of i afiairs into the hands of men who can s at least promise a change, and whoso i surest hopes of victory are based upon the fact that the present government i has brought no relief to the country. !

Upward 1 of half the saline matter of the blood i (Ft7 ner cent.) consist of commou salt: s and as this is partly discharged every i day through the skin and kidneys, tho ' necessity of continued supplies of- it to > the body becomes sufficiently obvious. The bile also contains soda as a special ' and indispensible constituent, and so do 1 all the cartilages of the body. Therel fore, if the supply of salt be stinted, " neither will the bile be able properly to i resist the digestiou, nor the cartilages be bnilt up again as they naturally waste. And when we consider it to be a fact that without salt man1 would miserably ^ perish, as among horrible punishments j entailing certain death feeding !culprits on saltless food is said i to have prevailed in barbarous times, . I we may become partially convinced, at I least, of the necessity of feeding salt to , our stock?that it is one of the neeessa' ries as well as one of the luxuries of life i for man and beast; and it should be i1 profusely provided at short intervals, in H proper places, if it cannot be kept by ! j them continually, so that each and ev|ery animal may satisfy the demands of >! nnture. Then it shall not be said of j u? that while oiir pudding is well sea|soned and salted our stock are allowed ' i to suffer for want of the same ingredient which is as truly necessary for their * food as for ours. Advertise Your Business. i Dou't wait for people to find out by I chance that you have goods that will be 1 sold at bargains; but tell them through ; yo.ir country paper what you can do. ;jftisa mistake to suppose that people : will soon find you out. Tales in your ! favor travel slowly, but very fast against you. You may mark your goods down ' i ever so cheap hut the masses will never I know it unless you publish it. Some 51 merchants think that when people buy goods at low rates from them that ' " - 1 fUnU 'siraigmway mey wm gu unu icji men ,! neighbors all about it, and <herefore !; that is advertisement enough. The ; j thing is absurd i they will do no such thing. It is not the way of the world. [ | When people obtain bargains they do ! not want others to know where they get ! them, lest they fare as well. The sure 1 j thing is to put it in the paper and every ); body will know it. i SiiiVKK Change.?Ajtropos of the i coming millennium of silver small I change, a Washington letter says : "The '(announcement that Secretary Bristow ; has stopped the issue of ten cent fractional currency is without foundation. | Since last March there has been no issue of fifty cent fractional currency, .[the object being to rid the market of I the counterfeits of that denomiuation. '! As far as possible the twenty-five, flf j teen and ten cent notes have been fuiv | nished, but the extent to which the i half dollar notes arc circulated exceeds ,i that of the other three issues, being.fcver J one-half of the entire amount of fractional currency in circulation. When the | redemption of the paper begins, or as I the hard money mnu of the treasury, j Dr. Linderman, director of the mints, expresses it, when they are ready to {cremate the fractional currency, the ' plan will undoubtedly be to withdraw J all the notes under fifty cents and roll place them with subsidiary coin. Mr. ,i Linderman, who has traveled exten| sively in the West, says that the de| mand for silver coin is very great.

A correspondent writes as follows about the power of a well known plant: "I have discovered a remedy for pul. miliary consumption. It has cured a 'number of cases after they had comnienj ced bleeding at the luugs, and the heci tie flush was already on the cheek.

"If Ohio goes for Allen by a large majority," says the Courier-Journal, "Allen will lie the Democratic nominee, or at least his counterpart in opinions.
