Yours very truly, ‘B, 8. KNowLes, FROM GOV. CARPENTER, OF I0WA, ) Des MorNgs, July 11, 1873, I havo your postsl card containing ‘a copy of tho Farmers’ aud Poople's Anti-Monopoly I'lt- form, and, ns you nek for an answer, I will briefly comply with your roquest. Tlirst—I will say that I fully accord with what is tormed tho Declaration, and sm not only op- posed to all tho steals. named thoroin, but to all #tonls of whatover character, affccting whatovor class of citizons thoy mu{. Second—1 unhositatingly and anqualifiedly on- dorso the fivst, fourth, and fifth paragraphs, or divisions, of your Y‘mhm-m; and enclose you an address of mino, which covers some of tha quos- tions involvad t(m:uhlim ird—I am not quite suro that I fully undor- etaud tho second divigion of your plat- form. you mean to donounce tho theory of indwect taxation, or in other words; of xaising rovemuo. by a {ax on for- cign imports, I do not agreo with it, as I beliove the_purposo, which somo gentlemen avow, of oboliobiug tatiffa and rosorting to diract taxalion to suppore tho Government, is utterly chimerical and [lusory, But, it it means that; when suffi- ciont rovenuo has ‘boon raised to support tho Governnent and to pay the ponsions and the in- terests on tho public dobt, besides forming a emall sinking-fund to gradunlly roduce the prin- cipnl, then no additional lovy hould bo made gololy to oncourago home-manufactures, I am Leartily with you in that particular. If we raise ahout 800,000,000 por annum—tho smount re- quired for tho purposes named aboye—by our in- tornal rovenue systom coupled with taxes unon imports, our home-manufactures must necossari- ly, in n mensuro, bo encouraged ; as auy tax upon nrticlos of foreign manufacturo which muy bo pro- duced in thig country will diseriminato in favor ;:f fh&m production hore, And, when the tax is ovie oon foreign imports sololy with tho viow of raising nocossary rove- puo, who bo injured beeauso will the indircct offoct of tho tax may lead to tho os- tablishment of shops and tho cmploymont of men to manufacture like articles i our own | country ? Fourth—I nm not eatisfied that I wnder- stand tho fall purport of the third division in your platform. If it is tho purposo of your parly to apply tho expericnce of the pest to securing groator porfection i our prosent banking system, by wity of imposing by smondments such provisions in the law ag fail to meot the wants of the poople, overy patiotio citizon should aid in furthering that object. But, 1f tho ides is to omasculate tho system, it Booms to mo, if_succossful, it conld not result otherwiso thun in great harm to the country and to the intoresta of tho ontiro poople, It it with- in the momory of all who are past middle ago that, prior to the ostablishment of our prasont ‘banking ystom, it was difficult for busincss mon to dotermino whother they hrd monoy capable of buying what thoy wanted or not. Tho curreucy which ~mnswored your purposcs very well in Ilinois was frequently subjected to o provoking shave and sorious loss to the hiolder ‘wlon the exigencics of business required its use in Now York. Al this has been reformod by the Ropublican party, in iviui the country a tol- arably porfect Nutional Bauking law ; and I be- Hove that tho interests of tho peopla will bo eubserved by gokninin;: our present system sub- stantinlly s it is. It doubtless might bo im- proved by moro securoly guarding nn{ poasibility of charging usurious intorest, and by giving it gronter floxibility to moot the demands of trado under circumstaices, liks the moving of crops during the fall ; but, s & genoral system, it is tho safost and hest banking law ever devised in America.

My Buanten Toun, July 14, 1879, Armany, N, Y., July 0.—A poriod of thirty- soven years has wrought somo changes in yo snciont olty. Thon tho plossuro-travel aud frolghting wore all done by tho Erlo Cannl, and tho canal-bnstn wns o crowded, busy placo, Tho dock svas lined with wholesale housos for honvy goodaand grain, Thounloading of o canal-bont of grain in bulk wao a sorious matter ; for THEN thora was a shovelor, who filled tho monsurg, n stickor, o baggor, o tally-man, &nd & small army of mon to carry tho sacks, which contalned two bushols of grain ench, from tho boat, over the dacls, snd np one, two, or threo pair of atnirs, ns tho caso might bo, and ompty the sacks and re- turn for snother load. No wolghing thon, and no such thing as n grain-clovator. That was labor, but that labor was psid for at & dollar a day, and the doliar thus earned purchased moro comforts for the family than two dollara at this timo. Now, an immeneo traffic pasace through the city. Grain is transforred from canal-boat to brrges or atenmers, or tho Loat is towed,—n tug-boat, instand of horaos, Loing the propelling power. ifow New York City reachios out, and takes tho products of tho West, and distributes (hom to tho world ; and Albany is but o depot for tho gront city. Fow conal-boats rest in the basin, for thoy pass on, and now the ond of {ho canal is practically in tho Gity of Now Yorlk. There is comparatively less chango in the city propor than ono would suppose, tho chiange bo- ing mainly in tho business, A fewof tho old houses, the brick for which eamo from Holland moro than 200 years ago, are yob standing as.of old, with tho gablo to the street, THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN ; is published hore, and I bad & plonsant ohnt with tho Tuckor brothets, the editors and propriotors. This is tho oldest Kgricultural papor in tho Biate, nnd tho only ono exclusively dovoted to raral affnirs. It Jiag always maintained a high stand- ard of oxcellonco, aud is recoivod as authority Dy all who believe in progros and the dignity of Iabor. In company with ono of the brothors, I visitod tho room of tho STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. ‘Tho building is large, and the colloction’of nat- ural history is extonsivo and interesting, Tho lower room is dovoted to ancient aud modorn implemonta of farming, including plows from Indin, Syrin, and other parts of Asfa, and Africa, Nearly all tho modorn plows in the hall aro of cnst iron, and the Woest should send o full sot of hor cast-steel plows, riding and walling culti- valors, doublo shovels, planters, and iron rollers. Thoe rolling or wheel coultor is not used in this Stato so far a8 my obacrvation extouds, and standing coultors of various forms aro used. It would be difflcult to keop tho rolling coultor in ropair iu thoso stony soils, or in tho sharp-cut- ting sands. TIE CITY OF ALDANTY. o Many of the sircols avo morc alleys in width, and Broadway and Stato strcets are the onk businoess atreots of good width, Tho new Capi- tol, at tho hend of Stata streot, is to be a grand affair, and vill cost tho State a dozen millions or 80, and is & zood zmn(; for politicions and con= tractors, providing tho latter do not like Gar- yoy, divido too liberally.
