Obstacles to Immediate Resump- tion, and Dzangers of the Effort. 4 Parallel In British Ilistory---Gen, @arflcld’s Recent Speech Sharply Critlelsed. In tho form of aletter to the ITon. William . Kelley on the national eurrency and resumnp- Yion, Mr. 4. W, Schmckers, of Philadelphia, jntsan claborate review of Mr. Carficli's 9 ech delivered lu the llouse of Representatives on the 17th nlt. Ile eays: My old fricud, Gen. Gurlleld, {n the course of speech on the 15th inst., In reply Lo yours of the_15th, took exception to your alleuation that Peel's Lill of 1819 for resumption of spevie- Ceents In (reat Britaln had produced the tremendous evils and ulstresses siffered hy tha people of that Kingdom during the resuniption period, and said We appealed to every writer of acknowledzed reputation in England for the rush of his position. - He elted resolves of the Jlonse of Commans in 1521 that Pecl’s bill was ot the cause of the distress, and in 1533 that Pecl’s bill ought not to be rcg;mlevl the vote {n the furmer year betng 1411037, and_ in_the Iat- feri03to 80, He allezed tho British Houso of Commons to Lo aa *aensitive an index of pub- Jic opinjon as Enggiand knows,” and_that the Houee of Commions, in 1831 and 1522, *must pe assumed to have known something of the condition of England,” and, moreover, that thelr resolves wero passed after the fltustrious knights of English finance had vanguished mctkul!cyl and Ewings “of the perlod.” Ho ask -l what Ameriean could take pride in quot- {og Sir Arebibald Alison, an ultra Tory, whose patred of Republicnn institutions was conspl oIy deep nnd strong, and vommnended Miss Mariinean's account of “the resumption period, and tue account given by Mr. Tooke in his * Ils- tory of prices.” HISTORY OF BIUTIRI RESUMPTION, (Gen.

It had cn- abled the conntry to make efforta to which its means could not otherwise havo been equal. And he readily admitted that {n peace also the eystem affurdad facilities to commerce which ft would not otherwiso enjoy."” But, adhering to the doctrines of nis father—~wlho, by the way, wearding to Lord Ashburton, proferred wold to sliver as the monectary stundard, “for a very foolish reason,’ which was “that the richest rountr" in the world should have the costiicst metal "—Lord Liverpoo!l made the return a Government measure, and [t was but through the Comniuns, according to Willlam Cobbett, amid a pandemonium of uxcitenent. TIE KFFECT OF PEEL'S ACT—DISTIESS, The cffects of thoact were Insiant, Miss Martineau, to whose histury Gen. Garlleld com- mended publicattention, epprovingly quotes Mr. Wyndham Ward (who scconded the usual nddress to the King at the opening of Parliament in 1819) as piving a glowlng pleture of the condi- tlon of the country ot that tine. Waouzes wern good, emaployment was plentiful, finvorts and sxporta had jucreused, the revenue had fm- proved, and confidence hiad returned among all ciasses—gereatly disturbed, I inuy here remark, by an unsuccesaful effort to return to specle zlymenls made In 1810, Charles Kulght, in his istory of England, says of the same perlud, that the excelient cundltion of the country tould not fail to withdraw from the disallected the principal means of fomenting the spirit of d{scontent, Tho peace nod traurlnllmyunuu sountry, he said, were restored. lut with the It measurca for resumption, In 181M), eoys Robert Mushet (whose acknowledwed reputa- Mou a8 o writer on Huanco fien. Gar- deld will not deny). tho vrosperity of the sountry sceted to vaulh, and by the middle of she year 1810 the condition of tho kingdom was weof extenslve turbulence and disorder, so freat that the Governmeont was already resort- g to soverc measures for the prescrvation of the public peace. As you alleged in your speech the Bank of Englaid proteated sgainat Peel's bill—pending 3 cussion in Parllancnt—with great and moressive ecarncstnoss, a8 also did emlnent snkers_and merchants of lLondon and other dtles. Everyone of the cvila which rasulted om the operation of tho bill were distinetly and explicitly forctold: but the buillonista satil the trouble was that nature, by a sudden and, ihey ought to have added, Impudent, expansion tlier powers of production, had entered the dats to defeat tho proplicts of evil by lierselt naking gond thelr proph It was certainly 1most nnu;i & most rare, a must wonderful sod contounding clrcumstance sud eolneldence, Wie 1(ko of whicti, unheard of before, hus never been heard of sinco—tiil resumption began ders at bome.

Gen, Garfleld nurses the delusion that it fs nossible to resume apecle payments at the time fixed by the Resumption nct—that is to say, Jun. 1,/ 1870, Has my old friend reflected upun the vast magnitude of this work of resumptlon{ Lot e cull Lils attention to two or three facts, Lust year the clearing-house exchanves in fifteen clties minounted to more than £30,000,~ 0,000, These were exclusive of that vast aguregate of transactions of which no recurd fs orcan be made. The whole nnnual exchanges of the country cannot be less than $250,- ,(00,000, of " which at this time not more than 1 per cent proceed upon the gold basts. But resumption of specie payments means the useof gold as the agent, not of | per cent of the whole stupendous fabrie of Amerlean traflle, but of 100 per cent of it. it means the m:l.unly physical presence of gold, In greater or leas amplo supply, In_every city and everv county in tho country; in every bank, whether State bank, private bank, savings bank or National Bank, and tu all the ic treasur- fes, Federnl, State, and municipal, It means the extenslon of zold Into actual use na A fund fnto which not only all the clrenlating paper notes, both of the Government and_ the banks, uro Lo be convertible at the will of the holders, —many of whom will demnand gold,—but all the loans and deposits of the banks, and all the debts of the States and municipalities, all of the corporations, and of all the people; In a word, it ‘means the extenslon of gold fnto al physical uso os the fnstrumnent of e awd measure of value {n all the 000,000, of exchanges which an- nually tuke place among us. Of the nature of this work of extending the use of goldlet mo give you an fllustration. ‘The re- port of tha Comptroller of the Currency for 1870 showed that there was at that timoe in the whole country 2.059 National Banke. I have analyzed the condition of those banks at that time (and there has heen no lln!l’mfllbll! change sluce), and see the result: Threo hundred aud forty- three reported themselves as having no apecleat ally 127 had Jess than $100 eachi 523 had lesa than 8500 cach; 810_had less than £1,000 each; 40 hind less than $5,000 cach, and of the whole number only 234 lad over 85,0005 of theae () had less than 810,000 each. 8o you sce that 071 National Banks had less than $500 fu specle cuch and that 1,300 of them had jess than £1.000 cach. But if by specle payments Is hon- estly meant n avstem of bayments i specie,— not the vonfidence gamo played by Btate banks upon tho people of this. country for soventy years, undera pretense of paving in apecle,— then {nto every one of these 2,080 institutions fo- ted in thirty-nine 8tates' and Territories—and asanabsolutélyeasential preparation forresump- tlon—muat bu drawn gold cuough to -meet des mands amounting to hundreds of mitlions of dollurs, Ueu. Gurfleld must uot decelve him- self usto the demand that will be made for gold, Ila showed in his speech that the lank of Franee, in order to contract its paver notes 810,000,000, had pushed into the clreulation $2:0.000,000" of gold andailver; and, tri- umphantly says my old friend Garficld, the Bank of Fratce Is'within fifty days of resnmp- tion, Pethaps so. It apparently did not ocenr to him that ¥:20,000,000 of guld and silver were necessary to bu injectad into the cirenlation of France,—u country nmoujz whose people und fn whose bank, other than the Natfoval Bauk, there wus already 81,00,000,000 of the precious metale,~{t might ;um;lbiy be necessary tainject £200,000,000, o $300,000,000, or $100,000,00, at lenst, tnta the American bunks aud among the poople as s uecessary preeaution toward specle payinents! Whon $220,000,000 have been “puabed” Into clreutation, and wo have a metallle reserve In onr Fed- cral Trcnnur(xmuml in the banks of $430,000,000 or $110,600,000, thien we, tou, may poertbly he witlin fitty dovs of resumption. Meantime the condition of the National Banks s sutllelently Mustrative of tha extent of the *pushing yet to be done; and ubout resumption even in France we shall probably know wore in fifty duys Lhan we Know now. NOT TO UE DONB IN TIIRTREN MONTUS, Gen, Gurfield, liko most_men, confounds two things that are widely different. Ho evidentiy supposes that becouse the premlum on gold hos fallen to 24¢ or 3 per cent wo are therefore upon the yerge of reswinption. This is a great fulla- ¢y, Tolestroy the rrvmlum on gold {3 one thing, nud miht be dune without the lnterven- tion of a einglo ounce of tha metal§ but to sub- stitute gold into actunl useas the measure of value and_instrument of exchange is quite an- other; to do this it s manifest wo wmust have the real gold: for how van there be specie-poy- wents without specie to pay with? And Jfs it not even obviously truethat It Is after thediffer- ence between puper and old disap- pears that the lu}ectluu of gold futo clrculation must begln, if fv begins at all) Nor must 1t be supposed that the withdrawal of paper notes and the substitution of wold will procecd pari-pasai—tliat i%, that as o dollar of puper I withdrawn a dollar of old wiil step in und take its placo,—for 1t 13 not 8o, We must procure our gold by giving In exchange for it, not our haper doller, but the realized capital of the country, If wo could trade our paper dollars to Englishmen and Frenchmen, or to tho Amerfean gold-mincrs, for gold ones—doltar for dollar—we should sutfer a good deal less hardship and cmbarrassment in the work of resumption. 1t hoppens, however, that tho work involyes two it inet operations, We must gel rid of our paper by one process avd acguire our gold hy snother.” There (3 only one way in which the latter operation van Lo offect- eds A void must by created 1 the moenctary clreulation so tremendous and extensive that rold will tubor (n from forelun couutries to (il t upe It s In this way only, by releatlvssly taking away from the peoply thelr accustomed monetary fucllitics, and 1o merellessly destroying the ~value of their property, that wo sball get our gold.

Gurtleld or any othicr sune man think it possihle to accom- pilsh the stupendous work in thirteen months, or In thirty, und without the most tremendous otfects upon the happiness and rrosperu of the countryt in polut of fact we have madono more thay's fale beginving upon the work ot rusum))tlun; thero must be a further depres- ston of prices and - values,—not less upon the averazo than 80 per cent,—and Lussert—and ex- pericnee will contirm what [ suy—that the work yetto bodone fur excesds In” maguitude and oppressiveness the work that hoa ‘heen done.

It 18 a fact that 1ow prices at onco discourage the ratslug of pigs, while high orices have just the opnosite eilect. ‘The bad weuther, together with a dosire to soll beeause of the appearance of discase tn lo- calities, which created a panie and causcs many farinera to rush in thelr ‘stock befara the dis- cuso ubtalng a foothold, is, no doubt, largely tho cuuso of the FRESENT LOW PRICES, Treeders wust also take Into consideration the prico at which live hogs are eclilug, and re- ducs their prices for stock hogzs accordinely. Twenty-ive dollara s an exorbitant price for a piig that does not welgh aver 150 pounds; yet many breeders a3k it. -When hogs are cheay, peoplo get alovg without the services of a thor- oughbred, or call_on rome nefehbor for one} but, when high prices obtain, they aspire to own awond breeding avimal, We predicy that, in less than two years, everybody will o wild on tho blooded hog business, and that the trade fn theao animals will be Jargo and ut remunerative figures, * . DEATHS AMONG JOGB, Whenever o liog dles, it Is charzed up to the “chiolern,” which s the ueneral teem appliod to ull hog-iseason. Ono cause of deats, especial- Iv at this scason, is from catehing a cold, which finally gettles into pneumonia or some slow typo of fever, A dozen or fifteen_hows Iny ull piled up, snd get to steaming. Suddenly’ they are ealled to fead, nnd they all rush oat uf the nest, Komo of them get ehilled through, caten a cold, and fn o fow doys die. Auother causeds the sudden chango of food, A great masny hogs Qlo of “cholern,” fron ealing too tmuch green vorn when tirst fed to them in the fall, A gon- fieman ju this clty, ¥ho hus had consider- able cxperienco in feeding hogs, thinks that shorts, fed iu too large gQuantitle: wra 8 predisposing causo of ‘chole An Ohlo Xmuer, who feeds from 300 to 500 hogs overy year, savs that hu can cure * cholera® by sivlmgz the slck untina) sweet milk to drink, He has tried it o F"ll mnuy thmes, amd nothing can shiako his falth in {ts eflleacy.

Pleasant, Ia., writes ss fol- ows 1. 1 wish tolcarn something of the best labor- saving machine for tile, and whether thero machine that does successfully takv the placo of munual Inbor, o bring the cost below what it would be 1f dono by haud. 4, Do they perforni tho work well? 3. What ara the merits of (ho itsndolph machine ditches? What do you kuuw of the wertts of r's patent tilv-laylog machine, Its cost, avallabilily, etc.? These are the ooly ma- chives that_have ‘stiracied my notice. I desiro to put down cunsidersble 1ile. s do eeveral of my neighbors. We bave the tila convenicat, but the cost of ditching is s barrier. 1. Wehave neversccn a tile-laying machine in operation, but the cuts with which the proprie- tors’ circulars aro $lustrated show them doing the work to perfoction. There are iuanyreasons why they will not workin practice, atthough tilo may be laid by them. To be relluble, tilo must be {a(d Jevel, or uearly so; su@s tu the line are alost futal to it. No machine will run perfoct- 1y level, and it will be an fwpossibllity to iud wny great strotch of low ground that is ot fu- tersected by ridges. 2. We have vuly negative evidence, 8, Wo are vot ucquainted with the merits of either of the machiues mentioned. We would advise * Farmer” to purchase cither Fronch' or Klippart’s works on drainsge, before com- menciug. Wo doubt whether any machine has been {uvented that witl supersede the epade for digging trenches for tilv, Asa watter of later cat, we append the following description of & NEWLY-FATENTED INVENTION h&l. 1L 8parks, of Clioton, Ill., wlhich {4 de- ol s ufil todoths work required by our Towa lend 2 The ditch for the tilo ts made by & plow-shaped cutter, which is supported sud drawn aloni by & beavy truck, Behind Ihe cutter is sn sdjustable conductor, in which the tile are placed, and, as the cutter ls furced forward, the tiles out of the conductor, sud are lald ‘ono after another in the trench mada by the cutter, —the canth falling back over I} 8s the wachlue woves slong. A bed sbove the entter carrfes the tiles, and a boy ean feed them Into the conductar. The cutter can be lowered or rajeed by means of two large screws, thus keeping #n even degeee of fall over rowgh gronnd. The machina {a drawn by means of a capatan; and It is estimated that twe men and a noy, with two horars, can Iay forty rods of tiln per day. Mr. 8, has not yet manufactured a full-sized machine; and we presume that, when he comes to try his pet, he will find Tme a difference bo- twecen the theory and practue, o, PREFARING FOUTLTRT POR MARKET. Thia is the season when the nost profit can he derived from shipping idreased !mullrv to market, We recently visited an establishment on Bouth Water strect, Chicago, where poultry waa kiiled and dressed, The fuwls wore killed by diglocating the neck, and were not bled at nil.

Nelther hearls, Jegs, winze, nor the Intestines were re- moved. The fowls were not fed anything for twenty-four hours before slaughtering, and their “crups were empty. Thera is an alinost unifnited demand for cf)eun-nlukcd poultry, and it nlways brings a gond price. Jtis beiterto sell now than to feed a eouple of montly ery and gell un a lower market.
