A1DING THE SI'F.CT" LATOKS. The I i ifENAL has on several oc casions condemned the action oi the Secretary of the Treasury in using his authority and discretion tor ttie rehet ot the w all streer camblers. When shoi t crops and low prices of wheat and cotton threaten to almost rum the farmer. why don't the .secretary go into the market and buy up the surplus of these articles and relieve the pres sure on the agricultural class. Isn't it just as lair and right and as much in accord with law ami the spirit of our government as it is to anticipate interest on govern ment bonds and paying a premium for said bonds in order to relieve the speculators of Wall street ' A friend hands u a Cop of the Journal of Commerce, one of the able.-t finaueial journals in the whole county, from which we take the following sensible article on this subject : The present admiiii.-tration has been criticised for vatious omission- and commission-;, but one of it- most quest lonable acts has ex cited verv lit'le eonnnent in the public press. The papers ot' both parties, especially at the Fast, have Ix-en inclined to ileal leniently with t he Secretary of the Treasury, who luvs gone out ot his w ay to - relieve the money market" by anticipating iiavment.s of interests not vet due Irom the Treasury, and offering to i.ureh.LSo a rvortion ot the unmatured d.-bt. We have no doubt that Mr. Fair- child has done this in what he be i ... ., y , . l neves to us' tue puonc interest, ana without any pnriose ol securing any pecuniary advantage to him- self. Hut if he was np to his eves in srncnlation. or was dividing the profits with an operator in the stock market, be wonld probably hare taken the same course. There was a pressure for money, and it is said that a panic in stock, and possibly in some articles ot produce, might have ensued if the Secretary had not come to the relief of the market, This was no doubt the saDsXanc of the plea made to him, ami the reason he would assign for his ac- tiou. Bat is it one of the functions of theTreasurv Department to prevent a panic in stocks or to stay a de- cline in the prices of produce-!

Not alone stocks, but coffee, cotton, breadstnffs and proisinns are all likely to be af fe'eil by these financial operations. - A tip to the ring a day or two be fore the public announcement of the proposed interference by the Treasury, would le a boom to the operat-ors who are living by their wits out of the earnings of : he r.-st of the community. We have assumed tluu far in this discussion that the propositi ar rangements will prove an actual ' relief to the market, ami that the only question is as to how far the Secret. it y of the Treasury was justified in such official action for a purpose in which his department was not directly interested. That is a graM- qties tion in itself, even admitting the i n t e c i i t of all concerned, bothius to its design and the method ot its execution. N r opimsed such ma nipulation of the market, when there was lar more excuse fur it than any which can now bo offered. It is vicious iu principle, and most always give rise to more or less scandal in ita excution. 4lut a question of still greater importance arises as to the ellect ot this scheme upon the material interests vi the country. We do not !elieve that it will turn out to 1m? a measure of relief, as expected, and we ha c little doubt t hat in the end it will prove to In? tar more in jurious than helpful to all legiti mate interests of trade and com merce. It is not wise to interfere with the operation of natural laws. The temporary stringency it w as designed to remove was one ol the moattMinetici.il restraints that could be imposed. It checked the opera tions of speculators only to reserve the funds needed for legitimate business. It is not wise to play into the hands of those who are rising tin proper capital of the country to foist into favor a load of securities for which thev are seeking a mar- k, t that can' only be tonnd when money is abundant. Still less is it ..,..l,ant rrw ir . innihion ' -t.ov n f,..v, t, who make this play with the mar- ket the assurance that whenever ; the nlav roea acainst them and i some of their ill gotten gains are kely to Ik? squeezed out of their ! trreedv fingers, thev can obtain relief from Washington under the threat that they will smash things in general if aid is not given to them. Let them go to the wall and suffer for their own folly. It will be better for all honest lolks. liesides the restraining ellect on speculation, in itself an almost uu mixed good, the increased demand for money, if let alone, would have drawn a more certain relief from sonrces outside of the public Treas- ury, the effects of which would be far more abiding and permanent. The low rates of ink-rest which have prevailed here for the Ust few years have not aided business enterprise. One of the first signs of renewed activity in every tie- partmeiit of trade is a greater de mand for money, and this is best answered by drawing to itself capi tal that eeks tor profitable em ployment and not by a dole from the public inir.-e The market will sutler lar more between the close of t he ear from : unwise intertereiiee ot Tie officials than it could possibly sntlered it left ro t he natural tsnry ha e laws 0f suj.plv and duni ,n-l. ok i ii ( v koi. i n rs I I.

Tin mis aim is une oi i ne pei pi u.iui occurring has increased since the present ad min the late questions in agriculture, which it istration came in. don't von think it 1 : i-.i. ... 11.. : seems qitheuit to settle (letinitely. The reason is, that sometimes pull ing fodder diminishes theieldof gram and sometimes it does not. To underst ami t his clearly, we must look into the economy of the plant. Where does the material who h forms the rrrain come from .' Take a stalk ot corn, just as it begins to shoot its car. It is then about full grown. Its stalk and leaves are then full of those constituents which abound in the grain after- enforced a riid ee.-r.omy in every de ward such as nitrogenous matters, partment. taking i; out of p diti' sand sugar starch, phosphates, potash, running it . n strictly t u-:r.e. - prir.ci ete. Alter the ear is fully formed pies, that v, e are convm-ed that it will and matured, these substances are never pav a dividend as a local, inde- no longer found in stalks and leave in any quantity. The latter dry up and lose their nutritive quali ties, tock no longer eat them with relish. Ihe shuck, which is nearest the grain, is the only part which retains the qualities oi forage. What is the explanation ? 1; is that as the seeds begin to foim, the materials scattered through all the parts of the plant, are gradually transfeired audio eated in the seed. The latter are. a- i: were, the concentrated ex tract of the whole plant. Put it is also true that for some weeks that is, from the time of shooting to the full development of the ear, the j i la ii t may be still at work gat hering crude matcitals from soil and air, and elaborating them. These elaborated materials may pass quite directly to the ear, or may be distributed to the stalk and leaves, replacing that which is transferred from them to the seed. Now let us apply these facts to the matter of fodder pulling. If the soil is poor, and especially if the weather is dry, it taxes the plant to the utmost to get material enough to perfect its ear. All the uu trious matter diffused through the stalk and leaves, and all that it can gather during earing time is needed to make the .eed. None can be spared, and when all is taken by the ear the plant cannot replaee It I'rOUl the poor, dry soil, Iience, if the blades are pulled Oil L)C'10re rue seea are periectiy ma- tured, something which would have gone into the seed is taken with ineuj. me ui.iucs miuuiu ueien iu give full opportunity for all the nutritious matter in them to be r 1 .1. II uausie reu lotueeai. iience we conclude that on poor soils the yield of grain is lessened by pulling the fodder. in rich soils the case isdiilerent. Food material being abundant in the soil, that transferred from the blades to the ear may be prompt ly replaced from soil and air. hence when the grain is fully perfected the blades may be still charged with nutritious material and may make thore- lore gouu tuuuet. ine iiiAing up of corn blades is not from lack of tnoisture, they are still in free coin- munication with the soil. The dry- ing up is tuo result oi me uansier of materials and with this transfer . - dency to dry up begins with the lowest blades, those nearest the ground from which the water is drawn. The reason is that these are the oldest leaves, have com pleted their work and give up their valuable contents soonest to other grow ing or developing parts. The drying up extends from the bottom to the top in the same order that growth took place that is, from the ohlest to tin- youngest. When corn fires in dry weather the bot- ourselves. torn leaves di y up. because t he Sup- Ktilroads an- unqu .-tionably the ply of moisture and lood from the pioneers in d.-vclopir.a a country, and soil being cut short, the growing the-y will do i: when it i t.i their inter parts towards the top of plant robs est to do so.

Looking then merely to yield of grain, pull fodder on rich bottom lauds, but do not tiip the blades on poor uplands. Whether it pays to pull fodder at all, is another question. It may be cheaper we think it is to raise forage crops proper, such drilled corn, sorgham, millet, as clover, grass, etc. W. L.
