Probably one ot the most potential reaaou lor Uie cvutiutuuicts of tne pam ml trouble wkitn is overwhelming dtl commercial and industrial euter uriaea, and postponing tne return oi ueuaion concerning tne nature oi money. people, possibly a great auu. tnew, ieuev tnat money is nece ary lor the transaction of all com mercial business, una Luut alk. that ejinreU to create money is for tlit bioveriuneut to place its stamp on something, whether metal or paper, and it forthwith in all respect au authoritative medium of exchange. Koth of tbe above assumptions are wholly wrong.

Is the earliest times all uusiuess exchanges were conducted by uaru r. Each man exchanged his la oor, or the prouuet of his laboi, for that which he needed. What he got was some other sort of labor, or the product of such labor, in return for uis own. There was no money in the cae; there was only an exchange of one commodity for another. Each in dividual parted with what he could spare, and got in exchange what he needed.

This is barter, and it was certainly a very solid ana substantial sort oi business. There were no banks and no contraction of the currency. Noth ing could cause a commercial panic, except some convulsion of nature which destroyed crops or other ex changeable property. When such a destruction of property was extensive and spread over a wide region of coun time of the Pharoah who had Joseph for his master of finance. When the crops were good everybody lived in prosperity, There was and can be but one ob jection to barter for a commercial shipments of cotton, grain, hog prod ucts and other merchandise is virtual ly so many bales of cotton, or bushels St.

Louis can keep her floats and her of grain, or barrels of pork. A mort prophets and her temper if she likes. vmcago never aid want em ana never asked for 'em. She was simply generous enough, under a misapprehen sion that St. Louis wanted to borrow a little of the effulgent glory of Chi cago day, to allow her to share in the gage on a house or lands is virtually that house or those lands.

Some persons in a loose way may call these paper representatives money, but they are not. They are articles exchanged or exchangeable in barter. Every day tbe people of the United festivities If she so desired. (Chicago, I States are exchanging their labor and TlmM.) That ia Wit ilU.mruvi I nroducta at the rate of more than three but all rizht in a business way. St.

I hundred million dollars. This is three than one thousand billions of dollars worth in a year. Where is the money necessary to pay for this business? It is not to be found In the whole world, nor would all the real money that ever was in the world amount to such sum. Then how is this enormous business done? Simply by barter. Every day innumerable wagons, railroad cars, boats and vehicles of every description arc moving to and fro delivering the products which are exchanged the one for tbe other.

But, instead of waiting for the actual receipt of the merchan dise, bills of exchange, with bills of lading attached, have gone forward by fast mails to complete the numerous transactions before the goods are actually delivered. Thus it is that the great bulk of the world's business to day is barter, just as it was thousands of years ago, with the difference that statements on paper of the quantities and values of the merchandise are used to complete and adjust the ex changes, while the merchandise itself is lying in warehouses, or is being car ried in railway trains or in 6hips. Let it be understood, then, that the bulk' of the world's business to day is conducted by barter, and money only comes in to pay the balances, to rep resent, in a word, the small change. There is in the United States to day something over $1,500,000,000 of money, gold, silver and paper, issued by the Government. This would onlv pay for three days' business as carried on by the people of this country, Fortunately, money is not needed to do this business, otherwise the wheels "You said the captious I of commerce would be totally and hope critic, pay altogether too much attention to getting the heathen to wear' white folks' clothes and making them cut their hair short, and all that sort of thing." "Mebbe we said the good man, meekly.

Why don't you pay more attention to teaching them not to rob, lie and steal "Well," answered the missionary slowly, "if I talk to them in the way you would have me to, they are sure to ask uie if the white men are not in the habit of doing the rery things you are condemning CM not lie to about it, I think ai that these things be not mentioned more than i UfeeHary." (Indianapolis Journal.) And the Chi nesewho are stoned by hoodlums in ux Christian land wond. why Ameri can missionaries are sent over to them lessiy DiocKea. ism tne problem is solved easily enough by exchanglni prod nets, and, therefore, money is only needed to pay up tbe differences, or balances, after checking the balances on one side against the balances on the other. The function of money being to bridge over the differences that result from the exchange or barter of products, it is desirable that it should be something which is acceptable to everybody.

The money of the world is commonly Eilver and gold. The effort has been made to put in coin so much of a precious metal as that the intrinsic value of the coin is just that much, and this is the caae with gold. An ounce of pure gold is worth $20 C7 in any commercial country, and the stamp on it does not make it any better. An eagle of our money has $10 worth of gold in it, stamp or no stamp. This was once the case with silver.

Tbe fatal and tremendous hurricane As for the reasons which should justify the maintenance of the settle ments in the Barataria egion, they are ground and the most celebrated oyster beds in any country. They are situ ated most advantageously with respvet to New Orleans, which furnishes an unlimited market for the product of the fisheries. These interests must constantly grow, and it is plain that the Barataria waters must be in the future more extensively than ever re sorted to for the supply of the fish and oyster consumption of a great city, and its facilities for distributing such products. This fact renders it neces sary that people should live in that region, and they will do so. It must not be supposed that Grand Isle has lost its value as a watering place.

It is too advantageously situated for that. Of course, there are people who are afraid of the place, but they cannot ton because the latter has once been shaken by an earthquake, and in spite of the fact that the Gold State has been repeatedly visited by such terrifying forces. It may be some time before property owners at Grand Isle rally sufficiently to rebuild their improvements, but, sooner or later, they will do so. The precaution which will be necessary Is to build more strongly and substantial ly in the future. Galleries and bal conies are the parts most readily at tacked by a wind storm.

These should be so constructed as that they can be blown away without wrecking or weak ening the bouse. The houses should be built of brick, or upon solid brick foundations, so that neither winds nor waves can get under them to exercise their dangerous lifting power. There is no strictly dynamic wind force that can blow down a solidly constructed house that ii not weakened by open galleries, towers and fanciful projec tions. There should be no difficulty in building houses at Grand Isle sufficient ly strong to withstand cyclonic forces, which are never as irresistible and overwhelming as are those of the tor nado. With a railroad nearly to Grand Isle, and a short ferry to the main land, the place will be more accessible, and, if it shall be put in proper condi tion, the recollection of the storm of 1893 will soon become a sad and solemn memory, and not a bugbear tc frighten people away from their en joyment.

A SPECK OP PRESTIGE FOE AMERICAN SHIPPING. In the time when the snowy canvas of sailing ships whitened the sea and had not given place to the black smoke of the steamers of the present, the United States fairly disputed with Great Britain the dominion of the ocean. But to uay the American nag is a rare sight in any but American ports, and the foreign commerce of the great republic is carried in foreign bottoms. The United States merchant marine no longer competes with that of any European power, having practically abandoned the sea and to any that chose to occupy it. It is, then, with no little patriotic feeling and national pride that the American people greet the triumph of an American vessel.

no matter If the contest were, merely made in sport, instead of in a serious and substantial business way. Such was the yacht race won yesterday in the waters of New York Bay by an American over a British pleasure boat. The contest is rather a demonstra haps, aa perfect a specimen of a keel boat as can be constructed.

The case is differ ent with Indianola, which has several times, in a comparatively brief period, been wrecked by hurricanes. Therefore, If experience be any guide, "Whereas, in view of the continued disastrous overflows in our parish, and the danger to levees resulting from the general practice in our parish of float The hurricane which has just devas Ing out large rafts of logs during high tated the Barataria region is the only water; therefore be it one of a serious nature that has been known there for a century.

Instead of carry ing around cotton, wheat, pork, corn, houses and lands to do business with, we carry bills of exchange, warehouse receipts, mortgages and other such rep resentatives of property, and we ex change them for some other representa tives. A bill of exchange drawn against citizens for the parish at large and two citizens from each ward of the parish. of which the President shall be one to see that these resolutions are en forced, with full power to call upon a "Resolved, That the executive com mittee be requested to notify at once all persons who are cutting logs sjnd many. There is a famous fishing I float roads for the purpose of floating timber to desist at once and leave the parish within three days of notice, at their peril." It is well known that there are many people in Louisiana who are interested in having the levees broken or cut in flood seasons, and, without doubt, not a few of the most destruc tive crevasses have been the result of deliberate design. The reasons for desiring the breaking of the levees are various.

In some cases the people on one side of the river, fearing a cre vasse that would deluge their planta tions, have caused the levees to be cut on the opposite side, in order to let the excessive waters out on somebody else's lands. Possibly levees have been cut from motives of revenge, in order to destroy the property of an Louis will keep afloat and Chicago has hundred million dollars a day, or more affect the mass of the population. Feo enemy by procuring it to be flooded had her day. zair to commemorate the twentieth century of the existence of the Chris tian religion is being agitated.

A crevasse there, which works such destructive effects niwn Dlaatations. crtms and the dwellings of the people, floods tMTl swamps and enables the timber getters to float their logs out into. the various rivers, and, if need be, into the Mississippi. The people of East Carrol parish fully understand this danger, and they are taking prompt measures to meet it.

The resolutions adopted by them are highly significant. THE DIPROYEMEXT 15 THE FINANCIAL SITTATIOX. Although the local financial situa tion has long ceased to give anxiety, it has, nevertheless retained features which put the busines community to more or less inconvenience. Thus, for instance, the banks emerged from the financial panic of the summer, in which New Orleans shared only in a sympa thetic way, with the heaTy crop demand for monetary assistance before them. To meet this demand, with their resources drained by the withdrawals of money by timid depositors, was un questionably a task of considerable proportions.

This difficulty has been bravely met, and that, too, without resorting to extraordinary expedients, and yesterday's bank statement proves that the pressure has been successfully borne, and the return movement of money has set in. Yesterday's bank statement shows a considerable gain in both legal tenders and exchange, and although deposits have decreased a trifle, there has been a liquidation of loans to the extent of more than half a million dollars. The decrease in deposits was a natural and proper feature of the bank statement at this season of the year, but the increase in cash and exchange proves that the return movement of money, invested in the crops has set in The large liquidation of loans proves most conclusively that money has become more plentiful, and this fact, as soon as legislation has progressed sufficient ly, will undoubtedly be scon In some increase in deposits. A potent factor in the Improvement in the monetary situation of late has been the more liberal sales of cotton. During the past few days the cotton sales have been unusually large, and, as a result, there has been a freer liquidation in many quarters, resulting in a decided evidence of a return move ment of money to the banks.

This de claimed to bo a dollar when it is only tion of the superiority of the science mand for cotton promises to continue, so worth some 57 cents. The silver money Is not up to the standard of our gold, and this is the cause of a great deal of trouble. We can still barter our cotton, and grain, and petroleum, for European products, but if the balance, which must be paid in money, is against us, we must pay It In gold, because our silver money is not up to the standard. It is necessary all national money shall conform to a certain standard, and if some of it is deficient, then creditors will not accept the deficient dollars, but plete. It so happens that half oht metallic money is deficient.

Foreign creditors will not accept It, and so the good money Is paid to foreign credit ors, while our own people are compelled to accept the light weight dollars. Therefore, in paying the balance In International barter. It is all important and skill of American ship building than of American seamanship, although that was up to the mark. It was a trial of the sea bo at with a fixed keel against tbe boat with a movable keel or board, and it resulted, after a thorough trial in all sorts of weather, from a dead calm to a stiff gale, in favor of the latter. The center board is an American invention.

The Brit ish ship builders have distrusted or disdained it, but it has demonstrated its ability to give thjs best results in all sorts off weather, and to beat, per that the return flow of money from that source is likely to continue. The past week has also witnessed the advent of the new sugar crop on the market. Already there have been fair arrivals, and within the next week or ten days quite liberal amounts of the product may be looked for.

All accounts from the sugar section report most liberal yields and 'prospects of an uncommonly large crop. The outlook for a brisk demand was never better, as the country is practically bare of supplies of both raw and refined sugars. With an enormous crop, and vith rapid marketing, both of which are practi cally assured, It will not be long he fore there will be a most liberal In flux of money from the outside, which will allow a rapid turn to comparatively comfortable finances. Now that the return to prosperous financial conditions has set in, and the end of the financial embarrassments of the summer is in sight, it is in order to congratulate ourselves on the success with which our baiikin institutions have passed through the crisis. 'Few States, besides Louisiana, can claim the distinction of having weathered the storm without a sin, bank failure, a fact which should direct general attention to the high reputation which the banks of this State have always enjoyed for finan cial strength and sound management.

THE HURRICANES OF THIS SEASON Another severe storm has visited the South Atlantic cxxiat, and although sufficient details have not yet been re ceived to permit an estimate of the damage to get abroad, there is every reason to belire that damage of more or less importance has been done. Tel egraphic communication has been affected, and losses have occurred among the shipping at Charleston and Savannah. This makes the second serious Wrest India hurricane which has visited the Atlantic coast, and, counting the late fatal storm which entered the Gulf, and the cyclone which did such fatal work at Lockport, on Bayou Lafourche, four serious storms have visited the southern portion of the United States this season. While this is not an un common number, the hurricanes of this year have been of unusual severity and more fatal in the destruction wrought than usual. These facts point to the desirability of the Government taking steps to secure to the people of this section timely warning of the approach of these West India cyclones.

At present there is no indication of the approach of these storms until they strike the coast line, and then it is too late to take precautions to secure life and property from their ravages. Prominent meteorologists have held that it is en tirely possible to secure advance warn ings of the approach of these storms were properly equipped 6ignal stations established at points to the south of our coast line favorable to the observation of the entry of these hurricanes into the Gulf of Mexico. course which these storms generally follow is well known, and it would be entirely possible to locate signal stations from which their approach towards our coast could be furnLshed. The location of such signal stations would unauestionably cost something, hut whpn we reflect that the loss of life and property which follow the Vis itations of these hurricanes couia be avoided to a very great extent by timelv warning, the necessary outlay should not seem too great for a Gov ernment as lavish as ours in all its ex where the welfare of its netoDle is concerned. A.

At one time the Government; naa an arrangement with a noted meteorolo gist at Havana by which the warning of the approach of storms was sent to Washington. These warnings proved timely on a number of occasions, thus demonstrating the entire feasibility of Keeurinz this information where the proper means were resorted to to ob tain it A portion or tne money wnicn is now sauandered In obtaining mror mation of little or no practical benefit could be applied In establishing storm tnttnna which would prove of sub stantial public yalue. A TOSSIBLE RABBLE OF RUFFIANS. If the Corbett Mitchell prize fight should ever become an actuality, instead of mere windy talk, there is a strong likelihood that it may be fought in this city. It was first proposed to have it occur in the premises of a club near New York city, but so vigorous an op Dosition is being made to it by the press of New York that, in all proba bility, it will be impossible to hold it there.

It has also been proposed to have it at a point in the btate of Indiana, just outside of Chicago, but the au thorities of that State are bitterly op posing it, and if a case now in the Supreme Court of Indiana shall be decided in favor of the State officials the hters will bo routed out from In diana. Then the resort will be to Louisiana. New Orleans has been considered the rowdy's paradise, and heretofore the entire ruffianly crew that has flocked to the prize ring has found a ready welcome here. Recently much opposition has been manifested to th brutal contests which have taken plact here in such large numbers, and a desire to prevent it in the future hai been outspoken. The city authorities have heretofore been entirely favorable to these prize fighting exhibitions.

and it is not likely that they will chaftge their tone towards them, unless there is a general and overpowering expression of disapproval of such a course. If the people wish to rescue their city from the opprobrium that rests on it they must speak out. The Amite City Fair. Amite City will nes week be the noene or a Druiiani ana snccessini xair. The FiOrlda Parishes Fair Association have been tiard at work for some time preparing for the event, and their efforts wlii surpass anything given heretofore In that line.

Communication With the Coast, i'he prospect of having regular communication opened with the' coast towns In a very short time now seems very bright. Mr.

As It is no more lumber can be obtained in a day than can be used in two hours.

We grateful ly nowledge the liberal gifts Intrusted to nr proving once more that our warm hearted pie alwaya respond when help la needed. However, the douatious so far received st not adequate to the apiolling misery exWK in tbe atorm stricken districts, and evel tt money collected by tho different exchang this committee together is not uffl5t carry out tho ainie and objects for wale have been organized. Tbe provisions and clothing so far dlitnW have placed thousands beyond momentary WMl but tho question confromiint us is: Ha these people be supported at the spproK winter? And there ia only, one reply must be placed in a position enabling tbeai earn their own living. Their houses must be repaired, sves TfW needins to some extent our aajletanee. V' must return to them the means to ply their trades and avocations, and help tbra become once mure a uwful and thrift dS of our commonwealth.

Not pimply for eisrltji but for Justice for thousands of our P0! We plead, we beg foe help fur tboM to help themselves. To carry out bur alms In this direction donations received uii'K r. I be primary Imps! of this great calamity ore not adequate, for days, but for month, these poor need our assistance ami care, and eoly 1 systematio and concentrated effort we abaU able to rescue thousands of our peopl desiKXKiencA and iiauiM rUm.
