THE PEOPLES TELEGRAPH.

From the Des Moines iowa State Register. May 81
The telegraphic reform is coming along rapidly.
Cheap telegraphing is to be Of the blessings Of
the near future new company Is to be formed in
capital, which intends to cover all routes in the
States now traversed by the lines OF the Western
Union Company. 1t will reduce the cost OF telegraph
than 500 miles, and means to come before Congress
next season for contract for telegraph postal law
new company Is forming In Indiana with the same
good object In view; also a company In Missouri,
The indications are cheering that the telegraph is
to be made q servant OF the people. The transmits
sion Of messages by lightning was a marvellous i'm
provement at the start but It is better now than
then. All improvements, as general rule, grow
better as they grow older. The telegraph is an ex
years ago, but It carries no cheaper What we want
now Is more lines and lower rates. And we are
going to have both. and before long. The world
moves and the telegraph must move with It,

The Philadelphia Worth America. says:

We have for several years past been OF the opinion
that very much OF the trouble OF getting money Tor
the regular purposes OF trade Is clearly aceabe TO
the immense sums invested In the government Sc
curities and the fact that the interest on gold
bonds larger than DE legally obtained BY loan
ing money on notes of hand. This has been the
opinion also OF some OF the abesr bankers and
hnanciers In the country, from whom, indeed, we
ourselves derive it, and this belief has induced the
various attempts to consolidate the national debt at
a lower rate OF interest. Many OF those who have
camored loudest against these patriotic efforts have
been themselves engufed In bankruptcy by sudden
revusions largely owing to this cause, while Others
who have escaped ruin have sustained numerous
heavy losses from the same cause.

to date in the aforementioned years have been as
