TIE CENTRAL RAILROAD OF Iowa, a trunk line,

February last, and is fully equipped with depots

was opened for business, s37 293 after deduct
ing all expenses for operation and repairs. The re-
suit in September, before the Chicago fire which tenn
porarily deranged the movement of freights, was
even better. The company owes no floating debt,
and the funded indebtedness incurred for construction
amounts to only $4,000 mile The earnings
sufficient to pay the interest upon this light debt and
leave
A Surplus of SiS, 900 n Month.
The entire debt is limited by charter to $4,000
mile, and the Equipment Bonds offered cannot
accordingly exceed $4,000 to the mile, secured by the
franchises road track rolling stock and property

The proceeds of the present issue of Equipment
Bonds will be used in adding to the rolling stock,
which proves inadequate to the amount of business
offering, though the company has % locomotives

The Construction bonds were marketed at 95. The

Banking from n Fogy standing.

The failure OF the Wheeling Savings In
stitution last week, created terrible hub
bub, it is said, among those who were so
unfortunate as 10 be depositOrs 1t is on
ly another instance Of the rottenneSs of
the practice deprecated by old bankers,
but Of late grown much into fashion, Of
paying interest on deposits and trusting
TO speculation or usuriOus rates of dis.
count to make it profitable. We believe
most, il not all, Of the Wheeling banks do
it; but the practice is radically wrong, in
conflict with sound principles, and any
bank that practices it should be regarded
with suspicion. The business of legiti.
mate banking is not so extraordinarily pro-
fitable rs to justify a division of the profits
with every depositor and the inference is
that any bank that pays interest on depos.
its is not doing q legitimate banking bust.

The foregoing does not indicate correct.
ly the causes that produced the failure OF
the Savings Institution. 1t was wholly
due, so far as yet appears, to thesecrct ab.
straCtim of the funds by the Treasurer.
Nor does this seem to be a fair statement
OF the case generally with reference to the
banks that pay interest on deposits. There
is profitable and safe margin between
the rates paid depositors and the current
rates of discount which the best borrow
crs in the market have TO pay.

I'nE army appropriation bill, rs passed
by both Houses, contains paragraph re.
ycrsing tic action Of the Secretary of the
Treasury in Withholding the whole Of the
moneys earned by tho Pacific Railroads
Tor government transportation. The
spectacle thus presented is rather Il strik.
ing one. The Government loans its bonds
to these roads to the amount Of siXty.iour
millions, and they do not even pay the in
trrcst on the loan. The Government pays
the interest lover three and a half millions
year, gives the Companies all its trans
pOrtation atwhatGver they please to charge
and credits hut half the transportation
bill on interest account. 1t Is not strange
the Companies should insist on such n
course; for the auGacity of great corpor.
ations, especially those subsidized by the
government, has latlcrly been such as to
render surprise at any Of their demands
out of the question 1t ought to be mat.
Ter Of surprise, though, that those whose
duty 1t is to protect the Government
should allow it 10 be wronged in this way
that Congress should be more intent on
putting money into the Golfers Of these
railroad corporations than Of protecting
the treasury. The explanation doubtless
is that Congressman are owners Of Pacific
Railroad stock and bonds, and in voting
to take three and a halt millions out of
treasury each yer 10 pay the debts OF
these companies, they are, not very indi.
rectly, voting it into their own pockets
These Companies reCeivedtobcgin with,
IN empire of territory us free gilt. Then
the Government loaned them its bonds,
to an amount sufficient Of itself TO build
the roads. Then it released the roads
from its first mortgage, enabling them to
raise nearly an equal amount on their
bonds by first mortgage. And now the
Government, by the action Of Congress, is
required to pay the annual interest on their
debt. Is there anything else the Pacific
ring would like the Government to do for
them II so, they ought not to hesitate
TO demand It.
