Investment Of Money.

just now, when nearly every holder OF
Flve-twenty Bonds is debating in his own
mind whether he had better sell out so as to
realize the gret< premium on his bonds, or to
wait till he is offered new bond bearing a
lower rate of Interest, a hesitation, natural
with many who hardly know how or where to
relnvest their money so as to retain the higher
rate Of interest and still have their capital
safe and tangible--we can refer them with
pleasure TO the announcement Of MEssRs
FISK 4 HArcH, the widely known and res
pected Bankers in another column. All will
remember the efficiency and earnestness Of
this firm in the sale Of thegreat Government
Loans during the dark days of the Rebellion,
and many will appreciate the wisdom of their
great faith in the ultimate value of the
very Five-twenties which are now command.
ing a high premium. Also at u later date,
their wonderful activity and foresight in pre-.
dieting great success for the Central Pacific
Railroad, which has been so fully borne out
by the rapid construction and great earning
capacities Of the road and the enviabe dis.
tinc,ion its securities have achieved the world
over. Those who have had dealings with
MEssRs. Fisk x HATcH know that their
statements may be relied on; and feel that
when they say Bond is as sure to be paid,
principal and interest, as Government Bond,
it means that they have given careful scrutiny
to the security, and that the statement is not
made on their part without n thorough con-
viction that it is so, They now recommend
with that same confidence the Chesapeake aud
Ohio Bonds, of which but small portion re-
main unsold. We entertain no doubt that
time will show their recommendation of these
Bonds to have been as fully warranted as in
the case Of Fve-Twenies or Central Pac6es.

world are accumulated, and from which they
are distributed. The earth could as well do
without the sea as labor without capital, and
the divine order Of accumulation and distri
button is somewhat better than the idea Of
this Massachusetts, convention. The way to
Kill labor is to dry up capital. The way to
parch every field aud garden is to dry up the

it claims, the right to what it produces or
