1t is rumored on what is believed TO
be good authority, that preparations are
nearly completed for the incorporation of
a company to be called the Eastern Ex-

to construct Immediately railroad from
Davisville on the California Pacific to
Goose Lake, Oregon, thence via Christ

valley OF Snake river to Bear river and
thence to a point ON the Union Pacific
Railroad at OF east of Ogden. This road
will form part of grand combination
formed in New York which already cons
trolls the Pennsylvania Central, Pittsburg
and Eft. Wayne, Chicago and Northwes-
tern, and Union Pacific roads, and will
complete the direct line from New York
to San Francisco independent of the
Central Pacific. 1t is reported that the
stock is all subscribed for by European
capitalists, and the construction of the
road is positively determined on ; work
to commence within go days. The COM

FROM NEW YORK.

NEw YORK Nov. II, 1871.
To the Editor of The WoRKISGMAx's ADVOCATE.
The most significant of all the revolu-
tons now going forward in this great hot
bed Of corruption, is the New Departure Of
Horace Greeley upon Finance and Suffrage.
What does it mean? Whatever others
may think about it, to me it would appear
as if out of the extreme Radical wings Of
both the great political organizations would
come forth the elements which will coalese
with the Labor Reform party, adopt its
principles, and make the great solid united
political party of the people
And then will come the great uprising
for justice and good governments party
which shall indeed throw off the yoke of
tyranny, and take on the habiliments Of
righteousness, sacrificing everything before
it. The following is from Greeley's edi-
torial in the Tribune of November o.
LET Congress make our greenbacks
fundable at the pleasure of the holders in
bonds of 800, 81 600 and &c. 900, drawing
interest at the rate Of one cent per day on
each 800 (or 3 05-100 per annum), and
exchangeable into greenbacks at the plea
sure of the holder. Now, authorize the
Treasury to purchase and extinguish our
outstanding bonds so fast as it is supplied
with means of so doing by receipts from
customs or otherwise; and to issue new
greenbacks whenever large amounts shall
be required-every one beiug fIlndable in
sums Of 500 81 900 or 5000 as aforesaid,
at the pleasure of the holder in bonds
drawing an annual interest of 3 65-lOO, in
coin, per annum, and the bonds exchang-
able into greenbacks whenever q holder
shall desire it,
Does this not show how completely the
scales are dropping from the eyes ofleaders,
and how solid is the foundation Of our
National Labor Union platform Of princi-
pies, how certain their adoption by the
nation, conservative and just as they are.
The question now is, will the enraged peo-
pie be satisfied with their moderate propor-
tons.
Ii Horace Greeley, the recognized leader
and brains ofthe Republican party for over
twenty years past, shall to-day publish the
alarm In the Tribune and declare that he
heartily endorses it and enforces il by
all the arguments he can, how soon will Il
be before he will learn the balance of the
lesson, viz: that the payment of the inter
est on our bonds in specie il unnecessary
as it ia unwise.
OF course no man can hope to become
President Of this nation through our, help

many things that we were unable to en-
brace in our account OF the trip. We said
something in reference TO cooperation rs
there practiced, which has caused consider
able of that which il is said Horace
Greeley is proficient in, and about every
other man there is blamed for giving us the
information. To quiet the disturbance,
We will say that long before we ever
thought Of going to Detroit, we were con-
versant with the state Of affairs in the so
called cooperative shop, but, W. must
confess, we did not know that mems work
was ever condemned, and instead Of Is
being thrown on the scrap heap, was
taken to the mounting shop and the molder
get no credit. This We did not know
and perhaps we do not know it even now.
But then you know if il does reduce wages
il increases tine profits and as all are
stockholders what's the difference NolderS
International Journal
THERE are 1875 cooperative societies
in England and Wales, with a membership
of 249, lib persons, and u total capital of
81, 1856 945 The total cash paid for goods
amounted 10 $37 ,2SS, 7O5, on which a net
profit Of $2,77,175 was realized This
shows profit Of 25 per cent on the capt.
tai invested, and is apparently satisfactory.
But on closer examination il is found that
the profits are chiefly derived from CO.
operative stores, while the majority of CO.
operative factories made no profits what
ever Only 80 out Of 732 cooperative
stores make no dividends, while 1913 pay
lar e profits Out of II cooperative work
shops only 8 made any profit, and IA were
run either at positive loss or without pay
ing any dividends. The Cooperative
Manufacturing Mitchell Hey Mills at Roch-
dale, with capital OF $500 600, produced,
in 1870, goods which sold at $776,6S0, on
which no profits was realized These
figures show that only the fruits of more
leisure, culture and experience will secure
from the ranks of labor the material of the
highest value in the wise administration
and use ofmoney Still cooperation is The
goal toward which we must work.

The MOLDERs.-In the last number Of
the holders International Journal, Mr. SAT.
fin, in referring to his visit to Chicago after
the fire, says:

foundries had been DESTROYED, which gave

that these As married men had 1G7 women
and children dependent upon them for sup
port. number Of single men lost every
thing except what was on their backs,
while the whole 1875 members were neces-
sarily thrown out of work.
One circumstance added greatly to the
general distress among the molders. The
rule IN Chicago is TO pay once every month,
and Monday the 9th was to be pay day, so
that the majority had month wages due
them, and per consequence getting
short" just when the fire sWvoped down
upon them, and as their employers were
involved in the general ruin, payment Of
course was indefinitely postponed. Union
No 23s local fund was deposited in bank
that shared the general destruction, the
meeting room of the Union with its firni-
ture, books, seal, papers, &c, were all lost
Under these circumstances issued the ap-
peal to the Unions for assistance, and the
response has far exceeded the anticipations
! of the most sanguine, and where all have
done 80 well, comparisons would be odious.
The following amounts were received in
the order printed.
Then follows a list of monies sent which
amounts in the aggregate to 1851 80.

How to Reduce the Interest on the Ma
tional Debt
Your obedient servant,
PLINY FREEMAN.

From the New York Tribune Nov 9th.
MIR. Boutwelrs plan Of funding the Ma
tional Debt has had a pretty fair trial.
True, the times have been adverse; but we
have generally found them so when we
needed TO borrow money. The sum and
substance of the Secretsry's success il the
funding of $200000,O00 at five per cent.
on the payment Of a bonus Of IL per cent
to the syndicate Of foreign bankers who
have agreed to take the loan. We would
not disparage this achievement, for we re-
gard it as decidedly better than nothing.
Add TO the interest 80, 000, 000) 81. 900 600
more iOr the aggregate cost of printing the
new bonds, advertising, explaining and
commencing the loan, and the entire cost
of funding the 5000 OOO 900 at five per
cent. for ten years is $4,OO0,0OO. 1t seems
to us that this does not justify hope that
our 81 100000 of instantly or presently
redeemabie Skies can be promptly funded
even at five per cent
Having given to the Secretary's efforts a
hearty support throughout, we urge that
radically different plan may next have as
fair trial. Before we send another bond
abroad to be hawked from clearinghouse
to banking-ho throughout Europe, we
ask the Government to try-iust earnestly
1y-to fund the bulk of our Debt at home
We could not have sold our bonds, duriug
the dark hours of our Civil War, to Europe
at any price, no matter how ruinous, if we
had not first shown our faith in them by
taking hundreds of millions of them our
selves. Sc now, having seen how reluct-
antly they take our reissues ut five Der
cent with discount, let us show them
that we stand ready to take a larger
amount at lower rate Of interest at par.
Here is the gist Of our proposition.
Let Congress make our Greenbacks
fundable at the pleasure of the holder in
bonds of 500, 81 900, and $4,000, draw
ing interest at the rate OF one cent per day
on each 500 Tor 8 65-100 per annum) and
e1chdngedbIe into Greenbdcks at the pleasure
Of tie holder. Now authorize the Treasury
to purchase and extinguish our outstand-
ing bonds 80 fast az it is supplied with the
means of so doing by receipts for customs
