amount is increased an imitation of business
is caused and speculation, with attendant
extravaganza, results. Decrease the
amount and general stagnatlon of bust
ness follows. These results are as newt
able as the seed time and the harvest. I'm
less something unforeseen occurs, the pay
ment gold interest, the importation of gold
from Europe to purchase the products of
OUR soil, and judicious sale of gold by the
government will, within six weeks--or by
the assembling of Congress place our cur
rency and specie nearly upon par. If at
this time, for Congress can then act in the
premises, the national banking privileges
are thrown open to all, with the provision
that for every dollar of national bank bills
issued dollar of treasury notes shall be
destroyed, it seems to us that great step
will be taken toward the resumption of
specie payments. Banking is profitable,
and associated capital will engage in the
the business and furnish currency as fast
as needed, and as fast as greenbacks are re-
'iiNd' lutSt Ddilh ubtco DtluS Rouu Dt-
You'd all contingency, the people
will have confidence in them, and
with specie, for time, at or
near par. the demand therefor upon
the part of bill holders would be insignif-
cant. So long as the government circu-
lates its treasury notes as money, it will be
impossible to return to specie payment.
Put the furnishing of money into the
hands of associated enterprise, with the
bills secured as they must be, confidence
would return at once. The currency of
the country does not exceed, we are told
the amount in circulation in the times be-
fore the government took upon itself the
business of issuing its treasury notes and
making them legal tender. If this is so,
the retiring of grcenbacks and the substitu-
ton therefor of national bank bills will be
the first great step toward the restoration
of confidence and the consequent return Of
so-calcd specie payment.

the cost over such Indebtedness, lust as
the Interest which any real estate owncr
whose property Is mortgaged has in such
property is its value over and above the
amount of the mortgage This value is.
of course, variable, based upon the income
that may be derived from it and so Is
railroad property increased in value by
increased capacity for earning but, as in
the case OF the proper rental value of the
real property, this is determined in the
open market, where no exceptional con-
ditions of supply and demand exist, but
only fair return Is sought for, by its es-
tlmated value, free of all encumbrances,
the interest on the mortgage to be borne by
the lessor and not be an additional charge
upon the lessee; so also in the case of rail
road property should the burden of its in
debtedness be borne by the stockholders,
the owners thereof, and the interest ac-
count substracted from the dividend ac-
count, and not assessed upon shippers in
the form of exorbitant freight charges.
This is what constitutes extOrton, and is
justly complained of by the farmers of the
west, but for whose necessities no such in
iquitous management could be sustained.
The proper relation in this connection be-
tween freight charges, interest account and
dividends to stockholders, to bring this
veXed question wholly within the range of
FAIR MORALITY
and just medium as between shipper and
carrier is as follows The apportionmcnt
of freight charges 1--WE include in the
phrase all traffic, that is passengers as well
as freight,) so that the net earnings may be
sufficient to pay the interest on the general
Indebtedness, provide for sinking fund
and fair and reasonable dividend on an
amount of stock equal to the difference be-
tween such debt and the cost of the road
and equipment, to be distributed pro rata
upon the nominal stock. This would rem
der innocuous, so far as shippers are con-
cerned, the practice of watering stock nso-
much that watered stock would be then at
the expense of the stockholders and would
remove the the temptation t. so water
stock.
In the departure from true principles of
economic administration and honest direc-
ton, as between the people who granted
these franchises and the railroads that en-
joy them, do we find very sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of the prolonged dulness and
weakness on the Stock Exchange as the re-
suit of panic SO circumscrbed in its eff
fects.

SMITHS STORY
that he came from Utica is probably false.
1t is also apparent that the woman was no,

was stopping at the hotel during her illness,
that she was born in Dresden, that hei
father is principal of seminary there, and
that she had brother in Philadelphia who
is "A physician. His name is James II

Mrs. Smith had gold watch and chain
and two or three rings on her fingers, be
sides other jcwelry, but everything of value
was carried away by Smith.
Smith was last seen in Pierce's saloon in
Pcekskill at o'clock on Sunday night
He had large amount of money, some say
as much as $500, in $50 and $50 notes
lie also had Il watch attached to a lady's

going TO New York on the milk train; his
wife was sick at the hotel, and he was going

Mr.. Wright is confident that the money
which he exhibited was stolen from the
woman after her death. Mr.. Wright say,
that Smith accidentally dropped stop-ovei

which was good Tor one week, and whei
asked why he stopped in Peekskill after

by asking the landlord to take drink, a.
