From the Philadelphia North american !
A recent article in The Lon.
don Times, respecting The pro.
gress of our American hard.
ware manufactures, both
abroad and at home, had the
following paragraph:
"Not little interest and ap-
prehension have been excited
in the hardware district, of
which Birmingham Is the GEN.
ire, by advices lately TO hand
from New York respecting the
wonderful development of the
iron and hardware industries
OF the United States. The &C
curacy OF these advices is, in
deed, to some extent confirmed
by the serious diminution OF or
ders tor certain classes Of hard.
ware, the manufacturers OF
which have hitherto found in
the American market their
principal customers. Nor does
it appear that our rivals in the
States are content with satisfy
ing the requirements of their
market, for. their productions
are alreadysupplanting English
goods in Canada, and to some
extent in Australia and N ew
Zealand"
In order that this might not
be an exaggerated view of the
case the Times quoted "a well.
informed correspondent" of the
Birmingham Post writing from
from New York to this effect
"On one point the hardware
merchants Of New York are all
agreed, that the day for the sale
OF English hardware has almost
departed. In some few special
articles, such as pliers, etc., the
Germans will probably always
be able to undersell all COM
petitors; some English manu-
facturers of long established
repute, such as Rodgers' cut.
lery, Will always continue to be
in demand, but Tor the rest for
eign made hardware will soon
be unknown in this m market,
unless some unexpected turn
OF affairs changes for awhile
the course OF trade. And not
only is this country now com
petent to supply its own needs,
but every year it is gradually
increasing its exports of hard
ware TO Canada, to the South
American States, and to the
British Australian Colonies. In.
deed, it Is a very common
boast that IN a very short time
he superiority of Yankee skill
and ingenuity will force a mar.
ket in England itself for many
articles OF American hardware;
that Yankee cutlery will ap-
pear on English dinner tables,
and Yankee saws, augers, and
chisels be preferred by the car
penters of Birmingham and
Sheffield"

but that much decentralization
and injurious speculation and
gambling was caused by the
accumulation of capital in the
large cities by the payment of
interest on deposits during that
part of the year when money is
not required for moving pro.
ducts. This leads country
bankers, merchants and others,
TO deposit IN city banks, prin-
cipally in New York, to make
this money earn something du.
ring the period when they do
not wish 10 use 1t. Banks pay
ing interest on deposits can
not afford to hold money idle;
hence gambling in fancy stocks,
millions Of which would not
support a family even in the
most economical manner, and
the building of railroads that
are not wanted, and which can
not for years pay running ex-
peDseS, etc. Such gambling
and speculation had, he trusted,
received blow from which he
hoped they never would recov-
er.
The President SAID that un
less his mind should undergo a
change, he would recommend
a postofice bank. This would
give an institution in which ev.
erybody would have great con.
fidence, within reach of every
one who can approach a mon.
ey order postoffice. He should
recommend payment of 4 per
cent. to depositors, and the
conversion of deposits into
outstanding United States
bonds, or into new A per cent,
bonds, and the taking up of a
corresponding amount of those
outstanding.

A RECENT Postoffice decision
is that, if a Postmaster knows
that a letter addressed to his
Office is intended for a person
living within the delivery of
another Office, 1t is his duty to
forward such letter (if it has
been properly prepaid) with
out waiting for a request to do
so, and without additional
charge Of postage.

Why do people read advertisements
To see who is enterprising and to learn
what is going on. To see if there is
anything new, or anything that they
want. 40 see If the seasons styles
have come in, and to find out who has
them. To know if any one is selling
off at reduced rates, or TO watch the
chance of an auction. For amusement.
To satisfy curiosity. Because they
have read all the stories, marriages,
births, deaths, locals and accidents.
Because they want TO- Because they
can't help it.-Ohio Stale Journal

Northern Pacific Road.

Northern racine ROAD
Holders of bonds of the North
ern Pacific railway are natur-
ally anxious over the probable
effect of the suspension of Jay
Cooke & Go. on the value of
the bonds. For the benefit Of
these bondholders, and all 9th
ers interested IN The compile
tion Of this great railway en-
terprise, we append the state
ment OF Samuel Wilkeson,
Secretary OF the Northern Pa
cific railroad:
The Secretary, speaking of
the suspension of Jay Cooke
d Co., its financial agent, SAID
he had no doubt OF the future
OF the road. 1t would be con-
structed. There were those
supporting it who would
not allow it to be abandoned.
The board of directors alone
represented millions The CON-
pany had not a dollar of un
paid paper up to the present
time. Not a note of theirs was
ever seen in Wall street, and
not bond was hypolecated
by the company, consequently
the company had no liabilities
hanging over it that might de-
scend without warning. The
interest on the company's
bonds was not due until the
1st of January next, and it
would then undoubtedly be
met. That portion of the road
already built was earning
more than was anticipated
from it. That portion of it
running to the Red River
country had already developed
a fine carrying trade. He be-
lieved the road would be hind
cred more by hostile Sioux
than by financial revolution
Neither force, however, could
prevent the successful COM
p.etion of the road. Two OF
the members of the firm of
Jay Cooke & GO. were direct
ors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company. The re
suit will be that the work of
construction will be somewhat
retarded. 1t is more than prob
able Congress will be asked to
grant an extension of two
years to the company, beyond
that already granted, to enable
it to complete the road. No
such enterprise was ever be
fore attempted by private cap
italists-that Of constructing a
railroad 2,200 miles in length,
across an unsettled continent.
Congress should have come to
their aid by extending credit
TO the undertaking. 1t would
have done so but for the dema-
gogical cry that corporations
were grasping the entire do
main and overriding the rights
of the people.

The Presidents Views About
The Panic.

Every one in possession OF cur.
rency would rush 10 the banks
with it, or spend it IN a most
liberal manner, but now cur.
rency actually deprecated is
becoming daily more valuable.
In response to inquiry, he
said he thought he saw in pass
ing gevents the first steps toward
resumption, for the reason that
panics generally occur when
the country lacks pros
perity, such as from the failure
of crops, over-purchase from
abroad, etc. In this instance
the panic has occurred In the
midst of the greatest general
prosperity. The aid recently
rendered In the purchase of an
unusually large number Of
bonds was not so much real as
moral. The fact is, the Presi-
dent said, the money corpora
tions of the country had be-
come stampeded and in turn
startled and stampeded the
whole country. Had the Ma
tional Treasury seemed to aid
them IN some way, fright would
have become more general,
and the consequences to the
country were fatal. AS 1t was
he really believed the effec,
was going to be beneficial In
many ways to the country al
large, though the cost to some
individuals deserving of a bet
ter fate may be serious. The
return TO a specie basis can
never be effected, except by
shrlnkage Of values; the shrink
age has now taken place. Dis.
asters to individuals have al
ready overtaken them, and he
sincerely hoped the advantage
might be retained in order TO
reach a solid financial basis.
Already currency has appre-
ciated to about par with silver,
and be wondered why silver is
not now pouring out. When
this should take place, his the
ory was that the country could
absorb from two 10 three hun
DIRE d millions of 1T.
This would prove a great
benefit in several ways. 1t
would supply market tor a
number OF years lor the product
OF our mines, now becoming a
drug. 1t would take the place
Of $4O,OO0,OOO Of fractional cur,
rency, about the amount ol
change that experience has
proven to he necessary tor the
transaction of business, and
will become the currency
which will be boarded in small
amounts. He believed with
silver once more in circulation,
greenbacks would never be at
discount for silver. All fuc-
tuations from that point would
be in the appreciation of the
value Of our paper money.
As to legislation, the Presi-
dent said he had thought much
on the subject, and If he were
now engaged in writing his an.
nual message to Congress he
should recommend positive au-
thority to reissue $44,000,000
reserve, a free banking law
with the same protection to bill
holders, as now, a repeal of the
clause requiring a reserve for
the protection of depositors, a
percentage OF other reserves 10
re in gold, and that 1t should
be increased in regular ratio
until the whole reserve would
be In gold. This could be sole
ly effected by requiring such
institutions 20 save the whole
or a large percentage Of the
gold interest paid to the banks
on their bonds held by the
Treas of the United States
