Vico-prcsidont Wheolock, we're road by him to

announcements about s8,oo0,0 900 Of tho stocks
Of tho two roads were sold ut falling price by
tho panicky mombeEs. It required but few
moments investigation by the cool-headod ones
to discover that tho signatures we're forged aud

There was onco man who lived by ltt1o

but at Soma distance below It formed deer,
pool, by Which anothor man lived. Tho first
man thought 1t WAS not right that tho second
should have 80 much watcr wlion ho Ind 40 little,
40 ho dipped n pailful out Of tho pond and
poured 1t into tho brook In front Of ha lo,lso.
But to his great surprise 1t at onco ran down
into tho pond again, and loft tho uppor part Of
tho brook as shallow as ever. This foolish man
showed tho precise amount Of wisdom exhibited
by oortain Senators who aro 30 anxious to pass
tho bill taking 925, 900, 900 Of National Bank our
rency from tho Eaat and distributing 1t through
tho Wcst. II this Ia done, it will DO pouring tho
pallful into the brook, and will DO procisoly as
permanent in its effects. Water runs whero tho
ground Is lowest, and just aa surely money
FunH where interest IL really highest. We say
really highost, for tho nominal rates Of Kapsas,
for instance, aro much higher than those
OF Now York, but tho greater risk moro than
countorbalances tho difference. Money cau DO
used in tho city bettor than In the country;
hence 1t oolleota IN cities It can bo used in Now
York better than in most cities honco 1t collects
in Now York. A lollar-noto gains no mysterious
property, by bo1ng paid ovor a California co,n-
tor, that prevents its going East or keeps It cir
cu1ating in the Wost. When National Bank is
wound up, its notea are aont in for redemption
from the wholo country. Senator Dogy HeomH to

We published yeatorday tho results Of in
quirios by the employment branch Of tho Re-
lief md Aid Society. Tho number Of establish
mentB reported was liz, not including tho 1um.
bor-yards. We have counted the numbora thus
given OF lands usually employed in these ostsl-
Aahmonts and tho number employed at tho time
theBo reports wero collected In January md
February. Tho number givon as usually en-
ployed was $4,000, and tue number at work, say.
On tho 1es Of February, was 1888, leaving
8,8l2 out Of usual employment. This docs not
include those laborora whose employment al-
ways stops when the winter aotB In. This TO-
port Of tho Labor Bureau is, however, to dato
several woeks past. It represents fraction
over two-tlirds Of tito mon then ut work,
This is subject to tho modification that in
some instances they wore at work On one-llaH
or threo-fourtha time only, aud that throo-
foartls Of them we're at work on wages reduced
from to 20 por cent. While tho report is sub
iect to this qualification on tho one hand, It
should bo added TINT OIL Monday, Feb. 1e, soy-
oral hundred additional hands wero to be taken
back, and that on the 1st Of March nearly all
would be re-omp1oyed. On tho opening of nay;-
CATION, which this yoar promises to DO much
earlier than usual, tho lumbor-yards will giyo
employment to the thousand or moro mon WIN
arc engaged in them during tho seaHon Of nayi-
CATION. Those employed in building will also
resume work this year much sooner than usual,
Assuming that tho condition OF tho other en-
ployors Of skilled labor ia about tho samo az
those whose namea woro reported yesterday, wo
find that tho combined offcct of tho panic and
tho winter closed but very fou establishments,
and that, of those which did suspend, the great
majority resumed in q fow weeks, with limin-
ished numhor Of hands, but hayo steadily in
creased their buslnoss, and by tho 1st Of March
will generally haye the full number of mon at
work. Tho reduction Of wages was a necessity
as we'll as tho reduction Of the number Of Dor
Hons employed; tho main thing sought was to
find employment at oil, mud tue supply of
laborers being greater than the demand, and the
profits Of employers boing greatly reduced, q
reduction OF wages was inevitable. Tho en-
ployors have beon asstduous In giving all tho
work they could and to aB many Of their old
hands as possible. As soon az they can find
employment for all, and sales for their pro-
ducts, thoro will, Of course, DO slow but cer-
tain restoration Of wages.
1t will bo gratifying to know that in many
cases tho manufacturers report the prospect Of
a larger trade during tho coming soaaon than in
tho past, and, as the money market is growing
easier daily, wo hayo no doubt that this OK
peotation is we'll founded. kThe business Of 1874,
especially tint giving remunoratiyo wages to
labor, will be largely in excess of that Of past
years, except, perhaps, in tho building trado, but
even IN this limo the cheapness Of building ma
terial will Offset to some extent tho dullness in
That branch OF industry.

THE WAREHOUSE MONOPOLY IN MINNIE

Three mon, Delano, Davidson, and Kyle, own
all tho warehouses on tho line Of tie st. Paul

agreed to build no grain houses along the line
itself, to allow nobody olao to do 80, mud to re-
coiVo no grain west OF Minneapolis from any

They get centa per busAel for handling tho
grain, aud half cent more for every nfteon
days. storage aftor the first ten days. ALI tho
grain is rehandled In tho elevators at St. Paul or
minneapolis, and these charges are again lowed.
Tho Company col1eota them and remits to tho
warolouaomon. Such rigid monopoly las, of
course, been burden. The warehouses ara
few and small; tho charges arc many
and largo. During the Investigation In

THE SMOKE NUISANCE,

In tho rebuilding Of Chicago, tho capacities
and convenioncios for tho smoke nuisance
havo boon greatly inereased.- and the city Ia
gradually becoming, second Pittsburgh. The
number Of manufactures has increaaed, and,
with barely two or three exceptions thoy are
emitting doneo volumes OF aoft-coal emoke from
morning to night. Tho hotols aro getting to DO
ns bad as tho manufactures. In addition to this,
nearly all tho now buildings arc now furnished
with elevators, operated by steam, and this adds
greatly to the volume Of smoke, which hangs
over md sottle8 down upon the city. Already
our now and elegant buildings begin to look old
and dingy from the effects of the smoke and SCOT
which backens thom, and notwithstanding tho
Immediate proximity Of Lako Michigan, person.
al cleanliness is good Ways of from godliuoss
in Chicago. So dense ia this volume Of smoke
TINT, unless there Is brisk, stirring breoz tho
whole Of 1t aottlcs down in tho central part Of
the city and loavea its dirty imprint.
Every man who hos chimney bolching forth
smoke is committing nuisance which should
bo peremptorily abatod by law. There is no
necessity for it, and no oxcuse for 1t. scienco
has demonstrated that smoke can be consumed,
and already there aro two or three methods OF
doing 1t which operate with perfect succeBs
They work no Inconvenience to machinery, aro
simple In operation, and comparatively inoxpen-
sive. In viow Of these facts, and especially con-
sidering that the smoke nuisance is growing
woreo almost oycry day, every ownor Of n stoau-
engine in the city should bo compelled to use
one Of these appliancos. In London, their uso is
compelled by law, aad there is no reaaon
why 1t should not bo IN Chicago also. If it ia
not done, tho city will shortly be blackoned in
appearance, new Us it is, and grow moro un-
healthy. What is to DO done should be dono
quickly, il tho boauty and cleanliness Of tho city
aro worth preserving. The Common Council
cannot pass an ordinance which would bo moro
acceptable than one to secure us healthy Ut
mosphore, pure air, clean streets, clean build
ings, and clean people. When tho means for &C.
curing this result IRE 40 cheap and simple, it is
the height of folly to 60 dirty any longer.
