Loneliness Of the Ocean.

One who has never travelled upon
the ocean expects to find it somewhat
thickly populated. He thinks ofthc
vast travel and tlaffic that goes over
the Wa.ers, and he is ready to imag-
inc that the great deep is alive with
this hurrying to and fro of nations
He reads Of lands whose commerce
whitens every sea-, and he is ready to
thinkthat tho ocean is as full Of sails
as the harbor Of some mighty me-
tropolis. But he fn,!s Ii is mistake.
As hcAlcaves the land, the ships begin
to gear; rs lie goes on his way
thet I'll vanish, and there is
n"thiSS sbont MIN but the El,a sSI
and the bl' nded sky. Some,, nes he
may meet or ovcrtakc 2 ..ltarv snip
through 'hs day; but then again,
there will be many days when not n
single ,sail will be seen. There are
spaces; measured by thousands of
miles, over which no ship has ever
passed. The idea ola nations COM
merce whitening every sea is the wild :
est fancy. Ifal the ships that ever
have Jeen built were brought togcth-
er in a, single fleet, they would fill but
q hands breadth Of the ocean. The
space, therefore, that man and his
orks occupy OH tho sea is so small in
its extent thut the hold on it by his
power is slight aud superficial. Both
together are as nothing. The ocea
covers -fourths Of the surface
of the globe; and by far the greater
portion of this vast expanse is, and
ever has been, free from mans pre-
sence and visitation.

limited legal tender, should be retained
where it now is as far as possible, and
restored where it has ceased to exist.
Second. The use of both gold and
silver as an unlimited legal tender
money may be safely adopted; first, by
equalizing them at relations liked by
internal agreement; and second by
granting to each metal at the relation
fixed, equal terms Of coinage, and
making no discrimination between
them.
On the 22d, Mr.. Walker, of the Amer
lean delegation. made a long speech,
pointing out the serious consequences
Of demonetizing silver. Mr.. Horton
also addressed the conference. He re-
PEELED the accusation that the United
States came to the congress with anti
quated theories, which were only sup
ported by nations having forced paper
currency. He said the point to be
ascertained was whether the powers
considered it advantageous to concert
together upon the conditions of their
silver currency. The question was then
raised whether the conference should
again adjourn. Governor Fenton de-
cided there had never been a more i'm
portant question than that under dis
cussion. The American delegates had
crossed the ocean to discuss it exclusive
ly. 1t would be greatly to be regretted
if this were not done. The American
delegates had still many things to say
Leon Say announced that Germany had
declined with thanks the invitation tc
participate in the congress.
Mr.. Walker argued that the gold
standard was condemned by the expert
ence of the last few years The confer
ence Of 1866 committed great mistake
in proclaiming crusade against silver
fer the sake Of international coinage
Only two or three countries were able
to maintain sufficient gold circulation
the others would be driven to clrcula,
ton in which silver would preponder
ate leloW its nominal value. The Swed
ish and Swiss representative disputed
Mr. Walkers argument. The confer.
ence adjourned one week.

The Accelerated Decline of Bank Capital.
New York journal of Commerce.


A table compiled by MrW. A. Camp,
manager of the New York clearing
house, and presented to the bankers
convention at Syracuse by Mr.. ]. d.
Vermilye, president Of the Merchants
National bank, made a sensation there.
The total decrease in the capital Of the
New York city banks since 1S73-in-
Guiding the reductions of the Mer-
chants and New York, not included in
Mr. Camps tables-now amounts to
$21 $4,000. The decline in surplus
during the same period was S10,773, 800,
and making an entire shrinkage of cap
ital and surplus of not less than $32,-
752, 800. Let no easy-going soul fatter
himself that the worst has happened
that there will be no more shrinkages
of bank capital-that the taxes have
done all the harm they can do. The
figures teach the contrary of this. We
find rapid acceleration in the decrease
of capital since it began, from 1873 to
1875 it was only S4,000,000. But be-
tween 1875 and the present year, the
decline was about S18,OOO,OOO; and the
greatest of all has been between 1877
and rs, fully $11,000,O00. We reason,
therefore, that the reduction of capital
by the banks will 60 on, and the results
be far more injurious than any hitherto
felt, until this dreadful dead weight of
taxes is thrown off in obedience to the
demands of the people taught in the
bitter school of their own experience.
