The Gold Snriekers.

People possessed Of moderate share of
common sense were aware that the initiation
OF paper money had reduced its purchas-
ing power as much as so or 40 per cert. in
general commodities, and that to bring in
the conditions which would make specie
redemption practicable, the currency must
appreciate as much as it had depreciated-
that is TO say, its purchasing power must
bO increased 80 or 40 per cent which means
that general commodites must decline in
this degree. That has been the effect OF
the resumption act. Prices have in the av-
erage declined 80 or 40 per cent. They
who write for the information of the pub.
lie, and who did not know that this would
be the effect OF resumption, and who vet
called for resumption should lay down the
editorial pen, and seek more fitting yoca-
have suffered all the distress, confscation
and business paralysis of falling prices I'm

were clamorous for resumption because it
would appreciate the currency, now Shrek

ated 40 per cent, and that, unless we can

NEW FREIGHT LINE.
II Is Formed for the Purpose OF Making
IL Warm for Vanderbilt.

Tom. Scott, OF the Pennsylvania com
pany, has loAs desired TO make il hot for
Vanderbilt, and he was not alone in this
desire, as there were several other powerful
corporations in the same boat, notceably
the Wabash, Erie and Atlantic q Great
Western.
These lines, or their managers rather,
put their heads together about two months
ago. and then conceived gigantic scheme
which has been Matching ever since and
came to a irution last week, during the
meeting Of the railroad magnates in Chi
cago.
The scheme was nothing more nor less
than the formation Of fast freight line TO
carry freight in bulk from ST. Louis to
New York.
A coalition has been formed between the
Pennsylvania Co. and the Erie, Atlantic
& Great Western and the Wabash, and n
line has been formed which will be known
as the "Wabash and Erie Dispatch, Mans.
field Route" and Mr.. A, w. Cotton, OF To-
ledo, has been appointed General Manager
which will locate the headquarters of the
line in this city.
The project is just getting into shape
and the line will soon he in operation
The stationery is now being printed, and
that the coalition means business will be
seen from the fact that the Wabash fur
ishes five hundred cars. the Pennsylvania
company two hundred, the Erie one thou,
sand, and more are coming. These cars al
hoist cars, 80 that although the line is com
posed of both broad and standard guagC
roads, freight can be transported from St
Louis to New York without breaking bulk
the bodies of the cars being lifted of of one
pair of trucks and transferred TO another
by means Of derricks at Mansfield.
This line is Of inealcuable value to th'
Wabash road, which il headed of ut thi
point by Vanderbilt. aud will have her,
"a New York connection from 81. Louis IA
heiter than the proposed one by the Crane
Trunk. The other roads will also get
SCOOP" on Vanderbilt by this line, as /
proposed TO make time which the Wander
bilt lines can not.
The coalition was formed under tn
"any thing 10 beat Vanderbilt" cry, an'
as the COMPANIES are all strong ones the,
will be likely 10 make Mr. Vanderbilt ri
around pretty lively.
II isexpoeted that there will be at leas
one hundred loaded cars per day receive,
at this point by this line. and a largely in
creased clerical force will he neceessnry 4
wrestle with the extra business that wal
occur.
Just who we're Scott's lieutenunts In thi
scheme is not known, but itshows Hopkin
ear-marka pretty strongly.
With Scott, Hopkins, Erie aud A. & G
w. TO 6ght, Vanderbilt will have a bus
time OF it, Toledo Commercial.

Many of the large commercial firms Of
the United States are discovering from ex-
perience that doing business through
" drummers" Is n very costly way of doing
business, and is not fitted for hard times.
Several first-cass firms in New York are
reported to have already dispensed with
their travellers, putting part OF the money
thereby saved into advertising, and giving
their customers the remainder. Milwau-
kee is following suit, and one case is men,
toned in Chicago, where a grocery house,
some months ago, had employed sixteen
drummers,at yearly cost Of $4,000. This
house abandoned the system spent por-
tion of the money in advertising, marked
down their goods, and MS result, instead
OF doing prohtless business, as under the
old system, their net profits for the year
were $4,000.

A Banker Interviewed.

In an interview with Mr.. Robert Bliss,

the following, as the rules which are to
govern the banks of that city.
"Suppose am deposltor, and on jan
uary I'd, l879 offer for deposit in your
bank fifty trade silver dollars, will they be
refused ?"
mo; we would take them as n special
deposit to be paid in the same coin. Trade
dollars, by the way, would not be received
at all except as a special deposit, for they
are not legal tender"
"IIow would it be with lifty iull coinage
dollars ?"
"We should receive them, to be paid of
in the same coin"
How il offer subsidiary silver coin ?'
1--WE should not take it at all, that is,not
over five dollars to make change"
Suppose ! am dealer and present q
check for $500 ON January 2nd, 1879, and
ask for gold, shall get it?'
Yes, ii the government resumes"
How will the daily banking in the City
Of New York differ, if at all, from the
banking in 1862"
at won't differ any ; it will he Just as
il was then, only its volume will be largely
increased"
Are the national banks likely to retire
their one and two dollar bills after re-
sumption ?"
Not if they can help II not unless
| they are compelled to, for they are very
great convenience. 1t depends entirely
upon the action Of the government upol
| the silver bill"

Silver was worth 80! pence per OF. at the
latest quotations of the London markets.
This makes our silver dollar worth frao.

cents, the quarter little less than 20 cents
and the dime less than cents. Some
body (7) makes one dollar out Of every five
coined at our mints, which is all wrong.
