The Proposed Ship Canal Lo.
ca1ly Considered.

The Centrevllle (Queen Annes coun-
ty) Record discusses tho question of n
ship canal across the Eastern Shore mem
insula from local point of view. That
paper is for the canal in any event, and
though not Indifferent to the inter State
interest that woald be benefited by its
conttruction, or TO the advantages TO be
derived from II as an interior water
way for the passage of naval vessels in
case of war, the Record undertakes to
give reasons "why every farmer. land
owner and business man should give it's
construction united and hearty support. !"
The local value of the ship canal, in the
estimation OF our cont mporary, would
be in the market it would provide for
the products of the peninsula, aud in the
Increased worth of flands within easy dis
lance OF the line of route. There is one
point the Record makes which cannot
be too often enforced.
Assuming that the mo t available
southern route will receive the approval
OF the engineers, canal by way of
Queenstown or the Choptank river direct
to The Breakwater at Lewes would need
neither locks, feeders, or force pumps,
but would be In effect a river joining tue
two bays now divided by the peninsula,
IL would be a salt water canal, and, de-
bouchlng 30 close to the ocean, would

FIFTH EDITION.
On The Eve OF Resumption.

Twice within period of five years
namely, between 1877 and 1921, the Banl
of England undertook TO resume specie
payments. One attempt resulted In fail.
ure, while more complete preparation
subsequently, insured success. The day
fixed for the restoration of the specie
standard in the United States is now at
hand, and in view of the precedents just
named, 1t becomes question Of much
interest how far the resources of the
Treasury, as defined in It's latest state
ment, and as supplemented by the recent
action of the New York and Boston
banks, will prove adequate TO the occa-
sion.
The total amount Of coin and bullion
i'll the country at this time is estimated
at the Mint at more than 1855, 900, 900.
Of this aggregate the Treasury Depart
msnt now holds, according 10 report
submitted TO Congress two weeks ago,
Sl40,OO0,0OO in coin. This reserve is
equal TO rather more than forty per cent.
OF the entire issues of legal tender-notes.
Obviously this provision would be insult
ficient, provided all the notes, or large
majority OF them, were presented for re-
uShPbiob' ANoW ~ 81 udpicun tHdL tnt
proportion of gold TO paper above stated
corresponds almost exactly TO that exhiJ-
tied by the Bank of England when it
undertook its unsuccessful scheme of re-
sumption in 1917. But the conditions
under which the experiment will be
made on Jan. /, 1879, differ ia several
important, ID, in our judgement, decl-
siye features.
We do not NV refer to certain re-
sources on which some stress has been
land, but recourse 10 which might posi-
bly, be iollowe by un oward conss-
quenets. Should tue quantity of legal
tender notes presented for redemption be
unexpectedly large, aud thrsa.en the
complete depletion Of the coin uepo its
thus far collected, here Is no doubt that
The Secretary may legally reissue the re-
deemed notes in return Tor flesh acces-
81 )us Of gold. Bot il is plain that his
appearas ce in tue market fer such pur-
pose would at once reveal to the commu-
nifty the weakness OF the Treasury, aud
would gravely disturb the exciting rela-
ton between gold aud the currency, IT.,
indeed,it did not esgender veritable
panic.-N. Y. Sun.

They will. be precisely The size of q five

bond The smallness of their size and
denomination will cause them to be

six years aud cannot be sold at less than

This is the first attempt of Southern
State to float bonds at as low rate
as four per cent; but IL Is alrea ly
ascertained that these bonds will 20 rap
idly. Nearly the whole loan has already
been bespoken. They will be issued in
the month of January, TO meet the Nut
ting bonds, which will fall due on Feb

will supplant a series of eight per cent,
