How GOuld's Riches Increase.

The wonderful railway autocrat is in
creasing his empire at the rate of a half
dozen millions a year, the latest acquisi-
ton being the Elevated Road. He found
the stock selling at an attractive figure
and at once purchased a controlling in
terest. As soon as this was known uuo-
tations began to advance. Gould now
controis the longest and shortest steam
roads in America-the Union Pacific on
the one hand and The New York Elevated
on the other. Everybody now predicts
that he will bring the latter out of all its
difficulties. but this is labor which will
certainly test his genius to its extreme
capacity. He has also. had a tremen-
dous task in the New Jersey Central,
whose condition is not altogether salts

Gath" quotes a Senator as saying
that:-'.if there is a financial panic
before the next election a man will be
chosen President whe favors confsca-
ting the railroads to the people" 1t
is not complimentary to our present
system Of finance that even its staun-
chest advocates expects that it will be
attended by periods of depression,
panic and the consequent business ru.
in. We will venture the assertion
that the Senator, quoted by Gath,
prophecied truly in relation to rail-
roads, and that at the same time this
President will favor a correct system
Of finance which takes the control o.
thecurrency from privare corporations
and places it in the hands of the peo.

WHOM Do THEY SERVE.

One Of the most unaccountable
characteristics Of Congressional
wisdom is the readiness in which
the average Congressman sees the en-:
tire practicability and excellence of
various schemes of refunding the ma
tional debt, provided they will pro-
mote the interests of the bond holders
and banks; and his utter inability to
discover even q trace Of those quail
ties in any device that can be made to
serve the honest interests Of the whole
nation.
The British Exchequor bills (or
treasury notes. though seemingly de-
vised to prevent their being extensive
iy used as currency, are, by virtue of
their being receivable for dues to the
government, during part of each
year, readily sold at par in gold, al
though they draw but a very low rate
sf interest. and that fixed from year to
year BY government proofs nation.
If our Congressmen are desirous Of
serving the interests of the masses, by
reducing the interests of the national
debt TO the lowest practicable rate,
they will find no difficulty in disposing
Of two per cent. interest hearing
Treasury nofes At par in gold, to any
extent they may see fit, even if re
deemable at government option, by
simply making them convenient fol
use as currency, and receivable for al
dues to the government. There is nc
danger Of such notes ever being used
to any great extent, either as curren
cy in trade, or for paying due

money is obtainabIe at moderate
rate of interest. Jbut there is danger il
another direction. Although the,
