Freight agents are an economical class OF
gentlemen, who know how to live at the rate
of $4,000 year ON a $4,000 salary. We
have known them to build $780, 900 houses at
the same time. They generally say that it
Is good luck in outside ventures, silver
mines, stocks or something of that sort.
The general manager or vlce-president has
his opportunities, too. We knew of one
who came to New York not many years ago,
an able man. He commanded $4,000 a
year, and for some time always anticipated
payday aud kept an O. U. In the cash
drawer for several hundred dollars. The
Standard on company succeeded finally in
making favorable contract with the rail-
road of which our friend was an officer. The
day after 1t was signed he paid up his |, o.
u, put large amount In the bank, and has
had more money than the company ever
since.
The supply-department is q great source
of private revenue, and purchasing agents
are never particular as to salary, in fact,
they usually donate that to the church or
give it to an orphan asylum.
The treasurer's position is one much
sought after, and he always gets his dividend
regularly, whether the STOCK holuer Goes OF
not. He is intimately connected with the
management, and always great friend of
the presidents. The negotiation of tempo
rary loans falls TO his lot and he usually pat
ronizes the bankers who may be on the board,
gives them plenty of security and 10 per
cent. commissions.
i Ii the line should happen to be on the 9th
er side of the river, the manager OF the fer
ries has chance. He Is usually sailor
like individual, who drives about town in a
buggy and over to Greenpolnt or Brooklyn,
etc., making contracts for putting old bot
toms into new boats and arranging other lit
| tie jobs.
| Secretary and passenger agents are usually
| less greedy; or, at any rate, they get less
because these positions do not govern Of
| control the opportunity. They get points
/ however, ON the business, and are taken III.
| to the pool for a turn in stocks on the effeci
| of the appointment of receiver, or the
| declaration of dividend, or some othel
| little items Of information.
! The auditor, Of course, has his broker
and the broker has his friends, and the bro
ker gets points from the auditor aud gives
them to his friends, who get profits out o.
the information, and divide with the audi
tor, and so on. A nice, safe little game
without much risk.

If year ago any one had ventured to en-
dorse the opinion of Lord Palmerston that
the Suez Canal would not be benefit to
British trade, he would have been thought
q simpleton. But a return of the British
Board of Trade just issued goes to show
that Lord Palmerston was not so far wrong
as has been supposed when he refrained
from aiding in the making of the canal.
The return proves that the only
gain to British traffic in point of ex-
pense is that by the Suez route the insur-
ance rates are one per cent. cheaper than by
the Cape The freight rates are the same By
both routes, and the saving in insurance is
due more to the substitution of steamers for
sailing vessels than to the greater safety of
the canal route-and this substitution would
have occurred in any event. The exorbi
tant charges of the Canal Company, namely,
ten shillings a ton, are the cause of the high
freight rates ria Suez. Not only has the
canal been of almost no benefit, but it has
done in one direction actual damage to
British trade. There is now direct trade be-
b"SSn ea4c 1aS1ibcii o'ican puts AM AH1ie "
the extent of $4,000, 900, which formerly
went to England, thence by the Cape to In
dia. On the whole, then, it appears that
England has rather lost than gained by the
opening up of De Lesseps's ditch. The in
ference to be drawn from this is that Eng
land wonld gain if the canal were destroyed.
Therefore 1t does not matter to England who
owns Egypt, for on necessity arising the
canal could be rendered impossible at a very
small cost. This being the case 1t is not
likely that the commercial classes Of priiais-
inc command OF the Isthmus.

Past, Present, and Future OF lmml'
grafton.

The influx of population into this country
is a fertile subject of self-gratulation to
Americans, and affords many interesting
speeulations as to the result on the habits
aud character of the American people. II
il estimated that since 1920. when the flow
of immigration, compared with Its present
magnitude, was but as brooklet to o river,
no fewer than 100000 foreigners have
made their homes In the great Republic. OF
this number Germany has furnished over
one-third and Ireland nearly as many. The
relative proportions of the different nation
aliiies is gradually undergoing change.
German emigrants are now most numerous
increasing; the Irish numerically hold a
fourth place, instead of first or second as
was the case not many years since. Eng
land, the Scandinavian peninsula, and Italy
send very large numbers of their population
to the United States. Scandinavia now
stands next to Germany in the number of
immigrants furnished to the Republic,
while England occupies third place.
The effect on the national character of so
vast an admixture of foreigners must be
great. It's nature, however, is difficult to
define. The language of the people has not
been, and is not likely to be, changed to any
appreciable extent; and whatever the inn
mediate results on political ideas and action,
one thing appears probable, and that is, that
the intermingling of SO many different ma
tionalities must tend to widen the national
characterize make it more receptive and
tolerant
The influx of population shows periods OF
full tide and abatement, with great and
general increase ON the whole. In 1920 but
little more than 5000 persons settled in the
country. The maximum of the great tide OF
the middle of the century was reached IN
1854, when 1883 immigrants landed al
American ports. The foil owing year showed
decrease of fifty per cent, and gradua
decline followed till 1864 A minimum
period existed in the first three years of tbs
civil war, when the average number
annually was but little over $4,000. The
tide began again to swell, till in 1878 the
record of 1854 was exceeded-the immi-
grants of the year numbering 1912 With
the depression in the Old and New World
the influx decreased again for five years, bu'
has returned in greater magnitude than ey
er. The following figures represent the EN-
igration of each year since 1s77:-

PREMIER Sagasta's announcement Of the
willingness Of the Spanish government to
enter into commercial reciprocity treaties
with other countries loses much of its Sig
nifcance from the proviso with which it is
coupled. The annexed condition is that
Spanish interests do not thereby suffer, and
as to his opinion upon the important ques-
ton whether those interests would or would
not be prejudieed by reciprocity arrange
ment, Senior Sagasta leaves the world in the
dark. 1t is tolerably safe and entirely reas-
enable to assume that there is no govern
ment which would not enter into reciprocity

ties were it once convinced as to the advan-

A SIGHT of the new two-cent postage
stamp, to be Introduced October 1st, calls to
mind the changes in the postal system OF
the last forty years. The Abijab, if he had
sweet Abigail 500 miles away, had to pay
Uncle Sam twenty-five cents to carry the
tender missive to his absent Dulcinea, and
IL she made reply the ardent Abijah must be
gallant and pay quarter more. Counting
was expensive in those early days, and when
a gallant swain won fair damsel the twain
were joined together for better or for
worse. The divorce market was very dull
in those staid old years. Then every letter
sent was entered on way bill which was
transmitted with the letter. The changes
iu the rates of postage and methods Of dis
tribution are no more marvellous than those
that have occurred in other departments Of
the natural and scientific world. Railroads,
steamships, telegraphs, gaslights, sewing
machines, storm plows, dynamite. nitro
Elycerine, friction, matches, steam monitors
vapor engines, California gold, oil wells
canned fruits, electric lights, telephones, and
the other ten thousand helpful aids to labor
or panderers to luxury are all inventions or
discoveries made during the last few years.
