 The rate of income to be derived from the above mentioned stocks has remained the same during this enormoas shrinkags And these stocks are very largely held by inves- tors who own them for the income which they return. The decline in tho non-divi- dend paying stocks, which are of a more speculative nature and are held more by per- sons who have bought them expecting to sell at profit, is also enormous. For instance, the shrinksge in the market value of the cap Ital stock of the Louisville and Nashville rail road company is some $15, ,00O, ,O0o; of the Missouri Kansas and Texas $18, ,9oo, ,OoO Denver and Rio Grande $30, 300, GOO, Erie $17, ,0Oe, COG, Ontario and Western $12, 8oO,- 900, Northern Pacific stocks (comnaon and preferred) $2o, GOO, 900, Ohio and Miasissippi @12, 2,8Oo, ,e0O, Texas Pacific $15,0oo, 900, Wabash (preferred and common) $25, ,Ooo,- 900, to say nothing of the decline in the prices of the bonds of railroad companies.
 Yet all this shrinking has been going on without any particular distress, which is something remarkable, and may be account cd for by the fact that the loss has been dis tributed among several sets of buyers. Then, too, for some time past, people have not been satisfied with the managers of the rail- roads whose stocks are most dealt in in Wall street, and have declined to put their money into the huge and mysterious corporations and have left the market to the professional operators. They have preferred to invest in smaller companies, whose managers they have some faith in. That this is SO is indi- cated by the prices of such stock as the New York, New Haven and Hartford, Naugatuck, Housatonic, Boston and Providence, Bo ton and Albany. When any of these stocks are offered for sale there are always eager buy CTS for them. as it Is not believed that their managers will do anything to the detriment of the interests of the stockholders, or for the purpose of affecting the market value of the stocks. The well known saying, "A burnt child dreads the are," can be applied here. A person who has once lost money through the decline of any particular stock will seldom purchase that stock again, how ever much 1t has declined CT cheap it may seem to be. These are some of the reasons for the decline In stocks, and 1t Is probable that the liquidation will continue until such time ss the prices shall be low enough to tempt capitalists to again enter the stock mSFket and take some of the stocks out of tL ast and lsck them up in their strong boE>

LIQUIDATION.


 The liquidation new going on in the stocks of the railroad companies of the United States is only what might have been expected after the boom which prices had few years ago. How much longer that liquidation will go on remains to be seen, but the prices of some opinion that they are low enough and that with our abundant crops, now assured, large- ly increased railroad earnings and business generally good throughout the country the prices of sound stocks will soon improve. The following comparisons of the prices of few stocks will show the large decrease of their market value since 1881:

The Human Hide Industry.
 Mr. William Muller, tanner, of the firm of Muller Brothers, has made the following statement to @ newspaper reporter in regard to the human hide industry" in Massachu- setss: ''I am glad" said MT. Muller, 'to have an opportunity of refuting Governor Buffers statements about the human hide business in this State. Governor Butler has made so loud noise over Tewksbury leather and Tewksbury shoes, and has tried to make 80 much capital out of the human industry as he calls it. that it is certainly time to let the public know the truth of tke matter. I tanned at my factory the three pieces of skin which Governor Butler had in his possession before he cut up certain small pieces to dis tribute among his friends. I suppose he still has most of the leather. The pieces
 were brought to me by friend, at the re quest of 8 medical student, who wanted them tanned merely as 8 scientific expert ment and with that understanding I agreed to accommodate him. That which Governor Butler secured is all the human skin which ever entered or left our tannery. Notwith-
 standing Governor Buffers assertion that the tanning of human skin has become an Sn- dustry,' know that no other tannery in this State ever worked on any except small pieces,
 and it has never been done except for scien- tifio purposes. never asked nor received Q
 cent of money for tanning the skin," contin-
 ued MT. Muller, ssnor did tan it on halves, as they QO In vermont ana New damp6l1fo, as Governor Butler tried to make the Tewks-
 bury committee believe during the hearing.
 So it's very hard to see where the industry
 part appears. And about that famous
 Tewksbury shoe in the Washington street
 window, D said MT. Muller, 'sthere is no more
 human skin about that than there is about Q
 buffalo robe. Governor Butler could satisfy
 himself of this, If he wanted to, by eompar
 ing some of his human leather with 1t. That shoe was made of dog skin, which the pro-
 prietoE of the store, as he himself acknowl-
 edges, got frsm me- and the claim that there Is particle of human hide about it is de liberate reinstatement. If Governor Butler
 doesn't believe this, lst him, as suggested, compare his Tewksbury leather with it. He has a corner on all the human skin in Massa' chusetts, and is the only man who can make she comparison. I only wish had as much of corner on caIfskin. A corner is great thing. If Governor Butler ever travelled in Germany" !" said the tanner, the has proba- bly seen or heard of the feather general, whoae body was prepared. tanned and exhib- lied He hasn't been exhibited quite so largely as General Buffers specimens, but nobody ever thought of raising a row over
 the scientific experiment., and charging the tanners with dealing in dead mems skins. No, sir; General Buffers cry won't amount to much with voters, because his charges are
 false. What I've said is the whole truth,
 and Pm willing to swear to it. .'

The following thrilling tale is part of the stock of 2 Massachusetts Republican stump speaker went hunting last spring and a fearful storm came on and I hid myself in the hollow trunk of tree. The rain poured in torrents and to my horror I discovered that the tree was swelling and comprsssing itself inside so that I felt myself being caught in its embrace. Soon I could hardly move, and I tried in vain to crawl out of the hole, but was fast. concluded that my time had come and began to think of the whole of my past life. The deeds of years rolled through my mind. Last and finally the thought came that voted for Butler last year. When that took hold of mo felt so small that without the least apparent effort shook of the death enbrace of the tree and found myself free again and went forth to meet my friends once more.
