The Wreck of the City of Columbus


''oUR GEORGE" CONTRIBUTES SOME FACTS
CONCERNING THE ILL-FATED STEAMER.
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. Feel
ing that any information in relation TO the ill
fated steamer, City of Columbus, will be of in
terest to your readers, and having but recently
made passage on her from Savannah to Boston,
| thought perhaps | could give some facts about
the steamer. which from the accounts | have
read do not appear very clear to me, and
therefore cannot be to others who have never
seen her.
| had letter of introduction from the com
pany's office to Capt. Wright, which gave me
better opportunity to form his acquaintance
than | should otherwise have had then, as it
was my intention to write letter giving an ac-
count of my trip from Savannah to Boston, |
asked the Capt. good many questions, in my
capacity as Il newspaper correspondent, y
which | should not have done under other cir
cumstances.
| was on the steamer four days, and every
day was in the pilot house by invitation of Capt
right. do not know that | ever met man.
who looked after his business sharper than be
did. His room was directly aft the pilot house
with door opening into in, and as the deck
fell oil there was Il step from the pilot house to
the Captains room. The door was ALWAYS
open when | was in the room Both rooms
We're heated by steam. In the corner of Capt
Wright room was bed, and opposite the door
was Il lounge. | remarked one dav to the Capt
that his room was not far from the pilot house.
1T is far enough said he, Il wish it was all
one room" also joked him about the ap-
pearance of his bed which was nicely made
up with shams and lambrequins but on
which was laid compass, il quadrant aud
some charts. | told him that it did not look as
if he occupied it much. He said II never 20
to bed from the time leave port till get in
again. What little sleep get, is b. turning in
with my clothes on, on that lounge" He told
me that one trip, tWhen the propeller broke,
Think that he did not get wink Of sleep for
the Whole trip. He seemed to be constantly
attending to his duty, and cannot think of 4
man, in whose keeping / would trust my life
sooner than in Capt Wright'>. The newspaper
accounts speak of hi. gong below" and turn
my in.' All he had 10 do, to go below" and
turn M was simply to step into his room aud
lie down On the lounge, which wa, not ID feet
from the wheel. In bad weather, he often h4d
his meals taken into the pilot house. where he
ate them.

some important statistics relating to the
business of the country, from the census of
1880, are just published. 1t appears that the
aggregate wealth of the United States in 1880
was S43,G42,OO0,0OO that the total amount of
capital invested in business was IS, III 900 900,
and the number of persons engaged in business
was 103,32S Twenty-Five per cent. of all the

The Prog Age and other Democratic free
trade papers have good deal to say against the
"w;r tariff, forgetting, or else ignorant of the
fact, that it was the Internal Revenue system.
and not the protective tariff, that was forced
upon us by the war. The Iron and Steel Bull
letln thus exposes the hollowness of the war
tariff faIlacy:
MI: Hewitt lnaccurately speaks of 1.-THE war
tariff" abiding to the tariff of the last few
years. The wool tariff of 1866 was not Il war
lariti surely; nor was the general revision of
duties that was embodied in the Schenck bin of
1870, and which continued without substantial
change until 1888, war tariff. The war ended
IN 1860. The late Tariff Commission made the
same mistake Of referring to the Schenck tariff
OF 1870 as Il war tariff. 1t was nothing of the
kind. 1t was enacted five years after the war
had closed.
The Republican journal., 1884-01-24

The editor of the Prog. Age has frequently
called attention to his massive intellect, unkind-
ly contrasting it with what he considers the
lesser mental qualifications of others Come to
think of it, we can trace a similarity between
our contemporary and Daniel Webster. The
great orator could not get nomination for the
presidency; and our contemporary is in the
same fix. We do not think the resemblance ex-
tends further

Washington exchange says that Congress
man Miliken has received letters from New
York commercial clubs and others, expressing
preference for his bill for the repeal of com.
pulsory pilotage over any which has been in
troduced, and urging its passage.
The Republican journal., 1884-01-24

Mention OF the fact that the editor of the
Prog. Age had been omitted from a list of
Democratic aspirants for the nomination for
Governor of Maine, seems to have had the same
effect on that gentleman that is produced by
puncturing an inflated balloon. We instructive
ly held our nose when we read his raseous re-
Jolnder, which is pervaded with the odor of
stale eggs and could only have emanated from
a soured disposition.

his views on the financial question. We sum-
Marie them As follows: First, he would make
the silver dollar the unit of value Secondly.
free coinage of silver dollars and the issuing Of
certificates for the full amount of gold and
silver coin owned by the government. Thirdly
the gradual extinction of the national bank
circulation' substituting therefor full legal
tender greenbacks. Mr.. Smart also proposes
that commission of tinanciers should be APP
pointed by the President to report TO Congress
'the amount of money needed for the success
full transaction of the business of the country"
and that law be enacted limiting the issue of
greenback> to the amount agreed upon. In his
opinion, about $40 per capita, or s. 100000 for
the country, would be the correct figures.
