Foolish Fears.

Wall street may cry "Wolf,"
"Woif!" until its cries bring the wolf.
That is certainly possibility. 1t is
shameful that all the business interests
ola great country such as this is should
be At the mercy Of financial tricksters,
who s'bull" gold and "bear" silver
from the beginning to the ending Of
every year. and from the Inauguration
of every new President Of the United
States until his successor relieves him
Of the cares Of Office.
We say these fears Of the monomctal-
lists arc foolish for il all the people
would cease worrying themselves about
possible decrease in the bullion value
of silver, and accept the standard dol
lars as being just what they purport to
be. business would soon revive, and the
country soon find itself as prosperous
and as happy as ever Il country was.
The facts are al against the theorists.
Here before us in the last issue Of
Brcdsireei's is monometallist's letter
containing the following significant
statement

The Hotel Porter on Finances.


The head porter of a summer resort hotel
enjoys peculiar facilities for forming judg-
ment as to the financial condition of the
country at different periods from the relative
condition of his pocketbook at the end of the
season for series of years. A man who
held this position at one of the most famous
hotels in the White Mountain region for
period of twenty-eight years before 1884 in
dulged the other day in some interesting re-
miniscences to a caller at the curiosity shop
which he now keeps. From nearly the be-
ginning of his service this porter had kept
careful record of his receipts for each sea-
son from the patrons of the hotel, his ar
rangement with the proprietor being that he
should discharge the duties Of the place and
take whatever he might get from the guests
as his pay. This record shows that the most
prosperous portion of his service was short
fy after the close of the war, from 1866 to
1868, his receipts in one of these years reach
ing the handsome total of $1,000 for the three
months and third that the hotel was open.
There was no material change until tho pan
ic of 1873 which sent his fees down rapidly
and steadily. The business boom of 1880
temporarily arrested this downward move
ment, but did not produce any. permanent
improvement in the balance sheet, which
showed only about $500 for the season Of
1888 1t should be explained that the por-
| ter's great prosperity was in part due to the
| much larger proportion of transient pat
ronage in the years just after the war,
fees being OF course mucn more nu-
merous when dozen people occupy the
| same room for few days apiece than when
| one person has it for number Of weeks, but
| the chief reason which the porter found for
| the change is the fact that people used to
| spend their money much more freely then
| than they do now" In the same way what
| most impresses him at present is the ire
| quent remark of people who are evidently
| well-to-do that they cannot afford to buy
| some particularly valuable curiosity, which
| in the old days they would have purchased
era of the hotel attendant in this country
| was from 1865 to 1873, and there are few

A Rumor that Jay Gould will Retire.

NEW YORK, Oct 2O-Washington E. Connor
is quoted as an authority for the denial of the
rllrnor that Jay Gould is about to retire from ac-
five business life Mr.. Connor certainly should
know. for he is Mr. Gould's right hand man, and
has charge of all his brokerage business and also
Wall street. Mr Connor does not deny the rumor
in toto and the impression is well founded that
Mr.. Gould is about to follow the plan of Cyrus W:
Field, who last summer gave up large share of
his business to his sons. Estimates of his fortune
are made now in Wall street, on the, rumor that
he is to retire. Nobody seems to know much
500 o0o. 900 are spoken of. OF course a little
discrepancy like fifteen or twenty millions does
not make any difference to man like Gould.
