Business in New York's great financial
center, Wall street, would be paralyzed
but for the loaning system in vogue
there. Comparatively small brokerage
concerns re luire as much as 81, 900, 900
at time to do their business. They put
up stocks and bonds as collateral. The
rule is to advance money TO the extent oil
about three quarters the market value OF
the securitie, pledged. If the prices Of
securities decline, the banks either re-
duce the loans or require an increase in
the collaterals. The system of certiiica-
tion makes il impossible to work oil
bogus check. Loose money IS never used
in transaction Everything is "done
on paper" The banks adjust the balances
of the brokers aud their own balances
are in turn ad usted through the medium
Of the clearing house. 1t is really sur
prising how little actual money IS usen
In the street. About all the money that
is seen in the Offices is TO pay clerks and
for the personal use Of members ot the
houses. Messenger boys and Office boys
run around all day with checks for hun
dreds Of thousands OF dollars in then
hands. Thieves do not snatch them, foi
they would be Of no more use than 50
much blank paper. Not dollar could
be secured on them. Such thing as Q
robbery is never heard Of in Wall street
nowadays That, il any place, ought to
be a thieves paradise, but | do not kno"
a place where gentlemen who help them
selves to other peoples property will hna
poorer picking.

The census of 1880 made it out that
50, 1876, 1888 persons inhabited the United
States. The increase of population for
the ten years previous to the taking OF
the census had been about three per cent.
The increase for the ten years previous
to 1870 was good deal less, the Civil
War having so pTostrated the country as
to make it much less inviting to the i'm
migrant. The Treasury Departments S

FRIENDSHIP


Like music heard on the still water,
Line pines when the wind passeth by.
Like pearls in the depth Of the ocean,
sakc stars that enamel the sky,
Like June and the odor Of roses,
Like dew and the freshness Of morn,
lake sunshine that kisses the clover,
Like tassels Of silk on the corn,
Like notes Of the thrush in the woodland.
Lake brooks whore tho violets grow,
Like rainbows that arch the blue heavens.
Like clouds when the sun dippeth low,
lake dreams Of Acadiau pleasures
Like colors that gratefully blend,
lake everything breathing Of purcness-
lise these is the love Of friend

The Farmers, Congress.

Hon. b. F. Clayton, of Macedonia, the
secretary of the Farmers congress, has
been to St. Paul arranging for the meet
ing of that body in that city August %,
90, and 81. The congress is composed of
delegates from each state and territory,
one from each congressional district and
two at large from each state, conforming
in number to the different delegations
from each state in congress, and also a
representative from each agricultural
college. Mr. Clayton has received the
announcement of the appointment of
delegates by the governors of Colorado,
Florida, Dakota, Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas,
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wis
consin. The object of the congress is to
discuss matters to be brought to the at
tention of congress for the benefit of the
agricultural and animal interests of the
country, such as the oleomargarine busi-
ness, making the commissioner of agrl-
culture cabinet officer, establishing eX-
perimental stations, extending the signal
service throughout the different states,
stamping out pleuro- and kim
dred subjects. The interstate commerce
bill and the labor and land questions are
also probable subjects of discussion. The
congress is supposed to represent the
concentrated wisdom of the agricultural
community, and its voice is heard re-
spectfully by congressman. 1t appoints
delegates TO the national congress
to lobby for its measures on the floor OF
both houses. From the appointments
which have been made it is evident that
the coming congress will be one of con-
siderable intellectual and political
weight, including Guch men as ex-Gov-
crnor c. G. Carpenter, of Iowa, B. f.
Clayton and A. V. Stout, the chairmen of
the committees on agriculture of both
houses of the Iowa legislature; ex-Gov-
ornor Hamilton, of Maryland; Ed Camp
bell, United States marshal of the south
ern district of Iowa; Ex-Governor Cam
back, of Indiana; General S. B. Buckner,
of Kentucky; General Hooker, of Miss
issippi, who will deliver the annual ora
