Sixty Years Ago.

Sixty Years Ago.
A few days ago the Albany Journal
reprinted in fac simile the first page of
the first number of the journal of
March 20, 1880. The post of honor as
containing the most important news of
that day. was given to table filing
more than a column and half, to be
corrected weekly. In this table was
found information about the bank bills
which person was likely to find among
his money. One of the prime neces-
stiles of that time was a bank note de-,
tector, and one of the risks was that a
man might wake up any morning and
find halt the bills in his pocket worth
less from the failure of the State banks
that had issued them. Again, busi-
ness man coming from another State
or even from another part of this State,
needed the detector to tell him how much
discount the bills, which were good at
their face value in the, place he came
from, were subject to in the town where
he wanted to use them.
In the table referred to the bills of
the banks iu and around Albany, at
Schenectady, Troy and Lansingburp
are quoted at par, but from Newbure,
Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo
they were from one-fourth to / per
cent. discount-that is, the bills of
sound banks. The bills Of bank at
Catskill and one at Poughkeepsie are
quoted as worth 50 cents on dollar.
one at Hudson 40 cents, and one in New
York 70 cents. The New England bills
averaged about one-haH of l per cent
discount, but the number of banks re.
ported as ''broken" is large, Connecticut
furnishing two, Rhode Island one, Mas.
sachusetts four, and Maine Ave in the
list in the Journal. The more distant
the banks that issued the bills the
larger the discount. Pennsylvania bills
averaged ~ per cent. discount. Vir-
ginia bills 2, South Carolina and Geor-
gia bills 8, Ohio bills 4, Mississippi bills
10, and Alabama bills 30. Bills that
were perfectly good one day might be
worthless the next. These troubles
with the old State bank bills are
worth remembering and worth re.
calling when proposition is made.
as itshas been in Congress this session,

alone prevents return of wildcat and

Gladstone's Opinion.

LONDON, May 1s.-Mr. Gladstone
spoke at the Golden club to-day. He
said that free traders must recognize
with great disappointment how much
ground had been lost by their doctrine
within the last twenty-five years. Pro-
lection was applied now in America,
not only to goods but to persons, as was
instanced by the treatment of the Chi
nese. The great republic had never
accepted the doctrines of free trade. At
one time there had been kind of quail
ified progress toward them, but this
being checked, opinion became actually
retrOgreSSiye.

AN EXPLANATION or THE FIGURES ABOVE
GIVEN.
In the forty Senatorial districts the
republicans in 1883 had majoritles in all
but six Of them while In 1890, they are
just barely saved in but one. In the
First District in 1883, Senator schilling
was in minority In his own county Of
9S5, while in 1890 his county, (Brown)
was in a republican minority Of 559,
while Doniphan, the other county Of the
district, had a republican majority Of
O49, thus leaving majority Of 90 for the
the republicans In the dlstrict-their only
one in the state Of Kansas. In 1870
these counties gave seven votes against

In the Second district the change Is
from a republican majority Of 90 TO a re-

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.

AS illustrating the methods by
which the manipulation Of national
Legislation is made to play into the
hands OF favored parties, attention ID
directed TO the suspicious circum-
stances attending the formation Of a
corporation which has been given e1-
tensive privileges in the development
and control Of the deep water harbor
at Arkansas Pass.
Mr.. Russell b. Harrison, the presi-
dents son, is at the head of this cor
poration. A considerable number Of
members Of Congress are among the
inCorporators.
The late Congress passed bill
granting to this company the exclus-
i've right to obtain water at this point
The company will proceed to build a
railroad, and without doubt they have
already secured possession or control
OF real estate, Of timber lands and all
possible attainsble advantages.
II is safe to say that the only par
ties who will be largely benefited by
the large expenditure Of public funds
at Aransas Pass, will be the very per-
sons who we're instrumental in push
ing the Legislation. No safeguards
have been provided to protect the in
terests OF the laborers and producers,
the products Of whose toll will consti-
tute the source of profit to the
wealthy members Of the corporation
The whole transaction is bare
faced steal, and the servants y Of the
people are the thieves.
