Cary to the surplus fund...s 723, ,720

Other items Of profit, such as exchange,
is left out, which would swell this amount.
These figures show that these enormous
profits grew out of the immense volume
of business done by the Bank, extending
from Maine to California. It is said that
this volume of business has been created
by safe management and liberality with
its customers. It has been in business
fifty years-the first twenty-five years as
State Bank. 1t was the only Bank in
New York which did not suspend in
the great panic of 1857. It does not issue
any national currency. 1t is an erroneous
impression, advanced by some, that sue.
cess in one line of business is at the
expense of others. The reverse is
generally true. Failures generally rob
honest men of their dues. 1t might be
proper here to add that the National
Banks have paid into the Treasury of the
United States s137 100000 taxes, in
return for the privilege of banking as
o,1ch Is.

= Mr.. John G. Calhoun, who has just
returned to New York from trip
through the South, says there is active
speculation going on in real estate at
advancing prices, and that more money
is in the South for Investment than ever
before since the war. To the Southern
people cotton is now a surplus produc-
tion, as they are raising their own food
supplies at home, and the money receiv-
ed from cotton is going into investments.

Tile National Alliance Platform.

The following are the demands adopted
by the N. T. a. & I. U. at its meeting in
ST. Louis, Mo-, December 6, 1889:
That ne demand the abolition of Ma.
tionaI banks and the substitution of legal
tender treasury notes in lieu of national
bank notes, issued in sufficient volume to
do the business of the country on cash
system regulating the amount needed on
a per capita basis as the business of the
country expands; and that all money
issued by the Government shall be legal
tender in payment Of all debts, both pub.
lie and private.
2. That ne demand that Congress shall
pass such laws as shall efectually prevent
the dealing in futures of all agricultural
and mechanical productions; preserving
o stringent system of procedure in trials
az shall secure tho prompt conviction, and
imposing such penalties as shall secure
the most perfect compliance with the
law.
8. That we demand the free and unlim.
tied coinage Of silver.
4. That we demand the passage of laws
prohibiting the alien ownership of land,
and that Congress take early steps to de.
wise some plan to obtain all lands now
owned by aliens and foreign syndicates,
and that all lands now held by railroad
and other corporations in excess of such
as is actually used and needed by them
be reclaimed for the Government and
held for actual settlers only.
5. Believing in the doctrine of ''equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none" we demand that taxation, national
or State, shall not be used to build up one
interest or claas at the expense of anoth.
er. We believe that the money Of the
country should be kept as much as posi-.
BILE in the hands of the people, and hence
ne demand that all revenues, National,
State or County, shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the Government
economically and honestly administered.
6. That Congress issue q sufficient
amount Of fractional paper currency to
facilitate exchange through the medium
of the United States Mail.
z. We demand that the means of com'
munication and transportation shall be
owned by and operated in the interest OF
the people-as is the United States pcBtal
system.

cial favor, and should judge that he stands
in a good way to have his head turned, and
thus be robbed of his literary originality
and power of application. This latest pet
of the drawing-roOm has commanded the
attention of London by revealing through
a series of short stories an entirely strange
and fascinating life-a life 'caylare to the

What Bret Harte did for the pioneer days
of California Kiping is doing for the Brit

two authors are not unlike. Given social
life that is entirely esoteric so far as ordi-

life the soul of the writer has so deeply en-
