More One Pound Notes.

LONDON, December 4-The Right Honor
able George Goschen, chancellor of the ex-
cheauer. addressed meeting of the leading
bankers and merchants on the financial Ques-
ton. He entered into detailed statement
of his proposed scheme for increasing the
stock of gold in the Bank of England by the
issue of 81 notes to the amount of 3S,OOO.-
600. on the same conditions as notes are now
issued. After that point they will be issued
at the rate Of four-fi fths against gold and
one fifth against securities. If, by these
means, the stock of gold is largely increased,
Goschen said that he would relax the bank
charter act 80 a. to allow the bank, in times
Of an internal crisis, to issue notes against
securities, on condition of its paying q high
rate of interest to the government on such
issues. The scheme would be an enabling
and not compulsory one. 1t would depend
for Its success upon the popularity of the one
pound note with the bankers and public.
The scheme for issuing ten shilling silver
notes had been dropped, but on condition
that if foreign governments opened their
minis to the free coinage of silver, the Bank
of England would be eptitled to act upon the
provisions of the bank charter act, allowing
it to hold one fifth of it's bullion in silver.

Postmaster Generals Report.

Postmaster Generals Report.
WASHINGTON. D. c., December 5.-The
postmaster generals annual report shows
that the postal deficit of 5000, 900 Is surely
disappearing, notwithstanding enormous
due to q discontlnuance of the lottery busi-
ness, and that the service will probably he
self-sustaining on July 1, 1893. In the intro
ductiOn MIR. Wanamaker says:
To pursue the vigorous policy of te0aing
and improving that the department has
adopted, without increasing the deficiency,
and in spite of the depreciation of the rev.
enue due to the suppression Of the lottery
business, proves that the tendency of the
system ia toward better service at a lower
cost Much of the expense incurred within
the last three years is in the nature of estab-
fishing q plant. which. being now in full
running order, will not require as much out
proven by the rate of expenditures during
the past few months that the cash deficiency
for this year will be lowered to not much
over one-half of what it was last year, az
appeared in the financial exhibit; and the es-
Inmates for 1888, which have been prepared
for the action of congress at the coming ses-
sion. show that the service may be made to
reach lf-sustaining basis by July l, 1888
Only once in a quarter of q century-in
1928, just prior to the Inauguration of 2
cent postage-have the department receipts
met the expenditures.
The rural free-delivery is on trial in forty
six communities. In two places, Hillsboro,
N. OAK. and Hanover, n. H., this service was
begun, but was discontinued because the
postmasters failed to procure responsible
carriers for the maximum compensation of
$2l2 per annum for one or two hours service
per day. In Appendix A appears tabulated
statement showing a total increase in thirty
nine out of the forty-six experimental free
delivery offices, amounting to Sc, 21349, and
a total decrease of gross receipts in seven of
the offices amounting to $7O7.39. This leaves
a balance of $5,5O6.1O of increase of gross
receipts.
If books alleged to be periodicals. were
properly classified, and sample copies of
newspapers, except to a reasonable number,
we're classified as any other merchandise,
the increased revenue would more than equal
the total amount now collected from pub
fishers for postage of newspapers. In other
words, the department would suffer no loss
by carrying newspapers to actual subscribers
free If 1t rece we'd just pay for the serials and
sample copies. General merchandise in the
mails pays 16 cents pound. Books in pack
ages of 4 pounds are carried at 8 cents q
pound; but publishers of serials, SO called,
are able to ship their entire production
from the Atlantic to the Pacific tor 1 cent a

of the supreme court to learn what disposi.
ton had been made Of the casQ and his ~
ply il gratifying.
Sometime prior to November. 1888, IL
Pullman palace car company brought pro-
ceedin2s against the various county treas
urers of Kansas to restrain the collection Of
taxes against their property. The suit was
brought on the grounds that the property
not belonging permanently in any county in
the state was not taxable at places where 1t
was only temporarily located.
The case attracted q great deal Of atten-
ton As it meant thousands of dollars in taxes
to Kansas.
It came up in the United States circuit
court and was decided November =. 1885, Cd
verse to the plaintiffs. The company at once
appealed the case to the United States So
preme court. 1t Was argued, but before .
decision was reached one of the justices dieo.
The case was then ordered reargued and tho
decision sustained the Judgment of the cir
cult court.
This did not satisfy the Pullman company
and they at once filled q motion for q rehear-
ing and the court denied the petition.
The matter Is consequently settled. and The
company will be required to pay the back
taxes accrued since the suit was instituted.

A Car Famine.

Omaha, December 5-For some time past
there have been tears that the railroads oper-

cars to move the enormous crops, and the
dreaded blockade appears now to be immi-
nent.
1--WE have just received notice from eastern
connections" said General Freight Agent
Crosby of the Burl ngton, ''that they will not
receive any more shipments of grain until
further notice. The Burlington is loading
300 cars per day, and could use 1000 if it had
them"
]. p. Phillippi, of the Missouri Pacific,
said: I'VE are considerably behind the de-,
mand for cars for moving corn and coal, >,
and are loading these commodities in stock,
cars. Much of our rolling stock is tied up
in the south, in the cotton trade, and many
cars are in the east, where unloading seems
to he slow"
Toe shortage OH the Union Pacific amounts
to only 400 cars.
The Elkhorn is short nearly 1000 cars,
with no immediate relief i'll prospect.

Too Tin Plato InnuatrY.

The Rockand Opinion thinks it is pure
bosh TO claim that the passage of the
Mckinley bill has given an impetus to
the lin plate industry Ia this country.
| inasmuch a. the duty on tin plate does
not 60 into effect until next July. In
| this conclusion the Opinion is consider
ably at fault. The passage Of the Nc
Kinley bill gave an immediate impetus
to the tin plate industry in this country
because 1t assured those who were ready
to invest capital in the home production
OF tin, that they would be protected
from the methods which have been en-
plcyed In the past by English mauufac
snrers to crush out the industry in this
country. Having IL monopoly Of the
tin plste market ia this coun
try these fellows have demanded
and obtained pretty much their own
price. Whenever any attempt has been
| made TO manufacture tin plate in this
country, however, the price of the for
eign article has always dropped to as
toundingly low figures. The result has
been that the American concerns have
gone down under the pressure Of war;
fare that was willing and able to sell
for long time ut a price far below cost
In order to kill out home competition.
At the present time American investors
are insured, under the wise provisions
of the Mckinley bill, against these cut
rhroat tactics Of foreign manufictur.
ers. The result has been a
most decided boom in the tin
plate industry in this country. If the
Opinion had kept "a careful watch Of its
exchanges it could scarcely have failed
to have noted this fact Tin plate fac.
tories are now in process of erection in
st. Louis, Brooklyn, and Chicago A
Pittsburg factory has been put in sue
cessfnl operation. We received from

and manufactured in the United States
and we can assure our Rockland
contemporary that it was equal in

Of British make which it has ever been
our fortune to sec. IL worries
the Opinion and papers of ITS class
very much to observe the Frightening
prospects that the 81, 900 900 now an
nually exported in payment for tim

zion OF the Mckinley law, be expended
in this country and thereby contribute
10 our national prosperity by furnishing
support to 2o0,Q09 people. Sad, how
ever, az this outlook may be from the
Democratic standpoint, we are inclined
to think that the people of this country
by the exercise of due fortitude, will
manage to bear up under it.
