The Secretary ofthe Treasury Again
Bows to Wall Street.

The American public was presented with
another humiliating spectacle last week, Of
the Secretary of the United States Treasury
being sent or called 10 New York 10 receive
instruction or rather commands of a meet
ing Of bankers, who to the number of about
half hundred told him he must extend the
Al per cent bonds which are due the first OF
September next, in order that they, the
bankers, might continue to have them to
bank on. Mr.. VIM. P. st. John, Presi-
dent of the Mercantile National Bank was
spokesman for the bankers, and told the
Secretary that there would be no profit TO
The banks if the bonds were extended at a
II per cent rate of interest and unless he
agreed to per cent rate, the banks would
depreciate the bonds, send in their currency,
contract the circulation and produce a
pressure in business circles and demoralize
trade for the want of money. When lot
of New York bankers can dictate to the first
financial officer Of the government in this
style, while he cringes before them it is
high time the people were beginning to
inquire whether they are not subjects of an
oligarchy of bankers and no longer free
American citizents. The following resolu-
ton is the ultimatum of the bankers and
brokers, which they passed in the presence
of the Secretary and then abruptly adjourn
ed the Westinghouse up this truce after
they had acquainted the Secretary with the
best terms they would allow him:
Resolred, That this meeting, composed OF
the representatives of banks and trust COM
panies, and bankers and brokers of New
York, hereby express to the Secretary its
unanimous opinion that in view of the
necessity for an increase OF circulating notes
for the movement of the abundant coming
crops Of every variety, it is to the interests
of the country at large to extend the ma
turing Al per cent bonds at the rate of 2 per
cent interest, payable at the pleasure of the
Government, and that a lower rate of in,
terest would tend to contract the currency at
a time inconvenienl to all bushes interests.
This meeting, composed ofthe represe
tatives of banks and trust companies, and
oduhCiS anu DIOhSiS vi NOW L UOh! SbC.,
ETC. This is the lofty tone in which the
terms Of surrender is annunced to the Secre-
tary, and he meekly submits. Last year
this same crowd was paid 500, 000, 900 in
premiums alone on bonds they sold the gov
eminent, enough to have redeemed all of
the outstanding 44's.
A contemporary very aptly says: ITO be
sure congress might have authorized the
Treasury to redeem the bonds by issuing
greenbacks which every body would haYe
gladly received at par in payment for SER
vices in the government" This would haye
prevented contraction which the bankers
threatened, wiped out the debt and shown
the bankers that we have a government for
the people in place of for the bankers.

Narrow Escape of the Absent-NIinded Capi-

a narrow escape from being ground to
pieces by a Hudson river railroad train
few days ago az II 'ington-on-the-
Hudson. The other II o. ming as he and
few others stepped across the tracks at
the station to take the SIG train to the
city,a west-bound express hove in sight,
coming at a high rate of speed. Its
track was the one between the station
and the local train and standing on it,
all oblivious to danger, were Mr.. Gould
and his friends. A station hand saw
the express and gave sharp yell of
danger, at which all but Mr.. Gould
turned quickly and leaped back 20 the
station platform. Mr.. Gould's thoughts
were apparently miles away, for his
head was bent and he was perfectly
needless of his peril. Baggagemaster
Barnard jumped to the track and, grab
bing the railroad Napoleon by the col
lar, jerked him back upon the platform
and before the absent-minded capitalist
knew what it was all about the express
had thundered by.
