EDWARD ATKINSON ON STATE
BANKS.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the we'll
Known economist, has letter in
the Boston Herald in which he
takes the position that the time
has undoubtedly come for the
repeal OF the 0per cent tax on the
issues OF State banks.
Mr.. Atkinson says: The popular
cry Of few years since for more
greenbacks, and the recent de-
mand, especially in the South and
the far distant West tor the free
coinage of silver dollars, may be
almost wholly attributed to the
Lack Of elasticity in the circulating
medium, consisting of limited
amount of United States legal ten
der notes and national bank notes.
The increasing demand of the
country for more notes or some
kind Of instrument to be used AS
money suitable TO be passed from
hand to hand IN small transactions
has enabled the country to absorb
the silver notes issued as a repre-
sentative OF the silver in the
treasury. The necessary use of
( these silver notes in daily tran
sactions III competition with other
forms of circulating medium, has,
up to this time prevented their
being returned for redemption to
the treasury in any dangerous
manner; thereby the treasury has
been enabled to maintain the
whole volume of currency up tC
this time at a parity with the law
tul unit of value or dollar made o.
gold.
How long can this course b'
continued
1t has long been manifest that
substitute must of necessity b'
found ior the national bank notes
Sooner or later, earlier, perhaps
than most people expect, th'
United States bonds which arr
available to secure the circulation
Of the national bank notes will b.
paid OF purchased in pursuance Q
the sinking fund act.
What then, is tue alternative
is il nightly the function of tn
United States government throug
Congress to forbid the States, by
prohibllive tax from organizing
system of banking III order t
facilitate the tariff of their respeC
tive States, or to enable eac

conduct it's own transactions o

The Boston and Maine.

A significant and sharp railroad
deal came off last week, A deal that
makes the Boston and Maine one Of
the leading New England roads, and
gives it a complete line from the
Pennsylvania coal fields to all parts
of the East. How the deal was af-
fected will be seen from the following
press dispatch, which will also give
an idea of its significance
Springfield, Mass, Dec. 16.-
One Of the biggest railroad deals of
recent years in New England was
checknated last night and today.
AS published Wednesday, the New
York New Haven and Hartford rail
road last Tuesday secured from the
directors of the Connecticut River
road their consent to lease that road,
the idea being to evidently make it a
portion of the consolidated system.
If was believed by the public and
in fact by a very large majority of
railroad people that this settled the
matter, the only thing necessary be-
ing ratification of the action of the
directors by the stockholders of the
Connecticut River road.
A bomb was thrown into financial
circles in this city this morning by
the report that the Boston and Maine
interest had secured an option or had
actually purchased over II 800 shares
of Connecticut River stock out of a
total capitalization of S2,5S0, 900.
This made it necessary to secure on
y a few hundred shares. and as it
takes a two-thirds vote of the stock
holders of the Connecticut River road
to lease the road, it seems to effectu-
ally prevent the lease of the road to
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford in any event.
The control of the Connecticut
River road carries with 1t several 9TH
er lines, the most important of which
is the Vermont Valley and Sullivan
county road, so miles in length. This
road was leased in 1880 for 80 years,
and in addition the Connecticut River
road owns control of the stock.
There is also the Ashuelot road of
"a miles, branch from So. Vernon
to Keene, that was leased years ago
by the Connecticut River system.
There is the Chicopee Falls branch,
six miles in length, and the East
Hampton branch of three and one
half miles.
What President Smith Says.
Col. +. c. Smish, president Cen
tral Vermont, who is in this city,
says that the change will not affect
his road except to bring it into closer
relations with the Boston and Maine
railroad, with which his road is on
very friendly terms
