THE RATES SHOULD BE REDUCED
NON

The Water Company has caused i,
to be known that it would reduce its
rates soon.
Why did it not reduce them months

Intention to refuse u reduction until

The panic began in May. In July
it was at it's hight. /, was then that
consumers began to ask for n reduc.

LET Us START FROM CUKREC
PREMISES.

France is very prosperous, to be
sure; but the Populist orators are ut
te,ing a great deal Of trash concern.
ing her.
Her money is gold, silver and paper,
circulation s52 per capita, AID so
forth, as stated. But the claim that
there is mo locked-up money or
money in old stockings" is not founded
on fact, as we'll informed people know
that the greatest part of the money 10
France is actually "locked up" or in
''old stockings"
Toward the close OF the Franco
Prussian war. when the victorious
King of Prussia imposed an indemnity
OF three milliards upon France the
world stood aghast!
Such a sum OF money was almost
undreampt OF. Its vastness could
scarcely be realized; and tile Prussian
monarch and his willy minister fancied
themselves so securely intrenched in
France by their demand that they
already considered her as a mere
apparisge of the German crown.
Nobody believed it possible for
France to ever ply off that gigantic
amount. On the approach Of the in.
vaders all money and valuables had
disappeared. the State treasury had
been more than absorbed during the
war, the bank vaults emptied. and
scarcely a token coin was in circu-
lation.
But the French statesmen arose to
the emergency. Knowing tina, France
had, through her arts and sciences,
levied t,ibute from all civilized nations
for centuries, they rightly believed
that the money must be some where
and they proceeded to render it avail
able.
They appealed to tho patriotism OF
the p.oplc--to that traditional love
Of home for which the French are
noted and the result wos--wha.?
Within 80 days the bulk of the in
demnity had been paid, and in less
than six months from tire date Of the
FIRST demand not Prussian so'd,e,
remained 10 France!
The enormous amount Of money
required had not been ":n sight" II
it had been the demand would have
been much greater, much more op.
pressive. Where, then, was it? l,
was in "old stockings" in broken
jugs, aud in other like odd recep,acles
where it had lain ready for emergen'
ci1s. An emergency having arisen, j,
WAS brought ont OF its hiding places
The French are famed for theiI
liberaGty. There are probably nc
greater spendthrifts IN the world
But they are likewise famous Tor thei,
industry. With en innate love o
labor, real zinc sense OF the dignity
OF work, an artists taste resulting
from centuries of practical appli,a
ton, a soil sirgularly productive, q
very favorable geographical situat;or
and all these advantages rein !orceo
by wise financ;a! laws, they can utForc
to spend lsyishIy, and not only with
out impoverishing themselves, hu,
actually enriching the community
while doing SO.
As stated at the outset OF this arti
Gle. France is very prosperous. Tha,
prosperity is undoubtedly largely due
to her wise financial syste m and to the
thrifty habits of her sons and daugh.
te's. And it would be we'll for Us te
emulate her. But in doing so-nsy
in order to do so-we must take into
account the money "locked up" in
"o)d stockings" as we'll as that IN hpr
Institutions of credit, MS the amount
Of the former much exceeds that OF
the latter, great rs it ia.

When Slavery FIourished.

Slavery was introduced in New Jer-
sey at its first settlement, and took deep
root particularly in the eastern portion.
1t is likely that most OF the slaves we're
brought from the West Indies ty the
trading vessels, but some may have
come direct from Africa or Madagascar,
although a report made by the Collec-
tor of the Custom. House at Perth Am
boy, from the year 1893 to 1925, shows
that one had been brought from Africa
and only 115 in all had come in, they
being from Barbados, st. Martins,
Cape Fransway, Jamaica and Antigua,
and the Collector added that 1t did not
appear to him that any had been brought
from Africa or Madagascar. However,
from the large numbar of slaves in the
State in early times, it is evident that
the people who desired t. purchase
slaves did not look to the port of Am
boy for their supply, but rather to New
York, for in the fjrst half Of the elgh.
teenth century slave-ships we're fitted
out publicly there with chains and
handouts to bring the blacks from
Africa to our markets, and they we're
openly sold like cattle in New York
harbor on the ships that brought them
or at auction in the city.
In 1926 there were 2,5S1 negroes in
the State, the most of whom, no doubt,
were slaves, Monmouth had 433, and
Bergen the largest number, 492. Mon
mouth, at this time, had the largest
population of any county in the State,
the number being 4,s79. In 1887 there
were 1881 blacks, chiefly slaves. In
i745 there were 4,606 slaves.
This seems to be the last colonial re.
cord we have of the slaves. Even In.
dians, the aboriginal lords of the soil,
were in some instances reduced to a
state of slavery, and drunken Indians
were sometimes induced to sell their
children for ium Then the white
criminals from the prisons Of Great
Britain were sent over and sold as
slaves for a term of years, and the poor
immigrants, who agreed to be sold as
servants for a time to pay their passage,
must have made plenty of servants for
the people. The slaves and servants
frequently ran away, and they were
sometimes branded on the breast or
shoulders with the initials Of their own.
ers' names. Rewards were often offer.
ed in the newspapers for runaways-
negro, English, Scotch, Irish and In.
dian.
For some crimes the slaves, and 9TH
ers also, were whipped on the bare bod.
les. at the carts tail, through the
streets. Negroes were sometimes burn
ed at the stake. One writer says FIRE
quently." but 1 will not use the word
"~frequently." 1t was done, however,
in this State and in other places for
heinous crimes. An account of a burn.
ing of a negro in this State tells how
the other negroes were made to look on,
the Sheriff riding around the burning
negro with drawn sword to keep the
crowd back. One way Of furnishing a
slave for murder WAS to cut off his
right hand, burn it before his eyes,
then hang him and afterwards burn his
body. This was done in 1891 and in
1896. in MiddletoWu. Monmouth Couu.
