The Currency Corner.

The famous gold corner, which eliminated
on Friday, Sept. "a, 1869, popularity known as
BLACK Friday" was broken by the sale by the
government of S4,oOOOOO in gold and by the an
nouncement that it stood ready to sell $50,O0O,-
0UO more if necessary.
\ corner in currency, not extensive as the
gold corner of 1869, but much more mischievous
is now hampering trade and seriously incon-
veniencing every citizen. The banks refuse to
pay their depositors either in coin or in paper
Spectators are taking advantage of this fact
to buy up currency at a premium and to exact
a greater premium for it from those to whom
they sell il again.
The government can break this currency cor
by the use of the means that were en-
ployed TO break the gold corner in 1869. II Sec
rotary Carlisle would but announce that he is
prepared TO accept offers of United States
bonds and pay for them in gold to the amount
required for the sinking fund during the past
fiscal year. or say $4,000 900, the corner in cur
rency will come suddenly to an end, the strain
upon the banks will be relieved, and the gov
eminent will save interest to the amount OF
S1,92OOIo year.

MEN ask why banks have been failing,
why merchants find it impossible to get
the usual accommodation, and why
scarcity of notes for payment of hands
embarrasses industries. A single fact
explains the whole matter. \ tenth of
all the deposits in banks has been with
drawn, and much of the money has
been hidden away and boarded within
about two months. Warrant for this
statement is found in the incomplete re-
turns of the condition of national banks
on July 18th. There are about 10000
900 wage-earneTs, who average more
than $4,000 900 daily wages If they
have reserved about a third against
future payments or needs, and have
simply refrained from depositing that
amount in banks, that alone accounts
for a shrinkage of $50 900 900 each week.
But, besides, many have withdrawn
previous deposits.

What They LEI. undone.

A very fine meeting had the worlds
congress of engineers at Chicago. From
the uttermost parts Of the earth they
came and read papers on the exact
amount Of power it would require to
raise one horse load one foot in the air
and just how strong a quadruple expan-
sion engine ought to be to keep from
blowing up when a given amount of
steam was applied to it. In the section
of electrical engineering the paper read
ers ratified about among volts and am
peres and dynamos till all was blue.
1t was no doubt thoroughly inspiring
to the paper readers. But some of them
wore their new summer tan shoes to that
congress. They walked the streets of
Chicago in the same and meandered gay
ly through the labyrinths of the Worlds
fair As they did so no doubt it panied
them to observe the bright new yellow
shoes taking on day by day q darker
hue. By the time the week was over and
the engineers were ready to go home
the giddy russell shoes, alas, were no
longer russell at all, but a dull camp
kettle black, especially if it rained dur
ing the congress week. No human be-
ing would ever have guessed the things
had ever been other that the meanest
kind of rusty black.
1t was Chicago SCOT that did it in a
weeks time, and there are other soft
coal cities-Cincinnati, for instance
still dirtier than Chicago. With all
their learning, all their inspiration and
good times, the engineers failed to tell a
waiting, suffering public how to dispel
the unspeakable gulf Of smoke which
is fast swallowing the soft coal cities of
the Union and making them uninhabit-
able for clean people. Give us a rem
edy, Messieurs Engineers, and don't wait
till the next Worlds fair to do it either.

THE United States Investor takes this
new view of the Importation of gold
now in progress, which has been hailed
with so much delight. 1t is not to be
questioned that these imports will be of
decided advantage to the country, but
the fact cannot be denied that they will
be viewed with a melancholy sort of in
terest BY the students of economic con
ditions. To speak plainly, they will in
crease our supply of money, and of that
particular kind of money which is most
priced, but this increase in money will
be analogous to that which comes to a
man who had seen his property sold out
at sheriff's sale. The gold which We
are now getting is obtained at a ire
mendous cost. Its advent does not
represent, as some evidently suppose,
anything that the country can con-
graduate itself upon. In fact, it repre-
sents, and in degree measures the mis-
fortune that has overtaken us. 1t repre-
sents wheat at sixty cents bushel, the
lowest figure ever recorded. Wheat
dropped to this price because the banks,
owing to the contraction of the cur
rency, were obliged to call in their loans
to parties who were carrying the COM
modify, thus forcing heavy liquidation
and pher omenally low prices. At the
ruinous prices which have ruled lately,
large amounts of wheat have been
bought by foreigners. The loss to this
country in selling at these figures is
enormous, and it is hoped that a modi-
cum of good will be derived from this
state of affairs, in a growth of conf
dence, as a result of the few millions of
gold which we shall receive from the
other side.

How often do we find the cover on the
sitting room lounge in an untidy wrin-
kle! We rejoice that we have at last
found a cover that will stay where it is
put. Wishing to protect our brocade
plush lounge from soil, we procured ,!
yards of figured cotton flannel. As the
figures were stamped on both sides. the
wrong side was just as pretty as the
right, except that it did not have that
soft look. We spread it over the lounge
merely to keep the right side bright and
clean. To our surprise and delight, it
stuck to the plush like bark to a tree,
and though the lounge is in constant
use there is never a wrinkle on the COW
er. The long nap of the cotton flannel
will adhere to mohair or brussels car
peting also.

Cut Glass NIending.

If Norah or Dinah takes the first op-
portunity after entering Your service to
break your cherished cut glass bowl, do
not try to cement it and do not throw it
away in despair. Take it to the mend
er's and have it fastened together with
tiny silver rivets. Wash cut glass in a
paper or wooden tub in water that is
not hot enough TO crack it. and use only
the best soap, for an inferior brand
scours off the gold decorations so popu-
lar now.

A Good Word and Some Good Advice

A Good Word and Some Good Advice.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, now
called by some envious critics the presi-
dents official organ, pats the members
of Fifty-third congress gently on the
back and calls them good boys. Then it
proceeds to give them advice on the duty
of the hour as follows:
The great majority in congress and out Of it
have no selfish purpose TO be served and act
according to the best light they have on any
given subject. 1t is therefore good policy in
such debate as, according TO promises from
Washington. is TO begin at once to avoid per
sonalities and the attempt to show that the
motives of the opposition are selfish. The man
whose personal interests lead him the wrong
way will not be converted by abuse, nor will a
singing personal speech, however much it may
be applauded, convince the understanding.
The coinage question may and should be dis
cusscd with no more passion than the teacher
exhibits while explaining to his class the rule
OF three. Looking back over the periodical
discussions OF coinage questions which have
taken place at intervals during the last hun
bred years, one may readily see that the per-
sonal element of the debate was q real him
drance to an understanding of the subject and
that at no time was the decision of congress
directly controlled by the personal interests OF
a majority of the members. Unfortunately
politics have much to do with votes on such
subjects, and politics should be kept out of the
coming discussion if possible.

treated with melted paraffine In 1885 to
prevent its disintegration by the ele-

crumbling; but it has again been waxed

the elements are far less pitiless toward
such relics of antiquity than the relic
