THEN AND NOW,
Two Financial Transactions of a Hartford
Company.
Hartford Courant.l
session,

lHarlofd COurantI
The President of one of Hartford S
largest moneyed institutions was recently
reading over the minutes of the transac-
lions of the board of directors at a meet
ing held about fifty years ago. He came
across vote recorded in the minutes,
which stated that the directors having
learned that Junius S. Morgan, direc-
tor, is contemplating a trip to New York
within two weeks, hereby authorizes
him to see if he can find suitable in
vestment for 200 surplus funds of the
company.
"A few days ago the President of this
company found that there was on hand
about 5000, 900, which he desired to in
vest. He lad heard of a line of choice
bonds held by firm of brokers in Bos-
ton. and the thought occurred to him to
secure them. Stepping up to the tele-
nhone he was soon in communication
with the Boston brokers, and inquired
about the block Of bonds.
Gust sold $4,000 of them and have
but $4,000 left" was the prompt re-
s'Well, all right; we'll take the rest if
the price is right. How much do you
ask Tor them?" The price was quoted,
but seemed too high to the investor, who
bid per cent. lower.
ssCan't sell them for that, they're too
choice.'' said the Boston man.
.sWell,'' replied the Hartford man,
who wanted the bonds, seeing it's you
III split the difference"
The Boston man agreed and the pur-
chase was made, the transaction occupy.
ing less than five minutes through the
medium of the telephone. The bonds
were delivered in Hartford the next
morning, by express, and before night
the company's check for nearly $4,000
for the bonds commanded a premium
was in the hands of the Boston
brokers'.
The above story illustrates the differ
ence in business methods now and fifty
pears ago, and shows the wonderful ex-
pedition with which business affairs of
great magnitude can now be transacted.

mirably manipulated in the salutes at
sunrise, noon, and sunset on July 4, '93
by Capt. Ed Logan of Wiscasset, an old
English man of-wars man, who knows
gun and is not afraid of it.
Some time in 1861 Wiscasset citizens
contributed $500. to purchase this gun
for harbor defense.
In '64 when the confederate Tallahassee
after capturing the John Brooks and the
vessels in Portland harbor went to Hall
fax or st. Johns, and while the late
Erastus Foote was collector of customs
at the port of Wiscasset, word reached
the collector that the rebel cruiser in
tended to plumber our banks and the
town. Action was promptly taken by
patriotic citizens to checkmate this agent

brass guns, lified 9-pounders, property
of the state) the dahlgren gun mentioned
above, and new 4-poundor rif1ed cannon

johnson. This battery was planted at
the parapet of the old fort at Edgecomb,
and ammunition, etc. stored therein. A
daily detail of minute men was furnished
to guard the old fort and harbor by day
and by night repel invaders
lHcy SSIPCu Ou6 vi lila uiio
Tallahassee left the coast. R. K. Sewall
was one of them.
1t was part of the duty of the town to
furnish rations, etc., for aid of men.
Every night it was the custom to have
the battery shotted. For common signal
purposes this identical gun was used.
Orders were issued to challenge any
strange thing passing thro' narrows by
night One night of gloom and mist in
which only the eye Of faith could pene-
trate the dense fog the guard heard the
sound of oars in the distance-to him
they were muffled oars. The whole
guard was at once aroused. Nearer and
Still nearer came the muff1ed and sug
gestive sound till in good ear shot it
ceased, and failed to drown the heart

selection. and by variety of legislative
acts have sought to give silver an equal
place in the financial world as standard
of value, but without any appreciate
effect. Centuries ago silver was the rec
ognized standard of value among civil
lied nations. But gold gradually
usurped its function, and today all over
the civilized world gold is the measur-
ing standard. Such gradual and uni
versal movement could not have been
the result of any combination or con-
spiracy, except combination of rea-

The collapse of the Denver banks was
precipitated by the foolish talk made by
the governor and the apostles OF silver at
the recent convention. AS soon as this
talk was spread over the land by the
telegraph, eastern bankers refused to
loan money to sthe Denver banks, and
when the depositors demanded their
cash there was nothing to pay with. lone
eastern bank had authorized one of the
institutions which has since closed it's
doors to draw on it for any amount, but
when the reportof the speeches at the sill
yer convention reached it this authority
was Immediately countermanded. Eastern
capitalists gave probably altogether too
much weight to the wild talk of the sill
yer men, for it is not probable that many
of the people of Colorado sympathized
with it. but capital is proverbially timid,
and when it is frightened it closes its
purse strings very tight.

We fail to see any improperly IN the
city of Lewiston charging the State Fair
people for the use of the City hall to the
amount Of what it costs to heat and light
1t. On the other hand it is the proper
thing to do. There is no justice in COM
polling the people of Lewiston to con-
tribute to the support of the State Fair.
Yet that is what is done when they pay
for heating and lighting the hall for the
fairs use. The State Fair is business
enterprise, not charity, and there is no
reason under the sun why it should not
be placed on the same basis as other bus
