CURRENCY RELIEVED BY MONEY
ORDERS

Owing to the stringency of the money
market it is impossible for the banks of
North Adams to supply the large manu-
featuring concerns there with currency
with which to pay their help Cashier
E. S. Wilkinson of the North Adams Ma
tional bank has devised plan to meet
the difficulty. Printed orders will be is
sued by employers which will be re-
ceived on deposit or collected by the To-
cal banks.> They will be issued in de-
nominations of 81, S. and $40 and can be
passed from hand to hand like other
currency. and when deposited in the
bank will be redeemed by the drawers S
check They can then be reissued to
him. The advantage of this local sys-
tenn of exchange is that the circulating
medium will be kept in town. The form
of the order is as follows: "$l000.-
North Adams, Mass, Aug. 10, 1S93.-To
any of the merchants or tradesmen of
North Adams: Please deliver to the
bearer goods, credit in money to the
value of ten dollars, and this order will
be received on deposit by or collected at
any bank in town. (Signed) The A. B.
Z. Company"
On the reverse of the order is printed: :
"Do not write on or otherwise deface the
back of this order" One establishment
has S25, 900 of these orders printed. The
pay rolls of the various industries of the
town aggregate about 100000 week,
and it will be seen what decided relief
the plan of Cashier Wilkinson affords at
the present time.-Troy Press.
This has the familiar sound of the
times before and just after the war of
the Rebellion began.

A curious parallel to the present stu
alton is found away back in 1896, when
there was an attempt made to get law
providing, as Macaulay says, that nine
pence should be shilling. Everybody
boarded money and panic followed
Parliament met in October, and the
House the very first day adopted reso-
luton without division declaring "that
the standard of money should not be al
tered in fineness, weight or denomina-
tion." The results Macaulay describes
as follows: From the moment at which
the Commons notified their fixed deter
mination not to raise the denomination
of the coin the milled money began to
come forth, from thousand strong
boxes and private drawers. There was
pressure, but that pressure was less and
less felt day by day. The nation, though
still suffering, was joyful and grateful" :"

We remarked last week that the issue
in Ohio seems to be drawn squarely be-
tween Protection and Free Trade. This
is the opinion of Gov. Mckinley, who,
when asked his views of the Democratic
State convention and its nominee for
governor, said: Lawrence T. Neal is a
gentleman and that considering the
prominent part he had taken in the
Chicago convention it was but right and
logical that he should receive the nomi-
nation. "Mr. Meals nomination" he
continued, ''means that there will be no
straddling of the tariff questi n. The
battle will be a square, open and clearly
defined one between the party that has
declared for stand by protective tariff
and the party that demands tariff for
revenue only"

THE IMPORTS OF GOLD.

The imports of gold at New York last
week, says the Boston Herald, reached
the enormous total of $13,954, oil. Of
this amount $7,096,079 came from Engs
land and $4,624, 100 from Germany, the
remaining $2,234,042 arriving from
France, Cuba and South America 1t is
known that within the past fortnight
S22, 100000 gold has been withdrawn
from the Bank of England for shipment
to the United States, and one may rea-
sonably suppose that there have been
purchases of the yellow metal IN the Lon
don bullion market for American ac-
count If we put the open market sup
ply at So, 1000, 900, the total export of gold
to this country arranged for in London
during the past two weeks would amount
to $25, 100000. Deducting from that sum
the 81, 600, 900 already received, we find
that there is now some $1S,0O0,0OO gold
on the way from England.
The export movement from Germany
does not admit of so close measurement,
but we feel safe in reckoning that at
least $4, 4,000,000is is on shipboard. In ad
dition, shipment of $l,000,000 by La
Touraine was reported from Havre on
Saturday, and further sum of $500, 900
is coming from Havana in the Yucatan.
Here is supply of between $4,000, 900
and $24, 900, 900 gold to be reckoned up
on, all of which may be expected within
the next ten days. Adding this amount
to the gold received last week we get the
enormous aggregate of $4,000, 900
poured upon our thirsty money market
in period of perhaps seventeen days.
We regard these figures as entirely CON
elusive on one point. They can safely
be taken as showing that the supply of
currency i'll it's best form must before
long be adequate for any imaginable de-
nd

Editor Walter of the st. Johnsbury
Republican was suspended from the
paper by the directors of the publishing
company, and soon after was arrested on
charge of forgery. He waived exami-
nation and went to Jail in default of S.
600 bonds. 1t is reported he may pro-
cure bail to-day. He has forged the
name OF T. G. Fletcher to various notes
amounting in all to $500 and his in
debtedness is said to be $4,000. Walter
is about 80 years old, of pleasant and
courteous ways, and did not spend his
borrowed money by fast living or in
speculation. He lived beyond his in
come and kept borrowing to keep up.

The decision in the Behring Sea arbi-

interpreted, The United States loes
five of its points in the No. divIsiin,
which relates to closed sea, but is
awarded a sixty-mile exclusive ritht
about the Pribyloff Islands. 1t is claimed
by some to be a substantial victory or

the decision is that England has gaiied
nominal success, while the Unbed
States has scored real and actual ri

an American sea in the sense that lral

Dispatches from Rome say that it is
reported that letter will shortly be

for the maintenance in proper style of

THE EXODUS OF CHEAP LABOR.

There is no great loss without some
consequent gain. One of the less dis
turbing results of the suspension of
work, says the Boston Herald, is an exc
dus of foreign laborers back to the coun-
try whence they came. The Philadelphia
papers note great rush of Italians and
Poles from the iron and coal regions of
Pennsylvania to that city, where they
are taking passage back across the
water. The average number of depart
ures of Poles from that port alone of late
has been between 100 and 200 daily, and
the number of Italians is still larger.
The growing tendency on the part of
Pennsylvania contractors to employ
Americans in preference to foreigners is
in great measure responsible for the
present condition of things, and it is not
an altogether bad sign, considering the
manner in which the Pennsylvania in
dustries have been resorting to cheap
imported labor.

One of the most significant signs of
the hard times is the appointment of re-
ceivers for the Northern Pacific Rail-
road, upon the petition of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company. Vermont has
a greater interest in this railroad than in
any other Western road, from the fact
that such well known Vermonters as the
late exc overnor j. Gregory Smith of St.
Albans, the late Hon. Frederick Billings
of Woodstock, and Mr.. Thomas II. Can
field of Burlington, have been promi-
nently connected with it at various
times.-Free Press.

A two million dollar file occurred

A two million dollar fiIe occurred in
Minneapolis Sunday afternoon. Over
two hundred houses were burned and
some fifteen hundred families were
made homeless. This record was made
in about two hours time. The origin of
the fire is mystery. In one place ten
million feet of lumber were burned.
The charred remains of boy were found,
and it is said that a woman lost her life.
Some of the property was we'll insured,
but others was not, and there is likely
to be many cases of destituJion.

The entire plant of the Troy Stee
and Iron Company is now closed, the
Rensselaer, Merchant mill and Albany
Iron works having been shut down Sat
urday night. All the employees except
the watchman are laid off indefinitely,
and as a result about 5000 persons are
out of employment. The outlook for a
resumption in the near future is very
dubious.

animal, proba bly, a brontotherium. in

remains were secured bv the Catlett

himself 10 the task of reconstructinr

After the job was done he found
that he yet had some POO pounds OF

yeying his work, he concluded that
the tail would bear additions better
than any part OF the frame. SO he pro-
ceedet TO add some twelve feet OF
caudal appendage, curviny it over the
animals back like the tail Of a good

the same institution. saw the novel

when Professor Gould came to the
room and saw the extravagant tail he
al once pulled it To pieces and turned
