We wish all our readers q Happy New
Year. And don't write It 1893. We have
all had enough of 1898, and it will bs .
mistake to mar anything that belongs to
the new year with the old date.
People are entering the new year much
~ the small boy tests the new ice to see II
It will bear his weight. They are walking
softly and looking sharply ont for danger.
They have learned by painful experience
In the old year that It is dangerous to
prance and cavort without knowing
whether that on which the prancing and
cavorting Il done will hold. It will take
some time to restore confidence even IL
there are NO more breaks, and the prevail
Ing caution is wise and will tend to safety.
One crumb of comfort can be legitimate
ly offered, and that Ii that the nsw year
can't be any more depressing and distress
ing than the old one. There are signs,
too, that IL will not be as much 30. That
part Of business which hasn't bsen wrecked
has taken in sail and is going on with oare-
full consideration of wind and wave. Econ
omy has succeeded eItrsvsgance and there
10 no elation or imitation. 1t seems
pretty certain that when there is .
move 1t will be mp instead of
down, ss there can hardly be any
further downward move unless the bottom
drops out Most of those who were not In
condition to stand the strain have already
failed, the receivers hands are numerous
and full, stocks of goods have been greatly
reduced, and bu-iness men generally are
living from hand to mouth. This can't
last forever, and there is good reason to
hope for some improvement soon. Il will
perhaps begin in earnest when Boss Cleve-
land let's the country know through his
puppets IN congress what his tariff policy
Is really going to be.
But bad or good, the new year will soon
be the old year. How much faster the
years go than they did when We were

CUSTOM DUTIES IN GOLD.

A decree issued by President Peixotto
of Brazil orders the payment of custom
duties in gold. If President Cleveland
was authorized to issue decrses he would
doubtless have issued one to this effect
long ago. The treasury of debtor coun-
try which does business on a currency
basis is in tight place unless gold pay
ments are required for some part of its
revenues. Brazil, nominally on a gold
basis. uses paper currency in private
transactions. But whatever debt Brazil
may owe TO Europe has to be paid in gold,
and unless some provision is made to
secure the payment of revenue in part in
gold the treasury would be compelled to
buy gold in the market. The decree issued
will have the effect of adding materially
to the duties on foreign merchandise
There have been different issues of cur
rency in Brazil, and it is reasonable to
suppose that the value of all is not uni
form. Such being the case payments into
the treasury would as a rule be made in
the cheapest currency that would be &C
cepted. The requirement of gold may
cause decrease 10 imports, but after
making reasonable allowance for this, il
will add to the value Of Go vernment re-
ceipts from customs.

HOW RAILROADS RULE.

The Philadelphia Press of April 20 had
the following:
A serious Indictment is presented against the
railroads which have terminals in Philadelphia
and especially against that prince Of railway
corporations, the Pennsylvania. The charge is
that the commercial life of Philadelphia is
being destroyed by railway discrimination
against the city. The evidence in support OF
this charge Is so strong that the business in.
terests of the city are aroused and have ad-
dressed themselves TO the task of saving if Dos
sIble their departing foreign trade.
The difference between Philadelphia and
San Francisco is not so much in treatment
as the manner in which the treatment they
have been subjected to is received Phila-
delphia is moving to check the plans of the
railroads which discriminate against her.
while San Francisco takes her chastse-
ment with only an occasional growl. The
Press says in the same article:
The absence of real competition and of a
public spirit which is quick TO take offense at
the i'll treatment of Philadelphia has left the
Pennsylvania Railroad In undisputed control of
the situation and Ii has seen its interest 10 pro-
noting the commerce OF other ports rather than
Philadelphia.
There was at one time an apparently
solid basis for the belief that a railroad
company would consider Its interests and
that of the community in which it was
located identical. California put herself
10 the hand of the Southern Pacific on this
theory. Philadelphia treated the great
Pennsylvania company in the same way.
But both California and PENNSYLVANIA are
finding out that community's interests
are best secured while the people have
the power to choose between servants.
Competition is as much necessity in the
carrying trade as in the grocery business.
Would the people be as we'll served as
now if there was but one grocery firm in
the State? And yet a double price for
groceries would not cause the State a
greater loss than double price on trans
| portatiOns.
The power of a transportation unfettered
| by competition is almost without limit

as good chance as New York TO lead In

THE OLNEY VIEW OF 1T.

Not much is expected of Attorney Gen
eral Olney 10 bis official capacity. Since
be has been Attorney General he has not
shown any disposition to quarrel with the
corporations he formerly served. and
which, so far as the public knows, he still
serves. His proposition, therefore. that
the United States give the Union Pacific
100 years in which TO pay its debt, took
no one by surprise. It was about what
was expected of Olney. II was not sup
posed that he would see any improperly
IN a settlement which permitted the man
ayers Of that road to keep the millions
they have taken from the people by con-
struction and its subsequent earnings.
The only settlement the people of the
United States will accept is that the law
provides for If the road cannot pay it
must hand over its property. Individuals
who have not had a chance TO steal tens of
millions have TO pay their debts or go into
bankruptcy. The foreclosure OF the mort
cages on the two Pacific lines will give
the Government chance to try an expert
ment. Legal control OF transcontinental
railroads having failed. it might be a good
plan to see what would be the effect of
competition. The only competition pos
sible is by Government 1t is not neces-
sary that the Government should operate
a road; it may hold a through line open
to traffic on payment of toll sufficient to
pay interest on the cost and keep the road
in order. There will be no trouble about
competition when the Government in-
vites any responsible party to run a train
over a Government track. subject Of course

lisiOns.

THE ALDRlCH TANGLE.

THE CALL has BEEN asked to explain
what Senator Aldrich intended to accom-
plish by offering to vote at once on the
Wilson bill as it came from the House.
The purpose Of Mr.. AIdrich undou btedly
was to prevent any tariff legislation. He
had information which convinced him that
the Senate would not pass the House bill
except with the reservation that il might
be amended in conference committee. II
the House bill had been defeated in a
square vote it could then be Hrged that
the protective feature adopted by the
Senate could only save it. The Wilson
bill. as it passed the House, was not in ac-
cord with the Chicago platform. but was
nearer to it than the Senate bill. What
Mr.. Aldrich wanted to show was that the
party had repudiated its Chicago plat
