This week ample evidence was Sc

laborers was an actuality and had
grown into quite. an industry. not only
for Richard Martin, who maintains

DR.. Reilly, of the city health de-

in the law against the slaughtering of
horses for food. While French medi-
cal authorities during the Franco

HOW TO LIFT THAT MORTGAGE.

THAT BOOMING PROSPERITY?
Banks Taking in Sail.-Signs of
the Times.
(New York Mercury.)

Whatever the orators of the admin
istration may say, and whatever. the
administration newspapers may pub
lish, in regard to the signs of return
ing prosperity, is contradicted. by the
action Of leading financial institu-
tiOns.
The Bank of America, of this city,
has issued circular to it's stockhold-
ers, calling meeting for the purpose
OF reducing it's capital stock from So,
100000 to 81. 100000.
Some of the Boston national banks
have already reduced their capital
one-half, and others are discussing
the project.
The evening Post, of this city, says:
ut would not be surprising to find
the heavily capitalized banks in the
large cities joining generally in the
movement"
A reduction of banking capital by
one-half is not sign that the bank
officers who propose it see indications
OF returning prosperity. 1t is, the
shortening of sail before the storm.
lest the sails be blown away when the
storm comes, and the bark (or bank)
be wrecked.
The capital withdrawn from bank
ing will not be inves ted in productive
enterprises, for if there were any safe
Investments for this capital it would
not be withdrawn from banking.
The fact is that only since the re-
peal of the Sherman act have the peo-
pie OF the United States begun to feel
the hard times with which Europe
has been afflicted since 1873. From
1878, nearly year before the resump-
tion OF specie payments. until Move M
ber 1, 1893, the eff the general
uemoneClzaJlon G &c anchor
ated by the add: money of
from $2,OOO,00O /. . in silver
dollars and coin cc IS.
This supply of new money was cut
off by the repeal Of the Sherman act.
Hence the money in exis tence at that
time will continue to grow more valu-
able from day to day, and the price of
nearly everything else will fall as
| money becomes dearer.
i'he gold which may be mined will
not go into circulation. Gold has
never circulated freely among the peo-
| pie, and 1t never will. With an ad-
verse balance Of trade our entire an
nual gold output will continue to 60 to
Europe, and in addition to that, it is
probable that our stock of gold coin
will also be drawn upon to settle trade
balances,
There will be no return of pros
perity until silver has been remone-
tized by the United States, acting in
dependently of all other nations, at
our present ratio of'l6 to1.
Mr.. Cleveland builded better than
he knew. The ''object lesson" which
was to destroy silver as a money
metal, will be the means of the res
toration Of silver to it's function as a
money metal Of full legal tender pow
e,r, co.equal with gold, and not subor-
dinate.
