The New Jersey Albeit McDermott
ring began by stealing the vote of
Jersey City; having secured this, it
stole the vote of New Jersey, and
when this gained the evidence given
before the New Jersey investigating
committee seems to show that pretty
much anything that could be converted
to private use and profit in contracts,
in fees, in Offices and even in pardOns
was picked up by various persons,
who now are caught with larger and

brought forth evidence rejecting
severely upon certain members of the
Court of Pardons, especially the late
Ex-Governor Albeit. The witnesses
furnishing this evidence did so with
great reluctance, but as their state

minds. An interesting side issue of the

what is an honest dollar, inquiries a
correspondent. Well, we should say that
an honest dollar was dollar so univer-
sally acceptable at certain fixed value
that it was .iot liable to cheat anybody
in the performance of its functions of
measuring values and facilitating ex-
changes. Suppose the existanoe of COM
munity of one hundred persons having
no dealings whatever with any other
community, but exchanging products
and manufactures among it's own mem
bers exclusively. Suppose that every
member of that community agrees that
an ounce of silver shall have certain
definite exchanged bic value, and that
this ounce of silver fashioned into a GER
tain shape and stamped with a certain
devise shall be called dollar. then this
dollar so far as the community is con-
cerned would be All honest dollar. Every
member of the community would receive
it at precisely. the same value, and every
exchange effected by it would be upon
precisely the same basis. Let US suppose
that in the course of time this colnmu-
nifty begins to exchange its products or
manufactures with some other COM
munity where different estimate of the
prevails-a lower estimate perhaps. B, a
mem ber of the first community, receives
from A, mem ber of the same commu-
nifty, the ounce Of silver at the exchange
able value agreed upon BY the first COM
munity, it goes to c, OF the same COM
munity at the same value; then g at
tempts to exchange it for goods with
some member of the second community
where a lower estimate is placed upon it,
or course q finds that he gets less for it
than he gave. This dollar which was
honest when trade was exclusively con-
fined inside the first community, has
now, that trade has been extended to the
second community, become essentially a
dishonest dollar, that is to say, its value
has fiuctuated and somebody has been
cheated by it, inasmuch as he has not
received for it in exchange as much as
he gave for it Interchange. 1t is essen tial
to an honest dollar that all the persons
with whom it is to be used to effect ex-
changes should put the same estimate of
value upon it. If the United States had
no dealings with other countries, any
medium of exchange. which it's citizens
should agree upon would produce equit-
able exchanges, and it could entirely dis
regard the opinions OF foreign nations
But as long as we are dealing with for
eign nations we cannot shut our eyes to
their ideas about the medium of ex-
change.

The Democrats of Tennessee seem to
have consummated their villainous
scheme of counting out the Republican
candidate for governor who was elected
Oh thei face of the returns. They have
been four months about it, which shows
the difficulties in the path of this piece
of rascality. The ground on which they
undertake TO defend the steal is that
some Republicans voted who bad not
paid the poll tax, though there is every
reason to believe that as many Democrats
voted who were disqualified for the same
reason. Possibly recourse may be had
to the courts, but the courts of the
South are not likely TO be found want
ing when support is wanted for any sort
of political fascality perpetrated by the
Democratic party.

First Mortgage 4 IL per cent
90 YEAR GOLD BONDS
Or THE
Portland Railroad
Company.

Deliverable and payable on or before
June 1st, 1895.
Price 105 and interest yielding a net
return of about 4 per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May 1st, 1898,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
OF the total authorized mortgage,
$3.50. 900 bonds are already outstanding,
and $220,0 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this 1920, 900, we shall receive
for delivery $150,000 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1860, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property (ncluding
real estate and equipment situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 2014 miles,
making the bonded indebtedness less
than 500, 900 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol
lows -
Gross, s2o7, ,552. 20
Expenses and taxes, 1e9, ,979. rs
Net, $37, ,572. .42
Interest, 8,6223 "a
s-----
Surplus, S2S, $780, .0S
II will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included new cars,
4 motors, / snow plough, l mile new
track, etc., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of 100000, taoice oUer.
1t is conServatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
aUh0Ie Indebtedness. additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stockis $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at 115 to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895, over what the same
would have costin 1892, is at least $3.50, ,O0O
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $175,000 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as a particularly choice invest
ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

Instead of being a road to bimetalism
the free coinage of silver by this country
alone will prove undoubtedly the direct
path to silver monometalism. Instead of
increasing the amount of money it is
likely to reduce it by driving out gold.
Instead of helping the laboring man it
will hurt him because he will be the last
one to discover the decline in purchas-
ing power of the dollar.
