SOUND MONEY PROSPECTS.

The New York Herald of the 29th pub lished the following letter from Col. John M. Martin of this city:
 To the Editor of the Herald:
 Every ole seems anxious to give express sion to his views upon the silver question, and 1 am not exempt from that infatua- that silver and gold could not be kept upon a parity, as the money of our country, eX- cept by agreement between all the great gold using commercial nations to preserve dt at all hazards, by means of the financial might of each and all of them. This inter- national agreement l have never believed possible, and, therefore, consider the action of our government in purchasing not less than two millions of silver per month and impoiitic, unwise and the sure precursor of just such financial disturbance as we have already witnessed.
 When the president came out so. earnest ly and so boldly in favor of repeating the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act, called congress together in extra ses- sion, and, so to speak, carried out his pur- pose triumphantly, 1 felt assured that he must be in he right, and that time would vindcate the wisdom of his views. It is enough for me to say that review of the history of the two metals confirmed me in my convictions against the free coinage of silver; and, subsequently,. the wisdom of the president has been fully confirmed by the manifest improvement in business af- fairs, due to it alone. We are not yet freed from the silver fever in the south, but do not eXaggerate when l say that the out look grows brighter every day and the triumph of the sound money men" is already assured.

New York society men are trying to devise some method to bring down hack fares The young men of Birmingham have hit upon an expedient to save hack hire. They give their germans at one of the summer resorts. and find that the dummy fare is considerably less than hack hire.
 The Railroad Gazette announces that railroad companies have ordered this year 22,029 freight cars and have bids out for 5000 more. The passenger cars ordered amount to seventy-two, with thirteen more to come. This represents an expenditure of over SIC, 900, 900, which is worth considering among the inf1u- ences working to make times better The Railroad Gazette says it is an unlocked for improvement in car building The record for less than five months exceeds that of the entire year of 1894 by over 5000 freight cars. The passenger car output makes a very different conpar- ison, 800 cars having been built in 1894. In 1893 the car companies built 51 900 cars. and in 1892 the output was 93,oCO freight cars.

gold and silver in the United States for 1894 has just been issued. The total pro- duction is 39,500000, of which $917.516 is credited to States east of the Missis- sppi. Much has been said about the rapid gain in gold production since the decline of silver, and the result bears out the statement. The output of gold has increased 20 per cent. This country is producing about third more gold than in 1883, and considerably more sill yer also A natural effect has been to supply larger monetary basis, and those who indulge the notion that prices of commodities depend on the supply of the money metals must admit their er- TOT. It is a fact that the silver pur- chasing act. by greatly stimulating the production of silver, depressed it's price and defeated the purpose of those who hoped that it would enhance the value of their metal and their mines.
 The Age-Herald has already pointed out how the Stae law regulating the manufacture of boilers works against our boiler makers There is another obstacle they have to contend with, and that is freight rates. The railroads charge as much for carrying heavy machinery Qncluding boilers) from Birmingham to Mobile as from St. Louis to Mobile This is a manifest injustice. One of Birming- hams boiler works outbid all competi- tors for the supplying of boilers to a man. ufacturing enterprise in a Mississippi town, but had to throw up the job on ac+ count of the heavy freight A St. Louis boiler maker secured the contract. al- though St. Louis is several hundred miles further off than Birmingham.
 In the Eastern complication England shrouds herself in mystery There is one thing certain, however, she is jeal- ous of the great Siberian railway that Russia is building, and would prevent it's reaching an open port if she could.

SOFT MARBLE PUT IN.

when they made up the specifications
fer flashing the governors new Office.
The marble is 70 be the Kansas product,
and contractors say that ii is very in

O1e OF the prominent contractors who
has done some state work, said to Jour-
Nal reporter:

in the marble called for in the specifica-

ever saw. There Is no other word that

has made q mistake IN this matter, for it
Is surely a shame to finish the office of

'Of course the contractors can not
help themselves They are bound to
put IL the marble called for in the speci-
Ecatiou. II any one doubts the truth of
what l say let him go up an make an ex-
animation for himself and he Will agree
with me that it is a shame to put such
stuff IN the building and especially that
portion of it"
The fault found with the marble is
that it is soft course and will not retain a
high polish.
