Talk is cheap, but it is folly to rail az

talk is cheap. but it is folly to rail at
transaction like that between the CITY
OF Providence and the Union Railroad
Company, whereby the latter invested
three millions or more of dollars with a
guarantee that they would not be
thrown out of business for twenty
years, unless you know what You are
talking about. 1t was a transaction
that involved business principles,
and neither philanthrophy nor
dapdoodle. II resulted in the
prompt equipment of a magnificent
transit service. And if the trolley COM
pany is making more money that some
folks think they ought to, that is of no
consequences. How much they ought to
be allowed to make is matter of purely
personal opinion. The city government
figured it out on the basis of their best
Judgment which, like any other iudg-
ment, was Of course arbitrary, and the
widest anti-monopClist cannot saw
that the trolley company has not
lived up to the letter Of their agreements
and more. IL they are making any extra
dividends we guess they are attributable
TO the enterprise and liberality that has
been put into their fine equipment.
They have given us quick service and
palatial cars. and these command diyi-
dend-paying patronage.

BLOCKS TO "PROGRESS.n

| We are amazed at the rumor that tn,
mass meeting called for tomorrow nigh
IN Infantry Hall, nominally by tn,
Union for Practical Progress, "for th,
purpose of protesting against the pro
posed extension of the Union Railroad
Company's franchise" the city of Provi
dence, by its City Council, being the
proposer and the amount of the exten
sion proposed being entirely unknown
except that it shall not be more than q
term OF years named in the PROPOSE.
tion, is having difficulty in finding
somebody to preside at the occasion.
This explains the difficulty the press
agent labors under in inditing his ad-
vance notices Of the show, and it has.
also. doubtless delayed the mailing of
invitations to prominent citizens to
be present and participate. We under
stand also, and are likewise amazed, at
the circumstance that the speakers an
nounced for the mass meeting are
mostly of the kind usually described as
land Others"
Our amazement is due to the fact that
there are quite handful of men
about town who would cheerfully agree
to preside and allow their names
to be printed in the list of speakers. If
there is any difficulty about the matter
we can accordingly only conjecture that
the BARKIssEs who are willin' are not of
the kind that even the gentlemen who
are getting up the mass meeting of pro-
test care to have at the forefront of
their movement, possibly for the reason
that only a newspaper so daft upon the
subject as to be lost to all sense of
humor could find space to print their re-
marks.
Indeed we shouldn't wonder il the
mass meeting failed to mass. The press
agent who started out so vigorously TO
boom things having been compelled to
subside, under the stress of declinations
to protest, neither this newspaper nor its
contemporaries has had an opportunity
to properly boom the occasion. We
have been told, to be sure, that two or |
three gentlemen named to us are going
to speak, but we hesitate to print their |
names lest we might embarrass them by
assuming too previously that our in
is correct. Our readers will |
have to remain content, for the present. |
with the simple assurance that the "and |
others" will express themselves elo-
luently on this occasion.

THE MASSACHUSETTS MILLS.

FALL RIVER. Mass, Nov. 21-The
mill situation ir this city is by no
means discouraging, although In two
weeks the total sales have amounted
10 less than fourth of the production.
The price held att 3H cents nominal,
and to-day the market opened quiet,
even 10 duilnesS.
Manufacturers think the mild wealth
er of the autumn has had cousidera-
BILE TO do with the trade.
IN what are known as staple cottouS
the heavy orders of a few months ago
are still untitled and the local mills
are fairly well engaged until January.
VI the 100000 pieces produced week
~, $4,000 pieces will be shipped next
week, and $4,000 pieces each week in
December. Under these conditions
there can be no great accumulation of
stock here, and the fact is cncourag-
ing.
The uncertainty of the cotton mar
ket is having the effect of strengthen
ing the demand of manufacturers for
higher prices.
That the profits OF the past year
were large has already been told i'm the
quarterly statement of dividends. and
it is reflected i'm numerous additions
to mill property now being made.
The days are fast passing when mills
here will make only standard printing
cloths.
Last week, for example the stock Of
goods held here was 100000 pieces. and
of that amount only 10000 pieces were
regulars, $4,000 being odds. There is
no change in the strike affairs at the
Mechanics Mill.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The Stats, COM
menting on the new gold loan, says
"Three and one-half per cent bonds are
a good investment, and will be eagerly
sought, but they will not end the crisis.
Gold will go to a premium, but the
United States will pay its creditors gold,
though its domestic currency is silver,
the same as Russia and India pay gold. J"
The Econmist says it is absurd to pre-
tend that the United States is under
obligations to pay gold. The case, the
paper says, is identical with that of In
dia, which, if it elects gold loan, can
borrow at less rate than per cent,
but has to pay an additional per cent
for a rupee loan.
