Trading Was Very Light and Fluctuations
 Were Narrow.
 New York, Jan. 1.-The market to- day was an unimportant affair, as the trading was very light and the fluctu- ations narrow The first of the gold in- ported from Europe arrived last night and to-day. The total receipts were slightly in excess of $3,000,0 nearly all of which was deposited either in the sub-trea sury or in the assay office. few hundred thousand dollars im- ported by a stock brokerage firm through banking house having for eign connections were delivered to the Hon. Russell Sage.
 The weekly statement of averages of the associated banks is unusually con- sistent. It shows a decrease in loans of $7,372,0 0O0, which is not surprising, in view of the restriction that has been placed upon business. This draft upon the deposits is very nearly offset by an Increase of $7,S16,000 in lawful money, the greater part of which is in legal tenders. The increase. in lawful money results from heavy disbursements by
 
 the interior. The net result is an in crease. and a substantial one, of over $7, 7,400,O00 in the surplus reserve. As compared with the final prices of last Saturday the list Is irregular.

An Infamous SYstem.

Any system or policy of government
that robs people of their homes is in
famous, and If there is no other way of
changing it, then it should be done by
revolution.
The record of home robbery within
the past twenty years is startling. Take
one state, and very good one for illus
tration, Minnesota. During the past
thirteen years there were 2,0S7, 100
acres of farm lands foreclosed, and the
owners driven out of their homes. On
this land dwelt SO, 45S farmers. who
were all set adrift. In the towns and
cities of the same state during the same
time 7,112 town lots were foreclosed
and not redeemed. Here is another
army Of homeless men started out to
tramp for living. Must the people
submit to a villainous system of rep
resentation of their nature? If they
do they don't desire liberty.-Southern

Government Ownership a Success.

Christian Standard: The United
States Commercial Agent at Weimar,
Germany, has made a report on the
Prussian railroad system under govern
ment control, which will have bearing
on the discussion of the ownership for
control of common carriers in this land.
He shows that last year the gross re-
ceipts from these railways amounted
to $244, ,467, ia, or more than half of the
entire revenues of the state The net
earnings, deducting $53,24O, 500 interest
on working capital and sinking fund,
amounted to $51 ,O51, 900, which will be
turned into the treasury for the use Of
the state. The sum is larger than the
income derived from taxes OF all kinds.
1t is very certain that this question of
state ownership or control will be one
of increasing interest among us, and
results Of advanced experiments across
the sea will be studied by all concerned
in the right solution of a difficult prob
lem.

Over two months ago, Walter Well
man, the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times-Herald, write that
paper: President Cleveland, | am able
to say on competent evidence, believes
1t would be better for the democratic
party to take a gold standard position
on the money question and lose the
election than declare for free coinage
and win, it."
On the 18th Of April the Washington
correspondent OF the Evening Post OF
New York, telegraphed this paper that,
in case the silver men control the Chi
cagO convention, and declare for the
free coinage of the white metal, there
will be a wholesale administration bolt
of the regular democratic ticket, be-
ginning with the president"
1t will be remembered that, more than
a year ago, Secretary Carlisle declared
he would oppose the election of free
silver man to the presidency should one
be nominated
AyeaT. prior to this declaration of the
secretary of the treasury, Secretary
Morton, of Nebraska, headed a bolt
from the regular democratic Organiza-
tion in his state, and has recently
caused to be elected contesting gold
bug delegation to the Chicago conven-
tion to antagOnize the free silver dele
cation headed by Mr. Bryan.

Gratis are preparing to send contesting
delegation from that state while, even
in Colorado, with its overwhelming free

will be expected TO recognize these bolt

TOM WATSONISMS
AN INTERESTING REPORT FROM
SECRETARY CARLISLE.
FIfty-sII Million Dollars of the People
Money Paid aS Premium on BondS
Not Due, and Then More Issued.

Mr.. Carlisle has made statement
which you should read and remember;
Replying to a letter of Inquiry, Sec
retary Carlisle yesterday sent to Sen
ator Cockrell statement showing wnat
was done in the way Of the redemption
of the public debt from March l, 1885,
to March /, 189S The statement shows
that from 1885 to 1889 there were re-
deemed and purchased Of the loans oil
1892, 1891 and 1907, bonds amounting in
principal to 1888 $50, on which $22,-
377,123 was paid ON premiums, and $751;
82O,O57 in interest, and that from 1889
to 1893 there were redeemed and pur-
chased bonds amounting in principal
to S258, 1872 800, on which s33, ,S91 ,526 was
paid in premiums, and $12S.S2O,957 in
interest"
You will observe that S56,O0O,000 of
your money has been paid in premiums.
What is a premium in connection with
bonds?
It is something that you pay, over
and above the debt. According to Mr..
Carlisle you have paid to the bOndhold-
ens, since 1885, S56,OOO,OOO more than
you owed them.
If you care enough about 1t to eI-
anime the dates, you will find that this
premium business commenced with
Cleveland in his first term, and con-
tinued under Harrison, without break.
They dOve-tail into one another, like
tongues and groove-these old party
policies do. Harrison took up Cleve-
lands policy on the premium payments.
just as Cleveland's second administra"
tion used the plates Harrison's admin
istration had prepared 10 issue bonds
upon.
Having given away as premiums $685.
100000 to the bondholders, over and
above what We owed them, the govern"
ment naturally found itself short Of
cash.
Therefore Mr.. Cleveland calmly ap-
propriated the plates the republicans
had prepared, and went to printing
democratic bonds upon them.
Appropriations continue to increase,
extravaganza continues to empty tho
treasury, economy is not to be thoughc
of, the taxpayer has got no friends in
court, and therefore whenever the ma
tional cash box runs low, Cleveland oils
up the machine, stamps some more
bonds, sells them through his law-firm
to his old Wall street clients at private
sale, and thus gets flush Of funds again.
1t wouldn't do to start the machine
and stamp greenbacks, YOU know.
That would never do. 1t would destroy
confidence, you know. We must
maintain the public credit and the pub
lie honor, you know. Therefore we
must grind out a hundred million dol
lars in bonds which draw interest,
rather than create hundred millions
in greenbacks which would draw no in
teTest.
There are many members Of congress
who are not in Washington once u
week: many more who may be in
Washington but are hardly ever in their
seats, but henceforth you must give to
every member, whether absentee or not,
$1,000 per year for clerk hire.
A congress which continually legis-
Iates to contract the currency and lower
prices, and which continually adds to
fixed charges and salaries, is Just such
a congress as the two old parties may
be relied on to continue to give us.

OCTOGENAalAN'S HORSE STORY
The Age of the Author Commands Re-
spect for the Tale.

"This is not a fish story" the story
teller remarked. Its a horse story
with a schooner attached | heard it
coming in on train from Connecticut.
and as the man that told it was at least
80 years old and had no reason for tell
ing anything except the truth at that
time of life suppose it is true. We hap
pened to be seated together, and, after
talking about one thing and another,
something induced him to ask: Did
you ever hear of horses almost capsiz-
ing a schooner" OF course | never had
heard anything like that, and replied
accordingly
When ! was young man. he con
tinued, "a schooner came to the town
where I lived for load of horses that
had been picked up for the city. The
skipper rugged up a lot of stalls on
deck and at high tide the horses were
driven on board. 1t was late in the
afternoon before the last one was barred
in, and, being about feeding time, the
crew opened a bundle of hay and fed
the horses, first on one side and then

happened. The horses were hungry
and they were not long in sticking
their heads into the feed. Those that
had been fed first began to eat first, OF
course.
In few minutes the schooner be
gan to roll from side to side, and the
crew ran about like wild men. They
didn't know what to do, and the horses
kept on eating. 1t was this way, YOU
see: Every time the horses on one side
of the vessel had their heads down foI
hay the horses on the other side. as il
happened, hello :heir heads up while

ter of gravity changed every time Z
horse moved. and as the horses were
eating quickly the upward and down

Moralizing by Japanese Youth.

An English teacher in a japanese
school discovered, by giving out sub
jects for composition, that pupils mad
been trained to find moral in every
thing animate and inanimate. Mr..
Hearn, in his "Glimpses of Unfamiliar
Japan" gives a few specimens of The
moral ideas evoked from the native stu
dents by subjects for English compost
ton. One boy thus wrote on Mos
quitoes:" 'On summer nights we hear
the sound of faint voices, and little
things come and sting our bodies very
violently. We call them ka-in Eng
lish mosquitoes / think the sting is
useful for us, because if we begin to
sleep, the ka shall came and sting us,
uttering a small voice; then we shall be
brilged back to study by the sting"
To another pupil was assigned the bo-
tan Japanese peony) for composition,
and he wrote: THE botan is large and
beautiful to see; but it has disagree
able smell. This should make us re-
member that what is only outwardly
beautiful in human society should not
attract us. 70 be attracted by beauty
only may lead us into fearful and fatal
misfortune. Chicago Inter Ocean.
