Scarce Money Supply.
NO. ".
In the course of the prosecution
of the war vast sums of legal ten
ders were issued, a portion of which
bore interest and the other part
being United States notes, COM
monty called greenbacks, did not
bear interest and although depre
ciated in value below par with gold
coin, caused solely by the exception
clause preventing this money from
paying custom duties, it performed
its debt paying power sufficiently
well to enable our government to
crush out that gigantic rebellion.
This money also enabled the bust
ness men to carry on the immensely
vast internal trade of the country
successfully, and most successfully
for several years after the close of
the war, with but few failures
among them, until those legal ten
ders were largely reduced in volume
through funding into long term in
terest bearing bonds, when the fail
ures of the business men, idleneSs
and hard times increased in the
same ratio with the cancellation of
the legal tenders.
At the close of the war there was
generous supply of money in the
channels of trade throughout the
North which had a population of
about 25,00O,O0O. The millions of
soldiers discharged from the army
were through this liberal supply of
money enabled to find immediate
1emunerative wages. The North at
this period was likened to great
bee hive full of active workers with
an abundance of cash to work with.
Thus prosperity revived through
out that portion of the country.
The New York Herald was out
every few days with an editorial
urging the people to subscribe suf
ficient money to pay off at once the
national debt. The South with a
population Of about 10,0OO,0OO was
in a most deplorable condition
through the ravages of war, also
from decay for the want of money
to keep things in repair, and much
misery existed in that portion of
our beloved land. The currency
was Confederate notes, which were
almost worthless from the first issue
because they were issued by an
unstable government in rebellion,
"C1O Poolly ChSldNCu anu ldIScIy
counterfeited, and so well executed
that the bad note could not be told
from the genuine. They were not
made a legal tender to pay debts,
therefore had no forced debt paying
power, but were made redeemable
in coin after the success of the con
federacy, in which many of the
people had no confidence; all com
bined caused this paper currency
to be a failure from the start.
On October 81, 1865, the report
of the Secretary of the Treasury,
as published in Appleton's Gazette,
showed the money of the country
was $1,7S2, 1854, $3.50. The money
was of the following:

Jay Cooke was private banker
of Washington city, who was prom
inent in effecting large loans for the
government during the war of the
rebellion. He was the first very
prominent person that failed at the
breaking out of the panic of 1873,
caused by the heavy contraction of
the money circulation, in which
work he was one of the principal
parties. His failure was said to be
for 100000, and his property
was turned over to a receiver, who
not being able to dispose of it,
owing to the great scarcity of
money, held it until the panic
ceased, when after settling all debts,
the receiver turned over in 1881 to
Jay Cooke property of the value
OF 100000. Mr.. Cooke is now
living in his palatial castle,
"Ongontz," near Philadelphia,
and, it has been reported, now sees
the folly and wreckage of that con-
traction policy; also, that he is an
earnest advocate of the free coinage

Uses OF TfaQry.

For many years most of the emery has
been brought from Turkey and the Greek
islands. Its value for cutting and polish
ing has been known since the beginning of
history. Very crude methods are in use
for obtaining this substance for market.
Enormous fires are built on or against the
rocks, which are then broken or cracked
by throwing jets of cold water against
them. Emery has many uses, among which
arc its employment in polishing and cut
ting. Being SO unmanageable, IL for long
time delicd the efforts OF man TO put it in
TO available shape, but at length 1t was
cemented into disable FORMS and 1t was
nodded into wheels. Emery millstones are
a later day Improvement They are the
most practical of all stones, because they
arc not affected by heat and the face Is
always sharp. As cutting and polishing
powder, emery is of great value, and emery
sandpaper Is an important article OF manu-
facturo. New York Ledger

Tho Story of Canned salmon.

The fish are swimming near the surface
now, and IL they look up they will sec
upon every pole which rises from the wall
of mesh either a hawk, an eagle or great
gull ready to pounce upon them. They
dive and try TO swim under the weed.
They cannot The water is shallow, and
the weed rises from the very bottom.
Meanwhile hawks and eagles are busy, q
panic ensues, few fish dart through the
narrow way 1t is more open beyond, and,
after all, 1t leads in the right direction.
The general impulse is to go forward. No
one wants to turn back, and, like sheep,
they follow their leaders through the gates
of death, for after this it is all over with
the salmon. Before long the wide pool
narrows again. Again straight way lies
beyond them, and before long they are
crowding and jostling each other in u
pound 80 feet by 80 feet where they stay,
hopelessly confused and dashing wildly
from side to side until a steamer comes
along with scow in tow On the scow Is
a crane. Chains from the crane are hitched
on to the net, which is below the pound,
and some thousands of strong, free fish,
who had an hour ago the whole sea TO
swim in, are drawn up to the surface and
ladled out In scoop nets, knocked on the
head, thrown on the scow and carried of
to the American cannerics at Point Rob-
erts, where they go through "a sausage ma
chine and become "canncd salmon. -

One Of the Most Novel Of the Rapid Transis
Schemes.


Schemes.
Here h the oldest bicycle railroad scheme
ever heard Of:
Persons travelling over the public high
way between Mount Holly and Smithyille,
N. j., are startled TO see men gliding by
and out Of sight at high rate of speed,
down In the meadows, n short distance
from the public road, ON what appear to be
inverted bicycles, secured i'm some way TO
what looks very much like AN uncompleted
line of Tcnce This Is ''the Hotchkiss BIZ
cycle railway"
Mount Holly. He told Of his many inyen-
tions The greatest, he said, was the BIZ
cycle railway 1t was the big thing of tho
future.
There would he no right Of way to buy,
either in rural communities or cities. Be-
ing semiaerial, IL would be out of the way
of all other traffic. The rails could be laid
on brackets extending over the street, on
awning posts and from telegraph poles and
trees ia the country, and having nothing
In its way great speed could bo made over
1t for long distances.
The machines were very much like an
ordinary bicycle turned upside down,
split up the middle and placed upon the
track like clothespins. In front and back
of the rider were grooyod wheels about o
inches In diameter, both resting upon a
steel rail, wedge shaped like knife blade
and almost as sharp.
This was fastened to 3 by inch plank,
securely fastened To posts at frequent in
tervals.
There being but little friction or weight
propulsion was easy, requiring but slight
expenditure OF energy, and this latter and
very important element was generated
from ratchet gear and clutch levers in
stead of pedals.
Receptaclos for packages and even small
"trailers" could be added Tandem ma
chimes with plush cushions would enable
men to take their wives and sweethearts
riding. Letters patent were TO bo issued
In all countries and territorial rights sold.
The scheme made hit A company was
formed and tho road put in operation. 1t
passes over wood and farm land. The
scenery is exquisite. For quarter of q
mile from Mount Holly the road Is double
track During the remainder of the dis
tance the Rancocas creek gets in the way
ii times and Is crossed on pilings driven
"single file"
But when the farmers want to get into
their fields and let down strip of fence
the next luckless rider that comes along Is
dumped There has been endless wran-
Cling over the right of way.
The employees Of the big machine shops
at Smithville go on the bike railroad TO
and from their homes In Mount Holly.
But the scheme has never paid even the
cost of operation. The track is getting
rickety and sadly out of plumb. The in
ventor, dlsgustcd, has sold out his interest
and gone to Florida. York World
