WILD LANDS
Assessors Have Visited Four Of Eight
Wild Lands Counties.
Some Features Of their investigations During
Past Few Weeks.

Hon. George Pottle of the board Of
State assessors. was at the State
House, Tuesday. on his return from
meetings with wild lands wncr Up
to date. this season. there have been
four Of the eight counties attended to;
four of the largest. and over half of
the work has been done. The counties
which have been visited are .Aroos-
took. Somerset, Piscatquis and Penob-
scot. The assessors will al once start
on Oxford. Washington. Hancock and
Franklin. There will be a meeting with
the wild land owners Of Franklin
county at Pennington, next Tuesday.
The question Of equalizing assessed
valuations of wild lands is an interest
ing 1t is. by some OF the owners
asserted that the lands depreciate In
value by cutting. but this is by no
means necessarily the case. the assess
ors say. because the timberland often
reaches a stage when by cutting a
chance is given the remaining trees
to grow all the better for it. when by
not cutting the forest would show no
growth. In substantiation of this, a
case is noted of a wild lands owner who
has sold $4,000 worth Of timber from
bis land during the past four years,
and. at the meeting held a few days
ago. made no claim. whatever. for a
reduction in the assessed valuation.

TOO BROAD A STATEMENT.
FREQ Coinage Would Mako Demand for
Many Additional Dnys. Inbor.

FREQ Coinage Would Mako a Demand for
Many Additional Days Labor.
Maj. Mckinley in his formal letter ac-
cepting the republican nomination for
president declared that the free coin
age of silver would mot make farming
less laborious or more profitable. 1t
would not start factory or make de-
,nand for an additional days labor"
If free coinage will mot start a fac.
tory or make demand for an additions
al days labor" then what becomes of
the stereotyped argument that .hc pro-
duction of silver will be enormously in
creased and the country flooded with
1t? How can the production be largely
increased without giving employment
to more men in the mines? How can
more men find work in the mines with
out adding TO the working force of the
reduction mills? How can more mines
Resume operations and more mills start
without creating demand for more
food, clothing, machinery and supplies
OF every kind? How can all of these
things occur without eastern farms and
factories getting some of the benefits ?
So, If we look at it simply as a matter
OF silver mining, the statement is entire
~ too broad, and Mr.. Mckinley had bet
fer think n little UNCONSTITUTIONAL BIZ
Inetallist.

A Prophecy PuIalIeh

To undertake to do the business of the
world on single gold basis of measure
inent and equivalents mean loss, bank
ruptcy, poverty, suffering. and despair,
debts will grow larger and taxes become
more onerous. The farmer will receive
small prices for his crops, labor will be
forced down, down. down, and there will
be long series of strikes, lockonts and
suspension of productions. Those
who own property but owe for i. in part,
will see their mortgages increasing in
proportion as gold acquires the pur-
chasing power, while the property itself
viii be shrinking in value. There will
be no relief. it must be kept in mind, for
gold will be the only recognized equiv
alent of values. the stock of gold with its
power will be constantly growing. and
the circle of wealth wifi be uniformly
eontracting.-Chicago Tribune, Janu-
airy 16, 1873.

the struggle now going on in this

unfair advantage over every other
species of property. If, as the
most reliable statistics affirm, there
are nearly $1,000, 900, 900 of coin or

Business Transacted and Prices Paid at
Home and Abruad

NEW YORK. Nov. 2s-The stock market
today in moderate and Indifferent distribu-
ted dealings sagged sharply under ag-
gressive movements by the bears against
the high priced stocks with liquidation in
specialties. The news of the day was en-
couraging but owing to the peculiar specu-
lative conditions existing failed entirely of
effect. ripple Of firmness was apparent
in the early trading but the selling pressure
soon turned the scale, The closing was
AZ about the lowest. The course of prices
during the week was disappointing 10 the
bulls as efforts TO establish a higher range
were nullified by persistent bear aggression
and a constant dribbling out of long stock.
IL is believed the short interest has been
materially increased however. The liqui-
dation was most pronounced in the high

appearance OF Investment ana outside
speculative interests and the apathy of
leading operators usually identified. with
the long side of the market. The declining
tendency was checked early in the week
and rally occurred on advances of easy
monetary conditions abroad and the dis
covery of large short interest in American
securities in London incidental to the first
ment. The dealings for foreign account
were mainly on the selling side condition
that was attributed to the uneasiness re-
garding the probable action of congress in
connection with the Cuban question and
expectation of continued unfavorable
traffic returns by the granger lines. These
cOHUlllOnS diSO dSSlSltO tllt local pears ana
restricted dealings to a considerable eX-
tent. A contraction of business was noted
in the bond market and prices eased off in
sympathy with the downward trend in
stocks and dealings were chiefly confined
to the reorganization issues and on narrow
fluctuations. An investment demand for
government bonds partly stimulated by the
drop in money rates of 2d2* per cent basis,
carried thevarious issues up sharp frac-
tions, including the currency bonds, which
are usually inactive The stock market
closed weak at net losses averaging about
a point. The aggregate sales We're 1869
