De purged OF its disorderly houses and the
eastern boundary of the Division will be
west OF that street. Since Commissioner
wight came into Office he has had this
matter under consideration, and when he
returns to the city next month it will be
the first thing taken up. 1t will not be a
nasty action on his part. He has studied
the situation and believes this great thor
oughfare between North and South Wash
ington should be made respectable
Many complaints have been made against
the tenants on the street by the army of
clerks employed in the bureau of engraving
and printing, the National Museum and the
Agricultural Department. At one time the
street was under such vicious influences
that 1t was dangerous to walk along it.
Since the advent of Lieut. Amiss, however,
better condition of affairs Is said to have
prevailed, although even now there Is room
1or great improvement.
Post ONCE Building Considered.
While it is the desire of the Commission
ers to make this street respectable, pri-
marfly, because of its Importance as a
thoroughfare, the close proximity of the
new post office building makes ii impera-
tive that the disreputable houses in the i'm
mediate neighborhood be moved farther
away. There is no disposition at this time
to move the Division, although such a
thing was contemplated some time ago. At
that time the section near the old obserya-
tory grounds was considered the best place

foreseen a decreased demand for gold,
a fall in the value of the metal and

Adam Smith on Natural Talent.

The difference of natural talent in
different men is, in reality, much less
than we are aware of; and the very
different genius which appears to dis
tinguish men of different professions,
when grown up to maturity, is not.
upon many occasions, so much the
cause as the effect of the division OF
labor. The difference between the
most dissimilar Observation-Disclosures =
philosopher and common street por-
ter, for example-seems to arise not so
much from nature as from habit, Gus
tom and education. When they came
into the world, and for the first six
or eight years of their existence, they
we're perhaps very mach alike, and
neither their parents nor playfellows
could perceive any remarkable differ
ence. About that age, or soon after,
they came to be employed in different
occupations. The dlnerenos of talents
then began to be taken notice of, and
wider by degrees, till at last the van
ity of the philosopher is willing tn
acknowledge scarcely any resem.

of debtors and creditors, to the pref

A fall in the value of the precious
metals, caused by the greater facility
of their production, or by the discov-
cry of new sources of supply, depends
in no degree on the theories Of philoso-
phers or the decision of statesmen or
legislators, but is the result of circum-
stances beyond human control; and
although like fall Of rain after a
long course OF dry weather. it may be
preiudiciai to certain classes, it is ben
eficial to an incomparably greater
number, including all who are engaged
in industrial pursuits, and is, speaking
generally, of great public or national
advantage.

Byron W. Holt, of New York, In C.
recent speech before the Boston Re-
form Club, presented a startling array
of figures showing the enormous prof
its OF the sugar trust under the oper-
alton of the legislation secured at
Washington in its favor. He said that
the retail price Of granulated sugar,
which constitutes about nine-tenths OF
ali the sugar consumed in this coun-
try, is about 5h cents pound, or Is
pounds for 81. When family invests
81 in sugar it pays out about
SIS cents for sugar and As cents
for tariff. At present out of this As
cents the government is getting about
:26 cents, the refiners' monopoly 20
cents, and the sugar growers and
wholesale grocers the remaining five
cents. Next year, when the refined Is
made from the raw sugar on which
the present duties have been paid, the
government will get about rs cents
and the refners about Is cents. or the
SIS which the average family will
spend for sugar this year $40 will go
for sugar, $3.50 to the government, So
tn the sugar trust and so cents to SUI
gar growers and wholesale grocers. AS
our sugar account amounts to about
100000 900 year, the sugar trust
will this year pocket about S3O,OOO,0O0
of our sugar tax.
1t will be seen that the sugar trust
is getting by far too large proportion
Of the sugar duty. Consumers, know
ing the revenue necessities of the gov
sernment, would pay the duty with
se,1uanimity if they knew thai proper
proportion of it was going into the ma
fional treasury. 1t was reported at
the time the tariff bill was pending
that the trust was able to get about
what it wanted at the hands of COR
gress, and this appears to have proven
true. 1t accounts in a great measure
for the rise of more than $50 per share
in the sugar trusts common stock.

The Republican party, as it exists
today, is the same party in purpose, in
tiiebulk of its membership, as was the
Dai ty that stood out in resistance to the
spread of slavery, that elected Abra-
ham Lincoln to be president, that took
the lead in preserving the u.>,on of the
states from destruction. The charge
has, been only in its organization. Its
organization has brought the money
power to bear upon elections; it has
created boss-ships in the greater states
of the union; it has subjected the par
ty in those states to the rule OF one
man, who has governed 1t in the spirit
Of despot, and has made it the in

An Unmitigatcd Lie.

Wendell Phillips, being asked
what can be better than a good bank
bill with a gold dollar behind it," re-
piled, ooh, sir, that would be pretty
good money if it were not a lie. But
the whole thing is false pretense-a
swlndle. The gold dollar is never be-
hind dollar bill, except just when
no one wants it. The moment it is
really needed it is not there, and can't
be there. Why? Simply because the
worlds trade, despite all the aids of
the most recent and improved bank
ing, properly requires, say ten times
as much currency as both gold and
silver furnish The two metals COM
prise some six thousand millions each
.-$12 ,OO0, 100000 twelve thousand mill
lions in alb. This is the total accumu-
lation of the ages. But the world can't
do business, can't exchange it's com
modities, without using more than Il
hundred thousand millions of curren-
cy. So the gold and silver will not
60 around. If one country has enough
some other is drained and cornered.
Paper money was invented to over
come this difficulty. But if there is
only one metallic dollar behind ten
dollars in bank bills, or five, or three,
why not recognize the fact and not
promise an impossibility, specie re-
demption on demand? The great lie
called specie basis has destroyed the
commercial prosperity of the United
States once in about every seven years
Stree the nation started"

Sioux City Tribune: The better paid
and more intelligent the labor the bet
ter the products Of that labor and the
more easily they can compete in the
worlds markets. That is a business
fact which the American manufacturer
discovered long ago, and it would re-
suit In still higher wages and more
employment if all trade restrictions
were removed. High wages and cor-
responding skill are economical and
free trade would simply emphasize the
truth

1t is certain that since the discov.
cry of the mines in America industry
has increased in all the nations OF
Europe We find that in ev-
cry kingdom into which money begins
to flow in greater abundance than for
merly, everything takes a new face;
labor and industry gain life; the mer-
chant becomes more enterprising; the
manufacturer more diligent and skill
full, and even the farmer follows his
plow with greater alacrity and atten-
ton. 1t is of no matter OF
consequence with regard to the domes-
tic happiness of state whether money
be in a greater or less quantity. Tho
good policy of the magistrate consists
only in keeping it, if possible, still In
creasing; because by that means he
keeps alive a spirit of industry in the
nation and increases the stock of labor.
in which consists all real power and
riches. A nation whose money de-
creases is actually at that time weak
err and more miserable than another
nation which possesses no more mon
ey but Is on the increasing hand.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
SYNDICATE DEALS HERE AND
IN HONDURAS.
Corporation Ownership of Central
America Is Duplicated Practically In
sshe United States-Wlping Out or
tGovernment.

Honduras has fallen a speedy VIC
tim to the lend system which is more
deliberately but no less surely getting
its grip on nearly every municipality
in the United States, as well as on the
nation. Late in the sixties that state
issued $25 100000 Of bonds, to borrow
itself out Of a debt, but spectators
grabbed them in such manner that
only $1,000,000 was realized, leaving
the state hopelessly in debt, and hav-
ing first jumped from the frying-pan
into a slow fire, she now jumps into
a quick ole by turning over all the
custom houses and banks to syndi-
cate of New York millionaires, who
will bleed Honduras at every pore m
der pretense of discharging its debts,
and throw it away like sucked
orange when nothing more can be got
out of it, says the San Francisco Star.
This is all of piece with the past
acquisition of twenty-odd great rail-
roads and any number Of small ones by
a similar Tor perhaps partly identicaD
combin alton, some or all of the mem
bers of which are in the deal to snatch
the Union Pacific at pretended COM
petitlve" auction.
The grabbing of the Honduras GUS
tom-houses is based upon the same
principle as corporation railroad COM
binations-that Of individuals and
companies usurping the legitimate
functions of government. Carried to
its logical conclusion it would involve
contracting out the entire functions of
government to syndicates. The Hon
duras grab, though more fragrant in
appearance, is no more repugnant to
ever principle of popular govern
ment than is our present railroad and
telegraph system.
