Banking and Investment.

What the future field for the
employment CT American capital
is to be is a question deserving
attention, and is already being
asked by bankers aud investors.
The immense outlet heretofore
furnished by railroad construcs
ton and reconstruction is to a
great extent closed. Our main
lines are built. and the last one
to be financially and physically
reconstructed is now undergoing
that process. What next?'
bankers are asking. "In what
way is capital to find new
employment? Where is the new
feld?" Oyher investors are asking
similar questions,
British capital is invested the
world over, and this is true to a
consideral extent of surplus
French aud German funds; but
very few Americans place a doll
lar in foreign securities. Mr..
William Waldorf Aston is the
only notable exception to this
rule.
The American invests his
money at home. He knows no
other field. And as wealth acs
cumulates here what is to be
done with il? In what way and
at what rate is it TO be employed?
Confined as he is to his native
land, how is the investor here to
fud safe employment at a fair
return for constantly accumulate
ing money?
These are questions to be am
swered in one way only. We are
to see in the next decade lower
rates of interest and a dearth of
high-class securities. What the
effect will be on merchant, manu-
facturer, and men of other lines of
business, may be left to those in
terested, bat it is a financial axiom
that a plethora of money and a
dearth of desirable securities means
higher prices for the hitter. The
money going into the Treasury
will soon flow back into the loan
market. With peace secured upon
satisfactory terms an + of pros-
perity may be looked forward to
with confidence.
And it will doubtless be an era
which will see income from abso~
lutely safe investments reduced to
u per cent. per annum. or less,
and prices readjusted on that
basis.

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

SOME LIES BY hal LIAR.

If any additional evidence than
the pyramid of falsehoods he has
hitherto fabricated were needed to
sustain the change of name of s.our
noble State AUDITOR from Hal
Ayer to that of stHal LIAR" it is
to be found in his recently pub,
lished "People's Party Hand
Book of FACTS"
Ii would take a handbook the
size of the original to analy re these
"Facts' and show them to be a It's
sue of falsehood; but as the ARGUS
is not in the book publishing bust
ness, and as our columns are i'm
tied in space, we will adduce here
only a few Of Hal Liars s'Facts,"
Just that our readers-and our
honest Populists friends in particu-
lar, may see what an aggregation
of fel tile liars the State Executive
Committee of the Peoples Party
are, under whose auspices the hand
book is published, in the interest
Of fusion with Republicans con
mutually agreeable conditions"
On page Al, under the heading
conditions in 1885," in discussing
the marvelously prosperous condi-
ton of the penitentiary under Re-
publican Superintendent Smith,
who Gov. Russell, nevertheless
ousted for-well, don't mention
tive find this statment as to the
acreage under cultivation this year
on the Northampton Farm; cot
ton, 1900 acres; corn, 1000
acres; wheat, 400 acres; peas Is
acres; total, 2,675 acres.
On the Arson Farm they have
under cultivation this year; cot
ton, 500 acres; corn, 400 acres;
wheat, $50 acres; peas, 100 acres;
total: 1880 acres.
Mark you, now: The "Northo
ampton Farm" according to this
wonderful "Hand-Book of Facts"
has under cultivation alone, not
counting the timber land, 2 ,675
acres; and the Arson Farm, not
counting timber land, has under
cultivation, l, $50 acres
Turning to page 43, still discuss
ing the penitentiary and glorying
in its redemption from Democra-
tic plohigacy, under the heading
"Some Sample Business TRANSACT
tions,' we read as follows:
In Northampton county the
machine leased a tract Of land
for a State farm for a term Of ten
years. The tract consists of about
1900 acres in round numbers
And yet on this tract of 1900
acres in round numbers" which
includes timber land and all, the
State Executive CONS
mittee tell the people, that this
year they have under cultivation
2.675 acres-not counting garden,
plots, turnip patches, mule pas
lures and timber land.
Again it says.
In Arson county the machine,
leased 946 acres of land from r
T. Bennett for a term Of ten
years"
On this 946 acre farm the fus-
ion gang have under cultivation
this year-leaving out gardens
