STANDARD ROPE AND Tw1NE.

The first reorganization of the COrdage company

a considerable reduction, but the remaining So 500

to manage the company. Any enc who has read
the four annual reports can understand that the
company has little prospect of earning per cent
on its total capital If the Standard company is to
be made a permanent concern paying interest on
It's bonds and something to its shareholders, its

the holders of the latter. Capable management

necessary TO pay per cent or per cent on the
Capitalization suggested after paying interest on

paid on the company's stock its bonds should sell

POSITION OF EXCHANGE.

Offerings of cotton bills are very large In fact,
they are too large for the market to digest readily.
There is some investment buying of long sterling.
but exchange bankers say there is no margin of
profit except in the possibility that by the time the
bills run to sight demand sterling will be higher.
Money rates are adverse to these operations. and
there is ACTUAL scarcity of funds for such in
vestment on account Of the drain of currency TO
the South. There a report that 100000 gold
had been engaged for Importation but this was de-
ried by all the foreign exchange houses, although
they admitted that import movement seemed
near at hand. 1t the opinion Of some Of the
foreign bankers that If call money rates should
advance to-day to 3l2 or per cent gold would be
taken at once.

CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN.

A. Oppenhem. vice-president of the Chicago Great
Western Railway, says:
We had a large business in September in hauling
wheat from Kansas City to Minneapolis. There
not enough return freight, however. and our
empty mileage worked against net earnings for
the month. Net for September will show de-
crease, as will most of the other roads in the
Northwest, a result of the short wheat crop
and the high cost of materials in the expense aC-
count. October will be better, especially in the
volume of business, In November we shall begin
to get the benefit of comparing lower cost of sup
plies bought this year with high cost supplies
last year. This will help net earnings from No
vember We expect net results for the year
to be fully up to those of last year. In fact. we
cannot see how the earnings of our system can

business We building up local business all the
time as well as gaining on the volume Of through

New-York tribune., 1900-10-09
INTERNATIONAL TRADE.

The trend of international trade is shown by the
fact that in the eight months ending with August
1900 imports of materials for use in manu-
featuring amounted In round numbers to soc 100000
against little $OOOOOOOO in the corresponding
months of 1896. and the exports of manufactured
goods $3 co., against S63 100000 in the cor
responding months Of 1896. The total imports of
the eight months exceeded by S93 900 900 the imports
of the corresponding months Of 1885, while the single
item of manufacturers materials itself showed an
increase of $1,000 900. Raw materials for use in
manufacturing formed in the eight months of 1895
but 2S6 per cent of the total imports while in the
corresponding eight months of 1900 they formed S52
per cent.

Gross railway earnings for the fourth week in
September sustained an average decrease of about
per cent There would have been no decrease
but for the fact that the fourth week this year
contained one less working day than the

days, and this transformed small increase in gross
into a small decrease. Daily earnings for the

REMARKS ON BRUNSWICK.

Theodore Cox has this to say the decline in the
stock of the Brunswick company:
The worst thing In the Brunswick situation is
the fact that the Board of Directors is in my
opinion pursuing altogether wrong policy. At
the last meeting of the Board, and Notwithstanding
strenuous opposition my part, II voted to
lend money to people who have a scheme of rail-
road building which seems to me at least very
far from wise. The cash surplus of the company
has fallen below $4,000. and the company is piling
up a deficiency. l have been a believer in the
property. but think continuation of the present
policy will lead to a assessment the shares.

Of course. is rich. net all Of IL win pay the
cost OF working; but new discoveries are
being made all the time. and there re-
mains no doubt that rich diggfngs will
continue to BE- opened for years to come.
1t may be counted as absolutely certain
that the gold output of Nome next year
win surpass that OF the second year OF
the Kiondike: and those familiar with
both regions are of the opinion that the
former IS incomparably richer and will
add far more to the worlds stock of gold.
by virtue Of its greater area OF promising

years from now, the glowing anticipa-
tions of the first discoveries of gold at
Nome viii be not only equaied but dis
tanced. though the development has not
proceeded exactly along the lines Of orig
inal expectation. And that is the history

the ouadrenn,si surprise.

It is constant source Of surprise, even
to some OF the American people them
selves. and to all European nations save
the British It is absolutely inexplicable to
observe the perfect equanimity with which
the results OF a national election are ac-
cepted, and the manner In which all the
heat and passion Of bitter political con-
test are dissipated the instant that the
result Is announced The verdict Of the
people, as recorded by the ballot, is taken
with the most absolute good faith and
good temper, and the unfortunate few
who put up belated cutlery OF fraud
and coercion as having affected the result
find few sympathixers, even few listeners.
no matter what foundation Of truth there
may be, in isolated instances. for their
charges.
This ready acceptance Of the popular
verdict. this acquiescence in what at times
may be a perfect change in the entire
policy Of the national government in for
eign and domestic affairs, although that
result may have been achieved by the
minutest fractional preponderance of the
vote, is the one distinctive mark OF the
capacity Of the people for slf-govern-
ment: and so far II is witnessed only
among the people who are the fnheritors
OF Anglo-saxon traditions.
Tho principle that the majority must
rule no matter how small may be the
faction by which the numerical preponder-
ance is determined, IL the cornerstone OF
government by the people. No people is
fit to take up the work of self-govern-
ment until educated to the point when
they accept this as automatic. and do
this as matter Of course. without
thought Of dispute. Yet for the past three
Of four months the people of this coun-
try have been listening with patience TO
a swarm of orators who. in defiance OF
reason, have been insisting that half
savage people. Just commencing to emerge
from barbarism. and divided into num-
qualified TO assume the task OF setting up
a government based on the principle of
majority rule and minority acquiescence.
as are the people of the United States.
This Is an argumnt Of which the country
viii hear but little hereafter. A loyal
and universal acquiescence in the will of
the majority is one Of the most convinc-
ing proofs of a high civilization.
