1t will help toward a restoration OF
confidence If people remember that
wealth is not production of engravers
and printers, and that it is not produced
in Wall street. This crooked lane is
where 1t is dissipated. So while count
ing up the losses in the market value
of securities, it is we'll to remember
that the value of farm products in the
last seven years has increased some
billions of dollars, or enough to counter
balance the paper losses off good many
miniature panics. The situation of the
railroads is typical of the general sta
tus of all business in America at this
time, only perhaps the railroads prob
lem is a little more aggravating. They
are not suffering from dearth of bus1-
ness. but from a necessity for more ia
cilities at time when they are unable
to find the money to finance much need
ed improvements in the way of double
tracking and terminal facilities as well
as extensions.
This is one Of the most serious fea-
lures of the present situation for the
reason that the railroads are literally
the arteries of commerce. To the ex-
tent that they adequately serve the
needs of the manufacturer, the mer-
chant and the farmer, each will prosper.
If either the arteries or the blood fails,
both will suffer. Production without
transportation is useless. And neither
can be accomplished without an ade-
quate and facile money supply which
is bound to come through banking AMI
currency reforms.

Peonaee in the South.

Almost as remarkable as the vitality
of "peonage" in the gulf states was
the argument advanced by a lawyer
for the defense in the United States
circuit court, in New York, the other
day. He contended that the constitu-
tional inhibition of slavery referred
only to the kind of slavery the trainers
of the thirteenth amendment had in
mind, and that therefore the constitu-
ton should be deemed silent on
"peonage." The retort of government
counsel that peonage was Gin
voluntary servitude," seems to dispose
of the argument that it is not slavery
