These phenomena are perfectly visible in Bridgeport. They are easily perceived and lo- cal instances may be quoted, in every portion of the United States.
 The failure of dividends on the New Haven means already that some $25,OO0O0o of income has been cut off from the pockets of people who expected to receive it, as a return upon their real money, which they paid for their share of lie about property.
 Many, many, many other millions have been stopped in the same way, wherever the Americanflag waves
 The worst of it is that most of the organs upon which the people rely for the formation of sound public opinion, more or less shelter the system, which has done these things
 These influential mediums of public opin- ion give no hope of better things for the fu- ture. Having tolerated and aided colossal theft in the past. they seem to hope for the same crimes in the future and to be willing to shelter and protect such crimes again.
 The ordinary citizen with capital to invest, therefore feels that the police force and the bur glars are in conspiracy. He doesn't know which way to turn He feels his investment will De stolen from him if he makes it. There fore he doesn't make it.
 The government of the United States is try ing, against the governments of the several states, many of which are controlled by these gangs of financial Thieves to make this sort Of dishonesty and footing impossible for the fu- tuFe
 But the frieends of theft cry out that the very legislation which is designed to break up the conspiracy between government and finan- cial crookedness, is what is stopping business. It is a pitiful cry, which can only deceive the thoughtless.
 The business depression in the United States is due to lack of confidence. This lack of confidence is mental state. This mental state is derived from the common knowledge that no man can be sure that the managers he intrusts with his property wont steal it by some more or less direct sWindle.

THE GOURANTss FINANCIAL ADVICE.

rTeHE GOURANT grows optimistic as it
 LIZ grows older. Now it suggests that Bridgeport welcome the Warrenite paving con tracts and turn to something else, serene in the faith that the pavement will be all right. If we mistake not our contemporary brought the same cheerful view to the financial affairs of the New Haven system, with what result in values to stockholders is now known
 Under these circumstances we must decline to take the viewsof The Courant upon any ques- ton of financial management. The methods it approves are too costly.
 It's abiding faith in the wisdom of rule by MT. Roraback also fails to mesh with sound experience, and besides that, it leaves unconsid- cred questions of cost
 It is not enough to prove, regarding a scan daIous business transaction that something was bought that is useful. It must be shown that the price of the thing bought was right, and that the methods of buying it were not such as to inure public morals.
