Tbfy discus th trin- of n- tlooallsra upon lnvetn.ents. Smith How ii the investment busi Bess, nowadays? ... u.nkor A bad as dossi- ble. I've been in it thirty years, but I never bad so much difficulty in advising people where to invest money as I am having now. Of course, there are plenty of enterprises which would be glad to take all they could get. but I'm not look ing out merely for my commission; I have a little reputation as a careful ad viser which I want to keep, eve a if I lose some money. Smith Then I take it you dont re commend railroad securities. I. B. There are some which every body knows are sound, but of course everybody knows also that the railroad business in this country is in a condition of corruption and chaos, which makes the securities of the majority of lines purely speculative investments. I dont deal in them. Smith According to your notion, what is the matter with the railroad sys teair ' I B. General cnssedness; a hopeless complication of bad morals and crazy economics. , , ,. Smith Do you think that the decline in railroad securities is pretty near at an end? , . , I. B. By no means! The end isnt in sight. The decline will not touch bot tom till every water dollar has been squeezed out of the goods. Then the government will step in and take them at their actual valuation; for, of course, anybody is bound to see that govern ment ownership of the railroad system ii the only possible logical or proper outcome ot the present intolerable sit uation. Talking about the decline in railroad securities now going on, this same prospect of government purchase, which is looming up bigger and plainer every day, is a very good reason itself for predicting that the decline will con tinue till the true valuo is reached, be cause it is certain that wten the govern ment takes the roads, it will not pay more than their actual valuation. Smith I should think that, as a gov ernment ownership man, you would find yourself rather lonesome among the financiers. , I. B. Don't suppose any such thing. No honest banker or broker has any de sire to deal in securities which, like those of our railroads at present, are nothing but the marked cards of profes sional gamblers. Let the government buy the roads, and we shall have, in place of these devices of fraud, national bonds at two per cent; and then we and our customers will know where we stand. The change will not enly be an ennrmous rain to the people Ft large, but will steady the whole financial world. Smith Does not the same argument apply generally in favor of national and muncipal purchase of telegraph lines, express companies,street-lighting plants and street railroad systems? There are very few of these concerns which are not at present greatly . over-capitalized, and their securities consequently either unstable, or likely to be so, if the truth were known. Would it not be a boon to the investing public, as well as to the iwnnln at larce. if all these concerns were bought out at actual valuation by the government, and public bonds at low rate of interest took their place? . I. B. Certainly; the same argument applies to all these classes of investments. -1 never recommend a customer to invest in telegraph, street car or any of those ' lines of securities without finding out whether they are over-capitalized; ior, as surely as public ownership of such ; r F .1 :-. : 11 in the end, be scaled down to actual val uation. Smith What do you say about the stock of tne big manufacturing trusts, the "industrials," as investments? I. B. The operations of the sugar trust have given a black eye to that sort of security. No doubt some of them are zood, if one could know the inside sit uation, but, as a rule, they are specula tive, and the man who loses by invest ing in them can't expect much sympa thy. Smith I observe, of late, that the craze for stocking industrial and com mercial businesses is snreadinz at such a rate among the smaller concerns that we shall soon be able to buy "hares in peanut stands and barber shops. I. B. Yes; and it is a mighty un healthy sign, too. Some of these invest ments are doubtless sound, but in manj cases I judge they are speculative, oz mere devices too make a profitable dis position of a declining business. I see that in some instances the employes are "permitted" to take stock. As a rulo, I would advise them to take good advice before availing themselves of the "per mission." When they have taken stock their employers nave a hold on them they did not have before, while on the other hand, being in a minority as stock holders, they are as powerless as ever as to the management. Smith But what do you let your cus tomers invest in? Supposing a man, through no fault of his own, has a little money, what are you going to let him do with it, pending the arrival of the good time coming? Must he bury it in the ground ? Uow about real estate? LB. I have no objection to that. It is certainly safer than any of the invest ments we have mentioned. But my chief line is public bonds, national and municipal. I believe they are the com ing f.acurity. As public ownership and control through the purchase of private plants exteuds over one branch of busi ness after another, national and munici pal bonds will take the place of the stock and bonds of private companies and cor porations until there are no other secur ities in the market. Smith Bnt they will not be perma nent. They will be in constant course of extinguishment by the operation of sink ing funds, till finally there are none left, and the nation owns the entire national estate and complete machinery of pro duction in fee absolute. I. B. Precisely; the progress of na tionalism will of course eventually put an end to the investment business alto gether by putting an end to the interest system and dispensing with the private capitalist entirely. I only say that na tional and municipal bonds will survive longer than any other form of securities, and are therefore, in my opinion, the best. Smith So far as I understand you, then, there is nothing in the programme of nationalism that need cause any pan ic among financiers. I. B. Nothing at all, I am sure. The advent of nationalism means, Indeed, a judgment day sooner or later for all false values and fraudulently inflated enterprises, for the nation will not pay for water, but otherwise the expectation of nationalism will, by the justice of its method and the clearness and certainty of its evolution, have a steadying effect on the genera market. As a financier, I confess, indeed, to a certain scientific pleasure in contemplating the exceed ingly simple and logical character of the nationalist programme in its finan cial aspect. The first phase will tw the gradual substitution, at a rate of inter est necessarily ruling ever lower, of pub lic for private securities, as the process of public acquisition gees on. Two no ticeable feature wiii characterize this phase. In the first place, in proportion as business becomes public, with the publie credit behind it, it will become steadied, and panic and crises will be diminished, a result further contributed to by the ncn fluctuf.ting value of the public bonds which will more and more take the place of the securities of the bcught-out private corporations. The other feature will be the diminishing value of money to its possessors, owing to the constantly narrowing fielu for in employment and the declining rate of inient. Meanwhile, however, aa this process goes on. the extension of public employment with constantly enlarging guarantees as to maintenance to the em ployed and the dependent, will be grad ually substituting a national pledge of security for a precarious dependence upon private hoards. Th e second phase of the transformation will consist In the progressive extinction, by the sinking funds, of the principal of the public debt. Long before that process has been completed, it is my opinion that the owners of public securities will largely waive their claims, for in proportion as the public monopoly of business has pro gressed, their money will not only have been deprived of earning power, but in for employment and maintenance is completed, of its buying power also. Money may still retain nominally its former legal tender power for debts, but there will be no debts! nor any buying or celling among citizens; nor will men longer be able to buy services 01 one an other. The nation will be sole employ er and sole producer, and to the naticn all must go for the supply of their needs But citizenship will be the only basis of demand whicn tne nation recognizes; meney will be of no use or even mean ing in negotiations to obtain so much as a loaf of bread from the nation; nor on the other hand will a ton of gold be ac cepted in lieu of the performance of the least duty which the citizen, tinder the equal law of service, owes the nation. Smith You have figured down the evolution to the last link in the chain, but I suDDOse weshail agree that as soon as the people become fully conscious of the new order towara wnicn tney are moving, and begin to appreciate its ad vantages, the consummation is likely to be greatly acce'e rated by some general action taken with common consent. The first steps in the movement, its ed ucational stage, will, no deubt, pro ve to nave been tne slowest ana most aiuicuit. Put a Stone in its Place. . A Miser to make sure of his property sold all that he had and converted it in to a great lump of gold, which he hid In a hole in the ground, and went contmu ally to visit and inspect it. This aroused the curiosity ot one of his workmen, who, suspecting there was a treasure, when his master's back was turned, went to the spot and stole it away When the miser returned and found the placo empty he wept &nd tore his hair Bat a neighbor who saw him in his ex travagant grief, and learned the cause of it, said "fret thyself no longer, but take a stone and put it in the same place, and th'.nk that it is your lump of gold: for as you never meant to use it the one will do you as much good as the other." If Uncle Sam will empty out the gold and silver which is locked up in the treasury and put a lot stones in their place it will do just as well. The one will do just as much good (when locked up in the treasury) as the other. Words of Encouragement for State Agent Hartley. Wallace, Lincoln Co., Aug. 25. J. W.

Waite, members of the Alliance from Saliae county, were in Lincoln on shopping expedition last week. They were well satisfied with goods and prices of the state Agency and ex pressed themselves as well paid for coming to Lincoln to purcnase. Over 200 old men responded to a re cent advertisement of a New York firm asking for three old men to do easy work, lhe reporter s heart was touched by the stories and appearance of the 107 disappointed applicants. " have been searching for employment, said one, "for two years, and, with the exception of a few odd jobs, I have failed utterly. 1 now have poorer health, poorer spirits and less money than when I began to work for my liv ing, and I see nothing before me but in creased suffering ana smaller prospects every day. There is no place in our civ ilization for old men. I blame no pne. I simply recognize the fact that I am not needed in the world and it is best that I leave it." The old man may not have been responsible for his poverty, but sombody is. This is a brutal civil ization. The worthy are often the weak; but the weak are not wanted Society reserves i'js crown for those who can make money, and buckets of it. New Nation. E Plurlbus Unum. He slushed into a saloon on Jeffer son avenue, saya the Detroit Free Press, and coming to a dress parade with his front resting on the counter, he said to the man behind the white pron: "Got any of the elixer of life?" "Yep," responded the barkeeper. a"Fountain of youth?" "Yep." "Golden glory of joy?" "Yep." "Nectar of the gods?' "Yep." "Distilled delight?" "Yep." "Liquid tenderness?" "Yep." "Fluid extract of perfect happiness?" "Yep." "Angels' food?" "Yep." "Essence of the tasselled field?" "Yep." "Oil of gladness?" "Yep." "Hope of my soul?" "Yep." "Well, gimme'em all," he said, lay ingdowna qauarter,and thebarkeeper, without a single Question, reached under the counter and handed him out a bottle of geruine old bourbon and he took it eagerlj, LINCOLN'S LIFE DXAalATIZED Incident of Hi LIT Taken From Th Fllee of Th Hen-aid and Mad Into a Play. Messrs. McKea Rankin and Archie Gordin, looking around fora subject for a play a few months ago, bit up on the idea of gathering together the sensational incidents of Abraham Lincoln's life and dramatizing them. They could think of no other Ameri can who would prove to good a sub ject, and the possibilities which they saw in a play written around his life kept growing as the work progressed. The play is now finished and arrange ments have already been made for its presentation in the West early in the tall. The action of the play opens January 1, 1863, and closes with the death of John Wilkes Booth after he had assassinated the President. Speaking about the play the other Jay Mr. Gordon said that the inci dents in Lincoln's life which were used were furnished by Arnold's "History of Lincoln," Mr. John Hay's book, and most of all from the files of the Herald. "We are indebted to the Herald most of all for our incidents," said Mr. Gordon, "and Mr. Rankin and myself found it a perfect phonograph of the time in which Lincoln was at the head of the government." An effort is made in the play to show Lincoln in his duality as President of the United States and the head of the White House family. The play is in five acts, the first end ing with the signing of the document of emancipation, the second with the conspiracy of John Wilkes Booth to abduct the President, the third with the failure of the plot, the fourth with the assassination of Lincoln and the fifth with Booth's death in the blazing barn. The characters shown, besides Presi dent Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth, are Messrs. Seward, Stanton, Chase, Montgomery, Blair and Gideon Wells: Mrs. Surratt, who was hung; Miss Surratt, John Surratt, Ella Turner and Mrs Lincoln. The principal scene will be the as sassination, and this will be worked as realistically as possible. There are twenty-seven speaking characters in all in the play, and it is proposed to have a force of supernumeraries of over two hundred. One point to be aimed at in the play will be to show the various celebrated people connect ed with President Lincoln s adminis tration as they really were and not make the characters mere dummies. , It is quite possible that tlie-pUy will 6e seen in this city before the holidays. Negotiations are now pending with several well known actors, and the managers of the play mean to give ii-. first-class production. Mr. E. J. Hen ley will probably be engaged to play the part of John Wilkes Booth. It has not been decided yet who will play the part of the martyr President. HARD ON THE DRUMMER. He Hit th Junior-Partner Whlli Out on th Road. A traveling man at the Russell House told this one: "I had a mem orable experience the first time I came to this hotel. I was out of college only a short time, and was engaged by the senior partner of a big firm to travel for his house. He was an old friend of my father, and that helped me in securing the position as well as the liberal terms allowed me. Here at this hotel on my first trip I met a very pleasant gentleman who said he was from New York, and we put in several pleasant days together. I was smoking the best cigars, drinking the finest liquors and doing the grand generally, everything being covered under the broad head of expenses. When my friend asked about my house I lauded the senior part ner, but said the junior was some thing of a chump with whom I had no dealings and about whom I cared nothing. I remained a day or two over time just to enjoy my friend's company and then we parted. When I again reported in New York the first man I met in the office was my friend. As I shook hands the senior said: 'O, you're acquainted are you? That's Mr. , the other member of the firm..' I'd have been glad to go up in a pillar of fire, blushed like a milk-maid at a presidential reception, and was about to offer my resignation when my friend came to the rescue, told me to say nothing, and treated me like a prince. But when he got me alone! He didn't storm or scold, but he gave me a talk that made me feel smaller than one of those five-cent China dolls. It cured me, made me a different man, and I've trotted square ever since. Between you and me, the old man's dead now, and I'm the junior." De troit Free Press. Confidence of Mother and Daugh ter, There are many things which a girl should learn from her mother, and which it would be easy for you to tell her, if there were an unbroken habit of confidence from earliest childhood. It is a mistaken idea so utterly false and mischievous it must have been originated by the very spirit of evil that there is a want of delicacy in a mother speaking to her child of sub jects which are absolutely essential to her future welfare: How a mother can be cruel enough to let her child go forth to meet life unprotected by such knowledge passes comprehension. The tender, delicate being is placed in your keeping. If you look back on your own childhood, you will know that early, yery early, before you dream of approaching danger, the veil of ig norance, which too many confound with purity, will be rent asunder by other hands than yours. You will be robbed of what ought to be your dear est privilege. Ladies' Home Journal. Tha Woman Who Laughs. For a good every-day- household angel give us a woman who laughs. Her biscuit may not always be just light, and she may occasionally burn his bread and forget to replace dislo cated buttons, but for solid comfort all day and every day she is a para gon. Home is not a battlefield, nor life one long, unending row. The trick of always seeing the bright side, or, if the matter has no bright side, of shin ing up the dark one, is a very import ant faculty, one of the things no wo man should be without. We are not all born with the sunshine in our hearts, as the Irish prettily phrase it, but we can cultivate a cheerful aegse Of humor if we only try. Rural DRIVINO IN LONDON. nr Bar Bmmm llM Wktik Ara ra4 Xnkm Kit, England is the only place I know of where they drive to the left English drivers say that by sitting on the right and driving to the left they can better watch the bub ot approaching vehi cles, and thus prevent collision. I don't exactly understand this, but it is the explanation they give for driving to the left Quick going vehicles will turn a corner sharply, hut th driver raise! his whip to notify the vehicle in bis immediate rear that be is about to turn. "Cabbies" are more considerate concerning fellow-driver than they are thoughtful about the lives and limbs of pedestrians. All their atten tion is given to the roadway. Pede trians must look out for themselves or be run over. That is why so many of the London police are engaged solely in ttSidjn jo street traffic. Yet, witn ajj tbeTJ vigilanc?, morf accidents occur in Jonqon, proportionately, than elsewhere. London drivers are polity and very civil to each other. If To obstruction appears In front of a horse, or if for any reason he is obliged sud denly to slow up, the driver will im mediately notify the driver in the rear by holding out horizontally his left arm; and this sign is passed down from one driver to another until th. very end of the line of blocked vehi cles is reached.
