Our govefnmSct * wfll pn the rights of iti.-eitisens . - abroad i at home ano will permit t techaicality to interfei of America > N / lyoov - > / FICTITIOUS A recent authority .in political economy has given it as his opinion that one of the greatest causes o ! financial distrust end commercial dis aster has its origin in the vast amounts of fictitious capital created by cor porations and foisted on the public as means of investment. The evilis nit peculiar to America , but has at- tai : ed its greatest growth on our soil. The United StaleH is as yet Itrgely undeveloped. Enormous tracts of terri tory lie idle because they require riche : 1 o"aFaw out their wealth. On the < ther hand centres of population and irado require new outlets or unite in demanding the home prodnction ol articles of daily nee. There is thus t constant demand throughout our coun try for capital , in the legitimate uec of which large profits are atsured. But while capital is demanded there it at the same time a necessity foi large sums , in most esses of sums be yond the control cf a single individual and corporations result In consequence , formed from aggregated capital , who placa a fictitious value on the enterprise by the issuance of immense quantities of stock on which future dividends are promised and must ba made. It is stated as s fact that nearly 70 per cent of all the 'corporations in this country , be they nilroad , mining or industrial in char acter , are stocked far above their real value. In order to pay dividends tc their stockholder ! the earnings oi these enteiprises rnnst bo enormous , and the rates or tariffs mnst be placec i' at a figure sufficient to pay interest or an amount of stock often twice 01 thrice the value cf the p-operty. Now , all this comes out of those wh < are dependent upon the corporation ! either as producers or consumer * Every dollar earned on watered stoc > must first be drawn from the pocket of the pe pie. Every dividend of tei per cent declared on overcapitalize roads represents an excess which i sheer robbery. The people have i right to demand for th-ir own inter Jeres's as well BS for the industm interests of the country , that corpora tions eh all bo placed on a footin ; where the publia can understand jus jvhat theirj > refits are , and whor stockholders- be protected again * the -inevitable crash which- fin nil sends such enterprises into bank ruptcy or the hands of a receiver Eight out of .every ten railroads ii the TJui.cd S ates , nine out of ever ten mining companies are over-capital izad. The pjople are the first to euf for. "Every pound of freicht and erer . pa8scns > er'is rated at an excess abov < legitimate tariff rates sufficient to eat the dividend obligations of thi road. Every pool and combinatioi made against iho interests of produc era is ratified to incressa earnings oi watereil stock. Over-capitalization o railroads is responsible fur more thar half the sins of railroad managers anc for all * the sufferings of railroad pat rons. It is the root of an evil fo which the remedy can alone be founc in ofjicul txamiuatibn and legi lativi restriction.

It.is shown that in France , previous to the existence of railways , there was ono passenger in every 335,009 killed.and one out of every 30,000 wotTnded , whereas be tween 1835 and 1875 there was but one in 5,178J390 killed , and one.in . 5S0.150 wounded , so that we may in fer that the tendency to accidents ia yearly diminished. A New System of Apprenticeship. Western M&nnfictnrer. A system of apprenticeship , in some respects new , says The Iron Age , has been adopted by Mersru. Richards & Dole , machinists , of Spring6eldj Mass It is intended to combine the thor oughly practical education of the shop with the theoretical education of the school ; or , in other words , it is an in dustrial Echool in which the most time will be given to praotica instead of to theory. They propose to require of the aprentice fifty-eight hours a weak of work in the shop and nine hours a week of study. The term of appren ticeship for thogo beginning to learn a trade who are under twenty years of age is to ba six yers , in. which time , under this system , it is bt-lieved that an apprentice will -bo qUiliBed to rank with : ho beat journeyman. and to earn the came wages. Those who are over twenty years of age are allowed to finirh their appren ticethip in five jean , and those who have worked in a sliop ire advanced according to proficiency. The be- uinner is first put to drawing from sketches , then 'akos up projection and and diagram , and advance * regularly -according to ) iis ability. Itis believ ed that in this way one year will qualify him BE well to woik from drawing ! n four or five years ordi narily. All applicants are taken from four , to twtlve .weeks on trial , and 51 not satisfactory are then dismissed. For the first ' year's l bor 5 cents pel hour is p id 'to thnse under 38,6 cehte to those.w.ho , are S , and 7 centa tc those who re 20 aud upwards ; for the next years the rate is advftnce"oT3o , C 8 , 10 , 11 and 12-cents. The firm alat pay 2 centaS or hqur.additional into a reserve fund , which rjs. paid to those Apprentices who -finish their full terra ofeeivica ; for the sii. yi.ars tfiif amounts to $400. The scheme in this shop grew out oi the difficulty -xpcnenced m getting thoroughly qualifi. machinists , and iBjm'attompt tonlve sg < m the old problem of how to coninuG the ays tern of sppre-.tlc-'sbip , now largely fallen into disuse. It fa stated thai this 6rm already have mtro applicants than they cm accept. The scheme certainly seems worthy of a trial. We have but little sympathy n many rates with the lament over the decrease of the approntic Bye- tern. The introduction ol machinery aud the .consequent subdi vision of labor have ir.ade it unneoes- ary in misny trade * . In some trades , however , there cannc ' ba such a sub division , noreuch nmhinery as wilde do away with the " necessity for a large proportion of "Skilled , thoroughly ed ucatf d mechanics , and tha machinuts trade is one of these. The scheme we hve described above certainly seem'i well calculated to > produce workmer not only competent for the ordinarj routine of shop work , but competent tr > design and oversee the execution oJ work. There are other considerations whicl commend this scheme to manufac turers. It would 'educate a class ol efficient workmen , whoso sympithtei and interests would be thorough ! } American , and strongly enlisted in tht success and progress of the industrial with which they will have been st Ions ; connected. They would nevei fraternize or sympathize with tht and communistic china whc come to this country prejudiced anc predisposed to hold all employers ai enemies , and representatives of that capit-al which they have been tsugbl to consider as the irreconcilable fo < of labor. So long as the great bull of the mechanical labor of the coun try is in the hands of and controller by this foreign element , so long wil ttiis unnatural-enmity between laboi and capita , as taught by foreign'doni munism , be cultivated nnd cherished IOWA tOILiBD DOWN.
