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

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

Democrat remarks :
The public debt is steadily d\vindjin ;

been able to do what we are doinj
now , which has reduced its im
ports and at the same time re

deed , in the history of national tinanc
there is nothing to compare with th
spectacle presented by the steady rec
ord of this nation. From time to time
by great effort and through many sac
rifices , nations that have had debt
have succeeded in reducing th
anfount , bur no nation has ever bee
able to carry out the process of rcduc

between Manchester and Liverpool

in France , previous to the existence
of railways , there was ono passenger

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

Thrifty Oregon.
Bin Francisco Chronic. * .
Not many states are making as goo <
progress on a solid and enduring basi ,
toward the lines of agricultural am
Dmmercial achievements as our thrift ;
neighbor Oregon. Her population-
175,535 is comparatively small , bu
it is like "a thoroughbred horto ii
training for long heats , all bonemuscli
and action. In 1850 it numberei
just about as many as SanFrancisco-
15,000. In I860 the figures wen
52,465. In 1870 they were 90 928
and by the census this year 175,535

Portland , the chief town , containei
but 6717 inhabitants. It now ha
over20,000j and for a place of tha
number exhibits more commercia
vitality than any city in the Union
A few comparative figures of expor
will explain the rapid growth both o
Portland and the state in productioi
and commerce.
In 1867 Oregon exported but 120 ,
980 barrels of flour and 76,360 bush
els or wheat. None of it went t
foreign countries. In 1870 the ex
port * of wheat and flour amounted t
§ 1,050,500. Of this amount 316,48
bushels , valued at § 370,618 , went di
reel from Portland to Europe. It wa

trade ; and it gave a great stimulus t
her productive industry. In the nex

New rrocess of Embalming-
. One of the. .most BJmple.and effec
tive processes , 'it. would appear , for
preserving the dead , .has recently
been brought forward in Germany.
By this method , it is stated the dead
.bodies of-human beinga and. animals ,
fnlly retain their form | colprand flexi
bility continuously , and many be dis-
eected , while deca/and offensive smell
are completely prevented IHe'mnsou-
lar flesh upon incision , presenting the
samo.appearanceas in the case of a
fresh dead body. The liquld'used for
this purpose is prepared as follows :
Three quarts boiling water , three and
'one half ounces alum , six drams com-
-monliaH , three drams saltpeter , two
ounces potash , and two and ono-half
drams arscnio acid ; the salts are dis
solved in the water , and then .thei e
ar J added two pints of glycerine and
one-half pint of wood alcohol. The
embalming is occomplished by simply
saturating and impregnating the
bodies with this compositionfrom one
and a half to five quarts being used
for t , single bed 7.
An Arizona Copper , Mine.
One of the curiosities of Arizona is
an ancient copper mine on the east
stdo of. the Verde. By whom it was
worked it would be hard , to deter
mine. Possibly by the Aztecs ; more
likely by the Apaches. The mine has
not been worked for , the * metal in the
ore , but for the paint.There are now
on the dump rich and easily worked
carbrnntea , while every spot where
high colored , soft material showed it-
eelf has betn worked out. Several
rock tools which have been found ,
with battered edges and etaini of , ore
on > them , prove that implements of
stone were used. They ran a tunnel
into the ltdso ; nine feet high and from
six t > . eight feet wide. In placet
there are walls buill and the waste
matter thrown behind them.
