Society for New York. In accordance with flu- object the Society for Politica (New York) has prop .ul to itself, it has is- sucd, as number four of its pamphlet publications, a small tract on the sub- of the *Usury Laws,” and has suceeeded in putting within sixty-six pages all that can be sald for or these laws. This little tract will supply a long felt want, for treatises on the usury laws are not accessiblo to the public. The interest of Jeremy Bentham and the essay of Turgot are buried in the complete works of these writers, and the best writings of less-known econ- omists on the subject have esually been issued as pamphlets, and it is therefore difficult, if not impossible, to obtain them This issue by the socicty contains, first, the abridgment of Jeremy Bentham's letters, which have not suffered by the abridgment; second, the most importantsections of a letter by John Calvin on usury,which possesses more historic than economic value; third, a speech of Hon. Rich- ard H. Dana, Jr., in the Massachu- setts senate, which embodies a clear and comprehensive exposition of the subject; and, fourth, a brief aotice (which might well have been longer) by David A. Wells, on the present status of the usury laws in the United States, which contains some new and suggestive statements regarding the effect of these laws. AN English writer in the contem- porary Revicw, has evidently passed through Omaha on the Union Pacific. He remarks : A ‘At Omaha the old winter amuse- ment of sleigh riding is of course as pop- ularas ever,when there is enow enotigh on the ground to make the roads good; and one who has never tried it can hardly imagine how exhilerating it is. Tt is surpassed by nothing but the ice yatcht, and has the advantage of being moro social.” Just how much snow in the usual condition of our strects it takes “to make the roads good,” the writer un- fortunately omits to tell. — Ex-Sexator Howe, who is in Col- orado for the improvement of his health, informs the reporter of the Denver Repub'ican that he has as yet not been tendered any cabinet posi- tion by President Arthur, nor has he that any information e would be among the ¢f Tue Cincinnati Commercial gested that Guiteau be furnished an which to ride between the jail and court house, and he might have it arranged so as to set in it while the trialis progressing. sug- iron coflin, in It is now definitely settled that Becretary Kirtkwood wall retire from the cabinct about the tenth of De- cember, at which time it is almost cex- tain Sectetary Blaine will be releived by ex-Benator Frelinghuysen. — Now that water works are an ac- complished fact in Omaha, it would be just, as well as graceful for the fire insurance agents to put down their rates. A Monster Engine Detroit Post and Tribune, The Calumet and Hecla company have an engine on the ground ready to be set up, the maximnm power of which is 4700 horse power. The weight of the engine alone is 700,000 ]Mllll)dl There are two cylinders,one of five feet, ten inches in dmnm(ur, the other three feet six inches, The one weighs 27 tons, the smaller one 81,616 pounds, The walking-beam weighs 40,850 pounds, the shaft and crank 26,900 pounds, These figures lmlll give something of an idea of what itis like. This engine cost £100,000 and is probably the largeit stationary gine in the world. In comparis with the great Cosliss engine of cen- tennial notoriety, the great Calumet woula rank as much above the Cor liss as the Corliss did over the ordina ry engine. The Corliss is, 1 believe, 1,600 horse power, the Calumet 4,700 maximum, 3 500minimum horse power. This large engine will be used to op erate the Calumet mine, and furnish pover to work the pump for both mines, The Coming Deluge Sidney Dillon, one of Jay Gould's partner's, is about to build the cos est and most ornate private residence on this continent. 1t is to be erected at the corner of Fifth avenue and Seventy-sixth street, and the house, with the grounds surrounding it, wiil cover over thirteen city lots, four of which will be on Fifth avenue. The erection of this ostentatious dwelling, following so close upon the completion of the new and striking residences of the Vanderbilt family, will draw th attention of the public to the vast ac- cumulation of wealth in a few hands in this country. In its early history the very rich of the United States were few in number; the middle class forming the bulk of the population, for the number of those who were so very poor as to be necessitous was 1 than perhaps in_any other country. Thila a8 1o cheap land and con- stant demand for labor incident to new community., But the material conditions of our mnational life are changing rapidly. As great wealth in past generations was owing to the monopolizing of Jand by of a few families, the framers of the titution thought that when they had abolished primo- geniture and divided the property of the father cqually between the chil- dren, they had made ample provision inst the accumulation of wealth in very few hands. But they did not foresce the immense developments of medern industry, nor dream of the effect of the various mechanical im- provements of the coming era. The ownership of land is no longer neces- 1y in order to possess great wealth, t foxrtunes are now made in bank ing, manufacturing and commerce, but more particularly in railway enter- prises. Hence, in spite of the spirit of our laws, the vast aggregations of wealth are in the hands of the Van- derbilts, Goulds, Dillons, Belmonts, and other noted persons, who are not large landowners, 3ut it is evident that the vast ac- cumulation of property in compara- tively few hands must be at the ex- pense of other classes in the community, People of moderate for- tunes are becoming fewer in number, while there has of necessity been an immense relative increase in the num- bers of the poorer classes, Ths me- chanical inventions which give for- tunes to the owners of practical pat- ents throw out of employment tens of thousands of workmen, who, in their middle and old age, must learn new industries in order to make a living. The splendid buildings on Fifth and Madison avenues repre resent the losses made in business and spec- ulation by those who during the last generation were in comfortable cir- cumstances. - A. T. Stewart, by his competition, ruined thousands of mer- chants, and when he died he was said to have over a hundred of his former rivals among his employes. The whole country is to-day passing through the experience of the state of California. The discovery of bonan- zas on the Comstock lode gave that state a period of great apparent pros- perity, but the final result of the gambling spirit created was to sift two- thirds of the visible wealth of the coramunity into the hands of less than forty persons, whcse magnificent dwellings in San Francisco compare favorably with the highly ornamental and costly palaces of the Vanderbilts inNew York, As soon as the people of the west coast realized the situa- tion, DennisiKearney came iothe front, the two political parties were broken to pieces and a new constitution was adopted, which aimed directly at the great corporations ana the owners of the wealth of the state, Quitea number of fln,s(, rich Californians have migrated to New York in counse- quence of the adoption of the new con- stitution, But if the wealth of he country cast of the Sierra Nevadas is to be monopolized by a few bankers and railroad mag- nates, will not the history of California be repeated here? The revulsion of 1873 brought the powerful republican party to its knees and led to the for- mation of a greenback party, which only a few years ago polled over 70,- 000 votes in this state. Since the re- vival of trade the concentrating of wealth into still fewer hands has pro- gressed with extraordinary rapidity, and thoughtful men cannot but be startled when they think of the pos- s1ble chances of another great finan- cial catastrophe, Our men of many the heads millions ,in - their pursuit of enor- mous fortunes, have failed to recognize any interests but their own. They corrupt the press and suborn the judiciary, they purchase legislators and governors. They do nothing for the church, for thestate, or for the cause of _educati Their only recreation is hors they do not care to patronize letters, and their patronage of art is to make their own private residences more conspici- ous and their picture galleries more talked ubout. heir thought is only of self and their personal aggrandise- ment. When the great i jan: ca- tastrophe which is brewing comes, as it always does, when least expected, what will these men of many millions be able to reply tothe Dennis Kearneys of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and all our large cities! What plea will thep have to offer for their robberies under the form of law, for their debauching of the press and legislative bodies for their plun- dering of the community by stock waterings and money market manipu- lations? Thoughtful people cannot but re- alize that the r are getting poorer, that the wmiddle class is seriously diminishing in numbers, some few of them becoming millionaires, but the great bulk degenerating into people who work for wages. 1n the gigentic operations of modern comme: due to the railroad and the telegraph, there is little or no place for the small trader or the capitalist with New York. only the costly houses that are bought.
