Our City Bonds Taken.
That there is an abundance of idle
money awaiting investment is evidenc-
ed by the number of bids and the high
premiums offered by different banks
and bankers for our~ city of Norwalk
four per cent. gold bonds. The suc-
cessful bidders were Blair 85 00,, of .N.
Y., who take the entire issue at $103,-
038. The Norwalk Savings Society
was a close competitor at an even 3108,-
030, and it is greatly to be regretted that
it could not have secured them so as to
have kept our indebtedness at home.Had
oar bank bid $108,050, it would only
have been twelve dollars moreiupon the
whole loan, than was paid by the suc-
cessful bidder and had our bank any
idea that outsiders would go above its
bid, this and even more, no doubt
would have been offered.
The high home bid however, though
unsuccessful in securing the loan, has
ice effect of giving confidence. to out-
side bidders. They are’agreed that no
home institution would become a com.
pelitor for them unless our local con-
ditions were all they should. be. Again,
our City organization gave us a high
credit abroad that we never could have
a-‘tained under the slow, old time and
inefficient Borough system of munici-
pal government.
The circular prepared by Mayor Hubv
bell and sent out to the banks of the
country, was also a powerful factor in
inspiring strength and confidence in
our city’s ability to pay in full its obli
3 gations at maturity. It Was a clear and
honest statement of our finanacial sit
nation and condition, such as would
carry conviction to shrewd men of busi—
HESS.
In Plttsburg the other day, that city’s
call for a loan of $6,000,000 was taken
at a fraction under 3:}.- per cent, and
$00,000,000 was offered in response to
the call. Allegheny opened bids for
a $000,000 loan for water works and
$17,000,000 were offered. Those two

and other near-by municipal profl'ers of
loans, show how great the excess of
' money is beyond all legitimate de-
mands. This does not argue an alto-
gether healthy business condition.
With a situation like this, the Popu—
list clamor for an inordinate increase
by free coinage of silver and an extra-
ordinary issue of fiat money, is some-
thing colossal in the way of want of
501130.

Speculative Combines.
The ease with which people are im—
posed upon by such fallacies as that of
free silver coinage is not so wonderful
when we consider the general tendency,
even among those who are supposed to
have some knowledge of business, to
run after every new fad or craze in
financial operations. From the days of
the South Sea bubble until now, 7 the
history of the world presents a con-
stant succession of speculative enter-
prises, each running its natural cdiirse
to inevitable collapse, only to be follow-
ed in due time by another, different in
form but similar in nature. The latest
form of speculation that is just now in
process of liquidation is that of indus—
trious combinations or trusts, so-called,
‘ inwhich, as is usually the case, the pro-
moters and ground-floor operators have
made large fortunes, and the outside
investors have found themselves left.
Two conspicuous
form of speculation are just now in pub-
examples of this
110' view. . .
The WhlBlijI trust, though originally
formed on a substantial basis, presentg
such a complicated series of concentric
swindles that it is scarcely a fair exam-
ple' of the natural workings of the sys-
tem. With honest management the
whisky trust ought to have been very
profitable, since the peculiar conditions
of the manufacture were altogether in
its favor. In the case of the cordagc cents.
trust there does not appear to have
been the same kind of deliberate rob—
bery, but only the collapse inevitable
to an inflated system. The National
Cordage Company bought up all, or as
many as it could, of the rope and twine
works of the country at extravagant
prices, and the works were put into the
pool at a fanciful valuation and the
stock was then unloaded upon the. pub- _
lie. The concern could not carry so
extravagant a load and defaulted on its
payments. It was then reorganized,
with a large additional debt, and more
stock issued. But business was bad
and again the fixed charges used up not
only the receipts, but the greater part
of the available capital, and now the
reorganir cd company finds itself loaded
with a large number 0116116 mills and
an extravagant expense account, while
individual competitors who have con-
tinued to manage their own business in
an economical way, or have entered
the field ancw with improved machin~
ery, have destroyed the control of the
cordagc trade which was the main pur-
pose of the combination.
There are, of 00 use, two kinds of
industrial combinations. One is ac—
tually intended to control a definite
line of trade and by cconomizing the
cost of production, to increase the
profits Of those engaged in it. This
was the first kind of trust, whose suc-
cess led to so m-iny imitations and to
the develozimcnt of the other kind, in-
tended to make an immediate profit to
the promoters at the expense of outside
investors. This system is well illus-
trated in a single instance described in
the report of the United States Cordage
company, in which one-Of the original
members sold his works to the com-
pany for $3,850,000, of which $450,000 was
for the mill and $400,000 for the good
Will. It is admitted that the property
Was never worth more than $250,000,
and stood upon ground for which a rent
0133,000 a year was paid. When the
company was reorganized, the original
owner held that the contract concern-
ing the good will was ended and. he
built a new mill and took all the trade.
The company having thus on its hands
a useless building, upon ground it did
not own,sold it back to the original
owner for $275,000, so that the enter-
prising promoter made a clean profit of
$575,000 out of the stockholders and
has all his prOperty back in his own
hands.
After a series of operations of this
kind it is not surprising that the con.-
pany is once more to reorganize, for
which purpose an addition of nearly
two millions to the already inflated
capital is modestly suggests: . If any—
body can be induced to contribute this,
the shares may be kept on the market
until the next collapse. But as the
company is burdened with a large num-
ber of antiquated and useless mills,
costing many hundreds of thousands a
year ,in interest alone, and an accumu—
lation of material worth \much less than
when it was bought, while the outside
manufacturers are buying their mater-
ial at market rates and working it up
with new and more economical machin-
ery, the fallacy of the whole scheme is
apparent t) the most crcdulous invest-
or. This particular form of specula-
tion which has taken in so many, has
about run its course. Yet, as business
revives, some new game will be started
and the sheep will be shorn again.

Road Race.
The second annual handicap road
race of the Westport Wheel club took
place in Westport, yesterday afternoon.
There were eighteen entries, and seven-
teen started. The race was witnessed
by a large crowd of people and .a large
number of visiting wheelmen were
present from all over the state. The
riders finished in the following order:
Walsh, 34.57 ; Seeley, 33.13 2-5 ; Whole,
33.37 1-2; Leopold, 33 58 1-2; Youngs,
35; Thomas, 30 2; Price, 36.5; Keeler,

A. Preston Sherwood at a time when
he had the race well in hand and was
almost sure of first place broke his and
die, but made an effort to keep 1n the
race although every turn ofthe wheel
caused him pain and he was forced to
drop out, to the regret Of his many
friends. .
The time prize,a handsome gold med-
al, and presented by Mrs. Robert E.
Craufurd, of Westport, was won by C.
Ford Seelcy formerly of this city. He
also won a silver tea set. The Bridge-
port Union says that Sceley will soon be
counted one of the crack-a-jicks of the
country; there can be no doubt, after
the showing he has made. He is credit-
ed with having ridden over the course
yesterday at'a 2.21 1-2 clip. 5
The first prize in yesterday’s race
which was won by Walsh was a gold
watch. ‘

that it is proposed so to employ fifty or
more of the prisoners ‘and notice is
given in to-day’s issue that all persons

New Enterprise.
Mr. Harry M. Gardner, J r., who has
so long been in charge of the GAZETTE’S
book and job printing department, has
proven himself a man of decided hope
and courage in that he has opened here,
an office of his own. It requires more
than average nerve to start any kind of
new business enterprise, in these de-
pressed conditions of the times,. but
whenaman can brave the fact that
there were already seven job printing
offices in Norwalk and his venture
makes the eighth one, with not enough
printing patronage in all the town to
furnish two with a living support, our
former employee’s courage reaches the
heroic. Mr. Gardner is a printer ('f
exquisitely fine and artistic taste and
mechanical skill, and no doubt expects
to find “roomnt the top.” The old
GAZETTE extends to him the sincere
[wish that his daring venture may prove
abundantly successful and his hopes
and courage never have cause to be
less.
