Oflc? 23 ft 27 FourtMfllh SlrMl. I-'REW A OAMPfiELL, rujtuauzuu ami' i'::omiNTOM. Tlll'lISDAY, Jl'.N'E 7, 1877. Tli<? llecrviutiiiB Sl*c ol Finn II it* We have already alluded to Dr. Nathan Allen's artlclc in the Juno number of tlx Sanitarian, commcntiug^on the decreasing size of American families in New Eng land an compare^ with liio families ol the foreign born. The article seems t( have attracted wide spread attention on the part ol the press. The New York .Sun ornnmpiitit nn it atnoine lt>iiL'th. taking the ground that the figure* indicate thret things?viz?a reduction of families owing to increased indoor life and laboi on the part of the American horn?a reduction owing to the more general prevalence of luxury than hitherto, and third, a reduction owing to the increaw of the crime of foeticide. The 1'ittsburgli Leader, on the otiier hand, argues against these conclusions of the Sun, and attributes the decrease to "prudence in the best sense of the word," and also to the greater regard that Americans have for their wives. We quote from its article :is follows: "There is reason to believe, too, thai a higher motivo than even thin worldly prudence has influenced American men in this matter, viz.: a tenderness and true chivalry to women, the suffering Hex, fitch in m exercised in no other country of the world. Indeed, in the very tables of Dr. Allen there seems to be evidence that thin is the ciwe; for he show* that whilo the offspring of the union of foreign fathers and American mothorrt numbered 11,354 in Massachusetts in 1874, tho offspring of about the same number of American fathers with foreign mothers were only 2,35*1. In other words, it wad notjthe inferior fecundity ol American women, but the tenderness ol American men, that determined tho reMilt. That increasing prudence and culture are the real causes of decreasing families appear also in the figures of Dr, ah.... .1... i.:.11. ...... of the various) nationalities, He tabu latc.H them thus: Of native borr mothers 3.52 i?er cent; foreigr mother* 4.91; Irish 5.03; Canadian 4.78; English 4.4U; Qerman 4.23 Here lie who runs may read. The Irisl: peasants, ignoruitt, improvident, marrj early, with no thought for the ftiture and breed like rabbits. The Frencl Canadian ranks next. Hut the prudent tRrifty, intelligent German has, next t< the American, the smallest lainily of all When these figures are supplemented with the Btatcmcnt that tho birthrate o France, the thriftiest nation of Kurope is *Le lowest, while that of Italy am Auntria are tho highest, and that tin Hindus increaso fanter than any peopl under the British Hag, if they are givei half a chance, it would seem that a pen pie is not to be condemned merely becausi it is resolved not to be unduly fecund Let us add that the assumption of thosi who nee in the decline in the size of farn iliea the moral decay of the race, and tin increase of fa-ticide is entirely gratuitous Statistics will ndt allow that this crime i any mote prevalent in tho prudent racc than among those of a lower general mor ality, but higher fecundity." Till: I*. ?. ?!: liY. 1UILKOAI) licller from < :*.{?;. .ilt'Lurc as fc Its .ItlvauCugvN. Whkki.ino. June G. Editors IuUIlijcnar: It has often been asked if the 1*. W. ?S fcy. road can l>c made a paying road when completed u ruler the proposed arrangement made known to otir people through the newepaper?. I believe, ai well us others who are willing to pui their money into it, that it will pay, and pay well. 1 will endeavor to give some of "the reasons for my belief. In the tirst place, this short-line road it but -4 mile* iong. Jt will start from it? passenger station in this city, which will lie not over two blocks from the bnsinesi portion of enr city, and run oul <?f the corporation without hindrance to tho crossing of a street or alley and continuing along the river front ol our comity ami of Ilrooke county make direct connection at the east end of tin Steubenville liridge with the P. C. & St L. K., by means of which road it wil connect with all parU of the west am east. It will be a shorter line to Pittsburgh and concepuently to Philndelnhir and New York than any other line, ant will make shorter time than any riva route. The present time table by the C & P. road from Bridgeport is -1 liouri ami oO minutes to Pittsburgh. The tiim allowed from Wheeling to Bridgeport hi street cars will average from 15 to 3( minutes, making the tiuie from Wheeling to Pittsburgh by the C. *S: P. K. from foui and three-quarters to live hours. Bj way nf the new line the time would noi exceed two hours and thirty minutes This time allows one hour to tho east end of the Steubenville Bridge, adiatanceuol 1M miles, and otic hour and 1!0 minutet from Steubenville to Pittsburgh, over a road mostly double tracked and having steel rails, uml running four paspcngei trains through to Pittsburgh and Jjen York on quick time, making tho time from the city of Wheeling to Pittsburgh and the Kast two hours and 250 minute; shorter than by any other route. By ren' son of this advantage this route will carry all tho travel from Wheeling tc Pittsburgh and the East. I will also saj that this road will draw travel from the niim-i.i.i f/%* -~i ?? - - V -.t?wu.??S?i mill U1U 1V.UH, The savins ?f lime ami car expense tc Bridgeport will certainly be suflicienl reason to insure all our own travel. Wt may look for travel from the Central Ohic line. Wheeling will thus become more of a point to atari from than it in now In paying thin, however, 1 don't wan brother Whitney to think that I mean ho must abut up shop ani quit business just yet, although really apprehend that when the P. W. ?! Ky. "line in completed it will go for hi present business very sharply, even ti attracting business from Bridgeport am Bellaire. Again, all the travel that now cotne over the B. & 0. road from Uraftor Clarksburg, Parkersburg and othe points, bound for Pittsburgh, and tha now stop* mostlv at Bellaire, will o course come to Wheeling and take thi route. Furthermore, all the travel bourn for Stcubenville, Pittsburgh and the Efts that comes up the river by our Parkers burg and Cincinnati packets will coirn to Wheeling and take this short routi instead of stopping oil' at Bellaire. These are some of the many reason why the P., W. & Ky. road will do tin largo sharo of the. passenger businesi from our city, and I hardly think any o these can be controverted. As regards freights, there arc suflicien reasons why most of the freight bound t< anu irom uio eny oi \\ fteeling Irom the East and Northwest should pasa over thii road. '1 he met of there being a bridge directly at the end oi this road, connect ing eo closely with the l\,C\ & St. Inroad will enable freights to be carried ir closer competition with the 11. & O. di visions. The difference in distance ix bui little and i? fully mndo up in easier fradw. We believo that all iron ort rom Cleveland can be crossed mort cheaply at the titeubcnvillc bridge am! brought down this road to the mills than by way of Bcllaire, and thence up the 11. A; 0. to Wheeling! The name thing is truo ot the shipment of Nails or any other freights from our city by these roads. It is certainly conceded that all Connellsville coke will come by this route. Tho transportation of nil these freight* from tho other aide of the river to thin *ido cost* from 00 cent* to $1 per ton each way, either by bridge or wagon. Thin tax on our manufacturers will Iw saved,and thus Increase our advantages as a manufacturing center. Tho Ohio river freights by boats will be brought to this city, as it will be the purpose of this road to build a track down to the river for the purpose of trnnHfcring freight to and from boats. The steamboats will much prefer bringing their shipping freight to Wheeling 1 direct rather thnn stopping at flellaire, as i thev now do. This point ends their trip, , anil coming here direct relieves the ' present detention at Bellaire, which is often a matter ot hours. Their I'itta burgh freight will reach its destination ' by n shorter line and in quicker time than } at present. For these reasons and others which 1 could advance, 1 cannot see why tho P., AY. & Ky., road will not be a good I'm/ b - "uvrnuu w? IIIU gicni ?u? . vantages to the people along the line of ' the road, and especially to the people of 5 Wheeling. 1 It is impoportant to l>car in mind that r the investment in the I*. W. & Ky. railroad, when completed under tho proposed reorganization, will only be $180,000. Wo will have, in other words, a road 25 ? miles long at tho rate of aav $7,'200 per i mile. Thin, an every one Known, is a , merely nominal price an compared with the general cost of railroads, or as compared with what this road has actually ' cost, if we count the original stock. The i Cleveland & Pittsburgh road, counting , double and aide trackage, has about !M)0 , miles of line. This mileage, divided into its capital stock and funded debt ($10,488,. ' -102 65), shows a cost of about $55,000 per mile. And yet on this immense cost that road earns and pays 7 per cent dividends in quarterly payments of 1] per . cent. In order to nay 7 per cent on its i stock and fundeddel)tit has to earn con. siderably over a million dollars net, while in order to pay 7 per cent on the , $180,000 invested in the 1*. W. & Ky. . road the company will only need to earn i $12,000 net. The little road running from Washington, I'a., to Pittsburgh earned nearly three titiicn thin amount in 1875, according to the table of earnings reported in the last number of Poor's Manual of Railroads. In view of these and other facts, L desire to auk the voters of Ohio county whether a would policy of economy does pot call upon them to avail themselves at the coming election, on the 7th of August, of tho opportunity to take $50,000 of the bonds to be issued by the Company for the completion of the road. Joiin MCLURE. i:.\'-At(oruey licucral Tail on Silver. Ex-Attorney Clcncral Taft has lately been giving expression to his judgment upon the question of remonetizing the silver dollar, lie declares that in his opinion the act of Congress demonetizing silver was a mistake; ami, whilo not sup. posing the law was passed by Rtealth, 1 public attention was never called to it in f such a manner as to sccurc any consider> able deliberation on the subject. In the , great Hayes-Allen campaign of 1875, in B Ohio, the question of specie resumption , U'llM illf> solo iuonn i\( ?l?? ? ?? - Mr.Taft declared that those who discussed e the matter of paper money and currency ' generally in tliat campaign "were hardly \ aware that silver was not a legal tender p without limit." After an earnest dtscussion of several points, Mr.Taft concludes a as follows: s Now, if we recur to the world's cur rency of gold and silver, which from time immemorial has been the measure of all values, with such exceptions as our recent experiment with paper money, we shall find that our ideas, and the world's > ideas, of values have all been founded upon the quality of the precious metals that have been made available by the industry of man. If that quantity had been greater, tho price of all property throughout the world would have been ' lees; if that quantity had been le.js, the price of all property would have been : less. Npt that all the silver and gold in ' the world is equal to all the other prop| erty in the world, but that it has fornTed 1 the measure of all valueH, and if Rilver ! had never been used as money, and gold nuu oeen iuu only medium, price would 1 have been proportionally leB*. Now, we ' may assume that the quantity of availa' blegold and silver in the world is about 1 $10,000,000,000 and that pilver constitutes in value about ons-half of that amount. If ! silver were to be struck from the curren| cy of the world, leaving gold alone, it is ' perfectly clear to my mind that the vol! ues of all property throughout the world ; would be very materially aflectcd. Price? | might not be reduced in the proportion of one-half, but they would be very materi' ally reduced throughout the world, and " whoever uhould be in debt when such reJ duction took place would have to pay more than he contracted for. 1 Now, although it is true that neither England, nor Germany, nor tho United ? .States has power to demonetize silver throughout the world, and thus to a fleet r tho values of property to such an extent ' as they would be aflectcd by the uuiver sal demonetization of that metal, yet the striking of silver from the legal circulation of any State or nation tends in the 1 same direction, and produces confusion j of values. It seems to me particularly unwise for the United States to reject ' silver from the circulation, and thus , 1 depreciate its value, for the reason that the United States is the greatest silver? producing nation in the world, and also , because we are greatly indebted, at this! present time, to England, which m the ! greatest gold-producing country in the world. 1 My belief is, that by the remoneti/.a1 tion of the silver dollar ita value will I 1 soon be found to be equal to the gold dol1 lar. In this I may be mistaken, but wei are fairly bound to try the experiment. 1 For when, three veara ago,theflilver dollar 1 was demonetized, it was more valuable | than the gold dollar, and I know of no plan by which we can ascertain truly the 1 relative value of the silver and gold dol1 lar, with the ratio of sixteen to one, which is our American ratio, except by t re-enacting the law which waa repealed. I Liquor-Selling in Ohio. I From the Cincinnati Commercial. c Whether we shall in Ohio ever come to as sensible n conclusion ia doubtful. > There is free trade in liquor at present. 1 Any loafer who has credit enough to rent a room and get a keg of whisky can open p shop and draw into his groggery the idle if and dissolute of his own neighborhood. r In townships and small villages, public t sentiment may be strong enough to supf press the business, but in the large cities the extent and diversification of the traf1 tic is surprising. Jso temperance movet rnent has yet sensibly atlected it, and . none will. The Murphy "tidal wave" 5 may sweep over and submerge the traffic j in small towns and villages, but in the great centers of commerco and industry, ? like Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo and ? Dayton, it will produce no great change * in me present oruer ot things. In such f places a law like that ol Massashusetts, with restraints that can be enforced, and which the better class of retailers themselves would assist in enforcing might prove of utility.
