CHEERY VIEW OF THE FINANCES TftKENJY SHAW Former Secretary of The Treasury Speaks Optim istically on The Financial Situation, Which has Look ed so Glcomy. No Logical Reason For Fear of- Trouble, He Says. Slump in Stocks Means No Lessening of Country's Resources. New York, Aug. 19. —Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, has authorized the following interview on the present financial and industrial conditions: "Our farms produce more than 16,500,000,000 per annum, and ths pros pect is good for an average crop. Our mines yield more than $1,500,000,000 and our forests more than $1,000,000,- 000 and neither of these sources of wealth has been exhausted. The out put of factories in other food products is $12,000,000,000 and no fires have been extinguished. The railways earn more than $2,000,000,000 and they are all in successful operation. The pay rolls of our factories and railways aggregate approximately $3,500,000,000 and the scale of wages.has not been reduced. In other words, the real sour ces of the people's wealth have not yet been affected, and the ability of indus trial concrns to pay dividends is not measured by the market price of stocks. Logical reasons for serious conditions are, therefore, wanting. Psychological reasons are never want ing. People Will Have What They Expect. "If I judge correctly, the people will have exactly what they expect. If those who have money in the banks withdraw it and lock it up; if the banks refuse to grant accommodations, and if the consuming public decline to place orders, then we will very soon witness the effects. Let those who think that times of disaster follow each other at regular intervals bear in mind that this country has never yet experienced a period of severe depres sion that was not traceable to finan cial or ceonomical agitation or legis lation, and usually both. » " In 1893 the redemption of green backs in silver instead of gold was op enly advocated; the Democratic party was under promise to remove the pro tective tariff from our industries, and the coinage of silver at the ratio of It; to 1 was championed by pi-omirtent members of both parties. The coun try might have survived any of these sources of alarm, but it could not sur vive all three. "At this time no one questions our financial system, and the tariff will not be touched for a t least eighteen months. "Some check in the speed at which we are going is most desirable, and CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought .Bears the /J? ' Signature of the checking process has probably be gun. It will now require a fair meae ure of confidence and courage to pre vent retardment in our industrial prog ress. Capital cannot be forced into activity, but it can be forced out of activity. I have never seen the time when universal sanity was more es°y tial to our well-being."

COAST LINE CUT WAGES. 1 Sweeping Changes WrH Be Made In Clerk's Salaries, It is Said. Wilmington, N. C., A\ig. 19. —Atlan- tic Coast Line officials are said to be planning sweeping changes in clerks' salaries. A canvass of the entire sys tem for the purpose of looking close ly into the matter of salaries has been suggested by a high official of the road and It Is probable that this idea will be carried out within the next few months. Several salary changes have already been made in the office of the force at Rocky Mount and at Florence, healdquarters, respectively, for the first and second divisions of the sys tem. At the beginning of the present year the Cdhst Line granted a substantial increase in the pay of its clerks. Those who were then getting $5O to $BO a month were given $5 more. Salaries from $BO up were raised 10 per cent. Just how deep the contemplated cut will go is not known. The officials of the road have not decided this poinL The widespread agitation against the railroads is the reason given for the proposed reduction in Cosat Line sal aries. It is thought the changes will effect only the clerks.

These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of ♦he system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid i poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other part 9 iof the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended J to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a ; hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the J _ ' _ _ form of pimples and black heads, while y&SrtS? °nd " othiSto Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on differ ' our® ma until I tried s. B. S.

"Well, they have an engine and one passenger coach which they bought from the elevateds railroad in New- York city or Brooklyn when steam , was superceded with electricity there. They go a-kiting over the steep hills and around the sharp grades from the junction to Cliffside. "The general manager, general traffic manager, traveling passenger agent and conductor of the road is Capt. McLean, and he is one of the most accommodating men I ever met. He is well liked by all the people who travel over his line, and there is a big passenger travel to and from Cliffside. "The little engine hauls a dozen freight cars at a time to Clitt'dde. That Is mainly in the way of shipping goods to an d from the big mill there, of which Mr. Raleigh Haynes is secretary and treasurer, Mr. B. D. Heath, of this city, being president.
