NsW Yi.rk, July U.—For the pn*t

Wall Street interests hes h<*en the dts-
organisatiop of inwiness urisittg. out of

tihle fa* t* is that-AVltb so many thous

oriRfr to the utsuost extent that the nmn-
of "riwnr fiHiirwerx 'tnndF'
«lte financial centre of the country ha*
remained calm and value* have been
comparatively un'iffo<’tcil. European
holili r* of <ntr Inv'Mttnents have shown
stmie uacaslmws at this fqtecfacle of or*
aaiiizcl revolt against '-ajiital and the
Inwh that nrotect it—w'vich Is only what
ioiVhf he ex|R‘'-t»*<i from tile distance
separating the event from the observers;
-and there ha* been some consequent
yelling liy the London market, !hough
hait-b siiffi.»-k*»a. tu. visibly, affect quoiar
tion-i heft*. , r
The can*e of this confidence lu the
financial iinarkets has tH*eii the convic
tion, 'lit' r’iilno-1 from the first, that the
.listtirimnce could be OfitJ" Teiuiktfafy,--
*o biie.f indeetl as hiUiely-to affi.rl a
chatve for iiiakinig a *aif** "bear" at
tack on the market;* Wall Street has
lii-come,so fainillar with iiis.r distnrh-
in«*es a* to know pretty writ how to vain#
them. It understand* the intrinsic wcak-
iic*y -if the strike pritsnliric, wh'*n fah'.y
put to the teat, ami ha* burnt that such
contests are most apt to end in some
form of relief from the restraints (>r ex-
ariloMH that have be*n aridtrarity enforc
ed by the unions. In this ease, it has
been stun that the arraying of the ut
most force of organised labor could only
end In a defeat that would widely dis
credit the union principle and emanci
pate industry from the disturbing rule
of the unions, The Interruption of travel
and transportation has been regarded as
more n temporary postponement of rail
road hnslneas than ns so much itcrmanent
loss; and the destruction of property has
been viewed a* a charge upon the local
governments which have failed to pre
vent violence, rather than upon the cor
porations that have been raided. More
over. whatever minor forms of actual
and uncompensated loss have fallen upon
the ratlrpad Interest, It Is felt to be s
small matter In; comparison with the off
set accruing from the signal-failure of
the strike principle and the consequent
future limitation of ‘he union's power
of disturbance. The firm attitude as
sumed by the Government In, for- the
first time, affirming that these violent
method* of strike are fundamentally op
posed not only to the rights of the citi
zen but also to the laws of the United
States. Is an Invaluable contribution tq-
ward* '-onfideiiee In the future Immunity
of our railroads nnd other large corpora
tions as against the lawless interruptions
of labor from which the country has
suffered so much nnd by which the use
of capital has lK*en surrounded with very
serious risks. In. brief; Walk street re
gards the struggle as the crowning battle
between the employing class and the
employed das*. In which the former has
regained its right to un distruct freedom
of contract In the employment of labor.
The result of this victory is of no small
value to tbs' futuri* stability of our. In
dustries; and the estimate Put upon it
is signlhcnntly expressed in the steadi
ness of the financial markets amid so
much confusion. v
Another result of much value to the
railroads has come out of the strike. Un
der the past depression of business, and
the general fall in prices, the roads have
felt the necessity-bf a general reduction
in wages, nnd yet they have hesitated to
enforce it lest It should produce a labor
disturbance. They have now an oppor
tunity of r< placing their past employes,
and are doing so upon a generally re
duced scale of wages. A valuable op
portunity has thus be:»n afforded for the
railroads conforming their scale of ex
penses to the general, and probably per-,
maneut, reduction in prices. Thus what
has been dreaded as . a possible great
Nation il (alaunty turns out to be a valu
able contribution towards completing the
Pr.T‘>ss of n adjustment which our ma
terial Interest* nre now undergoing.
Congress Is now within a few days of
completing the enactment rtf the new
tariff, and so far nothing has arisen In
the conference of the two houses suggest
ing the possibility of a disagreement.
In business circle* however, there Is no
disposition to fake anything for granted
in this matter, -and the nffecTs of ihe
adoption of the fit!!, therefore; errnTiot he
measured until the agreement hetwertn
the Senate and House has bpen ifinally
completed.- At present, the feeling Is
very common that a general revival ot
confidence and of businoes will then set
In, from which a sternly development
may he expected. Accounts from Europ
ean eentres indicate that the enactment
if the tariff will he the signal for re
vival of interest In American Invest
ments. Takin# all the conditions and
probabilities as tfiey stand today, Owe
not he surprisM that, within the
next one or two months, the situation
Is construed as favoring the settlng-in
of a general process of pronounced im
provement In the industrial, commercial
and -financial iiiter^gfct^f the nation.

many specimens of Confederate money to

of them. It was owing to the fact that so
"many copied this pathetic poem on Confed

qad the future looked very dark and gloomy.
During the eonversatlon Mr. Pueel pulled
a roll of Confederate bills from hi* pocket,
with the remark. "Wjiat !* it good for

THE AUTHORSHIP OF "LINES ON

THE VERSES. .
LINES.ON THE BACK OF A CONFBD-
- '^ERATE NOTE.
Ttepresentlng nothing on God's earth
now,
And naught In tne waters below it;
As the pledge of a Nation Hull's dead ami
gone, ,
Keep It, dear friend, and show it;
Shpw It to those who will lend an ear, ‘
To the tale that thja trifle can tell..
Of a liberty born of the patriot's dream, ,
Of a storm-criuUed Nation that fell. \
Too poor to posses,* the precious o'fres,
- And too much of a stranger to borrow,
We issued today our promise .to pay,
And hoped to redeem on the morrow. 1,
The days roiled by anil weeks became
.> years,
But our coffers were wupty still; „
Gout wAf so rare that the^treaanry'd qiwke
IT a Bidlar sltouhl drop" in the till.
But the faith that was in ns was^ strong.
Indeed.
* And our poverty well we discerned,
And this tittle check represented the pity
Trias, our Buffering veterans earned-
We knew It had hardly a value in gojjt,
Yet as gold each soldier received it.
It gazed In our eyes with a promise to pay,
And each Sbuthern patriot believed It.
But our boys thought littje of price or pay
Or of hills.that were overdue;. * /
We knew If It bought us our bread today,
'Twas the be*t our poor country could do.
Keep It; It tells all our history over.
From U>e birth of the dream to Ws last;
Modest, and born of the angel Hope, ,
Like our hope of success, "it passed."
