THE JOURNAL OF AGRICU

If any of your readers will take II
trouble to make the inquiry, the

Greenbackers of this county are p

radical journal, sailing under til
guise of an agricultural newspape1

Radical Absolute moneyism. Pro
Tossing to be an exclusively agricul
tural paper, It's sole purpose has beer
to make the grange subserve its owl
corrupt purposes, and to aid the Re
publican party. Its capacity to hood
wink and deceive its farmer readers
is astonishing, and there is no false
hood that it is not capable of tellin!
to accomplish its nefarious ends. A

1896.

The election returns shed much
light on the probable distribution of
political power in the rear future.
The canvas has been enlivened with
the injection of a national here and
there, and by that IA q few. Demo
cratic nominees havebeen defeated, not
enough to destroy a decided Demo-
cratic majority in both Houses of
Congress, even if the Nationals should
insist upon their peculiar policies. /
is not likely however that they will
take issue with Western and Southern
finance measures.
In no part of the South has the
Republican party exhibited vitality.
In the West that organization is dis
migrating. Community of interest
is drawing the West closer and closer
to the South. The leading industries
of these sections are agricultural.
Grain as well as cotton now seeks
a foreign market, and finance and
measures must affect each a like. AT
the same time no great reeellant like
slavery exists. The changes in the
congressional delegations of Ohio and
Indiana indicate that those States
have ceased TO look upon Republican
measures as beneficial. Resolutions
of similar character are in progress in
other p~ortious of the West, and even
Iowa no longer sends a solid Repub-
lican delegation to Washington:
The Importance of the East which
clings so tenaciously to a gold basis,
to the cce of Democracy is con
) stantly diminishing. elm 1876 tht
relation that political control of New
York sustained to the election of
Democratic president was not to b.
overestimated; but at present it SEEM
! to be diminishing. The centre o
political gravity is evidently shifting
and it is becoming of comparativel,,
I small importance Which party shal
, heres after rule New York. Although
d a reunited Republican party has car
rieti that state and will send Mr.
Conkling to the United States Senat
for another term, that condition O
affairs will not be without its com
pensation. 1t will prevent at leas
b the introduction of that discord int
the financial views of the Democrat
i party, that might have otherwise en-
tered through desire to conciliate tina
great State.

THE WEsTERN UNION INITIATION.

FURTHER DETAILS IN REGARD TO THE PROPOSED
INCREASE OF CAPITAL sIoCK-sTREET OPINIONS
on THE PLAN.
The exclusive publication in The TRIBUNE
OF the signing of the petition for meeting OF the stock
holders of the Western Union Telegraph Company, TO
vote on the proposition to capitalize the surplus earn
ings. attracted much attention IN Stock Exchange
circles yesterday. The subject had been generally
discussed since the recent rapid rise In the price Of the
stock but the fact that definite agreement had been
reached was only known to few untt tie facts were
published III THE TRIBUNE OF Friday. A large stock
holder OF Western Union said yesterday: "The com
pany has in its treasury about SG,0000O0 OF its own
stock and the proposition Is 10 issue enough new stock
TO increase the capital OF the company TO S50OooOOo
The additional millions OF capital are to be distributed
pro rata among the present stockholders"
Russell Sage said that the petition for special meet
ing Of the stockholders would be presented President
Green to-day, and that it would contain the reasons
which impelled the signers to ask for vote
OF the stockholders the proposed capitalization.
The call is signed. he says by william ii. Vanderbilt
the largest stakeholder; ID. o. Mills. who holds the
second largest amount OF stock IN mis- name Edwin
d. Morgan, who controls stock, but holds less IN
his own name than Mr. Mills James X. Keene; Russell
Sage Jay Gould. by his representative, Frank Work;
Augustus schel. and others the first Eve petitioners
representing oe-Aall OF the present capital stock
outstanding.

ment of Western Union stock said Yesterday that MI Van
derblrs interest in Western Union understood to be
nearly 000000 and that the siguers to he call con-
troed about Sl0OGOOOO OF the stock. This gentleman
did not regard tie proposed measure fayoraby
that similar movement carried out in the Lake
shore Roadn 1871, when Augustus Schc was managing
It. In 1873 IA. earnings not sufficient to pay
dividend the Old and new capital stock combined, aud

The result be believes, VIII follow the increase OF
the capital stock Of Western Union.
Another large operator and director in the Union
Pacific Road, said This is not the proper time for
such movement contraction rather than expansion OF
capital stock being necessary. II the movement Is car
ried into effect the funeral will begin ut once"
The special meeting cannot be nell before December,
