(From his Speech at. Warren, Ohio. September Is

1s74)
Mr.. Parsons came to me and said he
had an important case: he had worked g
good while on it, but was called away. He
must leave. He did not want to lose his
fee--was likely to lose it unless the work
was completed. He asked me if would
argue the case for him; if L would ex'
anime into the merits of this pavemen
and make q statement of il before the
board.

The question was. if the people want the
wood pavement and are determined to
have it, which pavement shall we give
them, the best, or not the best? Now, L
have before me here. scEdt had so7ser I
made the argument, certificates from Chi
cago, st. Louis, San Francisco and all the
other cities where the pavement was laid,
that it stood better than any wood pave
msnt that had ever been laid.
(From the Same Speech.)
A committee of investigation went over
the whole ground of this business in Wash

committee and told them all he knew
about this pavement; told them what he
knew of its merits and told them he and I

New York special states that broker
says the heavy rise in stocks results
from the efforts of nearly every heavy
operator fer Gould, who is buying be-
cause he recognizes the fact that he
will be able TO get higher prices this
week. He did not originally. however.
anticipate any such rise as the present.
and he will shortly squeeze the market
by calling in his large outstanding
loans. lie. however, is strong bull in
the prosperity Of the country. Few peo
pls appreciate the work going on in
the south west. He will very soon have
II round hundred millions OF bonds in
roads he is extending and is going to
build in that region. He will secure
connections with Atlantic roads 1t is
thought that that has been generally
attended to already. and when those
who want six per cent. for their money
have faith enough in the prosperity of
the country and in Gould to trust it to
him, he will go on and surprise the
world by the extent of his schemes.
This is where his time and money and
energy are directed, and he is desirous
OF seeing low prices for stocks that
money may be left free to float into the
channels he has dug for it, Tomorrow

is. II It really is nothing more than a
manipnlative movement. there will be
