AN ANTl-MONOPOLIST VIEW.
Tho Leader OF the New Work Anti
91onopOlists Before the Senate
Committee.

New YORK. Sept. 22.-F. B. Thurber,
leader of the Anti Monorolist league of this
state said to the senate committee on labor and
education that the condition of labor was at
tributable to monopoly of various kinds. The
affiliations of steam and electricity had de-
veloped corporate organization tremen-
douSly, and the present multiplication OF
machinery. These were not inimical to
labor in themselves, and had in fact conferred
great benefit on humanity; but their develop
ment had not been properly regulated There
were other monopolies which We're causes of
the difficulty. Land and transportation mo-
nopolies, for instance, He referred to the
use of money by corporations to influence
legislation, and said it was impossible to pun
ish them for it. Speaking Of watered stock,
he said the New York Central was paying in
terest to the amount of nearly four millions
per annum on water, and thought that if the
state owned the railways in would not water
stock, discriminate in favor of persons and
places, corrupt elections and debauch
Judges.
Thurber said one of the greatest difficulties
with which reforners had to deal was the
new representatives in congress and in state
legislatures i'll the pay of railroad and other
corporations. In the last congress, ne as
serted, there were 264 lawyers, a majority of
whom were retained by corporations, or
were directly or indirectly influenced by
others in the legislature in the interest of
corporations.
Thurber explained that he did not mean
that these legislators whom he had mentioned
directly promoted legislation in the interest
of corporations, bat when there was a con-
flict of interest between corporations and the
people they would have a tendency to take
sides with the former.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
Legitimate Business Reported to he
HeaIthys--The Failures.

healChys..Tne Ea1IufeB.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The r. g. Dun &
Co. mercantile agency report says that not
withstanding the fact that transactions, as
interpreted by the bank exchanges, show a
large decline as compared with last year, all
the symptoms regarding trade point to
prosperous condition. Speculation GER
tainly is less rampant than a year
ago, but legitimate trade is almost
as large in volume, and certainly more
satisfactory, both as to the condition of stocks
held and profits realized. The large absorp-
ton of goods at the chief jobbing centers in
dicates a healthy tone in the retail trade of
the country. Collections generally are good
and money continues in abundant supply,
and rates for loans are exceptionally low for
this season, when so much money is required
for the moving of crops In dry goods there
has been great deal of activity of a very
healthy character and, as in groceries, iron
and other trading staples, there is in the
main satisfactory condition. In cotton
there have been some fractional advances,
showing that the bull element is in the as
cendent, and prices closed higher and steady.
There is fair movement in spot cotton,
sellers generally securing an advance. Ad-
vices from the crops still remain unfavorable,
and the movement of new cotton shows no
great increase. The grain markets con-
tinue to decline. In rice prices are well sus-
tanned, with only moderate supplies Offering
The market for raw sugar is strong, with
prices still slightly advancing.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-There were 1T
failures in the United States reported to
Bradstreet's during the past week41 more
than the preceding week, &c more than the
corresponding week of 1882, and 81 more

the previous week, the middle states had 80,
an increase of 10; New England states 81,

BY WIRE TO BRAZIL.
Opening Of Direct TeIegraphic COM
municati0n with Dom PedrO's Do
miDiOU.

NEW YORK, Sept 22-The officers and di-
rectors of the Central and Southern American
Telegraph company are elated over the sue
cessful opening of their lines to Brazil, con-
nection being made with the United States
via Galveston.
President Arthur sent the following cable
gram to the emperor of Brazil:
"The president and government of the
United States salute the emperor and people
of Brazil through the new channel of direct
communication between the two ccun-
tries, opened via Galveston and Valparaiso,
and see in these multiplied links of inter
course assurance that the happy relations be-
tween them will continue and increase to the
material benefit of both peoples and coun-
tries"
The opening of the new line gives Ameri-
can merchants the advantage of direct COM
nunication with Rio de Janeiro. By the old
route to Lisbon messages had to cross the
Atlantic ocean twice before delivery. The
line of the company and its transactions COM
prise 500 miles of water and 567 miles of
land line, and connect exclusively with 20, 600
miles of wire in Mexico and Central and
South America. ANY of the Western Union
company's offices in the United States will
accept messages for the Central and South
American COMPANY

A Renville County waterspout.

Renville Union Quite a curiosity
in the way of a miniature cyclone was
witnessed by seven hunters last Sun
day. They were out on Nine Mile
Slough in boat. Their attention was
attracted by Il loud rushing noise
west of them, and on looking up they
saw waterspout some 10 or Is feet
high rapidly advancing upon them.
They had barely time to grasp the
heavy canoe on either side when the
spout struck the bow of the boat.
They express it as having been de-
cidedly interesting for them for mo-
ment, but they received no other in
jury than a good wetting. 1t then
passed east, keeping the middle of the
slough, throwing the water and spray
high above the rushes, until 1t finally
went out of sight. They pronounced
it beautiful spectacle.
