SOME REMARKS BY JAY GOULD



SARATOGA, n Y, Aug. 2I-Jay Gould
was interviewed before leaving here Satur-
days He said he anticipated good season
for the railroads on account of the good
crops. Il regard the decision of Judge
Brewer in the United States circuit court of
greater Importance to the railroads than a
good crop in any single year" Mr.. Gould
continued a mean the decision restraining the
state railroad commissioners from putting in
force the schedule of traffic rates prepared
by them. The people of the west have the
railroads but have no ownership in them.
The securities of these corporations are most
ly held in the east and in Europe This is
an unfortunate condition of affairs. Had
the tendency of legislation not been checked
by the courts railroad stocks and bonds
would have been in a fair way to lose their
investment value"
al apprehend no serious injury to the bust
ness interests of the country no matter
which political party wins was Mr. Gould's
answer to a question on that point. at Il
always claimed in every political campaign
by each party that the success of the opposi-
ton means destruction TO the Industries of
the country, but notice that after election
everything goes on nicely. Now, believe
for instance that free wool will benefit
rather than injure our manufacturers en-
gagged in that branch Of industry. for it will
give them, free of duty, the raw matera
from England and Australia, where tbs
quality is very fine, to mix with the com
moner grade grown here. If the wool i'm
ported were Of equal grade with ours, the
effect might be different, but it is much
superior. Yes, | think everything will &c
along prosperously after the first week OF
next November

THE Soensha Folkets Tid,stng. the most
widely circulated Scandinavian paper in
the northwest, announces that it can't
support Gen. Harrison for president.
This detection forcibly illustrates the at
titude of Minnesota Scandinavians. and
disproves the recent alleged examination
by high tariff papers made to show that
the Swede and Norwegian vote was still
solidly republican, Magnus Lunar, the
editor of the paper, announces that he
cannot stand on the Chicago platform
nor support the republican nominees,
while heartily favoring radical reduc-
ton of the tariff. - The paper has always
been strongly republican. In leaving
that party it follows the course of the
Chicago Slcedisb American, which also
circulates largely in the northwest, and
is strong advocate of tariff reform.
Mr.. Lunnsr says that until the present
campaign there were no Swedish demos
cratic papers, and practically no Swedish
democratic vote. Many will this year
vote their first democratic ticket and al
most to man they are with that party
on the tariff issue.
