MANY BIG COMBINES.

Schemes at Springfield, Manufactures
of Agricultural Implements Forming
Trusts In the Interest of Profits and
Economy Middlsmen Thrown Out of
Work.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Dec. 26.-This city
is the largest manufacturing center for
agricultural machinery in the United
States. and little else is talked II here
but the formation OF trusts or
combines in rcapcrs and other
implements Besides the reaper trust
a thrashing machine combine is
talked Of One meeting is said %
have been held and a company with a
capital stock Of $50, 900, 600 proposed.
The latest scheme is a grain-drill com
bine. 1t is said that a number Of the
large grain-drill concerns in the
country are already figuring on the
deal. The effect of these trusts
will be far-reaching and viii throw
out of work thousands of travelling
agents and middlemen who have been
selling agricultural machinery for the
various companies. The most conserva-
tive estimate OF the saving 10 the har-
vester trust over the old competitive
system is $40. 600, 900. A manufacturer
figured that there were 1900 travelling
men for the various reaper concerns
which are now com bInes. These
men, wnen not selling machinery,
were looking after collections, 20
that they were on the road most of the
time. Their salaries and expenses at

DECIDED TO INCORPORATE.
Chicago's Biggest Mercantile Firm
Will Be Stocked.

Will BE Stocked.
CHICAGO, Oct. Following in the
line of some of the most prominent and
successful firms in Chicago, such as
Hubbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., c.
M. Henderson & Co., Phelps, Dodge &
Palmer company, Keith Bros. d Co., the
old and well established firm of John Y.
Farwell & Co. have decided to incor-
porate about the first of next year. The
capital will be about So, 000, 900; no pros
pectus will be issued, or stock offered
to the public. 1t is understood that
other firms are also considering such a
change, as this is now generally con-
coded to be the most approved organ
iZatiOn for conducting business. The firm
of j. V. Farwell d Co., is the oldest dry
goods Jobbing house in Chicago. The
house is prominent not only for its long
and unblemished record, but also for
the fact that one of its members, G.. B.
Farwell, is United States senator
from Illinois. The present firm is a
descendant of the house of Cooley.
Wadsworth & Co., which was esta :
liShed in 1S4S, when the present city of
Chicago was little more than a frontier
town. MIR. Farwell was junior mem
Der of the firm. According to mercan-
tile reports of January, 1890, the capital
of the firm was estimated at $4,000, 900
and its annual business at e22. 900, OOO
The widespread influence exerted by
the historic house of j. Y. Farwell &
Co. and the general interest attending
such plans of reorganization render the
proposed step one of the greatest inter-
est to merchants and financiel men, not
only in Chicago, but in all the large
Eastern mercantile and financial centers
where the transactions of the concern
in both lines are enormous.

pope" GooDING's P1AINr.
He Says Mind Reader johnston
is O. X

CHICAGO, Oct. Nv. E. Goodiug,
manager of p. Alexander Johnstone,
the mind reader, arrived here from
Minneapolis this afternoon. and in an
interview warmly denied the statement
of Chicago physician that the hood
used by Johnstone was transparent and
that by slipping the bandages down the
mind reader was enabled to see. Mr..
Gooding added: ''This doctor has a
bullying forehead and by contraction of
the eyebrows can raise bandages placed
over his eyes. Then by having fake
hood made, which opens by pull on a
cord. he gives so-called expose of
JohnStOne'S work. JohnStone frequent
~, and during warm weather es-
pecially, does not use any hood,
and as matter OF fact. his hood has no
strings attached to it, and further, he
always allows any one who wishes in
an audience to examine it. Probably
over 10000 people have made personal
examination of it. The hood used by
the doctor would not stand the in
veStigation of dozen people, and it is
singular that some of the scientific men
with whom JohnStOne has worked
should not have observed these cords
and loopholes if they actually existed.
We are perfectly willing that any news
paper should Selecta committee of prom
lnent men i'll whom people have conf
dence, and subject tombstone to the

WON'T FIGHT FOR 1T.
Clarkson's Opinion of Blaine as a
Presidential Candidate.


CHICA GO, Oct. 1.-Ex-Assistant Post
master General Clarkson arrived in this
city to-day. In the course of an iuter-
view with reporter for an afternoon
paper he said, speaking of the tariff,
that he was pleased with it as whole,
and he thought the country would in
dorse it. Though, like a new boot, %
he added, sit will doubtless pinch in a
few places at first" He did not favor
the sugar and tin plate schedules as
passed. He continued: Reciprocity?
There is no doubt it is very popular.
No one seems able to give an exact
definition OF it, and doubtless to it's mys-
teriousneSs, as to all mystery, much of
the popular interest is due. AS for nv
self, look upon reciprocity as protec-
TONS option on free trade. That is as
near as can come to it; and that, it
seems to me. is about-fight."
''Do you think Mr.. Blaine will be an
aggressive candidate for the presidency
in '92?'
81 do not. The man doesn't live who
ton, and were Mr.. Blaine to be tend
cred it he would accept. But he will
not fight for it. Mr.. Blaine / look upon
as the greatest force IN the world to-day.
The blending together of the countries
into one harmonious commercial whole
he desires to see; and if, through the
operation of his ideas. reciprocity and
the principles adopted by the Pam
American congress, such blending
should come to pass, his name would be
made more imperiShable than his occu-
pancy of the presidential chair could
make it."
