New YORK, April Or. G. Dun Il Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
season of extraordinary speculation has
set in. Grain, pork products, cotton, oil and
sugar have advanced, the latter in spite of
the proposal to remove the entire duty, and
spruce lumber also, IN spite of the rapidly
increasing interruption of building by eight
hour strikes. The general average of prices
for commodities has advanced Il of per
cent in a week, and 1 and 40 per cent. in
three weeks.
Stocks have also been stronger and pros
poets of trade, which are influenced rather by
prices at which goods are sold than at the
volume of business transacted, are rather
cheerful.
Wheat was started upward by reports of
injury in winter wheat states. At New York
the sales have been IL, ,00O, 600 bushels, prob
Corn has advanced in sympathy 21a and oats
lac. Pork has risen 81 per barrel.
There is not corresponding improvement
in the industrial condition. Wool has been
firmer in Boston without change of price.
In the dry goods market no improvement is
seen. The boot and shoe industry is clearly
thriving, and leather and hides are both a
shade tirmer and in more active demand, but
the eight hour strikes in many cities have al
ready arrested many building operations,
and are expected to extend, so that the mar
ket for glass is already affected.
The iron business shows no improvement.
In steel rails large orders are pending, and 1t
is thought they can be placed at S;S. Bar
iron is dull and depressed.
Substantially all the reports from other
cities give an encouraging record of the state
of business. 1t is especially noteworthy that
there is no serious monetary pressure. Money
is quiet and easy at Boston, easier at Phila-
delphia, and steady with plentiful supplies at
Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Detroit.
Exports in produce in Michigan seem to
have increased fully 5 per cent. over last
year. and probably exceeding imports by
S5,OOO,OOO, but thus far IN April exports have
fallen about 10 per cent. below last years at
New York, while imports show an increase of
1215 per cent.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der PA, as compared with 2o9 last week.
For the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 246.

HARMAN GUILTY.
The Editor of the Lucifer Guilty
on Four Counts.
Colonel Bradley Made a Strong
Defense for the Free Lover. But
the Jury After Being Out Four
Hours SAID "Guilty."

TOPEKA, KAN, April H.-The argument
IN the Harman case in the United States dis
trict court was able. The evidence of the
prosecution was so complete that the defense
based its case wholly upon the plea of in
sanity. Colonel Bradley spoke two hours and
half for the defense, and made a strong
plea for immunity on the ground of insanity
as the facts and circumstances would admit.
The conduct of the prisoner dining the trial
was cited as evidence of his insanity. The
defendant objected to being called insane
and protested against the line of defense
adopted by his counsel. Colonel Bradley
turned that to account.
United States Attorney J. W. Ady showed
the utter depravity of a mind which could
produce such vicious things as were pub
Gshed, and the outrage against society and
public decency which its publication occa-
stoned.
The jury retired at 1890. and returned
verdict at 2:20, finding him guilty on four of
the seven counts upon which he was tried.
The counts were for each separate person
to whom he had mailed copyOf the paper
containing the Whitehead or Markland letters.
The judge reserved sentences. Harman
was visably affected by the verdict. The
Judge asked Hartman whether he was ready
for trial upon the new Indictment returned
against him. He SAID he was not, and the
case was continued.
A lawyer named Chamberlain arrived from
New York to defend Harman.

CIVIL SERVICE.

discussion in the senate arose, over an
unimportant matter, upon the civil service
law and commission, during which Senator
Cockrell charged that the civil service reform
was the work of the republican party. but
that party now seeks means of evadlng IT,
Senator Hoar expressed the belief that no
party in the country would be hardy enough
to put itself on a platform demanding the
repeal of the civil service law.

OFFICIAL BRIBERY.


The time was when q direct
charge Of bribery was rarely made
against public officials. Knoxville
Journal.
Yes that was when men had short
terms Of Office but when old sinners
are kept in Office, not because Of
their purity, but because they re-
ward the meanest men in . party to
do dirty work for them, is the rea-
son 90 many men are prosecuted for
corrupt. practices. They sell them
selves to old party hacks who have
no moral standing or purity Of char
acter. Look at Fifteen men ar
rested in the past few days for rob-
bling the mails. All getting their
official positions for dirty jealous
work for some Congressman. Eight
marked bills were found on the per-
son of one negro appointee, taken
from eight letters. That fellow We
presume had helped to carry thu
negro vote for some Congressman
so he was rewarded, while good mel

COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS

1.-THE old dogma that supply and
demand makes the price or CONNER
cial value still obtains, and is taught
to the exclusion Of other and more
truthful explanations Of the ele-
ments that enter into that term.
Supply and demand do not make
the level price Of labor and its pro-
ducts in any better sense than the
mark left by the storm-driven wave
upon the rock indicates the level Of
the ocean. It is the ability to pur-
chase that makes the level price,
and nothing else"
The TINES clips the above from
the Waterman, but does not know
whether it is the author Of it or not,
but desires to say, while ability to
buy may and does enter into the
question Of demand, yet when any
one says that supply and demand do
not regulate the price Of labor. he
does not know much about the ques-
tsons growing ont OF the relations OF
life. A man may have his thou
sands but does not wish to buy .
certain commodity. He may also
have = certain commodity but his
neighbors may all have q supply Of
the same and therefore there is NO
demand for his commodity. Now
what inducements are there for EN-.
ploying men to work to increase
that for which there is no sale; and
it does not increase the price o
labor, because A B and c have nj
money to buy. Paupers never in
crease the price of labor, and wher
there is more labor on the marke
than there is demand for the arti
cles they produce, it does regulate
the price of labor without reference
to the power of any one to buy
Heavy demands always increase tn
price of labor. A paupers deman'
has no regulating qualities in it, a
his appetite is not known to tn
commercial world. A man ma
. have plenty of ability to purchas
D but does not invest because there
9 no commercial demand for the abun
0 dant supply offered.

THE ROAD CONGRESS.

WHAT has become Of the Tennes-
see road congress, so much talked
Of q few months ago? Is it taking
a nap KNOXVILLE Journal.
No it's not taking nap. It's in
a sound sleep-a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep. If the Farmers Alliance
will make the road question one Of
the planks in their platform it will
make them more money than the
discussion Of oleomargarine or cot
ton seed oil lard. Outside of rail-
roads, in Tennessee, the next great
question is wagon roads. And then
paramount to that there may be
certain moral questions Of economy,
that it might be we'll to consider
But let's consider one thing at q
time and let that one question be
the building Of good roads. Farm
ers would make money to give one
third of their real estate toward thu
making of good, permanent macada
mized roads.

HOW WE STAND.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
Republicans went squarely on re-
cord to-day as favoring prohibition.
The party has evidently surrendered
to the Prohibitionists. The test
vote was taken over the amendment
offered in committee of the whole
yesterday providing for absolute
prohibition in Oklahoma until the
Legislature of the new Territory had
an opportunity to legislate on the
question. Every Democrat, with
the exception of four, voted against
the prohibition amendment, and
every Republican voted for it or
lodged the vote. The Democrats
managed the question shrewdly and
got their opponents on record much
against their will. The German
voters throughout the country can
hardly fail to understand the signi.
ficance of the vote. 1t means that
the Republican managers have sur.
rendered to the Prohibitionists.-
Nashville American.
The American thinks they man.
aged it shrewdly to get the Republi'
cans to put themselves on record in
favor Of prohibition, and says the
German voters will understand tina,
the Republicans have surrendered
to the Prohibitionists, and the Amer
lean wishes the whiskyites, foreign
ers and natives to understand tina,
the Democracy are loyal to the So
looms, as they voted unanimousl,
that it was right to have them anG
to make drunkards. What do you
think Of that, Democratic church
members? do you take in the 50
looms as . part Of your political diet

The Journal Of last Wednesday
compares the death rate of Chatta-
nooga and Knoxville, and finds by
chat comparison that Chattanooga
has less deaths than Knoxville, and
urges the people Of that city to rem
edy the matter by a regular system
Of sewerage. The death rate Of
Chattanooga is, for whites 1928 to
the thousand: blacks 1922 to the
thousand. Knoxville +: whites 1888
blacks, 14sA. So it is observable
that the difference is larger than the
situations would indicate, Natur-
ally Chattanooga is the more sickly

A HIGH license and local option
bill is now before the Iowa Legisla-
ture. The TINES understands that
the Constitution prevents the sale
ofliquor or the manufacture Of it as
. beverage, and if that is the case
how can such a law obtain unless
the Constitution is amended. If
the Republican party consents to
such a law the party will go out of
power in that state. With the
enactment of such law fifty thou
sand voters will step into a new
party organization, leaving the Dem
ecrats in power. 1t looks just now
as if the saloon was tobe let loose for
