AN AGENT,
Jay Gould, If He Owns Al He Claims, Has
$4,000, 0 900 Worth of Railroads..

According to the Toledo Blade, Jay
Gould is again the master spirit on Wall
street, 1t will be recalled, that for some
time past, there have been frequent
lurries on Wall street, bordering on a
panic, and that these flurries have been
assigned to various causes. During the
latest furry Jay Gould appeared upon
the scene and became a heavy purchaser
Of railroad stocks. 1t will also be re-
called that 1t was claimed that Barring
Brothers, owing to South American
complications, were obliged to unload
American securities. These securities,
1t would SEEM, were unloaded so alb
ruptly that they went down until they
were selling for a mere song. 1t was
when railroad stock reached Its lowest
point that Jay Gould bought. And
within a week invested $40, 900, 900. The
late purchases make Jay Gould the larg-
est holder Of railroad stock of any man
in the United States. The Toledo Blade
says: with his W roads, and with his
voice In the management of others, the
railroad transportation interests of this
country are practically in his hands"
We leave u readers to conjecture
what will follow when Jay Gould
controls all the railroads of the
United States, and to inquire if Jay
Gould really owns all he claims. Some
time since, ? statement was published,
that Jay Gould "a only the agent of a
vast money power that had its head
quarters in London, England. The
statement looks reasonable In view of
the fact that affairs In South America
are not sufficient cause for the apparent
magnitude of the money panic. Does
not a careful study of the whole affair
lead to the conclusion that the panic and
unloading of American securities was a
pre-arranged affair? and does it not ap-
pear that Jay Gould is really the agent
of a European money power, since he
appears on Wall street at the right time
to buy stock for q song. If Jay Gould
owns what he claims, he is Interested in
railroads, alone, to the amount of Sc, 0lO,-

There is one thing the Peoples Party has

is it has forced the republicans to respect

Still a better thing it has done is, it
has learned to respect itself. For years
we have been waiting, watching and
hoping that some of the great labor
strikes against the greed Of combined
millionaires would be successful. A sue
cessful railroad, telegraph or miners
strike would have educated the laboring
masses to the fact that by organization
and unity they could control capital
and force 1t to treat them fairly.
This would have organized all the
labor Of the civilized world.

ing a bonus to employees who did not be-
long to labor organizations. 1t remained
for the farmers, through the alliance, the
wheel, the grange and kindred combines,
to show by vote in the late election,
which even Wall street is bound to re-
specl, that the day Of poodle control of
this government is at an end. No won
der there was a panic con Change when
the returns came in. Stick together,
farmers and laborers; 1t is your only
hope. Organize an alliance at every
school house in the ''Big Third district

DULUTH, Oct y Duluth was surprised
when she awoke Sunday morning to find
that she had been cut off from the eastern
commercial world by the sinking of a
boat of !, $40 tons. Indeed, she was more
than surprised, she was startled, for if
there is any one thing on which the head
of Lake Superior depends for prosperity
that thing is the fall traffic by lake. The
grain men are the ones most worried over
the situation, for at present the export
demand for wheat is greater than was
ever known in the history of the city.
The Talk of the Town.
The elevator companies will reap a
small benefit from the increase in the
amount of wheat in store, but that will
be more than offset by the tightening of
the money market in consequence Of the
demand for greater amount of money to
handle the wheat. The closing of naviga-
ton, for nobody knows how long, is the
principal topic on the streets, i'll the homes
and at the churches.
