DISEASED BUSINESS.
SCARCITY OF BLOOD" WHAT
KILLS THE PATIENT.

Business Mon of the Nation Must Fail I'm
less They Have the Benefit of Money at
Constitutional Banking illustrated
Tho Government Should Control the
Railroads.
In what follows shall show that the
majority of the business men of the ma
ton must fail un ess they have the ben
eft of banking or the use of money at
cost. That they cannot pay interest on
money and successfully compete with
bankers in productive enterprises. For
illustration. suppose we divide society
into two divisions the first division to
have the benefit of banking, as banks do
now, the second division to depend upon
the banks of the first division for the
use of money to do their exchanging
with, they to pay interest at the rate OF
6 per cent. for its use; in all other re-
spects both divis ons to be on equal foot
ing-eQual facilities for production,
equal markets. and equally Industrious
For the purpose of computation, we will
suppose that each division possesses
twenty millions worth of wealth in the
form of homestcads and manufacturing
plants-in other words, real estate-the
value of their joint production to be
twenty millions annually: cost of main
tenanrc, ten millions of the prodrct;
annual increase of wealth, ten millions
in product In order to make the neces-
sary exchanges needed to create this
wealth, they must have currency or
money to the amount OF ten millions OF
dollars.
Government makes currency or CONS
money for the first division to the extent
of ten million. Sufficient in volume for
both divisions. Second division may
hire their money of the first division.

GREEN GOODS GANG
Captured in New York by In
spectOr Byrnes.
THEY DID A BIG BUSINESS.
The swindlers Paid Out $4,000
Month for Postage.

Tho Names of 10000 Business Men TO
whom Circulars Had Been Sent Found
in the Outnt, which Was Very Com
pIete- They Had Printing Pross Of
Thoir own Prominent Western Man
who Wanted Some of tho "stuR"
NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Inspector Byrnes
has broken up the worst greengoods
gang that has operated in this city for
several years In the arrest yesterday Of
Frank Brooks, alias pretty Frank, "
and Terence, alias Poodle Murphy,
two of the most dangerous swiudlers
men in the country were captured.
In trunk in the room where the men
were taken were found forty-six books
combining 10000 names of men from
almost every city, town and hamlet in
the United States. One set of books
contained the right names of these par
ties and their addresses while another
set had cipher entry.
Two tin boxes were among the dis
covered things in the trunk. In them
were SO, 900 letters and kilograms from
victims, dated from every part Of the
country.
Brooks and his coufederates have done
during the past few months an immense
business, or rather preparation for IT,
They have recently mailed 800, 900 circu
lars to various parts of the country. The
postage alone has cost in one month
$4,000
Sometlmein with year Brooks pur-
chased a printing olice, and with the
| outfit prod uced his own circulars at
reduced cost. When he had finished he
resold the press and material.
Replies will be coming in from the
800, 600 circulars very soon, but not ono
cent of good will Brooks or his Confed-
crates realize from them, for without the
records and the cipher number the game
cannot be worked with success.
The circular which the gang has dis
tributed so literally holds out the usual
alluring bait, Customers must come to
this city and do their business person
ally. The goods and rates are described
as follows:
'My prices are as follows: $500 by 49,,
900; 5000 by $40, 600; $1,000 by $50, 900.
These goods are as fine az human skill
can make them. Not one of my agents
have had the least difficulty in handling
! them, and many have acquired indepen-
| dent fortunes"
All communication with the "gang"
is by telegraph, using a cipher furnished
with the circular, and prospective Gus
toners are strongly warned not to use
the mails, as discovery is the inevitable
/ result.
Among the letters found was one from
John f. Reed, who claims to be the
superintendent of the Elgin Home Stock
Farm, Alpine, Ind, in which the writer
sends 500 for a small consignment of the
'stuff' to try and see how it works. If
successful he will engage in larger tran
saCtions, he says,

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct 26.-The de-
tectives who arrested the Clark family
for blowing up the Dupont powder mill
claim that the information obtained from
the husband will result in the speedy
capture Of the entire gang Of conspira-
tors and their conviction.
The Clarks, who consist of Edward
Clark, Mary Clark, his wife, and Joseph
Clark, their son, fifteen years old, were
arrested Saturday, and were placed in
the Newcastle Jail on a charge of causing
the explosion of Duponts powder mill a
year ago, by which explosion fifteen
lives were lost thirty people were
wounded and sixty dwelling-houses were
wrecked.
The detectives ingratiated themselves
into the favor of the Clarks, and finally
obtained the information that led to the

Tho Decision Allowing Tho win to Stand
Not IA Victory for Either Side.
SALEM, Mass, oct. 90. Speaking Of
his Judgment in the Searles Hopkins will
case on Saturday, which allows the will
to stand, Judge Harmon says:
"This decision of mine is not at all on
the merits Of the case. Why we have had
only about third Of the evidence to be
put i'm, and the most important wit
nesses have not been examined. Mr..
Thomas e. Stillman, Mr.. Timothy Hop
kins, and, In fact, none Of the contest
ants have been examined at all Counsel
have simply been trying to get at what
evidence they could from the petitioners
for the viii, and they have followed the
very ordinary course of procedure. They
have not attempted to fully prove their
case here, for they have no desire to
show their hand. They have reserved
their evidence for the Supreme Court.
'No, this is not victory for either
| side" he added. 'I had only one
course open TO me and one decision
| to make. This is ozly step, This
case has just begun"
Timothy Hopkins, az soon rs the de-
! cision was announced, gave notice Of
! appeal, and il is apparent that this case
/ may uIhB bulOuku lnB COufJb LOT years.
The will Of Mrs. Hopkins Searles di
| vided her great wealth between Sparles,
her second husband and her adopted
son, Timothy Hopkins, and both were to
| serve as trustees without bonds But
! shortly before her death she caused a
| codicil to be executed in which so much
of the original document as related to
| Timothy was struck out and Hubbard, a
! lawyer and friend of Searles, put in his
| place. The alleged illegally of this al
! teration, said to be the result of undue
| influence misrepresentation and fraud
was the main contention of Timothy
Hopkins, when he opposed the probate Of
| The will.
All the private papers of Mrs. Hop
| ldns-S aries were put in evidence. There
! were sackloads Of letters, diaries and
! documents Of every description read
! and when the private check book of Mr..
| Searle5 was called for determined effort
was made TO keep 1t back, but the court
| decided it was necessary. One of the
| reasons given by Searles for disinherit-
| ing Timothy Hopkins was that the
| young man had hired detectives to spy
! on HE mother and himself This Hop
| kins denied claiming that the detectives
were hired at The request of his mother,
! who had doubts about the disinterested
motives Of Mr.. Searles

CORTLAND N. Y, Oct 26. The death
of Horace Williams, whose body was
found floating in the creek at Lafayette
Mills, still remains a mystery. John
Dobbins, who was last seen with Will
Jams, has not yet turned up 1t was at
flrst supposed that he had met a SINH
lar fate to Williams, but a careful drag
ging of the creek revealed no body there.
The authorities are searching for Dob
bins in all directions, but so far have nc
clue whatever. The theory of foul play
has many adherents, as there was no
money found ON Williams body.
