OPTION DEALERS.
the Washington Homestead.

From the Washington Homestead.
Every pound of cotton and pork and
every bushel of grain produced IN tins
country is sold in spite of the protest OF
both producers and consumers, at figures
made by the gambling of option and
future dealers. That these men are
called dealers would seem To imply
that they are in some way useful in
strument in commerce. This is a mis-
take. They have just the same con-
nection with commerce that lice and
horn flies have with the stock industry,
that the chinch bug and the cut worm
have with growing crops. or that the
curculio or apple borer has with horti-
culture-they subsist upon it to Its IN
jury, and, unless cure be found, to It's
destruction. A faint pretense Is made
that there would be no money to move
crops were it not for these gamblers,
but how much money do they furnish
for that purpose? How much has Mr..
Partridge, the king of the wheat pit,
supplied to move the wheat crop! Not
a dollar that anybody ever heard of. He
and his like have done evil and only
evil to men who labor, and the extent
of the evil is almost beyond computation.
Mr.. William Warren, Jr.. of the George
Taylor Commission company, of St.
Louis, for many years a close observer
of the effects of gambling III farm pro-
ducts, says:
Some far-minded thinkers estimate
the loss by the tactics of Chicago and
New York on wheat fifty cents per
bushel; corn, fifteen to twenty cents;
oats, ten cents; rye, twenty cents; pork,
one cent per pound, and that New York
and New CLEANS have leSsened values on
cotton three cents per pound. These
figures, if correct, would make our PEN
sion list look little. and develop prom
ising rival even of the war debt.
Option dealers are no more instrument
talities of trading and dealing in any
useful sense, simply because they are
called dealers, than faro dealers are.
They serve TO transfer money from the
pockets of one man into those of another
as faro dealers do, and like them they
do it without any return being made fol
it. and without adding 4 dollar TO the
wealth of the world.

Bread Cast Upon the Waters.

From the Kansas City star
Ti;usville gave $4,000 to Chicago at
the time of the great fire, $4,000 to the
Johnstown sufferers. S., 900 to the south
at the time Of the yellow fever epidemic,
and sent 81 800 to far-away Russia, and
before the fire had ceased burning or The
smoke had lifted, offers of relief flashed
over the wire to Titusville. Chicago
will repay the debt with great interest
for all the years; Johnstown will remcm-
Der; the south will not forget. The
brave citizens Of Titusville themselves
raised $4,000 at once for their own suffer
ers; and those who help Themselves will
be helped. Money cannot bring beck
the dead. but it can help the crippled,
feed the hungry and shelter the home
less. and it will come in like Il flood, for
the world is an insurance company now.

a very handsome compliment 20 your

ocrats has been that the reciprocity
clause in the present tariff law was
stolen from that party's declaration Of
principles, and the ever ready excuse
set up by them why their party in con-
gress has not undertaken to repeal the
Mckinley act is because of the recipro-
city clause, which provides for free
trade under stipulated conditions. With
the average Democrat it is not so much

inmate. You viii hear OF the storm
