Rusiness Gambling.

Breeding has been the star stock in point
of activity and strength, and the short in
terest in it, which was very large, was
treated TO quite lively little squeeze, and
forced to do some rapid climbing to cover
their shorts.
''The old Philadelphia bull clique took a
prominent part in the Reading manipula-
tion, and they were very heavy bnyers-so
much SO that it is suspected that they are
buying largely for control at the next
meeting, as we'll as incidentally to squeeze
the shorts"
The above paragraphs are clipped at ran
dom from city daily and is only news
item of the New York stock market, such as
may be read every day in the city papers
1t will be readily seen that the business is
pure gambling. This same class Of gambling
is the largest volume Of what is called bus
mess transacted in all the large cities. Ano
10 order to keep this gambling in vigorous
condition dominating all Legitimate honest
business, our presen, financial system has
been established. If entire control of the
money of the country was not placed in the
hands of private corporations this modern
system of stock and produce gambling could
not exist. All the money of the country is
placed in banks TO safe keep and loan. The
money which is not needed in small towns,
cities and rural districts for immediate use,
is sent by The banks TO the large city banks
which pay their country correspondents
small interest for its use. This plethora Of
money gathered from all the outlying ter
ritory makes money very abundant in The
"money centers" and the daily papers never
fire of repeating that money is in great
abundance, and "drug," &c. The condi-
,ion is like that of sick man whose blood
has been driven from the extremities IN

The Lesson of the Election.

The general result of the election Is
tho election of Cleveland. At this
writing details are not known and can
not be. probably, for several days. But
the lesson of the campaign is unmistaK-
able, which is general dissatisfaction
throughout the country with an I'M
certainty among tie masses as to what
is the true cause and remedy. Hence
they vacillate from side to side hoping
to find relief in change. In peither OLD
party will that relief ever be found.
Tn the south the result shows more
distinctly and sharply the moral cow
ardice of the better or more intelligent
portion of the people and the besotted
political ignorance of the masses. VIII
the dark shadow of the ghost of slavery
ever disappear from their dreams at
night and their imagination ty day:
The people of that section have become
the foot ball and convenient pons IN
the political games played by the
monopolies of the east and north largely
augmented by foreign wealth and
nolitical skill. The reformers are only
confirmed in the belief which they
have constantly proclaimed, that
persistent effort of education of the
people is the only hope for the future.
The work is one of much labor requlr-
ing patient endeavor of years. The
tickle masses will desert the cause and
their advisers which they seem to
espouse with all theirgerheart, and
return, again and again to serve their
old masters and kneel before the party
god This is the lesson of every re-
form and reformers who have an abid-
ing faith in their cause are always
prepared for and foresee these events.
All history is filled with this truth,
and in the language of Patrick Henry;
We must forecast the future by the
past. The superiority of soul and true
manhood of the western people over
those of the southern states never show
with such bright contrast in the past
as was brought out by this recent
National election. In the west they
stood and fought like the spartan band
at Thermopylae, while their southern
comrades covered parayzed by
wretched moral fear at the sight of
their old masters.
Although Mr.Harrison's administra
ton and the corporation government
policy of the leaders of the republican
party have been so fatty condemned
by the overwhelming voice of the
people, it will be bad mistake if Mr..
Cleveland and the millionaire leaders
suppose the people mean 10 endorse
their policy, if policy it can be called.
If nothing more than Mr.. Cleveland's
former administration offered is repeat
ed by his next, popular condemnation
will rend it with fury which the pre-
sent cataclysm of the republican party
will be as nothing.

Buying Money.

In place of gold being a measure
of values. merchandise and labor are
the measure OF gold which these
measures prove is steadily inoreas
ing in value. Labor and the pro-
ducts of labor are uniform in guam
tity and have the least variation in
intrinsic value of anything in the
wide world. They most resemble a
steady flowing stream. Gold is in
no sense measure of anything, but
steadily grows relatively soarcer-
relative to other products of industry
and by an immutsble law Of
nature, dearer. There is nothing so
steadily rises in value or price as
gold. For the purpose of concealing
this fact the popular phrase of lower
or higher prices of the usable goods
of the world has been adopted. By
the use OF the terms high price and
low price the mind is misied. Were
the expression changed from its
present false and misleading popular
use to, the price of money is high or
low, the delusion wou d soon be dis
PEELED which now clouds popular
thought When people said money
is high or low in price, the law which
controls price would be applied to
money and the cause would be at
once apparent to the most ordinary
minds. They would know that it
was scarce and in demand when
what we call low prices prevail, and
to supply the deficiency demand
would at once be made on the source
whence money comes, which is the
government This leads up at once
to the logical conclusion that the
entire charge or control of money
must be placed under the government.
We know that the present financial
system that has placed the entire
control of this life blood of commerce
under corporations which have form
ed trust. gives this trnst the power
to make money artificially scarce or
plenty at their option. Therefore
when this trust proposes to secure a
large amount of property, of what,
ever kind, it makes money artlficially
scarce and larger quantity of prop.

OUR CAPACITY!

To do business great prepa-
ration is necessary. During
the quarter of a century of
our business experience we
have expended money and
time in the supervision and
arrangement of the various
departments. Great care has
been exercised, and every pra-
cticable convenience has been
called into requisition with all
that is necessary to expe-
diency in serving our patrons
and to provide them with the
comforts of trading. New de-
partments have been added,
old ones enlarged, and all ar
ranged with a view to conven-
fence of the customers. In
fact nothing has been omitted
which it is thought would in
any way aid the public in
supplying their wants and
needs.
