Washburn Makes Plea Against Gam
bling in Grain.
WASHINGTON, July 1i.-Washburn occu-
PIED the attention of the Senate for more
than two hours to-day with an elaborate
argument In favor of the anti-option bill
de ala not ask for any action on the bill
itself, as 1t is not before the Senate for
action. Wash5urn said the bill was not
directed against legitimate trade. but against
that gigantic modern invention known as
short selling" OF the agricultural products
OF tne country. 1t was SYSTEM under
which 1t was possible to juggle with values
and practically eliminate from the COM
merce OF the country the law of supply and
demauG-a system which robbed the pro-
ducer and filled the pockets OF the parasite.
lie made The broad statement that prices of
agricultural products were made artificially
and arbitrarily on Boards of Trade, and
most notably on the Board of Trade of
Chicago.
The Senator gave relative figures Of the
actual deliveries Of wheat from New York,
Chicago and Minneapolis, showing, as he
sald, that at Minneapolis IL was three times
larger than at Chicago and per cent more
than at Chicago and New York combine d.
What an anomaly IL was, he said, that Chi
cago. the third wheat market in the United
States, makes the price for from 400 600, 600
TO 60O,0 COO of bushels in the United States
and for the wheat OF the whole world The
wheat received at Chicago was only a nest
egg, and yet it was a basis for transactions
aggregating from 50.o00.000 to 100 1000. .000 of
bushels per day. Washburn dismissed as
Illogical, absurd and void of common sense
the objections made to the bill that it would
Interfere with regular business. As to the
other argument against ii, that wheat opera
tors would transfer their business TO Can
ada, he said that many New York business
men had felt it healthy to transfer their
household goods TO Canada, and that coun-
try had withstood the shock. He closed by
answering the objections made 10 the bill on
constitutional grounds.
The consideration of the sundry civil bill
was then resumed, the pending question
being on Qnay's amendment requiring the
Columbian Exposition TO be closed on Sun
day. The matter provoked discussion last
ing two hours and half, and was not fin.
ished when the Senate adjourned.
