NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The stock market was un-
settled again to-day. An active trade was in
progress from the opening the close, but it was
mainly on the bear side and the greater number
OF stocks traded in show decline on the transac-
tions ranging from IA to 23s per cent the heavi-
est loss being made II distilling. Rumors were
large factor of the speculation and were used by
the bears TO deprec late the shares of the two
ing Industrial properties.
Sugar was attacked under cover OF a report that
at next weeks directors meeting the dividend OF
the common STOCK would be reduced. This found
some believers and preclptated upon the market
large amount OF stOc.s. The rOOm-Jraders also
solo the shares and within the first quarter OF an
hour sugar had broken 2 per cent TO IO2La The
lower range OF prices bToughS in some BUYERS and
the rumor OF dividend reduction found to
have no foundation and on being denied by the
trust broA ers brought arecOvery, which was fol-
lowed by fractional reactions aud rallies until
after delivery hour, when a brisk buying move
ment was organized on what was bel eved to be a
straight tip that the regular dividend would be
declared next Tuesday. quick rise ensued to
lo0. being gain of 2%4 from the low point OF the
Realizing sales then set in. causing A reaction
OF "a closing prices showing advance OF "a
compared with the final SAFE yesterday Distiilt
ing was neglected early in the morning and
moved within range OF 3s but after midday
raid was made on the stock which sent il down
234 from the best price of the morning. When
the tariff bill went into effect, leaving the greater
part of the trust goods in bond, tax could not
be collected on spirits bonded before the la went
into force Serious attention paid to this con
tentIon' but on the strength of private dispatch
from the W est, pointing out the absurdity Of the
claim, the drive against the STOCK of the company
was made. Large blocks were sold short and on
small covering srally of 6s was effected, and 81
lost az the close, and the final quotation was 2SS
below yesterdays closing.
The general market opened steady, but soon he
came unsettled, gradually steadying. and at IL
O'Clock becoming strong, prices being fairly well
held until about the midule OF the afternoon
Thew was developed feeling of oppression, due
largely to the fact that there few if.any sup
porting or ders in the market,and sharp reaction
took place, in which Wheeling and Lake Erie pre-
ferred, the 6rangeTS, oregon Improvement West
Union, Louisville and Nashville and Chicago
Gas were the most prominent, After delivery

lost in the final trading, and the market closed
weak.

orders for work, that are so rare, in the
interest of any candidate is too absurd
to be considered for moment. The
Republican manufacturer of today is
only too glad to secure business to keep
his machinery running and furnish
work for the hosts of waiting employees.
The mill closing story has this fall
started upon its rounds and will doubt
less be printed with eagerness by the
little echoes of Democracy about the
country thatifind it difficult to find any
sort of an argument with which to
stand up before the wave of public SEN
timent that is breaking over the camp
of the party of experiment and ruin.
1t will be taken for what it is worth by
an enlightened people who sorrowfully
contemplate the results Of the mistake
made in throwing the reins Of govern
ment into reckless hands.

Protection and the Farmer.

When President Cleveland asked
the Democrats in congress how they
could "face the people after indulging
in such outrageous determinations and
violations of principle" he had in
mind particularly the gross injustices
wrought by the patched-up Wilson
bill upon the industries and the agri.
culture of the North. Yet of a sudden,
we hear from the Philadelphia Record
that protection can do nothing to help
the farmer to better prices" If so,
why was Grover Cleveland afraid to

show that the Philadelphia Record Is
mistaken. The most profitable farm
ing in this vicinity, for example, is
truck farming. One farmer near Pitts

truck farm, by raising celery, green
groceries and the like. This kind of
farming is profitable because the mar

factory and mine workers eat the most
of this truck; that Is, when they have
enough money to buy it. In 1894,

The Democratic orators two years
